Homo leave no Joubt that his holiness Pope
Leo XIII Is fast approaching the end of his
days. Hts vital energies nro sti-talncd uy
nil sorts of peculiar moans. For example
before the last consistory mot ho wns made
to brontho quantities of oxygen until it was
llmo tocntei the hall. His physicians bo-
llovo tbnt his life cannot bo prolonged much
longer than six months ; Indeed ills qulto
probable that his llfo 1 nearer its close than
that nnel that ho will not sco the approaching
bummer.
Already there Is n good deal of talk about
the succession , nnel it appears that Cardinal
Monaco la Valletta of tlio Inquisition and
Cardinal Parocctil stand the best chance.
Louis Anastav has confessed that ho mur
dered Baronno Dellord , nnd gives as the mo
tive of the crime that hO was driven almost
Jtmd by the necessity of paylne debts to snvo
himself Irom dishonor. Ho says ho left
Lyons December l < wlth the settled resolu
tion to got money oven ni the priceof crime.
Before leaving ho puiOlmsed a knlfo
with xvhlch he1 committed the murder.
On reaching the house of the baroness she
opened tlm door for him , recognized Him nnd
led the way to her room. Ho asked her if
she wns alone. On her nnirmntlvo reply ho
throw himself upon her and cut her throat.
Hearing n servant approaching whllo look
ing for the money ho waited for hor. knlfo
in hand , determined to Kill her also. In the
struggle the knife fell from his hand , ivhoro-
tipon ho tied without having secured any
booty ,
Anustay's confession Is ns strange as his

Lovnox , Doc. 25. The position of Lord
Ilartlnerton as t he-loader of the dissidents
will remain unaltered on his going Into the
House of Lords. The papers teem with spec
ulations as to whether Mr. Joseph Cbnmbor-
Jaln or Sir Henry James will bceomo the
vhttinl head of the party. The question ,
however , wns really settled long ago , during
tlio Illness fiotn which the latociukoof Dovon-
shlro iccoveroel. Under the concurrence o (
Lord Salisbury , who was then vainly nego
tiating for the absorption of Lord Harting-
ton by the conservative party , it was deter
mined that Lord Hartlngton would retain
the nominal and actual loadonhip , Mr.
Chamberlain taking the lead in the House of
Commons. Sir Henry James declined oven
to place himbolf lu competition with Mr.
Chamberlain.
The old liberals are forming a strong wing
of the dissidents , who distrust Mr. Chamber
lain's tondene-y to radicalism. The conserva
tives continue to bo shy toward n politician
with whom they have little In commou ex
cept unionism. But the tory leaders have
tested Mr Chamberlain's willingness and
capacity to work in unison with thorn. Con
servative ) members generally admit his
frankness and Intotrity as a coworker , while
the unionists equally rocognl/o his powers as
n debater. His less known qualities as a tac
tician and his personal courtesy and mental
attainments , however , make him the onlv
possible commander of the party in the House
or Commons.
Lord Hurtington , on assuming the duke
dom , obtains the garter which Mr. Glad
stone obtalnael for the duce used
duke , nnd which Is thus Inherited
in succession. Such nn honor is most
unusual , hut Lord Salisbury , owing the ox-
Utonco of his ministry to Lord Hartlngton ,
and being unable to otherwise repay nis
services , U desirous that tno new duke shall
accept the carter.
Mr. GludstoKO has written a letter to Lord
Hnrtlngton expressing regret at the death of
his father , the dukeof Devonshlie , nnd re
calling tholr. long period of political friend
ship. A number of eminent Glndstontans
will attend the funeral of the duke , though
Mr. Gladstone himself and Mr. Morlov will
be unable to bo present ,

Sir William White , the British ambassador
nt Constantinople , while passing throngh
Koflu yesterday had a short interview with
Premier StumboulolY. Lord Salisbury is reported -
ported as having advised the Bulgarian gov
ernment to go far In satisfying Franco in"tbo
present juncture. It Is the belief of high of-
llcials of the foroien oillco that Lord Salis
bury Is taking an Isolated course in urging
Premier Stnmboulolt to submit to the de
mands of M. Hlbot , the French mmlstnr of
foreign affairs , although the Ber
lin government is known to bo
advising the opposite policy. The reports
o ( Mr. O'Connor , the British agent nt Solln ,
show that it would not bo udvlsiiblo to ox-
pose the btumbouloff regime to the scrutiny
which would nrlso from a Joint deliberation
of the European powers on Minister Hlbot's
charge of violation of capitulations , whole
sale arrest and prolonged Imprisonment with
out trial and system of torture to compel
confession. Other illegal expulsions bcsidos
that of Chudouino accompany Premier
Stambouloff's diftpo'ic rule , so Lord Salis
bury's ' position is taken out of
courtesy. Stamboulnff
threatens to re
sign unless the unstinted support of
Knuland bo accorded to him. As his successor
In this event woihd H. Stollnff , who would
mloptu tiro-Husslan policy , the prospect may
compel Lord Salisbury lo change his position
in the matter.
M. Hlbot , the French minister of foreign
nffalrs , wishing to force an exposure of the
now Bulgarian iitroc ics , has brought M.
Chadoulno to Paris to coach him in regard
to thorn Vienna papers are trying
to ridicule Chaduolno as an ' "ox-
waiter" and cafe chantni.t t-lngor. Ho
really served t\ three years' term In
the French nimy and afterward became a
private secretary to Prince Alexander of
Bttttonburg , when the latter was prlnco of
Bulgaria. Ho followed the latter's fortunes
tor a long tlmo nfter his abdication , but sub-
Boquently returned to Soda as an unpaid
sccrotary of the French diplomatic ngoncv
there , nnd a correspondent of the Havas nenv's
agency. IP fact , ho know too much for

Indiana Minors Not Sure of Getting
Work Now the Trouble is Kndrel.
TnuitE HIUTK , Ind. , Dec. 2. ) . It Is not n
settled fact that tha Indiana miners , though
the strike has boon declared off , will bo able
to got regular work , but the probabilities
acorn to be that tboy will. Some delay maybe
bo occasioned on account of the operators
having to work their way back Into the
market , but it is boltovod that a majority of
the contracts have been hold by the mine
owners and that thorofoic the demand will
bo largo enough to give tno men prolty
steady employment.
'W tin tare the chances for the Indiana
operators being able to furnish tholr men
regular world" was asked of Mr. J. Smiru
Tulley yesterday.
"Thateiiiostion , " ho replied , "cannot bo
answered Just now. Wo do not knoxv , and
hnvo no vv.iy of llndlngout. . sooner than per
haps within the nuift eight .ir ten days. "
State President Comisky wns seen nt his
home and rcquosted to give his opinion of the
outlook. He was inclined to Judge that the
inun wouiu uu aoio to got worK.
"What has the strike accomplished ( " was
asked.
"In my opinion , " answered the president.
"It has not been barren of good results. I
think U has taught a double lesson to the
operators and to the men , uhlch will bear
fruit in limes to come. Hereafter wo shall
doubtless understand each other boltel1 for
this brief term In the sctiool of experience
and shall bring to our coming Joint conven
tion a mutual spirit of fairness and Justice ,
from which will proceed great common good.
When thn operators and mon como together ,
each side lairly disposed , each side deeply
concerned in an amicable nod an cqultablo
settlement , I cannot but beliuvo that their
object' fs easy of attainment. If
this strike has demonstrated to the
operators and the miners that their proper
course llos parallel and that their Interests
can bo conserved only by harmonious rela
tions being maintained if it nas done this ,
nnd I oollovo it has , the one ! moro than Justl-
lies the moans. "
ConsorviUivc estimates place the loss re
sulting from the strike at ? 1,7. > 0,000. Con
sidered in Its whole Dreadth and extent
something incalculable , with any degree of
dollnitonoss It was probably moro than
that. Nearly one-half of the enormous sum
comes out of the pockets of the men , or
rather stiould have been put in thorn.
A goodly portion of the rotnuinder shows
up In the greatly decreased earnings of the
railways , the principal loser among the latter
having been tno Chicago & Indianapolis road.
According to Mr. H. H. Porter's estimate ,
that line sustained a dully loss , as a result of
tbo suspension , of about $5,000 , or S13J,000
per month. The strike wns in effect fully
two months , which would Indicate that the
Chicago & Indianapolis suffered to the
extent of $ . ' 100,000. Beside the men nnd the
railways , general business , commercial and
industrial , was affected to a considerable extent -

The mantle of snow that hid the earth
yesterday , bringing joy to the hearts of the
rich and the young and sorrow to the nonets
of the poor , was but a shndo whiter than the
heads of the inmates of the Women's Chris
tian home who gathered around the tables
that groaned under tluir loads of Christmas
deluMcffs.
Tlni home , which is situated on Burt near
Twenty-sixth stieet , is 0110 of Omaha's moat
noble ctituitie ? . It Is supported bv contribu
tions , received principally from members of
tbo Christian eshurchos of the citv The In
stitution is a homo for aged women , and at
present time has thirteen inmates , the eldest
of whom is Mrs. Uettlo , a woman who
lias seen eighty-nine Christmas days
coino and go. The baby of
tbo place is Mrs. Whitney , wlio
can count buck and remember having seen
the s > news of fifty-four Christmas mornings.
The combined ages of the tnirtcon inmates ,
when added together , number 3IJ years.
Notwithstanding the fact that ooforo
another Christmas rolls around , the chuncos
are ( lint the grim messenger Death will
visit the Institution and claim several of the
members ns nis own , all was good cheer and
hanpiness yesterday
Dinner was served at 1 o'clock under the
dneclion of the matron , Mrs. A. M. Gordon ,
assisted by Miss Aggie Hobinson. It was a
iromiino feast , consisting of roast turkey ,
cooked to a delicata brown , served witn
oyster dressing ; corn , potatoes , picklns ,
plum puddin ? , calto , brnad , butter and rich
colTee. Witn thi ) exception of Mcsdames
Morris and Walker , nil of the old
l.idios vveto able to occupy their places
at the tables. Thcso two s.vent , white *
haired women weio sick , but tiioy were not
lorgotteu , A trav was loaded with tlio
choicest anil most tempting inoraoU and car
ried to thcL * rooms.
In tno dining room thn menu was dis
cussed , and it was a pleasure and a treat to
listen to the conversation , which was de
voted largely to reminiscences of Christmas
dinners that wore served diirmg the early
years of the present century. There was
plenty to catand to spjrn. The larder of the
homo is well Blocked , as the bushels of fruit ,
potatoes and other vegetables vestordnv
found their way to the institution. Every
thing was contributed by the good people of
the citv , and ibero nro now enough dainties
'on hand to lait several months ,
Christmas day was no more enjoyable than
Christmas eve' The llru in thogicat steve
cast n cheerful glow ooout the room. The
coal was piled higher while thu wind whis
tled around the street corners , when tlu ro
cnmo a knock at tno outer door. It was past
the hour for receiving u liters , but the matron
know that it meant the coming of some per
son to cheer the spirits of her rharges.
Without standing upon ceromoiiios , tl.u vis
itor opened the door. It was Miss
Ilattio Collier of the Kirst Presbyterian
church , but s.bo was not alone. She was no-
coinpanjoil ny a score or rnoao of little ones ,
the members of her Sunday school class.
They tilled the parlors , and in a short time
had presented each of tbo Inmates and em

was a eloliehtful entertainment , and one that

day for giving and receiving presents , but
the anniversni v of the coming of n savior of
