FIND SKELETONS PILED HIGH Mexican Miners Msrnt en Three Ban. dred Dead Women In De serted Menaetery. KANSAS CITT, July 7.-Dr. T. B. Mehun, who was a member of the Wellman Arctic expedition to the north In 18M. arrived ln Kansas City today enroute to Washington from Old Mexico, where he has been con nected with a mining company. Dr. Mohun reports the discovery of be tween 300 and 400 female skeletons In a deserted monastery nfty miles west of Nacoxari, In the mountains of northern Mexico. The skeletons were found by miners in search of treasure. He displays several photographs of the monastery, which show in vivid detail the pile of hu r.ian bones. "News of the discovery," aald Dr. Mohun today, "has not reached the outside world. The skeletons might have been there 1,000 years or the women might have been killed by the last great earthquake that visited that region, in 18K. I bold to the theory that the country there was first settled by the Chinese and that perhaps these women were Chinese. The skeletons are small ln size and apparently no attempt had been made to hide them, though they were partly covered with sand and debris."

The new depository law, enscted in Lin coln this year, has created a considerable demand for depository bonds. In regard to this Henry R. Gould said: "I have to day sent ln four applications for deposi tory bonds, aggregating 8T7.0OO. and during the month I have figured the total for thirty duys as 8335,000. There would not have been an application for 1 cent be fore the riassage of this statute. The de pository law provides that no officer, di rector jor stockholder of a bank shall sign a bond, but this must be done by bonding companies. I consider the law a One thing. During the hard times of several years ago a number of banks failed, and ln ao doing carried down with them a large amount of city, school and state money. The greater part of this has never been re covered." Movements of Ocean Vessels July 7.

The doctors consider he has had a rather peaceful night. ur. Luponnl is Bleeping. (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) ROM E, July K 8:15 a. r.l. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The pope's marvellous vitality has surprised his doctors Into careful optimism, Itr. Man sonl saying last night that there la even a possibility now that he may recover. Karly In the morning it was decided that an operation to relieve the pressure of foreign liquor on the lung was desirable. This operation was later performed suc cessfully and the patient dropped Into an easy, healthful sleep. lie cwoke about 1 a. tn., took some nourishment and again fell asleep. At this hour he Is resting, though not so easily as might be desired. Massonl Renews Hope. Dr. Maxzont's hopeful opinion was given to those who questioned him concerning the success of the operation. He said: When one considers that the pope should be dead by this lime, the vjnexoccted may happen and there is Htill hope, ilia restyl ing so long and inuliitninlng perfect lucidity of mind means that notwithstanding tho pneumonia the uffectlon of the kidneys and the difficulty ot breathing, there Is no biood poisoning. Petween being at the point t.f death and returning to wnat His HoIIiipkh Im tonight there Is certainly s.lch a difference as to permit the most optimUlio views. To properlv understand the change which has taken place It must be considered that yes terday the conviction was ho sure that he would die before the night, notwithstanding the contrary pinion of Dr. l.jnmni. uui those surrounding the pope Insisted on, having the extreme unction administered Evil tongues even Insinuate fhut lotna members of Pope leo's immediate eirolo counted on the bad effects thtit the function was likely to produce on a weakened or- fanism, but the pope resisted splendidly, ndeed. he seems to have acquired fresh strength. . I don't dare to sav anything positive. It a iv to be deceived, esnec.lallv III the presence of such marvelous resistance. I do not believe this will occur yet. In another Interview Dr. Massnnl spoke enthusiastically about the pope's extra ordinary powers of leslstanoe, expressing a hope of recovery after tho successful op eration today, but "aid this condition is always extremely danjerous nnd the catas- trophe may happen suddenly. Dr. Baccelll, tho spcclnllHt In lung dis eases, thinks the pope has live chances In a hundred. Two Cardinals Disagree. Cardinal Oreglla, who will direct the conclave as chamberlain Of ths church, had a serious disagreement today with Cardinal Rampolla, owing to the letter's refusal to arrange a special apartment for him ln the Vatican. Cardinal Rampolla feared the workmen would disturb the sick pope. The iiuuiiel IS considered destructive to Cardinal Rampolla s candidature for pope. He had a long talk with Cardinal Gnttl tonight. j Early yesterday morning the pope was Informed that an operation would perhaps be necessary. His Holiness began to in quire about it. Turning to Dr. Laponni with his usual familiarity he asVed: "Will it be painful? Remember, I cannot stand muoh pain." Instead of Dr. Laponni, Dr. Massonl an swered: "I can assure Your Holiness that you will feel no pain. A little coooatne will deaden all sense." Pope Leo retorted at once: "Remember, you ssld the same thing when you ex tracted that cyst a few years ago." - Dr. Maxzonl replied: "That operation went well, but this can hardly ba called an operation." "Then do whatever you think best," con cluded the pope. When the operation took place nobody was allowed ln the room beside the doctors except Pope Leo's valet, Plo Centra. Pope Rallies His Doctors. The doctors, desiring a strong light, had the window widely pend, but the light troubled the pontiffs eyes. He tried to get out ot bed to escape it, but Dr. Massoni did not give him time, but taking him in his arras, literally turned the pontiff about. Pope Leo smilod and exclaimed: "Bravo. professor. I congratulate you. Although I have become so light I must still be rather heavy." Both the doctors laughed and were at tha same time astonished at tha brightness ot the pontiff when oppressed by such a dan gerous illness and on the point of under going a surgical operation. Pope Leo remained sitting up ln bed dur ing the operation wJUiout need of support. When Dr. Maxzonl substituted the pravas needle with a potain aspirator the pope did not even notice it, going through tha whole affair without emitting the slightest comment and without showing any feeling of pain. He was extremely pale, almost diaphanous, and somewhat tremulous. As soon as the operation waa closed His Holi ness felt much relieved. His eye, from an expression of languid melancholy, assumed Its usual vivacity. Dr. Massonl at once administered a cordial wbloh the pontiff took willingly, thanking him with a grate ful look for the brave struggle to preserve his life. lie afterwards expressed a desire to see the liquid which had been extraoted from his thorax. Both doctors assured him that his wish would be gratified later. The pon tiff then ssked for minute explanations of ths apparatus used In the operation. "It Is a most Ingenious Instrument," he said "but your hand is also so clever. That Is why the operation did not give me any pain. I thank you." After half an hour's sleep the pope woke and inquired sbout ths doctors. Hearing they were preparing a bulletin as to his condition he asked to tt It. He then went on to speak about the cause of his Illness. -I would like to know," hs satd "from v
