what It comes. I think I have always fol
lowed Dr. Laponnl' advice." .
"Not always, tour 'Holiness," replied Dr.
LarxJjnl, tfently. ... , ,
"Weil,'", retorted Pope Leo, "you could
not expect to remedy my old age."
The operation . was , decided .upon at an
early morning conference, the doctors de
siring te explore the affected parts.
' The-lmmedlate conduct or. the operation
developed on Dr. Mazzonl, who handled
the Instruments 'and made the preparatory
arrangements. ' ' '
First1 alight. Incision was made In the
side of the venerable .patient. A solution
Of alcohol 'and corrosive sublimate was
then 1 .injected and cocaine .waa -used to
deaden, .the '..pain.., The point of
operation was Just below the seventh rib
and the operation Itself consisted . in the
Insertion of a large pravas needle syringe.
This penetrated to to region where the
matter had accumulated, and by means of
suction slowly, drew, it orf. Under the
skillful guidance of Dr. Marionl the
operation ' scarcely , occupied over four
minutes. .
The pop manifested no pain whatever,
neither was there the slightest quiver of
moral dread for the operation. In the
language pf one of the doctors, the cocaine
so deadened the. parts 'that the pontiff felt
no more pain than a 'slight pin prick.
t Patient Feels Relief..
As soon as the liquid was drawn off by
the suction needle tbe patient felt - great
relief, owing to the removal of the pres
sure pf the liquid on the lung, and simul
taneously the doctors could hear 'air pass
ing through that (one which this morning
waa declared to be impervious owing to
congestion.
He immediately, showod an exhllerating
spirit. .. With, a. light emlls.on his pallid
face he whispered his thankfulness and
bestowed benedictions on the doctors bend
ing over him. T.he pontiff even stroked Dr.
Maiionl' face, in the ' benevolent way
which IS characteristic with Mm. Then
with one hand he rearranged his position,
closed his eyes,' and in a few minutes
passed into a calm, healthful sleep.
"The 'doctors remained by the pope's side,
noting the regularity of his breathing, and
pronounced the operation to have been In
every way successful and leaving no per
eeptlble adverse result"?. '.
Haljvet t -Afe Days'.
After th. operation Dr. Maxzonl said
the danger . remained imminent, but
the Illness "from which the pope was suffer
ing .was ifull of surprises, -.Hs Holiness
might eye, live, three-days. IqiUBer. . ., . . .
The .XoUowlig bull tin- was issued at 3
p. m.:
The test! jrunrjture'of the pleura has been
made .and ,8(10 grama pf , liquid have been
taken off. A rapid examination showed
that some mucuoue was rattling in the
lung, which' was erlg1itlly affected.
The Vope' -underwent 'the operation" with
courage. His general conaiuon is now
better and, he 1. resting. ; UAPONNI.
.Later Dr.'Ma-ssonl,' assisted by Dr. L-ponnl'a-'soh,
who Is also a doctor analyzed
the liquid extracted from the pope's pleura.
The color. Is orange red and it is composed
of blood with coagulated fibrin without pus.
ji What 1 feared is ' reproduction of serum
In tne pleura. In which" caso the operation
must be repeated 1ft, about-two days.
At 8;S0 the following official bulletin was
Issued:

Trains Crash on Southern Owing to Engi
neer's Fatal lliitake.
SIX SCORE PASSENGERS IN A PANIC
Coach Crowded with Colored People
Telescopes with Force of Colli
sion, While Eaglaes Are '
Demolished.
WASHINGTON, July 7. Twenty-four
persons were killed and nine injured in a
head-on collision on the Virginia Midland
division of the Southern railway at Rock
fish, Va., this afternoon. The passenger
tmln which left Washington at 11:16 this
morning for Atlanta dashed Into a local
freight which was standing on th main
line, wrecking both engines and th bag
gag and express cars of the pasfeenger
train. Th baggage car and th second
class passenger coach immediately follow
ing it telescoped. Th coach was' mostly
occupied by colored people.
Among th killed:
ENGINEER DAVIS of the passenger
train.
ENGINEER M'CORMICK, who was rid
ing a a passenger on the freight,
A COLORED FIREMAN on the freight
The freight train was on the return trip
from Lynchburg to Charlottesville. Rock
flub station is midway between these two
points and the track there is a single one.
Engineer Hale had orders to get oiit of the
way of the fast passenger train, but for
some reason not yet explained he had over
stayed his time and failed to take a siding
so that the passenger train could pass.
Th trains cam together with a horrible
crash and a fearful panlo ensued when th
occupant of the cars realized what had
occurred.
The passenger train waa mad up of an
express car, a baggage car. two day
coaches and two Pullman cars. Th two
Pullmans formed an' early morning New
York connection at Washington for At
lanta' and the south. The train arriving
het at 10:t2 a. m. from Boston also con
nected with this train.-On of th' pas
senger cars of the train waa a second-class
day coach and the other a vestibuled car.
It is estimated there were probably U0
passengers on th train. Including those
from Boston and Intermediate points.
GOTTI SEES . SICK PONTIFF
Possible Sneeessor Has Private Inter
view, gapposedlr on Ecclesi
astical Matters.
ROME, July a 1:26 a. m. Much slgnlfl
cance Is attached to. an extended Visit mad
by Cardinal Qotti, prefect of th propa
ganda, to th sick room, from which other
conspicuous members of the sacred col
lege are excluded by the doctor's orders.
Cardinal Gottl'a Interview lasted twenty
minutes, even the doctors and attendants
withdrawing and leaving him alone with
the pop.
This has naturally opened a wide held of
speculation. It is even, asserted that Pope
Leo expressed the hope. that in the event
of succession falling on 'Cardinal Gottl he
might have the strength to. tak up and
carry forward th great work thus con
fided to him. Just what passed between
them only they know, but the circum
stances and lengths of, tbe visit strongly
support th view that th pope waa giv
ing his attention to th administration of
th church when he himself had passed
away. ;n n s

Deadlocked on Selection of AniiUnta to
Atton-j on Tax Cased
NEW OFICE CREATED, OLD ONES FILLED
Gas Company la instructed to Re
move All Lamp oa Cornero
Where There Are Rlec
trie Lights.
Th meeting of the city council last night
was a busy one. The more Important
things which It did and tried to do and
failed are as follows:
Introduced ordlnunce creating the office
of Inspector of explosives and combusti
bles at $1,200 a year and providing rules and
regulations that he is to enforce.
Passed concurrent resolution placing the
repairing of North Sixteenth street from
Dodge to Cuming in the hands of Con
tractor E. D. Van Ce rt, work to be done
within ninety-six hours and to cost not ex
ceeding 1300.
Failed to agree upon additional legal as
sistance in railway tax cases at prolonged
n formal session.
Introduced ordinances re-creating offices
f city claim agent and city legal examiner,
fixing the salary of each at $1,200 per an
num. Passed resolution directing that the gas
company remove all . lamps on corner
lighted by electricity.
Directed city treasurer to comtlnua th
collection of personal taxes from persons
who have become non-residents, as has
been don the past two years.
Decided that city finances are too low
to permit of the establishment of a chem
ical and bacteriological laboratory during
the present year.
Referred the bill of the Omaha water
company, amounting o ,uiu, iur wo
hydrant rental for first six months of 1903
to city attorney for advice.
Confirmed the appointment of Charles .
Morgan and the reappointment of Victor
Rosewater and Alfred C. Kennedy as mem
bers of the library board, a submitted by
Mayor Moores.
Place for Two Lawyers.
Members of the city council, with Dyball
absent, etruggled for more than an hour
last night over the personnel of the legal
assistance to be given City Attorney
Wright in the railway tax caBei and failed
to reach a definite conclusion. The matter
was left, if anything, in a more tangled
and unsatisfactory condition than it was
before.
Th ol point tentatively settled was
whether on or two lawyers snouiu oe
employed and by a vote of 6 to J it waa
areed to allow the Real usiaie exonanse
to name one man and the council the
other. President Zimman and Councilman
O'Brien opposed this action, endeavoring
to support City Attorney Wright in his
ontention that one lawyer is enougn anu
would give boKer service than two.
Just before the council aajournea irom
regular meeting President Zimman stated
that City Attorney Wright had Informed
him that the railways are pressing tne tax
litiftrottmi and that It would be for the
best Interests of the city to have the ques
tion of legal assistance decided as soon as
possible. Th council baa sustained, th
to of Mayor Moore to in resolution em
ploying Jointly F. A. Brogan and H. H.
Baldrtge. which wm due to Mr. Brogan'
declination to eerv. Therefor after ad
journment th councllmen met In Informal
Session . wRh Attorney Wright and W. O.
Ure present-' Th matter Krai talked over
at length. ,, . , .
MV. Wright stated that .he Intended to
retain the management of the case whether
he handled it alone or ' with assistance,
which he asserted it would be almost ne
cessary for him to, have. He said that
one additional attorney would glv better
results than two end the expense would be
lessened. Inasmuch as the costs, Incurred
In traveling over the atate and possibly to
New York to take depositions would be les
sened.
Upon the authority of Councilman
O'Brien It was given out that Mr. Brogan
withdrew because another man had been
named to act with him. It was pointed out.
however, that Brogan" was the choice of
the Real Estate exchange and Attorney
Wright. Mr. Baldrlge's serious illness with
ppendlcltls would prevent his immediate
service ae is necessary, It was stated.
Nevertheless Counciimen Hoye and Back
insisted ' that he should be one of the at
torneys engaged and a vote showed the
majority to be In favor of dual employ
ment.
Reaches. a Deadlock.
Later, however, Councilman Schroe-
der proposed '. that the selection be
loft to Attorney Wright, ha to
choose on or two men as he
aw fit and submit the names to the
council. By this time Councilman Nlchol
son hsd left and as Councllmen Hoye, Back
and Evans voted against the proposition
the necessary five votes to maintain the
proposal could not be secured and the pro
ject was dropped. J. P. breen ha at least
on 6r two champions among th council.
H Is th remaining one of the three law
vers first proposed by the Real Estate ex
change.
Previous arrangements to repair the
holes In the North. Sixteenth street nuptial
turn by the publio works department was
rescinded by the council last night by the
passage of a resolution by Nicholson. It
directed Contractor E. D.. Van Court to
make the repairs with broken stone and
gravel. It being stipulated that the work
must be completed within ntnety-slx hours
after the order is given. Compensation la
to be fixed by three members of the onuncil
who shall Inspect the work by driving over
It three times a week for two weeks and
shall not exceed $300. The Board of Publio
Works is to have charge of the repairing.
Councllmen Schroeder and Evans voted
against the proposition.
Councilman Hoye Introduced the com
bustibles ordinance which is practically the
same, as ttyat vetoed by Mayor Moores
during his last term. Its title reads: "An
ordinance for the prevention of fires, es
tabllshtng rules and regulations concern
Ing the manufacture, sale, storage and
transportation of explosives and onmbustl
bis materials; providing for an Inspector
of explosives and oombuitlbles, and pre
scribing his duties." The compensation of
the inspector, to be appointed by the mayor
and confirmed by the council. Is to be II.IO
a year, with duties consisting mainly of
examinations .and the Issuance of permit
made necessary under the ordinance, wbjtch
waa read the first and second times by
till and referred.
I'nanlntou on One Point.
This resolution. Introduced by Zimman,
found no dissenting votes: "That the gas
company is hereby directed to dlsoontlnu
all ga lamps on street oorners or Intersec
tions on which aro lamps ere sunponded,
and that the gas Inspector is hereby di
rected to enforce th foregoing resolution."
It Is said that about seventy-five gas lamps
will be affected.
Th ordinance re-creating tlie recintly
abolished offices of city abstracter and city
claim agent were Introduced by Council
man' Zimman and provoked no comment
They provide for appointment of the In
cumbents by ths mayor and confirmation
by the council.
The fence maintained by the t'nlun Pa
cific across Ninth street near Its passenger
staUwa ha causad a protest fnua about
twenty-five business firm In th vicinity,
who say that four block of th thorough
far Is pre-empted and great Inconvenience
caused them by the fence. Which cut It
a direct rout to the station and compels
a long detour. This has resulted In travel
ing men losing trains, failure of express
and mall to get away promptly and detri
ment to business. It I alleged. The coun
cil will consider th matter In general com
mute meeting.
Appointments Confirmed.
The confirmation by the council of George
L. Dennis, Patrick Fcrd and H. P. Drexel
a newor Inspectors, William Mack pav
ing foreman and thirty-five laborers and
teamsters ae appointments to the list of
public works department eligible provoked
remark from Councilman O'Brien about
"hot air." He said the men were being
put on without any expectation of ever
using them and he did not think the pro
ceeding in good faith.
In the library board appointments Victor
Rosewater and Alfred C. Kennedy succeed
themselves, while Charle E. Morgan 1
named, vice W.fA. Hansen, whos term
ha expired.
The resignation of Gas Inspector John C.
Lynch c a m'emser of the board for the
examination of plumbers was received and
the nomination of Daniel C. Clifton fty the
mayor to succeed him. was confirmed.
At the behest of Councilman Schroeder

street from Dodge to Cass, on Cuming

Twenty-fourth from Caldwell M Bewnrd,
until these parts of thorousrhfares are

Dr. Miller In Introducing t-resiaeni uarry
. Wlllard spoke feelingly of his warm
affection for his rather and mother, and
of having known him and called him "his
boy" from the time he was born. He paid
a high tribute to both parents and son,
and voiced his pride at the opportunity to
now introduce him as president of tbe Na
tional Editorial association.
President Wlllard Responds.
President Wlllard referred to the warmth
of the reception which the delegates had
received on their arrival In the city, a
warmth which had In fact been felt t.11
day long. He said In part;
Permit me on behalf of the National Edl
ruin I ussnnlatlon tn eratefullv and uln
cerely acknowledge ths eloquent and cor
dial greeting that has been extended. Cold,
indeed, would be the heart that could not
respond to the cheery, gladsome welcome
that has greeted us on this occasion, when
we meet as strangers and will part as
friends. At Hot Springs, Ark., scarcely
more than a year ago, your committee In
vited us to this city of promise and per
fection; told us of the royal welcome which
we would receive and pamted In glowing
colors the attractions of Mils peerless por
tion of the western plains. Our highest
anticipations have been realized, fur we
have met you fac to face, the city gates
have opened wide ana tne proveroiai weai
nm hosriltalltv has been accorded us.
For years my affections have reached out
to this central city of our common coun
try. Here has labored and lived one whose
name is a household word In my home
county of Oneida; one who has worshiped
at the shrine of that great statesman of
his 'age, Horatio Seymour; one whose gen
eroxlty and beneficence caused him to jre
sent a statue of Vila adored leader to the
Oneida Historical society, that hi great
service to his country might ne perpetu
ated. Here his works are known and I
embrace this occasion to pay a lovlnir trl
bute of esteem and respect to the philoso
pher and philanthropist, the founder of tlu
Omaha Herald, during those dark days In
the nation s history that tried men s souls
the riresldlnK officer of the evening. Dr,
George L. Miller. His early education was
received from my father s teachings, and I
believe he has been u credit to your city
and to his native .town.

Itenraskn Editor's WefVome.
Ross Hammond, editor of the Fremont
Tribune, spoke for the Nebraska Press as
sociation and In doing so told of th history
and growth, th resources and glory of
Nebraska. A single county In It, he re
marked, could contain both Connecticut
and Delaware, and was five times as big
a Rhode Island, while If Massachusetts
were placed In the center of the atate
enough could be clipped off around th
edges to cover the states of New Jersey,
Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut snd
Vermont, and even then enough salvage
would be found for a Kentucky cemetery
But it was not simply In slxe. he said, that
Nebraska Is notable. It Is notable for the
quality of It cltlxenshlp and the cos
mopolitan character of It; for being the
state with the smallest percentage of Illit
eracy of any state or territory In the
Union; for having outgrown pioneer pov
erty and the grasshopper to the extent
of having on deposit In the banks of the
state $80 for every man, woman and child
In It. $400 for every family of five: for pro
moting Its presidential candidates to the
editorial tripod; for having one paper with
700,000, another with 150,000 and another
with 100,000 circulation, and another, which
modesty forbid his mentioning, the circula
tion of which he would not give; for having
In Its capital city the fifth city in the vol
ume of second class mall matter, and for
various other things. In concluding he
said:
Nebraska, the Tree Plunt fftra' ttntA lh
home of Arbor day, whose trees and foliage
now nna Dena in saiut,ng you, the repre
sentatives of the states nf the nslmettn
of the south, the eucalyptus and rhodo
dendron of the far west, the stately pine
and spruce, and the hemlock of the north,
and the mint snd sturdy oak and chest
nuts or the east.
This is the home of the Nebraska State
Press association. We nre proud of It and
proud of our stnte. And the editors of
Nenrnska clasp hands with th editors of
the I'nited States, and extend greetings
and felicitations.
Mrs. tl. F. Stanpl of Itocknort. Mo., n
popular member of the association and one
who has added to the pleasure of previous
conventions, sang "Calm Was the Night"
and gracefully responded to an enthusiastic
encore.
Revolution of One Life Time.
Edward Rosewater, editor of The Bee,
was Introduced as one of those to whom
Dr. Miller had previously referred as com
ing to the alleged desert In early manhood
and having for forty years been a creative
force in it. The lamentable failure of
Mayor Moores with the Weather bureau,
Mr. Rosewater snid. had caused him to
place In cold storage the address he was
expected to deliver, and Instead he would
talk briefly, and In a manner better suited
and more soothing under existing condi
tions. If he could pass in panoramic re
view his career in the Journalistic field, he
was sure his talk would be breexy enough
to suit the weather, and It would certainly
be as entertaining a spectacle ae could
possibly be furnished the delegates, but he
could not go over the battlefield. In which
so many fights had been won ana? lost.
To Dr. Miller, as the veteran editor and a
vital force In the Journalistic field of Ne
braska when he came to this state forty
years ago, Mr. Rosewater paid a graceful
tribute, saying that his first Inspiration to
enter the newspaper field had come through
desire to see established a republican
paper which-could compete With the Her
ald. H did not then intend to himself
become an editor, and had written Horace
Greeley and Sam Bowie ' to recommend
some editor to htm, and even Invited the
latter to come to Omaha and start a paper.
As Illustrating the change sine those
day Mr. Rosewater recalled that when he
came her as manager of the Pactfio Tele
graph company he had presented monthly
bill of $80 to the two paper then here for
the Associated Press service' and the papers
complained and wanted the bills out down,
a they were burdensome. Now, and for
year past, the papers have been paying
$300 per week for the Associated Press serv
ice. Fifty-one years ago, when Horace
Greeley was befor Parliament, he said the
New York Tribune had a press capacity of
10,000 copies per hour and the Sun, which
was so cheap that it depended on It ad
vertising for its support, had a press capa
city of 18,000 per hour. Today th Omaha
dally papers have three time a great
press capacity as all th New York papers
of fifty year ago. In numbers th paper
of the country had Increased In the same
period from 2,500 to 26. COO, but even this
growth did not rightly signify the growth In
Influence of the press. The change from a
strictly partisan press to an Independent
press, with papers free to discuss without
bias alt public questions, which did not
hesitate to criticise men of their own party
and which did not fear any party, wai th
greatest change of all independence- In
Journalism had been the greatest blessing
to the profession and the country and had
given the press Its present great power.
But there had been a great work done In
the west along all material lines In ths
last thirty years, for the war had drawn
men from the west and sent none to It
and only after It was over did Nebraska
begin to grow. It was a growth which only
those who had witnessed it could realise.
The Omaha press and newspaper men ex
tended a hearty greeting, Mr. Rosewater
concluded, to the members of the associa
tion; they were invited to call at all the
newspaper offices and satisfy themselves of
the progress they had made and of what
they were capable of doing, and In all the
offices they would be wolcomed.
Mr. Cheney, with Miss Maud Peterson as
accompanist, sang "The Drum Major," and
responded to the hearty applause accorded
It.
Tribute to Power of Press.
Hon. John L. Webster spoke as a l?y-
man and citizen, ai.d In aolng so paid an
eloquent tribute to the power of the press.
It was a power, he s.ild, which he had
felt, r.nd expected to feel again; it waa a
piwer generally for good but sometimes for
evil, but alnays It was an all pervading
power. If united the press of the country
would wield a power which nothing in it
could withstand. If Turkey had a free
press there would he no more masencres.
or else there would be no sultan; if Russia
had a free press there would be no massa
cres of Jews and no 8lbfcrla. But even
without a frtfe press In thof.e and other
countries the days of emptors nnd esars
Is parsing away through the work of the
free press of the I nlte-1 Statc-s. which Is
changing the civilisation of the world. Mr,
Webster spoke of the lnbor-capltnl problem
which the press of the country must solve.
and asked If the tlm has not come for
th press to lead the people of the country
to higher things than the now all domi
nating race for dollars.
Tale of Downward Coarse.
O. M. Hitchcock, referring to his Intro
duction by Dr. Miller, said he had been
educated to be a lawyer, but In the natu
ral course of degeneracy had become an
editor, later he had still further degan
ated and become a business manager, and
was no longer an editor, and now, going
still further on the downward road, he
had become a congressman. H had been
advised to be brief and would follow the
advloe. Mr. Hitchcock then sketched rapidly
the editorial and busines department of a
modern newspaper la answering the u-
I
ion. "Who Is It thatMake th Newapaperr
It I hot the great editor, a In day gon
by, nor yet th reporter, to whom h paid
a glowing tribute, nor th ?lty editor, or

of these are viewed elngly It seems an an

th true answer I that th on man news

and which represent the cltlc In which
