et Matter.
PARIS, July 20. Count Casslnl, Russian
ambassador at YVasnlngton. today denied
in a formal interview, that he had con
sented, on behalf of his government, to
the opening of any Manchunan puns.
'It Is not coireot-aa cabled," ' he said,
"that I arranged with Secretary Hay be
fore my departure, the uuestion ot open
porta In Manchuria. It Is true that Mr.
Hay vailed on me on June 28, but it wad
a friendly visit und entirely unottlclal. Tho
Manchurlan ports were mentioned during
our conversation, but no definite arrange
ment was completed. The conversation
was quite cordial and friendly, but It did
not go beyond that.
"I expect, however, that a mutually sat
isfactory understanding regarding Man
churlan questions will eventually be
reached between the two governments.
But I repeat no such arrangement has
been rwde by me. What has been dons
by the charge since my departure, four
teen days ago, I do not know.
"Regarding the Israelite petition, the
United States government already knew
that such a petition would not be received.
No such petition would be received by any
Independent state. The United States,
above all, would not consent to any for
eign interference in its domestic affairs.
Beyond this, I do not know anything about
the matter.
f"My relations with the United States
have always been pleasant during my stay
, at Washington. My present absence Is
due to the fact that I am taking a much
needed holiday. I did not see the presi
dent before my departure, ss he was ab
sent from Washington. I nw Mr. Hay but
our interview was not official.
"I expect to return to my post as soon
as my leave expires, which will be In three
months."
Count Casslnl will remain here ten days
longer and then go to St. Petersburg.
Scent Possible Mlsunderotnndlnar.
WASHINGTON, July 20. In conversation
at the Russian embassy on the afternoow
, .,.ol J.iin 28. with the Associated Press rep
resentative, Count Casslnl referred to Sec
retary Hay's call on the day previous and
expressed his gratification at his results.
The ambassador. In reply to the question
as to whether Manchvria was under discus
sion during the call, replied In the affirma
tive, saying he had assured Mr. Hay Rus
sia would follow to the letter Its pledges re
garding Manchuria and at the proper time
would concede certain ports.
The ambassador then recalled the con
versation betwqen himself and the secre
tary, pointing out that while no agreement
had been reached as to which ports should
be Opened, the understanding was that Rus
sia should give the United States what it
had asked for. To this it was said Mr.
Hay expressed his satisfaction, and as he
was leaving Count Casslnl said he hoped
an announcement of the exact porta which
would be open would be possible In a few
weeks.
It Is bettered here that the point the am-
bassador Is endeavoring to make Is that 'he
V general understanding reached between
himself and Secretary Hay at the confer
ence on June 29 did not specify the ports
to be opened, which at that time had not
been decided upon. '
Moreover, when the ambassador says no
definite agreement had been reached. It Is
assumed he refers to the fact that no
written exchange was passed between Sec
retary Hay and himself t that time.

THINKS BROWN A SUICIDE
Doctor Believes Late Pittsburg, Re

Trlonnl.
PITTSBURG, July 20. When the Re
corder Brown Inquest was resumed today,
J. R. P. Brown's attorneys questioned wit
nesses for the coroner.
The first witness, Miss Nettle McLean,
at whose home the recorder died, was ex
amined by Colonel Campbell. She said the
recorder returned home on Friday before
his death in a nervous condition. Dr. Mo
Kelvey prescribed one-sixtieth of a grain
of strychnine, which was administered by
Miss Cusan McLean as ordered. She de
nted that she had received from the re
corder property worth $5C0,W0. She received
no property which she did not pay for. Her
salary from Mr. Brown amounted to about
11,700 a year.
On the advice ot counsel she refused to
say what her Income from other sources
was and would not repeat what the late
recorder told her concerning his wife. ,

question: . .
"Did Mr. Brown commit sulcldeT" and
replied: "I am rather suspicious that, he
did. If he committed suicide he did It with

caused his death it was trionul."
In answer to other questions. Dr. Mc
Kelvey said within twenty minutes after
Mr. Brown's death the three doctors, Ever
son, Burleigh and himself, told Coroner
McGeury all the circumstances of the cafe.
"We told him all about the case, and he
said: 'Poor Uncle Joe. He has troubles
enough. If there Is no foul play, let
it go.'"
"If cyanide of potash was used It was a
crime?"
"Yes, sir, hut the three doctors only had
a suspicion. We had no positive knowledge
and for that reason we consulted the cor

CANNON AND SHAW CONFER
Agreement Between Party Leaden Bfing
Beached on Financial Legislation.
NEITHER WILL TALK OF INTERVIEW
Commissioner Jones Pursuing Hla
Policy of Displacing Indian
Agents with Bonded
Sapcrlntendents.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. July 20 (Special Tele
gram.) Representative J. G. Cannon of Ill
inois, who will be the next speaker of the
house, had a conference with Secretary
Shaw today about matters affecting his
district, but this by no meuns was the ex
tent of the conference, which continued
over quite a length of time. Financial leg
(station was talked about and representa
tives of different branches of the govern
ment took occasion to exchange views as
to what the next congress should do toward
correcting evils existing In the present
financial laws. Cannon was suave and
diplomatic when he emerged from the con
ference with Secretary Shaw, Secretary
Shaw was equally politic when asked about
the conference. Both agreeod that financial
matters were talked aliout, but In view of
a suggestion from Oyster Bay that nothing
should be said before the program had been
outlined, both the secretary and Represen
tative Cannon were dumb as oysters.
Mr. Cannon has been represented in news
paper columns as opposed to financial leg
islation such as proposed by Senator Al
drlch and other legislators and which came
near going through the last congress. It
may be stated on thoroughly competent
authority, however, that Mr. Cannon has,
no idea of attempting the role of obstruc
tionist as to financial legislation in the
extra and regular sessions of congress, and
that he will do nothing that will prevent
the enactment of such legislation as to
finances as Is desired by the majority of
the republican leaders. Mr. Cannon and
those who think as he does direct atten
tion to the fact that money conditions are
now sound and the depression in Wall
street has no connection with the supply
of money in circulation throughout the
country. The movements of bulls and bears
In Wall street are not at this time based
upon the plentlfulnesn or shortage of money
In trade channels.
Increased Bank Circulation.
Attention Is also called to the fact that
since the refunding operations began at
the Treasury department the last of March
the national banks have greatly Increased
their circulation. They have not only done
so, but they have been able to secure 2
per cent bonds at a lower figure than for
years, so that they havo in their possession
the basis for a further Increase of circula
tion this fall and winter, when trade con
ditions indicate that more money will be
needed to meet the pressure ot business.
Mr. Cannon will go to New York tomor
row and it is surmised, when he reaches
that city, he will be asked Into conference
by -a. number; of financial lights, who will
endeavor to. show "Uncle Joe" Just where
the next speaker should stand regarding
financial UgUlation. Oyster Bay will be
visited by 8pcaker-to-be Cannon, "Just to
see how the president lives," and then he
will seek some quiet resort nigh unto Bos
ton, where It will be easy for Senator Al
drlch and the next speaker to hold almost
dally conferences until the program Is
fcrmulated regarding the financial prob
lem. Water for Indian Schools.
Supervisor Pritigle. who was recently
sent to Inspect the Indian rchools at Genoa
and Santee relative to their water supply.
has mado a report to the commissioner
of Indian affairs, relative to the former.
The last congress appropriated $6,000 to
provide an Independent water supply for
the Indian school at Genoa, the present
supply being drawn from the clty"a mains.
Supervisor Prlnglo lecommends that new
wells be dug upon the reservation which,
with a system of reservoirs, would give
the school all the water necessary. Com
missioner Jones, not being exactly clear
as to Mr. Prlngle's recommendation, will
do nothing until he has a personal Inter
view with the supervisor, who Is due In
Washington next week.
J. Thomas Hall, superintendent of the
Indian school at Standing Rock, S. D., and
Miss Jennie Walbrldge, matron of the
Indian school at Pierre. S. D., are In
Washington. Mr. Hall and Miss Wal
brldge have been In Boston attending the
Boston Institute and have stopped for a
day In Washington to consult with the
Indian commissioner and other officials
relative to matters pertaining to the
schools over which they have supervision.
Indian Tenehers Transferred.
The Indian office today announced the
annual transfers of supervisors of Indian
schools. These supervisors are changed
from one district to another once a year.
A. O. Wright, who has been in charge of
Indian schools In Nebraska and South Da
kota, known as the Third district. Is
transferred to the Fifth district, which
comprises North Dakota, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan and Iowa. J. F. House
goes from the Fifth to the Third district,
taking the place of A. O. Wright E. L.
Chalcraft is transferred from the Fourth
district, embracing Wyoming, Montana,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon, to tho
First district, succeeding Charles H. Dick
son, who has had control of affairs in
Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas and
Oklahoma. M. F. Holland, who has been
in charge of affairs In California, southern
Oregon and Arisona, goes to the Fourth
district to succeed Chalcraft.
J. F. Pelhybrldgo of Clinton, la., Is In
Washington. Mr. Pelhybrldge called upon
Secretary Shaw and others about the
treasury from Iowa and generally looked
over the building where Untie Sam keeps
soma of his cosh.
Pntcnta for Railroad Lands.
Acting Secretary Ryan of the Interior
department, directed today that a patent
be Issued to selections of Joint Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific Ijtnd company,
to lands in the Lincoln land district,
amounting to eighty acres. These lands
are located In what Is called the primary
limits of the original grant of the Union
Pacific railroad.
Opposed to Indian Agents.
W. A. Jones, commissioner of Indian af
fairs, will in his forthcoming report to the
secretary of the Interior for transmission
to congress renew with vigor his recom
mendation that more Indian agencies to
abolished. Commissioner Jones says em
phatically that the most serious obstacle
la the path of Indian civilisation Is the
practice of appointing Indian agents for
political services. He states that the
persons thus appointed because of their
political activity undoubtedly gives them

to get work In the harvest fields.
"We have been unfortunate in getting
here too late," an id one of the young men
before he left tonight for Nebraska, "but
we will try to make the best of a bad sit

and 'bummed' my way to Kansas to get
work In the harvest fields. I reckon I was
foolish, but I nm going to try to get some
thing to do while I am out In this country."
The state agents are worried over the
number of men who are arriving every day
and for whom there Is no work. Th"-y have
telegraphed the eastern employment agen

but the men continue to come by hundreds.
When told that there Is no work I he men

HISTORY OF LAST ILLNESS.
While driving ln the Vatican jmrdens on Juns SO the) pope
caught a cold, but refused medical nttendance. Tbe next day
he wnn better, but on the night of Thursday, July 2, Dr. I.a
IHintil wus sufficiently alarmed to spend the night with hliu.
On Friday, July a, lie was found to be suffering from pul
monary inflammation ln the rlht of the thorax, between the In
ferior and middle lobca. Dr. LHponnl Informed Cardinal ltani
pollu and began treatment on Saturday. During the day tbe
Inflammation spread.
On Sunday Dr. Mazzonl waa called ln and confirmed Dr. La
ponnl's diagnosis, viz., an inflammatory process ln the luug which
was defined In the medical -bulletin ns pulmonary hepatization.
Ills breathing grew more nod more labored and all this duy
his death was momentarily expected. The last rites were admin
istered and he was Informed of his approaching end.
On Monday he kept his attendants on tenter hooks. At one
niomeut relapsing, at another rallying, with extraordinary vi
tality. The extreme unction was administered on this day.
On Tuesday an operation was performed to relieve the pres
sure on the right lung and 800 grams of liquid matter were
drawn off. 80 successful was this that tbe doctors began to en
tertaln hopes that after ail he might ultimately recover.
On Wednesday, however, he sank, rapidly, old age having
conquered his virile constitution.
On Thursday he was still worse and Dr. Kossonl was called ln
consultation.- On Friday a. second operation relieved him materi
ally and by Saturday he had rallied and until Monday morning it
was hoped death was yet far distant. On this day he suffered
another relapse and gradually declined.
On Tuesday, for the tirst time, his mind seemed affected, his
general weakness Increased and breathing again became labored.
On Wednesday he grew progressively weaker and on Thurs
day It was decided to perform a third operntign. as liquid had
again gathered In the pleura. Ills condition was so grave, how
ever, the doctors decided to postpone action as long as possible.
On Friday much Improvement is noted and doctors say he may
live for weeks.
On Saturday so much better that some express belief that he
may recover.
On Sunday relapses Into semi-coma during night and all hope
of his living more than few hours abandoned.
At noon Monday all the cardinals were hastily summoned to
the Yaticun.
At 4:04 o'clock Monday afternoon, July 20, His Holiness Pope

WELL DEFINED CASE OF RABIES
Mrs. Oeoraie W. Stover ot Nor'b
Twenty-Fourth Street tho
Victim.
Mrs. George W. Stover, residing at 1417
North Twenty-fourth street, la ln a very
serious condition aa the reault of the blta
of a small Up dog. Tha doctors who are In
attendance pronounce the disease with
which she la attacked aa hydrophobia.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Stover, Mrs.
George Gillenbeck, Mr. Btover and a domes
tic employed by the Stovers were In a room
wh-re the dog was playing. First one and
then the other wore teasing It. The dog
had not been feeling well ar.d had shown
signs of Illness most of the day. All at
once It began snapping and before they
could get out of Its reach It had bitten all
of those present. The animal was a small
lap dog which had been In the family some
time. It appears that not much notice was
taken of the matter by those bitten, as the
dog was not killed, but died of what Is
supposed to be rabies a few days later.
On last Sunday night Mrs. Stover began
to show signs of rabies. The disease has
been growing stronger ever since, and dur
ing yesterday she rapidly passed from one
spasm to another. Whenever liquid of any
kind Is brought near her she Immediately
goes Into a spasm. Solid food can be given
without any apparent 111 effeots.
All of the others who were bitten will
start for the Pasteur institute for the treat
ment of hydrophobia in" Chicago this morn
ing to take treatment for the prevention of
the disease. As soon as It was ascertained
that Mrs. Stover was suffering with a
well a"-eloped case of rabies a message
was sent to the Pasteur institute In Chi
cago for some of the vaccine virus used
ln aueh cases, and it is expected It will ar
rive in Omaha this morning. It will be
Immediately used, and that seems to be
considered about the only chance the
women has for recovery. While the
spasms can be controlled to a certain ex
tent at the present time, the doctors in at
tendance agree that the outlook is very
dark, unless the virus affords relief.
Mrs. Stover conducts a candy store at
the number given. So far as known the
dog bit no other persons than those named,
nor no other animals.

where he stood when stunned. When he
got to his feet he asked who had fired the
pistol In his ear. '
Four of the fourteen horses ln the barn
were knocked off their feet by the shock,
but by pouring water on them two were
finally revived and were gotten out of the
I building. The other two were dead. Mr.

: O. E. Carpenter, son of J. F. Carpenter,
removed most of the horses from the build
ing the barn was not badly damaged. Mr.

ROME. July 20. The pope died shortly
after 4 o'clock this afternoon. Ills last
momenta were comparatively peaceful and
painless and were preceded by a period
cC Insensibility.
Around the bedside ut the final moment
were the cardinal!-, tho icluthcs and the
members of the papal court. Hefore lap
sing Into unconsciousness the d Ing pontiff
feebly moved his lips, tils lust articulato
words being those uncd In bestowing a
benediction.
Gradually the shadow of death spread
over tho pontiff, his extremities became
cold, his features assumed the fixed
rigidity of dcuth, and Dr. Laponnl noted
his last fluttering heart beats, which
gradually became sldwer and slower, until
they finally stopped.
Tho news of the pope's death spread
rapidly throughout Rome and caused a
most profound sensation. The whjle city
is ln mourning.
A large crowd has gathered about the
Vatican, but perfect order prevails there
and elsewhere In Rome.
Tho pope's death agony was short and
was terminated by a paroxysm of chok
ing. After a short Interval Ca-dlnal Bera
flno Vannutelll intoned the requiem amldt
the weeping of those present. Then all
kissed Pope Leo's hand before leaving the
chamber.
Last Act of tha Pontiff.
During the alarming crisis about noon,
while the pope was lying on his bed,
perfectly motionless, and around him
knelt the cardinals and other mem
bers of the pspal court, praying,
without any preliminary restlessness,
the pontiff opened hla eyes, which
fell on Cardinal Oregllo. who waa at
hla aide, and aald aolemnly: "To your emi
nence, who will ao soon seise the reins of
supreme power. I confide tha church In
these diffloult limes."
Then Mgr. Blsleti. tho master of the
chamber, asked for tha pope's benediction
for tbe court, which uo pops granted, add-
o hub my last greeting."
Tha pleuro-pneumonla with which his
holiness had been Buffering waa scarcely
so muoh responsible for his death as that
Inevitable decay of tissue which en sum
upon ninety-three years of life. The

parting words were not of the phyalcal
suffering, but were whispered benedictions
on the cardinals and hla nephews, who
knelt at the bedside and the last look of
hla almost slghtlass eyes was towards
the great Ivory crucifix hanging in the
death chsmbar.
Practically all the cardinals now In Roma
kneeling at the bedside, watched tha .pas

dinal Eeraflno Vannutelll had impressively
pronounced the absolution In articulo

The condition of hla holiness varied from
agony to coma. Wishing to relieve him
Dr. Maxsonf suggested that morphine
should be administered, but Dr. Laponnl
did not agree, fearing that the and might
be Quickened.
