supervisor of Indian schools, arrived In
Washington today, Mr. Pringle has visited
recently the school, at Genoa and Santes

would recommend a new power house for
Genoa costing approximately 110,000 to
pump water and heat the school buildings.
It is proposed to sink a well twenty feet
in diameter forty-five feet and this, it Is
expected, will give a water supply more
than ample for the needs of the school.
At the Santee school one additional well
Is to be sunk. The sanitary arrangements
will also be much Improved and additional
appliances purchased to Insure warmth
during the winter. A number of additional
bath rooms will also be provided at the

President Roosevelt has pardoned Emlllo
Vlllamor, a prominent Filipino, who in

as a spy tor the American army, tried him
by court martial and shot him. Vlllamor

disposed of Gadung. It was for this that
he waa tried. He has served a term of

a pardon under the presidential amnesty

ROME. July 29. Rome this morning ws.
the scene of one of those dramatic con
trasts which are now so characteristic of
the Kternal city.
While at tho Vatican, In the 8l?tlne
chapel, a solemn requiem mass was being
intoned, with all the solemnity the Catho
lic church could Impose, for the repone of
the soul of Pope Leo XIII, the spiritual
monarch who claimed Rome us bis capital,
another and no less solemn requiem mass
was being celebrated in the magnificent
Pantheon for the repose of the soul of
the late King Humbert, the temporal mon
arch, the capital of whose kingdom wa.
Rome.
King Victor Emanuel and the dowager
queen Margaret came here on purpose to
attend the annual muss which is cele
brated on the nnnlvcrsary of the assassina
tion of King Humbert, which occurred
three years ago. The king drove to the
Pantheon, ihe well known red liveries of
his coachman and footmen arousing much
Interest, and arrived there In time to meet
Queen Margaret, who wa. dressed In deep
! est bluck.
After a tender embrace mother and .oa
entered the Pantheon, heard the mass ani
placed wreaths on the tombs of King Hum
bert and King Victor Emanuel. The en
trance and exit of their majesties wa. wit
nessed by a large crowd.
Tombs of Two rlnas.
At It o'clock the member, of the munici
pality of Rome, with the exception of those
of their number who a few day. ago went
to the Vatican to condole with the earner
lingo on Pope Leo', death (as representa
tives of the clerical party of the city gov
ernment) visited the Pantheon In a body
and placed wreath, on the tomb, of the
two kings.
In the evening there ws. a public pro
cession in the street, to the tomb, of King
Humbert and King Victor Emmanuel. It f
passed off quietly, though thousands of
person! witnessed the demonstration and
the procession Itself was-'over a mile In
length. Throughout the route, tho plasxa
and ttreeta . were, thronged with -orderly . i V.-.
spectators, who heartily tneered the re-, i i' -'
shitted Garlbaldlan veterans and other repi
resentatlve. of Italian liberty. There were
more outward sign, of mourning than have
been seen in Rome In recent year.. The
procession wa. mostly composed of local
patriotic societies. The different corps car
ried many banner, and Italian flag., draped
with crape, beside, hundred, of wreath.,
which they laid on the two grave, at the
Pantheon.
The general opinion expressed wa. that
the anti-clericals succeeded in making a
successful demonstration against the cler
icals, but they did so without any breach
of propriety and without wounding the feel
ings of tho Roman Catholic.
Porelicn Mass for Pope.
The second requiem mas. In the Slstlne
chapel was termed the foreign mass. Cardi
nal Kopp, .ttahop of Hreslau. celebrated,
assisted by three foreign cardinals. Goo
sens, Oruscha and Perraud, and cne Italian
cardinal, Dl Petro. The beautiful chapel
overflowed, as It did yesteiday, with the
faithful.
The Vatican, a. a rule, provide, a car
riage and horses for all the cardinals, and
all the horse, are alike, black, with long
tails; but the authorities were not pre
pared for so many cardinal, and were
obliged to give the last arrivals bay horses.
From the estimates made the cost to
the Holy See of the "arlous ceremonies
from the death of tho pope to the election
of his successor. If It takes place within s
few days, will be 1400,000. This I. a serious
drain, us the Vatican coffer, are hone too
full.
With the arrival here of Cardinal Prlso
archbishop of Naples, the number of cardi
nals who will participate In the conclave I.
complete and totals sixty-two. Of the two
remaining. Cardinal Celesta, archbishop of
Palermo, cannot leave Palermo because of
his health and Cardinal Moran, archbishop
of Sydney, N. S. W., although he haa left
Sydney, cannot. It Is believed, arrive here
before August 20, when, it is supposed, the
conclave will be over.
