THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, SATURDAY. JULY -25, 1903. H GAINING Chances of Being Pope Are Brighter. ALLIANCE IS FORMED If Rampolla Can't Win Will Aid Him, He QREGLIA CREATES SENSATION Malces Remark .That He Won Id Not Stay Shot Up In jGIoomr Vatican Grounds Thirty Thousand View Pope's Body. ROME. July 24. Interest is now largely engrossed with the coming conclave and Its result. The gossip of the day may bo summed up briefly by saying that Cardinal Gotti's chances of election seem to have Improved In comparison with those of other cardinals who have been mentioned as likely to succeed the dead pontiff, al though there still exists a strong feeling that some one hitherto scarcely talked of may wear the tiara) The nearer the conclave approaches the more two distinct tendencies are shown In the Sacred College, especially among the cardinals of the curia that is to say, those living In Rome, but in which the cardi nals from the province?, as well as foreign cardinals, cannot help participating. These two tendencies spring from the personal ity of Cardinal Rampolla, as the great struggle continues to be in his favor or against him. Programme of Rampolla. " If Rampolla finds on the first ballot he has a considerable number of votes, he will try again. If he has few votes ami one of his opponents many, "he will re nounce his chances and he and all his friends will support first Cardinal Gotti, "with whom he now has come to some such agreement, and attempt to raise Gotti to the supreme office with Rampolla as an ally. This would mean the maintenance of Pope Leo's policy on exactly the same lines and Intrusted to the same men. But Gotti inspires great distrust. As he belongs to the religious orders, he would render the situation of the papacy ex tremely difficult at the present moment, considering the conditions prevailing in France, Spain and the Philippines. It seems, therefore, almost sure that If at the first ballot it is probable that Gotti cannot be successful, this section of the Sacred College will decide on Cardinal dl Pietro, one of Rampolla's most faithful followers. Rampolla, being a Sicilian, can count on the two Sicilian cardinals. One of them, however. Cardinal Celesta, a bishop of Palermo, is so old almost 90 that bis relatives strongly oppose his going to Rome. Spanish for Rampolla. Tor political reasons ejl Spanish cardi nals are favorable to Rampolla', besides a dozen Italians, thus making a total of 25. But to be elected pope it is necessary to Bet together over 40 votes, and of the pres ent 64 cardinals not more than two or three will be absent from the conclave. The anti-Rampolla tendency has more prominent candidates, such as Cardinals Oreglla, Vannutelli, Satolli and Agllardl, which will cause difficulty In arriving at an agreement on any one of them. It is already foreshadowed that should the suc cess of their opponents be probable, this group will center all their votes on Car dinal Capacotro, a bishop of Capua. It is understood that the Prussian Min ister accredited to the Vatican has re ceived Instructions to favor the election of Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli or Agll ardL Cardinal Kopp. bishop of Breslau, who arrived here yesterday, lias been ap proached to the same effect. Orelia "Excites the Gossips, Much comment was excited at the Vati- xnan by a drive which Cardinal Oreglla took through the Vatican gardens thla morning. The cardinal did not appear to be satisfied with what he saw. He shook 3ls head, exclaiming dismally: "What decay! What neglect! I could not remain shut' up in this melancholy place. I should die in a year." The gossips now wish to know if this means the cardinal would not accept the papacy if elected. It seems that the more probable interpretation of his re marks would be that if made pope he would institute great changes in the gardens. The congregation of cardinals has not yet decided whether the note which the Sacred College intends to address to the powers concerning the situation of the papacy at Rome shall be presented t morrow when the reception of the dlp- Ism. tir body occurs. The diplomatists accredited to the holy see will . be pre sented by M. Martins d'Antas, the Min ister from Portugal, who is dean of the corps. Monslgnore Merry del Val will re ply as acting Secretary of State. When Conclave Will Open. At the meeting of the congregation to day Cardinal Satolli asked when the conclave would be opened. Cardinal Oregiia replied, that he thought that on the evening of Friday, July 31, all the cardinals might enter their cells and be ready for the first meeting of the con clave August 1, a week from tomorrow. The report that Monslgnore D. J. O'Con jjeH. rector of the Catholic University at Washington, was obliged to leave Rome on account of his electioneering for Car dinal GJbbons is pronounced absolutely untrue. The fact is that Monslgnore O'Connell only came to Rome to present his report on the condition of the uai versity over which he presides. Finding the pope at the point of death, he merely submitted a verbal report to Cardinal Satolli. The congregation today also heard the secret reports from the nuncios at Vi enna, Paris, Munlsh and Madrid. It ap proved the charity bequeathed by Leo to the poor. Inside the Vatican the work of ar ranging the apartments for the. conclave has been begun. The courtyards are choked with carts, bricks and building material for raising the walls where doors exist, making partitions, etc The palace guards and gendarmes will be transferred elsewhere, as their barracks are needed by the conclave. This afternoon Cardinal Oreglla, escorted by theJSwIss guards, In spected the work. r Cardinal Oreglla 1b Increasing In favor dally even In the great circles. Monslgnore Farabulinck. the famous Latlnlst, whom? Gladstone often consulted, and of whom the German Emperor re quested advice concerning latin, has been selected to write the oratlo brevls, the Latin eulogy upon the late pontiff, which will bo burled with him. PURSUING OLD POLICY. Gotti Has Qualifications to Complete Old Conclave's Plans. The object of the forthcoming con clave of cardinals, says F. Marlon Craw ford, biographer of the late pope. In Ev erybody's Magazine for August, will be, not to institute a new policy, but to complete th course planned by the con clave of 1878. The election of Leo XIII was due to the desire of the cardinals to prepare the field for the development of the church's authority in the modern world, development necessitated by the European revolutions of the XVII cen tury and the rise of America. Leo was elected as a man capable of showing that dogma was not Incompatible with ad vanced civilisation, and that Christianity was still the source of all that is really TALBOT good and true in modern progress. The conclave did not expect Leo to reign more than ten years, and it was hoped that, when he had prepared the field, his suc cessor shouldreap the benefit for the church by putting in practice the the oretical rules which he would find drawn i up. Leo, says Mr. Crawford, has per-' fectly fulfilled his share of the work, and It remains for the present conclave to elect a pope who shall carry the plan to final execution. To do this it is neces sary to choose a political pope, a states man at peace with all the states and their rulers, upholding their authority and himself upheld by them. The necessity of choosing such a man, thinks Mr. Crawford, although he does not commit himself to prophecy, will In crease the probabilities of Cardinal Got ti's election. "Few men," says Mr. Craw ford, "are so generally spoken of. He Is a man of superior endowments, a lover of justice, cool and deliberate." As to the other "papables," Mr. Craw ford thinks that Cardinal Rampolla's known policy will ensure his defeat. Rampolla alms at friendship with for eign powers, but implacable hostility to Italy. He has long been powerful, a fact that is at ance a source of strength and of weakness. "Cardinal Oreglla will never be a can didate for the papacy," says Mr. Craw ford, "nor will his influence In a con clave be great." The influence of Cardinal Serafino Van nutelli will be greatly felt, but his youth is regarded as an Inseparable bar to his election, though In the next conclave he may receive many votes with the aid of his brother, Cardinal Vlnccnzo Vannu telli. If a bishop rather than a member of the curia is to be chosen Cardinal SV&mpa will be a probability. As to the other candidates, they have, in Mr. Crawford's opinion, no chance of election. THOUSAXDS VIEW POPE'S BODY. Interment Will Occur In Sarcophagus at St. Peter's Today. x ROME, July 24. Again the body of Leo XUI lay in state in the Basilica of St. Peter's, and about 30,000 people passed be fore the catafalque during the day. This probably Is a slight increase over the number who viewed the remains yester day, and the augmentation was doubtless due to the widely circulated reports that today would be the last on which the pub lic could have an opportunity of looking on the body of the beloved pontiff. These reports proved to be baseless, and the body will continue in the chapel of tho sacrament at least during the greater part of tomorrow. The fears expressed by the Vatican authorities concerning de composition appear to have been exag gerated. With impressive ceremonies, the body will be Interred tomorrow evening in a sarcophagus at St. Peter's, where it will remain until taken to Its final resting place In the church of St. John Lateran. Italian soldiers again today preserved or der inside St. Peter's, where there was a repetition of the scene and crowd which occurred yesterday. The day was noted for the solemn masses celebrated for the repose of the soul of the late pontiff at St. Peter's and other famous churches at Rome, which were largely attended, despite the pathetic ceremony which was occurring at the basilica. FUNERAL MASSES CELEBRATED. Many of the Churches of Rome Hold Imposing Ceremonies. ROME, July 24. A solemn funeral mass or the repose ojt the soul of Pope Leo was celebrated today in the Church of Saints Vincent and Anas taslus. The door of the church, which contains the viscera of all the popes since Slxtus V, except those of Plus IX, was decorated in black and gold, and bore a long inscription In Latin. Inside, the church was hung with black, and on the high altar was. a golden cross . and in the center stood an elaborate cata falque, surmounted by a triple crown. In front of the catafalque -was the coax, of arms of the late pontiff, with a profusion of flowers and many flags of clerical so cieties. Monslgnore VIrili celebrated the mass, assisted by all the students of the Ameri can College. Monslgnore Kennedy and the Revs. John Murphy and Charles Finn assisted at the ceremonies. The church was overflowing with people. Among those present were Countess Pecci, niece of Pope Leo; Dra. Rcssonl. Lapponl and Mazzoni, and Countess Spottlswood Mac-' kie, formerly Miss Brltton, of St. Louis. Among the other funeral masses cele brated today the most imposing was that in the choir chapel of St. Peter's, facing the chapel where the body of Leo Ilea In state, with a never-ending stream of people passing before It. A grand cata falque, draped with black and gold, was In the center of the chapel, and on It a triple crown held a conspicuous position which, with fllckerlrig candles around the catafalque and clouds of Incense, gave a note of mysticism to the chapel which was wanting In the exposition of the re mains of the pope on the other side of the church. The function reached the height of Jmpresslvenesa when the voices of the choir rang out the Dies Irae, which re-echoed through the basilica. Still another mass was celebrated In the Church of Jesus, belonging to the Jesuits. The large church was fllled with people belonging to the upper classes of Rome. The most significant mass, however, was that celebrated In the Royal Chapel, known as the Church of the Sudarlo, by the cdurt chaplain, by order of the King of Italy. When Plug IX died four days after his death mass was celebrated In the Sudarlo Church for the repose of the soul of Victor Emmanuel, the lately de- HEADS OF LARGE FIRMS WHICH FAILED YESTERDAY. J. TAYLOR. ceased. Today it was four days after the death of Leo and mass was cele brated for the repose of his soul. In addition to the bequests already men tioned the will of Pope Leo made provis ion for the distribution of about $20,000 among( the poor of Rome, Perugia, where lie for' many years was archbishop, and Carplneto, where ho was born. POPE'S BODY XOT DECOMPOSING. Dark Color Assumed by the Faco Is Due o Smoke From Candles. ROME, July 24. The report generally circulated that the body of Pope Leo was beginning to show signs of' decomposition caused great excitement, but It is now contradicted by the doctors. Many people who had decided to visit the chapel of the Sacrament, In St. Peter's, on the last day of the body lying in state, and thus avoid the crowd, hurried there today, fearing that It would be burled tonight, while many persons In the provinces took the first trains to Rome which resultedin a gathering at St. Peter's larger than that of yesterday. Otherwise the scene was practically the same. The work of the soldiers and police on duty was more arduous owing to the burning sun and dust and the struggle to enter the cathe dral, the fainting of women, screaming of children and tho hurrahs of the men. However, no grave Incident has so far been reported. Dr. Lapponl, In the face of the doubts cast on the efficacy of his process of em balming, went with the other doctors to day to examine the body of the pope and found it to be in a perfect state of preser vation. The dark color assumed by the face was attributed to the smoke of the many candles burning. A large quantity of ice was put under the bier. Unless the unexpected occurs; the interment will take place Saturday evening, as originally 'arranged. y Does Xot Want to Be Archbishop. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 24. The Evening Wisconsin today prints an Inter view with Bishop "Messmer, of Green Bay, Wis., in which that prelate says he does not want to be archbishop succeed ing the late Archbishop Katzer.

JAPAN NOT FOR WARJ ) She Will Pursue a Waiting Policy on Manchuria, !N -LINE WITH UNITED STATES Failure of Russia to Withdraw by October 1 "Will Be Followed hy a Serious More oh the Part, of the Mikado. ' LONDONf, July 24. Japan has decided to adopt the policy of waiting and watch lng'Russla, adyocated by Great Britain. In' the meantime she will urge China to carry out the assurances given to the W. L. United States respecting Manchuria, and will endeavor to obtain the opening of additional ports. At the Japanese Lega tion here the following statement was made by an official to the Associated Press: "I can assure you( that the talk of , war between Russia and Japan Is an in vention.. Japan has not the least Inten tion of taking that course. She proposes to wait and maintain her attitude of watchfulness. Japan and America are acting on the same lines, and It. would be difficult for any other power to withstand the pressure they and Great Britain could apply." It Is said that Japan Intends to do noth ing until October, when the final evacua tion of Manchuria must occur. The fail ure of Russia to withdraw from' Manchu ria would be followed by a serious move on the part of Japan. The Russian -Embassy here regrets the confusion which has resulted in conse quence of the report that has arisen that Prince Ching. head of the Chinese For eign Office, has written to Minister Con ger refusing to open ports In Manchuria. The Russian officials at Waohlngton be lieved that the note was sent before China gave her assurances, and they as serted positively that Russia intends to carry out to the letter the assurances she has given, and will not Interpose ob stacles in" the way of China's observing her pledge to Secretary Hay. JAPAN FACES IVEW DIFFICULTY. Split la the Cabinet Intensities the Manchurian Dispute. TOKI07 July 11, via Victoria, B. C, July 24. The difficulty of the diplomatic situation in regard to the Manchurian question Is now being complicated by se rious difficulties in the'Cablnet. The. Pre mier, Count Katsura, has asked to be relieved of his position, but the Emperor has declined to entertain the proposition, and suggested that the Premier take a vacation. The latter, accordingly, retired to his villa at Hayama. The Cabinet crlsfc has had some effect In Increasing the diplomatic difficulties. The Emperor sent for Marquis Ito and received him In private audience. Noth ing is known of what the imperial com mands were but rumor is busy. The high est opinion states that the crisis marks a momentous stage In tho history of Japan's constitutional government. While normal ly founded on the constitutional plan, the Cabinet and parties In Parliament are not tho sole arbiters of the national destiny. It has been found necessary, in obedience to ancient Japanese tradition, to maintain the absolute autocracy of the foreign sit uation as a thing apart from party squab bles, and around him has come to be grouped a council of the elder statesmen (genro) for whose existence there Is no constitutional warrant. One of the Emperor's most-trusted elder statesman Is Marquis Ito, but he, some years ago, became convinced of the neces sity of inaugurating party government and stepped down from the sacred Imperial cir cle Into the public arena, where he organ ized and successfully led the Seiyakal, or constltutlona' party. He could not. how ever, divest himself of his title to the function of elder statesman, and has com bined the two roles of elder statesman and party leader with some difficulty, hav ing to combat distrust on both sides. Until the last session of the Diet he was enabled to control his partisans, but then they broke from him and after he had failed to make a compromise by con ceding that there would be no public Im pugning of the Cabinet's credit, a large number of his party joined In a motion to impeach tho government. Though this motion signally failed, it brought the long pending aufestion or the Impossibility of Marqulsito'o double role to a climax. It is said, therefore, that tho Emperor Is de sirous of increasing tho dignity of the Mar quis by drawing him closer to his side and entirely away from party manage ment. The Emperor's proposal has been matured by the growing difficulties of the Manchurian and Corean questions and the desire of the KatBura Cabinet to resign. It Is well known what Mftrquls Ito will do. He Is the founder and upholder of party government In Japan. If he with draws his work of years may collapse, for no other leader has shown the same meas ure of control over the factlonarles. On the other hand he is urgently wanted In a higher sphere, but here his unselfish de votion to party leadership has impaired his Influence with the House of Peers and elder statesmen, who regard his efforts to popularize government as treachery to them, and a Cabinet formed by . him might not be able to make its' policy ef fective in the upper house. The Marquis has been consulting his friends, but events may any day" force him to take a step that will have lasting con sequences. CZAR BACK TO HIS TLD POLICY. Japanese Cabinet Crisis "Will Caase ' Him to Hold Fast la Maachtirla. TOKIO. July U, via Victoria, B. C July 24. The domestic crisis in Japan nas com plicated matters abroad. At a conference between General Kuropatkln, Russian Minister of "War, Russian Minister Les-. sar, and Pavlov, the manager of the Russian-Chinese Bank, and Generals Alex leff and Wogack, at Port Arthur on July 3, It Is said they decided In favor of Russia supplementing her treaty and with drawing all extra demands on China. But when the news of a mysterious crisis In Japan arrived. It is reported that senti ment changed to a resolve to hold fast and trust to the same policy of aggres sion as before. ' So far nothing positive is known, but It seized the rumor of Cabinet diversion to question the Japanese representative, at Pekln as to Japan's "Intentions." They were Informed firmly by Mr. "Uchlda that whatever might be the minor domestic STOW. questions in the Japanese Cabinet, Japan's newly-adopted strong policy In regard to the Manchurian question' remained, tho same and would not be changed. The Pekln correspondent of the Nichl wires that the Chinese government has been Informed by the Chinese Minister at St. Petersburg that direct negotiations of a strong nature have been made to Russia by Japan, and the Russian gov ernment is divided on the matter. Offi cials of the Foreign Office at Pekln are holding conferences In this regard at the imperial Summer Palace, and are much confused. The stories of these "direct negotia tions" are believed to be a fact In Toklo, It is said there that the statement Is Russia as to her intentions In regard to Manchuria and Corea, and that these 'in quiries are the result of the strong policy recently adopted. , There are indications that the Russian occupation of China is to be counteracted by the Japanning of Corea through the pacific means of railroads and commercial conquest. Meanwhile, Russia does not se cure everything. Minister Lessar applied to the Chinese government to open Chang Chlh Kou and Hakon Hslen. which Rus sia wished to leliBe as trading ports, but the' Chinese Foreign Office said that all sites at both places were private prop erty and could not be leased. PROTEST AGAINST JAPANESE LAW. Foreign Insurance Companies Allege Discrimination. YOKOHAMA, July 11, via Victoria, B. C, July 24. Many protests have been filed with various Ministers and Consult: by local foreign Insurance men against an order Issued by the Minister of Agricul ture and Commerce that each foreign company must, before October 31 next, de posit with the Treasury 100,000 yen ($50,000) as a guarantee of security for Japanese policy-holders. As, the Japanese , com panies are not asked to put up more than 20.000 yen ($12,500). and as International treaties prescribe absolute commercial equality, the order Is being regarded by some as a discrimination. Some of the large American companies, however, are not opposing the order, in the belief that its fulfillment will have the effect of weeding out weaker companies. There is nd concerted action af. present. A foreign capitalist has decided to es tablish a large sugar refinery at the vil lage of Dalrl, Fukoka prefecture, In com bination with some Japanese. RUSSIA SHOWS SHE MEANS TO STAY China Docs Bidding of Cxar, Who Is Rushing In Troops. LONDON, July 24. The Times this morning prints a long Pekin dispatch com menting on the Manchurian situation whicn says that Russia's declaration to the powers on the subject of opening Man churian ports, which Prince Ching asserts was not communicated to China, was in terpreted in Pekin to mean that Russia will not permit China to enter into any en gagements with other powers regarding Manchuria which niay embarrass Russia In the future, when the territory finally becomes a Russian province. Hence, the Times correspondent says, Russia's re fusal to permit In Manchuria foreign set tlements similar to those In Chinese treaty fcorts. It la openly contended by the Russians that it is purely a Russian city to which a foreign consul could only be appointed with Russia's consent. If the United States, continues the correspqndent, con siders the declaration satisfactory, and bc lievfs Russia will assist in the develop ment of foreign trade in Manchuria, it must bo kept In surprising ignorance of the unhappy experience of an American trading company both at Vladivostok and Port Arthur. The air Is full of rumors and tqe situation seems pregnant with possibilities. There Is no pretense of evacuating Manchuria. On the contrary, reinforcements are constantly arriving, and there is a continuous southward move ment of troops. The coast and the railway from Port Ar thur to a point two stations above Dalny Is to be strongly fortified. There are In cessant shipments of coal and foodstuffs to Port Arthur and feverish drilling and gun oraetice on the Russian side, which may not forebode war but which accounts for the fear common In North China that war is possible.

Slaying of Prominent Kentucky Mer chant Is Avenged. LEXINGTON, Ky., July 24. Claude O'Brien and Earl E. Whitney, boys in years, and whose faces Indicated nothing of the criminal, were hanged here, at 8 o'clock this morning for the murder of A. B. Chlnn. The boys ate hearty breakfasts and at 7:30 were dressed for the scaffold. Both were so calm that they elicited comment from all the officials. Two priests at 6 o'clock administered communion. Both the condemned said they felt better and were ready to die. Whitney smiled from the scaffold at the crowd. They shook hanfe with the priests. O'Brien's Hps moved In prayer as the rope was adjusted. Both replied they did not have anything to sav. Early on the morning of October 12, 1902, O'Brien and Whitney entered the home of A. B. Chlnn, a wealthy merchant and an ex-Confederate .soldier, and with revol vers in hand demanded his, money. Mrs. Chlnn screamed. Asa Chlnn, their son. hurried to the door of his parents' room and the burglars began shooting. Asa Chlnn also opened fire. The- elder Chlnn, sitting on the side of his bed, was shot through tho body. The boys then ran from the room over- the . form of Asa Chlnn, who also had been shot and was lying on the floor, using his revol ver as best he could. Whitney was woundsd In the left knee. The elder Chlnn got up from the bed' and went to the door, where "he dropped dead. The boys were captured a few days later near here, but owing to rumors of lynching were removed to Louisville for safe keeping. O'Brien was IS years of age, and hl3 home was In Memphis, Tenn.

Detectives who have been searching for Charles F. Jones, who confessed to having caused the death of the Texas millionaire, William Marsh Rice, whoee- valet he was, have, been searching the South In vain for the man. Jones received immunity for becoming a state witness ngalnst Albert T, Patrick, who was charged with killing Rice, through the Instrumentality of Jones, for the purpose of securing the Rice millions. In June, 1902, Jones was given his freedom on the nominal ball of $1000. Before Jones waa permitted to leave prison he was macta to agree that he would keep in con stant communication with the District Attorney's office and with this he was permitted to return to his old home in Texas. Nearly every one he had known from childhood passed him In silence on the street. He was practically In solitude among his former friends. He went to Houston, where he had worked as a clerk for Rice in a warehouse. He met with scorn wherever he went and In the letters sent to the District Attorney's office com plained bitterly of the treatment. As a last resort Jones went to Galveston and shipped under an assumed name as a mate on the schooner Raphaelo, which made trips from Galveston to the San Jacinto River. Then he went to New Or leans, when his letterq stopped. It became necessary to locate Jones In a proceeding connected with the Patrick appeal, but no trace of him can be found.

PABTIALPARALYSIS Still Another Case Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The story of We cure of Henry J. Hubbard, of Wlttens, O., from paralysis will ,bring hope to others afflicted as he was. He was helpless and utterly discouraged. He had been getting worse and worse month by month. First it made him unable to work, then he could not walk, then he could not even raise a hand to feed himself; he could not move any part. of his body except his head. "I heard of Mr. Lee F. Cypher, of SIs tersville. a neighboring town in West Virginia, who had been cured of paral ysis by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," says Mr. Hubbard, in tell ing the story of his cure, "and my son took me over to see him. It gave me new courage to hear him tell how easily he found relief, for I had given up hope of ever being able to move again. I was perfectly helpless. When I was flrst taken I was treated by three phy sicians, one of them a specialist, but I got worse Instead of better. I cbuld both walk and feed myself when I be gan doctoring with them, but finally T could move nothing except my head. The doctors' medicine caused my stom ach to pain me a great deal; it didn't help me a bit, and, as I said, I got dis couraged. "Then, after I saw Mr. Cypher, and he told me Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for. Pale People had accomplished such a wonderful cure in his case, I decided to. take the remedy myself. In about three weeks after beginning with the pills I noticed a change for the better. Now I can walk and get around all right."
