CONFERS WITH THE CARDINALS
ROME, July 13 At 9:15 o'clock this
morning- the doctors Issued the follow
ing bulletin regarding the condition of
the pope:
"Up to midnight the pontiff remained
tranquil, but afterwards he experienced
agitated Intervals. A physical exami
nation of the throax shows no change
since day before yesterday. The action
of the kidneys continues alight, an&jhe
general condition of bis holloevn Is
somewhat depressed. His pulse Is 82,
respiration 32, and temperature, SO.
"MAZZONI,
"LAPPONL"
ROME, July 13, 6:45 A. M. The con
dition of the pope was stationary dur
ing the night. He slept at intervals,
but was not entirely tranquil.
ROME, July 12. Pope Leo has lived to
see another Sunday, and, with the Sab
bath quiet which fell upon Rome, came
also peace and even progress to the
pontiff. Beginning this morning with
distinct signs of improvement, he main
tained' the strength throughout thp day.
.Tonight Dr. Lapponl made, the following
statement ip. answer to the Inquiry If he
believed the pope's Improved condition
could continue:
I believe. If the pope lasts until- July
21, we may not, perhaps, achieve .an ab
splqte cure, but we 'will secure auch a
good state of health in the patient as
will allay our anxiety."
During the morning the pontiff partic
ipated in the celebration of mass. The
ceremony was held in the chapel adjoin
ing the sick chamber, Consignor Mar-
sonl being the celebrant, The door con
necting the sickroom with the chapel was
opened, so that His Holiness might fol
low the ceremonies. He insisted that
Dr. Lapponl and his valet. Center!, should
leave his side and enter the chapel in
order to better hear the mass.
The history of the day has been com
paratively uneventful. The pontiff had
several hours' repose. Dr. Lapponl rest
ing near him throughout the night. The
physician twice administered stimulants
to him, once of digitalis to strengthen the
heart and once of camphor and caffeine
to overcome the patient's growing de
pression. This "morning found the pon
tiff with spirits bright and the conditions
generally lmprored.
II aa Manifestly Improved.
Dr. Mazzonl joined his assistant at 8:20
A. M., and, after a' brief conference, Is
sued the most encouraging official bul
letin thus far given. Resides summarlz
lng the satisfactory pathological condi
tions, the doctor gave the cheering tld
lngs that the pontiff's condition had mani
festly Improved. The pulse, which went
down yesterday to 82, had risen eto S3,
while the temperature and respiration
showed no abnormal changes.
Pope Leo took his usual light break
fast, and Dr. Lapponl felt sufficiently as
sured to leave the Vatican for the first
time. "When the physician left the sick
room he was almost mobbed by high dig
nitaries who rejoiced at seeing the "physi
cian confident enough to leave the pa
tlent Dr. Lapponl addressed them all.
saying:
"Yes, the pope Is better, but I beg you
not to exaggerate in optimism in order
to avoid a disillusion later."
Dr. Mazzonl was also absent from the
pope's side, which in Itself gave the
clearest evidence that the doctors them
selves were relieved of Immediate ap
prehension. Dr. Rossonl has been taken
sick himself with fever, and is prevented
from visiting the pope this evening, as
he intended.
Leo Arises and Receives Cardinals
During the afternoon the pope felt
strong enough to get up. He rose, dressed
himself alone In white and went to sit
In bis usual armchair, where he remained
for some time. Then the windows were
opened for a change of air, the sun
streaming In, together with a light, re
freshing breeze from the Mediterranean.
Late in the afternoon , he received sev
era! cardinals. The pope showed his
usual brightness. To Cardinal Mathleu
His Holiness said:
"I have not ceased for one moment to
pray to God to protect France and have
the men now governing her repent and
stop the persecution of the church."
He then sent the apostolic blessing to
Cardinal Mathleu's sister, who Is a nun.
He thanked Cardinal Stjnhueber, who told
him that the whole Jesuit order was dally
praying for his recovery, and he asked
Cardinal Agliardl how he liked the posi
tion of vice-chancellor of the church, to
which he was appointed at last con
sistory, and how the cardinal enjoyed
his new residence, the beautiful and his
toric palace of the chancellory. '
He thanked Cardinal Casll! for the
warm Interest he bad taken In Ms Illnew,
and then gave all the cardinals his hand '
to shake. As the King of Spain had
telegraphed to Inquire about the pope's
health and had asked for the- papal bene
diction. His Holiness directed Cardinal
Rampolla to telegraph back, granting the
request.
ImprevejBCBt 1m Maintained.
Later the pontiff took a short nap and
slept tranquilly enough, after which he
seemed to have somewhat more difficulty
in breathing. The doctors returned at
7:30 P. M., and their evening bulletins
gave negative encouragement, simply
showing that the favorable conditions of
this -morning had been maintained.
Throughout the day St. Peter's was sur
rounded by "the usual Sunday worship
ers, and. steady lines of Inquirers visited
the Vatican courtyard, where the bulle
tins are issued.
Unusual rigor was adopted to prevent
unseemly gatherings. One notable In
stance of Vatican strictness was the ar
rest of Captain Smlthr commanding the,
Swiss Guard, for caving given Informa
tion to the press.
Impressive Scene la St. Peter'.
There was a striking scene- within St.
Peter's tonight. In the midst of the ves
pers the German students, all In scarlet
cassocks, entered the cathedral. Behind
them came the German friars In rough
hair-cloth cassocks, and then German
nuns In conventional black and white.
These formed a procession, and, kneel
ing, prayed aloud and in silence for Pope
Leo. The congregation joined In the pro
cession until the basilica was half circled
by a moving mass of color, and when St.
Peter's was reached many hundreds fol
lowed the picture of the Savior heId-aloft
by a monk. On one .side of the brass
rails which guard the entrance to the
tomb, knelt the nuns." Opposite, three
deep, were the friars, while In the center,
knelt the young students, their scarlet
cassocks making a blaze of color which
stretched far down the dimly lighted nave.
For nearly an hour no move or sound
came from these supplicants for divine
Interposition save every few seconds the
hoarse, monotonous croy, "Ora pro nobis."
The rosary over, the Germans filed out,
their heads still bent in prayer.
Pope's Room JJrljtht and' Airy.
As many fantastic descriptions are Ih
circulation regarding the rooms where
Pope Leo lies, the representative of the
Associated Press has taken some pains
to secure an exact account from one of
the pope's nephews. The room Is large,
bright and airy. The walls are hung with
pale green and goldlike damask. Enter
ing It, with the sun pouring through the
ample window, is like a taste of Spring.
A large curtain divides the room and Is
drawn open, showing on the right the
modest narrow brass bed, covered with a
red damask color. In his condition Pope
Leo shows great daintiness with regard
to "his person, performing a. full toilet
whenever possible and changing dally his
fine white nightshirt At the head of the
bed is a good- plcturo of the Madonna,
while In Ihe middle of the .adjacent wall.

which the pope has written 'the best of
his Latin poems. On the . other side
stand the now famous armchair, a small
table and a few shelves with the pope's
preferred books. The chamber gives tho
idea of extreme simplicity. . '
Centera, his valet, who is most reluctant
to leave the room, asked this morning
If the pontiff did not think It -better to
have some one always to keep' him com
pany. Pope Leo replied:
"I am in good company," pointing to
the large crucifix.

Gilbert Hunt, the- Ankeny candidate,
is likely to be elected Mayor by a ma

The contest centers about the office
of Marshal, the Ankeny forces having
nominated for the position Frank Kees,
who nominated Ankeny for Senator in
the last Washington Legislature. Early
yesterday morning Kees figured In a
bar-room fight, the story of which Is

WALLA WALLA, Wash., July 12.
(Special.) If trouble is avoided dur
ing the municipal election tomor
row It will be because the cooler
headed managers of the campaign
have the situation in hotter control than
Is believed tonight Apparently the lead
ers, themselves hnvo lost their self-control
in. the bitter factional political fight that
is waging here. The tone of the news
papers and tho bitter feeling shown In
street discussions, the ' occasional bar
room brawls and the action of both fac
tions In carrying the fight today even into
the churches and the homes indicates that
the deep-rooted prejudices of both factions
will not permit quiet to reign tomorrow
J when the test of strength Is applied at
the pons.
It needed but the sllghest provocation
today to have started a small riot Fac
tional differences hau spilt the city In
twain, and apparently no one was ex
empted from the war spirit Shortly after
midnight a saloon brawl, In which Frank
Kees, the Ankeny candidate for Marshal,
was Involved precipitated the first clash
between the two- factions. The story of
the. fight .grew as It traveled, and on top
of It the "Boxers," or anti-'Ankeny men,
issued circulars charging Kees with bitter
antagonism to union labor, endeavoring
to turn the labor vote against the An
keny candidate. " ' .
Naturally the Ankeny forcea resented
the charges and objected to the versions
of the fight In which Kees was . involved.
The "Boxers" taunted the Ankeny forces
with the tale of Kees" outbreak and made
bitter attacks upon the machine which Is
supporting the Ankeny ticket The streets
have been crowded all day; vast thrqngs
have gathered on street corners to dis
pute over the Issues, and even- in the
churches and homes politics. Intruded. The
feeling has been high and had any overt
act occurred on the part of an adherent
of either" faction, a general fight could
hardly have been avoided. Late tonight
this danger passed, but the people whb
are not drawn close Into the fight fear
tomorrow's events.
Sunday a Lively Day.
Walla. Walla, in theory, has beena
closed town 6n Sunday. There has been a
farcical attempt at .enforcing- the law,
never more noticeable than today .when
the ealoons were filled with partisans dis
cussing tho fight according to their own
affiliations.
Trouble began early this morninjc with
a saloon row.. A crowd had gathered In
the Senate saloon and the- "boys" were
enjoying the bruits, of the politician's
activity just before an election: Into a
crowd of Ankeny adherents came Jake
Holmap. a "Boxer" worker well advanced
in years, ...
Holman and Kees. were, arguing politics
when suddenly Holman called the ex-
Sherlff "a d liar." Kees struck him
quick as a flash.
Kees is accused of having struck Hol
man three times, thrown him to, the floor
and then drawn a gun. The crowd rushed
In and separated the two men before any
further demonstration had occurred. The
fact that the "Boxers" were outnumbered
probably prevented a conflict then, but
the story was Immediately spread and the
"Boxers" have been making capital out of
the episode all day, claiming that Kees
assaulted an old and unprotected man.
The Ankeny forces' version Is that Kees
was the victim of a crowd of "sluggers"
sent out by the "Boxers" to make trouble
for the candidate for Marshal.
While the story of Kees early morning
fight was flying about the street the
"Boxers" appeared with circulars charg
ing him with having been unfriendly
toward union labor. This was a play to
the labor 'unions which have recently be
come strong here.
SSOOO Waarered on Marshall Contest.
Today's developments centers the light
In Walla Walla tomorrow on the Marshal.
Fully tSGOO Is wagered on the outcome of
the contest, $2000 of this having been
bet today. Kees money was not so muah
In evidence as It has been since today's
concerted fight against him Indicated the
character of opposition that he will have
to meet.
Opposed to Kees are Alvah Brown, who
is a well-known "Boxer" politician, and
J. C. Hillman. The Is little doubt but
that Hlllman's'candluacy was InsDlred in
Ktho hope of dividing the .anti-Ankeny
strength and aiding Kees. It will help
some, too, for It Is conceded generally
that Hlllman will poll something over 100
votes. If the contest is as close as Is
generally belleVed this may aid Kees con
siderably. The re-election of Gilbert Hunt, the
Ankeny candidate, over FrankiS. Dement,

Under ills Banner.
POTTSVILLE, Pa., July 12. Judge
George Gray, of Delaware, former United
States Senator and president of the An
thracite Strike Commission, Is being
quietly boomed In the anthracite region
for the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency. As the result of a canvass
that has been made throughout the region,
it has been found that nearly all the
miners' union officials who are Democrats
are heartily In favor of his nomination
and, since the reported collapse of the
Cleveland boom, both Cleveland men and
Bryan men are enthusiastic In declaring
that Judge Gray Is a man who can unite
the party.
Ex-Congressman James K. Rellly, who
was a member of the lower house when
Judge Gray was a Senator and who was
later United States Marshal for the east
ern district of Pennsylvania, thus coming
very often In contact with Judge Gray,
says that he Is a man of such strength
and power that. If he can be nominated,
he will probably be elected.
It Is pointed out that, while Judge
Gray's state Is a small one, It Is one of
the most doubtful states In the Union,
and he could certainly carry It for the
Democrats.

TAMMANY CHIEF STRIKES BACK.
Replies to Jerome's Attack on Dock
Board Witk Coanter-Charges.
NEW YORK, July 12. Charles F. Mur
phy", present leader of Tammany Hall and
former treasurer of the Tammany Dock
Board, which District Attorney Jerome Is
attacking in "proceedings before Justice
Mayer, gave out a statement tonight in
which he compares the results and meth
ods of the Tammany board with those of
the Strong and Low boards.
Mr. Murphy says that the city's Inter
ests were better served under the Tam
many board than under either of the
others and challenges Mr. Jerome to prove
the contrary. He explains ffie nature and
purposes of the' "treasurer's orders,"
which Mr. Jerome has referred to so fre
quently, declares they are In use under
another name by the present Commis
sioner, and defends their use.
The statement, which bristles with fig
ures and statements of fact departs from
Its purely business tone long enough to
attack the present administration for
leasing pier 24 to Governor O'Dell's Cen
tral Hudson Steamboat Company, on
which transaction alone he declares the
city's loss amounts to $450,000.
