Leo Trusts Him Despite Bitter At tacks Made ly Enemies jFlensed at "World-Wide Sympathy Shown for Him. ROME, July IT? 2:55 A. M. Dr. Lapponl has again had recourse, with beneficial effects, to an injection ot caffeine, -which had not been used for some days, because of the pope's dis like to It. ROME. July 17. 7:45 A. M. Pope Leo passed a comparatively tranquil night, and his general condition this morning Is stationary. ROME. July 17. 0:03 A. M. Dr. Maz sanl entered the pontiff's bedroom at 8:30 o'clock hts morning, after Dr. Lapponl had reported to him how his holiness had passed the night. He found the patient, as Pope Leo himself said, "unrcfreshed and tired." His holiness complained that,, while the doctors hid promised that his Illness would not last long, It Is now two weeks since he went to bed. The pontiff prefers to sit up In bed, as in that position he feels less op pression on his lungs and can breath more easily. Dr. Maxzonl spent much time In ex amining him. As his holiness Is reduced almost to a skeleton. If a new opera tion is decided upon, it will not be because of any hope of saving the pa tient's life, but simply for the purposo of rendering the death agony less acute. ROME. July 17. 0:30 A. XL The fol lowing bulletin has just been Issued by Pope I'sbslcUuis; "His holiness had during the night some hours of sleep, together with short periods of slight excitement. The level of the pleurlc liquid is main tained In the level Indicated without seriously troubling the pontiff. The physical condition ot the august patient shows no noteworthy change. His pul sation is SS; respiration, 30 and tem perature, 30.5, Centigrade. "MAZZONL "LAPPONL" ROME, July 17, 2:55 A. M. The pope's condition this morning: is less satisfactory than yesterday morning, and he suffered from much uneasiness and difficulty in breathing until relieved to some extent by an injection of caffeine. The new crisis in the pope's condition presented itself yesterday, when the doctors were con fronted on the one hand with the appar ently imperative necessity of an opera tion, and on tho other with the feeling that such an operation might prove fatal. This dilemma was canvassed by Dr. Lapponl and Dr. Mazzonl throughout the day. At their earlier conference there was some prospects that the operation might not occur, and the doctors left tho sickroom without arriving at any definite determination as to when it would take place. They expressed the belief, how ever, that a delay until today would servo a useful purpose In permitting a larger extraction of serum In case the operation was undertaken. No Vital Change. Meantime, the pope continued In a state of great depression. Thanks- to a fairly good afternoon's sleep, the physicians were able to issue a bulletin at 7:25 P. M show ing that there had been no vital change in the progress of the disease, though the same serious rapidity of respiration as -was noticed in the morning had to be again recorded. So painful had the latter become that one of those present in tho sickroom described the pontiff as literally panting for his life's breath. Later the pope -was sufficiently at easo to receive Cardinal Rampolla, and his holiness conferred upon him the enlarged authority made necessary by the present Illness for the executive administration of papal affairs. It Is understood that one result of this action probably .will bo the speedy appointment of a successor to Monslgnore Volponl as secretary of the consistcrlal congregation. A telegram from the Associated Press having been forwarded to Cardinal Ram polla, Informing him that on Sunday, July 12, prayers were offered in Protestant churches In tho United States for the re covery of Pope Leo, the cardinal has re plied through tho following1 letter from the secretaryship of state of his holl ness: , Message to Protestants. "Dear Sir: Tho communication for warded by you has been most gratifying to the cardinal secretary of state, my master. His eminence hopes that tho holy father's health will allow him. when tho opportune moment comes, to inform his holiness of the contents or the tele gram." "The very great desire always felt by his holiness for the reunion of the dis sident churches will certainly render this demonstration of the American Protestant churches most acceptable. "With true sentiments of esteem, I re main, Tour devotea cervant. "GIACOMA DELLACHEESA, "Substitute Secretary of State. "Rome, July 16, 1903." Traits' in Rampolla. The tenacity of Pope Leo Is most admir able, not only In his. organism, but oven in his- feeling. The .best example thereof is perhaps tho continual proofs of con fidence that his holiness bestows on Car dinal Rampolla, who after serving the pope for7 16 years is now being made the object of bitter attcks, especially during the last period, because of the Franco phile attitude of the papacy. The pon tiff seems to have had an intuition that -while he Hve3 with one foot in tho grave Cardinal Rampolla'Sy adversaries are .be ginning to take advantage of his tottering power to pull down the Idol which until yesterday they worshiped so and so his holiness leaves nothing unattmepted to show the world up to the last moment how much he trusts his secretary of state. Xo one was. admitted to the sick room today except the cardinal secretary of state, who was-only allowed in on the re peated request of.; Pope Leo, who said to him that he dceiredJio confirm and extend the power his emujj-nce already exercises because of: his position and authorized him to take measures which in ordinary times would necessitate the direct intervention of the pontiff "In recognition of his per sonal devotion to. the pontiff and the ser vices he had rendered to the church." The pope was much pleased when Car dinal Rampolla Informed him of the -universal manifestation of sympathy toward his holiness, coming from all, even from non-CathollIcs. TAKES COMMUNION AT MASS. Pathetically Solemn Cereaony Held in Adjoining: Chapels. ROME, July 16. The pope's condition today again assumed a grave aspect. Be sides the continuance of the pontiffs ex treme weakness, the doctors' report in dicated tho ominous prospect of another operation for the removal of the pleuretlc liquid. The pope continued restless, but had several periods of comparative ease. During oiie of these he gave another evi dence of his remarkable vitality by taking noiy communion auring the celebration of mass in .honor of the Madonna of the Carmelites; The ceremony was held in tho chapel adjoining the sickroom, tho doors being qpen. It was a pathetically solemn events as by the pope s request. those participating, besides Dr. Lapponl and Pio Centra', included a number of his trusted domestics, five sweepers and two porters. Tho doctors are unable tb announce definitely when the next operation will be performed. They fear It may become necessary this evening or tomorrow morn ing, but they are determined to defer It until It Is Imperative, fearing that the enfeebled condition of the patient may be taxed beyond the final limit. Toward noon the pontiff dropped off Into an uneasy sleep. when Dr. Mazzonl visited the pontiff this morning, the latter said the past night had been one of the worst he had experienced. He spoke of the oppression on his chest, the difficulty in breathing and the uncontrollable restlessness, giv ing him. In fact, no peace in any position. Dr. .Lapponl said the pope-had called for him -very often during the night, taking frequent restoratives, especially meat broth, orangeade and tamarind water. He felt cotter, however, after the celebration ot mass, as though the communion had calmed him. In fact, -he doctors pro ceeded with a thorough examination of his t.iorax without fatiguing him too much. They found the liquid in the pleura augmented but not gathered in such quantities as to endanger the pa tient's life by producing pressure on the heart or through asphyxia, which might occur If there was any pressure on the lower part of the bronchial tube. On occountvif the extreme weakness of the pontiff, no -operation for extracting the liquid will be performed until It is abso lutely Indispensable. Rut the operation might be performed tonight or tomorrow morning. The doctors hesitate to again perform thoracocenteses (drainage of the pleura), fearing that the effect of the operation itself, involving the possibility of pressure, on tho lungs, and consequently of the whole apparatus of circulation, might be fatal. The secretion of urine has slightly aug mented In the last 24 hours, having reached 40 cubic centimeters. It Is still greatly insufficient. The doctors, how ever, received many congratulations from many authorities, with most of whom they are not acquainted, on their treat ment of the pontiff. Among those Is a letter to Dr. Lapponl from Professor Hen ri Huchard, a member of the Academy of Medicine at Paris. PASSED DAY OF PATE. ' Pope's Premonition Is Not Ful filled. ROME, July 16. The fateful day of 'the Carmelite Madonna, on which Pope Leo had a premonition he would die, has ar rived. Early this morning his holiness awoke and Immediately began repeating prayers to the Madonna, speaking with such fervor that his valet. Centra, hur ried from on adjoining room. Pope Leo, bearing Centra's voice, said: "Ah, Pio! Your task is nearly done, Today is the fete of tho Carmelite Ma donna." Still later, with the same Idea In' mind. the pope asked for one of his private secretaries. Monslgnore LinI, to have him say mass In the chapel next to his bed room, with the door between the two apartments open. In the middle of the mass Pope Leo received communion like one who really saw visions of coming cuss. Preparations for Death. PARIS. July 17. According to a dis patch from Rome preparations for the pope's death are continuing at the Vat! can. The Sisters of the Order of St Vln cent are sewing mourning hangings for the court of Charlemagne. Cardinal Oreglia has decided that no unauthor ized person shall set foot In the Vatican during the conclave. Accordingly he has had a special medal struck, bearing on one side the word "Interregnum" and on the other "July, 1S03,'. without which no one will be allowed to enter after the pope's death. Gibbons Arrives at Havre. HAVRE, July 1G. The steamship La Touraine. on which Cardinal Gibbons Is a passenger, arrived here today. The Car dinal will spend the night here and pro ceed tomorrow to Paris, where he will remain pending the announcement of the Pope's death, whereupon he will go to Rome. Dr. Lapponl's Son Expelled. ROME, July 17. The Dtx Neuville Sie cie's correspondent at Rome says that Dr. Lapponl s son, who spread reports favorable to Cardinal Rampolla, has been expelled from the Vatican by orders of Cardinal Oreglia. Conciliation Board Decisions. WILKES BARRE, Pa., July 16. The first decisions of the conciliation board which relate to some of tho grievances in the Hazleton region were made public today. Only three of the 19 trrievnnees ssirrnilttmi by President Dettrey, of that district, were decided. Two favor tho contention of the men and one Is against them.

OREGONIAN NBVS BUitEAU. Wash ington, July 1&. Another BO-called vic tory for Secretary Hay and the "open door" is announced today by reason of the fact that China and Russia agree to open some ports- In Manchuria. The fact Is, Russia has all along been on record and made pledges to do Just this thing, and the United States Government has been assured from the beginning of trade privileges In Manchuria as long as Russia had control. The main proposition in which England and Japan have undertaken to interest the United States Is to drive Russia out of Manchuria entirely. Unpopularity.. of. tho recent Administration movement against Russia has been so apparent that this Government is glad to go no further with England and Japan. Tho so-called victory of our diplomacy simply means a restoration of more cordial relations, but the determination of Rus sla yet to control Manchuria has not been changed. OPEN TREATY PORTS. Assurances Received From Chinese Government. WASHINGTON, July 16. Tho Man churlan question has been settled satis factorily to this Government, Assurances have been received from the Chinese gov ernment that It will in the near future open as treatv ports several ports now- closed to the world's trade. The Russian eovernment has conveyed formal assur ance to tho United States Government that It will not in any way oppose such opening. The ports to be opened are not yet speci fied, but It Is supposed they are Moukdcn, the principal port of Manchuria, and Ta Tung Kao, at the mouth of the Yalu River. Tho State Department Is highly gratified at this outcome, feeling that It has secured not f only for American cpm- merce but for the commerce of the world at large very substantial gains. Places to Be Opened. Respecting the two ports mentioned as likely to be opened, namely, Moukden and Ta Tung Kao, it may be said that both politically and from a trade point of view tho latter port Is apt to prove the more Important, though the place is so little known that "the name Is not to be found on many of the best charts. It lies on tho right bank of the Yalu River not far from Its mouth, and It Is close to the Corean town of Weju, an Important trade center which will undoubtedly provo to be tributary to the port. At present Ta Tung Kao does not amount to much, but rapid development Is "looked for as soon as it becomes a treaty port. Moukden Is at the head of navigation on Liao River, and is the point from which Caravans start through Manchuria and Siberia. It is now the largest port In Manchuria next to NIu Chwang. Talcing Careful Steps. It now develops that the meeting" of Russian officials at Port 'Arthur, Just concluded, was but one of the steps, though an Important one, which the St. Petersburg government had planned In execution of Its purpose to place matters of International administra tion in Manchuria In such condition that the ports desired by the United States and Japan could be opened to trade without causing disturbance or Involving undue sacrifice of proper Rus sian interests. It already had been rep resented that much of the friction that had" grown Out of tho Manchurian ques tion was caused by a sort of triple yet Independent administration of affairs in Manchuria,- by representatives of the dlf ferent "branches of the Russian govern ment. The result was that one official would not feel bound by the pledges made by another, so that foreign nations com plained of bad faith. It is understood that now, following the Port Arthur confer ence, a compact and responsible direc tion of affairs has been arranged for and orders Issued from St. Petersburg are certain to meet with speedy and exact compliance. Although no set time is -mentioned in the promise to open the ports. It ia believed that this will follow soon after the Russian evacuation in Sep tember. It Is now known that the negotiations which have terminated so successfully today so far as broad lines are con cerned, for only details remain to bo ad justed, were practically brought to their present phase by Secretary Hay and Count Casslnl. at a meeting at the Rus sian Embassy on June 2S, the day be fore the Secretary departed for Newport, for tho Ambassador then had in hand the necessary authorization from his own government to make the pledges whfch are now in process of redemption. The pledges wero reduced to writing by Mr. Hansen, tho Russian Charge, during his call at the Stats Department today. It now remains for Mr. Conger to de fine In the trade treaty which ho Is ne gotiating with China the terms and con ditions under which the new ports are to be opened. It may be stated that had the United States even cared to pursue a Belflsh policy in this matter. It might easily have secured promises of special privileges from Russia, but Secretary Hay has held to tho broader doctrine of the open floor In Manchuria for the whole world. STRUGGLE FOR THE TRADE. American. Consul at NIu Chwang Sends Warning. WASHINGTON. July 16. Simultaneously with the promise to open up Manchuria to the world's trade comes a report to tho Bureau of Commerce and Labor from United States Consul Miller, at NIu Chwang, which thus far is the only open port in Manchuria, respecting the cotton goods trade of that province. He says that the great market for cotton goods In Manchuria Is attracting the earnest atten tion of Russian manufacturers at Moscow. They are seeking to capture a good share of the J12.170.000 worth of cotton goods trade that annually comes through this port, and are offering most tempting In ducements to merchants to go to Moscow to purchase their supplies. The Consul refers to a dispatch to the Minister at Pekln, In which the latter mentioned that a Russian agent had taken a number of merchants to Moscow to make a contract for the Importation of drills Imitating American products. The Consul reports the return of these mer chants to NIu Chwang because tho drills were not quite up to the American stand ard in quality. The completion of tho Siberian Railway. the Consul says, has brought a new factor into the great cotton goods trade of North China, and American manufacturers must bo alive to the situation and adjust their business arrangements to meet these new conditions, If they wish to hold their trade. The volunteer fleet, heavily subsidized by the Russian government. Is bringing Russian goods to North China at very low freight rates, and these goods are being entered at Port Arthur and Dalny with out paying any customs duties; besides, the port charges for ships are nominal and there are no pilot charges. American goods go first to Shanghai, where customs duties and port charges, storage and handling are paid, and are then reshipped to Nlu Chwang, where freight, pilotage, port and handling charges are again paid. This fleet con sists of 14-sttramor."with a total tonnage" of 38,481 tons. JAPANESE ARE NOT PLEASED. Relieve Great Britain's Attitude Not Entirely Friendly. LONDON, July 16. Both the Foreign Office and Japanese Legation say they are without advices as to the result of the conference of Russian officials at Port Arthur. The Japanese officials are dlsap pointed at the attitude of Great Britain, which they believe Is In the direction of endeavoring to restrain Japan's activo policy in China, The reciprocal visits of King Edward and President Loubet are regarded as an indication that Great Britain Is seeking to maintain such relations with France (Concluded on Second Page.)

A second day of picturesque political maneuvering In tho stato convention of the Kentucky Repub licans failed to culminate in the final grand surprise of a winning dark horse whoso coming had been hinted at and whose followers during yesterday's ses sions set the political managers to guess ing. Colonel Morris B. Belknap, of Louis ville, a wholesale merchant, widely known throughout tho country, received the nom ination for Governor on the first ballot. His delegates, contrary to predictions, stuck to him, though how much of their tenacity can be charged to the announce ment by ex-Governor William 6. Bradley that he was not a candidate can only bo conjectured. Mr. Belknap was nominated after an ardent supporter of Mr. Bradley had placed the ex-Governor in nomination and the follow6rs of Augustus E. Wilson had tacitly withdrawn tho man supposed to be Mr. Belknap's nearest competitor by fall ing to present his name. The threatened . stampede to Bradley was quelled by an emphatic declaration that he would not be a candidate, but for some unknown reason tho convention officers called his name during the ballot and he received a greater number of votes than Clifton J. Pratt, who had made an active canvass. The resolutions, after congratulating the, people of the United States upon the "ur( paralleled prosperity achieved under Na tional Republican politics," says: J Platform Indorses Roosevelt. "We stand for the continuance of exist ing Republican financial and tariff poli cies. "We express our highest appreciation, of tho record that President Roosevelt has made In continuing the great work begun by William McKinley, and In himself deal ing with the new problems that he has had to solve. In his handling of the Phil ippine question, in his firm management of the Venezuelan crisis, in his wise and courageous course with reference to the anthracite coal strikes, in his honest ef forts to secure Justice to Cuba. In his zeal for the Panama Canal, In his vigorous de-" mand for official purity and honesty and punishment of the corrupt and dishonest. In his resolute stand against the closing of Chinese ports to our trade. In the suc cess achieved by his practical efforts to enforce the law against unlawful com binations, and by the encouragement ho has given to the laying of a cable across the Pacific which brings us Into closer touch with the Philippines than we were with Louisiana Territory ik California when acquired. He has shown himself a strong Executive, as he is an Ideal citi zen, and he heartily and enthusiastically are for his nomination for the Presidency In 1S04. ft Lawlessness Is Denounced. "We denounce assassinations and law lessness, whether in Servia or Kentucky, as destructive of civilization, and call upon the enlightened intelligence of the, state, through its legislative executive and Judicial agencies, to employ remedies to re-establish order and punish crime within our borders. "We especially arraign the present state chief executive for so exercising the par don power as to subserve political and partisan purposes with the certain effect , of encouraging crime by virtually render ing criminals of Democratic political faith immune from punishment." Nominations for Governor were reached late In the afternoon, when the names of Clinton B. Pratt and Morris B. Belknap were offered. Mr. Wilson's backers did not respond when his congressional dis- trict was called. The surprise came when the Eleventh District was called and State Senator Kash arose and sprung the name ' of a dark horse. ex-Governor William O. Bradley. The speech was a masterpiece of natural oratory'df the fervid Kentucky style, ana movea tne aeiegates to a wiiu demonstration. Mr. Bradley finally quelled the tumult by shouting: BrndleyfDcclares Himself. "I have declared for four months that I would not accept this nomination. I am an honest man, and while I thank my friends, I adhere to my original resolution. I cannot bo a candidate for Governor." A negro delegate provoked wild enthusl- (Concluded on Second Page.) i
