Rome, July 12, 12:10 a.m.-"I think
he will live to be 100," said an Italian
priest In Uw court yard of the Vatican
lust night a he read the last bulletin
regarding th Pope's condition. "I
don't believe buletlns." said another
"I don t either." chimed In a third, "but
It doe not do to aay ao here."
These expres slon accurately repre'
Kent t-'e differences of opinions exhib
ited by those who have to rely fr In
format bin regarding the pontiff 'lll
neoi In an official bulletin.. Cardinal
Kutolll, in converaatlon with a'reprt
entatlve of the Aeaoclated Preen, ea'd
that life wa only kept In the tired body
of the pontiff by conttant ue of pow
erful atlmulanta, and other prraona eg
ually reliable who aaw the pope yeater
day and who had een him In prevloua
days of his Illness, agree with Cardinal
Sutolll, In saying that death has made
all Its ravages, save the separation of
sou! and body. Tet the doctor an
nounce to th public that Pope Leo's
general condition I satisfactory. An,
explanation of the apparent contradic
tions Ilea In the fact that the doctors ex
pected hi' holiness to die long before
this, and now are exercising In their bui
letlns an excess of caution and a com'
parative method of expression which Is
Incomprehensive to the lay mind. More
over, the extraordinary vitality of their
patient ha . so to speak, annihilated
every medical theory held by the doc
tors fn IUJ. In rrivate the doctors
nary disagree as to the number of days
the struggle will last.
Though science still may be unable to
save the pope In Ms present Illness It
has at least afforded him a practically
painless day. Since Saturday morn
ing hi holiness Included In his pontifi
cal routine a peaceful sleep the dura
tion of which gave rise to some alunn
and several visits from his doctors and
audlencs with four or five cardinals.
For a man of his age In perfect health,
this Saturday would not have' been an

Agood Indian was found yesterday
men tn the employ of Contractor
Goodln In the east end. This estimable
red man has been good for .many years,
longer, perhaps, Than 'he was bad be
fore.
, The remnants, and several relics were
discovered about two feet from the sur
face In a lot owned by Mrs. H. U.
Anderson. The men were removing
dirt to fill up the alleyway adjoining
Cedar street when a skull, a few de
cayed bones, an Indian pipe, two mus
kets, a knife, several Mexican dollars
and a few American half dollars, were
brought to light. The pipe hoaa face
engraved upon It that bears a striking
likeness to Captain Merriwether Lewlsv
The half dollars are dated 1830, and the
barrels of the once trusty musket are
rusted nearly through. If the Indian
received a Christian burial, there Is no
aign of coffin or other mark tu prove
It, He was very likely a great chief,
however, as his personal ; property
would Indicate considerable wealth for

Crowds Sleep in New York Parks on
the Grass.
New York, July 11. Thousands of
persons slept peacefully In the parks of
Greater New York 'during the night do
spite the heat, secure tn the knowledge
that no policeman would awoken them
back to their oven-like tenements. One
of the most rigid police rules was or
dered suspended and the officers In all
boroughs were notified to see that no
orderly person availing himself of the
privilege was disturbed. The suspen
sion of the rule will continue during the
heated term. It had become almost
imperative that sf me such relief meas
ures should be taken by the city offi
cials as men and boys had ben sleep
ing for two nights on benches and
lawns all over the city.

Mexicans Make Trouble For The Ag
f j .( gremlve Japanese.
New York. July 11. A bloody battle
between 150 Japanese and the same
number of Mexicans has been raging
for five day on the desert betwwen
Karstow nod Vlctorvllle, according to
a Tribune dispatch from Lo Angettw.
Four are reported dead and about 50
wounded and the end of the struggle Is
not tn sight. .' The. combatant are all
employed by the Santa Fe Railroad,
laying new roils, and the company has
been forced to suspend operation In
that ecflort. ;' " I
The Japanese1 and Mexican had been
working peacenbly ' aide by (lde for
some time, but on Monday a Japanese
made an insulting remark about a Mex
lean and the fight began. When the
two workmen came to blows side were
quickly formed and line drawn. Tooli
used in railroad building and boulders
from the bottoms of the Mojave river
were the weapons and In a few mlnutes
many head were cracked.'? The Japan
ese were finally driven across the river
amid shower of stones, almost as eff
ective as bullet , their leader remain
ing In the front to the last.- Both sides
entrenched ' behind piles of sand and
many sallies have been made since.
The attacking force, ha invariably
been repulsed. . Two men were killed
Friday when the Japanese earthworks
were stormed by the Mexicans. t The
foreman Is making every effort to
patch np a truce, but the men seem de
termined to fight while any are left,
and It may be necessary to call out the
state troops to quell the fighters.
Mexicans all over the section are de
veloping a fierce hatred of the Japan
ese because the latter are supplanting
the Mexicans, In maay kinds of work,
demanding less wages as usual, but
giving better satisfaction.

Rome, July U. The great scourge of
the common people Is lottery, which is
In the hands of the - government and
which turn million Into the treasury
every year. The people buy tickets tn
the lottery at all times and the Invest
ment are much heavier when any
event out of the common take place.
Then they resort even to the na.wn. .
brokers to obtain money with which to
buy tickets. Naturally the pope's Ill
ness could not be overlooked and yea
tetilay thousand of dollars were spent
In this way, the favorite number being
Ss for the pope, 2S for the disease and
69 for a cardinal. It Is computed that If -these
numbers bad all won; the gov
ernment would have lost $1,000,000. How
ever, none were successful, so the mon
ey came out of the poor, who. with
characteristic elasticity of spirit, are
already saying that the numbers are
evidently those of next week and are
anxiouily watching the phases of th
pontiff's illness, so that they may be
able to make wagers with what they
consider a show of security.
