Among the Cardinal who belong to

among them a feeling of impatience ia

Symptoms of Blood Voiaonlag. .
Symptoms of blood poisoning appeared
in the Pope'a case at noen today, and
It la now atated at the Vatican that It
depends entirely on the progress 6f the
dread symptoms whether, hla holiness
will last daya of merely hours.
The physicians In attendance hold out
little hope. for. notwithstanding
the amelioration In the symptoma, it la
simply impossible for the organism of
the pontiff to have energy necessary to
eliminate toxic affection which has pre
sented grave aymptoms.
Pleural liquid does not seem to be
'regatherlng, but his holiness' general
condition Is not so tranquil and his de
pression Is greater. When Dr. Massoni
visited the Pope late this morning the
patient complained of feeling worse
'than yesterday, adding:
I "I therefore cannot do certain work.
, I wish to."
I Dr. MaSzonl atates that the cyanoala
tf the Pope's fingers is spreading over
the hands.
Tomorrow X Shall Die."
Toward noon today while in conversa

attendants, his holiness said: "I am
aorry I caanot be present at tomorrow's
.service, because tomorrow I ahall die."
Early this afternoon he had another
fainting fit.

EVANSVILLE Ind.. July 8 Eight
companies of militia and one battery of
artillery are now stationed here. The
Qovenor states that he can throw 8,000
more men Into the city at a moment's
notice, should the situation demand It.
It Is believed, however, that the pres
ence of the soldiers haa had the effect
of quieting the disturbing element and
entirely cooling Its ardor. Still there
are threats made, and this morning sev
eral posters are seen about the city
hung during the night which state Ir.
Klarlng letters that when the soldiers
leave the work of avenging will be
again taken up.
The list of fatalities as a result of the
riots Monday night now show nine dead,
one dying, three fatally injured, and 21
in serious conditions.
Sheriff Krats Is guarded within the
walls of the Jail, as It Is not considered
ssfe for him to appear In the streets,
owing to the Intense feeling against him
for the shooting of the members of the
rioting party.
Negroes are leaving the city by the
hundreds, and by every available means.
In view of this fact, it ia not believed, -by
the authorities that any serious trou-t
ble will be occasioned by the enemies,
of the race.
It la now considered safe to say that
the trouble Is about over, and that nor- .
mal conditions will obtain from this ,
time on. The troops will remain in
the city probably for a fortnight.
('apt. Blom of Co. A. which encoun
tered the mob Monday, haa issued a
statement In which he says that the
soldiers a ere not to blame for tha
.hooting. He state that the men shot
to defend themselves, and that tha first
shot was fired by a rioter.
After several consultations last night
and this morning Judge Rasch decided
to order the negro. Brown, tha slayer
of Policeman Maasey. and th direct
cause of the recent rioting, to be re
turned to this city for trial. This will
be done, tonight If the negro Is able to
travel. He will be arraigned Thursday.
No trouble Is anticipated, as the great
display of troopa Is considered sufficient
to deter the rioters.

THREE DESPERADOES
CAPTURED IN TACOMA
Police of Puget Sound City Surprise a Trio of Bad-
Characters in Bed and Believe Them to Be
Robbers Who Have Worked in Portland
(Journal Special Service.)
TAPAMA. Wash.. Julv 8. Three men
are under arrest here suspected of be
ing concerned In the street car hold-up
here Saturday night. They have also
been identified as the men who held up
a ulnnn in Seattle a few nights ago
and robbed the bartender of 840. It Irf
thought they are the desperadoes who
hov-o w-nrklnc their business for
all it is worth of late in Portland, Ta-
coma and Seattle. Tne suspecis were
taken unawares and were In bed when
the officers broke la and made the ar
rest.
The room was searched ana 'nearly
SO -in nickels, dimes and quarters waa
found, together wun lour revolvers.
They gave their" names at. the station
as R. Baker, aged 85, a bollermakor;
James Ryan, aged 46. a laborer, and
John Welch, aged 40 years, a laborer.
Chief of Police Hunt and Captain of,
detectives Simmons are of th opinion
that, at least one, and possibly two.
of the men arrested In Tacoma are thosaj
who terrorized Portland some time ago.
So strong is the chief's belief that ha
decided, when shown the above dis
patch, to send Detective Joe Day tat
Tacoma to see the prisoners.
There Is one thing the police cannot '
understand about the arrests, and that
Is that there is no young man meritlonod
in the dispatch. It will be remembered
that all of those who described th hold
ups who were working hero,' described ,
one as being a boy of about 18 years.
Detective, Day; stated this morning that
unless 'the. toy Is mong the trio taey
