(By Associated Press.) Rome, April 9.—The pope's condi tion is much improved, the fever ha: ing been greatly perature being only slightly above nermal. The pope still suffers grea: ¢cpression and weakness. The pope’s temperature reached 99 reduced, 1« grees this afternoon. It is reported rm unofficial quarters that the pon- iff is suffering from the difficulty | real soon. detnitely decided whether the legis- (] {tke negro collector of internal reve- | Lition ghal) be considered in an om- n lllb bill, or whether the severai schedules saall be considered sepa- rately. Acevetary of the 1reasury MceAdo ul brier subnait- < made reply o dhe by Senator Fletcher to the tregs vy department last Mareh, protest- ausainst the customs reorganiza- :on through an order issued by Pres- | ident Taft just before his retirement. I'he reorganization consolidates the «etire State of Florida into one cus- { toms district with headquarters at 1: cksonville. Senator Fletcher contends that there should be a collector at each port of entry in the State, and fail- ing in this he demands a collector at Tampa, Key West, Pensacola and Jacksonville. If, however, there is to be only one collector in the State, it is the opinion of Mr. Fletcher that )is headquarters should be at Tampa. The secretary of the treasury, in his letter to Senator Fletcher, says that he agrees that Tampa should be made headquarters, if the reorgani only one district. Senators Fletcher and Bryan and a!l of the congressmen are united in] their efforts to displace Joseph lLee, nue for Florida. They are cunfld:-n. that their efforts will be rewarded The strongest candidates of.respiration, thirst and prostration ; for this position are Dr. J. H.

PRESIDENT LOST FIGHT FOR OPEN CAUCUS. — (By Associated Pres.) Washington, April 9.—The House Democrats caucused again on the tariff Bill. They will caucus eack day for several days. The fight for 3n open caucus, led by the president. was lost last might «f Gainesville, and H. H. Lewis, of Marianna. The delegation is also much inter- ested in the appointments of United States marshals and district attor- neys for the northern and southerr districts of the State. It is not known tow soon the department of justice will take up these matters. The impression in Washington at this time is that President Wilson w11l not attempt immediately to han- dle the patronage situation as a gen- eral thing, but will expend his en- ergies for the present in handling the tariff matters in Congress This does not mean, however, that all patron- age will be si ed. It is re- rarded as certaln postoffice nom- inations, ete., made as va- cancies occur, and ft is likely alsd A his tem- | ation is to stand and there is to be tkat all other patronage matters that ave already been decided by the president will be made public. Bu: the president is not going to Tuni further trouble for himseli and the members of Congress until the party is 'well out of the wocds on the tariff problems. i=3 JAPANESE ARE ON THEIR EAR; MAKE COMPLAINT.
