In the pocket of his coat was the programme of exercises and a copy of the speech he wae to deliver. In a vest pocket was his gold watch and in his trousers pockets §10 in money. His gold-headed cane, which he always carried, stood in the corner. Ail the afternoon and evening the police and the Sherift's officers have been searching, but up to a late hour to-night nothing that sheds light on the strange disappearance had been found. The conjecture is that /in a temporary fit of C¢ementia he rode away on his bicycle and committed suicide in some unfrequented spot. The circumstances of Boring’s life lend color to this theory. Ten years ago he was a wealthy &nd pepular man in political circles. When he disappeared be was practically penniless.

Newspaper-in Port Arthur Responsible for This - Statement. PR S B ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.—According to the newspaper Novikrai, published at | Port Arthur, Russia has Informed China that she is compelled to exclude foreign- ers from Manchuria and postpone the opening of Manchurian ports, owing to the presence of Englishmen and Ameri- cans_ who, in disguise, are engaged in espionage.

TOKIO, June 27.—The Osaka Mainichi is- sued an extra on June t is generally discredited in Tokio. It stated that Prince Ching went to Mr. Lessar and told him all about the British and Japanese joint protests and warnings regarding Manchu- ria. M. Lessar laughed and told Prince Ching to take no notice. He added that Russia was quite prepared for all contin- gencles. After conversing for some time Prince Chirg agreed to do as M. Lessar said. General Alexeiff has telegraphed to St. Petersburg and to the Russian Minister at Peking that the Russian troops distrib- uted throughout Manchuria are in perfect readiness and all arrangements ére com- plete. The Japanese press continues to exhibit excitement as to the Russian attitude in Manchuria and on the borders of Korea, but the Jiji and other papers of high- the presence of any “crisis,”” and appeal for a rousing of na- tional sentiment to Insist upon a peace- able settlement of outstanding Far East- ern problems. General Kouropatkin, Russian War Minister, left Kobe on the 25th inst. for Nagasaki on the warship Askold, and after a short stay of two days at the eastern port of Japan was to leave for Port Arthur en route for St. Petersburg, which he expected to reach between the 15th and 28th of July.” On the way he was to review the Russian troope. The Askold was accompanied by the Nooik. A Japanese cruiser and three torpedo- boat destroyers left Japan for Korean waters on the 25th inst. The latest announcement by Lord Cran- borne in the House of Commons on June 25, indicating that Russia intends to keep faith in Manchuria, has already had some effect and the Japanese press this morn- ing adopts a more optimistic tone. —————— PREMIER OF JAPAN RESUMES HIS OFFICE Political Crisis Is Passed and Mar- quis Ito Accepts Presidency of the Privy Council.

ISTER 1FORM PLOT | frontier J> . o 2, day (to-day) with a fleet, which will co- operate in a general attack on the city. It is learned through deserters that General Gomez, before entering the val- ley of the Orinoco, defeated the revolu- tionists under General Antonio Paredes, who surrendered Puerto Cabello in 1889, and who was subsequently captured by the Liberals near Irapa. General Gomez thus secured the safety of his rear guard. Notwithstanding local public opinion to the contrary, it is not believed that Gen- eral Rolando, who holds Ciudad Bolivar, will be able to resist the Government’'s attack.

All Symptoms Now Point to an Imminent Disso- lution. OME, July 14, 7:30 a. m.— I The Pope has passed a somewhat restless and agitated night. He awoke at 5:30 o’clock, but shortly afterward &ropped again into a heavy sleep. The Pope called out sev- eral times in his sleep, and s/hen he awoke during the night showed signs of depres- sion, with his ideas somewhat confused. The patient’s breath- ing is again difficult. He says he feels very tired. — % ROME, July 14, 2:5 a. m.— “While there is life there is hope,” was all the conso- lation that Dr. Lappon! would give to- night in admitting that Pope Leo’s condi- tion was “‘very grave.” The Pontiff has suffered another relapse and he lies this morning in a more critical condition than at any time since the mid- dle of last week. The semi-comatose con- dition into which he fell at midnight and the confused state of his heretofore lucid mind on his awakening at an early hour this morning, accompanied by still great. er depression than during yesterday, are regarded as symptoms of the gravest na- ture and as pointing to an imminent dis- solution. Even in the early evening med- ical opinion was less pessimistic and Dr. Mazzoni belleved the end was not within sight. He expressed the bellef that unless the disease took an unexpected turn there was no reason to apprehend death for two or three days. This statement, how- ever, did not relieve the anxiety of those who know what powerful stimulants are being administered. Some attribute the Pontiff's extreme weakness to-night to the excessive mental and physical efforts undertaken yesterday in recetving visit- ors, hearing mass, etc. EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS. Never before has the patient’s weakness progressed as it did vesterday. For the first tfme since his illness the Pontiff asked to have the shutters almost closed, as the light hurt his eyes, and, at the same time, contrary to his custom, he begged to be left as quiet as possible. Another noteworthy symptom of his awakening condition was the docility with which he took his medicine and nourish- ment. Previously—indeed, during his whole life—Pope Leo has been against the prescriptions of doctors or anything that had the aspect of being forced upon him. His feeling of fatigue and indifference was interpreted as a sign that his vitality was fast diminishing. Late last evening nine Cardinals, Including Satolli and Martinelll, were admitted to the sick- room, but the Pope could not even speak to them, merely giving them his hand to kiss. VITAL ORGANS EXHAUSTED. Dr. Rossoni was reported to have sald in an interview yesterday: “The Pope’s pulse reached %0 pulsations and over. Just calculate how many times it has pulsated in ninety-three years and you understand that in his present condi- tion all of his organs and the pulse must end by getting so tired that they will stop forever.” At the American embassy it was said that no request, official or otherwise, had been received up to yesterday for infor- mation regarding the Pope’s condition. King Edward has instructed the British Embassador, Sir Francis Bertie, to tele- graph twice daily the state of his Holi- ness. The Tribuna printed last night that the Pope's real illness was cancer of the lver. Dr. Mazzonl characterizes the statement as a falsehood without an atom of foundation. PARIS, July 14.—The Rome correspond. ent of the Eclaire telegraphs that when the Pope was not in a somnolent condi- tion yesterday he suffered from nervous contraction in all his limbs and was un- able to bear the contact of the bed clothes, which consequently had to be supported by wooden hoops. According to a dispatch received here from Rome, the Pope's strength was heavily taxed and his sufferings increased by the number of visitors, altogether sixty-seven persons, whom he received during the past couple of days. Eighteen Cardinals, fifteen relatives.and a number of high papal officials*imposed their visits upon him and, as the Pope wished to say a few words to each, the fatigue caused fresh progress of his mal: —_——— Ball Is Given at Marlborough Ho LONDON, July 13.—In the beauti temporary ballroom, erected gon .;:f Marlborough = House, the gave their first ball since the death of Queen Victoria.

OOPS MOUDE UPON YAQUIS Mexican JSoldiers Will Suppress the Indians -Who Terrorize Sonora I + MEXICAN ARMY OFFICER WHO HAS MUSTERED TROOPS IN SONORA TO MAKE A FINAL AS- SAULT ON THE MURDEROUS YAQUIS. — Special Dispatch to The Caill - UAYMAS Mexico, July 13.—A dispatch to the Sonora Dally Mail of this city from Torrin states that General Luls E. Torres has arrived In that place with a body of troops determined to crush the bands of ralding Yaqui Indians, who continually harass the ranchers along the Yaqui River. General Torres only recently returned from the City of Mexico, where a plan of suppression was formulated. Torres kad given up all hope of ever wholly conquering the Indians as long as they could find shelter In the fastnesses of the Sierra Madre range. He now proposes to open up the Indian retreats to civilization by building roeds into the heart of the mountains, over which Federal troops and rurales can be moved. General Torres proposes to patrol these roads with mount- ed troops so as to make them safe for all kinds of traffic: His plans also include a public road along each side of the Yaqui ‘River and the territory on each side of all roads will be cleared, so as to make an attack from ambush an impos- sibility. Without a safe retreat the Yaquis will be compelled to lay down their arms and go to work on the ranches, and the ranchers and residents of the towns along the river will be able to go from ranch to ranch and town to town without fear of molestation. The roving bands of Yaquis have been augmented of late by Indlan laborers, who deserted the ranches in the moun- tains, preferring the life of the savage. The outlawed bands subsist by raids on ranches and travelers. Not long ago a band of Indians captured two children of a wealthy propri- etor near Torrin and held them for ransom. These Yaquis were pursued and when overtaken they fired on the pursuing party, but seeing defeat was inevitable they abandomed the children and fled to 'the mountains. PURE FOOD LAW HURTS GERMANY CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, July 18.—Germany. and the Unfted States are upon the threshold ot trade warfare. German wines, beer, salt, sausages, bev- erages and other focd products which have been exported to this country In Increasing quantitles and valued at many millions of dollars annually will be barred from this country under the operation of the new pure food law, which has just gone into effect. Officials of the Agricultural Depart- ment make no secret that the pure food law is mainly de- signed to counteract the discriminations practiced by Ger- many against American meats, fruits, canned goods, lum- ber and other articles of export to the fatherland. Within a few days the first consignment of German foods Hable to Inspection under the law, which went into effect on July 10, will arrive-and unless shippers have conformed to the rigld requirements of the new law the cargo will be re- Jected. The important statement is made at the Agricultural De- partment that under this law German sausage, sparkling and still wines, salt, beverages, beer and other food products will be rejected and If not taken back to the port from which the cargoes wera shipped they will be destroyed. How se- riously this will affect’' German trade relations with us may be gathered from the fact that imports of spgrkiing and stiil wines from that country amount annually to more than $1,300,- 000; imports of hops to more than $600,000; of maited liquors to nearly $300,000; of sausages to nearly $200,000; of sausage casings to $19),000, while various other imports of food stuffs from Germany aggregating several millions annually will be severely affected by the new law. An official from the German embassy called upon the Agricultural Department authorities to find out what the new law signifies and to convey infdrmation to his Government as to its possible effect upon German exports to this country. It is learned here that the German Government ia consider- ably worried by the new law. Dr. Wiley says that it is sim- the adoption of the rule, “measure for measure”; of, a8 he puts it jocosely, “sausage for sausage.” :
