ROME, July 21.—The Vatican authorities are very much pleased with the mesgages of condolence received . from Secretary They feel a speclal gratification over messages from Protestant countries or those having no representative of the Holy See. o OME, July 21.—Cardinal Rampolla, interviewed by the correspondent of the Catholic Journal this morning, sald: “Leo lived to witness the triumph of his policy of peace—an experi- ence which filled him with an ineffable sense of gratitude and joy. The world’s tribute to the church, as exemplified by the papacy of recent years, contributed a warmth to the Pope’s final hours which the hand of death could not chill. Many times during his fillness we found his Holiness beaming like a happy child and learned on inquiry that he was thinking of the messages which were arriving from every part of the earth, testifying to the unity of Catholics and to their devotion to the Holy See. “Protestant messages of appreciation, ~ z LiA S - many of which were strong ang earnest, deeply gratified his Holiness. He regard- ed them as Indicating that the mists of prejudice were dissolving and that in- telligent people in all lands were acquir- ing ability to.see more clearly in religious matters. Leo's unfaltering and unques- tioning faith on the threshold of the fu- ture is an exaample of spiritual ascend- ency that surpasses description.” : MEMORIES THAT SURVIVE. Many beneficent memories survive the pain * and excitemént of the past few weeks. The. Liberal press, which Catholics accuse of having harped a% sneered at and prevaricated about Leo for a quarter of a century,-has overflowed with rever- ence and admiration for him in’ his’ role of Pontiff when he was stricken with dis- ease.

E, Wyo., July 2L.—A bloody battle was narrowly averted in the moun- tains six miles north of Thermopolis to- day, when Sheriff Fenton transferred Jim McLoud, the alleged murderer of Ben i { o Minnick, from the city jail at Thermopolis to the county jail at Basin, Sheriff Fenton left Thérmopolis at § o'clock with his prisoner under the es- cort of the Basin Light Artillery of forty men, and fifty deputies. Armed men had been sent out at sunrise and they report- ed that a large force of cattlemen and the friends of McLoud were camped on the trail near Cottonwood Creek and from preparations being made they intended to hold up the Sheriff and his party and deliver the prisoner. Consequently when Fenton lefl Thegrmopolis he went ahead expecting a battle. Scouts guarded the advance, the front and the rear and either flank, but when the cattlemen saw that the soldiers were alert for battle they quietly slipped away and by making a detour carried Therm- opolls. With them was Tom O'Day, the notorious character, who is alleged to have been mixed up in the killing of Min- nick and for whom Sheriff Fenton has a | warrant.

Was ington has been led to believe that th call of Secretary Hay, which was v unusual n view of the fact that the Se retary of State only on one previous oec- casion had called on an Embassador, was in the nature of an official call. The impression, too, was given out, anc that impression was not discouraged Count Cassini, that the Manchurian qu tion had been discussed and /that w Secretary Hay departed little was left to be done excepting the designation of the ports which should be opened. There are signs that there may again be some delay in completing the triumph of Secretary Hay in getting these open ports. Japan seems to have been left completely out of the matter and cables report that the Japanese Government is | seeking a new arrangement with Great | | | | Britain by whith these two Governments shall make a demand on Russia, not for two, but for five ports. ———— NOTORIOUS GERONIMO IS NOW A METHODIST Imprisoned Apache With a Bloody Record Becomgs a Worshiper and Confesses.
