Louis exposition, interrupted by the fllness and death of Pope Leo XIII, have been resumed. Although the personal opinion of Pope Pius on the subject is not known, the Vatican officials think it will be favorable to the project of hav- ing the Holy See represented, if officially invited by the United States Government by means of an invitation similar to those sent to the European powers. Before Pope Leo died the wish was expressed to have the Pope’s jubilee presents ex- hibited at the exposition, like those of the late Queen Victoria, and it was proposed to send the same ship for both exhibits. King Edward himself is said to have proposed sending his mother's presents, but Pope weo's health being at that time precarious the Vatican authorities feared that if he died while the jubilee gifts were away it might create an awkward situation. Now the questions arise wheth- er with the death of Pope Leo those predents have not lost their interest and whether something else would not be bet- ter. Many suggestions on the subject are made, and it is remarked that the Vatican library alone has precious works, unique in the world, besides documents of spe- cial interest to the United States as being connected with its history.

B3 FAREMWELL N VERSE FORM PEKING, Aug. 20.—The Chinese reform- er Shen Chien, like the Filipino patriot Rizal, sent his farewell message to the world in the form of verses written in prison on the eve of his execution. The #gpirit of the two valedictories is much the same. Chinese poetry is difficult to transiate accurately, but the following is a clear rendition of the young journal- ist’s verses into English: Loaded with clanking chains I am taken from prison. 1,27 the Chen Chih gate I ahall lay down my ife.

Shen Chien had been particularly bold in denouncing the apathy of the Govern- ment toward the Russian absorption of Manchuria. A short time before his ar- rest he published two clauses of what pur. ported to be a secret treaty by which China conceded Newchwang to the control of Russia. Being barred from communi~| cation with the outside world in prison, he died with the belief, as the verses show, that he had been betrayed by twg officials, Ching Kuan and Chung Lang, the latter a friend with whom he had quarreled because he had revealed the treaty. J The Chen Chih gate is the gate through which criminals are led from the board of punishments to the execution ground. “Five loyal and six learned, all Huk- wang men of fame,’ were the reformers from Kunan and Kwangtung who were beheaded in 1898 by order of the Dow- a secret treaty Ching Kuan and Chung Lans | ANEEENSNSSNNENNSENEESE ager after the coup d'etat depriving the Emperor of power.
