Two Official Bulletin Giving; the Doe.
tors' Vier of the Pope' Condi
tionIncidents of the Day.
ROME. July 11, 6:40 a. m The usual
gathering of watchers, mostly Journalists,
witnessed from the piazza of St. Peter's
tat? opening of the windows of the papel
apartment this morning by the Pope's
faithful valet. Cintra. From what has
transpired from the sick room It appears
that no significant change has taken place
In the condition of the patient up to the
present hour. Dr. Lapponi succeeded in hav
ing Pope Leo take a sufficient quantity of
nourishment during the night.
Another operation performed ysterday
has brought further relief to the Pope and
by It the possibility of his life's tx ing pro
longed was increased, but It can hardly
be said the operation Improved his chances
of recovery. News Just received from the
Vatican says the Pope is now lying in
a restless condition, after having had a
good sleep during the early hours of the
morning.
As the immediate result of yesterday's
operation, the Pope spent a quiet and al
most painless day, with for his age, a
normal temperature, and he only more
strikingly exhibited his strength of con
stitution and intellect.
At tbe examination last evening the doc
tors could not perceive any regatherlng of
serum In the pleural cavity, but it was
feared that the presence of serum would
be detected to-day, thus rendering neces
sary perl aps another operation soon.
U.EIT CNTIL 2 A. M.
Shortly before midnight the condition of
the Pontiff was reported to have under
gone no change, and it was added that he
had Just dropped peacefully Into sleep. At
that hour all within the palace was quiet,
the Pontiff's apartment alone showing signs
of life. The Pope slept until 2 o'clock this
morning, when he woke up seemingly more
refreshed, and asked for food. His pulse
was taken and found to vary from 87 to 93.
His temperature was 96.8 and his breathing
Irregular.
Tbe latter part of the night was not so
good, owing to the restlessness and unea'i
ness of the patient. Dr. Lapponi has been
going almost every fifteen minutes to look
at the Pontiff, who did not notice the pres
ence of the doctor, being in a drowsy state.
Dr. Lapponi administered a dose of chloral
and gave the patient at the same time an
Injection of camphor caffeine.
A general feeling of tranquillity marked
the day in Rome yesterday. The self-confidence
of the patient permeates the people,
and especially the simpler folk, who go
about their day s work, postponing signs
of sorrow and mourning until from the sick
bed itself they hear the unequal struggle is
near ing its end. There is foretold, almost
apathetically, a repetitlou during the next
few days of that exceptional medical his
tory of recoveries and relapses which have
so astonished the world this week. That no
doctor will lend the weight of his opinK a to
uphold this popular impression in no way
affects the prevailing idea of the Romans.
Nothing Is more wonderful than the Pope
himself, they say; hence miracles are not
out of the question.
SCENES AT THE VATICAN.
The news of yesterday morning's opera
tion sent cardinals and ambassadors driv
ing hurriedly to the Vatican. The somber
black carriages and horses of the former,
relieved only by glimpses of the scarlet
robea worn by the pale-faced occupants.
contrasted strangely with the brilliant
equipages of the ambassadors. Outside
bt. Peter's the ordinary visitors hurried
past the Swiss Guards and ascended the
staircase leading to the Inner court of the
Vatican.
The sua beat fiercely on the plain white
shutters which shelter the Pope's room,
and ail yes were turned towards them.
Compared with the magnificence below.
with the bewildering colors of the papal
court and the rich attire of the guards,
the shuttered windows are pleasant-like in
tbeir simplicity. Another window caught
the eye. This was open and the sun
streamed in on Raphael's priceless fres
coes and lit up the great marble portico.
"Within there.' said a papal attendant,
-the rooms are all ready for Oreglia, th
cardinal deacon who will reign during the
inu -rcgnum."
Tbe same grim preparation is apparent
on ail sides. Count Pecci. a nephew of the
dying Pope, wearing a straw hat and flan
nels, sat yesterday in the Are engine house,
opposite the private entrance to the Vat
ican, chatting with the firemen. Carriage
after carriage drove into the court. The
French. German and other ambassadors
dea-eLded to make inquiries. Prince Mas
tints locking almost as venerable as the
Pope himself, the hesd of one of the most
ancient families in Rome, all the cardinals
and counUeaa bishops and priests came to
await the bulletin.
A small crowd of men, women and chil
dren of all descriptions besieged the d...r
where the news was to be given out. From
the Castle of Bt. Ar.gelo came the boom of
the midday gun and then the palatin guard
gave the signal for the anxious crowd to be
admitted. Passing through the corridor
each received a slip of white pap. r on
which the morning bulletin was already
printed. latently reading these papers, the
crowd filed out through another door past
he armed guard and into th- quiet streets.
During the remainder of the day hut few of
the public sought the Vatican. Then came
the night bulletin and far larger crowds
than had gathered during the day wandered
to the Vatican in the cool of the evening.
The Swiss guar da had received Instructions
to admit only a small portion of the in
quirers prior to the printing of the bulletin
ad von Oils raauieteU number almost
filled the court of the Vatican, while many
waited In suspense on the steps of St.
Peter's.
THE SECOND OPERATION.
Sernm Agsia Drawn from the Plearal
Cavity Official Bulletins
ROME, July 10. Two bulletins on the con
dition of the Pope were issued to-day. The
first, signed by Doctors Lapponi, Maszoni
and Rossonl, was posted at 10:30 a. m. It
read:
"The august patient passed the first part
of the night fairly peacefully, but after
wards the difficulty in his breathing became
more marked, coupled with, discomfort and
au increase of the feeling of oppression.
The pulse is small and weak, at the rate of
i Apyrxla was complete, and there was a
little diursis. A flow of endopleuritlc mat
ter belüg observed, a second operation was
decided upon and Immediately performed
by Dr. Maizoni. About a thousand
grammes of bloody serum was extracted.
The Pontiff bore the second operation very
well, and in consequence of it both the res
piration and the power of the heart at once
Improved."
At 9 p. m. the following bulletin was
. sued:
-During the day his Holiness had hours
of rest, without suffering. His pulse main
tains its frequency and force. This morn
ing, after the operation, his pulsation was
I 92 and his respiration 2 and his tempera
ture 4-3 centigrade. The.kianeys continue
functionallydencient. His general state Is
stationary.'
VISIBLY IMPROVED.
It will be seen from the bulletin that the
Pope's marvelous vitality still permits him
to maintain his struggle against death, al
though a portion of the night was passed in
sleepless waiting. He greeted his doctors
this morning with hopeful expression. It

PLOT TO THWART JUSTICE
ALLEGED CONSPIRACY BLOCKED
BY STATE'S ATTORNEY DINEEN.
Tito Witnesses in an Election Fraud
Case Said to Have Been Bribed
to Laave Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 10. A well-planned con
spiracy to defeat Justice and seriously in
terfere with the prosecution of the election
Judges and clerks who are under Indict
ment for frauds perpetrated at the recent
Judicial balloting in the Eighteenth ward
was blocked to-day by State's Attorney
Dineen. The conspiracy involved the names
of two of the most Important of the State's
witnesses, and as a result of Information
which teached Mr. Dineen Leander Good
rich Is In Jail and John Barrett is being de
tained and being subjected to a searching
examination by the prosecution, which is
seeking o get at the bottom of the con
spiracy.
The State's attorney Is not convinced
that the conspiracy was not originated by
two of the prosecution's witnesses for the
purpose of extorting money from Alderman
Brennen and others who are under indict
ment. It Is said that yesterday afternoon
a friend of Alderman Brennan approached
the Eighteenth ward sanmber oLUhe City
Council and Informed him that two of the
State's witnesses were anxious to get clear
of the political scajidal, and If he or any
other one of the Indicted men was willing
to produce $1,000 and two tickets to Mon
treal they would skip out. The place of
meeting was made known to State's At
torney Dineen. and he sent a detective to
Frank Brothers's saloon, where the 11,000
was to be paid. Three citizens were there
to watch the payment of the money.
It was stated that before the final pre
liminary arrangements had been made the
destination of the two State's witnesses
was changed from Canada to South Africa,
and the transportation was arranged for
that country. When the two witnesses ap
peared at the meeting place and the con
spiracy had reached a stage where it was
time to act the two men were arrested and
taken to police headquarters.
WILL CONSIDER SCALES
GLASS WORKERS AND EMPLOYERS
TO MEET AT. .STAR ISLAND.
Proposition to Combine the G
Glass Bottle Blowers and the
Flint Glaaa Uaken.
CINCINNATI, July 10.-The Flint Glass
Workers' national convention to-day came
to an agreement with the Glass Manufac
turers' Association to have their Joint con
ference committees meet at Star Island,
Mich., July 20, the object being then to
consider wage scales for several branches
of the business and also take some action
in regard to tariff changes on glassware
which. It is understood, may be proposed
In the next Congress. On this point the idea
would be to unite the forces of the manu
facturers and workers in resisting the
chants which might have a detrimental
effect on the glass industries of the coun
try. President Rowe and Vice President
Dobbins will go with the workers' confer
ence committee.
The delegates are awaiting the coming
of the green glass bottle blowers before dis
cussing the proposed consolidation of that
organization with their own. Representa
tives of the green blowers who are here are
noncommital on ihe subject and 'it Is be
lieved that nothing will come of it. Things
which count against the consolidation are
the circumstances that the Green Glass
Bottle Blowers' Association has a reserve
fund of some J200.00U at present, while the
National Union of Flint Workers, while it
has more members, is not so well off finan
cially. D. A. Hayes, who is president of
the green blowers. Is understood to be
strongly opposed to the consolidation, and
so are the other chief officers. Because of
these things it Is said by some now that
the consolidation is sure to fall, though
there Is a chance that the organizations
may be able to agree on some plan of
federation which will leave them both in
I. j. ndent and with their regular national
officers, though acting together in matters
where their interests are mutual.

FOURTH ASSISTANT ADMITS THAT
HE WENT UP IN THE AIR.

His Fellow-Assistants.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 10. The postofflce
investigation will come to an end the latter
part of August. This, at least, is the ex
pectation of those immediately in charge
of the inquiry. There is a possibility, of
course, that unexpected developments may
occur which might tend to lengthen the In
vestigation, but no such contingency is
anticipated in official circles. The big sen
sations of the Investigation have passed.
No men more prominent than those al
ready under indictment are involved in the
scandal. The authority for this statement
is one of the leading officials of the depart
ment, and he bases his conclusions on ab
solute knowledge of every phase of the In
vestigation. The lines now being followed
by Fourth Assistant Bristow lead to small
fry in the free delivery division and in
this connection indictments are expected
to be returned by the federal grand jury
next week. As far as can be learned no
further arrests of officials other than a
number in the free delivery division are
expected in the department in Washington.
The Inquiry into the operation of tne
General Manifold Company, with which
the name of Representative Sibley, of Penn
sylvania, is connected is being continued.
as well as an investigation of branches
of the service rvmrte from Washington.
But the officials are strongly of opinion
that the sensational phase of the scandal
has passed and that future developments
will not create any great excitement or in
terest. The principal incident of the day in con
nection with the investigation was the
presentation to the postmaster general of
a ietter from the third assistant explaining
the latter's explosive statements with ref
erence to the alleged charges connecting
his name with questionable transactions in
the award of contracts to the General
Manifold Company. It will be recalled that
Third Assistant Madden wrote a letter In
which he denounced as untrue the reports
that he had anything to do with the con
tract granted the Pennsylvania corpora
tion and intimating at the same time that
rumors might have been given out by the
rirst or fourth assistant. "The Madden in
cident created a flurry. The third assist
ant now explains that he was laboring
under great excitement. He states that
he had just arrived in Detroit his home
city. He had received the congratulation
of citlsens on the victories he had achieved
In connection with his ruling relating to
second-class matter. He was further con
gratulated on the fact that he had not been
drawi into the postal scandal. Immediate
ly following the Madden demonstration in
Detroit came the report that the third as
sistant was embroil d in the scandal and
that his office would be investigated.
"Literally speaking." said a department
official to-day. "Mr. Madden went up In
the air. He has now returned to terra
Orma." It is reported that Mr. Madden
has been verbally reprimanded by his su
periors. Whether he will be further re
buked cannot be learned.

Powell swam to the point where Taylor
was seen, but arrived too late. Taylor
rose once from the water and then went to
his death. Powell's attention was th n
given to saving the other two men of the
party. Taylor was unmarried.

BY LONDON'S OFFICIAL HEAD.
Noteworthy Speeches of Lord Mayor

Ambasaador Choate.
KING EDWARD AT A REVIEW
SAW
HIS HONORABLE ARTILLERY
COMPANY ON PARADE,
And Minded to the Fnct that 200 of
the Artillerymen Would Soon
Visit Boston.
LONDON, July 10. Lord Mayor Samuel
gave a luncheon at the Mansion House here
to-day in honor of Rear Admiral Cotton and
officers of the Cnited States European
squadron, now at anchor in Portsmouth
harbor. After the toasts to King Edward
and President Roosevelt had been received
with enthusiasm the lord mayor proposed
the health of Admiral Cotton, his officers
and the entire American navy.
"Gentlemen," said the lord mayor, "In
the course of my term of office It Is my duty
to entertain many people, but I wish to tell
you that this lunch was not officially In
spired. I could not let the American squad
ron go without showing them, and, I hope,
all the people of America, that ties of blood
and language are recognized here in the city
of London more warmly than in any other
part of the world. May the bonds which
bind the two countries ever grow closer,
and, if necessary, may we face the whole
I . . . i I ; 1 . ,
worm togeiner, whin uiways enueavonng,
by every means in our power, to maintain
the peace of the world."
Incidentally the lord mayor made a strik
ing reference to the Klshlneff massacre. He
said he was thankful that the United States
was not bound by diplomatic rules and eti
quette, and had not hesitated to raise its
voice against the barbarities of the world,
wherever they occurred.
Admiral Cotton made a graceful acknowl
edgement of the kindly welcome that the
Americans had received from the British
fleet and people, and added: "The squadron
is here by direct order of the President of
the United States, and as a messenger of
peace and good will. I am sure 1 speak for
the peoples of both countries when I say L
hope and I believe that the cross of St.
George and the stars and stripes will never
be waved but in amity and friendship and
for the peace of the world."
Prolonged cheering greeted the admiral's
speech.
Ambassador Choate, in toasting the lord
mayor, said he hoped the Americans would
realize the great honor which was paid
them in being entertained in the historic
room. Alluding to the United States navy.
Mr. Choate said it was growing, thanks to
the enthusiasm of its commander-in-chief.
President K.-' lt.
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
The luncheon was a brilliant affair, ac
companied by all the picturesque city cere
monies, while the speeches were made the
occasion for an Anglo-American love feast.
Mrs. Choate sat on the lord mayor's right
and Admiral Cotton was seated between the
mayor's wife and Prince Louis of Batten
burg. The others present included Senator
Gorman, Lord Rothschild, the entire staff
of the American embassy. Consul General
Evans, Senator Depew and Sir Henry Irv
ing. Altogether thre were over 150 guests.
After the luncheon the naval officers pro
ceeded lo the armory of the Honorable Ar
till, ry Company, which was reviewed by
King Edward at 5 ). m. The review was a
brilliant affair. The King wore the uni
form of the regiment of which he is captain
general and colonel. He rode to the Horse
Guards parade at 5:45 p. m., followed by
Queen Alexandra and Princess Victoria In
an open carriage. An immense crowd en
circled the parade and all the windows and
the roofs of the adjoining houses were
crowded with spectators. The Honorable
Artillery Company looked smart and busl
mssllke. It consisted of six companies of
infantry, two batteries of khaki -colored
guns and an up-to-date staff of cyclist dis
I ,ti h I arers, motor cycle courier.- and :k
nal men.
The King followed the evolutions clouely
and at their conclusion said he was glad of
the opportunity to inspect the company for
the first time since his acccession, and re
marked that two hundred of the artUlery-
men would soon go to Boston to participate
in the anniversarv of th- Ancient and Hon
orable' Artillery Company of Boston, which
was an offshoot of their own corps. They :
would be received in the most cordial fash
ion and he hoped their visit would help to
cement the bond of friendshtip between the I
two countries, which he regarded as being
of so much importance.
The King gave a public exhibition of his
interest in the American officers by shak
ing hands with Rear Admiral Cotton and
bowing to each of the American captains
during his Inspection of the Honorable Ar
tillery Company.
Ambasador Choate gave a dinner to-night
in honor of the American naval men. in
viting them to meet a number of distin
guished officials.
The breakfast given to the Prince of
Wales by Admiral Cotton will take place
on the Kearsarge at M o'clock on the morn
ing of July 13. His Royal Highness will
subsequently inspect the warship.
In conversation with Americas officers at
the King s dinner at Buckingham Palace
yesterday evening members of the Cabinet
expressed a desire for an extension of the
Monroe doctrine. Recognizing the para
mount influence of the United States in the
western hemisphere. Great Britain, they
said, wants Washington to exercise control
In some way over the financial obligations
of the Central and South American states.
Apparently Great Britain, not desiring a
repetition of the Venezuelan affair, favors
the adoption of means whereby the smaller
republics will be compelled to Beet their
obligations without pressure from Kurope.

EVANSVILLE, lud.. July 10 Evansvtlla
is once more an orderly city. Since the de
parture of the troops there haa 'been no
display of the spirit so rampant in the ear
ly part of the week. Members of the local
militia company, whose business takes
them abroad among the people, are ex
periencing some embarrassment in the way
of criticism and threats for the part the
local company took in the riot of Monday
right when seven people were killed and a
large number of others wounded, but they
refrain from being drawn into controver
sies. The persistence with which the grand
Jury is at work investigating the causes
th.U led up to the recent deplorable events
and returning Indictments. Is having the
effect of closing the mouths of the incen
diary element, for they are beginning to
understand that the authorities will not
tolerate such conduct as held sway hers
fcr almost a wek.
The saloons were closed till late this after
noon, and It was almost Impossible for one
to get a drink in the city. No one re
calls a time when such a condition ever
before existed here. The various places
of business occupied by negroes, which
were riddled with bullets,, remain Just as
they were left when the inhabitants es
caped from the frenzied mobs. The colored
people hctVG given these places wide berth.
The authorities are determined that they
shall not be reopened and conducted as
they were in the pasL
The people of the community do not take
kindly to the many articles that have been
published in which the recent riots ara
charged to the laxity of the authorities In
the enforcement of laws and that they are
directly tra-.-able to politicians currying
favor with the negro element in the hope
of securing their votes.
CRITICISMS REFl'TED.
In reply to these attacks the Evening
Journal-News to-day says;
"There is one feature of the miserable
conditions that have prevailed in Evana
ville for the last few days that should not
escape notice, and thst is the criticism that
has been heaped on the authorities by men
who should have at least concerned them
selves with the lawlessness st hand, and
have attempted to correct evils that they
speak of afterward If they are here N
one of the critics of the legally constituted
authorities offered hia services to aid in dia
pelling mob rule ao far as Is known, yet
some of the critics 'live by the law and ara
sworn to uphold it in all of Its majesty.
"Some things are worth mentioning in
this connection to indicate to the unit
formed that Evansville is no mesn city:
"Who recalls a burglary worthy the
name within the past few years?
"Who recalls a holdup on the streets of
Evansville? The holdup man does not
thrive in Evansville.
"In what city in the L'nited State do
ladies walk the streets after sundown with
out ef irt as they do in Evansville. and be
free from molestation?
"A city with a record like that Is no mean
city and that is a true picture of Evans
ville. "It is also true that Evansville has its
dark side. What city has not? It wers
not a city without it. Evil characters flock
to cities; and if they did not there would
be no need for the vsst expenditure of
money to maintain police departments. And
it is remarkable to say that the causes lead
ing up to the riot and bloodshed is found
in the criticisms heaped on the authorities
and the critics know this as well as sll
others. Mm who busy themselves, criticise
lng authorities in perilous times are the
ones who have fed the flame of anarchy.
Some of them have busied themselves with
this sort of sedition for two years. Thejr
have attempted to make it appear thst the
authoritiea are weak and unsuccessful.
Sueh a course pursued constsntly has giv' n
license to those who have been led on by
this phsrifalcal method. To them belongs
the major portion of the blame for the up
rising of an element they have sought to
lead In thought, and now hold up their
hands in holy horror at the deeds they have
wrought.
"The man who stands on the street cor-n-r
to pray is no b-tt' r to-day than he was
when he was denounced by the Savior
mnnv. many years ago."
The funeral of John H. Bamett took
place this afternoon. He was the tenth
victim of Monday night's riot. Rarnett was
a barkeeper and the Barkeepers' Union
attended In a body.
August Browakl and Theodore Bee. two
others who were shot, are in s bed way st
the hospitsl and are liable to die. All other
patients are Improving.
FIVE MORE ARRESTS.
There were but two developments of sig
nificance in the situation here to-day. Flva
arrests were made under the gra id Jury In
dictments returned Tuesdsy sfteinoon. and
the grand Jury came in to make a report
this afternoon, but it was deferred until
to-morrow forenoon. Those arrested to-day
were Charles Seahn. Fiank Nlemler. Fred.
Boehme. Sam Longa and John E. Dodda.
S.hn is a c-al miner and If prominent
among the laboring class as he formerly
was president of the Central Labor Union
and has been at the head of his local sev
eral times. The men were arraigned before
Judue Has. h at once. All entered pleas of
not guilty and all gave bond to secure their
release.
It Is undestood that the grand Jury will
return between sixty and seventy Indict
ments to-morrtvw morning. Some of them
will be against persons Involved In Mon
day night's rioting and battle, but most of
them will be against men Implicated In the
lawles. demonstrations of Sunday night.
The important feature of the forthcoming
report is that several of th indntmenta
will be agairat negroes who participated
In the demonstrations made b muro hands
against whites Sunday evening. The a treat
of theae negroea may brecljdtate some trots
ble. but no serious difficulty t apprehended,
The city authorities believe they have tad
