SIGNS OF DISSOLUTION.
A careful medical examination showed that
the condition of the Pope's kidneys was worse,
as the component parts of the urine are not
normal. The diminution of certain elements
leads the doctors to fear that the system is
gradually approaching a state of dissolution. No
traces of albumen were found, indicating that,
although the kidneys are not performing their
Junctions properly, there Is no organic disease.
!Pope Leo is reported to have said:
If I am destined to die from this illness I feel
I shall expire on Thursday, the feast day of the
Carmelite Madonna, whom I specially worship.
Thia presentiment is remarkable, because in
a certain way it coincides with the prophecy
made in the twelfth century by St. Malachy.
the Bishop of Armagh, who predicted that Pope
l^eo would be succeeded by a Pope symbolizing
the motto "Ignis Ardens" (glowing lire.) The
"~ Carmelite Madonna is the patroness of the Car
melite Order, which attributes its origin to the
prophet Elijah, who ascended to heaven in a
chariot of lire. A member and protector of this
order is Cardinal GottS, who is looked upon as
one of the most likely to succeed to the Pon
. tificate.
At both the Vatican and the house of Dr. Lap
poni the arrivals of patent medicines, surgical
instruments and medical apparatus of all kinds
continue, each being accompanied by assurances
that His Holiness will recover if the remedies
be used aooordii •: to directions. From Vienna
have come highly perfected machines for pro
ducing artificial respiration and for making
oxygen. The Pontiff, however, has not required
the administration of oxygen for the last three
'days.* "What 1 need." Eays Pope Leo, "is air
fresh air. Besides, I should oe allowed to rise.
.An old man of ninety-four should not be kept
in bed when without fever."
PONTIFF'S LOVE FOR THE CHURCH.
When ilonsignor Angeli, one of the Pope's
•secretaries, this morning described to His Holi
ness the burst of enthusiasm called forth by his
lilncss, declaring that it had produced a revival
favorable to the Catholic Church unexampled in
lt« history, the Pontiff exclaimed, "Blessed ill
•ness!"
Monsignor Pifferi, the confessor of His Holi
ness, feels offended because he is not allowed to
enter the sick chamber, and is especially dis
c. iefied with the attending physiciar.s. believ
ing it is due to them that he is excluded. This
morning he again asked to be permitted to see
Pope Leo. On hearing the request the Pontiff
•aid: 'When I need him 1 shall send for him,"
a.: Monsignor Pifferi left the Vatican, consider
ing himself an injured man.
According to the rules established for the
government of the Noble Guard, one of their
principal duties is to watch assiduously the per
son of the Pope when His Holiness is seriously
311. even the Papal apartments passing under
their responsibility in such periods. After IS7O
there was a gradual general curtailment of ex
penses at the Vatican, and this resulted in a re
duction in numbers of the Noble Guard, which
now musters about forty men. Not all of these,
however, are now present at the Vatican, owing
to illness or other causes, and consequently the
service of those on duty Is very heavy, they
mounting guard, Fix at a time, for six hours.
The services rendered on the occasion of the
Pope's present illness by the Palatine Guards,
composed entirely of artisans, who receive no
pay for Vatican dut*- are highly appreciated.

Man— Foul Play Theory.
Friends of John Jj. Russell, secretary of the
Jo'jrneay & Burnham Company, drygcods dealers,
who disappeared on Friday, were more mystified
than ever yesterday when it was learned that his
office keys had beer, received by express at th«

home. No. 179 Amlty-st.. he paid:
It was the regular monthly meeting of the di
rectors, and the only business transacted was the
election of myself as secretary pro tern, or until
Mr. Russell returns. We have no explanation to
offer as to his disappearance. He had been work-
Ing very hard recently, and earlier In the week had
been overcome by the heat in Broadway.
I cannot say whether the address on the pack
age containing Mr. Russell's keys was In his hand
writing or not. as It was written on rough paper,
but the writing resembled his.
At the Rissell home. No. 102 Lincoln Place, last
niftht. the wife of the missing man expressed it as
her opinion that he had met foul play, as when he
di=.'.ppe;ircd he had $600 which he was to deposit in

PRINCE ON KEARSARGE.
IXSPECTS THE WARSHIP.
Royal Visitor Heartily Welcomed by
American Squadron.
Portsmouth, July 13. -The Prince of Wales vis
ited the United States European Squadron this
morning and breakfasted with Rear Admiral
Totton on the flagship Kearsarge. All the ships
m the harbor and the Channel fleet, at Spithead.
dressed ship, rainbow fashion, manned sides and
fired a royal salute as the prince boarded the
American flagship.
The deck of the Kearsarge preaented a strik
ing scene at the time of the prince'e arrival,
with the men. in white uniforms and with arms
linked, lining the turrets, bridges and rails. The
British Union Jack was flying at the mainmast.
Crossing a red draped gangway, the prince,
who was accompanied by Ambassador Choate.
the Earl of Selborne, First Lord of the Admi
ralty, and others passed through the line of
sailors, with Admiral Cotton and Captain Hemp
hill standing with their hands at their chapeaua.
The drums and bugles sounded four flourishes,
and in response to a signal from the flagship all
the American hoisted the royal standard
at the main and fired a salute of twenty-one
guns. As the first gun boomed all the ships in
the harbor, including the royal yachts, the Vic
tory and the Channel fleet, lying off Spithead,
dressed ship.
After saluting Admiral Cottrn and Captain
Hemphill, the Prince of Wales shook hands with
them, and they walked aft. On the quarter
deck the Prince saluted the other guests, and
then went to the quarters of the Admiral and
the captain, which for the occasion were made
into one room. The tables were tastefully deco
rated with flowers.
THE GUESTS AT THE LUNCHEON.
The Prince sat on Admiral Cotton's right.
The other guests at the same table were Lord
Selborne, Ambassador Choate. Admiral Lord
Kerr, Field Marshal Lord Roberts. Admiral
Sir Charles Hotham, Captain Sir Archibald
Milne, Vice-Admiral Beresford. Rear Admiral
Henderson, Captain Lambton, Rear Admiral Sir
Edward Chichester, Henry White, secretary of
the United States Embassy; J. R. Carter, second
secretary of the United States Embassy; Cap
tain Stockton, the United States Naval Attache,
and other American and British officers. There
were no speeches after the breakfast, the com
pany merely rising and toasting the King and
the President, the band in the mean time play
ing national airs.
Th Prince of Wales expressed a desire to in
spect the ship, and Captain Hemphill escorted
him along the gundeck of the superstructure
and also below. The Prince apparently had al
ready some knowledge of the Kearsarge, as he
was familiar with her characteristics and made
a remark about her especially excellent ventila
tion.
The Prince showed deep interest in the super
imposed turrets, and in response to the Prince's
request Captain Hemphill conducted him inside
the forward double turret. The Prince stooped
to enter the lower turret, and mounted the
ladder leading to the upper. 8-inch gun turret.
"Did the German Emperor do this?" he asked.
Captain Hemphill replied, "Emperor William
never got so high."
The Prince of Wales asked numerous ques
tions regarding the superposed turrets, particu
larly inquiring how rapidly the guns could be
loaded. Midshipman Belknap. in charge of the
forward turret, ordered a round of ammunition
from the magazine to the 13-inch gun. The op
eration was rapidly performed to the apparent
gratification of his royal highness. "The prince
ia a naval officer and knows what he Is talking
about," said Captain Hemphill.
The Prince complimented Captain Hemphill
on the splendid condition of the battleship.
SALUTES AT THE PRINCE'S DEPARTURE.
The departure of the Prince was marked by
the same ceremony as on his arrival. He. came
on deck ao«-f>mpanied by Admiral Cotton, sa
luted and shook hands with the Admiral and
the officers of the Kearparse and the captains
»>f th^ other American ships. As the Prince
crossed the gangway Lieutenant William V.
Pratt, of the Kearsarge, shouted, "Three cheers
for his royal highness the Prince of Wales!"
The same cry arose simultaneously on the other
American ships, and the crew? of the four ves
sels heartily cheered, the Prince saluting.
As the train left the station, the American
squadron fired a royal salute, and the bands
played "God Save the King." Not to be out
done in courtesy. Admiral FWesford took up a
position ln front of the British bluejackets form
ing the royal escort, who were drawn up on the
pier facing the battleship Kearsarge. Obeying a
sharp order, the detachment presented arms,
while the British l>and struggled, with rather
poor success, through 'The Star-Spangled Ban
ner." As the escort marched away the Ameri
can band again played "God Save th<» King."
The British officers gave a ball to-night in the
--.aval barracks in honor of the American
visitors. Five hundred persons were present, in
cluding the majority of the American officers.
Consul General Evans and the Misses Evans.
Mrs. IfcCrea, wife of Commander McCrea. of

at Ciudad Bolivar Shelled.
Soledad. Venezuela. July lO.— Soledad. which
is a strategic position opposite Ciudad Bolivar,
on the Orinoco River, has been taken by gov
ernment troops. The Associated Press corre
spondent, who came overland with the govern
ment forces from Maturin, witnessed the shell
ing to-day of the strong trenches constructed
along the river front before Ciudad Bolivar by
the revolutionists. It is believed th^t the gov
ernment troops will make h landing on that
side of the river on the arrival of General
Gomez, the government commander in chief,
who is expected on Monday, with a fleet which
will co-operate in a general attack on the city.

Gomez, before entering the valley of the Ori
noco, defeated the revolutionists under General
Antonio Paredes, who surrendered Puerto Ca
b:llo in 18W and was afterward captured by
the Liberals, near Irapa. General Gomez thus
secured the safety of his rearguard. Notwith
standing local public opinion to the contrary.
it is not believed in government circles that
General Rolando, who holds Ciudad Bolivar,
•will be able to resist the government's attack.
