LIES IN STATE
IN ST. PETER'S
PEOPLE WILL HAVE OPPORTUNI-
TY TO PAY LAST FAREWELL
TO DEAD POPE.
A MOST MOURNfll CERLM0NY
BODY OF PONTIFF CONVEYED
FROM THE THRONE ROOM
TO ST. PETER'S.
NOT THE LEAST SIGN Of CANCtR
DR. LAPPONI REPORTS ON THE
AUTOPSY HELD ON THE
BODY.
Rome, July 24. The body of Leo
XIII. now lies in state in the basilica
of St. Peter's. Beginning to-day at
sunrise the people of Rome and those
of all nations now in the Eternal City
were admitted to pay their last fare
well. Opportunity for this solemn
tribute will end Saturday.
Until 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the remains of the dead pope lay In
the throne room of the Vatican, where
the leaders of the diplomatic, clerical
and civil world were allowed to pass
the bier. The ceremonial last night,
when the body was conveyed from the
throne room to St. Peter's was one of
the most striking of all the obsequies.
At 8 o'clock the mournful procession
gathered around the bier, which was
gently lifted by the sediari, who in the
Iiftime of Leo XIII. had carried him
in the sedia gestatoria. The dead
pontiff was
Clad in All the Pomp
of his holy office. Leading the pro
cession as it passed out of the throne
room came the grooms carrying light
ed torches. Behind the bier came the
three nephews of the late pope. Mgr.
Thomas Kennedy, rector of the Amer
ican college, represented the United
States in the procession. At the Hall
of Palafraniers the cortege came to a
standstill. There the cardinals, who
had been waiting in the hall of the
consistory, took their places immedi
ately behind the nephews. Once more
the procession, with the bier now
flanked by the Swiss guards, moved
on. After the cardinals came the
whole diplomatic body accredited to
the Vatican and the representatives
of the Knights of Malta. No monarch
was ever followed to the tomb by a
More Imposing Array.
Led by the cardinals, the prelates and
clergy recited prayers and psalms for
the diead as they slowly entered the
Sistine chapel, where the chapter and
clergy of St. Peter's awaited the pro
cession. The latter formally received
and took possession of the body. The
final stage of bearing "'the prisoner of
the Vatican" to his resting place then
commenced. From the Sistine chapel
the procession wound out around the
loggia immortalized by Raphael, en
circled the court of San Damaso and
descended the private staircase, still
chanting, into the bastilica. The in
tense silence which prevailed was
broken only by the chanting, which
echoed and re-echoed from the huge
dome and deserted aisles of the chap
els as
The Body Was Borne
down the nave to the Chapel of the
Sacrament. There candles burned
brightly. In this crapelle ardente the
body was reverently stretched behind
the iron gates and two members of the
noble guard took up positions on
either side of the bier. Tne proces
sion then reformed and returned to
the Vatican!
During the day the congregation of
cardinals met and decided to hold the
conclave under the identical regula
tions which obtained at the conclave
which elected Leo.
Dr. Lapponi in the course of the
day presented to Cardinal Oreglia a
report of the autopsy which was held,
which showed that there was no sign
of cancer In the pope's body.
CARE FOR MILITIAMEN.
Those Boycotted as Result of Evans
ville Riot Will Get Political Jobs.
Indianapolis. July 24. "Is it the
dftty of the state to take care of the
militiamen who lost their positions
through participation in the military'
occupation of Evansville recently, so
far as it may be possible to do so by
filling any vacancies that now exist or
may OCCUT in the future at the state's
institutions "with such men as are
competent to fill the positions?"
This is the question raised by Will
H. Whittaker, the new superintendent
of the Jeffersonville reformatory, who
is in the city after a short stay at the
institution of which he is soon to take
charge. He says such men will re
ceive employment at the reformatory
and probably at other institutions.
DROWNED LIKE RATS IN TRAP.
Five Miners Lose Their Lives in a
Colliery.
Mahanoy City, Pa., July 24.By the
bursting through of a large body of
water that was impounded in an
abandoned section of the Ellangowan
colliery of the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company, just before
quitting time last evening five miners,
all foreigners, were drowned like rats
in a trap. Considerable coal accom
panied the rush of water, making it
I impossible to reach the bodies.
