Though Long-Expected Triumph of

and Whole City ie In Mourn-
. - Ing—Pontiff Waa Ninety-
- three Yeara of Age and
* y Hie Reign Most
Remarkable.
Popo Leo XIII, the supreme pontiff
of the Roman Catholic church, passed
from earth In the Vatican in Rome,
Italy, at four o’clock Monday after
noon at the nee of ninety-three years.
TO the last the pope fought for life,
though to all he declared he eras ready
to leavo. Just. before the final end
came, he moved his lips feebly, as
though a parting message struggled
to find strength for expression. His
lajt articulate words were a boned lc-
The news of the pope’s death spread
rapidly throughout Rome and caused
a most pronounced sensation though
hie domlse had been hourly expected
for two weeks. The whole city Is In
mourning.
Early In the day a stop had been put
to the visits which bad been so fre
quently made to the room of the dy-
ing pontiff.
Pope Leo died In harness, If not
standing, as he declared he would be,
at least performing his duties to the
end.
«Immediately following the death of
the pope cable dispatches and tele
grams were dispatched to all parts
of the world, advising tho sovereigns,
rulers and foreign governments of the
death. Before night fell many tele
grams of condolence reached tho Vati
can, coming from emperors, kings, po
litical rulers and high church dignita
ries abroad. The Vatican officers
were deluged with these messages.
The death of the pope brings about
a widespread change In all the admin
istrative departments of tho church
and considerably influences questions
of church policy. The ohango within
the Vatican affects practically all tho
officials from the highest to tho low
est
The chief International questions
whloh may be affected by the death of
the pope are thoso connected with the
suppression of religious orders in
France, the change of the clergy In
the new Spanlsh-Amerlcan posses
sions, the selections of the successor
of the late Cardinal .aughan and at
tendant questions connected with tho
administration of the church In Eng
land.
All the newspapers In Romo, Includ
ing those favorable to the present in
stitutions, publish long eulogistic ar-
tlcffis pbout tho defunct. The only dis
cordant note was struck by tho social
ist organ, Avantl, which says:
"We socialists, without disdain, but
with Indifference, parti iboforo this
corpse and await tl\e now enemy.”
The Italian government has renew
ed the most energetic orders, Pre
mier Zanardelll attending to the work
personally, to Insure order about the
Vatican, but It cannot and will not
take participation directly in tho
mourning.

MORE GRACE FOR BLACK8.
Epworth Leaguer* Would Solve Race
Problem Through Religion.
A special from DotroK says: There
was no lesienlng of the enthusiasm
among the Epworth Leaguers Friday
night and Tent Ontario, Auditorium
Epworth, the Detroit opera house and
Central Methodist Episcopal church,
where rcreunas were held, were again
crowded.
Dr. H. M. Hamll, of Nashville,
Tenn., talked on "The Field Wear at
Hand” at the tent meeting, and In hia
address referred to the negro ques
tion. “We have made tho negro,” ho
, "a thing to be batted to and fro
by political parties and we have for
gotten hia religion in a large measure.
What we need la to spend more tlmo
In putttag the grace of Christ In tho
hearts of the black people. What we
need to do to solve the negro problem
la to transform any Instinct of savage
ry that may exist In the few of that
race. In order to stop the lighting of
faggots and the raising of stakes. It
la onr only hope. And when you cl
tho north write resolutions condemn
ing mob law, remember that It la not
Methodist hands that pall the ropes
and light tho fires.”
In Auditorium Epworth, Rer. M. N.
Waldrop, of BentonvIUe, Ark., wit
chairman, and Rev. A. B. Leonard, of
New York, spoke on "The Field Far
Away.” Referring to the negro ques
tion, he said:
"Whether it bo Englishman, French
man, Turk, German or Portuguese
that makes conquests in Africa, the
African Is his helpless victim. Nor Is
America free from the shame and sin
of oppressing and cruelly treating the
children of Ham. Brought here, with
out their consent, as humsn merchan
dise, liberated after two centuries of
slavery by tho exigencies of war, they
are now outcasts, socially and politi
cally, and ofton denied the right of
trial by Jury, they are shot or hanged
or burned at the stake, both in tho
north and in the south. American
Christians must see to It thst the ne
groes shall have a fair chance In tho
race of-life In America, and also do
their utmost to give him the gospel
in bis native land.”
