Rome, July 21.—Pope Leo XIII is dead. The last flicker of life expired at four minutes past 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon, and the pontiff now lies at rest, The period of over two weeks that Pope Leo passed in the shadow of death was no less wonderful than his life. His splendid battle against dis- ease was watched the world over with sympathetic admiration, and ended only after a series of tremendous efforts to conquer the weakness of his aged frame by the marvellous will power of his mind. The pleuro-pnéumonia with which his holiness had be suffering was scarcely so sgsponsible for h death as that inevl f tis which ensued upon The tested steel Murmured, ’ often bef break The which the be almost all red damask coverlet the the worl POPE LEO XIIL the body, the is about head has beer velvet, gilk handke chin and blessed cardinal’s be yd 80 placed a cn mained formed officers rough-clad who keep a the Today the sa unt in Fran assembled for the impr of fii dead formed ally After tl the } His fore and his murmured terrible.” not of fered, but v upon the cardinals who knelt at the bedside, and the look of almos towards the great |v ing In the all now in kneel ing at the bedside, watched the passage of his soul. Earlier in the day Cardinal Serafino Vannutelll had impressively pronounced the absolution in articulo mortis. The last conscious act of the pon tiff was to turn his eyes toward the great crucifix on the wall, after which he suffered from a paroxysm of chok- ing, during which he passed away Then the silence of the awestricken assemblage was broken by the sono rous, solemn voice of Cardinal Sera fino Vanutelll, the grand penitentiary, fntoning the requiem aeternam (rost eternal). This was the signal for an outburst of tears an sound of weeping, which could not longer be repressed, all the kneeling prelates and others kissing the dead hand--that hand which had dispersed + many benefits, charities and benedictions, After the death the doctors walted some minutes.

Speculation, prophecies and predictions come from every di rection in favor of the various candi dates. The comparatively long {liness of Leo has had the effect of narrowing the chances of some who entered the contest with what was thought to be the brightest prospects, while it has brought forward the prominence of others who at first were hardly con sidered. The result is that they are all now on about the fs sald that there has never been a conclave in which there are so many candidates who have a falr chance of winning. Now there are a half dozen at least who are entering the conclave wtih equal chances of success. It is be Heved that the foreign cardinals will ultimately give the casting votes as, Hving far away from Rome, where different factions form and flourish, they will be more impartial, especially time { chur hes ask y WAS | young Peccl being sent at the age of ntinics ms in one of the tl hurct of Wash- ington After the Interment of the pope, prayers wiil @ beid In the Catholi that divine guidance abore of the tion of a succes tend the may at tory In their « Leo XIII POPE LEO'S LIFE WORK Pontifi's ons. sor to Career In Brief From Birth to Present Time.
