Pontiff Said He Vas Confident Nego
tiations Were Starting Point For
Complete Solution of the Friars
Question.
Rome, July 22. The farewell meeting
between the Pope and Governor Taft
took place yesterday. The Americans
were ushered Into the private library,
and so soon as the door was opened the
Pope went half way to meet them and
greeted Governor Taft with the great
est cordiality. The Pontiff commenced
the Interview by saying that he was
most satisfied and happy at the results
obtained and was confident that the ne
gotiations would be the starting point
of a complete and satisfactory solution
of the question under discussion. He
added that the apostolic delegate soon
to be appointed would be Instructed
most strictly and precisely regarding
carrying out the ideas determined upon
between tbe United States and the Vat
ican, saying: "I will see that orders be
given him as to his work, over which I
will watch him personally."
Turning the conversation, the Pope
expressed the highest esteem for Amer
ican methods of treating church mat
ters. In fact, he had more than once
pointed to tho United States as setting
an example well worth copying.
Governor Taft thanked the Pope for
the promcptness and courtesy shown
him during his visit and promised co
operation with the apostolic delegate in
executing the business on the lines
agreed upon at Home. He expressed
regret at the fact that the negotiations
had been made the occasion for the cir
culation of false and even calumlnous
rumors In various papers nnd by some
telegraphic agencies, which had given
rise to unfavorable comments upon the
Vatican. The Pope also protested
against such false reports, but he
philosophically declared that by this
time he was accustomed to that kind
of misrepresentation.
The pontiff then rose with unusual
activity, walked with tho Americans to
tho opposite side of the room, and
showed them the mosaic which he is
sending to President Roosevelt In re
turn for the present of a box contain
ing his (Mr. Roosevelt's) literary
works. The mnsaic is a copy of Cor
ridi's well-known picture of Pope Leo
sitting on the terrace of the Vatican
gardens surveying Rome. It was made
in tbe Vatican workshops.
The Pope then gave Wshop O'Gor
man an autograph letter to President
Roosevelt.
To murk his Fntlsfaction r.t the sn;--cess
of tho negotiations, the Pope pre
sented each member of Governor Taft's
party wil'.i a personal gift enclosed in
a magnificent morocco case adorned
with the Fapal r.nr.s. Governor Taft
received a gold cooae quill of exquisite
workmanship, with Pope Leo's coat of
arms on the feather. To llishop
O'Gorn .in was presented a peetornl
cross sot with rubies nnd amethysts
and having a cameo centre bearing tho
figure of the Viigln surrounded with
pearls. Judge Smith and Major Porter
both received a gold jubilee modal. The
Pope gave Mrs. Taft an enamel repro
duction of the ancient painting or St.
Ursula surrounded by virgins.
Aft an r.iidii in e of 40 minutes, in
!...h tiie ton versa; ion was carried on
entirely In French, iiishop O'Gorman
nnd Major Porter translating, the Pope
saw the- Americans to the door of the
library.
Later, Governor Taft, accompanied
by Judge Smith and Captain Strother.
left Rome for Naples.
THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
Msny Miles of Fertile Farm Land Cov
ered By Water.
Keokuk. In., July 21. Exploration
of the flooded district of the Mississip
pi river from Keokuk south shows
conditions beyond the appreciation or
realization of any but those of long
experience with tho Father of Waters
in its most destructive mood. Tho
situation is growing worse hourly
and a great conflagration would not be
more rapidly destructive. There is
not the slightest chance of stopping
this most costly Hood in the history of
the great river. People at the river
cities give accounts of losses aggre
gating many millions of dollars. Hun
dreds of farmers rich ten days ago
are penniless and homeless.
Careful estimates gathered from the
statements of best informed people in
dicate the loss up to date Is about G.
000,000, with every prospect of two
or Uiree millions additional by the rise
above, not yet reaching the lower
stretches of the river. Most of this
loss is on the Missouri side of tbe
river between Keokuk and Hannibal.
Searching For $70,000,000.

The president has so admonished Gen

tired at will by the president. Root
supplementsi the reprimand of Presi
dent Roosevelt in a long circular. In
which he explains the conditions which
resulted in the court-martial of General
Smith, nnd shows that although Smith
Issued tho "kill and burn" order, as a
matter of fact very few persons were
killed as a result of that order, the cas
ualties being confined almost wholly to
the 11 natives killed under Major Wal-'
ler's direction.
The court sentenced him to be nd-1
monlshed by the reviewing authority,
and tho court appended to the sentence
the following explanation: "The court
is thus lenient in view of the 'indis-
puted evidence that the accused fid
not moan everything thnt his iinex
plalned language implied; that hisi
subordinates did not gather such a
meaning; and that the orders were
never executed In' such a sense, not-,
withstanding that a desperate struggle
was being conducted with a crul and
savage foe."
PLEASURE SEEKERS DROWNED
Excursion Stearrer On Elbe Cut In Two
By a Tug.
Hamburg, July 22. lletween CO and
60 lives were lost in a collision on the
river Elbe early yesterday morning be
tween the excursion steamer Primus
and the Hamburg-American line tug
Hansa. Early reports made the loss
of life over a hundred, but as tho day
advanced inii:sii:g passengers turned up
and reduced the list to the figures given
above. I
The Primus had made an excursion
trip from Huxtohtido, province of I fan-1
over, Prussia, nnd had 1S5 passengers
on board. While on the Kibe, between j
UlnnUencz and Ninslettin, tho Primus
attempted to cross the river channel,
and was rammed by the Hansa. The.
tug tore her way clear through the.
side of the steamer, almost cutting her!
in two. The Primus began to settle,,
and the Hansa's crew set about to res-1
cue the paltif-strlcken passengers of!
the steamer, many of whom jumped in-!
to the river rather than go down with
the Ill-fated steamer. Fifty of the pas-1
sengers were hauled nbo.iri! 'h tu;r i
rr.eans of ropes and boat In-' s, and i'-ir-a
time it wis thoiiiaii that 1 number j
was all that had been saw .l. Later it
was learned that 7.") others had been
rescued by ether craft.
The terrible panic that occurred on
the Primus vhen tho Hansa struck
her rendered tiie efforts to save her
passengers almost use'.t ss. Some ol
the survivors furnish graphic descrip
tions of the awful suddencss of the
disaster. According to their story, the
band was playing and many couples
were dancing on deck when the crash
of the collision came like a thunder
bolt. In the midst of tho confusion
the boilers exploded, adding to the
horrors of the scene, and many per
sons nre said to have been Injured by
hying splinters of metal.
