Rome.?The body of the Pope "was Interred in St. Teter's. The strokes ?f the hammer which resounded Uirougli the immense dome of the Cathedral. announced to the earnest gathering in the nave that Leo XIII. had been laid to resr. At sundown the most Important and most solemn of all the Bbsequies took place. The front doors af the Basilica were closed, and the rast church, except for a row of lights at the snrine or or. ireter, me eauuies shout the bier and those persons who bad quietly and with the utmost reverence gathered there, appeared deserted. About 3000 persons had received invitations to attend the ceremonies. The Cardinals, who met earlier in the Vatican, entered, the chapel choir waiting there for the arrival of the procession. Cardinal Oreglia. the Chamberlain, holding the keys of command. Cardinal Rampolla as Archpriest of the Basilica was waiting outside the pates, in violet robes, surrounded by the chapter of the Cathedral, which teas led by Mgr. Ceppetelli, who couducted the service. Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni directed the work of the removal of the bier, which was executed by eight sediari, or Pope's carriers, attired in their brilliant red brocade costumes. They at first tried to raise the bier, but, finding it too heavy, they slowly slid it onto a low car with noiseless wheels. Then, to the strains of the "Miserere, which rang dolefully through the lofty church, the procession, carrying caudles and torches, slowly left the chapel and went lip the church, passing the bronze statue and beyond the shrine of St. Peter. Those gathered fell to their knees. After slow * progress around the church the sad cortege arrived at the chapel choir, the bier being so carried that the dead Pope entered head first, according to the ceremonial, the chapel from semi-obscurity flashing into the brilliancy of the suddenly turned-on electric light. Here all those who had received invitations were stopped, re, maining in the main part of the building behind a double line of the Swiss Guards, in their peculiar yellow, red and black uniforms and armed with halberds and serpentine swords. Within the chapel was Count Camillo Pecci, a nephew or the late rope, wearing the led uniform of a general of the Koble Guard.' In the chapel the music changed to notes of joy and triumph and "In Paradisum" rang out with telling effect. From the outside the five bells of St. (Peter's rang their accustomed salute ito the coming night, mingling harmoniously with the music of the choir. : The scene in the chapel was most remarkably effective. The bier bearing the body was received by Cardinal Oreglia. It was placed in the centre, bached, by an altar, with a beautiful Image of the Madonna, before which fcvere burning four immense candles in lilver staffs. Around the two sides of / ' CABDINA.L OBIQtlA. .the (jihapel, in the choir seats, were thirty-six Cardinals, all wearing violet robes, except Cardinals Gotti and Pierottl, who wore the white mantles of itheir orders; Cardinal Martlnelli in black, as an Augustinlan, and Cardinal iVives y Tuto, in Franciscan brown. In the middle of the right side of the chapel, among the Cardinals, sat Prince Mercantonio Colonna Yassistaltto, on the Pontifical throne, witn an. empty seat next him, owing to the fact that Prince Orsini. who held the same position. had resigned. The body was sprinkled with holy trater, absolution was given and the foot of Leo XIII. was kissed for the last time by Major Domo Caglano, Master of the Chamber Bisleti. and Count Camillo Peeci. The Major Domo then covered the venerable features and harnls with a white silk veil bordered with gold. Over this was spread a large silk veil, which covered the whole person. Fire was lighted in a brasler and blown by a bellows, the sparks rising almost to the ceiling, while Mgr. Rartollni read for twenty minutes the Oratio Brevis, after which the body was Interred.

The children got hevond their denth. their mother went to the rescue, followed by Mrs. Bradford, who plunged into the water and made a heroic effort to save the women and children. Russian Loan Negotiated. It Is said in St. Petersburg that Rustfa has arranged with French capitalists for a loan of $26,000,000. fiPfi ?V .... .. rS:, j'.-J - ' It Is estimated that 80,000 persons passed before the body of the Pope while it lay in state in St. Peter's. An imposing ceremouy was the reception by tlie Sacred College in the Hall of the Consistory of the whole diplomatic body accredited to the Vati can. Senhor d'Antas, of Portugal, the dean of the corps, made an address, in which he expressed the grief of his CABDIXAL GOTTI. (Pope Leo ia said to have favored him as his 1 successor.) colleagues at the death of the Popo and offered their condolences. He also delivered a eulogy of the late Pontiff. Cardinal Oreglla replied. After thanking Senhor d'Antas personally and expressing the gratitude of the Sacred College for the interest taken in this sad matter by Catholic nations, he paid a glowing tribute to Leo XIII. He added that he hoped God would direct them in the choice of a successor to the late Holy Father. After these addresses the Ambassadors defiled before the Cardinals, some of them kissing the hands of the members of the Sacred College. This concluded the ceremony. Several thousands of the faithful visited St. Peter's the following day to pay tribute before the sarcophagus containing the body of Pope Leo. on which is the following simple Inscription in gilded letters: "Leo XIII. Pont. Max." The will of Pope Leo was read after the meeting of the Congregation of Cardinals. '<nly that portion which , deals with the personal estate was : made public. The religious testament was not disclosed. The will is written on large sheets in the small, clear handwriting of the ( late Pontiff, presenting no trace of un- < certainty, and it might almost be taken j for copper plate. It was opened by 1 Cardinals Rampolla, Mocenni and Cre- j toni, the executors. The relatives of i the late Pontiff were not present, al- : though they had been Invited. 1 While the will nominally leaves the < estate of Carpineto to Count Ludovico , Pecci, it really makes no change, as the i whole family property, the value of ; which amounts approximately to $120,- ] 000, had already been divided among , the three nephews, and Count Camillo j had sold his share. When the time came to take the j Fisherman's Ring from Pope Leo's finger. It has just developed, another | was found in its place. This did not ; astonish any one, as generally the Pontiff did not wear it, the ring being less of an ornament than an unused seal. At the first meeting of the congregation of Cardinals after the Pope's death, when the famous ring should have been broken, the ceremony was omitted, and It was put on record that the ring, for the moment, could not be found. So far It has not been discovered, but the Vatican authorities give assurance that the ring will undoubtedly be found. Our Condolences Appreciated. Washington, D.

V JAPAN GROWING UNEASY Cranborne Says Britain is Anxious t-or mancnurian oeiuemant. Russia and Japan Reported to Be Mak> Ins Treparatlons For War in the Far East. London.?In the House of Commons Joseph Walton, a Liberal, who strongly favors an extension of British trade by means of colonia. development,accused the Government of a succession of humiliating surrenders in China. He said the time had arrived for facing the situation in Manchuria. The Under Foreign Secretary, Lord Cranborne. in reply, said that British trade in China was stilt increasing at a satisfactory rate, and he was confident of securing a full share of railway and other valuable concessions. The Government, he said, was fully aware of the position of Manchuria. The great difficulty up to the present time in negotiating with Russia was that Great Britain had never yet been able to ascertain exactly what the Russian Government wanted, and the fact remained that Manchuria was still occupied. Russia's failure to fulfil her undertaking, he said, was satisfactory neither to Great Britain, Japan, nor the United States. * ; "Our ally, Japan." Lord Cranborne said, "is becoming uneasy at the prolongation of the occupation of Manchuria. and we are equally anxious for some kind of a settlement. There are certain elements out of which an agreement ought to be possible, and if Russia Is prepared to give due weight to our treaty rights and commercial interests, she will not find us irreconcilable to compromise." Lord Cranborne's remarks were the subject of special comment because of the presence In London of the French arbitratlonists. The Daily Mail's Tokio correspondent sends rather an alarming view of the situation in the East to his paper. He says that Russia's retention of Manchuria, the increase of her fleet, the dispatch of reinforcements to Manchuria, the southward movement of the occupying army in Manchuria, and the defiant conduct on the Korean frontier alarms the Japanese, many of whom are convinced that it would be better to fight now than risk the eventual loss of Korea and the relegatiou of Japan to a secondary place. He says the Japanese are accumulating stores nud negotiating the purchase of ships: that a squadron is off Vladivostock, to which port Russian vessels have been sent as a precaution, and that both fleets are ready for action at any moment. He says that a perusal of the Siberian press reveals the aggressive spirit of the Russian military party; that the Russians believe they will | lose prestige if tliey give way now with the result that their Far Eastern empire will be lost and Japanese influence will become predominant. The appointment of Marquis Ito as President of the Privy Council, the correspondent ^ays, is favorable to peace* but Russia must retreat, or there will be very grave danger of war. He says the Japanese believe that France and England will join in the expected conflict, which diplomats at Tokio think might, if once begun, continue for years, involving disastrous results to Japanese Einance and the creation of a sort of ; .HflO U- TnAAt* I DU1KU11 UlUiUUll.Y III ivuica. ulc: uuuo that confidence is shown in the Anglolapanose alliance. The Standard's Tien-Tsin correspondent snys that since the 15th of the month there has been an incessant increase in the concentration of Russian forces at Port Arthur and elsewhore, many who were ostensibly emigrants being in reality soldiers. He adds that there Is not the slightest evidence that Russia intends to withdraw or moderite her policy. WHEAT BLOCKADES RAILROADS. Eleavy Crop Movement Already Too Great to Be Handled. .

New York City.?With the approach 3f the international yachting races the brokers in Wall Street are becoming more or less interested. Betting was at 10 to 7 in favor of the American boat.

Mass,, Blow Up. ? AWFUL MISTAKE OF WORKMAN He Poured Nitric Acid on Nltro-Glycerlne and the Disaster Followed?Four Boys in Swimming Killed by the Concussion ?Country For Miles Around Shaken? Militia Aided Police. Lowell, Mass. ? With a crash like thunder that follows a near-by flash of lightning and a shock fchat was felt fifty miles away, two powder magazines of the United States Cartridge Company, in Tewksbury, a suburb of Lowell, blew up, causing the death of twenty-one persons and injury to more than fifty. Fourteen fr.imo house in the vicinity tumbled down as though they were built of cardboard. Seven of these caught Are, probably from the kitchen stoves, and were consumed. At least three persons pinned in the ruins were burned to death, and eight others who were l-escued died later. At least fifty j houses were badly damaged. Early in the morning eight men. three of them employes of the company, three expressmen and two carpenters, were sent to one of the magazines to mend the floor. Two of the wagons had been loaded with the powder which had been removed to give room to make the repairs, when at 9.06 o'clock the explosion occurred. Clarendon Goodwin, the foreman of tho crew that was removing the powder, and one of his assistants, Amadee Boulanger, miraculously escaped, although they were seriously injured. At the hospital Goodwin explained the I cause of the explosion. He said that the men went down to the magazine to fix the floor, and after the teams had been loaded with the ;>owder which was in the magazine, it was discovered that a can of nitro-glyceriiie, which was stored in the maga*. tine, was leaking. Mr. Goodwin picked up what he thought was a jug of water and began pouring It on the nitro-glycerine with the idea of diluting it and washing it up. As soon as the fluid from the jug struck the floor he found that It was nitric acid. The floor at once began, to smoke, and when the men saw it they rushed from the building, but had not gone ten feet when the explosion occurred. The magazine was therefore the first to go up. followed immediately by the gunpowder in the three wagons, and several seconds later by the second magazine. To those who heard the crash it seemed as if there were, two distinct explosions, with a continuous roar between them. There are, however, five holes in the ground, which seem to indicate five explosions. The entire catastrophe, however, oc nupied tne space or scarcely nve seconds, but in that time the surrounding property was swept as if a small volcano had broken forth in its midst. Every bouse within 200 yards eol-> lapsed. Trees were blown down, the grass within 100 yards mowed as if by a lawn mower, while bricks from the two magazines were hurled far across the river and all over the neighborhood. The magazines, fortunately were sitaated more than a mile away from the factory itself. Both magazines ordinarily contained two or three tons of gunpowder in tin kegs, each keg being about eighteen inches high and a foot In diameter. For several minutes after the explosions the air was completely filled with 3moke and dust, illuminated by the ijlare from the already burning houses. Those who survived dragged themjelves to what seemed a place of safety, only to be recalled by the shrieks of those less fortunate. The work of rescue at once began, but In many cases the flames had already gained full sway over the crumbled ruins, and despite the energetic efforts of those who were not seriously hurt, several persons were burned to death before the debris which covered them could be removed. The property is situated just over the Lowell line, in Tewksbury, but the Lowell Fire Department at once responded and did noble work in caring for the wounded. Ambulances soon appeared on the scene and assisted the firemen, and all sorts of vehicles were pressed into the service. Nearly two score of persons were* conveyed to the hospitals within half an hour, while many more who suffered merely from slight cuts by flying glass had their wounds bound up and remained on the scene, where they also assisted in caring for the less fortunate. The explosion shook the city, and within half an hour there were at least 5000 people on the scene of the catastrophe, hindering the wort of caring for the wounded so that the Acting Mayor of Lowell sent out n call for the militia to assist the local police. Three companies responded and three hours later had thrown a cordon of men around the district and cleared the place of every one except those immediately engaged in quenching the flames and searching for other victims Df the explosion. Two hundred yards further down the river from the second magazine the firomon suddenly came across the bodies of four little boys, who were just about to have a swim. A fifth member of the little party was Tortunately in the river when the explosion occurred and escaped without inJury. On the other side cf the magazine heroic iuotner saccumun iu i?umn. 'After hovering between life and death for three weeks Mrs. George Potts, at Elkton, Md., died as a result of being horribly burned about the breast and limbs, while making an effort to save jthe life of her four-year-old son. The latter was burned almost to a crisp by the explosion of a can of coal oil. Servian Helt* a Degenerate.

Conn., vl-o was at one time a catcher on the N?w York baseball team, was struck and instantly killed by a train. His body was frightfully mpnpl/k.J was a grove of trees, through which the explosion tore a path fifty feet wide for a distance of nearly 300 yards. The four little boys were caught in the centre of this path, and three were instantly killed. The body of one of them "was frightfully mutilated, the bead being completely blown off. The fourth was alive when he was discovered, but died a few minutes later. Apparently the force from this second magazine was expended in two directions. north and south. On the north it completely demolished the house of William Riggs about fifty yards away, almost burying Mrs. Riggs and badly injuring her little son. Mrs. Riggs was subsequently removed, but died before being taken to the hospital. Most of the property destroyed consisted of small buildings constructed of wood and at a comparatively small cost. The property loss, therefore, will be rather small. The Selectmen of the town of Tewksbury, in which the explosion occurred, stated that they thought that ?75,000 would cover the entire loss. So large was the quantity of powder in storage that the shock of the explo siou was distinctly reit an over uoruieastern Massachusetts. In Lowell many windows were demolished, and at places fifteen miles away glass was also shattered. The wreck caused by the explosion covers an extent of three acres. ' House's, barns and outbuildings lie in ruins, some half demolished and others hardly more than a heap of broken timbers. The building in which the explosion occurred was about one and one-half miles distant from the works of the cartridge company, which arc- in Lowell. Within a distance of fifty yards are half a' dozen houses. One hundred yards away there are twenty houses more, and beyond that the buildings are close together. Every structure within a quarter of a mile was torn within and without. ' Men, women and children who were inside sustained cuts, bruises and broken uuucs. Most of* those killed were employes of the concern or persons living In the small houses destroyed. TURK LONG HELD OFFICE. Knowledge of State Secrets Enabled Him tb Have His Own Way. Constantinople, Turkey.?Djelal Bey, Minister of Public Instruction, has been promoted to the position of Minister of Marine, which was occupied for twenty-three years by Hassan Pasha, who died a few days ago.

He was credited with the possession of State secrets, which, it is said, enabled him to commit acts which nobody else would have dared to contemplate. During his last illness It is'said that his house was searched, presumably with the idea of seizing compromising documents, but nothing was found, and it is presumed that they were all placed for safe keeping, together with the bulk of his fortune, in a private bank. It is alleged that he agreed with Russia, for a consideration, to prevent the upbuild? ing of the Turkish navy. , CONSUL-GENERAL LONG DEAD. He Is Killed by a Fall While on a Visit to Scotland.
