ROME, April 16—It is believed that Pope Pius X is dying.
Last evening he took a sudden turn for the worse and has gradu
ally been growing weaker. At six o’clock this evening Dr.;
Andrea Amioi practically gave up all hopes. He summoned
the Pope’s family and told them that the Pope could not survive
the night. This opinion is also shared by Prof. Marchiafava.
Even this morning the Fope realized that the end was near and
insisted upon saying farewell to his personal attendants, to
whom he was much attached. This evening Sig. Patria Rica,
the legal representative of the Holy See, was called to the bed
side.
The present serious illness of the Pope commenced on Mon
day of last week, with a fainting fit. The papal physician, Dr.
Marchiafava, declared that the Pope was suffering from a
relapse of the influenza, with which he had been afflicted nearly
a month prior. He expressed the opinion that with extreme
care, helped by the prayers of the faithful, the holy father would
be spared many years. But during the past week the illness
became quite serious at times, the heart showing weakness,
with evidence of kidney trouble. The condition known as al
buminuria, which frequently accompanies influenza, has been
present, indicating nephritis, or inflammation of the kidneys.
For years the Pope has suffered with gout, with uraemis
symptoms and fainting spells, the latter gradually increasing in
intensity and frequency. Only a few days after his election to
the pontificate Pope Pius fainted in the Pauline chapel while
hearing mass. It was explained the other day that if the Pope
succeeded in recovering from the present attack he would have
to abandon indefinitely all fatiguing ceremonies, even audiences,
which the doctors declare, in his condition, would result in grave
consequences.
Pope Pius X was bom in 1835, and acceded to his present
holy office in 1903. at which time he announced his motto to be:
“To restore all things in Christ.”
ROME. April 17—The condition of the Pope remains about
the same. He rallied somewhat last night and is lying in such
a state that a change for the worse may come at any minute.
There has been much speculation as to whether the Pope's
physicians have given out all the facts in connection with his
illness and condition. This afternoon the Italian government
demaded that the time codition of the Pope be communicated
to the proper officials. Dr.Andrea Amioi and Dr. Marcliiafava,
the attending physicians, replied that they were unable to tell
whether Pope Pius could overcome the present serious crisis.
ROME, April 18—The condition of Pope Pius has continued
about the same since last evening until noon today, when he
took a slight turn for the worse. His physicians still hold out
a little hope that he may yet pull through this critical stage,
although the chances are against him. The slight rally from his
■seemingly dying state on Wednesday evening is an evidence of
the Pope’s recuperative powers. Telegrams have been pouring
in from all parts of the world, and one just received from Cardi
nal Gibbons, from Pittsburg, states that he is preparing to em
bark for Rome.

TOKIO, April 18—The situation over the aspect of Cali
fornia's action on the anti-alien ownership of farm lands is
growing increasingly serious. All the friendly feeling that has
heretofore existed for the United States is gradually giving way
to bitter resentment. Former Premier Shigenobu this afternoon
declares that war is imminent. And it is believed that he ex
presses the general sentiment not only among the officials of the
government, but certainly upon the part of the people. If the
masses had their way a declaration of hostility would soon be
forthcoming.

WASHINGTON, April 19—The one great subject that is at

ownership bill and the effect it will have on our relations with
Japan, This morning the President wired to Sacramento, re
questing that the bill be rushed through so that it might be de
termined at once whether it is in violation of the existing treaty
whch recognizes state rights. Secretary of State Bryan re
quested the embassy at Tokio to learn whether the sentiments
expresed at the mass meetings represent the time feelings af the
rank and file of the Japanese people.

The Railroad Commission lias reported favorably, on extend,
ing the line from Chitina to Fairbanks.
Ex-President Taft has recommended favorable action by
Congress.
The New York Legislature, realizing the great injustice done
Alaska in the past ten years by withdrawing all its natural re
sources, and thus stopping railroad building has unanimously
passed a resolution, endorsing the Railroad Commission report:
Calling on President Wilson to make Alaska Legislation a special
feature of his message to the special Congress called for April 1st.
The first act passed by the Alaska Legislature was in the form
of a memorial to Congress and the President asking that Railroad
construction be begun at once in accord with the Railroad Com
missions report, and that our Coal be opened for use.
Every town Council, and every Chamber of Commerce in
Alaska has sent wires and petitions to the President and Congress
to the same effect.
The cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco—and
a great many others as far East as Denver, Colorado—have joined
in the good work and are bringing all the pressure in their power
to bear.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has prepared a bill in line
with the Commission's report to be introduced at the Special
Session to convene April 1st.
Is there any one that doubts that something will be accom
plished, and that soon?
If so, she or he had better quit looking at the hole in the
doughnut and look at the doughnut awhile. If you keep on look
ing at that hole you will loose vour chance—for here is a chance
that you will never have again in this section of the country.
I will sell you any lot in Chitina not already sold, up to
April 1st, 1913, for 100 per cent less than you can buy it 6
months from now.
