The victim is an Italian boy about Ave years of age. He was going about in his bare feet, when a cow stepped on one of the toes of his left foot and completely severed it. The only explanation that can be given for the injury is that the boy was standing on some sharp article when the cow Btepped on him.

London, July 25. — The Times this morning prints a long Peking disputcb commenting on the Manchurian situation, which says that Russia's declaration to the powers on the subject ol opening Manchurian ports, which Prince Chlng asserts was not communicated to China, is interpreted in Peking to mean that Russia will not permit China to enter into any engagements with other powers regarding Manchuria which may embarrass Russia in the future when the territory finally becomes a Russian province. Hence, the Times correspondent •ays, Russia's refusal to permit in Manchuria foreign settlements similar to those in Chinese treaty ports. It is openly contended by the Russians that Harbin Is purely a Russian city, to which a foreign consul could only be appointed with Russian consent. New York, July 25.—Two Important (allures involving millions of dollars have been announced on the Stock Exchange. The firms forced to make an assignment were those of Talbot J. Taylor & Co. of 30 Broad street and W. L. Stow & Co. of 44 Exchange place. Concerning the Candidates. Rome, July 25.—The reception tendered the diplomatic corps at the Vatican by the college of cardinals began in the hall of the consistory at 11 o'clock this morning and was brief. «. ' ■ M. Antas, of Portugal, dean of the diplomatic body, spoke in their behalf, anivx£rdlnal Oreglia on behalf of the / Thq reception ended without any word on the subject of temporal power or any political subject. Today is the last day the public will be permitted to view the Pope's remains. The doors were open at 6 o'clock and closed at noon, to permit preparations for the Interment. The remains presented a most painful appearance and are now scarcely recognizable. It is considered lamentable that the exhibition was perrouted to continue today. Although It is generally admitted that the political situation is not of the rosiest, Macedonian agitation giving trouble and tDe war party anxious for a trial of strength with Turkey, there is absolutely no confirmation from any source of the revolutionary rumors. It is said in some quarters that Prince Ferdinand warned the Austrian and Russian governments that he would not return unless the powers guaranteed the application of Macedonian reforms, but this statement Is not confirmed.

Paris, July 25.—The Patrie's Sofia correspondent wires an interview with Zancov, president of the Bulgarian chamber and leader of the Russian party. He says, that the general discontent in that country places the crown In Immediate danger. After the next election a revolution will be proclaimed unless the liberties of the people are respected. The truth of Prince Ferdinand's departure from Bulgaria h that It 1b due to his fear of the result of anonymous threats. No actual plot exists. PEOPLE'S STORE STEGMAIER BREWING COMPANY, WILKESBAHRE, PA. 4 15 South Main St., Pittston. ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. — _—M . The remains of Pope Leo were this evening Interred In their temporary resting place In an oblong nltche over the door to the left of the Chapel of the Sacrament. Here they will remain for a year, when they will be finally Interred in the Church of St. John Lateran. The interment service began at 7 o'clock. The procession was led by the monks of St. Peter, followed by cardinals and 700 invited persons. These latter were mostly of the aristocracy. The procession wended its way through the church, chanting the allegrls, "In Paridisium." The holy water was sprinkled on the remains. The coffin was placed in one of lead and then In an outer wooden box and placed In the niche. If the United States, continues the correspondent, considers the declaration satisfactory and believes Bussla will assist in the development of foreign trade in Manchuria it must be kept In surprising ignorance of the un happy experience of an American trading company both at Vladivostok and Port Arthur.

Taylor and Foxliall Keene, a son of James R. Keene, who was a special partner. The air is full of rumors, and the situation seems pregnant with possibilities. There is no pretense of evacuating Manchuria. On the contrary, reenforcements are constantly arriving There is a continuous Southward movement of troops and guns, while us a result of General Kuropatkin's visit Dalny, hitherto free from military protection, is to have two powerful forti and a garrison of 15,000.

PENN No statement of Taylor & Co.'s assets and liabilities lias been made, but ffom the president of a leading national bank It Is learned that the liabilities may be well on to $6,000,000. Today, Cardinal Rampolla seems to have good chances for election. It Is learned that many cardinals have promised him a complimentary vote' on the first ballot, as an acknowledgment of his long and faithful services. He iftay thus secure'enough to gleet him, but if he fails on first ballot It Is probable that he Will lose much of his original support. Tobacco Coal Novelty Souvenirs for Tourists.

More Postal Fraud Indictments. Washington, July 2^.—Four indictments resulting from the postal investigation are likely to be returned by the federal grand jury In this city next Monday. This is the fruit of the jury deliberations at which Postmaster General Payne lifiited just before his departure on his ten days' cruise along the coast. The jury has had the cases under consideration for a long time. They Involve contract matters closely related to transactions which already have resulted In sweeping action on the part of the Investigating officials. It is understood that three postal officials and a contractor are involved. Francis L. Hlne, vice president of the First National bank, said, "The failures were speculative episodes and in nowise affect the business situation, which I believe to be thoroughly aound."

Up to the present time, sayt the dispatch, no policy could he more reasonable or more self restrained than Japan's, but that It Is impossible to conceal the fact that the uncertainty of the future causes uneasiness. The latest goBsIp In regard to a successor to Pope Leo XIII. seems to indicate that Cardinal Gottl's chances have Improved.

Main St. Lake City, Colo., July 23.—Mrs. Anna Bailey and Mrs. Mary Woods were ■hot from ambush about a mile from town when returning from Lake Shore. Mrs. Bailey Is mortally wounded, and Mrs. Woods Is In a serious condition. The assassin, who was concealed among rocks on the mountain side, fired a charge of buckshot at the women as they drove past. The shooting caused the horse to run away, and both women were thrown out of the buggy, receiving further injuries. Mrs. Woods' husband, who had quarreled with her, has been arrested and is being held for investigation. If Cardinal Rampolla finds that In the first ballot he has twenty-five or more votes he will try again, It Is said. If he has few votes and one of his opponents has many he will renounce his chanfce, and he and all his friends will support first Cardinal Gotti, with whom he now has come to some such agreement. This would mean the maintenance of Pope Leo's policy on exactly the same lines and Intrusted to the same men.

The emperor sent for MarquU Ito and received him in private audience. Nothing is known of what the Imperial commands were. The highest opinion states that the crisis may reach a momentous stage in the history ot Japan's constitutional government. II la said that the emperor is desirous ol Increasing the dignity of Marquis Itc by drawing him closer to his side and entirely away from party management. The emperor's proposal has been ma tured by the growing difficulties of the Manchurian and Korean questions and the desire of the Katzura cublnet to resign. London, July 25.—The St. James Gazette today announces that President Roosevelt may visit If reelected next year. The matter has been mentioned to Roosevelt, the paper says. He said nothing would give him more pleasure. The fact that there is an unwritten law in America against the President leaving the country will not be an Insurmountable obstacle, as It is not likely that serious objection would be made If Roosevelt left the country for a short time.
