From the Washington point of view the visit of udge Parker lias been a failure. It is reported here that David B. II ill Is furious over the poor show ing made by his protege in the south- era states. Ilill hoped much from Parker. It has long been understood that he was to be Hill's stalking horse in- the next national convention of the democrats and Hill expected him to show up better than he has in the trying out.

According to a public man who talked over the situa tion, in ew i ork a few days ago, Hill expresses his disgust by saying: I expected him to be a lawyer and retain his judicial he had too much dignity to warm up the people down there. "Parker's speech was along legal lines and not once did he permit himself to border on poli tics unless it was the turn he gave his discussion of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution-and his-appeal to southern prejudice by declaring that it never could have been passed and to become a part of the constitution had it not been for the conditions immediately following the civil war. Parker was popular with the south ern people, and it is admitted was w7armly discussed before they saw him. The near view has put them all at sea again, and they are turning back to Gorman for their ideal. Only a corporal's guard of them, except in the western south, cling to Bryan.

Certain eastern democrats of the Hill type expected much from Parker's southern visit. They labored long and hard with him to induce him to make some agreement covering a number of political speeches in the south, but these are unavailing-. He clung to the traditions of his ermine, and it was with some misgivings in the minds of those who were grooming him, that he left for the south. It mattered not that the southern engagement was made long before Judge Parker's name was connected with the presidency, for the men who brought him out presumed to influence him and coach him in the parts that he was to play in the south How poor was his coaching or what wanton disregard he showed it is indicated by the recent expressions of dissatisfaction.

A slight improve ment is manifested In the primary ailment but the condition of the kidneys now gives cause for a renewal of anxiety. This is increased by the danger of the pontiff's heart giving out at any moment. In a general way, Tiowever, the brave old patient may be said to be more comfortable than for several days. The doctors now say that they would scarcely be surprised if the see saw between life and death continues for another fifteen days. This aft ernoon the patient received in audi ence three cardinals.

Rome, July 11. The pope slept and his general condition is reported good. Contrary to his usual habit the pope did not get up this morning, not because of any unusual depress ion, as his general condition Is somewhat improved, but because the doc tors urged him to rest as much as possible and stay in bed. The forewarning comes from author itative sources, thus disproving a re port that the pope was failing rapidly. At noon the pope took his midday nourishment of sweet breads, chicken, jelly, and a small glass of wine.

Shortly after the midday meal the pope fell into a peaceful sleep, which still continues. The pope slept several hours and those about him considered the sleep to be unnatural and arising from an augmentation of weakness. At 4 o'clock he awak ened and dissipated the fear of the approach of a state of coma. A representative of the Associated Press saw the pope's doctors after this morning's visit and they assured him that the amelioriation which had taken place in the condition of the pope since the last operation was more noticeable than any which had occurred sincel tlte pontiff became ill, but it was not sufficient to enable them to consider the patient out of imminent danger. Nevertheless, hopes of the pope's recovery have again risen at the Vatican through the restful night taken as a whole, passed by the pontiff.

Lapponi paid a visit to the pope at 1 o'clock. The pontiff at first was not in good humor, saying he could not stand remaining so many hours in bed, never having been accustomed to lying down for longer than four or live hours at a time. The doctor however.succeeded in convincing him that when persons are ill it is neces sary to change their nanus even they seem not to be so comfortable. 'Rut is it really necessary?" asked the pontiff. Lapponi replied: "It is not in dispensable, but it will certainly as sist our efforts." "Then," concluded the pope, "I must do so." After this the pontiff's face as sumed its habitual bright, benevolent expression and he smiled as he-bad done in his best moments.

This con versation with the doctor succeeded in so the pope that he refused to see his confessor. Having expressed a desire to hear mass, the pontiff's secretary celebrated It in the chapel adjacent to thesick room. Later in the day the pope received Countess Canalli and Countess Moro ni, his nieces, and after a short chat with them asked about Monsignor Volpini, saying: "What is the matter? Why does he not come to see me?" It was explained to the pon tiff that the excitement of the last few days had overcome Volpini, who was quite unwell. But the pope was not informed that Volpini was dead. A rumor circulated to the effect that the pope is suffering from inflammation of the kidneys is denied by Dr.

Mazzoni. Rome, July 11. 7 p. m. The pope has passed the day quietly and hi general condition remains satisfactory.

SOME KANSAS RAIN; IN FAR EA5T. Kansas City, "July 1L Light rains are reported last night and today at Emporia, Florence, Lawrence and Concordia, cooling the atmosphere.

MULLINS STILL AT LARGF. Junction City, July 11. Gil bert Mullins, who lead the mutiny at Ft. Leavenworth prison in Novem ber, 1901, and who has been in the county jail tiere for the past year awaiting trial on the charge of having murdered one of the guards in muti ny, led an assault on bhenn this morning' about 8 o'clock and effected his escape. The sheriff was giving the prisoners their breakfast and there was no one besides he and the prisoners in jail.

Mullins was assisted in his break for liberty by one white and two negro prisoners. The sheriff was overpowered and badly cut about the head but he succeeded in getting the cell door closed before all the prisoners could get out. The four men who made the asaults ran through the east part or town toward the river which is thickly bordered with timber. The sheriff followed them in a buggy and posses were quickly organized and joined the chase. Shortly before noon two of the negroes were captured and re turned to the jail.

Later soldiers were sent over from Ft. Riley to as sist in the hunt. It is thought that Mullins and his companion are still in the timber about two miles east of town. The four men fled in a body and when they arrived at the river they compelled a fisherman to row them to the other side.

STORE CLOSED TILL THAT DATE Bankrupt Sale Will Probably low This Gathering-. THR ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The closing of the doors of the Sherear store yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, was the result of a care ful canvass of the situation by Mrs.

Shearer and her attorney, and was decided upon as the fairest means of treatment of all creditors. Efforts had been "previously made to reach some arrangement by which the stock and indebtedness could be asumed by one individual, and the assets closed out for the benefit of all creditors, thus saving the expense of the bank ruptcy proceedings to the creditors and to Mrs. Shearer, but it was found impossible to hold off the creditors, andythe proceedings were taken which resulted in the closing of the store as announced yesterday. J. G.

Slonecker, referee in bank ruptcy, whose office is in Topeka, has appointed Ord. Clingman as tempor ary trustee, and he has charge of all the property scheduled as assets. A meeting has been called for July 28 at the office of Judge J.Q.A. Norton, who is Mrs. Shearer's legal advisor, and thecreditors are invited to meet there and select a permanent trustee and take such other action as is nec essary under the law.

The schedule of assets and liabili ties shows approximately $45,000 in assets and about $55,000 in liabilities, Of the latter amount probably 000 is preferred, the creditors having security on real estate. These pre ferred and secured claims will be first paid, after the balance will be divided among the other creditors, There is no lien on the stock of goods in the store, but every piece of real estate is encumbered. After the meeting of the creditors on uly 28 it is likely some steps will be taken for the disposition of the stock, and a bankrupt sale will probably result. Whether or not the goods will "be sold in a bunch or thrown on the market for retail buy ers has not yet been determined. Some of the steps that have been taken since the bankruptcy proceedings were commenced, are exciting strenuous protest from those who have the interest of both parties at heart, and it is more than likely that there will be other trouble "in connection with the matter before the affairs are finally closed up for the' disposal of the stock for the benefit of the creditors.

The store will re main closed until after the meeting of the creditors, and a decision as to what is to be done in the premises. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
