Rome, July 20, 4:20 p. m.?The Pope died shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon. His last mo ments were comparatively peace ful and painless, and were preced ed by a period of insensibility. Around his bedside at the final moment were the cardinals, rela tives and members of the papal court. Before lapsing into un consciousness, the dying pontiff ieebly moved his lips, his last ar ticulate words being those used in bestowing the benediction. Gradually the shadow of death spread over the pontiff, his ex tremities became cold, his features assumed the rigidity of death, and l)r. Lapponi noted his last fluttering heart-beats, which gradually became slower and slower until they finally stopped. The news of the Pope's death spread rapidly throughout Rome, and caused the most pronounced sensation, the whole city being in mourning. w nen, during tne alarming crisis, about iiood, he way lying perfectly motionless, while around him knelt the cardinals and other members of the papal court, praying and not knowing wheth er. the Pope was not already dead, without any preliminary restlessness, the pontiff opened his eyes which fell on Cardinal Oreglia, who was at his side, and he said solemnly: "To your eminence, who will so soon seize the reins of supreme power, I confide the church in these difficult times." Then Mgr. Bisletti, master of the chamber, asked for the Pope's benediction for the court, which the Pontiff granted, adding: "Be this my last greeting." President Roosevelt is deeply1 touched by the death of Pope Leo. t)n teing informed of the demise of the head of the Catho lic church, he dictated the follow ing for the Associated Press: "The President expresses pro found regret at the death of the venerable pontiff, whose long career no less than his exalted character has commanded the respect of all Christendom." The State Department sent the following cablegram to Cardinal Rampolla: "The President desires me to express the profound sense of loss wtoich the Christian world has sustained in the death of his holi ness, Leo XIII. By his lofty character, great learning and comprehensive charity, headorn ed his lofty station and made his reign one of the most illustrious, as it has been one of the longest, in the history of the Catholic Church.
