Cardinal Rampolla as Pope Ambition Sparks Italian Debate
The press analyzes Cardinal Rampolla as a papal candidate amid Leo XIII’s nearing end of pontificate. Critics allege Rampolla wields power through a trusted network, shaping Vatican policy, while others fault his influence and favor from Italian church minds. His background, education at Rome's Jesuit college, and service since 1869 are noted as factors fueling speculation about his future. In a separate item, the Ward Line steamer Monterey from Mexico and Havana suffers a gale off Delaware Capes, disabling its starboard engine and forcing port arrival.

Boundary Lines in Dispute Save Texas Land Claim
Boundary lines in Texas face a dispute as a 1901 act fixes the 100th meridian as the eastern boundary from Red River north to Lipscomb county. The new line would grant Texas a narrow strip, cutting 112 12 sections or about 72,000 acres from Lipscomb, Hemphill, Wheeler, Collingsworth and Childress counties. If permanent, owners west of the line would lose land and titles. Texas seeks congressional authorization for a joint survey to redefine the line.
