April 5: ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Briefly

The article covers notable historical events reported by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on April 4th across different years. In 1875, Canada’s tea and coffee importers requested the government to impose a 10% duty on imports from the U.S. in retaliation for U.S.'s similar actions. In 1903, discussions about King Edward's potential visit to the Pope revealed uncertainties about the meeting, reflecting Vatican considerations regarding British Catholics. Additionally, the Pope's physician assured that the Pope was in good health, countering rumors of his decline, albeit with a recommendation for fewer audiences during Holy Week.
The tea and coffee importers of the Dominion of Canada have asked their government to retaliate for the imposition of ten per cent duty by the United States.

The Vatican thinks that owing to the number of Catholics in the British Empire, the King will not come to Rome without trying to see the Pope.
Dr. Lapponi, the Pope's physician, authorized a denial of the statements made regarding the Pope's health, declaring he was in perfect health.
