H London. July 23,-The Information u to the
H Pope's ierlous stato of health cabled a fort-
H nEit ago requires no modification. Tho news-
papers of nom publish nil sorts of reports
H dally Thoy are mostly posslmlstio and tho
H Vatican organs continue vainly to assert that
H his Hollness's health leaves llttlo to bo desired.
H n Is true that the Pope receives visitors and
toe out In the Vatican gardens dally. He has
H also celebrated mass aovoral times latoly. Theso
H things merely omphaslso tho fact that tho Popo
l not nn ordinary patient. When It was a
question of appreciably prolonging his llfo to
tho Church there wore no precautions too
H elaborate, no regulations too wearying which
his Holiness did not tnko and observe
The position is dlllorout now. Leo XIII. a
H sun Is sotting, and ho knows that tho night Is
H not far oft. So doos every member of the 8a
H cred College, and eyos are being strained oven
H now In directions where beams of light socm to
H Indicate the rising sun. Quite a number of
H conferences of Cardinals have been held In the
H last ten days, notably one whereat Cardinal
Parocchl. the Pope's Vicar, presided. Thlsdls-
tlngulshed prlnco of the Church Is thought to
V have a good chance of succeeding to the ohalr
H ofBt Peter His lnfluenco In the Baorcd College
H Is great. . ,
Another Cardinal who Is regarded as very
H parable" Is Archbishop Bvampa of Bologna,
H He had not visited Bonio In many years until
this neck. He has now conferred with almost
H every Caidlnnl In Romo. Tho most dangerous
H rival to mrocchl and Bvampa Is Cardinal Bam
H polla. the Papal Secretary of Btate. It Is ro
H ported that Leo XIII. favors Eampolla as his
H successor. Previous to the recent rioting In
H Italy Cardinal Ferrari. Archbishop of Milan.
H had great influence In tho Baored College but
IH hlsuamv Is never mentioned now. There la no
H question of electing a foreign Cardinal.
H Beginning this week, the Pope had a long
H conference with Cardinals Ledochowski. Sa
H toll! and KampoUa. and It was subsequently ro
ll ported that tlio subject of discussion was tho
H Hlspnno-American war. There Is now reason
H to bolloe that tho conference related to tho
H prospect of an early conclave, and the Pope
H gave u long exposition of his vlows. The three
H Cardinals mentioned nio exocutorsot his wlU.
H and he has oniolued them to plaoe his body In
H the llasillca St. John Lateran. near the tomb of
j Innocent III. Tho Pope has designed his own
j tomb, and has already commissioned the soulp
H tor Lucchettl to executo It in marble. The
H Bun's Home correspondent has Been the design,
H which la simple in character. The flguro of

GOSCHEN'S NAVAL talk.
It Is Popular, 'Whether It Is Tare Blnfl or
Deadly Earnest.
Spinal Cablt Dapateh to Tnr Bra.
Losuos, July 23-The only thing certain
about Mr Coschcn's declaration as to tho In
crease of tho navy Is Its unlvorsal popularity.
Ecn the Opposition only pretend to oppose It.
confining themselves to criticism of the irregu
larity of tho flnanoial proceedings.
Tho meaning of the movo Is not clear. It
may bo merely British bluff answering Rus
sian bluff. It may really bo In earnest Some
accept it as an honest intention In pursuance
of tho policy of the British navy to equal the
combination of any possible two rivals.
Others suggest that friendship stimulates
arnnmonts rather than the opposite efleot.
Wherein may be seen the effect of the Anglo
American entente.
Thoro Is no doubt that the effectiveness of
tho Amorlcan Navy has deeply impressed the
British naval authorities, with the probable re-
suit that the quality as well as the quantity ot
H tho British Navy will reoelva henceforth greater
H attention.
H The Standard's despatch to the effect that
M Russia has abandoned the proposed increase In
H her navy Is widely regarded here as a further
attempt to blind the Britishers.

The Gregg Estate Said to Rave Sold One
Half of Its Holdings.
Baxttuobi. Md., July 23. Interests friendly
to the Reorganization Committee of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company are buying
all the common stock ot the company offered
around current prioes. The sale of Miss Mary
Garrett's holdings has been confirmed, and
now it Is said that the Gregg estate, which, next
to the Garrett, Is the largest Individual holding
of Baltimore and Ohio stock, has disposed ot
about half Its stock and Is negotiating tor the
sale otthe remainder.
The Johns Hopkins University Is also said to
have sold Its oommon stock to persons Identi
fied with the Reorganization Committee. Tho
Johns Hopkins University originally held 15.
000 shares, but exchanged the greater part
for first preferred stock, retaining between
2,600 and 3,000 shares of the oommon. Other
interests prominently identified with the prop
erty are considering the advisability of seUing
their holdings In order to escape the payment
of the assessment fixed by the reorganization.
The trustees of the Johns Hopkins Univer
sity have declined definitely to accept the terms
offered In the plan for the reorganization of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on tho ground
that a suit in nprnllnir to determine the status
of the preferred stock, the holders contending
that it Is a Hen prior to the mortgages. It Is
probable that tho special committee appointed
for tho purpose of pushing the litigation and
determining the course of the first and second
preferred stockholders as regards the reorgan
ization soheme will hold another conference
before Aug. 1. Application will be made soon
for a deoree of foreclosure of tho mortgages of
the main line and branches, and the property
will be restored to the bondholders by Jan. 1.

dar that ho did not think thoro was much
strength In tho alleged boom for Col. Theo
dore Roosovolt ns a Republican candi
date for Governor. Tho First district of
Cattaraugus Republicans havo recommend
ed tho nomination of Col. Roosovclt
There Is a little sentiment for Roosovolt as the
candldato In Brooklyn In odd snots, nnd a simi
lar fooling prevails In nooks of New York coun
ty. But ns yet It has not takon definite form,
It was admitted last night by Republi
cans who had discussed tho matter with
Senator Piatt that tho talk about Col. Roosevolt
may osaumo largor proportions, and yet. as
far as could bo learned, all talk about
Roosevolt as a posslblo candldato on
a Ropubllcan ticket for Governor has
been without Roosevelt's knowledge Tho
Roosovolt boom, in fact, has boen ono of the
mystorlos of recont evonts In politics. The
political reporters hnvo had some troublo to
hunt It down.
It was traced last night to ox-Exolso Com
missioner Josoph Murray, who was custodian
ot the New York Custom Houso when Col.
Roosovolt was a United States Civil Servloo
Commissioner under Frosldont Harrison.
Mr. Roosevelt has been a political district
proWa5 of Mr. Murray, nnd Mr. Mur
ray has boon in turn n protcge
of Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Murrny Is very mendlr
to 5Ir. Hooiovelt nnd would take any reason
able steps to bring nbout Mr. Roosovolt's politi
cal advancement
The Republicans associated with the organi
zation saul they could not see how Co), Roose
velt could break Into tho situation at this timo.
They spoke in glowing terms of his career as a
soldlor nt Hnnungo nnd they admitted that in
tho dally walks of llfo they had met mnny
volant who said they would like to vottt for Col.
Roosevolt on a Republican rnndidato tor Gov

free and dashlngand oxhilnrutlns. but nevorthe
Icbs nnd nothwithHtaiiglng ail this the Republi

that Col. Roosovolt would mnko n mighty poor
Executive officer in tho Lxocutlvo Chamber at
Albany. They did not doubt his honesty of
purpoao and his sterling Republicanism, but
they added that something moro than these
aualillcatlons were necessary to mako a good

Ex-Sonator David B. Hill had a talk with

If the Domocrats can get together,
forget iKirsnnul nnd factional djsnutes. and
arrive at somo conclusion as to a platform, tho
Democrats will hnvo a show of olcctlng their
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor this fall.
No Democrat who has been inter
viewed within tho last week or two Is
ready to say that tho Democrats can
capture the Legislature. Most of tho Democrats
talked with bellovo that tho apportionment
uudor tho new Constitution It fearfully
against them, and yet they nro prepared to
mako a struggle, for the reason that eomn of
these Democrats nro convinced that the Citi
zens' Union of New York city Is to preeipitnto

The Democrats havo now no candidates for

They admit that they aro sadly In need of inn
torial. Naturally, there aro mnny candidate? for
other places on the Democratic btato ticket, and
among the mnst favored candidates is Thomas
II. Dowd of Balamawn. a lawyer and a sturdy
Bryanito and a believer in the Demooratlc
national platform of 1800. All of Mr. Down's

The Coney Island pollco arrested last night
Arthur Morrison, 22 years old. and three boys
who had been living with Morrison In a fur
nished room at Clemen's Hotel, on Bushman's
walk. The four prisoners were hold as suspi
cious persons. The police say they are pick,
pockets.
During the past week coses ot robbery were
reported at Coney Island, together with fifteen
cases In which men lost their watches. Most of
the vlctlms.howoTOr. wore women whose pocket
books had been stolen. Police Captain Dunn
was satisfied that the thieving was the work ot
an organized gang of pickpockets. Last night
ho sent half a dozen of his men out to hunt tor
tho gang. They arrested Morrison.
At the station he refused to say anything
about himself. They learned that ho hod hired
a room in Clemen's Hotel a month ago. and
was paying the board of three boys who wore
bellsved to bo In his employ. Tho three boys
were arrested one after another. Tho first ono
taken to the police station said he was Joseph
Goldlng, 13 years old, ot Philadelphia. When
Capt Dunn asked him what work he bad boon
doing for Morrison. Morrison signalled
to him to keep quiet. The boy then refused
to answer questions. The second boy arrested
was Joseph Murphy. 13 years old, who said his
homo was In Philadelphia. He declined to say
anything further than that Morrison had in
structed him to keep silent in cuse bo should
ever be arrested.
She third boy arrested said ho was Edward
y. 17 years old, of 203 St Jnmes place,
Brooklyn. For over an hour Copt. Dunn kept
Daly in his room questioning him. Lator the
Captain said that Daly had made a statement
In which he alleged that Morrison hirod Gold
lng, Murphy and htmsolf to sell magazines at
Coney Island.
"Aftiir ffnttlncr tho throe bora down here."
said the Captain. "Morrison gave them a good
time for h couple of dayn and then told thorn
that he had hired them to pick pockets of visitors
to Coney Island. Ho hired the room in tho hotel
and there late at night he trained thorn, show
ing them, how to cut a pocket from a woman's
dress. Ho spent hours with them at practice,
and. when he had taught them tho art of pocket-picking,
he put them to work in the crowds
on Burt avenue. The Duly boy admits all this.
He also admits that tho members of the gang
all come from Brooklyn. When we arraign
them In court Goldlng and Murphy will prob
ably confess as Daly has done."

IS IIR WARNER, ZIIR JOIBBZXLEnr
A Man Arrested in Louisville Thought to II
tho Northampton Danker,
LotTiM,it, Ky July 23. A man believed to
bo Lewis Warner, tho embezzling hanker ot
Northampton, Mass., was arrested to-dny In
this city nnd Is now In custody pending n start
on Mondny for Northampton. Although tho
mnn uudorarrvst Insists that his name Is Frank
Williamson and not Lowls Warnor, there Is
llttlo doubt that he is tho man wanted In Massa
chusetts. When arrested ho was walking along
one of tho principal streets ot tho city, and was
espied by a friend of two detectives on tho city
foroo, who at once tolophonod to thom nt
Pollco Hoadquarters. Tho man was kopt
In sight and was still within hailing dls
tnnco of tho store from which tho mes
sage had boon sent when tho detcotlves
arrived and plaeod him under nrrost. no pro
tested Innocenco of anything for which his
arrest could hnvo beon possible, and declared
his nnmo to be Frank Williamson, but would
not glvo his homo nor the reason for his pres
ence In Louisville. At Pollco Hoadquartors ho
maintained his ldonttty as Williamson, but
would answer no questions. His personal np
poaranco so closely talllos with tho description
furnished bv tho Northampton authorities the
pollco horo declare thoro can bo no doubt the
man under urrcst Is tho Massaohunotts bankor.
A Northampton man who was In this city
about a month ago saw Warner on the streets
and notified tho police ot his being horo. He
kept hlmtelf out of sight nowover. or spend
ing most of his tlmo In the threo large parks ot
the ulty. and declares he " knows ovory foot of
ground In each ot thom." He visited the ex
ohango office ot a local newspaper frequently,
but did not loso a reserve which preserved him
from too eloso questioning. Ho made tnends
with Chlof of tho Fire Department Hughes.and
spent several evenings with him In his offloe
not halt a block from the dotcctlves' office. He
was seen going thore one evening boforo the
detectives were certain of his idontity. and did
not again show hlmsolt in any public place, but
conllncd his walks to tho parks, and the detec
tives several days ago received Information
which confirmed their suspicions that ho was
Warner. . , ...
At Pollco Headquarters ho underwent the
ordoal ot the " sweat ibox." The man's Imper
turbability was amusing and successful also,
HetulktHlof himself as "Frank Williamson "
with the utmost freedom and recited tho Inci
dents ot a career political, phllanthropicol.and
capitalistic, which tallied perfectly with what
he soon afterward said ho "had road in tho
papers concorning this man Warner who was
said to have embezzled MJO.OOO from the
Northampton National and Hampshire Havings
banks." Ho would not answer any questions,
saying he was "In a strange land without
money, friends or counsel.", hor would he say
wheuco ho coma horo. twolvo weoks ago the
day of his arrest, HewIU boreturnod to North
ampton on Monday, having volunteered to go
without requisition.

Bank, defaultod, the amount of hts embezzle
ment nnd the attending losses aggregating
ovor $040,000. The crimo was discovered
May 2l. by n simultaneous examination of the
two banks, by State and national bank examin
ers. The same day at noon. Warner, knowing
that the crime would be discovered, mado
his escape boforo the knowledge- had be
come known. That afternoon tho United
Stntos Mnrshal issued n warrant tor his
arrest, but ho was then beyond the
reach of the authorities. Ho was driven out of
tho city by his son and was reported to havo
been seen In Wostfleld early thnt uftornoou.
The examination of the banks had gone only
a few hours when a sorious and complicated
condition of affairs was discovered. Both
banks wore wrecked, and they wore olosed tho
next day. A curious statement left nt the bank
by Warner was found a few daja later. It
showed that Warner was already planning to
escape before discovery. Ho loft It ostensibly
toncsiBtln clearing up the wreck. It was n
curiout, tncohoront stafemeut; in effect It
showed ho had boon Involved for thirty
years; that tho money had been spent
nnd lost mostly in outsldo business
affairs. It said tho loss would bo
$31)0,000, divided nbout equally between tho
ranks. It has developed that tho loss In tho na
tional bnnk Is $'.M0.OO0and in tho savings bank
ovor $400,000. Tho latter wns In very bad con
dition, everything wns In confusion; the books
showed no method of accuracy. Assets were
padded, liabilities shrunk, old accounts kopt
open, mortgages were unrecorded, and thore
was S1H5.000 In worthless paper.
Both banks are now in tho hands of receivers.
The depositors In tho national bank will be
paid In full, but $250,000 capital will be nearly
wiped out The savings bank now appears to
be nble to pay about 70 per cent, on Its 'million
and a half deposits. It Is the worst financial dis
aster that over visited the Connecticut valley.

Memphis, Tonn., July 23. A duel botwoen
William Van Arabcrg Sullivan. United Btntos
Bonator from Mississippi, and Michael W.Con
nolly, editor ot tho Commercial Appeal, was ox
pectod to-dny, but Instead of tho noise ot pistol
shots tho public had tho unusual spcctnclo ot a
United Blntos Senator nnd one of tho best
known editorial writers In tho Southwest on
trial before a Justlco ot tho Pcaco.
Mr. Sullivan was tho nggressor In tho quarrel,
which nroBo over an editorial which Mr. Con
nolly wrote and which Mr. Sullivan denounced
as a Ho. The Bonator came to this city accom
panied by friends and notes passod betwocn
him and Mr. Connolly.
The pollco knew trouble was brewing and
were on tho olort, nnd the Vloe-Mayor of tho
city finally swore out peace warrants for tho
men. Tho editor nnd tho Bonator camo toco to
face In the court room. Both mon wanted to
CAodo tho pcaco bonds, for both are fighters.
Mr. Connolly made an address to the Court In
which ho said:
"If tho Court please, I presume this case Is
one of those In which rumor reveals the foots
on one side of an Impending conflict, and the
foots on the other side are assumed. I desire
to Insist that there Is no evidence before tho
Court to show that I am In any way Involved.
The testimony shows that I havo been attend
ing to my editorial duties a usual
duties that not only consume a great part
of every day, but also of every night In the
week. I havo committed no overt act made no
demonstrations or threats, and I assure you
that I am destitute ot that character of courage
which seeks to exploit Itself In the midst
of women and children on a arowded thorough
faro, and I am destitute of that character of
honor which seeks street broils with hoodlums,
who fight for glory, or with Hessians, who fight
for pay.
" If I over haTe a difficulty, and I slnoerely
hopo I never shall. It will be with some
ono who Is. at least officially, a gentleman,
and of this I see no present or prospective
dangor. It tho officials who swore out
tho warrant taking mo from my desk,
were moed by a desire to protect mo
I must say It wos entirely unnecessary, be
cause I havo prudonco enough to prevont me
from being led into an ambush to be assassi
nated by either domostlo or Imported bum
mers. I protest, your Honor, that this warrant
Is unnecessary, and tho charge upon which it
Is hosed Is groundless."
Everybody knew what the editor meant and
as both mon had trlonds in tho courtroom and
pistols wore plentiful bloodshed was expeotod.
The Senator did not say a word, nor did his at
torneys. Each of tho men was put under a
$2,500 peaoo bond. Senator Buluvan and his
party havo loft tho city, but further troublo Is
expected.

fact that tho customer brings tho bottle with
him. will not. therefore, relieve it from the ne
cessity of being properly stamped at the time
whon filled.
"Any druggist saloon keeper, grocer, or

plies to sales ot wlno by the bottle, whether
