There wore some special point.? of weakness, notiibly smelting. Its decline of 2 f,-s was due to disappointment over the failure of dividend action at tho recent director?' mooting. The weather reports from tho corn belt and the firm? ness of tho cereal markets as well as the rally In cotton had an unsatisfactory effect on ?loci:.?, and the reports of tho danger of a passenger war In tho north? west wore not liked.

Reports from Boston of a cut in copper, by a leading competitor depressed Amalgamated. Colorado fuel was hurt by tho vague rumors of a renewed outbreak of international dlsscn ?lons over the control of the company. Instead of the expected increase of $6.000, 000 In tho cash in tho banks, tho weekly statement shows a gain of only $1,863, Suo. Bonds have moved in sympathy with Stocks.

ROME, June 20.?Father Vatmann has bren In Rome for three days and is leav? ing Immediately for the United States. Ho has been received by Cardinals Sa? tolli and Rampola and by tho Pope. Ho (??ays that he has been received cordially everywhere, but It Is believed that he has not made a good Impression generally on the ecclesiastical authorities. He has spoken ungererously against the friars of the Philippines, whereas the tendency In Rome Is distinctly In favor of retaining them as far as possible. Tho Sacred Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs, which Is the chief authority on the religious situation In the Philippines, contains a majority of cardinals belonging to the religious or? ders. All tho cardinals are growing more and more concerned about the fato of the church In the archipelago, owing to tho fact that there Is not at present one-third of the number of pilosis neces? sary for tho islands, and there Is little prospect of finding them slnco the supply of regular clergy from Spain has ceased. It Is announced hero that Mgr. O'Con ncll, rector of Washington University, Is omlng to Rome nt tho end of the schol? astic year to rorort progress to Cardinal Satolli, as Prefect of the Congregation of Studies. Cardinal Satolli has become Bishop ot Frascati?ono of tho six suburban dio? ceses of Rome. It is likely that Cardinal Serafino A'fenrmtolU, hitherto ?icnorally regarded as among the most "palpable," Is to ba appointed vice-chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, succeeding Cardinal Pa rocchi. This position Is commonly re? garded as sending Its occupant Into re? tirement, although technically It Is the highest oflice In Rome. TRACK TO BALLAST BEDS Platinum and Gold Prospectors?Ex? perimental Macadam Road. (Special to The Times-Dispatch.) REIDSVILDE, N. C, June 20.-Thc Southern is building a track to a point out from Stacy's, five miles north of here, where a very large supply of ballast will be obtained at a nominal cost. A large forco of men have been at wark nnd In a short time the lino win be complotedi The Southern yesterday gave an ordor to the St. Clair Construction Company, of St. Clair, ?. C, for a huge rock crusher, which will crush rock for Ihn btllnst on the new double tracie lino, l?uc.y's la a splendid point, being right at any f??? llty of rock nnd In easy reach of a long stretch of mileage on each side. Colonel Stilli, representing a wealthy platinum and gold-mining com.op.',y, of Ariaonn, is spending a fow days m Pel hum, Inspecting oros recently found on the lands of T. J. Coloniali, Raspue Deck and M. R. Fitzgerald, Hnmplss of this oro were recently sent Colonel Stlth and ho seems very much Impressed with the same, Heneo his visit there to Jnspoct with a view to purchasing either the lands or mining rights. A representative of the Southern Ral] wuy has boon In Polham for several r?uys trying to purchaso land upon which to orcct an Immenso coul chute, The county commissioners soems to ho In earnest in their efforts to havo Rock? Ingham ronds put in good simpo. Tho doubling of tho lovy will enublo them to havo two snuads of convicts nt work and it is moro than probable, that a macadam road will bo built us an experiment, As It was contended by ilio opposition to the bond Issue that the proper way to macadamise roads was by direct taxa? tion, tho commissioners will not moot with any position In tho work they are plan? ning.

WASHINGTON, June 20. ? Attorney Gonorul Knox had prepared to-day a stip? ulation In the naturo of a bond, wnlch on Monday will bo filed with Judge Grin nan, of tho Chancery Court of Richmond, practically covering tho government's in? terest in tho Galveston. This emulation or bond, it !?; assumed, will more than covor tho claims of tho creditors nga'.nsl the Trlgg Company for work dono and material used on tho ship. After the stipulation Is filed it la bollovcd that Judge Grlnnan will Immediately release tho ship to tho government. It was learned at tho Navy Department to-day that far greater interests are in? volved in tho decision of the question of the possession of tlio cruisers Galveston and Chattanooga than are represented by the actual onsh value of thoso boats. It Is regarded us absolutely essential at this stage to establish a sound precedent and determine the question of tltlo to war vessels under construction in ordpr to protect tho government's Interest In tho ownership of at least a dozen ships, Including battleships worth nearly five million dollar? each. Similar action will lie taken in tho case of the Chattanooga, building at KUlzabnthport, nnd it Is there foro probable that no further delays will be encountered In tlio completion of tho Galveston and the Chattanooga, while any show of'force or duress on tlio part of tlia national government wlU be avoided. It Is fully expected that, similar' nctlon to that about to be token In the case'of these two cruisers will bo noens sary in tlio case of some ' rntioh lhr?cr warships now. on tho stocks. ?.EET ON SATURDAY Much Interest In the Selection of the Library Committee.
