ROME, Sept. 1.-THE popes health is said
to be better than FOR long time. Never
theless. his physicians insist more vigor-
ously than ever that he observe their hygi-
enic prescriptions in order that he may be
strong enough to receive the various
pilgrimages now being organized. IL is the
intention of the pope to receive each one Of
these in special audience and with appro-
| PIRATE addresses. Preliminary arrange
ments are being made for several beatif-
cations during the pilgrimages beginning
| with the French.
| OFFICIALS IN A HUFF.
Several of the prominent officials at the
vatican have asked to be relieved OF cfflce
Among these are Cardinal Rampolla, Sec
rotary of state, and Mgr. Mocconi, assiBt-
ant secretary of state Tho latter Is said to
bo displeased because he has not been made
cardinal, and becluse Others younger In
years and official life have been preferred
for high diplomatic posts.
Immediately after the pilgrimaRes, which
are expected 10 restore the finances of the
vatican, the pope will hold "a consistory,
which was postponed last Nav on account
of tho heavy losses that were then sus-
tained.

The pope has expressed desi re TO the
Cortosa monks that there be founded in
Rome grand Cortosa where all novices of
the order may receive Instructions. The
consent OF the general house ut Grenoble is

has awakened tho jealousy OF the Benadic-
tine order, who complain that the pope no
longer thinks of constructing the grand
college which he hos promised TO build for
them on Mount Aventine.

LITTLE COAL GOES OUT.
Increased Activity Along the Wharves for q
Few Days at Least.

Increased Activity Along the wharves for q
Few Days at Least.
Very little coal got away this rise, owing
to the shallow water. The Conway took y
light barges for Joseph Walton & Co., the
Frank Gilmore left with six light barges and
five flats. Many firms were chary of send
ing out coal, and are accordingly happy,
after the disaster that overlook the Wood
fleet. The majority of the rivermen spoken
to in regard to the lowering of the wickets
on such slight rise thought that if it had
been done even more damage weuld have
resulted and it was a mistake to send out
heavier craft than the rise called for. One
prominent river man stated that Captain
Martin was, in his opinion, the right man
in the right place, and while he exercised
his own judgment in the raising and lower
ing of the wickets, he thought that it was
just. The damage done to the Woods could
not be compared with what would have
occurred to the different firms if those
wickets had been lowered.
The firm of John A. Wood & Son claim
they would save all of their coal, and with
out loss, if a rise would come within few
days, but otherwise the coal will have to be
transferred, which will make an additional
expense.
Several of the larger boats are still tied up
at the Davis Island dam. Owing to the block
smaller craft are able to go AROUND by what
is known as the light craft channel.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
THE SHARE MARKET SLUGGISH, BUT
PRICES IMPROVED.

A Higher Opening Succeeded by Selling
Pressure and Decline-The Market Re-
covers and Advances Steadily to the
Close-More Gold Shipments Engaged.
NEW YORK, June 2-The dealings in the
stock market to-day retained their late pro-
fessional character, and the movements,
after those of the first hour, were generally
very small. The foreign operations are in
significant again, but further engagements
of gold for export were made, and great
scarcity of commercial bills in the market
is reported, so that, notwithstanding the
large amount of gold sent out in the last
two months, the rates for exchange are kept
up to figure where gold may be sent with
out loss.
The market to-day opened materially
higher on demand from the shorts. The
opening gains extended to "a per cent with
st. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and Union
Pacific leading. This demand was met by q
renewal of the selling pressure, and all of
the opening gains were wiped out, with
small fractions in addition among
the leading shares More quiet trad
ing succeeded, and slow but steady
advance soon brought prices up to and
movement continued without break dur
ing the remainder of the day. The steady
advance lifted everything but Jersey Cen
trail, which dropped per cent and recovered
only-~-a small portion of the loss.
The close was fairly active and
strong at the best prices. The final
changes of note include advances of " in
st. Paul and per cent each in Missouri Pa
cific and Rock Island, and loss of ~ in Jer-
sey Central
There was the usual quiet business in rail-
road bonds, which, however, was more
widely distributed than usual of late. The
sales, reached only $562, 900, and the final
changes, as a rule, are insignificant.
