ARCHBISHOP KENRlCK.
Dr. Rocker Says He Has Merely Been Retired
 With FituIar Honors.

Washington, June 6.-Nothing has been received at the papal legation in this city that will throw any additional light upon the change in the archbishop ric of St. Louis.
 Dr. Rocker, secretary of Monsigeur Satolli, said that the change was merely a retirement for Archbishop Kenrick and the appointment of Archbishop Kain to the full responsibility and title of the position In a financial way, it was stated that the change would doubtless be an improvement to Archbishop Ken rick, for, as pensioner upon the see, he would probably receive a larger sum than his income as archbishop in service. In the latter capacity he was entitled to and received only as much as was neces- sary for his living and travelling ex penses, but as a retired archbishop he would be in receipt of stated sum be- fitting the dignity and requirements of his station. pr. Rocker confirmed the statement that the change was made simply for the purpose of simplifying the legal difficulties that have grown out of Archbishop Kenrick's enfeebled condi- ton. Archbishop Kenrck will continue to reside in St. Louis and will become titular archbishop of some abandoned

question of dates satisfactorily to all concerned. The Brighton Beach assoeia- ton will begin racing on Friday, July 4, and not on June IT, as originally in- tended. The Coney Island Jockey club will begin with the Suburban handicap on June 15, and continue racing every al- ternate day until July 4. The interven- ing days belong to the Coney Island Jockey club if that organization chooses to avail itself of them. Brighton Beach will have racing every day until July 13. On July IA the Queens County Jockey club will begin summer meet ing at Aqueduct park. This will con tinue one week and then Brighton Beach will again be the scene of operations for week. Aqueduct park and Brighton Beach will alternate with each other.
 There will be a weeks racing at one track and then a weeks racing at the other beginning at Aqueduct park on July IA and ending at Brighton Beach on August 24. This arrangement will give the Brighton Beach twenty-siX racing days and seventeen racing days to Aqueduct park. After the fall meet ings at Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend there will be supplementary meetings at Brighton Beach and Aqueduct park. The racing season will close in this state with an ultra fashionable meeting at Morris Park.

LUCKY MIR. PUGH.
Twice Legislated Out of Office, He Catches
 On Again.

Washington, June 6-The president has appointed Edward A. Bowers assis- tant comptroller of the treasury, vice Mansur, deceased; and William H. Pugh to be auditor of the treasury for the navy department vice Morton, removed Pugh is close friend of Secretary Car lisle, which fact doubtless caused the president to continue him in the service of the government. MT. Pugh comes from Cincinnati and took office under this administration soon after MT. Cleve- lands inauguration as commissioner of customs, in which place he remained un- til the investigation of the Dockery com mission, which legislated him out of the office. Secretary Carlisle detailed him for a special class of work and after the enactment of the tariff law he was made chief of the income tax division, only to be again retired from office by virtue of the decision of the supreme court up- setting the income tax.
 MT. Bowers is now assistant land com missioner
 William J. Coombs, ex-member of con- gress from New York, has been ap- pointed government director of the Union Pacific railroad.

Keenan belonged to the chemical com pany, next door to engine company No. 3, to which Founder and Laird be- longed, and there was considerable jeal- ousy between the two companies. Founder was a witness in the investiga- ton, and Keenan attributed his dis charge to Founders evidence. He an- nounced to several parties that he in- tended to settle the matter with Poun- der, and the latter having been wa1n was prepared for him. Keenan came into headquarters about 6 o'clock with John Duffy. another discharged fire man, and meeting Founder attacked him, striking him several blows in the face Founder jerked loose and, drawing a pistol from his shirt bosom, fired five shots in rapid succession. Four of the bullets took effect, two in the head, one in the left shoulder and one in the neck. One ball pierced the right temple, and the one in the neck severed the carotid artery. Keenan was dead before strik- ing the ground. Founder surrendered to the first policeman who came up.

SOUTHEASTERN TARIFF MEN.
Discussion of Recommendations in the Pres.
 ident's Annual Report.

lueHb Annual hepOpb.
 Washington, June 6.-The Southeast ern Insurance Tariff association met this morning asa committee on business, with MT. Knowles of Atlanta in the chair, for the consideration of recommendations made by President Eggleston in his an- nual report.
 The principal item discussed this morning was the competition of Lloyds and Mutuals, and it was disposed of by the adoption of a resolution referring the matter to the executive committee with power to act, to protect the business of the associations companies.
 The matter of representation by agents of companies not cooperating with the association also gave rise to considerable discussion, and several propositions were referred in respect thereof. One of these was quite radical in it's terms proposing that all association companies withdraw from any agency in which a non-associ- ation company was represented. But this was objected to generally as inevita- bly, leading to rate war. The matter was referred to the executive committee, who were authorized in their discretion to dispose of each case as 1t should arise, and also given discretion in the matter of furnishing tariffs to representatives of other companies.

 Scranton. Pa., June GA serious mine squeeze, resulting from the caving in of the working of the Providence Coal com pany, occurred this morning in the neighborhood of Church's 's4acorners. in this city. Five double dwelling blocks, fronting on North Main avenue, and owned by Peter Cerrini, John Zuiflich, Thomas Green, County Superintendent Taylor and Nelson Featherby, and each occupied by two families, were damaged considerably. The buildings were thrown out of plumb and their walls and cell ings so cracked as to make it impossible to open the doors. Outbuildings and fences were twisted by the force of the disturbance. Property owners are in .censed over the matter, and lay the blame on the Providence Coal company, which has continued robbing mill pillars, it is said, without regard to surface protection. There is talk of beginning legal proceedings.

THE DECREASE 11.6 PERCENT
Alabama Has 1 1 Per Cent Less Acreage Than
 Last Year.
THE CROP IS uNQUEsTioNABLY LATE
The Condition of the Plant Was Less Satis- factory at the Close of the Month Than Last Year-Necessa-
 rily Unpromising.

New York, June 6.-The Chronicle has issued it's annual statement of cotton acreage stand and condition The esti- mated decrease in acreage by states is as follows: North Carolina, 20 per cent; South Carolina, 10 per cent; Georgia, 13 per cent Florida, 5 per cent; Alabama, II per cent; Mississippi, 10 per cent; Louisiana, 14 per cent; Texas, Il per cent; Arkansas 12 per cent; Tennessee, per cent; other states and territories, 121s per cent. The average decrease Is 116 per cent. The acreage Is 17,767, 663 against 20,107,247. The small decrease in Florida is due to larger planting of sea island cotton.
 The crop is unquestionably late. The condition up to May 27 was not favora- ble It is not certain whether perma- nent injury has resulted or not. Probably serious harm has resulted in only linn ited areas. Cultivation has not been as thorough as it was year ago.
 There has been very heavy decrease in the taking of commercial fertilizers, but of homemade fertilizers a slightly greater use Is reported.
 The condition of the plant was less satisfactory at the close of the month than at the same date last year. The states of less promise are the Carolinas and Georgia, but the plant is late al- most everywhere, and so Is farm work The condition is not necessarily unprom- ising, but more depends upon future de- velopment than has been the case in some other productive years.

FURTHER ADVANCES IN IRON Have Added Strength to an AL
 ready Strong Situation,
 SAYS IRON TRADE REVIEW
Heavy Sales of Bessemer Pig the Chief lnci-
 dent of the Week.
SOUTHERN IRONS ADVANCE 25 CENTS
Furnaces Gives Promise of Increasing Strongth-Good Orders in Struc-
 tural Material at Pittsburg.

Cleveland O., June 6.-The Iron Trade Review says: Another week of expand ing demand in the iron trade and of further advances in pig iron and some lines of finished material has added strength to an already strong situation. Heavy sales of 'Bessemer pig iron at Pittsburg and in the valley have been the chief incident of the week, the mar ket having gone to SIP at Pittsburg The estimate for the basis of the second half of the year is an interesting fact about these transactions, and there are coke deals involved which indicate that some furnaces at least will pay $1.50 for fuel in the next six months. Indications are that S135, the nominal price today, will be close to the actual basis for the summer and fall.
 Now that the situation as to Bessemer iron and coke has been somewhat cleared up, there will be renewal of activity in steel and other products, about which there has been uncertainty as to the third quarter of the year. Southern irons have scored another advance of 25 cents, and the sold up condition of we'll known furnaces gives promise of in- creasng strength. Northern foundry irons are now up $1.50 from the lowest point, and forge iron in the valley has sold at s10 in the week. A demand con tinues that gives no suggestion of reac- tion, and at the same time there Is no disposition to jump prices at a boom pace. Bar silver, without any organiza- tion, has advanced about equally with bar iron the former being $1.10 to $1.15 at Pittsburg. Further good orders in stuctural material have been followed by another advance of $1 ton at Pitts b1Irg

 There are comparatively few bicyclists in Montgomery, but those here are pro- testing vigorously against the ordinance introduced into the city council at its last meeting by Alderman Strauss. The measure if passed, will prohibit the rid ing of a wheel on any sidewalk In the city limits on pain of from $1 to $100 fine. The Montgomery wheelmen claim that the effect of the ordinance will be to break up wheeling in this city. There is already an ordinance prohibiting rid ing on the sidewalks within the fire linn its, and they think that that is sufficient.
