ROME, July 25.-Although the pope is in
excellent health. the feeling prevails at
the Vatican that meeting OF the college
of cardinals cannot be far off, and there is
no secret that the candidates to the pa
pacy are making elaborate preparations for
this conclave.
One Of the chief characteristics Of the
next conclave, according to a high prel-
ate. will be the large number of candidates
for the chair Of St. Peter, whereas after
the death Of Plus TX there We're only two
or three candidates whose chances for the
papacy were serious. Today half the sa-
cred college aspires to the chair, and q
first scrutiny is expected to show six or
seven cardinals are favored for the pom
tihcate.
Those who are well informed anticipate
a deadlock. and the ultimate selection of
an outsider who has not yet been men
toned.

THE SEASONS SEAL CATCH.

Last Year.
From preliminary report. dated June
20, received from the special agent in
charge of the Seal Islands of Alaska, 1t is
thought that the number Of seals which
will be taken during the present season
will not equal that OF last year. when
about 1850 seal skins were secured The
agent reports a preponderance Of large
seals. the skins Of which. probably. will
exceed in weight those of previous years.
The Ice about the islands until June %
prevented the early arrival Of seals on
the rookeries. In the matter of the condi-
ton Of the native inhabitants it is stated
that since July /, 1900, there were thirty
deaths on St. Paul Island and seventeen
on st. George Island, and but one birth
during that period.

NEW YORK, May ll.-With both the
Stock Exchange and the Consolidated
Exchange closed today, and with prac-
tically nothing doing. the "curb' on
Wall street was very quiet. Although
the exchanges were not open for busi-
ness, all of the larger brokerage houses
had their clerks at work Strengthening
out the acts of spectators and putting
their books In order. Ia the rushing
days from Monday TO Friday none of
the usual making out of customers
statements was done, and it probably
will be late tomorrow night before the
balancing of accounts will be finished.
Many spectators went down town to
await the bank statement and to get
the London quotations for American se-
curities. AT 2 p. IN. London's prices
generally showed advances as compared
with the close at New York yesterday,
the extreme rise being l8 points in
Northern Pacific. The stocks generally
were up, but United States Steel COM
mon was g and the preferred % lower.
Illinois Central showed decline of / IL.
All interest i'll the financial world re-
mains absorbed i'll the great contest for
control of Northern Pacific and the RI
valries that have been caused by the
battle. Heavy buying in Union Pacific
yesterday provoked much comment, and
today the "streeG" was wondering
whether the fight of the railway giants
was to be transferred to that stock
again. The high price for Northern
Pacific i'll London today was taken by
many as indicating that buying for con-
troll of the property was still going on
wherever the seller had the stock to de-
liver it.
It was learned today that at the time
Kuhn, Loeb e Co. were settling with
shorts yesterday at $3.50 share they
were paying the same price over the
coulter to all who offered the securities
