lates being seen crowding about the
door.
1t is impossible to describe the con-
fusion III the chapel. The friends and
supporters OF Cardinal Sarto gathered
around him., complimenting and con-
graduating him, and even clapping
their hands without ceremony. They
appeared to be unable to contain their
joy. These few moments of oblivion
gave Sartos opponents time to recover
their balance and conceal their chagrin.
although the majority even among
them declared themselves to be salts
fed with the result and only a few
sour faces We're seen.
Among conclavists and prelates the
expression was freer and two or so lost
control of their tempers that they had
to be separated by the scandalzed on
lockers. There was great irritation on
one side and correspondingly great ex-
ultation on the other. @
"Sarto, Sarto,' ran from mouth to
mouth, penetrating to the further
most corner Of the Vatican. All hur-
ried towards the Sistine chapel to see
the newly elected Pope emerge and pay
lIlell lioIicSC " llle new SUN dllu lidNc
the honor to be among the first to kiss
his hand. After the election, when the
excitement began to calm down, none
seemed quite to know what to do, it
being to all, except Cardinal Oreglia,
a new ceremonial. Even he had only
seen it rs years ago. Cardinal Oreglia,
as dean Of the cardinal bishops, called
Cardinals Nette and Macchi, the deans
respectively of the cardinal priests
and cardinal deacons. They APP
preached Cardinal Sarto, saying in
Latin distinctly:
DO you accept your election accord
ing to the canonical law as supreme
Pontiff?" t-...s
The moment was one of extreme
tension of feeling, there was a percept-
IDLE pause before Sarto controlled his
voice. Then he answered simply:
Yes"
The cardinals thereupon removed
their baldacchinos. that of Sarto was
the only remaining, thus marking him
as their supreme head. The passing
supremacy of the cardinals was. gone
and was now concentrated in one
person.

WASHINGTON STATUE OPPOSED.
Canadians Object to the Proposed Mon.
ument in London.

Toronto, Ont. August Am agita-
ton started by the national societies of
the city is developing to influence the
British government to prevent the
erection of a statue to General George
Washington in ST. Pauls Cathedral in
London. The United Empire Loyal
lists, whose forefatherS left the states
and settled in Canada at the time of
the war of independence, are most
active in the movement, and an effort
will be made to have the Canadian
government urge the home authorities
not to permit the statue to be placed
in st. Paul's.
A meeting was held here this after
noon called by the Imperial Order
Daughters of the Empire, at which a
resolution was passed calling the at
tention of the British authorities to the
rumor that the statue is to be erected,
and protesting against this as being
extremely hurtful to the feelings of
Canadians, especially to the descend
ants of the United Empire Loyalists,
who endured terrible hardships for the
upholding of England's flag and their
loyalty to the king"
This resolution was Endorsed also by
representatives who were present of
the United Empire Loyalists, Historical
Society, York Pioneers, Navy League,
British Empire, st. Georges Society
and Army and Navy Veterans.

INTEREST REDUCED.
Various Change in the Treasury Since
April 1, Last.

Washington, August 4.-The refund
ing of and 4 per cent bonds into per
cents closed at the Treasury DEPART
ment this afternoon. In round num-
bers the Treasury Department has re-
funded about $80900,O0O and 4 per
cent securities of the government and
issued in their place the same amount
of per cents reducing the interest OBJ
legations of the government according
ly. Although the official figures have
not been made up, and will not be
available until late this afternoon. the
amount of per cents that have been
exchanged into IS has been about s16,-
ll5o00 and per cents exchanged
$64,S23,350.
From a treasury standpoint the re-
funding operations, which began
April ], have been successful. From a
financial point of view the operations
have been beneficial, affording national
banks good opportunity for increase of
circulation, of which they have availed
themselves in no uncertain manner.
There are over sS0,O00,O0O more per
cents outstanding now than April ],
and as these are the cheapest and most
desirable of all bonds as the basis for
circulation of national banks. the banks
have accordingly been benefited. and
trade conditions also.
The total outstanding interest bear
ing debt of the government is now
about ,410, of which the per
cents will aggregate, with refunding
closed, about $525.O0O, 900. The per
cent loan is reduced to about s81. 0Oo.-
900, and the As of 1S77-1s79 to about
$16S. 900.
The national banks of the country
now have in the neighborhood of
$SS0,O0O,0OO bonds with the treasurer of
the United States as security for circu-
lation. April l, when the refunding
operations began, the total amount of
bonds held by the treasurer in trust
for circulation was $342154, 270, an in
crease in round numbers Of nearly
$3S,000,0 900.
This means that this amount of adj
ditional circulation has been taken out
by the banks in four months. largely as
a result of refunding. Naturally. Sec
rotary Shaw is pleased with this show
ing. OF the $3.50, O00, 900 bonds pledged
by the banks to secure their circulation
all but about $4,000, 900, is in 2 per cent
bonds, showing the desirability of this
class of bonds for circulation so far as
the banks are concerned.

THE CALIFORNIA PRUNE CROP.
This Years Only About Two thirds Of
F. Last Years.

Los Angeles, Aug. 4.-The California
prune crop this year will be about two
thirds of that of 1902, or 133,000,0 DOC
pounds. The crop is very even, as far
as size is concerned, not showing the
same irregularity in this respect as in
the previous season. The crop last
year in Santa Clara County, the banner
prune district in the State, was $780,
10000 pounds, that of the State being
200, 100000 pounds. The San Joaquin
crop will not be one-half of last years,
while that in the north will exceed
two-thirds, and in many districts the
output will be up to that of the pre-
vious season. In Colusa the crop is
from one-half to two-thirds of the
last crop. Besides the regular crop
this year, there are 25,000,000 pounds
carried over from last year. Last sea-
son at this time there was hardly a
prune left in the State, the crop of
1901 being at that time shipped to the
European market.
Oregon last year had a shipment of
300 carloads of prunes, while this year
she will send out 1000 cars. So far the
demand is very light on prunes, not
withstanding that everything points to
a brisk demand later on. European
buyers, as a rule, do their purchasing
in July, but so far this year no great
quantities have been sold.s.sT There is at
present quite a stock of prunes in
Europe, and the supposition is that
these will be used before. the dealers
make any further heavy purchases.
Within. the last few years it has been
shown that after October the prune
shipments fall off, because the trade
wants the stock for holiday purposes.
If the commercial packers are not pre-
pared to supply the demand, there will
be the chance of carry over for
another season. In the Eastern
markets there is no great demand in
prunes. There is a tendency to pass
them by and wait until there is an
absolute need for them before purchase.
ing. In this State, in some of the
northern sections, as well as in the
San Joaquin, quite quantity of dried
prunes has changed hands from the
grower to the packer.
The California canneries are busy
on apricots at present They have
twelve hundred persons employed, and
expect to increase their working force
to fifteen hundred in another week.
The fruits this season is both large and
of a fine quality. Although it is yet
rather early in the season to make any
accurate estimate of the citrus fruit
crop, a prominent grower says that
10000 carloads is a conservative esti-
mate. This is about six thousand car
loads more than the crop just closed.
The 10000 season begins about
October and continues until early the
following summer.
The experiment by the Santa Fe
system last year of shipping lemons to
Chicago and New York in the winter
and curing them has proved a success.
Many of the lemons now used in the
Eastern markets are taken direct from
these refrigerating houses. The plan
enables the railroads to bring the
lemons East at a time when the roads
are not so rushed with traffic, and it
also permits the dealer to get the fruit
quickly and in the best of condition as
the market calls for it.

VENICE ASTOUNDED.
Had No Idea That Sarto Stood Chance
of Being Pope.

Venice, Aug. 4.-The election of Car
diral Sarto as Pope produced, here, an
impression more of stupor than any
thing else, because his candidacy III
which he never put much faith, seemed
almost hopeless, and also, because 1t
was thought here that, although a man
OF great piety, he was lacking in one OF
the eminent qualities of Pope, pelng
ignorant of diplomacy. For instance
the fact that he speaks nothing put

back as every Pontiff is obliged TO re-
