 While nominally leaving the estate of Carpineto to his nephew, Ludovico Pecci. it really makes no change. as the whole family property amounting approximately to $120,000 has already been divided among the three nephews, Count Camille having already sold his share.
 The congregation today made further progress with the arrangements for the conclaVe. Cardinal Gibbons arrived to- day, but did not attend the meeting. A wall is being built around the apart ments where the conclave will be held. It is already ten feet high.

 At the sixth meeting of the congre- gation of cardinals held today, forty five cardinals were present. Cardinal Della Volpe, vcicing also the opinions of some of his colleagues, criticized the ceremonies in connection with the in terment of Leo XIII last night because some of the cardinals did not partici- pate in the entire procession and com plained generally of the lack of order
 Cardinal Oreglia replied that he had already noticed this and that he would punish those who were responsible.
 The ceremonial of the conclave es- tablished by Gregory KY is to be fol- lowed at the coming meeting. A local paper quotes the response of Cardinal Svampa to a question as to whether he believed the conclave would be of lengthy duration as follows:
 On the contrary. I think it will be very Short. I believe that two days will suffice to reach an agreement"

MISREAD THEORDFR
Two Trains Met on Chicago
 Great Western
Both Engineers and Two Others were Killed and Many Were Injured. The Order Was Unnecessary.

St. Paul. Minn., July 26.--Two trains met in a head-on collision on the Chi cagO and Great Western railroad early today and the result was four men dead and about twenty-five or thirty passen- gers injured. The dead:
 CHARLES MERKERT. engineer of passenger train, Minneapolis.
 H. GOGER, fireman. who was riding in the cab of the passenger engine but not on duty.
 H. HELMAN. engineer of the freight train.
 FRED HORTON. Dodge Center. Minn.. passenger.
 The two trains were the Twin City limited and a fast freight. The limited was running as a first section from Oelwein. Iowa, to Minneapolis. The sec ond section consisted of an excursion train running from Des Moines to Minneapolis and was three hours be- hind time.
 The fast freight southbound received orders at Dodge Center reading that the second section of the passenger train was three hours late. and the crew evidently misread the order and attempted to make Vlasaty siding. be- tween Dodge Center and Hastings, Minnesota, thinking that il was the limited that was late.
 Meanwhile the limited was pounding along at regular speed and met the freight head on, just after the limited had rounded the curve at Vlasaty. Tine morning was foggy and neither en- gineer saw the other in time to stop. although the engineer Of the limited had applied the air brakes.

In the History of Foreign Commerce of the Country
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
shown by the Department of Com merce to Have Reached Almost Two and Half Billions-A Com parison of Figures With Other Years.

Washington. July 26-The foreign commerce Of the United States in The fiscal year just ended is larger than iu any preceding year in it's history. Tho total or imports and exports as shaur by the department Of cOmmerce through its bureau of statistics is. for the wear 1903. S2.445.6lO,4l7. against $2. .3l0, sa.. tss III the year 1900. which was considered the banner year prior To lS03. Imports are larger than in any preceding year and exports are larger than ia any preceding year save in the exceptional year 1901. The imports for the first time. crossed the billion dollar line. the total being S1,025,619, 127. and the exports for the second time crossed the fsoo mill lion line. being sl.4l9. .S91. .2S0 or prac- tically 1,420 millions. The single year Tn which the value of exports exce-ds,f those of 1903 is the fiscal year 1901. when the total was Sl. 4S7. .7e4. .ssI. The imports exceeded those of 1898 by about l59 million dollars and the exports ex- ceeded those of 1908 by about 57s mil lion dollars. The imports. therefore. have increased lS-4 per cent during the decade and exports have increased e . per cent during the same period
 Comparing the figures of ISG3 with those at decennial periods at earlier dates, it may be said that the imports of 1853 were 263 millions. those for 1863, 243 millions; for 1873. S42 millions: for 1883, 723 millions: for 1888. Sss mil lions. and for 1908. I.O25 millions. The exports of 1858 were 2O3 millions. those for 1863. 204 millions; for lS93. 5se mil lions: for 1888. S23 millions. for lSs3. S4I millions. and those for Is03 were within a fraction of l.420 millions.
 The imports of 1903 therefore. are less than four times those Of lS5z. whil- the exports for 1903 are practically seven times those of 1858. The tabl- which follows. shows the total imports and total exports and the grand totaf of imports and exports at deeennlaI periods from 1853 10 1908. viz

yolved became intolerable to white and
black alike. Against the splendid history
of its open mind and ready cooperation
in bringing in the new day, the episodes
of cruel lynchings appear as an evidence
what popular prejudice in the white and
what vice and brutality in the blacks had
TO be overcome in order to the progress
already made. Not by a spirit Of suspi-
cion and sectional antagonism, not by
tanning into new flames the still smolder-
ing embers of the Civil War, not by In
sisting that we care for the negro and
the Southern white man does not shall
we solve or approach a solution of the
race problem Pharisaism never convert
ed single individual; it will not trans
form community nor elevate race. 1t
will be solved only as Northern and
Southern philanthropists and patriots
unite, in a spirit of mutual confidence and
good will in the one great purpose to
solve the race problem, by the only
method by which it can be solved-the
education and elevation of the feebler and
less developed race, by every practicable
method and to the largest possible de-
gree.
This IS not a lately born conviction.
At the end of the war the present editor
in-chief of The Outlook resigned his pas
torate to give himself in company with
other and able men in the North to the
work of aiding the South to rehabilitate
itself, and especially to initiate that sys-
tenn of public school instruction which
history has demonstrated to be the basis
of every successful system of selfgov-
eminent little later The Outlook, then
The Christian Union, urged the policy of
National aid to public education in the
Southern States, policy approved By
Presidents Grant, Hayes and Garfield,
but defeated partly by popular preju-
dice, partly by a causeless fear of GEN.
tralization. We believed then and we be-
wise and just. That issue has passed !;
we do not seek here to revive it. But
the principle of National responsibility
and National cooperation in the educa-
ton Of the negro we reaf1rm. We lay on
the North the duty OF cooperation with
the South in this work, not merely as an
act of charity to a feeble and imperfectly
developed race; not merely as an act of
generosity toward a still impoverished
section of a common county; not merely
as an act of missionary service called
for by Christian loyalty; not merely as
an act of patriotism seeking to serve the
highest ends in the Nation by the high
est means; but as an act of justice, in
curing an evil which the North has helped
to cause and in completing a work which
the North has insisted that it was its
duty to commence.
