Pope Presides at Consis tory.

Rome, June 25.-The public consis-
tory, following on the secret meeting
held last week, took place this morning.
The affair called for particular attention
as it is believed in many circles that it
the last one Pope Leo will attend. All
the papal notables were present. The
Pope seemed wan and emaciated az,
dressed in his full vestments, he was
carried in the gestatoria through the
kneelng thousands on whom he be-
slowed his blessing. The historic feather
fans waved above the Pontif's head,
while the picturesque Papal Guard and
the resplendent Vatican court surround
ed the papal chair. The religious cere-
mony was shortened as the prelate was
visibly fatigued by the effort required
in attending the ceremony. At the end
of the religious part, the Pope placed
the red cap on the new cardinals and
blessed them. He then announced four
teen appointments, including those in
America which have already been an
nounced, and which have been made since
the consistory two years ago. His
holiness was then carried back to his
apartment amid cries by the multitude
of Viva Papa, Viva Leo"

THE VIRGINIA republican State and
executive committees met in Richmond
last night and went bowshot beyond
the other State committees by passing
resolutions indorsing President Roose-
welt for reelection in 1904 and again IN
1908. and naming a committee to notify
the President of the action. There was
large attendance of members and only
five negroes were present. These five
had but little show, and all occupied
back seats. The oficeholders had full
sway and the programme arranged a
little while before in the executive COM
m;ttee went through with a whoop. The
action of the committee leads many to
believe that the Organization" is a
little apprehensive as to their standing
with the President, so they determined,
if possible, to make themselves SOLID
with the administration by out Heroding
Herod and endorsing Mr.. Roosevelt

The Situation in Richmond.

Especial Dispatch to the Alexandria Gazette
Richmond, June 25.-Not car has
moved in Richmond this morning fol-
lowing a night of disorder up to the time
that the cars we're withdrawn. No ef-
fort was made to operate cars on any OF
the lines today. There is an air of sup
pressed excitement on the street and as
soon as an attempt 10 operate cars
shall be made, more trouble is feared.
Richmond, June 25.-Absolute quiet
prevails in Richmond today and business
is paralyzed. This is due in part to con-
ditions incident to the strike and mostly
to the excitement of the people who have
forgotten everything except the horrors
of ast,night. Theinsurectionary spiritex-
hibited has awed the people, and the fact
that no cars were running and the peo-
pie did not understand the reason why,
increased the fear of further mob rule
The cars we're not running because the
wires were cut in many places last night
and hours were required to make
the connections. AS no cars were run
ming there has been no trouble today.
Many more people were hurt last night
than was known at first when Daniel
Parter, sergeant of Stanton Rifles, was
wounded on the head by a brick from
which he is still in the hospital. Two
other soldiers were hurt. The entire
Seventy-first Regiment is now here and
over 4 thousand men are on duty.
Seven persons arrested by the soldiers
yesterday were fined $40 in the police
court and put under bonds. The three
guards who did the shooting last night
were turned over to the county authori-
ties They we're put in Jail to await
trial, and bond was refused. Martial
law will likely be declared tonight, as
the military have determined to run the
cars until midnight.
All saloons will be ordered closed at
dark.

The New York Strike.

New York, June 25.-The fight be-
tween the Building Trades employees and
their workmen is growing more bitter.
Today the workmen retaliated by calling
out, through their walking delegates,
every union man who has been at work
for members of the Building Trades En-
ployers Association, thus inaugurating Is
general strike. This action was taken
because the employers insisted that their
plan of arbitration, involving the sup
preston of the walking delegates, must
be accepted. Certain employers had not
taken part in the lock out which has
been on for several weeks. All of their
men struck today.

DR.. GEORGE ENGELMAN, of Boston,
in the June Popular Science Monthly,
shows that the birthrate in Massachu-
sets of native-born is II to 1000, as
against So to 1000 among the foreign
born. This seems to prove that the
Nautilus theory that population increases
faster than subsistence is not verified
among our native-born. DIR. Engelman

of children in the American family has
decreased from 6. in 1900 to 1.Sin 1900
