The Correct Version.

Paris, July A.-The Mathis correspond
ent at Rome sends what he describes as
an authentic version of the pope's end,
received from the lips of M. De Navenne,
councillor of the French embassy, at the
vatican, who besides the Spanish am
bassador, was the only diplomat present
at the last moment. The only persons
at the bedside were the pope'n valet, Cen
tra his two nephews DR.. Lapponi and
the domestic prelate. Count Camille Pecci
was so overcome by emotion and the heat
that he was soon obliged to go out. At
o'clock the major domo opened the door,
saying, This is the end" All the car
dinals entered and knelt around the bed.
In the throne room the pope's battle
against suffocation could be heard.

Atlantic Highlands, N. j., July 2o.-Ten
miles an hour for thirty miles windward
and leeward was the rafting pace set by
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger in a
race with Shamrock 1 In the waters of
the international race course off Sandy
Hook lightship today. The challenger's
exact time for thirty miles was 2:5O:20,
very nearly record time for cup event.
and on par with the Reliance's splendid
performance off Newport in June, when
the American ystcht covered thirty miles
in less than three hours.
Shamrock Ills windward leg today was,
however, not a beat to windward. A shift

sible for her to fetch from the starting
line to win two miles Of the turn In quick
er time than If she had to beat all the
way. Her reach of fifteen miles In 1:09S
at an average pace of thirteen knots, is
near the record for cup race. Despite her
splendid performance, she beat Shamrock
/ by only one minute and twenty-five sec
onds, elapsed time, but the new boat had
lost at least two minutes by the parting
of her lib topsail sheet when she was
four miles from the finish line.
The race was sailed in a splendid wind,
rising from ten knots at the start to If
teen at the finish, and good part of
the time the yachts were dragging their
lee rails through the froth from under
their bows.
The yachts were preparing for another
brush when Sir Thomas received notice
from the Associated Press that the pope

City Of Bracketvllle Cannot Go TO the

Washington, July 20.-Several
months ago, in reviewing the court

today rendered an opinion, in which
he says:

IRON MARKET LOOKING UP,
Business Shows Improvement, Espeoi
ally In the West.

The following correspondence from Chi
cago to the New York Commercial is in
teresting:
Buyers and sellers of pig iron continue
In waiting mood. The latter do not feel
like forcing business at this time and
the former are inclined to believe that fur
mace men win soon grant concessions in
values for deferred delivery. 1t is known
that there is a large number OF important
orders now waiting in the market for bet
ter inducements. The undertone of the
western markets has been easy for a
week past and prices have been shaded
occasionally, though chiefly in small lots
which have constituted the bulk Of the
business.
1t Is reported that the smaller producers
of steel have not the large supplies Of
new orders on their books that they had
at this time last year. although they are
keeping busy enough to work their plants
to the full capacity. The increased pro-
ducing capacity Of the larger concerns has
enabled those companies to catch up with
their orders.
1t is reported that some OF the less i'm
portant concerns have been forced to ac-
cept lower prices than those fixed by the
larger mills in order to get a reasonable
share of the business now being placed.
The smaller bridge and construction COM
panies have shaded prices in numerous
instances, although the demand for struc-
tural material has improved somewhat.
Implement, carriage and wagon-makers
have been quite active buyers of bar iron
for next years requirements. some good
sized orders having been placed within
the last few days in Chicago
The inquiry for steel bars and steel
rails continues fair, and an Improvement
in the demand for the better is looked
for all along the line, since prices for next
year have been fixed.

Schneider.

From the New York Sun.
Reinhardt Schneider, who retired from
the police force on Tuesday after thirty
seven years of service, ought to remind
us that there is a great army Of policer
men of whom we hear little or nothing
because they are simply, honestly, brave
ly doing their duty. The CRATER, so often
loudly and passionately presented as
typical of the force, is not representative.
Schneider had worn a police uniform
nearly as long as any other man In the
department. His record was clean on the
books. He owns no brownstone fronts
or city lots. neither here nor in Japan"
He has lived on his salary and had had
no other income. There are platoons OF
men like him who will go on doing the
service they were appointed to do until
they die In harness or give up, as Schnei-
der has, when old age bears down upon
them.
The blue uniform of the policeman Is
the sign and symbol Of faithfulness in the
public service, and often OF daring to
the very death. May 1t be honored always
alike by the public and by those who
wear 1t.
