Arranging for the Contest
ants in Yacht Race

NEW LONDON, Conn, July 20
After a tempestuous night, which the
ombined fleets of the New York and
Eastern Yacht clubs rode without SER
Gus accident, yachtmen spent the day
n social calls among the feet and
Ups ashore.
The only accident reported on ac-
oount of the storm was that of the
scnoCner Columbia, which grounded
for an hour or two in the upper part
of the harbor She was pulled off
without damage.
The special feature of the day was
he meeting on board the Corsair OF
the Americas cup committee and the
regatta committee OF the New York
Yacht club. At this meeting IL was
decided to have the trial races for
the selection of the Americas cup
against Shamrock II. sailed off New
port during the week OF July 27. This
modification of the original plan,
which extended the races over a Pc
riod of nearly two weeks, was due
TO the request Of the managers of the
three bog boats. who wish to have
plenty of time in case of their selec-
ZION to prepare for the cup races.
On July 2S there will be a race TT
all classes of the New York Yacht
club fleet. On the 29th will come the
second trial race; on the 30th an
other regatta for the fleet, and on
Saturday, August 1st, the third and
last trial race. 1t is confidently ex-
pected by the members of the club
that the Reliance will prove sufficient
ly able to win all the trial races and
be selected to defend the cup.

A Healthier Feeling

LONDON. July 20.-The stock
London. Last week in the Stock
Exchange closed with healthier feel
ing in the American market and the
easier monetary condition has settled
effect all around. The weakness of
Americans had an unfavorable infiu-
ence on all speculative stocks and the
feeling is still exceedingly nervous,
principally owing to the unprecedent-
ed and inexplicable nature of the
slump. A hopeful aspect of the situa-
ton, however. is the fact that the low
pi Ices of Americans. particularly OF
the better class of these securities, at
tracted numerous investors. The 9TH

rumors of trouble in the far East
have had so far little effect on Rus
sian or Japanese securities.

shoot them. The piteous appeal
for mercy were cut short by a rain o
bullets in the faces and bodies. Wal
ters' face was nearly shot off. Cor
man fingered for a short time. and,
after making a request to see his girl
died.
After killing German and Walters
the mob quietly mounted their horses
and disappeared. 1t is said that a
deputy sheriff recognized the leader.
Germans crime was a particularly
irnuman one. He killed his brother,
Thomas, on Broken Back creek year
ago last April. He was intimate with
Mrs. Thomas German After the mur-
derer had hacked his brothers body
with hatchet. she attempted to burn

James toward Canada. but they were
captured at Cody. German has had
two trials and each time was sentenc-

justice would be defeated, took the
law in their own hands.
Walters was editor and proprietor
of the Lead democrat" at Lead. S.
D.. from 1891 to 1892, and was one of
the prominent men of South Dakota.
From Lead, Walters went to Dead
wood. where he was appointed United
States deputy marshal. This office
Walters lost through excessive dissi-
patton and some alleged crooked
work.
Coming home in an intoxicated con-
dition one night, Walters found an
other man talking to his wife. and
would have killed him but his condi-
tiOn rendered his aim ineffective. For
this attempted murder Walters served
a Jail sentence.
Walters steadily went to the bad
and Mrs. Walters finally secured d1-
vCrce. Walters met Mrs. Hoover at
TEermopolis and after three days ac-
quaintance murdered her because she
re fused to marry him.
Price, the dead officer was deputy
county clerk and one of the best
known men in Big Horn county. His
father and uncle are prominent cattle
meh, and every effort possible will be
made to punish the iynchers for the
murder.

ROME. July 21.-Since o'clock
Sunday night the Vatican has prac-
tically cut itself off from the world
IN general. The general belief pre-
walls that the Pope is dead, but there
is no official information to that eff
feet.
1t is the belief that is shared by the
Austrian and German embassies,
where 1t is understood that he expired
a: II o'clock Saturday night, but the
authority for the report is refused.
One of the nephews of the Pope was
seen at the Russian embassy after
midnight. He said he had received
no information of the death of His
Holiness the last that he had hearo
being that he would probably survive.
Last night te.ephonic communiea-
tion with the Vatican was discontinue
ed. II will be recalled that the news
OF the death of Pope Plus was with
held for twenty hours by the Vatican.

The latest bulletins state that the
Pontiff sinks slowly but struggles to
overcome the coma and rouses him
self when the sharp call of familiar
voice produces great effort. Most of
the night he has been delirious and
very weak.
Early yesterday morning his physi-
clans stated that Pope Leo could not
live but few hours, and that the
patient reanzes his condition and so
told them before he sank into insen-
sibility.
On awakening His Holiness called

These were his last words before
again sinking into the stupor. The
quietness within the Vatican presages
that the end is near and that the death
of the Pope is hourly expected.
Now that the supreme last moment
In the memorable reign of Pope Leo

contrast between the quiet within and
the excitement without the Vatican is
most striking. In the vast palace

Pope Leo XIII passed away at 4:4o p. M, Mon
