LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The recent effort to purchase the 1874
bonds OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company Is topic Of more or less discus
sion in circles which are apt to be inter-
ested in everything relating to the securi-
ties of corporations. 1t Is not known how
much has been secured, nor Indeed is the
object OF buying them at this time clearly
understood. Those who are buying are
acting simply as agents and have no knowl-

of these points, and while there h no gen.
eral agreement, some holding to one theory
and others incnning to another. there II a
belief which is entertained by usually we'll

these bonds is to add to the interest which
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
already has in this waterway.
It does not necessarily follow that the
Baltimore and Ohio has in view any plans
relative to the canal for the immediate fu-
ture, but 1t Is regarded as q wise movs
from the standpoint Of the railroad to have
ture ownership or disposition can In
measure be controlled. It is believed that
possibly the contest that IL now going on
to secure for the Wabash system q foot
hold on the Atlantic seabOard may have
an influence In leading to the recent change
In the ownership OF considerable blocks OF
these bonds. 1t Is understood that the Bal
timore and Ohio Company now owns more
than enough to make It majority holder.
The security most largely dealt In at to-

DEATH OF MGR. VoLPoNI.
He Had Recently Received an Appoint
ment by the Pope.

m6nt Dy the rope.
ROME. July 9.-Mgr volpini. who was
stricken with syncope yesterday, died early
this morning. shortly after the doctors in
attendance had announced that all hope of
saving his life had been abandoned. AL
though the condition of the pope is still the
center of interest the case of Mgr. Volpini
has attracted much attention. not only be-
cause of his Office of secretary of the con-
sistorial congregation, to which he had just
been appointed by Pope Leo. but also on
account of the manner in which he was
seized by his fatal illness, and it Is hardly
possible to describe the sensation and emo
ton which prevailed at the Vatican when
his death was announced.
From the moment he was stricken and
fell to the floor Mgr. Volpini lost entirely
the power of speech and the use of the en-
tire right side of his body. and was appar-
emily unconscious when he died. 1t has
been ascertained that the cause OF death
was cerebral congestion.
Great care has been taken to keep the
news of Mgr. Volpinis illness and death
from the pope.
1t will be impossible to keep the news of
the death of Mgr. Vopini from the pope. as
the office Of secretary of the consistoral
congregation, to which Pope Leo appointed
the deceased prelate July 5-the last ap-
pointment made by his holiness-must be
filled without delay in view of the posi-
bility of a papal interregnum, a s 1t is known
that at the moment pope dies the secre-
tary Of state ceases to exercise his func-
tons which pass to the hands of the sec
rotary of the consistorial congregation,
whose career is from that time assured. as
according to custom he is the first cardinal
to be appointed by the new pope.
The sarcastic humor of the Romans re
veals itself even at this solemn and sad
moment. The remark has been heard that
Pope Leo, not satisfied with having killed
all the cardinals created by his predecessor
except Cardinal Oreglia. and over one hun
dred of those created by himself. now be-
gins to kill those to be created by his sue
ceSsor.

AT THE PAPAL LEGATION.
A Feeling of Hope Entertained Regard
ing the Pope's Condition.

At the papal legation in this city today
there was feeling of hope in reference to
the condition of the pope.
For the first time since the recent illness
OF the holy father encouraging news OF hts
condition was received at the papal legation
to the Catholic Church here. This cable
gram was received today at 10 clock, sign
ed by Cardinal Rompolla. and Is as follows:
News Of today more consoling. We trust
in the efficacy OF persevering prayer"
This telegram was interpreted to mean
that Cardinal Rompolla considered the re-
covery OF the pope as possible. Every other
message that has been received by the
papal legate here has been worded In q
way as to indicate that there has been very
little hope of recovery. although the life OF

THE JEWISH PETITION.
Desire Of the President That It Be 500,
Prepared for Submission.

Secretary Hay was in further conference
today with some of the Jewish leaders and
communicated to them the Presidents de-
sire that they should call at Oyster Bay
next Tuesday to consult respecting the dis
position to be made of the Jewish petition.
The Secretary took occasion to emphasize
the Presidents desire that there should be
no further delay In the submission Of the
petition. so that 1t will be ready next week.
It Is probable that the course of action will
consist in the dispatch of cablegrams to
Mr.. Riddle, United States charge at st.
Petersburg. directing him to inquire OF the
Russian government whether 1t is willing

further proceedings will be governed by

On the part of the cardinals. 1t is also re-
garded as possible that one or more cardi-
nails may have expressed some concern
over the treatment, and that their views
may have been circulated in way to make
1t appear that the dissatisfaction is gen.
eral.
Confidence Is expressed here that entire
confidence is felt at the Vatican over the
treatment that has been given to the pope.

This costume was made OF white chif-

en- by the wearer The majority of
the box robe pattern gowns are too
skimpily conceived, and even the more
expensive of the models need to be
added to as far as the bodice is con-
cerned Fortunately many of the box
ed materials can be easily matched
and if they cannot, the tastes of the
hour are so liberal tnat any eHectlVe
contrast is admissible.
Among the box robes, the ribbon
trimmed nets lend themselves charm
ingly to evening uses. Some of them
also show an effective coarse lace pat
tern, in which case no ribbon trim
ming appears on the frock itself. With
such sorts, thin taffeta Innings and
sashes and bodice knots of wide Louis
inc ribbon matching the color of the
frock help to give a smart effect.
Unless patterned in some rare way,
few sash ribbons fall in straight
lengths, it being the tad to knot up
everything that can be knotted The
soft ribbons, which are very wide, are
crushed together and tied half way
down the sash length in dragon-hy
bows or knots. The tying at the ends
of the sash match the device used else
where, and a fragment of the same
ribbon. twisted in the same way, may
be w-.n in the hair.
In truth, the new summer girl is a
knotty problem in more ways than
one. Not only are her ribbons every
where tied, but the fronts of her bod
ice may meet with this device for clos
ing, and the chiffon to form skirt edges,
bodlces, berthas and entire sleeves, is
knotted, crumpled and manipulated in
unnumbered ways. A chiffon gown in
