THE NEW PONTIFF.

Pope Plus X rose at $3.50 o'clock yes
to-day morning, saying that he did moi
wish to change his habits. He slept
Tuesday night in the apartment occupied
by Cardinal Oreglia during the inter
regnum, which is situated on the fist
floor of the Vatican. No decision ha'
vet been taken concerning the Pontifi'i
ultimate quarters, but it is already said
that he desires them TO be extremely
modest.
At 7:15 o'clock the Pope said mass,
assisted only by Mgr. Bressan, his con-
clavist He afterward took breakfast,
which consisted of only coffee, milk and
a roll. Then, as he stood against the
window, from which he caught glimpse
of the gardens of the Vatican, the Pom
tiff exclaimed "My first pleasure
when | can spare a moment, will be to
explore the gardens which now confne
my little world. HeighOl How shall
| get on withoutmy long country tramps?
How | shall miss them and my sea-"
Pope Plus wished to see personally
most of the innumerable kilograms OF
congratulation received, giving instruc-
tons for the answers to those for which
he cared most, and looked at the copies,
changing here and there word. Then
he prepared the morning 5 state reception
of the cardinals in the Sistine Chapel,
which during the night he'd been cleared
ofits temporary furniture used for the
ballots and was assuming its normal
aspect.
The third and last obedience of the
Sacred College was contaminated yester-
day morning with the same ceremonial
as before in the Sistine Chapel, the Pope
being in his full pontifical robes and pal
pably restored in mind and nerves by a
nights rest. The cardinals filed before
him and kissed his hand and foot, all
smiling and apparently contented. They
themselves in turn received hearty en-
brace from Plus X. The ceremony end
ed about noon.
Both going to and coming from the
Sistine Chapel, when he passed through
the Raphael Loggia and Ducal Hall, the
Pope refused to be carried in the sedia
gestatoria, which, however, followed
him. After taking few steps he turn
ed to Mgr. Bisleti and said: 81 shall
never voluntarily get into that box !"

Crumpacker's Views.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 6. Con
gresham Crumpacker, of the Tenth dis
trict, who was here Wednesday, says
that his resolution providing that repre-
sentation shall be based on votes actually
cast, instead of on population, will go a
long ways toward adjusting the race
problem. 1t would give the southern
negro his dues, and, in his opinion,
would be agreat help in solving the prob
lem. Congressman Crumpacker thinks
the situation between the races is be-
coming serious but that the whites are
being hurt more than the negroes, as
the mobs are breeding spirit of violence
that undermines peaceable government.

MORE BALKAN TROUBLES.

The Macedonian committee announ-
ces that a revolution was proclaimed at
the vilayet Of Monastir last Sunday IN
conformance with the decision of the
central revolutionary forces in the dis
tricis of Monastir, Rezen, Ochrida, Debro,
Ketchero. Poretchka, KrOnchero, Per-
lene, Serin, Kaylari and Demirhissar VINO
simultaneously commenced hostilllies'
All telegraphic communication has been
cut in the districts mentioned. The an
nouncement has not been confirmed,
owing to lack of communication. "A
dispatch from SalOnica reports dynamite
outrages in the vicinity of Monastir and
the existence of great uneasiness which
had led the authorities to take extra
ordinary precautions. The dispatches
stated that several nihilists had arrived
at Salonica and that it was feared a Sc
rious outbreak had been planned for
September !, the Sultan's birthday, al
though it might occur sooner.
Adyices from Constantinople say that
the Porte has abandoned all idea of
Withdrawing troops from Macedonia and
is now making vigorous preparations to
draft troops for the disturbed districts.
4 circular note has been sent out warn
ing the powers of the intention of the

that the situation is very serious, and

MOSBY REUNION.

The reunion of the survivors of Mosby' s
command was held yesterday at Culpeper,
and it was more largely attended than
any held in the last several years, at least,
and many members of the command said
it was the most successful reunion the
command had ever held. -Four thousand
persons were at Culpeper from out Of
town, and everybody in town took part
in some way in celebration of the day.
Tie red,' white and blue hoated from
nearly every business placeand residence,
sometimes in the form of the national
emblem, sometimes as the stars and bars
fthe cause which was lost.
Dinner was served to the visitors in
the Armory by the ladies OF the town.
The speechmaking was in the afternoon,
Mayor Alden Bell making the address OF
welcome. His words assured the veterans
of the heartiness of the welcome which
Culpeper extended. He was followed by
Judge D. A. Grimsley, representing the
A. P. Hill Camp of Confederate Veterans
and himself gallant cavalryman of the
Confederacy. There was much humor
in Judge Grimsley's speech and he was
frequently applauded. Capt. William
Foster, Of Albermarle, made an eloquent
reply to the address Of welcome. Then
Can't. S. &. Ferguson, of Leesburg, told
the audience of how he captured
"Blazer," the celebrated federal partisan.
Judge Marshall ('Cyclone Jim'') was
then introduced, and he completely car
ried away the veterans. For 10 minutes
after the conclusion of the address the
old men in gray crowded about him,
shaking his hand and in many instances
embracing him as the tears ran down
their faces.
A song, "Tenting on the Old Camp
ground" was sung by a trio with fine
effect.
The business meeting of the command
Yesterday morning wa important. The
meeting was held in the school building.
Capt s. G. Ferguson, OF Leesburg, the
lieutenant-commander, presided, in the
absence of Commander Joseph Bryan, who
is in Europe. All the old officers were
reelected, as follows: Jos. Bryan, Rich
ard, commander; Hugh Mcllhany,
Staunton, second lieutenant-commander;
Stacy Bispham, Baltimore, third lieuten-
ant commander, and Henry Ashby, Del
plane, Va, adjutant. The question OF
the place of the next meeting caused
discussion. A letter written by Mr..
Bryan, from Europe, asking the command
to be his guests at his country home near
Richmond on the occasion Of the next
reunion, was read, and Capt W. Ben
Palmer, of Richmond, spoke earnestly
in favor of accepting the invitation.
Capt Ferguson invited the camp to meet
at Berryville, and was no less earnest
than Mr.. Palmer in urging acceptance of
the invitation.
The camp decided to make application
to enter the grand camp of the State Of
Virginia, and to be known as the John
S. Mosby Camp. The camp made lib
eral contribution to the Stuart monument
fund.
1t was decided that monument to
Mosby's men, living and dead, be erect
ed on a certain plot of ground already Sc
lected at old Salem, now called Marshall.
A number of members Of Mosby's
command from this city attended the re-
union and enjoyed most pleasant day.
They returned last night.

The New York Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 6.-Keen interest
was manifested in the stock market to-
day as the financial world was led to
believed last night that yesterday 5
decentralization would be continued on a
greater scale and that several new failures
would be announced. After the first
hour of trading had passed with no an
nouncements of suspensions, relief was
manifested in all quarters. Even in the
face of support and much short cover
ing stocks melted away under the heavy
offerings to new low records but there
was feeling that the situation was I'M
der control. The official announcement
that all sheets had passed the clearing
house all right helped to stay short sell
ing. A recovery of one to one and a
half points resulted when the announce
ment was made. The view was ex-
pressed that there would be no panic
aud that the market would be permitted
to adjust itself without violent throes.
New York, Aug. 6.-Laidlaw and
Carrie, members of the Consolidated
Stock Exchange, have announced their
SUSPENSION.

SEQUEL TO THE MILLER INCIDENT. -
A sequel to the Miller incident at the
government printing Office has demon
strated the influence of President Roose-
yelts letters about labor unions in that
bureau. 1t came up in connection with
the electrotypers, who, according to the
rules of their union, in certain cases
work fewer hours in day than are re-
quired of employees in the printing Office.
One of the electrotypers engaged in the
strengthening of plates insisted that when
his work in this connection was finished he
had nothing further TO do. lie was requested
to work the remainder of the day, but refused,
and soon the executive committee Of his or
ganization called upon Mr.. Ricketts,, foreman
Of printing, declaring that the rules of the
union must be complied with. In reply,
copies Of the two letters Of President Boose-
welt. written in the middle Of July regarding
the case of Assistant Foreman Miller, were
read. They were explicit that the laws Of the
United States and regulations about the en-
plOyment of peOple.in he department must be
obeyed before the regulations Of labor unions.
There was no opportunity for further argu-
ment, and Lhe interview ended. Since then
the electrotyper has been attending TO his
duties, as required by the government print.

once ceased and everything has been entirely
amicable on both sides.

France another hint that the tariff Is a
game two can play. While most OF the
continental nations maintain protective
tariffs. few of them carry the system so
far as the United States does, and some
Of them are showing marked evidences
Of WEAKNESS at admitting American
nroducts on easier terms than this coun-
trv admits theirs. France has just IN
timated that if the United States would
escape an advance just made In the
duties on sailed meats and some other OF
their exports they should offer some
concessions on French goods. The Sen
ate would not ratify the French recipro e
ity treaty, and Americans must not be
surprised or indignant if France shall

RECENTLY the Georgia Legislature de-
feated bill introduced for the proven
ton of child labor in the mills by the
inaiction of penalties upon employers;
but it made a step toward accomplishing
the object Of the bill by the passage OF
a vagrancy act which specified as crimi-
nal Migrants call able-bodied persons
living off the labor of their children. "
The enforcement of this law will do
much to abolish some of the bad features
of child labor 1t is well established
fact that drunken, worthless and cruel
parents are only too ready to keep their
children at work in the mills and mines,
and that the poor waits need to be pro-
tected from their natural protectors.

pomp. At the conclusion of the cere-

the Pope. The Pope then delivered a
lengthy address in the course of which
he showed an affability that delighted
his auditors. The Pope looks robust

to the delicate spirituality OF his imme-
diate predecessor, Pope Leo XIII.
