ALEX. SMITH THE WINNER.
Captures the Western Open Golf cham-
 pionship.

Milwaukee July IT.. Alexander Smith of Nassau captured the Western golf open championship by completing the 72 holes with a score of SIS strokes. He was closely pressed by David Brown Of Wollaston and Lawrence Auehterlon of Glenwood, who came home with a total of 320 strokes. Hart Turpie of Auburn park was but one point behind with 321 while Former Champion Willie Anderson of ApWamis finished fifth with 333. F. Mcleod of Rockford was one point behind Ander- son with 323. The concluding IS holes were played during heavy downpour of rain which in measure prevented the piling up of better scores at the finish. The links were literally food ed during the greater part of the af- ternoon Alexander Smith, the winner, played what is called constant golf throughout the tournament. Only once was he headed and that was by Gilbert Nichols of St. Louis, who was two points ahead at the end of the fifty fourth hole Nichols fell down badly in the final round.
 The sensational feature was the tie- ing of l.. T. Boyd's coruse record S4 by David Brown. Brown would have made it in B but for the fact that his ball was lost out of bounds in going to a tall tree. thereby losing a stroke.

London. July F.-The Rt. Hon. Charles Ritchie, chancellor of the ex- cheuuer. was the guest of honor at a dinner given at the mansion house to- night by the lord mayor, Sir Marcus Samuel to the bankers and merchants of London, and addressed the gathering briefly and in general terms on the pro- posed fiscal reform.

The chancel- Tor of the exehequer pointed out the in- creasing prosperity in trade and com merce of the country as shown by the statistics for the last. six months. and he insisted that consols were still the best and greatest of the worlds securi- ties compared with the premier securi- ties of other countries.

CONDITION OF THE POPE
LIQUID IN PLEURA REMAINS AT
 ABOUT SAME LEVEL.
Physicians Believe 1t Amounts Now to About 1900 Grams-organi.m Un doubtsdiy too Weak to Absorb it. Report That PontiR i. suffering from Cancer \ gain Denisd-A 4 Clumsy False hood.

Rome, July IS, 4:10 a. m. (Saturday). After having some sleep the pontiff appeared to be again restless and re- quired the frequent assistance of Dr. Lapponi and his valet Centra.
 The pope last night showed less aver sion to the nourishment offered him and took half cup of consomme. a piece of toast and a few sips of old wine. At 2:15 this morning the pope was reported to be in somewhat quieter sleep than he had last night although his brathing is perhaps not so easy.
 From last nights examination of the pope. it appears that the liquid in the pleura remains at about the same level, which is marked with dernographic pencil on the pontiff's side. The physi- clans think the liquid amounts to about 1900 grams. Considering the physical condition of the pope the doctors do not believe it possible that his body can ab- sorb it. as might a strong, young, well nourished organism.
 After the visit of the physicians the pope received Cardinal Rampolla, who remained in the sick room only a few. minutes. He again gave the pontiff a full report of the prayers offered in his behalf all over the world. His holiness, raising both hands, said: T bless all those who pray to God for me.
 The following bulletin was issued at 8 o'clock last night:
 ''The day has been passed calmly enough. The august patient had inter vals of rest and his general condition is little less depressed Pulsation SS; respiration, which is less superficial, S2;; temperature 36.6 centigrade. (SigneO

 The following bulletin was issued by the physicians at 9:S0 o'clock Friday morning:
 His holiness had during the night some hours of sleep, together with short periods of slight excitement. The level of fthe pleuric liquid is maintained with in the limits already noted without se- riously troubling the pontiff. The per- sonal condition of the august patient presents no noteworthy change. His pulsation is SS, respiration 30 and tenn, perature S6.5 centigrade.

CONSTITUTION THE WINNER
THE RELIANCE DEFEATED ON r TIME ALLOWANCE.
New Cup Yacht vanquished in the
 Initial Run of the New York Yacht Club from Glen Cove to Morris Cove
 New Yacht Travelled Witn n Rush at the CIsse- Elmina Leads the Fleet.

Morris Cove, July 1.-The latest as pirant for cup defending honors, the Reliance, was defeated to-day by the Constitution in the initial run of the New York Yacht club cruise from Glen Cove to this port. The new boat led almost from the start and was in her usual position at the finish. but the Belmont boat after being at one time more than a mile astern came up with rush at the close and was only fifty nine seconds behind her rival at the line. As the Reliance allows the Con- stitution two minutes and seventeen seconds in thirty-seven miles, the length of the run, the latter won by one minute and eighteen seconds. The time allowance, while unofficial, is be- lieved to be within two or three sec onds of the correct time.
 N The day with its light shifting breezes was long and at times tedious, but the close finish between the two nineties made the end interesting as we'll as exciting Starting in the light est of following winds the first ten miles was practically a drift, the yachts of the fleet being spread over the broad waters of the sound seeking .breezes. Half way along light south easter came ripping up and helped matters for an hour, carrying the yachts almost within sight of New Ha- ven. Then it gradually worked round and increasing in strength drove the fleet home like great flock of gulls, the three ninety footers looking like giant Swans as they swept over the line under all sail including bellying spinnakers.
 A good fleet of steam yachts was clustered about the committee boat as the yachts came over the line and paid them the usual honors. Tonight the harbor is crowded with yachts of all de- scriptions and glittering with colored lights.
 The start this morning from Glen Cove had to be considerably delayed owing to the lack of wind. and it was after half-past ten before all the rac- CTS were enabled to reach the line. The small boats were finally sent away at I10:45 and the other classes followed at five minute intervals. All the fleet, with the exception of the racing nine ties, were off at 1f:15, and fifteen min utes were allowed the cup yachts in which to maneuver. The starting sig nal was fired at 11:30 and at that time the wind was very light from the southwest. Knowing that the breeze was likely to die away and seeing a number of yachts becalmed farther down the sound all three captains were reluctant in getting over the hne,, with the result that etach boat was handi- capped The Reliance and Constitution held along above the line until they had nearly reached the fartehr end be- fore they turned and headed for 1t.

MERELY 4 SIMILARITY.
Originality of the Brown Commence

ARTIST WHISTLER DEAD.
CELEBRATED AMERICAN PASSES

End Rather Unexpected Although He Had Been Ill for some Time English Papers Publish Elaborate Notices Of His Life-His Genius Recognized as Having Greatly Dominated European Art.

Al '
 London, July 1s-James Abbott Me- Neil Whistler, the celebrated American artist, died yesterday afternoon at his residence, "A Chayne Walk, Chelsea, at the age of sixty-nine years. His death came unexpectedly. although for some time he had been seriously ill
 This mornings papers publish elabor- ate obituary notices recognizing the dis tinguished and unique personality of Whistler, whose genius greatly domi- mated European art of the present gem leration. While admitting that 1t is a question for posterity to decide his ex- act position as painter, it is generally conceded that he was a consummate etcher.
 The Daily Telegraph says. It may safely be prophesied that the light of his genius will but burn the brighter when his self-asserted individuality has been little forgotten, or at any rate, obscured.
 The Daily Chronicle says: It is nor tifying to think that there is no exam pie of his work in the public galleries of London. where he lived and worked so many years.
 Lowell, Mass, July 17.James Abbott McNeiI Whistler was born in Lowell. He was the son Of Major George w. Whistler. a distinguished United States army officer and civil engineer and one of the founders of Lowell
 The date. os his birth is uncertain, but it is understood that 1t was in 1885.
 Whistler was the child of his fathers second marriage, and the eldest of five sons. but one of whom survives him, he being Dr. William Gibbs McNeil Whistler. London physician. Since early childhood Whistler had not been in his native city and at vari- ous times when he was having honors bestowed upon him there had been con siderable dispute over his birthplace.
