Sarto n NInn of Deep Learning and
 Recognized Prudence.
 St.. Paul, Aug. 4.--Archbishop Ireland in speaking of the new pope said to- day: 3l1 ..-. t
 ''So far as known Cardinal Sarto, now elected pope, is man of deep learning and recognized prudence of action. He administered the important diocese of Venice in manner to draw to him uni versal praise. While archbishop and cardinal he seldom visited Rome. He enters into the pontificate free from all entangling alliances, free in every way to carve out for himself his own career.
 "The election of Cardinal Sartois not surprise. It was evident from the be- ginning that if one outside of Rome was to be chosen that one would be Cardinal Sarto, and not uncommon course of conclaves is to take as it's candidate one outside the Eternal City, so that his future administration may be, from the beginning, one entirely and manifestly inspired by his own wisdom and knowl- edge of affairs. This is exactly what happened when Leo XIII. was chosen" i"

moKrnrsy memor.al Llgb.nouse.

t Honolulu, Aug. (by Pacific cable).- The proposal to establish public park in or near the city as a memorial to the late President Mckinley will probably be abandoned. Instead of this tribute to the chief executive, during whose ad- ninistration the people of Hawaii be- came citizens of the United States, it is now planned to erect Mckinley mem Orial lighthouse at the entrance of Hon olulu harbor. This would be proni- nent situation from both land and sea, besides being of great practical utility. This project meets with much favor, and is likely to be carried Into effect.

 Plus X was only twenty-three when he was consecrated priest at Castel- franco, the birthplace of the great mas- ter, Giorgione, acting afterwards for nine years as coadjutor to the parish priest of Tombolo, province of Padua, a village of 2,95O people, who were the first to appreciate his virtues. His kindness was untiring. He gave freely Of his small means until he often went with out his meals himself, but he kept many poor family from starvation.
 In 1867 he was appointed parish priest of Salxano. which was considered an important promotion, being a village of 3,341 souls. The peasants, when he left, made a most enthusiastic demonstra- tion. He distinguished himself so much at Salsano that he was only kept there two years, which is remarkable in the career of an Italian parish priest. In 1875 he was elected chancellor of the bishopric of Treviso, then spiritual di- rector of that seminary, judge of the ec- clesiastieal tribunal and finally vicar general.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
One of the British Players Defaults, the other Wins.

One of the British Players Defaults, the other Wins.
 Boston, Aug. 4.--A default by one of the British players and decisive de- feat for one of the American contest ants made the first days play for the international lawn tennis challenge cup at the Longwood Cricket club to-day not only dull, but disappointing. The result, however, leaves each team with a point apiece in the total of five, so that the next three contests cannot fail to be interesting. It was 8 great dis appointment to the 5000 lovers of the game when just as the play was about to commence it was announced that R. F. Doherty had given up his match with W. A. Larned because of strained shoulder, and it took considerable pa tience to sit even for fifty minutes in a drizzling rain while the other brother, H. l.. Doherty, defeated one of the most popular of the American players, R. D. Wrenn, in straight sets, 60, 6-3, GA.
 The British team had the option of playing its spare man, H. s. Mahony, in the place of R. F. Doherty, but this would have necessitated his playing also in the second series of singles on Thursday, by which time it is expected that the elder Doherty will be in shape again. Mahony, however, will take R. F. Doherty's place in the doubles to- morrow, playing with H. L. Doherty, and close contest is anticipated with the Wrenn brothers.
 nf 4br +ot, +o in view of each team scoring one point to-day, will not decide the fate of the cup, so that the two contests in singles on Thursday will undoubtedly prove the chief attraction of the week. :.

WESTERN AMAqEUR GOLFERS.
First Day of fchampionship P 0peus With
 Poor Weather.

5 $ fs ; S 4 s
 Cleveland, O., Aug. 1.-The first day of the Western Amateur Golf champion ship opened with anything but good weather for golf. A cold steady wind blowing off Lake Erie added to a steady drizzle of rain made golfing difficult and to say the least uncomfortable. Twenty two pairs contested the rest of the six ty-four drawing byes. On Wednesday thirty-two pairs will contest.
 The day was not filled with anything exciting, the fayorites all winning. Louis James, the United States cham pion, had drawn a bye and rested H. Chadlr Egan, he present Western champion. put up one of the best con- tests of the day. defeating H. Deming of Cleveland, 5 up and to go. Egan made some pretty drives and was unusually steady on the green. He had Demfng 2 down on the down and kept his advant- age all the way through. finishing strong. He dropped tine thirteenth hole, but Won the fourteenth easily, giving him five up. Walter Egan, his cousin, also put up strong game, beating H. w. Fraser, one of Toledo's best golfers, up and to go. B. Byers of Allegha- ny runner-up to James Lasticar is put ting up remarkably steady game and won his contest with ease.
 ! To-day's plan resulted in a thinning out and all is now ready for the first real day of play. Louis James drew R A. Mead, who is expected to give him little trouble. H. Chandler Egan also has an easy contest, while Walter Egan will have stiff game in beating the Iowa state champion, w. Dickinson of Des Moines. The wise ones are picking the Egans or James, but many think E. Byers. on his present form, will be right up at the finish.

Deskin for clearing up the Charles Ross mat ter.
 Policeman Horan turned over $2O to the board which he had received from the government for the capture of two deserters from the army. It was turn ed over to the police pension fund, as is the rule, minus the policeman's actual expenses in returning the men.
 The chief was given power to grant time to any of the men he thought proper for vacation purposes. The rule is that the chief only has the power to grant five days for this purpose, but under the vote of the commissioners last evening he can give the men as much time as he thinks best. Patrolman Terrence Clancy asked for four and a half days pay which he lost on account of injuries which he received while in the discharge of his duties.

 explanation of the purpose of the Civic Federation, of which he is chairman,
 delivered before the members of the Cleveland Builders Exchange, said in
 part:
 Since the organization of the Civic Federation the working people have been prosperous as never before and so has the employer. The wage earners,
 however, thought to themselves: Are we getting our share of this prosper ity?' must admit that in many cases they were not. We aim to remedy that condition. When there is a difference of opinion between labor and capital we try to bring them together The federation does not act as a board of arbitration. We only want to make it possible to get the employer and the employed together to adjust their trou- bles. A failure on the part of the fed eration to bring them together has been NCAy #ldlC NllluCCusf5t w v lAclHG UCGtl ill- strumental in settling nearly one hum dred strikes in two years The only failure of any importance was in the

 Referring to the statements that had
 been made that his connection with the
 Civic Federation was for political pur-
 poses, Senator Hanna said: ~s Some men say that my connection
 with this organization is for political
 purposes, but can't help their saying
 it. I know what am doing it for. Ev-

The conditionswere the old boats best chance, and Captain Bepis fretted for fifteen minutes while his craft was blanketed by the feeter,foot- ed challenger. Then he swhirled Sham rock I. about on the other tack. Cap tain Wringe followed and again biarl- keted Bevis' craft. Shamrock I. prompt ly tackled again and just as promptly the challenger whirled about Seven tacks they made in three minutes, each time Shamrock III. holding thesold boat under her lee At the seventh Captain Bevis got headway on his boat while the challenger was filling away, and Shamrock I. slipped through the chal- lenger's lee and got her wind clear, but she hadnot the heels to hold it. Sham rock III. was still to windward and soon overhauled her. pacemaker so that the latter had to tack again. Captain Wringe did not follow, but gave his att tention to getting to the turning mark.

New Methods of Management
 New York, Aug. 1.-The resignation of Charles M. Schwab as president of the United States Steel corporation was rendered and accepted at a meeting of the directors to-day. William E. Corey was unanimously elected his successor.
 MT. Sehwab's resignation caused no surprise in financial circles where it had for some time been foreshadowed. The new president was for many years one oe Andrew Carnegie's' ablest lieu tenants and now president of the Car negie Steel company. one of the sub sidiary concerns of the United States Steel corporation. It is scarcely more than a month ago that MT. Corey was made assistant to the president (Afr. Schwab) because of the latter's contin- ued i'll health.
 MT. Schwab attended to-day's meeting of the directors, coming to town, it was said, for that especial purpose. He ap- peared to be in good health and spirits and seemed rather glad to be relieved O. the duties imposed on the chief ex- ecut-ve of the billion dollarp corpora ton. Before and after to-day's meeting Mr. Sciwab conferred with J. P. Nor gan. MT. .Schwab will continue as di- rector os the steel corporation and a member of the finance committee.
 Formal announcement of Mir Schwab's resignation was made in appended form:
 At the regular meeting of the direc- tors of the United States Steel corpora tion to-day, MT. SehWab in consequence of continued i'll health, rendered his res- ignation as president and 1t was accept ed. ". E. Corey. who has been for some time performing the active duties of the president, was elected to the va cancy The office of chairman of the board os directors was created and E.. H. Gary was elected to that position, and will continue to devote his entire time to the business of the corporation. An advisory committed, to consist of three directors, besides the president, to consider and make recommendation concerning questions of mainufacturing, transportatiosi and operation, was created. and Messrs. E. c. Converse, William Edenborn and D. M. Reid, were elected as members of the board of dt- rectors and of the finance committee.
 The foregoing statement given out by Chairman Gary was supplemented by the following from H. c. Prick:
 Several months ago Mr. Schwab told me that he would very much like 10 be relieved from the presidency of the steel corporation on account of his continued i'll health, and asked me to assist in so arranging. The matter was arranged entirely upon his request. MT. Corey, wko succeeds him, has been educated upon the same lines as Mir. Schwab and has been his associate for twenty years. I am sure his election will give general satisfaction to all concerned"
