replied.
Thereupon Mgr Bisleti lifted the
zucchetto from the popes head and re-
placed it with the one which has been
presented by Father Lynch. Mr. Nc
Crane handed to Plus x the offerings
which the pilgrims had hastily put
together after luncheon. The pope
spoke especially to the members of
the Lante family of Philadelphia, Rev.
John r. Burke, pastor of the Church
of St. Benedict the Moor, New York,
and Father Wall, who expressly rep
resented Archbishop Farley, and to
James Roger Matthews of Washing
ton. To Father Burke, he gave a
special
Benediction for Negroes.
Occasionally, as the pope passed
along, he laid his hand on the head
of one of the pilgrims. He spoke to
Eugene Kelly and Father McKenna of
New York, Rev. James E. Cleary OF
Reading, Pa, and to Mr.. White OF
Louisville, KY. Mr.. White was so
touched that he could not restrain his
emotion. When Plus reached the per-
sons who were carrying two flags
which they waved Tuesday at st.
Peters, he exclaimed in Italian,
Dear, dear, America, dear America!
Forty-four stars, eh!" When he
reached the last person in the line he
turned, and while all the pilgrims
knelt, he gave the apostolic blessing,
ending with the words: II recommend
myself to your pious prayers" It was
a moment of intense emotion and
scarcely an eye was dry.
Cardinal Gibbons, on leaving the
vatican, said that he had been de-
lighted to present the American pill
grims to the new pope under such
happy circumstances.
The pope, yielding to the pressure
exercised by the foreign cardinals, who
are DESTROYS of returning to their re-
spective countries as soon as possible,
has decided that his coronation shall
take place next Sunday.

SERIOUS RlOTING IN FRANCE.
Troopers Ride Down the Mob and Use
Their Swords.

Paris, Aug. 6.-The morning papers
report serious rioting in progress at
Torrent, on the coast of Brittany,
where labor troubles have been brew
ing for the past several days. Last
night the rioters assembled in the
palace Alsace Lorraine and attacked
the military club over the grand cafe.
They also stoned and broke shop win
dows. The military was called out,
but the rioters put out strong guards
and erected barbados. The cavalry
charged, the troopers losing their
tempers and riding down the mob,
striking men with the fiat of their
swords. 1t seems probable that the
rioting will continue throughout the
night. The crowds show no signs of
dispersal. At midnight they were
marching to attack the prefecture.

TWO-THIRDS OF THE ACTIVE LIST
TOUCH LOWEST sAbMT IN
PRESENT SLUMP.
TWO MORE FAILURES OCCUR
SEVERAL IMPORTANT FIRMS ARE
ALSO SAID TO BE IN RATHER
SERIOUS STRAITS.

New York, Aug. 6.-Fwo more stock
exchange failures, making a total of
six in the. past eleven business days,
were recorded Wednesday when Sharp
C Bryan and Hurlbutt, Hatch & Co.
announced their inability to meet
their obligations. Neither failure &C.
casioned the slightest surprise; in fact,
both had been discounted for week
or more.
The failure of Sharp & Bsyaa came
during the morning session, shortly
after the market had recovered from
it's demoralized opening. That of
in the afternoon, just as prices
throughout the list were tumpfing low
er than at any time before.
The days business can be summarize
ed by the statement that almost four
score Of stocks, fully two-thirds Of
the active list, touched the lowest
record reached duriAs ~ present
movement, which had it's mception last
September.
At the close of the day some of the
solid interests--and it % suggested
that these interests have been "out of
the market" for weeks past, save here
and there when support was most
ecessary-spoke reassuringE. They
declared that the financial atmosphere
was clarified, but for all that Wall
street as whole could sec NO silver
lining in the clouds, much less a
golden one. Other failures were con-
fidently predicted and the names of
several important aFIHS were mention
oil in f1ra Aioj OH ifc
A sharp break in sterling exchange
during the day was coupled with the
suggestion that at least enc interna-
tional banking house had been max
ing desperate efforts to borrow money
abroad. Officers of leading local
banks and trust companies declined to
discuss the situation, except to eX-
press confidence as to the sound con-
dition of financial institutions.
The Day Opened ominousIy.
The day began omineusly. Opening
prices on the exchange were decidedly
lower almost through the list. But
the break was checked by supporting
orders. In fact, veteran observers
were heard to declare that but for
this support a panic would certainly
have occurred.
The Sharp Il Bryan failure made
but little impression on values, but to-
ward noon the list receded, the de-
cline embracing virtually all the
standard stocks. The market then
became dull and hesitating, but in the
last hour and a half stocks were again
thrown over ruthlessly and the closing
was weak and extremely feverish.
The shrinkage alone aggregates
many millions of dollars. Countless
''stop loss" orders were caught in the
selling advance and it is probable that
hundreds Of weak accounts were
closed in utter disregard of the losses
sustained by their owners.
According to the statement of the
assignee, Sharp & Bryans liabilities
are about 100000, mostly secured.
Assets are said to include several
million dollars of stock exchange Sc
curities, the value of which is almost
altogether contingent on market con-
dittons.

EMMETS GRAVE OPENED.
Remains May Not Be Those of the
Irish Patriot.

Dublin, Aug. 6.-At the instigation
Of Dr.. Robert Emmett of New York, an
examination was made yesterday of
the grave supposed to be that, of the
patriot Emmett. A skeleton was
found, said to be that of a man six
feet high, whereas Emmett was only
five feet seven inches. A curious cir
cumstance in connection with the ex-
animation was that the skull, instead
of lying prone attached to the trunk,
was found lying in an upright posi-
ton, which, as Emmett was beheaded,
may strengthen the theory that. the
remains were his. But the matter is
still regarded as doubtful.

guish 1t from the Overland trail and the
Santa Fe trail, the one running from st.
Joseph and Atchison and the other from
Jefferson City and Independence, Mo. Along
the Mormon trail a great business sooU
sprung up. Mining discoveries in Colo,
RADIO, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana,
and the rush of gold seekers to those re-
gions made necessary the transportation of
immense quantities of supplies, and Omaha
was the Quitting point in a large degree
for all these freighters. just as st. Joseph
had been for those who had followed the
other trail to California in the earlier days.
This business was an extension of the
.steamboating traffic on the river. Goods
were brought up as far as the shipping
point-and Plattsmouth and Nebraska City
figured in this, too-and were then trans
ferred to wagons to be slowly dragged
across the plains to their destination at

wagon, making the total cost Of one OF
these outfits from 5000 0 to $2G, 900, exclu-
sive of the cargo. AS some Of the COM
panies had as many rs half a dozen trains
on the road, and there we're from eight to
ten companies regularly engaged in the
business, the aggregate amount Of capital
engaged in overland freiehting was not
small.
Occasionally, during times of Indian
tC ''es, the government took charge of
tn Jagon trails, and in some instances
the officer commanding the soldiers would
insist on trains being held until a sufi-
cient number could be $, cured to make the
men numerically strong enough, in addi-
tiCn to the detail of troops, to repel an at
tack. On these occasions the freight men
went armed, but generally they carried no

two wagons constituted a regulation train
and one man was required for each wagon.
In addition each train had a wagon master
and one or two extra men, so that the out
fit consisted generally of about twenty-five
men,, and the average wages paid on a trip
would be in the nelghborhood of 81, $50. The
wagons in general use at that time in the
service were "Conestogas,' a form of We
hicle which passed from existence leaving
nothing of it's type. They bore close re-
semblance to a boat set on wheels, hence
the name of "prairie schooner" At the
front the Conestoga wagon rose two feet
or more in the air, and the rear was a
duplication of the front. The sides we're
high and wide, and it was possible to stow
in their capacious bodies a ton or more of
general merchandise, while the loaded
wagon filled to its utmost with boxes and
bales would take on two and one-half to
three tons of merchandise. Hitched to
these wagons were from six to eight oxen,
costing at that time an average of $3.50
