THE PoPE's PROTEST.
French Council of Ministers Assemble
to Consider It,

PARIS. May 19.-The council Of ministers
assembled in extraordinary session today
to consider the action to be taken relative
to the pope's protest against President Lou
bets visit to Rome.
AS the version Of the protest forwarded
to the governments having relations with
the Vatican differs from that forwarded to
the French government. 1t was decided to
first ascertain definitely what representa-
tons the Vatican made to the foreign gov
ernments. The council also agreed on the
steps to be taken when the exact character
OF the foreign protest Is ascertained.
An official communication to the press
says the ministers are in accord upon the
steps. but does not give the nature OF the
expected action. Later 1t became known
that the recall of NJ. Nisard. the ambassa.
dor of France to the Vatican. had been
decided upon II the authenticity OF the pro-
test forwarded to the foreign powers was
established. This practically assures this
ambassadors recaK as little or no doubt
exists relative to the protest. The effect
of the ambassadors recall will be to inter-
rupt diplomatic relations between France
and the Vatican.

of the Louisiana territory. In the center
of the tablet Is a figure of Progress, lead
ing the pioneer settlers toward the set

NEW YORK. May 19.-very light orders
appeared for execution in the opening stock
market today and the resulting price
changes were small both ways. A decline
of half in Western Union was the most
conspicuous change.
Selling orders predominated in the mar
ket. The weakness of several active spe-
cialtfes induced larger offerings of the ac-
tive railroad list. Realty preferred was
forced down ~ to SO, and Sugar and Della
ware and Hudson q point U. s. Steel pre-
ferred, Amalgamated and B. r. T. all yield

Union, Republic Steel preferred, Toleoo. ST.

Paul and Sault Ste. Marie preferred. One
sale of American Coal was at an advance
of 20 points over the preceding sale. The
general declining tendency was arrested
and the market became Hfeless: Bonds
were heavy at noon.
The market did not vary enough during
the midday hour to call for comment
A slight selling furry relieved the market
of its hamilton for a time, but after the
decline was checked speculation again be-
came stagnant. Union Pacific, Missouri

Proposed Partnership.
Continuing. Mr.. Barrett testified regard
ing propositions to form a law partnership
made to him by Mr.. helms. and went on
to speak of the cards he had sent out an
nouncing his resignation from the depart
ment and the fact that he would engage
in practice. About twenty-five OF thirty OF
the cards were sent to officials Of the Post
Office Departn ent, some went to newspaper
gentlemen, some to personal friends ana
some to attorneys who had appeared be-
fore the Post Office Department. The VIII
ness denied emphatically that any OF the
cards had been sent to bond investment
companies He added that it would have
been highly unprofessional for him to have
sent in cards to such companies
Again Mr.. Barrett made denial, using
the strongest language possible in impress
siye tones that there was any SUCCESSION
from either Gen. Tyner or himself that
they engage In conspiracy or WIRING
doing of any character.
Mr.. Harrison was on the stand lot a lev

Continuing his testimony, MI. Barrett
cited instances to show that as attorney
for bond investment concerns he took steps
to have his clients comply strictly with the
rulings and requirements Of the Post OI-
flee Department. Other points OF the case
were also reviewed at length.

A TEMPORARY ROADWAY.
Work Ordered by Commissioners for
Benefit Of Coal Dealers.

v. Baldwin Johnson and other wholesale
and retail coal dealers of this city will be
informed by the Commissioners that they
have ordered the construction Of tenn
porary granite block roadway, twenty feet
wide, on the east side of list street north
east between M and N streets. The local
coal dealers several weeks ago were grant
ed a hearing before the Commissioners
when the District authorities were urged
to pave 1st and N streets northeast, ADA
cent to square No. I'll, on which plot on
ground the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company is building six large trestles. from
which coal will be distributed throughout
the city.
At the hearing the coal dealers said from
80 to IS per cent of all the coal used in
Washington will be distributed to custom
ers from the Baltimore and Ohio coal yard
The only street adjacent to this coal yard
that Is in proper condition for hauling
heavy loads, it was stated, Is NJ street.
The coal dealers declared that proper out
let's from the coal yard should be provided
through list and N streets. In order TO
prevent congestion of traffic on M street.
1t Is believed by the Commissioners that
the proposed temporary granite block pave
ment on 1st street will afford adequate ac-
commodations to the coal tresties. The
Commissioners say the proposition with re-
gard to the proposed improvement Of N
street is still under consideration.

the President the name of William e.
Cochran, with the recommendation that he
be appointed the first purchasing agent Of

ent position. He is spoken of as a very
capable man. and one whose determination
to honestly administer the laws and regula-
tons Of the service has never been shaken
The new position to which he will be ap-
pointed on July 1 will make him the head
OF the purchasing force of the entire Post
Office Department, and will entail upon
him the responsibility for the expenditure
of almost million dollars year for sup
plies of all sorts. The pay is 81 600 a year.
which Is 81 900 more than that of his pres
ent position as chief inspector.
