In regard TO the action of the mar

recognition of the statement given 90

Up 10 the present time TO word has
been received from Rome relative 10 the
matter. and the action of the marquise

only.
Father DOugherty, secretary of Mgr.
O'COnnel, rector of the university, de-
MED today that the latter had sent a
dispatch asking for information as TO
the reported remuneration of the church
by Marquise de Monsters. The report
10 that eject he said. is an error, as
the rector has made no such inquiry OF
the Vatican, and viii make none. He
said further that it is unlikely the
board OF trustees Will seek information
on the subject from Rome. although any

University resumed its session at 10
o'clock this morning, and did not add
journ until 1890.
No Official Statement.
After adjournment OF the nothing ses-
sion the trustees Immediately went 10
luncheon. No official statement u the
proceedings was given out. but from
several of the prelates it was learned
tat 40 definite action of any character
was taken.
Bishop Spai5ing, of Peoria through
whom the MaTQuise de Monstlsrs made
her gift TO the university. was asked, on
his way 10 the dining hail. 10 make
statement IN regard 10 the meeting He
said the trustees had devoted their time
10 a discussion of the fnancie, affairs of
the institution. bun had not considered
the actiou CT the marcuise.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, said
that nothing OF definite nature had
been done at the meeting He said an
Official statement OF the proceedings of
the board would perhaps be Given out
this afternoon.
Hope Report Is False.
one of the high prelates Of The church
attending the meeting said that the de
Monsters affair had not come up for
consideration at the session. He said,
however. that all the trustees Of the
university are hoping that the reported
remuneration OF the church by The mar
quise has been exaggerated or is entire
j. false.
In connection with the discussion Of
the financial affairs OF the university, he
said. the Waggaman failure had only
been lightly touched upon. The trustees,
he said. consider the Waggama1 case in
the light Of an accomplished fact. and
IN their deliberations held il is sush.
The proceedings centered almost eN-
clusively around the financial affairs Of
the university, and definite action OF
some nature in this connection Is ex-
pCcted before final adjournment IS taken.
No intimation can be obtained Of what
this action may be. but II Is known the
trustees are planning 10 md means OF
overcoming the obstacles resulting from
the Waggaman failure.
II is said a schedule Of the resources
OF the university was submitted TO the
trustees al this mornings session. This
schedule includes the far-famed Wagga-
man library, which has an estimated
value OF over $4,000. and which was
turned over 10 the institution by the
former treasurer as security, In addi-
tlOn 10 many resources which have not
yet been enumerated. The extent Of the
latter. cannot be ascertained, bat a Is
known they are sufficient 10 maintain

BRADsT7EET,s REVIEW.

New York, August 5.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Business and industrial conditions are still irregular and render generalizations as to the future difficult. Continued good reports from the corn crop and brilliant conditions tend to offset undeniably dis appointing results in the premier cereal wheat Dispatches to Bradstreets indi- cate an appreeiable enlargement in the distribution of merchandise at western points, collections show a slight gain, and southern advices, buoyed by good crop advices, are optimistic. The iron trade, too, is showing improvement, and even bituminous coal Is looking up Other basic industries, however, are not So fa- vorably situated. Demand for boots and shoes Is less than a year ago, indicating considerable carried-over stocks, but leather is active and higher, owing partly to the effect of the meat strike upon the hide market. A few large strikes are re- sponsible for considerable idleness in diff ferent industries
 Gross railway earnings returns indicate a slight loss from July year ago.
 Altogether the outlook while cheerful enough in the main, needs definite assur- ances of good crops and of settled labor difficulties.
 The iron situation has improved to the extent that some very large orders for steel billets have been placed in the Pitts burg district. This has strengthened val ues in that market quite materially. Bir- mingham reiterates the old story of steady quotations at s950 or better for No. pig iron. Stocks of southern iron are reported running lower, and this con- dition may be said to be feature at all centers, now that production has been curtailed as heavily as 1t has.
 Business failures for the week number 179 against 174 last week. In Canada, fail- ures for the week number 25 against F last week.

WAS REMARKABLE TRIP.
The Rev. S. P. Werner of Tuscaloosa
 Arrives in St. Louis.


 St. Louis, August 5.-One of the most remarkable trips in connection with the exploitation of the worlds fair was completed when the Rev. S.. P Werner of Tuscaloosa, Ala, the Presbyterian missionary, who brought eight pigmies orc of the African jun gles, arrived in St. Louis.
 His journey included 26,000 miles, 800 miles of which was traversed on foot through the wilds and deserts of central Africa. The trip lasted eight months.
 MT. Werner w1s reported killed sev- eral times, and contracted a tropical fever, from the effects of which he has been ill in New Orleans for several weeks.
 Dr. w. J. McGee, chief of the anthro- pologlcal department of the worlds fair, who talked with MT. Werner im- mediately oner his arrival here, de- clared that the missionary's trip had been of inestimable value to science.

LABOR TROUBLES
 ARE BIG DRAWBACKS
Other Factors Tend Toward
 Business Improvement
CONFIDENCE IS RETURNING
Number of Prominent Consumers of Iron and Steel Have Abandoned Their Procrastinating Att-
 tude and Placed Orders.

New York, August 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Labor controversies are the most serious drawbacks to recovery in business Most other factors tend toward improvement. Despite some reduction in the yield of wheat, crop prospects are most encour- aging. Delayed orders for iron and steel products are being placed, and at woolen mills there Is a notable increase in activ- ity. Railway earnings in July were only 24 per cent smaller than year previous, and at many cities there is evidence of returning confidence with a little improve ment in mercantile collections. But sev- eraI strikes in progress and other things initiate against a resumption of normal conditions in trade and manufacture.
 Foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows a decrease of s1,047, 4SS in exports, and loss of $S,2S0115 in i'm ports, as compared with the same time last year.
 By far the most encouraging develop ment of the week in the manufacturing world was the abandonment of their pro- crastinating attitude by namber oi prominent consumers of iron and steel. July is usually the month of least ac- tivity in the industry, and it was gen erally believed in the trade that last month marked the natural limit of the period of depression. Events of the past week sug- gest that sanguine expectations will be fulfilled although the rate of recovery promises to be slow. Tanners are seeking hides in good condition on which the supply is short, as those taken since the strike began are badly cut, and offered at concessions. Leather has become stronger and the output of union sole Is reduced because hides are not available. Buyers of footwear are leaving the Bos- ton market without purchasing as heav- fly as they did last season. In the pri- mary market for cotton goods. the stua- ton is without change. Exports to China have been the best features.
 Failures this week in the United States are 230 against 22O last week. In Canada they number IS against IS last week.
