CLOSE observers OF the trend Of affairs
in the administration are beginning TO
wonder how soon after his return from
Europe Postmaster General Hitchcock
will tender his resignation. Up to 4
few months ago the president turned
over to Mr.. Hitchcock many of the ad-
ministration problems. A change be-
gan to be noticed shortly after c. D..
Norton became private secretary TO the
president. 1t is regarded as significant
that Mr.. Hitchcock should depart for
Europe at time when the republican
campaign is being shaped up, and his
departure without seeing the president
is deemed to be worthy of more than
passing notice.

To Boycott Alfonso.

Paris, July 25.-An international
boycott against King All onso. OF Spain,
with demonstrations against him in
every foreign city he may visit, will be
urged tomorrow by those Spanish revo-
lutionists who lave been exiled from
their own country and arc now living
in Paris. Tomorrow is the anniver-
sary Of the beginning OF the fatal riots
in Barcelona, in which more than $50
lives were lost, and following which, it
is said, 800 persons were shot by decree
OF court-marshal. To celebrate the
anniversary Of the uprising the revolu-
tionists are preparing proclamation
which they will circulate all over the
continent. In part it reads:
1T is necessary to force the criminal
king TO remain in his own country,
which he manages so badly. Country
loving citizens there will make his fur
ther rule impossible, and their COM
rades throughout Europe should not
allow Alfonso to dishonor the respec-
tive capitals with his presence.

FURRY on the New York Exchange.

New York, July 25.-Big financicrs,
who in the past have been allied with
the bull element in the market,
switched today with the result that
there was decentralization on the ex-
change. For few minutes after the
opening, prices moved toward slowly,
but general liquidation became evident
before the end of the first hour. A
general selling of the leading stocks,
with the exception Of Amalgamatcd.
followed, prices of nearly all OF the
important issues crumbling to now low
records for the year. One disquietlng
feature was the sharp advance OF corn
options in Chicago. 1t was argued
that this followed renewed information
that the crops were in danger and that
railroad earnings from crop moving
would show heavy falling off. 1t was
said that much of the selling in Read
ing and Steel common came from
broker usually allied with the Rookie
Teller interests.

DEFENDS CHURCH,S POLICY.

Cardinal Agiardi, in Rome, replying
to question as to whether the church
had accommodated the wife Of Prime,
Oscar Of Prussia because she married
a Protestant, said: No special ex
communication is required, as mar
rages contracted in conflict with the
laws OF the church are punished by
such q penalty de jure. "
Questioned whether he feared trouble
against the church are punished by
such a penalty de iure. " Questioned
whether he feared trouble against the
church in Germany, he said
The church is now passing through
a period Of persecution. 1t is engaged
in a most grave battle all over
Europe.
Referring to Spain, he said rupture
between the church and state seemed
to be almost impossible. Religious
feeling is very strong among the Car
lists, and doubtless they would rise to
protect the church. thus creating
serious embarrassment. The interviewer
remarked that the responsibility for
the present state Of affairs was
thrown on Leo XIII. The cardinal
said:
The statement is unfair and ground
less. Politics is like war. Nobody would
dream OF calling a recent defeat the
consequence OF a preceding victory.
Leo was a great pontiff, and had led
the Holy See with great splendor. y
The interviewer suggested that the
church would be exposed to great loss
if it continues its present policy, The
cardinal said That is an error, The
policy of the church is most wise, but
circumstances cause events. Perhaps it
is Gods will that the church shows how
it can overcome these apparently insur-
mountable difficulties"
Lisbon, July 25.-Ths GOODNESS OF the
relations between Portugal and the Vati-
can are much commented upon. Re-
Gently Cardinal Merry del Val wrote to
the Archbishop OF Braga, ordering the
suppression OF Portuguese Franciscan
paper, which was done. The govern
ment regarded this as an infringement
of its prerogatives, and the crown pub
lished a royal decree censuring the
Vatican. The archbishop is now
organizing a clerical campaign to pre-
test against the decree The Pope
having refused to accept two eminent
politicians proposed as Portuguese
minister to the Vatican, the embassy is
now vacant and the cabinet has decided
to leave it vacant pro TEN. The Seculo
says it is not impossible that the en-
bassy will be abolished.

That the railroads of the country are
better off than they were year ago is
proved by their own reports for 1902,
abstracts of which arc now before the
commerce commission, and from which
the commission has formulated its re-
port covering the year. The com
mission finds that while receipts have in
creased more than S14, 900, 900, the cx-
penses during the same period decreased
$70,0OO,000. The saving was not cf-
fected by reducing the number of en-
ployes nor by reduction in wages, for
both were increased. The result is ut
tributed to better management as to
economy and efficiency and the in
creasing volume of business.
