Second Operation on Pope Leo Crop Statistics Weekly Trade Review. Farmer Killed by Showman Strike Picket Shot Christian Endeavor Convention Death by Collision. The Gaynor-Greene case iaa taken another turn and the United States au thorities do not appear to havo any in tention of allowing the matter to drop, Judging from a cablo received at Quebec from England to the effoct that a petition had been presented to the privy council asking for leave to appeal to that body from Judge Caron's judgment rendered last fall, which practically allowed both Messrs Gay nor and Greene their liberty In the dominion. Nothing had been heard of the case against Gaynor and Greene until Thursday evening, when Mr. Tasch ereau, m. p., who was their counsel here, received a cablegram from Lon don to the effect that a petition had been presented to the privy council asking leave to appeal from Judge Caron's Judgment. The petition was a very lengthy one and contained all the proceedings be fore Magistrate LaFontaine in Mont real and Judges Caron and Andrews In Quebec. Ther case had been fixed for the 18th Instant, but as Mr. Tasohereau could not reach London In time he cabled back to try and have case postponed until August 1, and the reply was re ceived that the privy council would sit until 24th of July. Mr. Taschereau, consequently decided to go to England and left Saturday afternoon by steam er Pretorlan for London, expecting to reach there about the 21st. Messrs Gaynor and Greene will make a big fight on the other side and will have some of the most prominent counsel in England to look after their caso. Discussing Leo's Successor. The Tribuna of Rome, which s!nce the grave condition of the health of the pope became generally known, has been publishing sketches of the cardinals wiho are considered likely to become head of the church, devotes an article to Cardinal Gibbons, which ends as follows: "The partisans of Americanism have In the past often spoken of Cardinal Gibbons as a possible successor to Leo XIII. The Idea was for many reasons too daring to become a real ity; but It would not have appeared altogether impossible without the Spanish-American war which rendered Cardinal Gibbons' position excessively delicate with the Spanish Catholics and remainder of the world. "He would not be a pope of the two American continents or even an Amer icanist, but pope of the United States against whom "would rise the Spanish cardinals with all the prestige of their Indisputable loyalty to the Apostolic See and who would have on their side the greater part of the Latin card! nals. "This does not mean that In case a conclave Is 'held Cardinal Gibbons will be without Influence. On the contrary he will have power which will be ex erolsed by him with wisdom in favor of a candidate who will agree with the state of modern civilization." A Second Operation. Another operation has brought further relief to Pope Leo and by It the possibility of his life being pro longed was Increased, but It can hard ly be said that the operation Improved bis chances of recovery. As an Immediate result of Frl day's operation, the pope spent nuiet and almost painless day, with. for 'his age a normal temparature and he once more strikingly exhibited his strength of constitution and Intellect, At the examination in the evening the doctors could not perceive any regath erlng of serum In the pleural cavity, but it was feared that the presence of serum would be detected today, thus rendering necessary perhaps another operation In a few days. Decreased Acreage of Corn. Returns to the chief of bureau of statistics of the department of agrlcul ture show the acreage of corn planted to be about 89,800,000 acres, a decrease of about 4,200,000 acres or 4.5 percent, from the area planted last year, as revised in December. The average condition of the grow Ing crop on July 1 was 79.4, as compar. cd with 87.5 on July 1, 1902, 81.3 at the corresponding date in 1901 and a ten year averaso of 89.8. The average condition of spring wheat on July 1 was 82.5 as com pared with 93.9 last month; 92.4 on July 1, 1902, 95.6 on July 1, 1901, and t 10 year average of 83.9. The amount of wheat remaining in the hands of farmers on July 1 is es timated at about 42,500,000 bushels, equivalent to about 6.3 per cent, of the crop of last year. The average condition of oats Is 81.3, against 92.1 on July 1, 1902, and a ten year average of 87.8. The average condition of barley Is 8fi.8 aeainnt 91.5 one month ago, 93.7 on July 1. 19u2, 91.3 at the correspond ing date in 1901 and a 10 year averago of 87.3. Weekly Trade Review. Weather conditions continue almost perfect, the winter wheat crop harvest has about been completed, with a con ihw larger vield than last vear: retail trade In summer goods has Im proved, and reorders from Jobbers are larger In volume. Confidence In a large fall trade grows as corn and cot ton make up for their early backward 6tart. Business at the East Is rather bet ter as a whole, due partly to the Im proved outlook in labor matters. Hot weather helps summer goods, how ever. Eastern summer resorts are making up for an early backward season. s The Iron and steel market la dull and unsettled as to prices. A good volume of orders fcr rails has been booked. Many mills shut down for repairs or because of hot weather. Pig Iron production Is large and Southern producers are expected to cut prices.

King George of Saxony ha3 person ally demanded punishment of an editor for lese majeste. Some time ago tie Dresdner Rundschau, a weekly publi cation, printed an article concerning a petition Bent by a needy widow to the king's daughter, Princess Mathlldo, in which the princess sent her "but three marks fop five starving children." Another article in the same paper discussed the affairs of the crown princess in the form of a fable, where upon followed the confiscation of the issue and the arrest of the editor. The proprietor of the paper, advised by Berlin lawyers that the Saxon au thorities had no right to take such ac tion, decided to place the whole mat ter before the king. To this the minister of law replied on June 29 that his majesty had de cided that the author of the articles should be prosecuted by law. Show Seal Eludes Capture. Bob, a tame seal, which three weeks ago escaped from a Cortland, N. Y., park, defies capture In the river near Wilkes-Barre, where since Its escape it has been living luxuriously on the fine black bass with which the stream abounds. A week ago Friday it was first lo cated at Meshoppen and enticed close to shore, but when Hugh Sharpe, of Wilkes-Barre, Its trainer, reached the scene no ruse to get it Into the cage was successful. Fanny, Bob's mate, was sent to the spot, but her en. clearing nc.te3 could not win him from freedom. Sharpe has been trying to capture the seal ever since. It grows wilder every day. A number of fishermen with nota are organizing and will make an effort to capture him. Strike Picket Shot. An Italian strike-breaker at the foundry of E. C. Stearns & Company at Syracuse Sunday afternoon fired upon and wounded George Moore, a union molder employed elsewhere but in sympathy with the strikers. Three men are under arrest for complicity In the shooting, Thomas Ross or Rosa, Antony Dettor or An tonio Ditor, and Nich Perrulie or Nicolo Mazullo. Moore was fired upon In the street from the factory and evidence oh talned by the police points to Ross as the man who fired the shots.

His AppDiatient to Succeed Sanger Decided on. Appointment Agreed Upon at a Ccn- ferencc Between President and Sec retary Roet Said to B Satisfactory to Senators Plett and Depew Mili tary Career of Distinction. Oyster Bay, July 14. President Roosevelt has decided to appoint Gen eral Robert Shaw Oliver of Albany, N. Y., as assistant secretary of war to succeed Colonel William Cary San ger, resigned. The appointment was agreed upon finally at a conference between the president and Secretary Root. It has been in contemplation for some time, as it has been known that Secretary Sanger desired to retire from the war department on account of the ill health of Mrs. Sanger. His resigna tion was placed in the (hands of the president to be accepted as soon as convenient. General Oliver has had a military career of distinction. He served In the civil war as a volunteer officer and subsequently served as an officer of the regular army establishment iu both Infantry and cavalry branches. For many years he has been identi fied witii the New York National Guard and now Is a brigadier general. General Oliver Is engaged In the iron business and Is quite as prominent in commercial circles as he Is In mili tary affairs. It has not been decided definitely when General Oliver will assume his new office, but as Colonel Sanger de sires to relinquish his duties as soon as possible it Is likely General Oliver will undertake them as soon as he can arrange his business affairs. The appointment of General Oliver, It can be said, 13 quite satisfactory to Senators Piatt and Depew, who were consulted regarding it. In connection with the consideration of appointments it can be said that the president has not thought serious ly of naming Charles S. Francis of Troy, N. Y., as ambassador to Italy because, so far as the president Is aware, Ambassador Meyer has no In tentlon of resigning. The rumor, It is stated, Is on a par with that which Indicated that Am bassador McCormick was to retire from St. Petersburg to be succeeded by Mayor Low of Now York. Both stories are without the slightest foundation. Secretary Root will leave Sagamore Hill for Washington today. WALES VISITS KEARSARGE. Witnessed Rapid Loading of a 13-Inch Gun at Portsmouth. Portsmouth, July 14. The Princo of Wales asked numerous questions on his visit to the Kearsarge regarding the superimposed turrets, particularly inquiring how rapidly the guns could be loaded.

The operation was rapid ly performed, to the apparent gratifica tion of his royal highness. "The prince is a naval officer and knows what he Is talking about," said Capt. Hemphill. The British officers gave a ball last night in the naval barracks in honor of the American visitors. Five hun dred persons were present. Attack on Ciudad Bolivar.

Symptom In Pope's Nines Pintln( to Early Dieeolutlen. Rome, July 14. "While there 13 lift there is hope," was all the consolatioi that Dr. Lapponi could give today it admitting that Popo Loo's conditioi was "very grave." The pontiff has suffered another re lapse and he lies this morning In t more critical condition than at anj time since the middle af last week. The semi-comatose condition intt which he fell at midnight and the con fused state of his heretofore lucid mine on bis awakening at an early ihoui this morning, accompanied by stil greater depression than during yester day, are regarded as symptoms of the gravest nature and as pointing to at imminent dissolution. Even In the early evening medica opinion was less pessimistic and Dr Mazzonl thought the end was not with In sight. He expressed the belief that unless the disease took an unexpected turn there wa3 no reason to appro hend death for two or three days. This statement, however, did not re lieve the anxiety of those who know what powerful stimulants are being constantly administered. Some attribute the pontiff's weak ness today to the excessive mental and physical efforts undertaken Sun day In receiving visitors, hearing mass, etc. Never before has the patient's weak ness progressed as it old yesteraay For the first time since his illness the pontiff asked to have the shutters al most closed, as the light hurt 'his eyes and at the same time, contrary to 'his custom, he begged to be left as quiet as possible. Another noteworthy symptom of his weakening condition was the docility with which he tcok medicine and nour ishment. Previously, Indeed during his whole life. Pope Leo has been against the prescriptions of doctors oi anything which had the aspect of being forced upon hirrr. His feeling 0f fatigue and indlffer ence was interpreted as a sign thai his vitality was fast diminishing. Late last evening nine cardinals, In- eluding Satolll and Martinelli, were admitted to the sick room, but the pope could not even speak to thorn, merely giving them his hand to kiss. Dr. Rossonl was reported to have eald In an Interview yesterday: "The pope's pulse reaches 90 pulsations and over. Just calculate how many times it has pulsated In 93 years and you understand that In his present condi tion all his organs and the pulse must end by getting so tired that they will stop forever." At the American embassy it was stated that no request, official or other wise, had been received up to yester day for Information regarding the pope's condition. King Edward has Instructed the British ambassador. Sir Frnncis Bertie, to telegraph twice daily the state cf his holiness. The Tribuna last nirht printed a fctntement that the poke's real ailment was cancer of the liver. Dr. Mazzonl characterizes the statement as a stupid falsehood without an atom of founda tion. HORSE THIEF CAPTURED. During the Shooting Incident to His Capture Received a Mortal Wound. Rutland, Va., July 14. Word wa received here of the capture at Ar lington of Rufus Young, said by the police to be the most notorious horse thiof n New England, and of the fact also that Young, during the shooting Incident to his capture, received a wound which may cause his death.
