Cluctt, Pcabody 6c Co.

known as the Chelsea section, is an emphaticproof of my contention that work and matennlcan often be secured by the city of New-Yorkthrough "treasurer's orders" at less cost thanby advertising for bids. In the early part of

this year ih-i present Commissioner of Docksadvertised for bids and executed a contract (No.

748) for the removal of 435,700 cubic yards of

earth at the rate of 38% cents a cubic yard.The price paid by thi former Dock Commis-sioners under a "treasurer's order" for similarwork In the very same section and for the samenunibei of cubic yards was 302-lu cents acubic yard. In other words, the present Dock

Commissioner is now paying over $38,000 morefor dredging than was paid by the Tammany

commissioners for the same character andamount of work.

The records of the Department of Docks willshow that the present Commissioner recognizesthe advantage of being able to use "Commis-sioner's orders," as such orders have >een called

since the department was made single hcaaed.Itwill be seen, however, that he does not issuethem merely for purposes of economy. On May

32, 1902. he gave a "Commissioner's order" forfive hundred barrels of cement at $1 60 a barrelto bis friend George Manchester, secretary ofthe Republican County Committee, who repre-Bents the Eureka Cement Company. He did sonotwithstanding the fact that up to that timethe department was using standard cement pur-chased by me. In my capacity as treasurer, at$135 a barrel. Imay add that the EurekaCement Company was permitted to deliver theconsignment of cement r.ia dock inJersey City,

Instead of at the yards of the Dock Depart-

ment or the North River, as a special favorto the secretary of the Republican County Com-mittee. This courteous consideration of the con-venience and Interests of the company in ques-tion entailed an additional expense to the city"of New-York of at least $300, tug hire, to bringthe cement to its proper destination.

CENTRAL. HUDSON COMPANY'S PIER1 may give another striking example of the

uttej disregard of the city's Interests recentlydisplayed by the present Commissioner ofDocks. The present municipal administration,

in spite of its pretended policy of opposition tothe .ranting of extra long leases to private cor-porations, and to f Iving out any leases withoutputting them up at public auction, has recently

leased Pier No. 24, North River, for a term ofnearly thirty years to Governor Odell's CentralHudson 8

•air oat Company. The Commission-

er of Docks fixed the rent tl of these valuabledockage facilities at $31,172 a year, althoughthe city of New-York has been getting for manyyears an annual rental of $47,000, each, fromPiers Nos. 22 and 23. and despite the fact thatPier No. 24, which the Governor obtained, isnearly two hundred feet longer than Pier No. 22.

On a conservative estimate, the loss sus-tained .>• the city of New-York In this trans-action alone amounts to about $480,000 Thelease inquestion was secured, as is well known,through the personal efforts of our enterprisingGovernor, who is the treasurer and chief stock-holder in the Central Hudson Steamboat Com-pany. He made repeated calls at the office ofthe

*present Dock Commissioner, at Pier A.

North River, and it was the day following hisfinal visit that his steamboat company got apier for $16,000 a year less than is obtained forthe adjoining one.It might be well at this point to remember

that the makeup of the directorate of the Cen-tral Hudson Steamboat Company Is rather in-ter sting. It Includes Reuben H. Fox, secre-tary of the Republican State Committee; JohnMitchell Murray, former Republican Congrrrss-rr.an; Albert B. Boardman, publican corpor-ation lawyer; [jUciUflN. Littauer, the Republi-can Congressman, who, at the present time, Isreceiving much newspaper notice, and Frank S.Witherbee, former Republican National Com-mitteeman for this State. Imight add thatBenjamin B. Odell. sr., the father of our Gov-ernor, is the president of the company.

In th!3connection Iwish to say that an In-spection of the records of the Dock Departmentfrom January 1. 1888. to December 31; 1901. willp^ove that leases were neither granted nor re-newed on terms calling for rentals lower thanthe amounts previously paid for the leased piersor bulkheads. Inalmost every case the leasesexecuted provided for the payment of an In-creased rent charge. As a matter of fact, the< ;iv of New-Ycrk received 27 per cent more rev-»-r.ue from the same piers nd bulkheads during

th« years Ihave mentioned than under the pre-vious "reform" administration .

Gould's Plans for the Road— Thinks Pros-perity WillLast for Years.[BYTKUJOKAPH To IBMTl'.linNE.l

Pittsburg, July 12.— George J. Gould spent theday here going over the work being done on the

Wabash t> rminal. He took a trip up the Monon-

gahela River In a launch to look over the ton-

nage producing section he is anxious to tap.

Asked about the Btory that he was interestedIn buildinga line from ocean to ocean, he paid:

"That story 1b ridiculous. We have no euchIntentions. Our lines reach only to Ogden, west,

and we have no notion of extending in that

direction. We have excellent traffic arrange-

ments to the Pacific Coast, and are very friendly

with the interests controlling these lines."Mr. Gould said the Gould system between

tidewater and Salt Lake would be in operation

within eighteen months. He said that he had

learned on his tour of inspection that businesswas not on the decline. He found much con-

struction work under way. and by fall he ex-pected to see the boom take hold and flourishfor several years to come.

"The only blue mot in the country Is v*all

Street"

he said. He added that he had paid

much attention to crops, and believed that they

would be good. H« expected to make the Wa-

bash the ireatest grain carrier in the country

STEEL TRTIST GETS AMERICAN CAN.

The Deal, It Is Said, Involves $50.0C0,000.[IIV TETK'iRAI'H TO THE TBIBQIO.]

Chicago. July 12.— After several weeks of ne-

gotiations, me American Can Company, of this

City, is t^aid to have been absorbed by the

United States Steel Corporation. The deal Is

said to involve ?f>O,ooO.o<X>.It Is reported that the owners of American

Can stock are to receive a sharp advance on

current quotations for their shares. The stock-

holders asked $60 a share for their preferred

Btock. After much discussion the agreement

was reached that their price should be paid, on

condition that they accept preferred Steel stock

at current quotations. On this basis the deal.It is said, will be officially closed within a fewdajb.

The American Can Company has a large plant

at Joliet, 111., for the n:anufacture of crockery

and tinware. J. Pierpont Morgan and CharlesM. Schwab are s«ld to have arranged the con-solidation. It is believed that George W. Per-kins was here 10 arrange the details of the deal.

Character of Occupant Reflected inthe Apartment. '

Rome. July 12.— Many varying descriptions ofthe room where Pope Leo lies have been given.The following account has been obtained fromone of the Pope's nephews, who sees his uncledaily:

The room is large, blight ancl airy, and thewalls are hunjr with pale green and gold silkdamask. A large curtain divides the room andis generally drawn open, showing on the rixhithe modest, narrow, brass bed, covered with ared damask coverlet. At the head of tho b*<lis a good picture of the Madonna, beside a fontof holy water, while in the middle of the adja-cent wall Is an Immense crucifix, reaching fromfloor to Cf.ilhiir, with an ivory figure of Christ.At the foot of the bed stands a simple walnutwriting desk, at which the Pope has writtenthe best of his Latin poems. On the other sideof the curtain stands the Pope's armchair, whichis most comfortable; a small table, a fewshelves holding chosen books, an-i nothing more.The chamber gives the idea of extreme sim-plicity.

Even in his present condition Pope Leo hasgreat objection to having people about him un-less specially called, po that except in the mo-ments when he was much worse Dr. Lapponland Pio Centra, themselves could not enter un-less he rang. Centra, who Is most reluctant to

leave the room, asked this morning if the Pontiffdid not think it better to have some one alwaysto kc>p him company. Pope Leo tranquilly re-plied: "I am In good company," pointing to thelarge crucifix

Now and then tho Pope suspects that some-thing is being concealed from him, so to-day,after the visit of the doctors, when a copy of themedical bulletin was brought in he read it nt-tentively and then rang. To Centra, who ap-peared in response to the bell, he said abruptly:"Bringme another copy of the bulletin," empha-sizing the word "another," and evidently think-ing that the first one had been prepared for hisbenefit, as had been done before. Centra brought

another to- 'ay.

One of the greatest difficulties Is to prey- .the Pope from speaking too much. When someone is allowed to visit him he immediately be-gins describing the satisfaction he felt at t

greetings he received on the occasion of the

last jubilee and also at the manifestations of

sympathy from all parts of tho world during hispresent Ulnesn, which he considers almost provi-

dential In strengthening the Influence of the

Catholic Church in the person of its head. Theneither the doctor or one of his nephews steps

In and monopolizes tho conversation, obliging

the Pope to be silent, which he does not like atail.ItIs wonderful what different impressions peo-

ple receive of the Pope's conditi n, according to

thtlr different temperaments. When CardinalsParrs 'a, Segna ana Cretoni left the sickroom to-gether Cardinal Ferrata, rubbing his hands to-gether, said: "The Holy Father i-1

-almost coa-

valesce.it. We shall soon see him Inthe Vaticangardens again." Cardinal Begna. maki.it theBi^n of che cross, sighe i, "Our beloved Pontiff

is lo»t," while Cardin; '. Cretoni, shaking hishead In loubt, exclaimed, "Who knows? Bemay die; he may get better."

ANOTHER RIOT IN HUNGARY.

German Monks, Nuns and StudentsPray forPope's Recovery.

Rome, July 12.—There was a striking scenein St. Peter's to-night. In the midst of the

vespers the German 6tudents, all In scarlet caa-

socks, entered the cathedral. Behind themcame German friars, In rough haircloth cas-eocks, and then German nuns, In the black andwhite gowns of the convert. These formed aprocession, and. kneeling first at one altar and

then at another, pmyed aloud and in silenco forPope Lee. The congregation Joined In the pro-

cession until the basilica was half circled by

the moving mass, ana when St. Peter's tomb

was reached long lines followed the picture of,

the Saviour held aloft by a monk.On one side of the brass ra !.i which guard

the entrance to the tomb knelt the nuns, op-posite, threa deep, were the shorn heads of thefriars, while In the centre knelt the young stu-dents, their scarlet cassocks making h hlnsn ofcolor which stretched far down the dimly light-ed nave. For nearly an hour no move or so m^lcame from those kneeling- save every few se<

-onds the hoarse, monotonous cry, "Ora pronoblsr." Tho dirgellke cadence of 'the gutturalGerman voices drowned the Italian choir, whichstill sang- the vespers from a neighboring nltar.The ceremony over, the Germans filed out, th--lrheads still bent in prayer.

HOT SPELL IN PARIS BROKEN.

Both Mr. Kerens and myself shall alwaysdeem ourselves exceptionally favored in thematter of our audience with the Holy Father.Itis generally the case that applications for apersonal audience with the Pope are subject todelays, sometimes ten or twelve days passingbefore a reply Is received. Mr.Kerens and my-self made formeIapplication on August 13, andwere surprised to receive a summons the follow-ing day for a personal audi°nce on August IS.It has always been my opinion that the factthat we were Americans had something to dowith this promptness in the consideration of ourrequest, for another section of our party, whichhad been delayed at Venice and arrived In Romea day subsequent to our advent, was likewiseadmitted after a delay of only twenty-*hours. The Pope la a man of dominant will, andhas ireputation for doing exactly the oppositeof what people think he is going to do. Some-times he willrefuse to permit cardinals an en-trance to his audience eh- r~ber for a month ata time, and Just as often he willgive Instructionsfor their appearance when his strength is notequal to the task. So you see that we had every

reason to feel gratified at our success.The ceremonial connected with an audience Is

not marked with any great degree of formality.

We were met at the entrance to the Vatican by

the Swiss Guard, ingorgeous uniforms, designed,

itis said, by Michael Angelo, and worn by themever since. We were politeiy requested to leaveupon a table such things as canes, umbrellas,

and especially cameras. From this hall we wereushered into a larger apartment, where our hatswere deposited. Thence we were piloted through

a long succession of smaller chambers until theanteroom was reached. The persons preceding

us were closeted with His Holiness for a briefperiod, probably not more than a quarter of anhour. Our audience lasted for about that length

of time. As Ientered the chamber where thePope was awaiting our coming Iwas Impressedby Its almost Spartan plainness. Everythingwas of the utmost simplicity. Besides the ordi-nary chair In which the Pope was seated therewas not another piece of furniture to be seen,nor even a picture or a carpet or a rug Theouter office of many a lawyer or business manis palatial in comparison to that little chamberIn which the head of the Roman Catholic Churchthroughout the world received his children. Butthere was no need of such things. Leo himselffilled the room with his presence and magneticpersonality. His frame was slender andshrunken, and his skin like fine parchment, butwhen Ilooked in his eyes and felt their brilliantflre burning through my very mind Iforgot allelse.

According to the usage, we knelt reverently

and kissed the silver cross upon the Holy

Father's slipper. He then addressed me In thepure and liquidLatin of Cicero. He had heardthat Iwas a Regent of the University of theState of New-York, and with that power ofgrasping the details of unfamiliar things heshowed that he understood what th meant.

"The cause of education Is of the srreatest im-portance to the State," Leo said, "and for thisreason Ibless every institution under your care.Iam much pleased with the great and generousAmerican people, who saw lit to elect you, aRoman Catholic priest, to such a position oftrust. It shows they recognise the value of aChristian education, and because they have rec-ognized such qualifications In you. I, too, ampure that by you the Christian education ofyoung boys and girls willnot be neglected.**

Leo impressed me as a man of great kindli-ness of heart, simplicity of manner and tre-mendous it-serve of will power. There wasnothing of ponderous gravity about him; on thecontrary, he seemed the soul of good humor.He sailed broadly as he caught sight of a pileof religious objects Ihad brought to him to beblessed. When Itold him they were for mycongregation he murmured, "Good, good!" TheHoly Father speaks with great fire and energy,and gesticulates with an Italian freedom andgrace. Once he threw out his hand toward me,end I,mistaking1 his Intention, took it reverentlyIn mini.-. He smiled like a father, pressed mybroader palm firmly and gently, and alleviatedmy confusion. The master of the chamber, whowas standing beside him, with difficulty sup-pressed a smile himself, but when he saw howpleasantly the Pope received what he probablyconsidered a familiarity such as one might ex-pect from Americans his expression changedImmediately.

At the time of our audience the Pope lookedvery old and wrinkled, but the wonderful en-ergy of his voice and gestures and the tire Inhiseyes impressed the beholder as those of a manstill young in heart and strength.
