Monsetgneur L. Hald. titular bishop of
Messena and vicar apostolic of North

To Mr. Gaffney the pope said:
"When you return to your country, please
tell the president that I esteem and admire
him greatly. He Is s true leader of men."
The two visitors found the pope com
paratively well, but an effort was necessary
for the holy father to speak with his ac
customed energy.
Dr. Bernard Skullk of Lasalle, 111., was
also received by the pope.

him near the pope for several hours each
day said to the carrespondent of ths

"Leo is not ill In the strict sense of tha
word, as he continues to grant audiences.
but the state of his health Is - far from

were very much swollen and of a livid
color. They were very cold, in spite of
the warm weather.
"For a man of rJ these are alarming
symptoms, Indicating a stagnation of the
system. In the general opinion of the
Vatican the pope will not survive the hot
summer months. The holy father lives
more In the spirit than In the flesh, and
every moral shock or episode of human
suffering acts upon htm as a distinct blow.
"The antl-clertcal campaign In France
has-been the cause of great suffering to
him, and the announcement of President
Loubet's proposed visit to Rome, which he
regards as an Insult to the holy see, hi
also given htm much pain. To make matters

himself the period of necessary rest. He

It Is Impossible to tell Just what ta the

CHICAGO. June 30. The Alaskan Central
Railway company has let contracts for 417
miles of road, connecting Resurrection bay
with tha Tanana river.
The route, which was surveyed lsst sum
mer. Is through a valley heavily timbered
and opens a vast country rich In coal, gold
and copper. Its northern terminus Is In
the midst of the new Tanana gold fields. '
The road will make Interior Alaska ac
cessible every day In the ysar and save
three weeks of travel now necessary to
Interior points by the circuitous routes up
the Yukon river. The projectors claim
that the building of the Alaskan Central
will Increase the annual gold production of
Alaska from the present output of $44,000,-
Q00 to 1300,000,000, snd attract aa Increased
immigration of scores of thousands.
The Department of Agriculture's experi
ments In southern and central Alaska have
demonstrated that any vegetation can be
raised In the northern states of the union.
The climatic conditions are about tha same
ss In England snd southern Norway. These
countries are tempered by the Gulf Stream
just as southern and central Alaska are
tempered by tha Japan current.
In addition to the resources of gold, coal
and timber, the new railroad will penetrate
a copper belt which has been pronounced
by government and private mineralogists
to contain the most extensive and highest

NINETEEN STARTERS PUT UP BRAVE FRONT
Wonderful Horsa Dlstaaees All at
Start aad Leads Practically from
Post to Wire, Wlaalng by
Six Lengths.
CHICAGO, June 30. -The Picket, a horse
that never before flashed flrat past tha
post, won the American Derby today. Hs
set the pace every step of the dlKtance,
was never challenged and won In a gallop
by six lengths. He ran the Derby distance,
one and a half miles, faster than It was
ever run In the race, his time being 2:33.
Claude, the winner of three Derbies, was
second. Bernays, the Cincinnati candidate,
waa third.
The crowd of 70,000 people which wit
nessed the sixteenth American Derby, saw
a contest which was already decided whan
tha field turned into the stretch. In front
of a struggling Held. The Picket ran so
easily and truly as to leave no doubt where
he would finish, consequently the roar of
cheers which greeted him began when he
was more than an eighth of a mile from
the wire.
Breaks All Kinds of Records.
The Dorby wa a record-breaking turf
event In more ways than one. Nineteen
horses went to tho post, the largest previ
ous field being fifteen. The largest crowd
that ever gathered on a western race track
covered the Washington Park grounds. The
race was worth XX1.275, gross value, tha
richest In the history of the ruce, with one
exception. Betting on the result began In
March and continued until the horses wont
to the post. More money, it Is aserted, waa
wagered on the Derby than on any other
race ever run in America.
The victory cf The Picket was no sur
prise, because a surprise was expected,
but there were some big disappointments.
Savable, the favorite, son of Salvator,
thought by John A. Drake to be Invincible,
failed to live up to hla reputation. Ha re
ceived a ride from Jockey Lester Relff that
a novice could have duplicated. Bavable
was never dai gerous and ths fortune bet
on blm by his owner. all want to enrich
the bookmakers.
Starter Dwyer delayed tha start nine min
utes before he dropped tha Hag. Winner
Simon, a "dark horsa." was the flrst to get
In motion, but Ths Picket did not delay aa
Instant.. In tha nrot rush for positions be
was successful and he had ths lead tn com
paratlvaly a few strides. Past tha stand Ail
Re voir, tha hopa of Memphis, was running
second, with Ullfain, Maxey Blumenthal
and other conspicuous candidates In the
next positions. There was no hustling un
til the field struck tha back stretch. 8av
bla was In seventh place and tn front of
htm were The Picket, Au Revolr, Linguist,
Bonny Burr, Gold Bell and Bad News. Im
mediately behind was Claude.
Picket Never Falters.
There was not an Important mova by a
Jockey till tha field had paased tha half
mile pole and struck tha big bend. Tha
Picket, then running at his own clip, never
fatered. An Revolr began to weaken. Lin
guist was all through and began to drop
back. Claude made his movs snd qulokly
advanced to fourth place. Savable st this
critical place only held his own. Ths grad
ually lengthening field of horses was st the
head of the stretch. Ths remainder of tha
Journey was through a lane of people who
were clinging to the rails 100 deep on either
sids of the course. There was no electrify
ing final struggle. The Picket had his Held
beaten, and beaten badly. He was simply
running as hs pleased. Jockey Helgsson
eased him up a bit aa he neared tha wire.
The race was over and a Kentucky horsa
bad won.
Claude was easily the best of the other
start eis. He came fast tn the stretch, but
little Johnny Daly saw he had no chanco
to catch The Picket and also eased up,
but almost too soon, as Bernays came on
grandly from the center of the field and
hitched up In a drive with 8avable for tha
shortest end of ths purse. Bernays got It
by a neck.
Judge Hlmes, the horse that had Jumped
into popularity and was heavily backed
within a week, failed to make a showing.
The fast track was against him. Hs rap
idly went to last position after ths start
and stayed there. He was forty lengths
behind when Tha Picket reached the wire.
Tha Picket la a bay colt, by Falsetto
Voltario. Ho waa bred by his owners, Mld
dleton Ac Jungbluth. at Louisville. Hs raa
last year, but never won, and consequently
carried the light burden of 115 pounds. Tha
Picket was regarded as a dangerous can
didate. Last Tuesday he was worked over
the Harlem track In preparation for ths
Derby In almost record time. He covered
the mils and a half In 2:33. Ths time waa
so fast that many people doubted ths trutu
of tha reported workout.
Track Bettlag is Light.
The betting at the track waa tha lightest
tn years. Tha bookmakers wrote aa many
tickets as usual, but the amounts were
small, as all the big bettors laid their
money In the future books.
The Picket opened at to 1 and advanced
to 10 to 1 before post time. Claude ad-

I vanced from to T to 1. Bernays remained
stationary at S to 1. while Savabla went
