CARDINALS TO CAST BALLOTS
FOR SUCCESSOR TO POPE LEO
They Have Entered Their Cells at the Vatican
and Have Been Locked In—Conclave
Largest in History of Church.
Rome, July 31.—Midnight. The largest
conclave in the history of the Catholic
church has assembled in the Sistine
chapel for the purpose of electing a suc
cessor to Leo XIII. Sixty-two cardinals,
with over 200 clerical and lay attendants,
are, to all intents and purposes, prison
ers within the Vatican.
Dr. Lapponi's duties began immediate
ly after the opening of the conclave,
much fear being expressed concerning
the health of Cardinals Mocenni, Cretoni
and Langenieux, who are already ill. The
first cardinal to be taken to his bed was
Cardinal Herreno y Espinosa, archbishop
of Valencia, who is 81 years of age and
was appointed a cardinal at the consistory
held in June last. He is prostrated by
over fatigue.
Doctors have ordered him to take abso
lute rest.
Although Cardinal Herrero is confined
to his "cell'’ by his illness, he will be al
lowed to take part in the conclave by vot
ing if he is not able to get up.
News from within the precincts of the
conclave at midnight is to the effect that
after prayers cardinals took supper at
a common table with the exception of
nine of them, who had their meals served
in their cells. Cardinal Herrera y Espinosa
with the assistance of a cordial admin
istered by Dr. Lapponl, is reported to have
gone quietly to sleep.
Forecasts Have Little Value.
Tomorrow morning the cardinals will
enter upon the solemn duty of choosing
the new pope by ballot. The general im
pression exists that within two or three
days possibly, though not probably to
morow. a new pope will be chosen. But
no matter how long a time may be re
quired the absolute seclusion of the prin-I
ces of the church from the outer world i
must, according to the church law, con-j
tinue until a choice is made.
Prognostications as t<j who will wear |
the tiara as Leo’s successor have little i
value, as even the cardinals, who, this
evening, entered their cells, seemed to
be without definite ideas as to the issue.
Cardinal Rarnpolla, Qtrdlnal Serelino
Vennutelll, Cardinal Di Pietro, Cardinal
Gotti and Cardinal Oreglia continue to bo
most frequently mentioned as the likely
candidates, but the moment the name of
one of them is mentioned a hundred rea
sons are supplied to show that he could
not possible be elected.
So seldom have the majority of cardi
nals now here met each other and so
widely do they differ in nationality or
personality that no organized movement
in support of qp.y one cardinal has thus
far been practicable.
The rival claim- of the leading Italian
cardinals, so freely ventilated in the local
press, are matt rs which, are al! important ,
tn connection with the decision of the
conclave.
More interesting, perhaps, tn a certain
way; is the impression which prevails in
certain sections, that, no mQjter what '
the verdict of the conclave mac be, great
changes are impending in the policy of the
Vatican. and that within a year or two
the new pope will no longer consider
himself a prisoner in the yaticai., but
will, unlike Leo. leave its precincts when
necessary.
Chances of Rampoila,
Just before going Into his cell today
a prominent cardinal threw an interest
ing sidelight on the chances of Rarnpolla.
Leo’s secretary of state has been per
sistently abused recently by the govern
ment papers for liis temporal power pol-
i am not so sure. ” said the cardinal
to the representative of the Associated
Press, “that the public attacks on Car
dinal Rarnpolla by the government are
not inspired with a view to working up
among Catholics and cardinals a spirit
of enthusiasm fcr him which might great
ly increase bis chances of election. In- .
need, it is perfectly certain that the
Italian governin'nt would not be at all
sorry to see Cardinal Rampoila wear the
tiara, as, at heart, I do not believe the
government has any serious disposition
to alter the existing relations between
the Vatican and the quirinal."
There Is no doubt that Cardinal R.im
polla, who is so weli known to ail the
cardinals because of the position he held
under the late pope, has a strong follow
ing, but whether it is approxima ely
strong enough to bring him within m'-as
urable distance of the papal throne will
only be revealed when the first ballot is
taken tomorrow. Cardinal Seraflno Van
nutelli was certain, according to a state
ment of one of those who entered the
conclave tonight, to secure ten votes at
the first ballot. He is regarded as par
ticularly friendly to Ireland, and it is
understood has the support of Cardinal
Logue, archbishop of Armagh, and, it Is
said, also of Cardinal Gibbons
One of the features of today’s prepara
tions was the comparative ignorance dis
played by some of the cardinals concern
ing the conclave’s method ->f procedure.
One of them, who looks old enough to
have participated in any number of con
claves. although Cardinal Oreglia is the
only member of the sacred college with
previous experience. Ingeniously admitted
that ho had not read the rules governing
the technicalities of the voting since he
was a boy at a seminary.
Clean Linen for Three Days.
All the members of the sacred college,
by mutual agreement, took with them
when they' entered the conclave sufficient
clean linen to last three days. If at the
expiration of that time the conclave Is
etill in session arrangements have been
made to pass out the soiled linen on the
dcumb waiters and have the laundry work
done by employees of the Vatican.
Before entering the conclave Cardinal
Gibbons requested the Associated Press
to deny ail interviews alleged to have
been given out by him while in Rome,
tnd also all published accounts of con
versations he is alleged to have had
with private Individuals, referring es
pecially to the statements of The Italia
yesterday to the effect that he had crit
•eised the policy of Rarnpolla.
* Until the conclave Is ended, 700 Italian
coopers will remain in the piazza of St
Peter 4”0 to the right and 390 to the ieft,
while’lso more soldiers will be stationed

pears to be little necessity for these pre

Cardinals Take the Oath.
When the cardinals had all assembled
tl>e marshal of the conclave, Prince
Chigi-Albanl, who was an Imposing fig
ure in full court costume, knelt and took
the following oath:
"I, Maro. prince Chigi-Albanl perpetual
marshal of the conclave, deputed to di
rect the surveillance of the apostolic
palace, promise and swear that I will bo
faithful to the sacred college of the most
eminent and most reverend cardinals of
the holy church, that witii the greatest
diligence and loyalty I will watch said
palace during the conclave for the elec
tion of a new pontiff and that I will not
allow or suffer any cardinal or any of th'.'
people with them to infringe in any way
on the established constitution of the
holy fathers for the election of a Roman
pontiff. To this God elected me and those
are the holy' gospels of God."
As he uttered the last word Prime
t’liigi-Albani put his band on the new
testament. Alter he had taken the oath
his four assistants, known as captains
of the conclave, three of whom assisted
Prince Chigi-Albanl at the conclave of
1878, the prince’s secretary and the chap
lain were similarly swurn and then the
same oath was administered to the officers
of the Palatine guards and the Swiss
guards. By the time this ceremony was
ended many of the older cardinals were
quite worn out with fatigue, although the
ritual to be followed in the opening of
the conclave had by no means been car
ried out.
Then in pleasing confusion the cardi
nals, each escorted by the noble guard,
assigned to him, went to their respective
cells or apartments. Cardinals Moeeni
(who*' was born in 1823), Cretoni (born 1833)
and Langenieux (born in 18241 were so
exhausted that they had to be supported
by the noble guard in attendance on
them.
Lots Drawn by Guards.
As it is customary for each cardinal to
have a guard told off for bis service in
the conclave and there are sixty-two car
dinals it was decided to press into this
service the locals. The latter are not full
fledged soldiers and were drawn by lot.
The question of which cardinal they fall
to is a matter of serious Import, to them,
as each guard congratulates" his car
dinal and wishes him good luck in the
coming election, for which good wishes
he receives, if his particular cardinal is
elected pope, the sum of $10,900 or lucra
tive employment. The excitement over
tlie drawing of the lots was Intense, as
the soldiers do not usually get such a
reward for a few good wishes. The guard
of Cardinal Gibbons is Cadet Count Della
Porta.
The marshal of the conclave, Prince
Chigi-Albanl, having insisted that the
number of people who are to enter the
conclave must be reduced to a really in
dlsp. risible niOnbßr, there win uuu
about 275 persons present.
The Sistine chapel has been completely
transformed, the only thing connecting it
with the temple of art which it Is g> n
erally known to be is Michael Angelo s
dome which shines in undimmed bril
liancy above the attar completely cover
ing tlie last, sacrament.
“The altar Is hung with tapestry repre
senting the descent of the holy' spirit sur
mounted by a violet canopy and is coveted
with velvet heavily embroidered with
gold. On the highest stop of the altar
stands a majestic red and gold chair,
which will serve as throne for the new
pope, when he first receives tne nomage
of the sacred college.
Along the two sides of the chapel are
the seats for the cardinals with very
high backs and each having in front
of it a little desk with the, cardinal s
name on it in Latin. These desks are
pens, ink and paper and above each seat
is an imposing canopy, the first seats,
near the altar, will be occupied by the
cardinal deacons, the lathers following
in order of precedence.
During the balloting six candles on the
altar will be lighted. A large tame lias
been placed in the center ot the chap a
for counting the votes. Most conspic.miis
of those in the chapel a small stow,
near the entrance of which the voting
papers will be burned after tlx*’ nave
been cast and the result determm. d
upon. Just outside the door of the chapel
is a small- room where the papal rob«-s
intended for the new pope are kept. I here
are throe sets of these robes, large,
medium and small, so as to be able to lit
a man of any size, but there are dozens
of berettl, or priestly caps, as it has
often been found very difficult to find
one which would fit a particular head.

BUT WITHOUT RESULTS.
Rome, August I.—The first day' of the
conclave has ended and no pope has
been elected. Both morning and this af
ternoon all the members of the sacred
college except Cardinals Herrera, y Es
pinoza, Cretoni. Langenieux and Collie,
who were confined to their cells by ill
ness, entered the Sistine chapel, where,
after the solemn ritual appointed lor the
occasion, they dropped their ballots in
the chalice. That these gave no candi
date tlie necessary forty-two votes was
made known to Rome and to the world
by the smoke of burning ballots, which
issued from the Sistine chapel. Tomorrow
the cardinals will vote again, both In the
morning and the aiternoon, but with what
chances of arriving at a decision be
fore Monday none can tell.

though in the immediate neighborhood
thereof, a thousand troops and gendarmes
stood Idle in the shade of the colonnades.
In the afternoon the sun blazed down
and St. Peter at 4 o’clock was just as de
serted as on the day Pope Leo died.
Crowds Watch for Smoke.
Soon after 4 o'clock, however, crowds
began to gather. First came the priests
and monks of all denominations in their
queer colored cassocks, and women from
the poorer parts of the city carrying or
dragging children with them. By 5
o’clock several persons, including many
American tourists, hundreds of priests,
anxious Romans of all classes, gathered
at the steps of the basilica and along the
left side of St. Peter square. Only
from these points was the Sistine chapel
visible.
Every eye was turned toward the long,
narrow' tin tube, with a conical top,
which rises crookedly from one end of
the chapel, it might well be 'an Impro
vised smoko outlet for a hovel instead
of world-watched beacon, which alone
can give the sign awaited by so many
millions of people.
As evening drew near ithe crowd in
creased and Roman princes and princesses
drove up and watched from their car
riages through opera, glasses the tin
smoke stack, which glistened in the sun.
Prince Orsini, the head of the Roman no
bility, who shares only with Prince Co
lonna. the hereditary right to stand next,
to the papal throne, sat on the steps of
St. Peter beside an old beggar woman.
Like her. be watched intently for the
smoke signal but no smoke came.
Tile bells of the basilica ping out the
call to vespers, but none went in. Tho
priests, pacing the steps of St. Peters,
prayer book in hand, muit'tered the eye
ing office with tin ever watchful eye
on the Sistine chapel. The suspense be
came intense; even the street urchins
who had come in large numbers to gather
the discarded ends of cigarettes thrown
away by the nervous crowd, stopped
their work and gazed toward the chapel.
Behold, It Smokes.
Several false alarms of, "Behold, it
smokes, ’’ caused a thrill of excitement
Then came a rumor that a pope had been
elected and many persons rushed to the
basilica, in order to get good seats when
the announcement should bo. mode. Ihe j
impression that a choice had been reach- |
ed was heightened by the appearance on i
the walls of the Vatican of a few offi- J

PROLONGATION OF CONTEST
AROUSES PUBLIC INTEREST
Rome, August 2—No successor to Leo
XIII has yet been chosen. From the
smoke which issued from the little chim
ney on the Sistine chapel tonight a vast
multitude gathered around St. Peters .
learned that the second day of the con- j
clave had been fruitless. The conclu- .
sion is drawn that the strength of the
leading candidates remains unbroken
ami that no compromise candidate has
yet appeared. And there is no indica
tion of how long this condition of affairs
will continue. The prolongation of the
contest has aroused tremendous public
interest, if indeed It cannot be called
excitement. Every trace of that apathy |
which followed the death of the late
pope has vanished and instead there |
now exists a burning Interest in every
successor.
Night Scene at St. Peters.
The scene at St. Peters tonight was by
far the most, impressive that has oc
curred in Rome since the late pope be
came ill After the fruitless morning
ballot a belief spread that a new pontiff
would surely bo elected this evening. All
roads during the afternoon, therefore, led l
to the Vatican. Carriages and vehicles i
of every description rattled into tho .
plaza of' St. Peters. The regular Sunday 1
leisure was forgotten in the anxiety to I
see the new occupant of the holy see. |
The streets converging Into St. Peters I
plaza were bla.-k with the thousands
who entered the square with the cease- .
less regularity of an incoming tide. From
the barracks came large reinforcements
of troops, who marched across th. plaza
and lined up at the foot of the steps of
the basilir a, leaving only small spaces
betxveen the companies in order to pre
vent a sudden rush to get inside St. Pe
ters to witness the nexv pope give bls
blessing to the. Catholic world.
IF RAMPOLLA CAN'T WIN
HE WILL FAVOR DI PIETRO
Rome, July 28.—The following statement I
is from a high authority in the Catholic .
church and represents fully the attitude ■
of the cardinals toward Rarnpolla:
"Cardinal Rampoila is the mightiest '
man In the Roman church since the den’ll ■
of the pope, as he was during Leo’s life, i
but that he will achieve at lite coming
conclave the ambition of his life, the
throne of St. Peter, is improbable. Should
he see no chance of success he will on ;
the first day, when the votes of tho con- I
clave are recorded In the sistine, there I
may be six or eight in favor of Rarnpolla ■
aside from the American vote, but it'
takes two-thirds of the total number to I
effect an election.
The votes are recorded twice each
day. mornings and evenings, and if
his chances do not improve by night,
Rampoila is practically sure to with- '
draw in favor of Angelo Di Pietro,
prefect of the council and a cardinal
■ since 1893.
Di Pietro Is a man after Bampol
la’s heart, and it is not impossible
! that he may succeed where Rampoila
! fails.
Di Pietro’s election would mean a
continuance cf Rampolla’s policy,
but that very prospect may be fatal
to his ambition.
“Rampoila Is today the most influential
of al] cardinals. He is a dictator in his
sphere of influence, Leo's niter ego—
wherever the holy father granted him full
sway. But while Leo ruled men by the
Inherent dignity of his manner and office,
Rampoila always appears as the stern
commander, the implacable foe of any
sort of resistance or argument. That is
cne of the reasons why he is much dis
liked In the circle of cardinals. The
princes of the church recognize In him
the master only, not the coworker. Be
sides. they are painfully aware that their
own opinion counts for naught whenever
It runs amuck of Rampolla’s. Rampoila
suppresses all opinion contrary to ills,
suppresses it so thoroughly that, once
expressed, it is never heard of again.
“The holy father received the heads of
the sacred congregations, the inquisition,
the Index, the council, the bishops and
regulars, the consistory, tho apostolic
visitations, the propoganda fide and others
al stated intervals—there are twenty-one
of them—but tlie business of tlie church is
so vast that his holiness could see few
other cardinals aside from those at the
head of the different brani lies of his
government. And of the few who do suc
ceed in gaining speech witii the pontiff
none talk politics, internal or external;
that is at least the impression we have m
the Vatican, though, of course, nobody
car say for certain what passes between
the pontiff and a cardinal at private au
dience. As a rule it may be assumed that
the holy father is seldom bothered with
political advice contrary to his own and
Rampolla’s views, and little would be
gained, I dare say, if such were extend
ed. In that, as in otner respects, Rampoi
la hag adopted the maxim of Prince Bis
marck. ‘The chancellor talks politics to
the sovereign, the ministers report, no
more, no less.’
"Rampoila, as Intimated, is supreme in
his own sphere, his council outweighs that
of all the rest, but for that reason the
number of his enemies in the coming con
clave Is steadily growing.

TRADE BATTLE SURE TO COME.
Chamberlain Predicts Great Economic
Fight in England.
London, July 29.—The house of com
mons today passed the sugar convention
bill to its second reading by a vote of
224 to 144.
In the course of the debate upon the
bill. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, in
defending it, said:
“For twenty years we have tried to
secure the voluntary abandonment of
bounties. It was only when we changed
opr policy and suggested retaliation that
we secured the object for which we had
struggled so iong and escaped a condi
tion of things under which Germany and
Austria would be able to regulate the
price of sugar to Great Britain.’’
Mr. Chamberlain said he believed tho
bill would not increase the price of sugar,,
but. by giving greater stability and cr
talnty to trade, would benefit the
West Indies. Referring to the possibili
ty of losing the American market, he
said:'
“If we had only treated the West In
dies fairly there is no reason why they
should noX now be supplying us with the
greater part of our demjind. The govern
ment has a choice between prohibition
and countervailing duties.’’
He believed prohibition the simplest
plan, but should it become necessary
lie would take the opinion of parliament
upon the question of countervailing du
ties. Mr. Chamberlain did not touch
directly upon the fiscal question, but in
cidentally remarked;
“We are on the eve of a great economic
fight, and it behooves everybody- tr> keep
cool as long as possible and not turn an
economic, irtto a personal light.”

WILL WE TURN TO FREE TRADE
Demolition of Tariff Wall Is Prs
dicted From London.
London. July 29.—Governor F. 6.
Schuster, at a meeting of the Union Bank
of London, limited, today made a lengthy
reference to tin British fiscal controv< rsy,
which met with the approval of a large
gathering of city men. While he welcom
ed an inquiry into the fiscal policy of tie;
government, the whole tenor of Mr.
Schuster’s remarks was opposed to tam
pering willi free trade. He expressed the
belief that lhe United States was within
“measurable distance of adopting free
trade,” and in support of this said he
had a private interview with tlie late
President McKinley two years ago, in
which the latter said:
“My tariff bill Ims done its work. Wo
have been able to build up many great
industries in a short time, and now
gradually, but inevitably, our tariff must
be reduced.”
Mr. Schuster contended that Americas
indiislri.il position under protection was
“not entirely attractive nor are its work
ing men contented."
FILIPINOS TO BE ELEVATED.
Commission Will Carry Out the Pol

Manila, July 2'. l .—The United States
Philippine commission lias been conduct
ing an examination of the heads of the
various departments of the government, |
forcing on them a general policy of re- j
trenchment. Tlie commissioners have In- j
substituted Filipinos in subordinate pus! ■
tlons formerly assigned to Americans I
and have impressed on the chiefs that j
they- must follow the McKinley policy of j
the elevation of tlie Filipinos. As a re- I
.till of tlie commission's action, it Is
estimated that the budget for the half
V-ar will be reduced from $5,209,408 to
$4,216,165 for the insular departments, and
for the city of Manila from $1,407,034 to
$969,015, exclusive of permanent improve
ment.
