2 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 In the piazza at St. Mark. Mounted carbineers and policemen will patrol the walls of the Vatican. 1 The gardens and streets adjacent to the Vatican will be watched day and night with four detachments of guards, while L_ I fI |i II Uli illfl' !

Judging by the small crowds and the perfect order of today there ap pears to be little necessity for these pre cautions. 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. two ballotsTsaturday 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. ft was reported this evening that the Rarnpolla party was in the but tiffs cannot be taken as an Indication of the final result, as the vote of I ope Leo’s secretary ot state may be split up or given In its entirety to some other L 'Apparently trustworthy information Is t<> the effect that Cardinal Rarnpolla re ceived at the lirst ballet this morning twenty votes, Serarino Vannut fill twelve, Gotti seven, Oreglia live. Di Pietro tuui, Capecolatro four and Agliardi three, the remainder being scattered. Humor gen erally assigns Monday as the most like ly day on which an election will occur. No one here supposed the cardinals would select a pontiff on the first ballot; hence this morning few of the populace were present in the piazza of St. Peter, THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA. GA.. MONDAY. AUGUST 3, 1903. 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 cers in fu’l uniform, as if for a great ■ ceremony. I When 6 o'ljoek boomed out from the . big clock of St. Peters there was a sea , of upturned f ces focussed in tense an- , tici] alien on the Sistine chapels crooked I smoke stack. Three minutes later came another cry. This time it was u j From the conical top of tlie stack of t ie Chapel curl 'd out a tiny streak of smoke. , So light so faint, that it was scareeii distinguishable, even against the deep | blue of the cloudless Italian •“ky. * J?,’-*!! i lhe crowd came a sigh of relict, blill watching with craned necks tin y saw the smoke thicken and then di. down, and . in -two minutes ;».ll trace <»f todays i utile ; voting li-'ti vanished in flames. 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. eczema, no cure, no pay.

COLIMA SPOUTING LAVA AGAIN Mexican Volcano Is Once More in Violent Eruption. Mexico City, August 2.—A dispatch re ceived here from Colima this morning slates that the Colima volcano is in eruption. Great clouds of smoke are issuing from the volcano and are being carried to the northwest by a strong wind from the sea. It is believed that another outflow of lava has occurred, but the dense smoke that surrounds the moun tain makes it impossible to determine exactly what has happened. Frisco Is Shaken by an Earthquake San Francisco, August 2—An earthquake lasting nearly thirty seconds was experi enced hero at 10:50 o’clock this evening. Tlie quake was one of tlie longest dura tion in many years. It was not of a violent character and reports of damage are not looked for. Other California points felt the shock. Stanford university reports that the shock lasted forty-live seconds. BIG SUIT AGAINST STATE. Litigation in Virginia Results From. War of 1812 Claims.

The Constitution presents today the first detailed story of the new union passenger station of tlie Atlanta Terminal Com pany, with facts and figures as present ed in the accepted plans of J. Thornton Marye, of Washington, D. C., which will be immediately submitted to contractors for bids and the actual work of construc tion commenced very soon. Fronting on Madison avenue there will be located the Atlanta terminal station, the most beautiful station in the south, the most modern in its appointments, the largest in its accommodations and with a type of architecture belonging to the Spanish renaissance periol at one time warm with color and rich in an artistic combination of the ornamentally decora tive and the intensely practical. Characteristic it is of Dixieland in that it savors of those lirst architectural ef forts of the early Florida fathers and emblematic of the spirit of Atlanta tn that it is at one time a monument to the vast growth of this railroad center of the south and prophetic of the future metrop olis that may reach a million and still find in this depot adequate accommoda tions for urban, suburban and foreign travel. Cities there are that have passed the seven-figure limit that cannot boast of such a terminal. And, while in the twin towers that grace lhe front there is a touch of the left-over period of the Moorish that pre ceded the renaissance, there is in the tremendous space required by the govern ment for the mailing room an indisputa ble testimonial of Atlanta s growing needs in a business way that will not permit of discussion.

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.” You Know What You Are Taking When you take Grove's Tasteless ('hill Tonic, because the formula is plainly i printed on every bottle, showing that it is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form.

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."
