CARDINALS VOTIMG Balloting In Progress For the Successor of Pope Leo XIII. r The Present Conclave Is the Largest of Such Gatherings in the History cf the Catholic Church. Until a Selection Is Made the World Will Be in Ignorance of Conclave's Progress. Rome. Aug. I.—The largest conclave In the history of the Cathol'c church has now assembled in the Sistine chapel for the purpose of electing a successor to Leo XIII. Sixty-two cardinals. with over 2-0 clerical an.f lay attendants are. to all intents and purposes. prisoners within the Vatican. This morning the cardinals entered lAI * •; *: E-- • ■ v* •' ' astoiXAL ns-'Xins.i nu«t res rora. upon the solemn duty of cho ,-Ing the new pope by ballot. The general impression exists that withia two or three days possibly, a new nope will be chosen But no matter how long a time may be required the abs- lute seclusion of the princes of the church from the outer world must, according to the church law,, continue until a choice is made. Prognostications as to who will wear the tiara as Leo's successor have little value as even the cardinals, who last evening entered their cells, semed to be without definite ideas as cammwal jumfolli. to the issue. Cardinals Rampolla. Serallno Vannutelli, Di Pietro, Gotti and Oreglia continue to be most frequently mentioned as the likely candidates, but the moment the name of one of them is mentioned a hundred reasons are supplied to show that he coaid not possibly be elected So seldom have toe majority of liaeeordl uals u u n hcio met each other and so widely do they differ in nationality and personality that no organized movement in support of any one cardinal was practicable. The rival claims of the leading Kalian cardinals, s freely ventilated in the local press, are matters whim are all important in eonnect.on with Ike decision of the conclave. Mere interesting perhaps 1= a certain way ts the impression «tr h prevails la ortaia sections that no matter wkat the verdict of the conclave may be. great changes are Impending tn the policy of the Vatican, and that vrithtn a year or two the new pope Will no longer consider himself a prts oner in the Vatican, but will unlike Leo. leave its precincts when necessary. Just before going into hin cell a prominent cardinal threw an interestrag side light on the chancea of Rampolla. Leo s secretary of state has been persistently abused recently by the government papers for his teu>poral power policy. "I am not so sure." said the cartful, ' that the public attacks on Cardinal Rampolla by the government are not Inspired with a view to work tag ap among Catholics and cardinals a spirit of enthusiasm for him which might greatly Increase h!s chances of election. Indeed. It u perfectly certain that the Italian government wculd not be at all sorry to see

Rampolla wear the tiara, as at heart I do not believe the government lias any serious disposition to alter the existing relations between the v.-.tican and the quirinal." There is no doubt that Cardinal i Rampolla. who is so well known tn all the cardinals because of the p- si- | tion he held under the late pope, has I a strong following but whether it is even approximately strong enough to bring him within measureable dis- ' tance of the papal throne will only -■ ' A ‘ THS VATICAN. ' be revealed when the ballots are taken Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli was certain. according to a statement of one ■ of those who entered the conclave, to secure ten votes at the first Lallot. He is regarded as particularly friendly to Ireland, and has the support of Cardinal Logue, archbishop of Armagh, and it is said also of Cardinal Gibbons. Until the conclave is ended 700 Italian troopers will remain in the piazza of St. Peters. 400 to the right an i 3'»o j to the left, while 150 more soldiers ! will be stationed in the piazza at St. i Mark. Mounted carbineers end policemen will patrol the walls of the ! Vatican The gardens and streets adjacent to the Vatican will be watched day and night by four detachments of guards, while an extra fore? of polite will do duty in the siieets oi i’ae Boigu district and the bridges leading into It. In the barracks will rema'n 60j troop j subject to emergency i all. DRIGGS IN COURT. Former Cc -igressmai Pleads Not Guilty to Indict.-nents. Now York. Aug.

MORE HCITEMENI — Postoffice Investigation Results In Further Indictments. I Ftderal Grand Jury Finds True Bill! Against Nine Persons Highly Ccnnected in Official Life. August W. Machen Previously Indictee Is Named Jointly With Others Involved Washington. Aug. 1. —Th? postofflct investigation has developed more ex- ! citement. the Federal gran I jury re turning seven indictments, involving nine persons for alleged conspiracy and bribery, in connection with postal affairs. August W. Machen, for , many years the head of the free delivery service, was named jointly with a. w. MAenxx. others in four of the indictments The other men were William Gordon Crawford, who was deputy auditor for the postoffiee department from June 12. 1893. to September 15. 1897. and is a member of one of the exclusive clubs of Washington: I. Stern, of Baltimore. Geo. E. I-orenz of Toledo, formerly a prominent government official, and Martha J Lorenz, his wife; John T. Cupper, mayor of Lock Haven. Penn : William C. Ixmg. an Ohio man. who has sp -ut nrucn time in Washington in recent years and who is an intimate frrind of Machen: Maurice Runkel, of New York city, and Thomas W. McGregor, a prot°?e of Machen, who was a messenger at the beginning of Machen s administration of the free delivery service and in recent years has been in charge of the supplies for the rural free deliveryservice. Crawford voluntarily appeared in court soon after the Indictments were returned and supplied *1 -,<>« i bail, and McGregor likewise gave 15.-W bail. Long was arrested at his home, where Deputy Marsha! Springman found him in bed. He was released on lld.ooo bonds. His was the only case in which a bench warrant was issued, owing to the voluntary action of the othe-s indicted. Machen was not re-arrcstcd under the new indictment, as he gave bonds in 120.00" under his ind <trneni several weeks ago but the authorities felt this was sufficient to insure hit appearance. Warrants have been issued for the out-of-town parties indicted and their arrest is expected during the day. The grand jury has not completed the work laid befor? it by the postal investigators and other indictments may be expected later on possibly within a week or two ft is understool Ht»t two adUtiot-il casts against one of the parties indicted today. a former prominent bureau official. are being inquired into by the grand jury and that the acts of a former high official of the postoffice department already under indictment by the Brooklyn grand jury, arc being investigated.

"I should lju to have a position in your department" •‘What do you know about banking;" asked the comptroller, thinking ti lat perhaps in the unique stranger niig| lt be discovered some genius of au a, tuary or accountant. “Unhappily nothing," replied the ap plieant. "Who sent you here?" "No one." "Well, who's your congressman? To whom can you refer me?" •‘I know no congressman." "Anil you expected to get a government position without qualification f or the position and without indorsement or backing of any character? “I think I could learn otHee work here, and the ralary would be a great help to me in my literary career." “Oh. you are a writer, are you? What's your line? Poetry, perhaps?" “I try to write poetry," confessed the visitor. “Got any of it with you?" asked the comptroller, now considerably amused. "If so. let's see it.” The poet-naturalist produced R <ong redolent of early spring. It treated of the chewink. the oven bird and the Carolina wren, with a dainty reference to forest violets and hepaticn. “This is great." commented the comp, troller; "It’s right out of the wixxls." "Which is more than can be - ■ .1 of the author.” observed Mr. Bn it; thinking ot the world of Uiiaiuv >,m,h he was seeking to invade. The comptroller laughed. "And is this all you have in the way ot credentials ?" “I have some more poems nt home," was the bland and sincere reply In much merriment the comptroller summoned an assistant. “Here's the most astonishing Instance of ingenuousness I have ever encountered in public life." said he. "That man over there applies for a government position and the only backers that be can name are the muses. Yet this department is not political, and somehow I m indinM to put the fellow to work. I am mptivated by the man's honest sim plicity.” So John Burroughs was set tn work as a treasury clerk. No appoin’:. - ever liefore had been necurvd on such a basis and no one since has had ths temerity in asking for a government job to cite song fiirds and wild 2 vers as his only references.
