NO POPEJS YET
TWO BALLOT8 TAKEN WITHOUT
DECISIVE RESULTS.
FUTURE APPEARS UNCERTAIN
Conclusion That Strength of the Lead
ing Candidate Remains Unbroken
A Large Crowd Packs St. Peter's
Square.
HOME. No successor to Popo Leo
XIII has yot boon chosen. From
tho smoko that has Issued from tho
chimney on tho Slstlno chapel a vnst
niultltudo gathored around St. Pctor'B
learned that tho second day of tho
conclavo had been frultloss. Tho con
clusion is drawn that tho strength of
tho loading candldato remains un
broken and that no compromlso can
dldato has yet appeared, and there Is
no Indication of how long this condi
tion of affairs will continue Tho pro
longation of tho contest has aroused
tremendous public Interest, If Indcod,
It cannot be called excitement. Every
traco of that apathy which followed
tho death of tho lata popo has van
ished and Instead there now exists a
burning Interest In everything portaln
lng to tho oloctlon of his successor.
This culminated Sunday night In tho
nppcaranco of a largo crowd, which
packed tho great squaro of St. Peter's
and presented a spoctacle seldom soon
at tho slto of so many historic coro
monles. Tho lmpenotrablo seclusion
which shrouds thoso engaged In de
ciding who shall bo at tho head of
the Catholic church heightens tho fev
erish curiosity of thoBo who await
their decision. Princes, princesses,
archbishops, bishops, monslgnors,
priests, woll-to-do business peoplo In
short, peoplo from every walk of life,
from that of nobleman to street beg
gar, talked of nothing but la fumata
(the signal smoko). But this morn
ing and this ovenlng this was tho
lodestono which drow thousands to
tho squaro of St Petor's. Thoro for
hours, with strained eyes and craned
necks, thoy waited in tho hopo of seo
lng a tiny little stroam of smoko, so
insignificant that It was almost Im
possible to rcaltzo that a great Issuo
was Involved In Its fleeting appear
ance Tho sceno at St. Peter's was
far tho most impressive that has oc
curred In Romo slnco tho lato pope
becamo ill.
After tho frultloss morning ballot a
report spread that a now pontiff
would suroly bo elected la the even
ing. All roads during tho afternoon
led to the Vatican. Carriages nnd
vehicles of ovcry description rattlod
Into tho plaza of St Potcr's. Tho reg
ular Sunday leisure was forgotten in
tho anxloty to seo tho new occupant
of tho holy seo. Tho streets converg
ing Into St. Peter's plaza wero black
with tho thousands who entorod the
squaro with tho coasoless regularity
of an incoming tldo. From tho bar
racks camo rolnforccments of troops,
who marched across tho plaza and
lined up at tho steps of tho basilica,
leaving small spaces botween tho
companies to provont n sudden rush
to get Insldo St. Peter's to witness
tho now popo glvo Ills blessing to tho
Catholic world.
