    NO POPE AS YET
TWO BALLOTS 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.
ROME.—No successor to Pope Loo,
XIII has yet been chosen. From
the smoke (hat has issued from the
chimney on the Sistlne chapel a vast ,
multitude gathered around St. Peter’s
learned that the second day of the
conclave had been fruitless. The con
clusion is drawn that the strength of
the leading candidate remains un
broken and that no compromise can
didate has yet appeared, and there is
no indication of how long this condi
tion of afTairs will continue. The pro
longation 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 lalo pope has van
ished and Instead there now exists a
burning interest In everything pertain
ing to the election of his successor.
Tills culmi nated Sunday night in the
appearance of a large crowd, which
packed the great Bquare of St. Peter’s
and presented a spectacle seldom seen
at the site of so many historic cere
monies. The Impenetrable seclusion
which shrouds those engaged in de
ciding who shall be at the head of
the Catholic church heightens the fev
erish curiosity of those who await,
their decision. Princes, princesses,
archbishops, bishops, monslgnors,
priests, well-to-do business people—In
short, people from every walk of life,
from that of nobleman to street beg
gar, talked of nothing but la fumata
(the signal smoke). But this morn
ing and this evening this was the
lodestone which drew thousands to
the square of St. Peter’s. There for
hourB, with strained eyes and craned
necks, they waited In the hope of see
ing a tiny little stream of smoke, to
insignificant that it was almost Im
possible to realize that a great Issue
was involved in Its fleeting appear
ance. The scene at St. Peter's was
far the most Impressive that has oc
curred In Rome since the late pope
became 111.
After the fruitless morning ballot a
report spread that a new pontiff
would surely be elected In the even
ing. All roads during the afternoon
led to the Vatican. Carriages and
vehicles of every description rattled
into the plaza of St. Peter's. The reg
ular Sunday leisure was forgotten in
the anxiety to see the new occupant
of the holy see. The streets converg
ing Into St. Peter's plaza were black
with the thousands who entered the
square with the ceaseless regularity
of an incoming tide. From the bar
racks came reinforcements of troops,
who marched across the plaza and
lined up at the steps of the basilica,
leaving small spaces between the
companies to prevent a sudden rush
to get Inside St. Peter's to witness
the new pope give his blessing to the
Catholic world.
VOLCANO IS IN ERUPTION.
Clouds of Black Smoke Issue from
Colima.
MEXICO—A dispatch from Colima
Sunday morning states that the Cr
lima volcano is In eruption. Great
clouds of smoke are Issuing from the
volcano and are being carried to the
northeast by a strong wind from the
sea. It is believed that another
overflow of lava has occurred, but
the dense smoke that surrounds the
mountain makes It impossible to de
termine exactly what has happened.
The outbreak has been accompanied
by loud detonations. Information from
the surrounding districts Is to the ef
fect that rumblings and underground
shocks have been felt during the past
twenty-four hours. No reports of se
rious damage have been received, but
the people in the nearby villages are
greatly alarmed and many have left
for other districts.

LAND OWNER WANTS MONEY.
Commission Company Attached on a
Claim of $40,000.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—An attachment Is
sued by the United States circuit court
was served on the Merchants’ Brok
erage and Commission company by
United States Marshal Dorsey, who
immediately took possession of the
commodious offices. The company oc
cupied the office suites formerly occu
pied by the John J. Ryan Turf Invest
ment company, which failed early this
year during the expose of the get
rich-quick concerns.
The suit on which the attachment
was Issued was filerl In the United
States court Friday by attorneys rep
resenting William Wllmorton of Pre
emption, Rock Island county, Illinois,
a wealthy land owner, who is 83 years
of age, to recover $40,000 alleged to
have been invested. It is asserted
that the operations of the commission
company were similar to those pur
sued by the turf invesment companies,
which recently failed here, and that
the company had customers all over
the country.

NEW YORK—Colonel T. C. Camp
bell, who has had charge of the pros
ecution of Goebel's alleged assassins,

conclusion Is reached. The findings
of Colonel Barllngton were reviewed
by General Davis, judge advocate gen
eral, and he will submit his opinion
to the secretary of war at once.
Plans for American Tour.
NEW YORK.—The plans for the
American tour of Richard Strauss, un
der direction of Henry Wolfsohn, have
been completed. Mr. Strauss' first ap
pearance In America will be in an or
chestral concert in this city, which
will Immediately be followed by a

number of recitals, together with
Mme. Strauss de Athne, in the larger
cities.
Government is Sustained.
WASHINGTON—United Slates Con
sul General Gudger at Panama lias
made tlio following report by cable,
under Wednesday's date, of the termi
nation of the disturbance on the
Isthmus, caused by the erratic aetion
of General Cohos: “General Castro
arrived this afternoon and took com
mand of the troops, fully sustaining
the government. Commander In chief
is to leave the department.”
Hanna Get* Into Campaign.
CLEVELAND, O.—Senator Hanna
returned to Cleveland from Newport,
unexpectedly, to be present at an im
portant meeting of the Consolidated
Street railwav directors. It is under
stood Mr. Hanna will devote much of
his time during the coming month to
preliminary work in the state cam
jaign. It is probable that the senator
and Colonel Myron T. Herrick will
stump the state together.
Sugar Duties Continued.
SIMLA—The levying of counter
vailing duties on imported and boun
ded sugar has been extended to March
31, 1904. The decision is based on
the fact that most of the sugar avail
able for export from bounty-giving
countries up to March 31. 1904, will
have received bounties. The govern
ment reserves the power to reimpose
a differential duty in case of any
country restoring bounties directly or
indirectly.

'I -
i INDICTMENTS AGAINST ALLEGED
POSTOFFICE CROOKS.
: —
NAMES OF THE TRANSGRESSORS
Contractors Said to Receive Strap:
from Government and Charge Them
Up—Machen, McGregor and Tw<
Lorenzes in the Deal.
WASHINGTON—Seven indictments
were returned Friday against nine per
sons in connection with thee postofflce
scandals. Of these several had beer
previously indicted on other charges
Those indicted:
August W. Machen, formerly general
superintendent of free delivery.
John T. Cuppen, mayor of Lock
Haven, Pa.
William C. Long of this city.
William Gordon Crawford of this
city.
George E. Lorenz of Toledo, O.
Martha J. Lorenz, wife of above.
Maurice Runkel of New York city.
Thomas W. McGregor, formerly
chief of the supply division of the
rural free delivery service.
Leopold J. Stern of Baltimore.
With the exception of Crawford all
the above are indicted for conspiracy.
The indictment against Crawford is
for presenting a false claim against
the government.
Crawford came into court voluntar
ily in the afternoon and was released
on $10,000. Long was brought in on a
bench warrant. Arrangements for his
ball are now being made.
Machen, Cupper and Long are
named jointly in one indictment for
violation of the conspiracy section of
the revised statutes. The indictment
declares that between July 1, 1897. and
July 1. 1901, Cupper induced Machen
to give him the contract for painting
letter boxes, package boxes and posts,
and that Cupper painted these boxes
in Reading, Albany. Scranton and
many other cities, and in addition
painted 17,711 boxes at the box factory
at Reading. Pa., and 2,048 package
boxes at the box factory in Cleveland.
O.. Cupper paying Machen a commls:
sion of 10 a box, Long acting as an
Intermediary.
Another Indictment against Stern.
Long and Machen, based on alleged vi
olation of the same statute, alleges
that Stern entered into a contract with
the government to furnish letter car
riers and collectors satchels for the
free delivery service, the satchels to
be supplied in each case with a leather
shoulder strap. The cost of each ol
these straps to Stern would amount to
25 cents. The indictment says Machen.
in his official capacity, was to procure
shoulder straps at the expense of the
United States and deliver the same to
Stern to be used by him in the per
formance of his contract, thus en
abling him to save 25 cents on each
satchel delivered to the government.
It is further alleged that notwith
standing this Stern was to charge the
full contract price for each satchel and
that a portion of his saving was to be
retained by him and the residue paid
to Long to be dvlded with Machen.
NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS.
Treaty Looking to Opening of Man
churian Ports Preparing.
WASHINGTON—While there has
been a lull in the Manchurian nego
tiations during the last week, it. is
stated that up to this point satisfac
tory progress has been made and
there is every reason to believe that
before the first of September next a
treaty will be ready for signature
which wil ldefine the trade opportuni
ties of the United States in Manchu
ria. An authorized statement on the
situation is as follows:
The question of opening new locali
ties to trade in Manchuria has been
in substance satisfactorily arranged
with the Chinese government and
nothing remains to be settled except
the date when said localities can be
opened. This will be subject to the
ratification of the treaty in which the
opening is agreed upon.
Tobacco Trust Gets it.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—A deal was clos
ed in New York Tuesday whereby the
Continental Tobacco company secures
the rehandling plant of N. F. Dortsch

stood that the acquisition of the
Dortsch plant means the transfer to
Louisville of the New Orleans plant of
the Continental company.

ers. Pumping will soon be commenc
ed at the twentieth entry, where wa
ter has been encountered, so work may
be commenced there as soon as all the
bodies have been taken out.

CATTLE;—There was a small run of
cattle and for the week receipts have
been moderate. Taking the month ot
July as a whole, however, there is an
increase over July, 1902, amounting to
about 8,500 head. This increase has
been brought about by the large sup
ply of corn-feds coming forward, as
there were a good many range cattle
marketed the last half of July a year
ago, while this vear there have not
%een enough range cattle on sale to
make a market. The beef steer mar
ket could safely be quoted fully steady.
In a good many cases the more de
sirable grades sotd a little higher. As
high as $5.30 was paid, as against a
top of $5.35 yesterday, but the cattle
sold were not as good. The top price
a week ago was $5.25. The cow mar
ket was quite active, and the more
desirable grades sold readily at steady
to, strong prices. The common kinds
were more or less neglected the same
as usual, with prices uneven, but still
on the average they sold to fully as
good advantage as they did yesterday.
Everything on sale was disposed of
in good season. Bulls, veal calves and
stags were in light supply and the
market could not be quoted anything
but steady.
HOGS—Heavy hogs sold largely at
$5.00 aud $5.02%, with some very
heavy weights going as low as $4.95.
The mixed weights went largely at
$5.02% and $5.06, with the choice light
weights and the late sales selling
largely from $5.05 to $5.10. Trading
was not very active at the start, but
the close of the market was quite
brisk and an early clearance was
made. The supply of hogs during the
month of July has been very liberal,
as there is an increase over the same
month of last year amounting to about
36,500 head.

COLONEL WORTH MILLIONS.
Among the Property Discovered is Tl
ties to Lend in Nebraska.
CHICAGO—Three million dollars
worth of property has already been
unearthed by Executor Edwin A. War
field as belonging to the estate of Col
onel George T. Cline, the eccentric
Chicagoan who died on July 7, and
whose will has recently been admitted
to probate. Until the examination of
Colonel Cline’s thousands of letters
and papers is complete it will not be
known how much more the estate is
worth, but it is said to be possible that
it will approximate $6,000,000.
Property has already been located
in Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Mis
souri, Wisconsin, Ohio, New York,
Virginia and Maryland. It is princi
pally in large tracts, with much farm
ing acreage.
Colonel Cline left his entire estate
to his relatives in California and
Maryland.
MONEY OF THE POPE STOLEN.
Big Sum Said to Have Disappeared
From a Chest.
HOME—The scandal over the re
ported mys*erious disappearance from
the pope’s chambers of the fisher
man's ring was quickly hushed up. It
was revived Thursday night, however,
over a report that a sum of 20,000,000
lires ($4,000,000) has disappeared.
The amount was understood to be in
a treasure chest and largely composed
of 1,000 lire gold pieces. It was last
known to be in the secret repository
in Pope Leo's private chambers. To
this place necessarily few persons had
entry and they were for the most
part personages of the highest rank
at the Vatican.
Sometimes a man makes a fool of
himself because his wife lets him

Was Going to Texas.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Seth E.
Tracy, a native of Texas, but at pres
ent living in this city, was arrested
on Friday by local detectives for the
authorities of Houston, Texas, where
he is wanted on an indictment charg
ing an alleged shortage of $20,000 in
the funds of the school board of which
he was secretary. The Texas authori
ties were notified of his arrest. He
regretted that the arrest had occurred
just now.
Given Thousands by Strange Woman.
Without leaving a clue to her Iden*
tlty an elderly woman left a package
containing $11,110 in greenbacks at
the door of James Healey of Schuy
lerville, N. Y., a few nights ago with
no explanation save that it was “from
a friend.” Hr. Healey has been in
financial difficulties, and recently went*
through bankruptcy, his store and
stock being sold to meet his obliga
tions.

.Chances for Young Deweys.
Never in our history, in times of
peace, was there such a chance for the
budding Paul Joneses, Deweys and
Farraguts. The academy at Annapolis
is yawning for 307 young men who will
become the captains cf oceanic war in
case we ever come to another conflict.
This is a situation that is absolutely
unparalleled. Usually the demands on
West Point and Annapolis cannot be
accomodated, but the latter institution
wants more young men than are ap
parently available.

Number of School Days.
In 1840, the year in which the Unit
ed States census began to enumerate
the number of persons that had attend
ed school the previous year, the total
amount of schooling for each Inhabi
tant was 208 days, and, according to
the census of 1850, the average amount
of schooling had increased to 420 days,
for this decade wps a period of agi
tation on the part of Horace Mann and
his disciples. In 1870 the number had
reached 672 days, and in 1890 1,023
days.
Some men take what is in sight and
hustle for more.
If you don’t get the biggeeS and
best it’s your own fault. Defiance
Starch is for sale everywhere and
there is positively nothing to equal
it In quality or quantity.

Edward’s Modest Daughters.
King Edward’s three daughters
seem to be devoid of personal ambi
tion and to be quite willing that their
sister-in-law and their aunts. Helena,
Louise and Beatrice, should represent
royalty in their stead. So far from
profiting by the risk in rank which
their father’s accession gained them,
the Duchess of Fife and her sisters
prefer to stay away from functions
where they would precede Queen Vic
toria’s daughters, so it is not often
that these illustrious ladies meet in
full state array. One parliament
opening and the coronation have seem
ed about enough for them. It is
scarcely likely that the Duke of Fife’s
daughters will make royal matches,
and in all probability they will be
come British peeresses and have a far
more pleasant life than if they turned
into German princesses and had to
(follow a foreign spouse to his own
country.
Irving and Diraeli.
Fifteen years ago a rather grewsome
sensation went round the Duke of
Wellington’s drawing room at Strath
fieldsaye on the appearance of a dis
tinguished and expected gue3t (Henry
Irving). As the tail, thin, impressive
figure with the cadaverous counte
nance, seemed to totter rather than
walk across the floor to his host and
hostess, the murmur passed along, "It
is Dizzy risen from the dead.” The
likeness had, in fact, been noticed
long before by Lord Meaconsfleld him
self. Watching from Mr. Alfred Roths
child’s box the play on the Lyceum
stage, the statesman, to the question
what he thought of it, replied: “It re
minds me of my own career, and in
person I should think Mr. Irving might
be taken for myself.”
What Was ItT
Friarpoint, Miss., Aug. 3rd.—One of
the strangest cases ever reported oc
curred here recently. The son of Mr.
G. L. Butler was very ill. The doc
tor said he had some disease of the
spinal cord, and treated him for two
months, but he grew worse all the
time, and finally the doctor told Mr.
Butler that he did not know what
was the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night
and say that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out of the house, saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discour
aged till one day he saw a new rem- t
edy called Dodd’s Kidney Pills adver
Used, and he at once bought some
and began to give them to his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be
fore he was entirely cured.' He has
not been troubled since. Mr. Butler
says:
“I feel it my duty to tell what
Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All thi6 remedy needs is a fair
chance and it will speak for itself.”
True merit is like a river; the deep
er it is the less noise it makes.—
