. to realize the solemn business before them.
Mass was said In the Pauline chapel by
Cardinal Oreglla, the camerllngo, who aft
erward administered communion to each
' cardinal.
i , Tho scene was really most majestic, when
, the members of the sacred college, as hum
' bio communicants, advanced to receive the
. -communion from the hands of tho camer
llngo, who gave subsequently a short ad
dress on the solemn nature of the occasion.
After the cardinals celebrated another
mans, either at an altar In the saludlcate
or In his own rooms at a movable altar
prepared for the purpose, breakfast, con
listing of a cup of coffee and rolls, fol
lowed. This was taken privately by the
i. cardinals In their cells. Then the great
business of the day was at hand.
' At 10 o'clock all the cardinals assembled
In the Slstlna chapel for the first ballot.
Complain of Discomfort.
" : Many were the grumbles at the uncom
fortable beds, the heat, the odors and other
discomforts endured. One cardinal declared
he had not slept a wink because of the
mosquitoes.
v ' The chapel presented a picture of much
animation and beauty. Violet was tho lead
ing color. Six candles on the altar gave a
.... peculiar light. In conjunction with the day
light streaming through the wlndowa and
-'' gleaming on the empty throne, on the long
line of seats wllh their canopies, occupied
by the cardinals Intent upon the business
In hand. '
Everything was symbolic. Even the bald
achinos (canopies) which were now raised
over the cardinals' chairs In the Slstlne
, chapel are a sign that each member of the
, sacred college has a personal part In the
sovereignty of the a'postolla see,- but when
a pope is elected they are rimoved, the
. new pontiff alono remaining with this sym-
bol of power.
' Cardinals Are Left Alone -
ru- iThe cardinals went'td'the IMJne chapel, '
jfj acaompanled by their conclavists, carrying
portfolios and papers. When Cardinal Oreg

but the printed Inscriptions' ore the sime,
the blank spaces being nilcd in, at the mo

bottom.
Some Confusion en First Ballot.
Borne of the cardinals did not know how
to ; fold their papers', which' 6aused consid
erable confusion. Cardinal Oreglla, the
camerllngo, demonstrated the folding of a
ballot to those near 'htnv and they In turn
showed others how It must be folded. Each
ballot was sealed, with no distinguishing
mark. The next ballot will proceed much
more smoothly and quickly.
Each cardinal In turn, holding his ballot I
between Ms first finger and thumb ao that
everyone present could see It, advanced
slowly to the altar, where a large challoe
was standing, knelt and prayed briefly;
then rising repeated the following oath:
God witness, He who shall Judge me, that
I elect him who I think should be elected
according to Clod. This I promise to do
also in the urcesslt vote.
So saying, the cardinal dropped his ballot
In. the chalice, bowed before the altar and
returned to his place.
The balloting took a very long time, as
many of the cardinals, owing to their ad
vanced age and Illness, moved slowly and
ware obliged to have the assistance of their
colleaguos.
Ballots Are Connted.
After the balloting was finished, the
chalice Was covered, well shaken and the
ballots were publicly counted. Then, pass

table In tho center of tho chapel, the two
cardinal scrutineers opened the first ballot
and passed It to a third cardinal, who read
It out In a loud voice and the other cardl
nals noted the votes on a printed list of
names with which each was provided.
As no cardinal received the prescribed
two-thirds of the voles a supplementary
ballot was taken, with no better result.
Consequently, at 11:20 a. m., all the ballots
were burned, the smoke being seen from the
left side of tho piazza of St. Peter's, where
a few curious people, mostly newspaper
men, had gathered to record this mute mes
sage. .
Two Cardinals Sick.
It was said on good authority that Card!
nals Herrero and Langenleux were unable
to leave their "cells" this morning, so that
when the time came for voting, Immedl
ately after having taken to the altar his
own vote. Cardinal Oreglla showed the
members of the sacred college a small
empty box having a tiny slit In the cover
This box was locked in the presence of all
the cardinals and the key was placed on the
altar, after which the three cardinal
scrutineers carried the box to the apart
ments of the invalids who, after taking the
prescribed oath, dropped their ballots
through the silt Into the box, which was
taken back to the Slstlne chapel, unlocked

other cardinals in the chalice on the altar,

with a tendency to Increase its strength.
The two invalid cardinals are reported to
be somewhat better.
The cardinals who, like Gibbons, have
rooms with full southern exposure found
the., heat at midday almost unbearable.
The afternoon ballot ended at 6:05 p. m.,
when tbe crowd waiting en the plasza of
St. Peter's saw the smoke from the burned
ballots ascend from the Sistine chapel.
Owing to the lateness of the hour at which
-the burning of the ballots took place many
rumors were current. and hope was even
entertained that a new pope had been
elected.
Another of the cardinals, archbishop of
Lyons, Coullle, has also fallen 111. Cardinal
Herrero y Esplnoea, it is learned. Is suf
fering from heart disease. Cardinal Cre
te nl, in. a moment of prostration from
ataemta, insisted that he wanted to leave
the conclave, saying he -could remain no
longer, but was prevented from doing so by
his colleagues, who In turn kept him com
pany. Cardinal Largenlux is still 111.
Paris Paper Makes Prediction.
PARIS, Aug. J. Le Temps announces this
afternoon that it has a special reason for
believing that the outcome of the conclave
will be as follows:
Cardinal Rampolla, having secured the
greatest number of votes, but not sufficient
to elect, will withdraw In favor of Angelo
dl Pletro, prodatary of the late pope, who
is his friend and co-worker, and who, It
elected, will name Domenclo Ferrata, pre
fect ' of the congregation of bishops and
regulars, as his secretary of state.

TWO OF DEAD STILL UNDER THE DEBRIS
Train Strikes Two Cows While Ren.
ntnst at a High Rate of Speed
Place the Seene of Many
Fatal Accidents.
The Wabash local freight No. 71, due In
Council Bluffs at 6:25 p. m., was wrecked
at Pony Creek crossing, five miles east of
Council Puffs, last evening. The fireman,
head brakeman ana two tramps were miiea
and one tramp seriously Injured.
The dead:
HARRY D. CROWDER. fireman, Stans-
berry. Mo.
W. P. MOORE, head brakeman, Clartnda,
la., crushed to death.
JOHN DEVLIN, home said to be In
Philadelphia, Pa., tramp.
UNIDENTIFIED TRAMP, body still
under wreck.
The Injured:
Alfred Harris, tramp, home In Plymouth,
Pa., back severely injured; taken to Mercy
hospital. Council Bluffs.
The train, which Is an accommodation
running between Stansberry and Council
Bluffs, struck two cows which were on the
track near the Pony Creek crossing, five
miles east of Council Bluffs. This crossing
from the number of accidents which have
cccurred there, is known among railroad
men as "Dead Man's Crossing."
The enelne and seven cars, four of the
cars containing hogs, were piled In a heap.
Two cars loaded with coal and the caboose.
In which were seven passengers, stayed on
the rails. The track was torn up for, a
distance of 200 feet.
Engineer Little Hnrt.
Walter Baldwin, the engineer, was
thrown from the cab Just as the engine
went over, and escaped unhurt except a
few minor bruises. Harry Crowdor, the
fireman, who was standing directly back
of Engineer Baldwin, was pinned against
the boiler by a rod, which pierced his neck.
He was evidently scalded to death. The
body of Brakeman Moore and the third
tramp known to have been stealing a ride
had not been recovered from the wreck at
11 o'clock last. night.
The three tramps boarded the train at
Silver City. Devlin was badly crushed
about the legs and died as he was being
carried Into the hospital.
Moore, the head brakeman, was making
his first run, it Is said, on the Wabash,
having only a few days ago changed from
the Burlington, his home being In Red Oak.
Devlin, one of the men killed. Is about
22 years of age and waa evidently a la
borer. The train was in charge of Conductor
Owen Collier.
David Meyer, a traveling man from Day
ton, O., waa one of the seven passengers
In the caboose, among the number being
one woman and a little boy. All of the
passengers were shaken up, but otherwise
uninjured. Mr. Meyer said the train was
running about forty-five or fifty miles an
hour when the accident occurred. That the
caboose was not piled up with the other
cars -he attributed to the fact that Imme
diately ahead of it were two cars loaded
with coal, the weight of which kept them
from going over with the rest.
Passenger train No. 14 went ut over the
Burlington tracks. The wrecker from Stans
berry Is at work and It Is expected the
track wll) be cleared this morning.

Gewgaw with a History.
Mrs. Keppel Is almost as Important as
royalty, and the fact that she has Just ap
peared in a wonderful new diamond head
ornament, a species of striped ribbon of
brilliants that winds in and out of her
hair, has caused a decided sensation This
beautiful piece of Jewelry has a history.
It began by the loss of a small diamond
bangle when she waa W. C. Whltneyis
guest In New York. He gallantly Insisted
that she should name what she would like
in Its place, as she could not be allowed
to associate her visit In New York with a
loss, even ao small. She said a single dia
mond would supply the deficiency, where
upon he gave her one so- large and beauti
ful that it could only be used as the
nucleus for a crown. Mr. Whitney's dia
mond is the principal stone in the new or
nament, but what the history of the other
stones is has not been told.
Mrs. Coudert, better known by her
maiden name of Amelia Kussner, Is still
staying on In London to finish painting a
portrait of Lady Stuart, but her great sue
cess Is likely to be her portrait of Mrs.
George Keppel. It Is bigger than the ordl-
nary size, and an exquisite portrait or Mrs.
Keppel'a lovely rose-leaf complexion and
fair hair. Mrs. Coudert is going to bring
out a book of her beauties. Writing In a
recent number of "M. A. P.," (Mainly
About People). T. P. O Conner says under
the heading, "Two American Beauties:"
"The Miss Deacons have arrived In Lon
don. for the season. Once again America
haa given of its beauty and charm to the
old world.
"Miss Gladys Deacoa made her first op
pearance in England about two years ago
and was chaperoned by Mrs. Arthur
Paget and by the duchess of Marlborough.
Her friendship with the latter dates from
1896, when she acted as one of the duchess
child bridesmaids In the rriemorable wed
ding 4n New York.. This youthful in
timacy waa maintained and Miss Deacon
formed one of a brilliant houae party a
Blenheim when the German crown prince
was tne guest of the occasion.
"Her style of beauty is fair, blue-eyed
ana raauwt; she has a rose-leaf complex
ion ana tne sweetest, or smiles. She has
beeen educated on the continent and spent
some years in a French convent. As a
consequence she is a good linguist, cosmo
polltan and thoroughly up to date.
"For a girl In 'smart' society she is a
simple dresser, wears few Jewels, and pre
lers girnsn gowns or crepe, muslin or
chiffon. Her portrait had been painted by
Whistler and by several other noted artists
in London and Paria
"The younger 11 las Deacon Is almost
beautiful as her sister, but in an entlrelv
different style. She is taller, darker, more
stately and njuch more sedate. Her school
days have been passed In Berlin.
"These two lovely Americana appeared at
Mrs. Adair's recent fancy dress ball, one
dresssed as a Greek maiden and the other
as Prlmavera.' after Botticelli's famous
picture."

PEKING. Aug. 1.-A Journalist of this
city named Ehen Chien was executed here
yesterday. According to the official re
port, he was beheaded, but this report Is
false, as , the condemned man wns really
beaten to death.
The execution occurred In the courtyard
or the Yamen or the board or punisnmeni.
The victim waa beaten with bamboo rods
for two hours, the flesh on Ms back, arms
and legs being torn to ribbons. After life
had apparently beeomo extinct the execu
tioners, fearing that Chien had merely
fainted and might revive, twisted a rope
tightly round his neck and left the body
in this condition until this morning.
No one except officials was permitted to
see them prisoner after his arrest, bis
friends being denied an Interview with him
and all Information regarding his condi
tion being withheld. The evidence at the
trial was so wenk that Chien would proba
bly have been acquitted had he not boldly
proclaimed his opinions snd expressed his
willingness to die for them. He frankly
admitted attempting to organise a rebel
lion at Hankow In 1900 and boasted that he
had always advocated the assassination of
the Manchus In order to lid the country
of the dynasty.
Despite the precautions taken by the
officials, the prisoner smuggled from his
cell a farewell message In the form of a
poem. In which he glorified reform and ex
horted hla colleagues to continue the work.
Chien was 30 years of age and had many
friends among the foreign residents of the
city, who describe hira as an educated,
high-minded gentleman. The affair has
created intense feeling In the foreign com
munity and a strong sentiment . gainst
surrendering the Shanghai reformers to

Minnesota Law Not Violated.
That my Judgment after most careful
consideration of the facts and law applic
able thereto, as construed by the highest
court, leads me to the conclusion that none
of the defendants has violated the Minne
sota anti-trust act. a conclusion apparently
contrary to that reached by the eminent
judges who, In this court, recently decided
mo cases or me united states against the
Northern Securities company, and who will
doubtless in another court review this
cause upon appeal and has necessarily
caused hesitation and careful examination.
But the rights of litigants and my own
sense or duty alike require that my own
deliberate Judgment, guided by my under
standing or authoritative expositions of the
law, be given In all causes tried before me.
To epitomize this decision: It Is held that
It would be for the Interost of the Northern
Securities company to restrain trade by
suppressing competition between these two
railroad companies; that by coercing or
persuading the two boards of directors,
whom It has the power to elect. It will cer
tainly cause them to commit highly penal
offenses by entering into combination con
tracts and arrangements In restraint of
trade, In violation of the anti-trust act, and
hence the Northern Securities company Is
already guilty of these offenses that have
never been committed or thought of by
Its officers or promoters, so far as appears,
and it must be suppressed and destroyed.
I am ct npelled to reject the doctrlno that
any person can be held to have committed,
or to be purposing and about to commit, a
highly pennl offense merely because It can
be shown that his pecuniary interests wilt
be thereby advanced and that he h'is the
power, cither directly by himsrir or In
directly through persuasion or coercion of
his agents, to compass the commission of
the offense. Decreo will be entered dis
missing tne bill.
Governor Van Bant Not Discouraged.
Governor Van Sant said concerning the
decision of . the court In the Northern Se
curities case:
I do not feel In the least discouraged by
the decision of the court today. It simply
means that the case will have to be finally
decided by the court of last resort. The
state will Immediately appeal and every
effort be mnde by Its attorney general and
his associates to protect the Interests of
the people.
The fight Is going to continue until our
laws are vindicated and upheld; until ft Is
conclusively shown that by Indirection re
sults can be accomplished which our laws
were Intended to prevent; that the crea
tions of another state cannot be used to
accomplish here that which Is against the
decl.-Vred policy of this state: that compe
tition should not be smothered; that It
shall be open, active and potential; that
dummies shall not be directors, officers and
agents to so operate the railroads of Min
nesota that our laws shall be nullified and
rendered Ineffective.
I have faith to believe that the final de
cision will be in favor of the state and that
the Northern Securities company will be
