Tonight'! failure to achieve an election

It is doubtful whether auch an immense

The Austrian and French ambassadors
called at the Vatican and were received by
Prince Chlgt, marshal of tha conclave.
Cardlnale Cretonl and Vaxart continue to
receive their meals from the outside. The
other cardinals who are Indisposed are re
ported to be slightly better.
Many R a mors Afloat.
There are thousands of rumors and un
verified statements afloat as to what hap
pened In the conclave today, but the only
thing which seems to be reliably known
la that, tha entire sacred college assisted
at mass, which was conducted by Father
Palmelrl, their confessor, and that the Venl
Creator was sung.
A great quantity of provisions waa sent
into the conclave today through the wicket
gate. Including 300 chickens, 6C0 new laid
eggs, many litres of milk, crate of fruit,
tc. All the provisions were thoroughly
examined before being allowed to pass
through the wicket. Forty of the chickens
were cut Open to see that they did not
contain contraband matter.
Letter and telegrams for the cardinals
were sent in to the camerlingo, who doe
aa ha .thinks best about delivering them.
Soma of tha Catholic newapper were sent
in, but no nonclerical papers.
Tha number of telegram for Herrero y
Espinosa and Langenleux, who are III, I
o great that they made a large package.
The Spanish student, who are particu
larly anxious about the condition of Cardi
nal Herrero, asked Dr. Laponnl through
tha wicket how he wa and the doctor re
plied that he wa a little better, but still
confined to his bed, and that the condition
of Cardinal Cretonl waa unchanged. Jt is
understood tha latter did not wish to par
tlclpata In the conclave, but waa almost
forced to do ao. H Is now filled with
doubts as to whether 'ha should give a
vote, being afflicted wKh a sort of mania
that ha la unworthy to interpret the divine
will by casting his vote for anyone.
Gottt Does Not "Expect Election.
Cardinal Oottl, a far aa known, I tha
only one of tha cardinals who has not
made soma sort of complaint about hi
cell. Being a monk h would consider de
mand for comfort against his Idea of
austerity. To a member of the Noble Guard
who wished him success, Cardinal Oottl

Several attempt to establish communi

several of the cardinals, which wera in

BUILDING DAMP AND UNSANITARY
Commissioner Sysaens Reeeramends
Appropriation of Slaty Theatanl
to Balls New Stables for
the President.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. l-(Speclal.)-Col-onej
Bymons, who succeeded Colonel Bing
ham as commissioner of public buildings
and grounds, haa prepared a report which
he will submit to congress urging the ne
cessity for building a new stable for the
president. The present stable is located Im
mediately south of the White House and
State department, and In addition to being
Inadequate for present requirements Is a
blot on the landscape. The horses and ve
hicles used in the transaction of executive
business and those employed by the com
missioner of public buildings as well ss
those of the president are kept in this
stable. Colonel fiymone recommends an
appropriation of W0.0C0 for building a new
stable. In his report he says:
"The stables at present in use are In
adequate and in no wise corresponding to
or commensurate with the splendid resi
dence of the president or hie stable needs,
or the variety and Importance of the busi
ness of the executive office and office of
public buildings and grounds, which are
all accommodated together. The present
stable Is a low brick structure, built many
years ago, and so near the ground as to be
damp and unhealthy for horses. . It Is sit
uated on a plot of ground which undoubt
edly in the near future will be selected as
a site for a monument to one of the na
tion's great men."
Planning Religions Censas.
Officials of the Census bureau are ar
ranging to take the census of the religious
people of the United States. The census
will be on the order of that taken in 1590.
The 1S90 cenaus of religious bodies was
carried out with unusual care and proved
of great value, but the new one will be
even more complete. It will embrace sta
tistics on the number of religious sects
and denominations, the numbers of their
members, the number of churches, seating
capacity of churches, number of rented
pews, and the income derived from them,
number of missions maintained, number
of orphans and Indigents reported, number
of ministers and their aggregate and av
erage salaries, number of publications and
their circulation, value of property owned,
etc.
A special agent who I familiar with this
particular work will be assigned to prepare
these statistic and It Is thought the work
will be completed within about six or eight
months. Great Interest Is manifested In
the work by ministers all over the country
and the bureau anticipate! but little troubli
In gathering the necessary Information.
Director North Is dally receiving letters

Plaa for Railroad Asia.
The officials here are somewhat dasad
by tha plane of those who are promoting
the traes-Alaakan-Btberlan railroad. Their
echeme Involves .a railroad to Russia with
a tunnel under the Bering straits connect
ing the United States and Siberia. The
promotere have filed an application for
the approval of the proposed route by the
secretary of the Interior. Colonel James
Hamlltoa Lewis of Chicago, former repre
sentattve In congress from the etate of
Waehlngton; Holmes Conrad, former so
licitor for the Department of Justice, and
Charko H. Aldrtcb of Chicago are the
attorneys for tha projectors. A meeting
of the representatives of the company will
be held In Paris, August 2. It Is under
stood that Colonel Lewis will sail tar
Europe on Friday next to attend ths meet
ing. Secretary Hitchcock has been asked
by the attorneys to aet a day for a beating
when agents for the company may appear
and fully explain these plana Assurance
is given that the incorporators are willing
to file a bond for the performance of the
work within the territory of the United
States In such manner as shall be re
quired by the secretary.
The petition. It Is believed. Is a fore
runner to asking the United States to
neutralise tie straits ks between nations,
so that in tie event of wsr no sdvantage
will be given the enemies of Russia. Rus
sian officers demand the latter as a condi
tion of the Russian government giving
further support to the road and further
executing the concessions of land hereto
fore granted.
Kxpenseo F.aeeed Their Par
Offlcere of the United Stnte navy who
have recently returned from the European
squadron are not at all enthusiasts over
the entertainment which they received.
Tht-ee men enjoyed themselves hugely st
the various receptions which were given in
their honor throughout Europe, and espe
cially In Germany and In England. But, on
the other hand, the return courtesies which
were absolutely essential have resulted In
depleting the pocketbooks of every officer
of the navy who was In any way a party
to the entertainment. English and German
officers are allowed a certain amount annu
ally for the entertainment of foreign
guests, but American officers must pay all
these expenses out of their own pockets,
and the drain is something terrtflo at times.
There is net an officer attached to the Eu
ropean squadron during the recent festiv
ities who has hot been compelled to give
up two-thirds of his salary for reciprocal
entertainment to foreign officers within the
past few months. To soma men those hav
ing Independent Incomes this Outlay Is not
onerous, but to the young ensign or Junior
lieutenant who must contribute his share
toward the expenses of such an entertain
ment and who has difficulty in living upon
his salary thfs extra expense Is a terrific
strain and it frequently results In keeping
ths officer poor for years.
A case In point Is that of a lieutenant of
the senior grade, drawing 12,700 a year, who
a few years .ago waa sent upon a cruise
which started In New York and ended in
San Francisco. He was gone three years,
and during the whole of that period one
half of his salary waa paid to his wife
for the support of their family, consisting
of four children, who were left behind In
Washington. Thirteen hundred and uttv
dollars a year was but a small amount with
wnicn to keep up her social status. But
It was still less for her husband, hacaiiaa
It happened that In every port visited by
win snip to which he was attache ii,i
efforts crowded him and his confreres to
the limit His mess bill ate up one-third
of his half of tha salary which he drew.
His clothing account and other small In
cidentals took another third, and the re
mainder was of course absolutely Insuffi
cient to meet the . social demands made
upon him. The result of this was that at
the end of three years this particular offl-
oer was 11.600 In debt, and yet he had
naraiy expended a dollar upon himself
aside from his mes and clothing bills.

TROUBLES 0FAN ARCHITECT
Slightest and Most Incidental Defects
Rata Chances 'of Securing
Big Avrards.
Said a well known architect of this city:
"It often happens that the very pest work
of architects is condemned because Of some
trivial detail In the preparation of his
plans, which has nothing at all to do with
the plan proper, but Is merely incident to
them. ,'
"This matter was Impressed upon me
very strongly a few years ago when I was
one of the oompetlng architects for a f SL
OW) court house in an eastern state. '--My
plans were decidedly the favorite 'of tha
board of commissioners and the price was
all right It was Just the building they
wanted and It begat) to look as If the
award was to be made to me. I had drawn
a Very elaborate perspective of the build
ing and it waa on exhibition before ; the
board. Not the slightest objection was
raised to the building nor the arrangement
of the grounds. On the other hand, they
were favorably commented upon. In the
foreground I had, in order to give some
animation to the picture, sketched a woman
riding on horseback. One of the commis
sioners in examining the picture discov
ered the fact that I had pictured the
woman as riding on the right side of the
horse and he at once condemned the pic
ture, pians ana everything else on he
ground that an architect that didn't know
that a woman always rode on the left side
Of the horse was not a safe man to Intrust
Ith building a $260,000 court house. And
he carried his point and I lost the Job.
a similar case occurred In tha raiantinn
of a $25,000 soldiers' monument In Philadel
phia a number of years ago. The monu
ment represented a soldier standing at
poraas resx.- But just before the final
acceptance of the monument an old vet
eran discovered the fact thst the flmr.
represented ths soldier as having hi gun

that the left foot was placed three Inohos
In rear of the right foot, when the reverse
