Then silence foil Ilka a spell upon tha thousands who waited, aa from tha smoke tack on the Slstlne chapel a thin atream Of laiy blue amoka curled downward, and gradually dlaappeared. For a moment tha crowd bettered that tha signal meant an election, for thera la a tradition that tha cardinal! are allowed to aend up a little amoka aa a notification of an election and much amoka In tha cane of a disagree ment Any such hopee, however, wera almost Immediately dissipated when a cloud of very thick amoka emerged and continued for ftva minutes. With many ejaculation vf disappointment tha popu lace watched tha last traca of tha ballots disappear and then dispersed, although It waa a long; time before the square of tha basilica resumed ita normally quiet ap pearance. ' Tonight'! failure to achieve an election waa a great disappointment to Rome, and It is doubtful whether auch an immense crowd will again assemble unless the con clave should continue until another Bun day. Tha mute aignal showing that tha ballot had been fruitless In the morning had been aeen by many thousands, ; too, but tha watchers in the morning, on ao count of the Intense heat of the aun, wera compelled to shelter themselves behind the collonade.

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.

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 merely replied:' "Thank, you, but I shall , not b made pope." v." :i i- Frlnce Chlgl, the marshal of the conclave, ta rather disconcerted because he ha no electrical device. whereby he can be noti fied from; within tha moment tha new pope I elected:?

Several attempt to establish communi cation with the conclave have been discov ered In time and thera have been some auspicious light - wiving in the cell of several of the cardinals, which wera in terpreted aa signals. These wera immedi ately reported tc tha camerlingo by tha marshal, and extra precautions were taken to prevent a repetition of tha signals.

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 from ministers asking for the plans of the cenaus, making suggestions, or offering as- j elstance. , . I Philippines Meed Mala Stenographers. TTnxi.

If Mao Arthur should be made lieutenant general on the retirement of Chaffee, he would continue In the service for three months after tha term of the next president ex pires.

This consideration, therefore, does not enter into the problem as to what will be done by President Roosevelt, If elected next year, when required to select a major general to fill the lieutenant generalship when Chaffee retires In 190S. 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.

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 tnvuncn , me ngnt across his breast and that the left foot was placed three Inohos In rear of the right foot, when the reverse should have been the order. THIRTY-FOUR NEW GENEJRALS Promotions Are Rnmerons Iaeleent to ,tho Retirement of Miles and DatIs.

The sdvaneement of Brigadier General Samuel S. Sumner to the rank of major general was followed by the promotion of Colonel John H Page of the Third United States Infantry. The colonels selected for promotion and im mediate retirement will be advanced In succession according to their standing on me uneai jisu One will be promoted and retired every day until August I, when Lieutenant General Miles will be trans ferred from the active to the retired list.
