FRENCH HOUSE GOWN FROM nARpER's BAZAAR

views the situation and draws the con-
clusion that though delicate IL is by no
means alarming. IL argues that Ameri-
ca, In order TO engage in a war with
Spain over the Cuban question, would
have 10 depart from all her traditions
customs and habits. and take up the role
of fin dc steele European power. Re-
calling that Mr.. Cleveland fixed, more
or less explicitly, two years as the period
OF non-intervention. the article points
out that the war has already lasted
three years without American interven-
tion, and that consequently, in the eyes
of Europe and of the whole world, the
opportunity has finally passed for the
Interference of the United States.
Moreover The Epoca thinks that the
amour propre Of America will be salts
fed by the grant Of autonomy. for, much
as Spaniards may lament IL, it was un-
doubtedly the pressure put upon Spain
by the United States that induced the
Spanish government To go so far on the
path OF concession. The article con-
cludes by foreseeing the possibility OF
fresh alarms being started from various
motives, but urges the public to keep
calm, as there is no real danger of a
rupture.

there is no choice they retire for breakfast
In discussion, possibly electioneering, ex-
ercise and other ways they pass the time
until o'clock in the afternoon, when an
other ballot is taken, and if without result
they dine and pass the afternoon as best
they can, all retiring at dark TO await the
next days events.
There are four acknowledged methods of
electing Pope: l. BY inspiration. 2. By
compromise. 8. BY scrutiny or ballot. 4.
By access. Popes have often been elected
by inspiration. When upon entering the
conclave one candidate is obviously the
choice either of the entire body or a ma
jority some one viva voce proposes his
name, the other cardinals accept and the
inspiration of the act is recognized. By
the compromise method the cardinals, find
ing it impossible to agree upon a choice,
leave to one of their own number the task
of nominating the Pope.
The system of balloting, which has been
in vogue in the conclave for several hun
dreds of years, is a curious premonition of
the Australian system. Sheets of paper
are carefully folded so that when opened
by the tellers the latter see nothing but
the name of the candidate who has been
voted for, while in one of the folds is re-
corded also the name of the cardinal vot-
ing. When ballot is to be taken these
sheets are distributed by the attendants
among the princes of the church, each re-
cords his vote, and, in the folded corner,
his name or initials, the latter being done
for the sake of identifying the ballot in
case any controversy should arise as 10
the number of votes or their validity then
advances to the altar kneels, repeats a
prayer and in the sacred challce deposits
his ballot. All must vote, otherwise there
is no election, and there is tradition that
on one occasion in the last century a car
dinal, wise in his generation, prevented
the election of a rival by concealing his
ballot in his sleeve instead of depositing it
in the chalice. When the ballots were
counted, of course, there was one short
and no election, and before another ballot
was taken the tricky cardinal had won
over enough votes TO his own side TO insure
success. After the ballots have all been
deposited in the chalice three cardinals
are appointed tellers, who open the sheets.
read and record the names of the candi-
dates voted for and announce the result
If no election has been attained the bal
lots are burned together with the record
of the vote made by the tellers This part
of the procedure is so we'll understood in
Rome that as soon as the cardinals are
locked up in conclave a particular chin
ney in the vatican is watched, and when
smoke is seen ascending from it everybody
knows that an unsuccessful ballot has been
taken.
When ballot Is successful the new Pope
is attired In the vestments of his office and
escorted to the vatican, where he occu-
pies the apartments just vacated by his
predecessor. His name is chosen and a
cardinal selected for the purpose hastens
to'a balcony facing the public square out
side the vatican and there announces to the
great assemblage in waiting the name OF
the new pope.

Col. Wood, the commander of the cow

some point In the West He stated be-
fore leaving the war department that the
whole quota of his regiment had been
made up and that his visit to the West
was simply to effect a complete organiza-

Applications for enlistment in the

has been necessary to refuse nearly 10000
men.
Col. Wood and Mr.. Roosevelt have ex-
ercised the utmost care in making their
selections, and the regiment now gives
promise of being one of the finest fighting
organizations in the United States A
strong movement is under way to form
other regiments of similar character
which will be provided for by a special bill
in Congress.
Col. Wood assures me that as soon as his
men have been perfectly organized they
will go immediately to Cuba and act under
orders independent of those of the regular

Wood and Mr.. Roosevelt to see all the
fighting, and to always have their men at

CrocodiIes Fooled a Lion Hunter

Arthur c. Humbert, in Harper's
We walked carefully towards the next
carcass, in the meantime sending one of
the boys toward the lagoon to climb a tree
so as to enable him to look over the ton of
the grass On his return he reported that
he could see nothing
We came to the conclusion that we had
arrived too late, yet we approached the
next buffalo, stalking very carefully This
had been COW, and there lay its head on
the ground, but nothing else, not even a
bone or a hoof. The lions had even nulIed
out the tongue, which, by-the-by. Is one
of their tidbits. We next turned toward
the lagoon, where 1 had shot a voun J.
bull. Walking among the trees close to
the waters edge we could see here and
there the enormous spoons Of the lions. We
advanced with great caution. as we ala
not know what we might find, until We
came upon the third carcass. This bul1
had dropped in among the trees nor NOR
than twenty feet from the waters edge
There lay the carcass in plain sight. The
hind and fore quarters, with the head
were untouched; but the paunch and its
contents had been torn out. and the ribs
had been bitten off, some close IN 10 the
spine.

and hyenas, or whatever animals have
been feeding on this buffalo have. u,Ieer

meat. This beats me" Leaning close 10
the ground, the old hunter showed me the

close to the lagoon to examine more care
