and a half hours.
Cardinal MartlnelH, who was charged 70

a minute and detailed report about the
different candidates. Information re-
ceived showed that DR.. Farley was quail

archbishops of the United States.
After a discussion, in which all the
cardinals participated, Cardinal Gott

tha's Vineyard and Elizabeth island.
OF course the seizure and destruction
OF telegraphic and cable facilities were
flgurative, and IL required the decision
OF an umpire to make plain whether or
not the point attempted by Admiral
Higginson had been won. As the land
ing was made, the telegraph and tele-
phone Office were entered by sufficient
force to have destroyed the property, or
at least the instruments; at the same
time q boats crew had located the
cable with graphing hooks and had
held II a sufficient period to have al
lowed for the cutting of them, there
seemed TO have been no question but
that the move had been entirely sue
ceSsful.
The Olympia appeared of this port
