HUNDREDS OF ARMED MEN ARE SECURING COUNTRY FOR Es- CAPPED CONNECTS IN cALlFoR- NIA-No TRACEs FOUND.

P1acerville, Cal, July sO.-Although hundreds of heavily armed men are now engaged in the search for the twelve sur viving prisoners who escaped from the Folsom penitentiary on Monday, the out laws remain masters of the situation. They have succeeded in eluding their pur- suers and the ultimate escape of at least some of the men seems highly probable
 Since the fatal fight at Pilot Hill on Monday night, in which one of the con- victs was killed, the others have not been seen, unless the story of William Green, a cowboy. who says he met two armed men in Placer county today and afterwards identified them by photographs as a couple of the outlaws. proves to be true.
 J. W. Woods. the leader of the escaped convicts, Is said by the prison officials at Folsom to have been an enlisted man with the regular army in the Philippines. According to their story he deserted and led the F1lipinos in their guerrilla warfare.

RAMPOLLA HAS BEST
 CHANCEFOR ELECTION
DRIGGS PLEADS NOT
 GUILTY TO CHARGES
APPEARS IN U. s. CIRCUIT COURT IN BROOKLYN BEFORE JUDGE THoMAs-RAlL- OF s5ooo CON- TlNuED.

New York, July 30.-Former Congress- man Driggs appeared today before Judge Thomas in the United States Circuit court. Brooklyn. and plead not guilty to two indictments which were recently found against him, with leave to with draw his plea and to demur One indict- ment was found by the federal grand Jury in June and the other by the fed- eral grand jury in July MT. Driggs had previously pleaded to five indictments which the June grand jury found against him, and bail in the cases was fixed at s5oOo. which he furnished. That bail was continued today. The last indictment found against Driggs is the seventh and brings in the name of George W. Beav- CTS. now under indictment for alleged bribe taking, and wanted by the federal authorities.
 The indictment says that the Brandt Dent company, manufacturers and sell- CTS of automatic cashiers, sold such ma chimes for s125 each. which was all the machines were reasonably worth. There are other allegations in the indictments that George F. Miller, at that time an agent of the corporation, "contriving and intending to cheat and defraud the Uni ted States by unlawful1y inducing and procuring George W. Beavers. an of- ficer of the postoffiee department. to secure from the government a contract for the sale of cash machines did thus effect the sale of large number of said machines at a cost of S150 each.

Cardinals Believe That He VIII Command a Majority of
 Votes in the COncIaVe
+ RAMPOLLA FAILS GOTH
 COMES NEXT IN ORDER
pI PIetro Is Also Strong PossibTITg7 In contest-Eleetion of New Pope May Occur at Halloting Sat
 urday Afternoon.

Rome, July 30.-Those who know the sacred college best hold it certain that Cardinal Rampona will command the largest number of votes on the first bal lot. His strength 1t is believed will be about 25 woes. but even with this large number to start with 1t Is thought he will have difficulty in making headway. His strongest opponents now appear to be Cardinals Serahno Vannuttelli, with about twelve votes; Gotti. with ten, and Oreglia, with eight The remainder of the votes will be scattered among tho lesser candidates more as a mark of personal favor. than with much idea of ultimate success.
 As forty-two votes (two-thirds) ara necessary to elect. the first ballot will be immediately followed by a second. called an accesslt, or supplementary vote; that is, each cardinal choosing If he wishes a fresh candidate, but one who has already been voted for It is thought very unlike ly considering the widely scattered char acter of the voting which will occur on the first ballot, that any candidate will receive the prescribed two-thirds in tha first accessit. If Rampolla's vote is not augmented to enough to elect, 1t is be- lieved that he will be obliged to throw his strength to some member of his party. and In such an event Gotti and Di Pietro are most frequently mentioned. The latter as we'll as Oreglia, however, have repeatedly declared that they do not covet the election.
 If, in the aeeessit vote Saturday morning Rampolla's forces or those of one of his party are considerably augmented, it is believed the 'eection of the new pope might occur at the balloting Saturday afternoon or almost surely in those to be taken on Sunday. If however there are no decided breaks in the accessit vote, the contest may be prolonged until the leaders. finding their own success im- probable, to come to some agreement among themselves on a neutral candidate. among whom Cardinal Riehelmy, arch- bishops of Turin, and Cardinal Bacileri. bishop of Verona, are most frequently mentioned.
 Most of the diplomats accredited to the vatican are of the opinion that if Ram polla does not succeed Gotti will be elected.
