DEADLOCK IN THE VATICAN
SIX BALLOTS WITHOUT CHOICE
 OF POPE.
Cardinals In Secret DeIibsratIon for Three Fun Days without Result Great Disappointment shown by the Waiting PopuIace-Gra Illness of Cardinal Herero. s.

Rome, Aug. 3.-After three full days of deliberation, during which six ballots have been taken, the members of the ccnclave still remain shut up in the vatican without having selected sue cessor to Leo XIII. The futility of both the ballots taken to-day was evidenced by the smoke which arose from the Sis- tine chapel. This mute signal this eve ming was watched by another large crowd which partly filled the Square of San Pietro and which 1t was estimated numbered about 15,O00
 Great disappointment was manifested and when the little puff of smoke ap- peared there were loud cries, not only of disappointment, but even of derision. Rome is becoming extremely impatient over the delay in the selection of the new pope. concerning which there ap- pears to be no definite explanation oW- ing to the rigid secrecy with which the proceedings within the conclave are be- ing guarded.
 To-day practically the only news which came from the Sistine chapel was that of the extremely grave illness of Cardinal Herrero. It is presumed, how ever, that the other aged cardinals are also suffering from their prolonged in- carceration and the intense heat. Among the ambassadors and ecclesias- tics there exists a general opinion that. if only for the sake of relieving the aged cardinals, much may be sacrificed within the conclave to arrive at 9 speedy conclusion. On the other hand, H., enough to believe that the hostility among the factions in the sacred college is so bitter that the struggle may be continued for several weeks. This view, however, finds little credence.
 Out of all the rumors and gossip which is af1oat concerning what is hap pening in the conclave the most per- sistent report is to effect that the Ranl- polla and Serafino Vanutelli factions have remained compact and that the attempt of one faction to press forward a new candidate in the hope of break ing the strength of the other has failed. The Italia says that matters have reached aipofnt which presages the pos- sibility of the election of a foreign pope, and that Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Breslau, who is most frequently mem tioned in this connection has the sup port of the German emperor. If this is true, the Italia interprets it as a move on the part of the Rampolla faction to win over the Austro-G German cardinals from Serafino Vannutelli
 The Observatore Romano, the organ of the vatican. officially announces that Cardinal Herrrero y Espinosa, being grayely i'll, has received the last com munion. Monsignor Boniface Marin, the vicar general of his archdiocese, (Valencia) was admitted to the con- clave to-day. the door being opened for that purpose with all the prescribed precautions.
