SUNDAYS VOTING.
Second Day of the Balloting for Sue
cessor to Leo III.

Rome. Aug. 3-F'roEn the smoke which
issued from the little chimney of the
Sistine chapel last night, a vast multi
tude gathered around st. Peters, learn
ed that the second day of the conclave
had been fruit1ess. The conclusion was
drawn that the strength of the leading
candidate remains unbroken and that
no compromise candidate has yet ap-
peared. Every trace of that apathy
which followed the death of the late
pope has vanished and instead there
now exists a burning interest in every
thing pertaining to the election of his
successor
This eliminated last night in the ap-
pearance of a great crowd which pack
ed the great square of st. Peters.
The scene at ST. Peters was by far
the most impressive that has occurred
in Rome since the late pope became ILL.,
After the fruitleSS morning ballot, a
belief spread that a new pontiff would
surely be elected last evening. Carriages
and vehicles of every description ratified
into the plaza of st. Peters. The reg
ular Sunday leisure was forgotten in
the anxiety to see the new Holy See.
The streets converging into st. Peters
plaza were black with the thousands
who entered the square. From the bar
racks came large reinforcementS of
troops. who marched across the piazza
and lined up at the foot of the steps of
the basilica, leaving only small space
between the companies in order to pre-
vent a sudden rush to get inside st.
Peters to witness the new pope give his
blessing to the Catholic world
A strong force of cavalry was picket
ed nearby in case of riot and more than
1000 soldiers were posted in the square.
But the troops made only an ipsignifi
cant, thin. blue line compared with the
vast multitude around them. BY 5
o'clock it was estimated that $4,000 peo-
pie occupied the vast amphitheater.
The rays of the setting sun glancing
from the dome of st. Peters lit up the

A great quantity of provisions was
sent into the cOnclave through the wick
ct gate, including 300 chickens 500 newly
laid eggs, many liters of milk, crates of
fruit, etc. All the provisions were thor
oughly examined before being allowed
to pass through the wicket. Forty of
the chickens were cut open to see that
they did not contain contraband mat
ter.
Letters and kilograms for the cardi-
mails were sent in to the camerlengo,
who does as he thinks best about de-
livering them. Some of the Catholic
non-clerical papers.
The number of kilograms for Cardi-
nails Herrero Y Espinosa and Lange-
nieux who are ILL., was so great that
they made a large package.
The Spanish students. who are anx-
ious about the condition of Cardinal
Herrero, asked DR.. Laponni through the
wicket how he was. and the doctor re-
piled that he was a little better. but
still confined to his bed, and that the
condition of Cardinal Cretoni was un-
changed. The cardinal is now filed
with doubts as to whether he should
give a vote. being afflicted with a sort
of mania that he is unworthy to in
terpret the Divine will by casting his
vote for anvone-
Cardinal Gotti, as far as known. is
the only one of the cardinals who has

but their wounds are not serious.
The accident happened opposite the
Clelland factory. The freight had or
ders to get to the lap track west of the
CleIland factory and let the passengers
by. A broken drawbar caused six min
utes delay. The engineer sent the brake
man ahead to flag the passenger. The
freight stopped at the Washington street
crossing. but soon followed the fiagman.
There was heavy fog. making it i'm
possible to see fifty feet ahead. oD-
posite the Clelland factory the flagman
saw the passenger coming at full speed
He had Just time to give shout and
lump for safety. Both engines were
reversed when they met. but the mo-
mentum was not checked to any extent.
! The passenger train consisted of six
cars. There were two baggage and ex-
press cars, a smoker, d ladies' coach,
the Pullman sleeper Woodland and a
/ tourist sleeper. The second baggage
car telescoped the smoker, tearing
through half it's length.
The shock threw many people from
/ their seats. The passengers from the
! other cars rushed to the aid of those in
the front of the smoker but it was near
| ly an hour and a half after the accident
/ before the last one was taken from the
| wreck of the smoker.

At the conclusion of Governor Bailey's
speech the crowd called for Mr.. Howe
and he finally appeared upon the band
stand and was introduced by Governor
Bailey. Howe never made a speech of as
much as five minutes in his life and the
crowd wondered what was coming.
With his hands hanging Imply at his
Sides the Atchison editor said:
Ladies and gentlemen: l am very
fond of Atchison people, of Governor
Bailey and of Ellery's band. They are
all present"
Then he stepped back into the crowd
in confusion and the concert continued.
The newspaper profession of eastern
Kansas and western Missouri was well
represented at the picnic, there being
newspaper men present from Kansas
City, Leavenworth, st. Joseph, Topeka,
Wichita and number of smaller towns
in Kansas and Missouri. Congressman
and Mrs. Victor Murdoch were pres
ent as the special guest of Mr.. Howe,
as were Governor Bailey and Mrs
Bailey and Frank P. MacLennan and
Mrs MacLennan of Topeka.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
concert Mr. Howe entertained his news
paper friends and other invited guests
at a lunch on the park lawn.

{. W. HOWE ENTERTAINS
At Least $4,000 at Atchison
Globes Unique Celebration.

AtchisOn, Kan, Aug. 3.-Fifteen thou
sand people attended the picnic given
at Forest park Sunday and Sunday
night by E. w. Howe to celebrate the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the Atchi-
osn Daily Globe The different rail-
roads granted a rate of fare and a
third for the picnic from all points with
in radius of a hundred miles, and as
a result several thousand of those in
attendance were from out of the city.
The picnic was a success in every
way. To entertain his guests Editor
Howe had Ellery's Italian band at the
park for two concerts. Mr. Howe is an
ardent lover of brass band music and
the numbers on the programme of each
concert were selected by him. The big
band was forced to respond to many en-
cores. Governor Bailey was TO have
spoken during the afternoon but he
was delayed in reaching the city. He
spoke during the intermission of the
evening concert on Good Citizenship :"
His talk was mainly directed to the
young people. Only once did Governor
Bailey drift into politics during his dis
course and that was when he said,
Don't turn to your relatives for aid
when you meet with reverses; don't
turn to the state for help in times of
calamity. The people should support
