NO ELECTION OF. POPE.

Rome, August 3-The sixth ballot
for pope was taken today and was
frpitless. The conclusion is drawn
that the strength of the leading can
didste remains unbroken and that no
compromise cand idate has yet ap-
peared And there is no indication OF
how long this condition Of affairs will
continue. The prolongation of the
contest has aroused tremendous public
interest. II, indeed, it can not be-
called excitement. Every trace Of
that apathy which followed the death
of the late pope has vanished and in.
stead there now exists a burning in
terest in everything pertaining TO the
election OF his successor.
