LOUD SHOUTS OF DERIsION
Populace Anxious That a Pope
 Be Chosen.
Cardinal Herrera Reported to Be Very Ill and Others are Suffering from Their Confinement
 in the Vatican.

Rome, Aug. s.--After three full days of delberation, during which six ballots have been taken, the members of the con- clave still remain shut tip in the Vatican, without having selected successor to Leo III. The futility of both the ballots made today was evidenced by the smoke which arose, from the chimney. This mute signal this evening was watched by another large crowd which filled the street in front of St. Peters. Great dis appointment was manifested and when the little puff of smoke appeared there was loud cries. not only of d,7appoint- ment but evidence of derision.
 Rome is becoming extremely impatient over the delay in the selection of the new pope concerning which there appears to be no definite explanation owing to the rigid secrecy with which the proceedings within the conclave are conducted. Today practically the only news which came from the sistine chapel was that ot the extremely grave illness of Cardinal Her rera. It Is presumed, however. that the other Cardinals are suffering from their prolonged incarceration and the heat.
 Guard Has Been Doubled.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press visited the inside of the vatican this morning end found that all around the precincts of the conclave the guard had been doubled and wherever there is the slightest poss bility of communication with the conclave the Swiss gua rds gen darmes and pa'atina guards watched to- gether. The antagonism existing between these bodies is the best guarantee that nothing underhanded will be allowed. Be- sides, the captains of the conclave in their cooked hats, and uniforms embroidered

 Stand By Vannuteli.
 Out of all the rumors and gossip which is afioat concerning what is taking place fin the conclave. the most persistent re- port is to the effect that the Rampola and Serafino Vannuttelli factions nave remained compact and that the attempt of one faction to press forward new candidate in the hope of breaking the strength of the other had failed.
 The Italia says matters have reached point which presages the possibility or the election of a foreign Pope and that Cardinal Kopp. Bishop of Breslau, Wno is most frequently mentioned in this con- nection, has the support of the German Emperor. If this is true, the Italia in- terprets 1t as a move on the part of the Rampolla faction to win over the Austro- German cardinals from Seraflno Vannut- telli.
