Rome. July 31-The Vatican is the
scene of great activity both inside and
outside. Within the last preparations
are making for the conclave. and ev-
erything is in the utmost confusion.
WOrkmen and servants are hurrying
hither and thither. some hanging cur
tains, others putting in extra furniture,
while pOrterS are staggering along un-
der immense trunks as if some of the
cardinals expected TO remain in their
cells for months Other cardinals sent
practically nothing. In the Sistine
chapel work went on throughout the
night. The catafalaque erected for
the funeral services was pulled down.

doors of the conclave are closed. No
one candidate stands out prominently.
as did Count Pecci in the conclave of
1878. and the discussion here is not so
much concerning the superior qualities
of the candidates as of the strength
with which they are credited.
Advice Left by Pope Leo.
The Italia says that the "constitu-
ton" left by Pope Leo to the con-
clave has been distributed among the
cardinals. According to this authority
it was written in Latin in 1882, and
beginning with the words "Pracdeces-
sores noStri' recalls former cOnStitu-
tions and conclaves. especially that of
Plus TX, and then complains of the
condition Of the holy see under hostile
domination" and recommends the
quick election of n new pope. 1t en-
joins the election of new pope, not
according to the personal preferences
of the cardinals. but according to the
dictation of their oOnsciences. inspired
only by the welfare of the church.
OreRIia Explains COncIavs Work.
During the meeting of the congrega-
ton of the cardinals the camerlengo
read an autograph letter from Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, which add
ed renewed condolences on the death
of Leo. and expressed thehOpe that the
sacred college would be inspired by
the great interests of the church in
choosing his successor. The letter pro-
duced strong impression. and it was
decided to answer it with special
message. Subsequently Cardinal Greg
ia explained how the work of the
cOncIave was to be carried on, recall
ing the principal rules which were to
govern the body and recommending
their strict observance.

His Life Is Not a Happy One.

Quite Il number of cOlOred boys have
received appointments to West Point
academy. and in several instances they
have passed the entrance eXamina'
tions; but Young is the only one who
has been graduated. The others were
dropped for one reason and another.
From all accounts the life of a col
ored boy who attempts to go against
the race prejudice at West Point is
about as hard as anything he will en-
counter in the field. And. to make it
harder, he gets little sympathy or en-
cOUragement from the officers and in
structors in charge of the academy.

Washington, July 31.-'The acquisi-
