saying the cardinal drops his ballot
into the chalice, bows Lefore altar, and
returns to his place.
The balloting took very long time,
as many of the cardinals, owing to
their advanced age aud illness, moved
slowly and We're obliged to have the
assistance of their colleagues. After
the balloting is finished the chalice is
covered, well shaken and the ballots
counted. Then, passing them into n
receptacle placed on the table in center
Of the chapel the two cardinal scrutin-

tinals note the votes on printed list
of names with which each is provided.
After that. If there is no election, the
ballots are burned.

Cardinal Gotti. to member of the
noble guard who wished him success,
merely replied: THANK you. but l
Shall not be made pope" There are
thousands of rumors and unvelified
statements atioat as to what happened
In the conclave, but the only things
which seems to be reliably known is
that the entire sacred college assisted
at mass, which was conducted by E'a-
ther Pulmieri, the confessor. and that
the Neni Creator was sung. One per-
sistent rumor is that Rampolla leads
any other cardinal In the voting but
has many too few votes to elect.
The process of voting is as follows:
The ballot is folded In n certain way,
and then sealed There is no distin-
guishihg mark. Each cardinal, in turn,
holding his ballot between his first
finger and thumb, SO that every one
present can see 1t, advances slowly
to the altar, where large chalice is
standing. kneels and prays briefly for
guidance. Then. rising. he takes the
following oath: Il call God to wit
