CONCLAVE CONTINUES
Selection Of Successor to Leo

Than on First Day.

May Continue Struggle for Weeks.

Rome, Aug. AFTER three full days
lots have been taken. the members OF
the conclave still remain shut up in
the vatican without having selected a
successor to Leo XIII. The futility of
both the ballots taken was evidenced
by the smoke which arose from the
sistine chapel. This mute signal was
watched by another large crowd which
partly filed the square of San Pietro
and which 1t was estimated numbered
about $4,000. Great disappointment
was manifested and when the little
ruff of smoke appeared there were
loud cries, not only of disappointment,
but even of derision.

finds little credence.
Possibility of Foreign Pope.
Out Of all the rumors and gossip
which is afoat concerning what is
Transporting in the eonclave the most
persistent report is to the effect that
the Rampolla and Serafine Vannutelli
factions have remained compact and
that the attempt of one faction to
press forward a new candidate in the
hope of breaking the strength of the
other had failed.
The Italia says that matters have
reached a point which presages the
possibility of the election of foreign
pope and that Cardinal Kopp, bishop
of Breslau, who is most frequently
mentioned in this connection, has the
support Of the German emperor If
this is true the Italia interprets it as
a move on the part of the Rampolla
faction to win over the Austro-German
cardinals from Serafino Vannutelli
