UNCLE SAM WINS OUT
MANcHURIAN QUESTION IS SET.
TIED SATISFACTORILY.
Chinese Government Agrees to Open
Several Ports Now Closed to the
Worlds Trade.

The Manchurian question has been
settled satisfactorily to this govern
ment. Assurances have been received
from the Chinese government that 1t
will in the near future open. as treaty
ports, several ports now closed to the
worlds trade. The Russian govern
ment has conveyed formal assurance
to the United States government that
Il will not in any way oppose such
opening.
The ports to be opened are not yet
specified, but 1t is supposed they are
Moukden, the principal port of Man
churia, and Ia Tung Kao, at the
mouth of the Yalu river.
The state department is highly graf
fled at this outcome, feeling that it
has secured not only for American
commerce, but for the commerce of
the world at large, very substantial
gains.

Woman Dies on the ScaffoId.

Dora Wright was hanged at South
McAlister, |. T. She mounted the
scaffold without a tremor. Dora
Wright, the first woman ever hanged
in that section, was convicted OF
whipping a 7-year-old girl Annie Will
liams, until she died of her injuries.
The evidence showed that the little
girl had been beaten severely for
many months as there were old scars
on her. Some of these indicated that
the little girl had been tortured with
a red hot poker. Both the woman
and the girl were negroes.

ELECTION OF A POPE.
Cardinals Locked UP In Their Calls
While Voting.

On the eleventh day following the
death of the pope the cardinals hold
religious services in the church Of st.
Peter at Rome and then adjourn to
the vatican, where they meet In con-
clave' to elect the late pope's success
sor. The cardinal-dean opens the pro-
ceedings by administering the oath OF
secrecy concerning their proceedings,
and then the cardinals are permitted
to receive their friends until evening,
when they are shut up in their cells.
These cells are carefully guarded and
no person is allowed near them, except
they be on business connected directly
with the conclave, in order that no
intruder may communicate with the
occupants or obtain information which

might be of value to the outside world
or to persons interested in swaying
the action of the cardinals.
In the morning the cardinal-dean
sings the mass of the Holy Ghost, at
which all the cardinals receive COM
munion, after which the voting begins.
Each cardinal approaches the altar,
and after taking an oath prescribed
for the ceremony, places his ballot in
receptacle prepared for it. Three
cardinals who act as tellers count the
ballots when all have been deposited
two-thirds vote is necessary to elect
the pope. and, If choice is not made
on the first ballot, the cardinals con-
tinue to vote until candidate re-
ceives the requisite number, but only
one ballot is taken in one day. Upon
the announcement that no candidate
has been elected, the cardinals return
to their cells until the following morn
ing, when another ballot Is taken.
Thus the election may be prolonged
many days. or it may be decided in
single sitting.
When 1t is found that an election
has been obtained the cardinal-dean
announces the name of the successful
candidate, the junior cardinal-deacon
rings a bell, and the master of cere-
monies enters the chapel with the
secretary. The cardinal-dean and two
cardinals approach the successful one
and ask him If he accepts the great Of
fee. and upon his signifying that he
does accept it, all canopies except that
over his seat are removed. The new
pope then announces to the cardinal
dean the name which he has selected
and he is then led behind the altar,
where he dons the pontifical robes in
preparation for his reception Of the
cardinals. The ring or the Fisherman
is then placed upon his finger, after
which the senior cardinal-deacon, fol-
lowed by musicians and singers, pro-
