NcSCA Ohp ocAoEp hHAAcA bV nAAuy uk the Members Had chance of Election
 Belief That Foreign Cardinals VIII Ultimately Give the Deciding Votes Powers Not to Exercise Right to Vote. Rome, July 20-The greatest interest is now centered in the work of the holy conclave which is to select the successor
 of Leo XIII. Speculation, prophecies and predictions come from every direc- tion in favor of the various candidates.
 The comparatively long illness of Leo has had the effect of narrowing the
 chances oe some who entered the con-. test with what was thought to be the
 brightest prospects, while it has brought forward the prominence of others who at first were hardly considered. The re-
 suit is that they are now all on about
 the same level. It is said that there
 never has been a conclaye in which there are so many candidates who have
 fair chance of winning. Such situ- ation might lead to a struggle of much longer duration than that of 1878 when Leo was elected. That conelave lasted scarcely three days. The contest would
 be prolonged especially if after the
 early ballots the different parties whose
 exact strength could only then be estab-s lished, persist in remaining faithful to their favorites instead of joining forces with those of candidates having better
 chances. In 1878, when Plus TX died, it was evident to all that the cardinals who had the best chances of success
 were Cardinals Bilio and Pecci. The for ner would ertainly have been elected if 1 he had not made in the conclave writ ten statement declaring that he would not accept the tiara, as having compiled the Syllabus, he would be open to an attack which would have been detri- lmental to the church. Therefore, the lowed without obstacle. Now there are half dozen at least who are enter- | ing the conclave with equal chances of success. It is believed that the foreign cardinals will ultimately give the decid- | ing votes, as living far away from l Rome, where different factions form and flourish they will be more impar- tial,. especially as 1t is admitted by all that the new pope will be chosen from among the Italian candidates. For this latter reason there cannot be national rivalry among the foreigners. From a most reliable source The Associated
 Press representative learns that the considerable talk which is going the rounds to the effect that certain foreign powers might exercise the right to vote in the conclavei is unfounded. What the powers desire is not that the new pope should be friendly to any particular power, but that he should conduct the
 affairs of the papacy in a peaceful. equitable, religious manner without stirring up international strife. Indeed, ] it is supposed that the rurnor that Aus tria might attempt to exercise the right 1 of exclusion against Cardinal Rampolla
 was started by friends of the latter in l order to have him appear as persecut- ed martyr. The most prominent condi-
 dates for the succession are Cardinals
 Gotti, Oreglia, Agliardi, Serafin Vannu- l telli, Capecelatro, Sarto, Rampolla, de
 Pietro, Syampa, Satolli and Richelrny.

FINE SAILING BY sHAMRoGKs.
Challenger Covers Thirty Mile Course s5.. Under Three Hours.

Atlantic Highlands. N. J., July 2O.--. Ten miles an hour for thirty miles, .windward and leeward, was the rattling pace set by Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger in a race with Shamrock I. in the waters of the international race course off Sandy Hook lightship to-day. The challenger's exact time for thirty miles was 2.59:20, very nearly record time for a cup event and on a par with the Reliance's splendid performance off Newport in June, when the American yacht covered thirty miles in less than three hours. s,-5e .,g,,, r s@es s s". *;
 Shamrock Ills windward leg to-day was, however, not a beat to windward.

TERRIFTC HAIL STORM.
Causes Tremendous pnmage in Minne-
 sotn aud Iowa.

Luzerne. Minn.. July 20. A million dollars is the estimated damage done by a severe hailstornn which passed over the east portion of Rock county this af- ternoon. Besides being most destruc- tive the area covered by the storm is the largest ever known in the north west. It is reported at this city that the storm of hail started at Watertown, IS. D. and continued at intervals from that city to Troskey, near the north line sof Rock county. Here the storm seemed to spread out, extending east nearly to Worthington and south to Sheldon, Ia. The storm reached the most destructive stage a few miles north of the Rock county line From that point it con- tinue south with unabated fury to Els worth, distance of thirty-six miles. The area of this part of the storm was fifteen miles wide and 1s6 miles long. Over that vast area, with but few ex- Eceptions, there is not a straw reported standing. Tn this county six townships were struck by the storm. which de- Istroyed fully one-third of the crops in the county While the storm lasted less than ten minutes, between two and three inches Of hail fell. fairly beating the grain into the ground. Not a spear of grain or grass was left standing. Corn stalks were chopped off close to the ground and threes were stripped of their leaves as clean as though the sea- son was midwinter On young trees the bark was fairly peeled from their trunks. Not pane of glass remains unbroken on the sile from which the storm came while paint on buildings is practically scraped off. The crop in this county this year as whole was one of the best ever raised. No grain had been cut and farmers were preparing to cut barley this week. On about 120 sec- tions in this county the crops are re- ported destroyed.
 Sheldon, Ia, July 20. A hail storm which struck Sheldon and vicinity to- day did s100,000 damage to crops.
 Sibley, Ia, July 20. Thousands of acres of crops between here and Water town. s. D., were severely damaged by hard wind, rain and hail storm.
 Pipestone, Minn, July 20.-A destruc- tive hail storm which passed over the east half of Pipestone county to-day lowered all vegetation in a path fifteen miles wide and thirty ling. The loss cannot be estimated. B.

 Despite her splendid performance, she
