when assured that the new Pope would
appear. The minutes dragged slowly I'M
Ill after o'clock, and the delay in the
signal again excited hopes that an cleo
ton had been achieved, Half an hour
later than when last evenings signal was
given no smoke had appeared and the
belief became general that an accession or
supplementary ballot was in progress and
that presently the doors Of the central
Ioggia Of the Basilica would open for q
prelate to appear with the official tidings
that a new Pontiff had been elected.
The crowd began to move toward the
9hurch when, at 6:38 clock. pun OF white
smoke again streamed from the black pipe.
There was q murmur for a moment, and
hen as tho cloud OF smoke grew somewhat
denser than heretofore there was an ex-
camation Of disappointment and slowly
the great concourse dispersed. A few
thousands remained for half an hour
thinking that the signal might have been
inconclusivo. but they soon learned that
the Conolave seals were unbroken.
Those intimately acquainted with the
ptuation when the Conclave met, but pos
eessing no later information, infer that the
four resultless ballots signify the disap-
