 TROUBLE IS FEARED
NEGRO WOMAN WAS WHIPPED FOR INSULTING WHITE WOMAN DURING HER HUSBANDS AB- sENcE-NEGRoEs FINGERED.

Roanoke, Va. July 27.-Serious trouble is threatened between the whites and blacks near Blue Ridge. Several nights ago negro woman was whipped by party of white men for insulting a lady during the absence of her husband.
 This angered the negroes so that they have been armed. A telephone message tonight says the whites are armed and considerable excitement exists.
 the occasion to pass without again pro testing against the occupation of 'pontih- cal territory by Italy, thus showing that the papacy is determined to maintain It's claims unabated. Others said they thought that such course would not add any force to the many protests of the same kind already made, while it might interfere with the policy which the future pope may desire to follow and added that the best thing to do was to leave the successor of Leo XIII entirely free to choose the course which he may consider best for the good of the faithful and the general interests of the church. No decision on the subject was arrived at. If the cardinals determine to send the note 1t probably will be delivered to the diplomatic body on Thursday.
 Gibbons Warmly Received.
 At today's meeting of the congregation fifty-two cardinals were present, and alt noticed the exceptionally cordial reception accorded to Cardinal Gibbons. who was visbly touched by 1t. He thanked all his colleagues and embraced Cardinal Sa- tolli The American cardinal has given no indication of his predilection in re- gard to the election of the new pope, and has refused to see any newspaper men. Cardinal Ciricao Maria Sancha Y Her vas, the archbishop of Toledo, delivered short address to his cardinals in present. ing the condolence of the royal family of Spain. He said the Spanish people re- member with affection the predilection of Leo XIII for Spain and the help their country received during different mo- ments from the defunct pontiff, who, be- ing the godfather of King Alfonso, was considered by all Spaniards as a beloved father, who watched their destiny. Car dinal Oreglia, thanked the Spanish car dnals in the name of the Sacred college, making him interpreter of the satisfac- ton which the cardinals felt over the noble words and high sentiments which he had expressed.
 Cardinals Have Suite of Rooms.
 Each of the cardinals, during the con clave will have suite of apartments, comprising four rooms. made up of three bed rooms, one for the cardinal, one for his conclavist and the third for a ser want. The fourth room will be used as salon, or dining room according to class. Cardinal Oreglia read a letter from Car dinal Langenieux, archbishop of Rheims, who being very i'll, asked for apartments on the second floor. near the Sistine chapel. in order to avoid the stairs. similar request for similar reason was made by Cardinal Mocceni, bishop of Sa- bina Both requests were granted. Sew eraI of the cardinals proposed, in view of the extreme heat, to celebrate mass dur ing the conclaye in the Pauline chapel early enough every morning to complete the morning balloting in the Sistlne chapel by Il o'clock. This proposition was agreed to. The cardinals however, if they desire may celebrate in their own cells. for which purpose small portable wood altars have been constructed.
 The representative of the Associated Press was permitted to see the cell which Cardinal Gibbons wifi occupy during the conclave.
 Cardinal Gibbons Gets No. 5.
 When the lots for apartments were drawn the American cardinal drew No. 5, the modest apartment of Commentators Puccinelli the master of the house. It is a few steps up from the ground floor on the left of the noble staircase entering from the San Damosa. The bedroom of the cardinal Is decorated with paper of an ordinary yelowish gray, and 1t contains a small black iron bed. a marble top dressing table. a small writing desk, an arm chair an iron clothes stand, little. high, movable mirror framed in iron and wood and a prie die at the side of the bed over the bed hangs a picture of a Madonna. Adjoining this Is the room of the conclavist, which Is smaller, with about the same furniture, except that the chairs are more simple, with cane bot toms. and with a mirror and clothes peg attached to the walls. A small room, with camp bed. is for the use of the servant. The fourth room will be of little use, as 1t is without window The apart ment Is lighted with electricity. It will probably be very warm, as 1t has full southern exposure. The bedroom of the cardinal measures only fourteen by eleven feet.
