WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG, 5, 1908.

THE ELECTION of Cardinal Sarto To
succeed Leo XIII. seems to have gwen
general satisfaction throughout the
world. and expressions of approval are
coming from every quarter. 1t IS be-
Iieved that the conclave has done well
from higher points of view. II mas
chosen that man whom probably the
considerable majority of informed and
;,nnartial observers would declare to be
on the whole the best qualified to MI the
place of the late pontif and his pre-
decessors. Plus X. is, Of course an
Italian. 1t was a foregone conclusion
that an Italian would be chosen, ana no
one was surprised to hear that the new
pone was from the land OF the Caesars.
He is sixty-eight years old, but ap-
parently still in the prime OF his IN
tellectual and physical powers. lie was
n cardinal-bishop and has been Patriarch
of Venice for ten years. In that place
he has been eminently successful. The
church has greatly prosPered under his
direction. and he enjoyed the unchal'
lenged reputation of being an ideal
bishop. He is also fine scholar, an
oIoo,ort ORATOR and n man much
esteemed by Protestants as yell a

Bloody Conflict.

Johnstown, Pa, August 5.-In a
dark heading of Berwind mine, No. 30,
at Windber, yesterday morning, Stephen
Mock and another man, whose name is
unknown to the police, fought terrible
battle with knives. The heading in
which the affray took place in some dis
lance away from where other miners
were working, and not until the unknown
had succeeded in getting the better OF
Mock, and had fed, did the other men
know anything of it. Mock's right ear
was cut of, his abdomen badly slashed,
and his head cut open in several places;
After the fight the unknown man fled
from the mine through an abandoned
working. Although the police do not
know the name of the escaped man, it
is said that he had been boarding at
Mock's house, and that he had forced
his attentions on the wife of Mock. The
injured man will die.

THE CONCLAvE.

have been expected to decide so welghty,
a matter by such lengthy method OF
procedure within shorter time. NO
doubt, the appearance of the smoke was
irritating to those who looked for
speedy conclusion, although, personally,
| | am surprised to know that the smoke
was seen at all. Looking into the little
stove in the Sistine Chapel, and
seeing the diminutive heap which the
ballots made, one could scarcely think
that they would form, when burned,
cloud as big as mans hand.
Today, of course, there was no smoke,
as ali the ballots were sealed for preser-
walton. After each morning session we
had dinner. During the afternoon most
of us read in our rooms. varied my

S where such fine point had to be decid-

4 for him to say who, next to Sarto, had
, come nearest to being Pope. Regarding
g the veto power supposed to be vested in
Austria, Spain and Italy, this cardinal
said that no attempt had been made to
exercise such a power, apd that the

bred farmers here are up in arms over an
attempted felonious assault upon Mrs.
Theodore Ruth, wife of farmer living

Henry Pitts, the colored farm hand.

fore Magistrate Hollis this morning, her
husband went to Wilmington yesterday

bottles of beer with him of which he and
Pitts imbibed. Knowing that his wife

CIVIC FEDERATION AND WORKING
PEoPLE.-Senator Hanna, in an adj
dress devoted to an explanation of the
purpose of the Civic Federation, ofwhich
he is chairman, delivered before the
members of the Cleveland Builders Ex-
change yesterday, said in part:
"Since the organization of the Civic
Federation the working people have
been prosperous as never before, and so
has the employer. The wage-earners,
however, thought to themselves, care
we getting our share of this prosperity
must admit that in many cases they
we're not. We aim to remedy that con-
dition. Where there is difference of
opinion between labor and capital we
try to bring them together. The fedora
ton does not act as board of arbitra-
ton. We only want to make it possible
to get the employer and the employed
together TO adjust their troubles. A
failure on the part Of the federation to
bring them together has been rare in
deed. We have been instrumental in
settling nearly 100 strikes in two years.
The only failure of any Importance was
in the great anthracite strike. made
a proposition to the mineowners to settle
the strike on basis Of per cent. adj
vance to the miners and they refused.
The arbitration board appointed by
President Roosevelt gave the miners
more than twice as much. If our offer
had been accepted it would have saved
this country 5000, 900, 00O." Referring
to the statements that bad been made
that his connection with the Civic Fed
Grafton was for political purposes, Sena-
tor Hanna said: "Some men say that
my connection with this organization is
for political purposes, but cannot help
their saying it. l know what am do
ing it for. Every man who has the in
terest of his country at heart should aid
in any movement which has Tor its pur-
pose the lettering Of the economic con-
dition of the human race"
