Rome, Aug 5.-The conclave after be-
ing in session for four days, on Tuesday
elected Giuseppe Sarto, patriarch of Ven
ice, as pope to succeed Leo XIII, and he
now reigns at the vatican and over the
Catholic world as Plus x. At night all
Rome was Illuminated in his honor.
The election of the patriarch of Ven
ice was unanimous. After Mondays
ballot it was foregone conclusion that
he was the only candidate sufficiently
acceptable to all to secure the necessary
two-thirds, which the laws of the church
require. One of the cardinals said that
he believed Plus x. would follow the
broad lines of Leo's policy although not
likely to accentuate it. This voices the
general feeling here, which is one of
satisfaction

While Prince Chigi, the master of
the conclave, was drawing up the Off
cial act of the election and acceptance
of the newly elected pope, the latter,
surrounded by his friends, disappeared
into a small room near the altar,
where he donned, with who can say
what feelings of triumph and
humility, the white robes of his Office.

Gambling Joints In Australia.

From the Sydney Daily Telegraph.
 The suppression of the Chinese gamb- ling dens in the vicinity of the Haymark- ct is the self-imposed task of the police of No. division They have had the matter in hand for many months, and, although they have succeeded in captur- ing scores of celestials and having them fined their task is today as far from com pletion as ever. The Chinese gamble as much as of yore, and the bankers and oroupers exercise their respective callings with unabated vigor. To capture them in the act, however, Is becoming a problem which the police find difficult of solution.
 Tn addition to showing increased watch fitness for the presence of the enemy, the Chinese are taking all manner of pre- caution to make their houses their castles in times of danger. Bolts and bars easy of manipulation, and partitions and trap doors cunningly constructed, are being utilized in many places to resist police invasion, and to provide for the safe egress of patrons one house has been provided with a staging leading from the first floor across the yard, and permitting the escape being made through the ad- joining buildings The latter den was the scene of raid the other night, but 1t was not so successful as was hoped would have been the case. About half an hour prior to the signal being given to the waiting police Senior Constable Quelch visited the rooms and found the fantan tables surrounded by large numbers of gamblers and doing thriving business.
 An additional crowd was expected to attend the drawing of the pak-a-pu bank at o'clock, and in order to secure as rich a haul as possible it was arranged to enter the house at that hour. The entry was successfully made by means of a lad der and a combined rush at the doors, but when the police jumped through the

upper floor windows and ground floor doors they found, to their astonishment, emrty instead of full rooms. Of the crowd who half an hour previously oc- cupied the building only eight remained, and these were promptly arrested. hand cuffed together and marched to the Cen tral police station.
 An examination of the house disclosed an elaborate system of partitions and sliding doors, trap doors over the stair cases, bolts and bars on the main doors' but they were not brought into play, no doubt, under the belief that the police would not proceed with the raid upon finding the place practically deserted. In view of the fact that the rooms but a short time previously were full of gamo- lers and that extreme caution was exer- cised by the police to keep their presence secret, the small haul formed the sub feet of much comment among the officers It only serves to show they consider that the Chinese are taking means to keep themselves well informed, and if they have the same success always in ef- fecting an escape 1t Is thought that raids will be almost useless to crush the grow t,ao avil

vilely cursed young man who rushed out on the field with the crowd who surround ed the umpire during the sqnabble. It leaked out that the young man told Cox he would whip him and when man laughed at his remark he bet him $lO that he would carry out his threat. He kept his word and. it is said, collected the ten samolians.
 After a full hearing Manager oBrien and Captain Vaughan were fully exoner- ated and the suspension removed. There was no evidence introduced to show that either of them had used foul language and nothing was brought out to show that they had threatened the umpire.
 The most humorous incident of the hear ing was the testimony of Danny the boy who carries bats for the Iron Makers. He swore that Cox threatened to kick him and said: You are one man in the park can whip" With that Danny sat down amid a roar of laughter.
 The fines against Vaughan and Keenan will stand.
