Three Days Spent and Le0's Successor is Not Named
ITALY GROWS IMPATIENT
Not Only Disappointment, But Cries of Derlslon Greet Rising of Signal Smoke From the Vatican.
 Both Sides Stubborn.

Rome, August o.--AIlef three luH udys of dellberation. during which six ballots have been taken the members of the con- elave still remain shut up in the vatican without having selected a successor to Leo XIII. The futility of both the bal lots taken today was evidenced by the smoke which arose from the sistine chapel
 This mute signal this afternoon was watched by another large crowd which partly filled the square of San Pietro and numbered about 5000 persons. Great dis appointment was manifested and when the little puff of smoke appeared, there were loud cries. not only of disappointment but even of derision.
 l Rome is becoming extremely impatient over the delay in the selection of the new pope. concerning which there appears to l be no definite explanation, owing to the rigid secrecy with which the proceedings within the conclave are guarded.
 Cardinal Herrera Very III.
 Today practically the only news which came from the Sistine chapel was that of the extremely grave Illness of Cardinal Herrera It is presumed. however, that the other aged cardinals are also suffering from their prolonged incarceration, and the intense heat
 Among ambassadors and ecclesiastics there exists a general opinion that if only 1 for the sake of relieving the aged car dinals, much may be sacrificed with the l conclave to arrive at a speedy conclusion.
 Out of all the rumors and gossip which l is afioat concerning what Is taking place l In the conclave, the most persistent report 1 Is to the effect that the Rampolla and Serahno Vannutteli factions have remained compact, and that the attempt of one faction to press forward a new candidate l in the hope of breaking the strength of the other, had failed.
 May Elect Foreign Pope.
 The Italia says matters have reached a point which presages the possibility of the election of foreign pope and that Car dinal Koph. bishop of Bresau, who Is most frequently mentioned in this connec- ton, has the support of the German em- peror. If this is true, the Italia interprets 1t as move on the part of the Rampolla 1 faction to win over the Austro-G German cardinals from Serafino Vannutteli.
 The Osservatore Romano the organ of l the vatican, officially announces that Car 1 dinal Herrera Espinoza being gravely i'll, has received the last communion. Mon slgnor Bonlflce Marin. the vicar general of his archdiocese 'Valencia), was admitted 10 the conclave today, the door being l opened for that purpose with all the pre- 1 scribed precautions Outside were the l governor and the marshal of the conclave, assisted by captains of the guard. The l apostolic prothonetaries and the sons of 1 Prince Chigi acted as witnesses. Inside the door when it was opened. were Mon 1 signor Merry Del Val secretary of the 1 consistorial congregation. Monsignor Roggi, prefect of ceremonies and Mon signor Marzolini. The record of the ad- mittance of Monsignor Marin was official l ly recorded in a formal document which will be placed in the archieves.
 Guard Has Been Doubled.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press visited the Inside of the vatican this morning and found that all around the precincts of the conclave the guard has been doubled and wherever there Is the slightest possibility of communica- ton with the conclave. the Swiss guards. gendarmes and palatlne guards watched together.
 The antagonism existing between these bodies is the best guarantee that nothing underhand will be allowed.
 Besides the captains of the conclave in their cooked hats. and uniforms embroid- cred with gold lace, assisted by the valets of Prince Chigi, the marshal of the con- clave in gorgeous llveries, are constantly on the alert.
 The only think known from the inside is that the cardinals rose early today and individually celebrated mass in the 1 Pauline chapel. They took breakfast at 9 1 o'clock, going shortly after to the Sis- tine chapel. where they remained until about 11:30 a. m.
 A Beautiful Scene.
 The piazza of St. Patricks this morn- ing bore the usual appearance of the 1 past days. Italian soldiers occupied two colonades and stood about in groups, vainly trying to keep in the shade, the sun being scorching hot. new note to the scene was given by a caraan of peas ants from the surrounding province com posed of men, women and children. in | costume. who evidently have come to Rome for the pope's blessing The wo- | men wore bright red skirts. white bodices with colored corsets outside. spotless white handkerchiefs on their heads and sandals laced with leather thongs to the knee. The men were less gorgeous in velvet knee brooches with gold buttons. The group camped in the shadow of the obelisk eating watermelons and making so brilliant a picture that all on the pi- azza, especially the foreigners, feasted their eyes on the characteristic scene.
 View of a Protestant. New York, August 3.--The Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus of Chicago. preaching in the | Collegiate church here. took for his text the words of Paul 'I Must See Rome" He referred briefly to recent and present | events in Rome and in concluding said:
 "As we turn our eyes toward Rome, we are inclined to think of 1t as Peters | Rome, rather than of It as Paul was | constrained to see. As the as~s passed | Rome became know more and more as the seat of Peters theology, and for his methods as when he drew the sword. Dr. Gaunsauus described Peters nature as large and rich and blundering' and said that he was never safe except when acting under the direct influence of l Christ.
 Leo XIII. had attained, he said, to his great influence in the world because in | him 1t had seen once more the spirit of paul. He added: The world of today
