made almost impossible by the legis-
lation of Gregory XIV, are known as
Quasi-inspiration and compromise.
The former supposes that before a
given session there had been no
agreement among the cardinals and
that then one of the cardinals, adj
dressing the assembly, proposes the
name of candidate with the words
Ego eligo II elect, etc., whereupon
all the cardinals, as though moved by
the Holy Spirit, proclaim aloud the
same candidate, saying Ego eligo, etc.
An election by compromise supposes
that after a long and hopeless con-
test the cardinals unanimously dele
gate certain number of their body
to make choice. 1t has not been
employed since the fourteenth cen
fury.
When candidate has obtained the
required two-thirds vote in a ballot
(the choice, since Adrian vi, 1922,
falling on an Italian cardinaD, the
cardinal dean proceeds to ask him
whether he will accept the election
and by what name he wishes to be
known. Since the time of John XII
each pope takes a new name in imi-
tation of st. Peters changing of
name. The doors have previously
been opened by the secretary of the
conclave; the masters of ceremonies
are present, and formal cognizance is
taken of the pope's answers. Imme-
diately the masters of ceremonies
lower the canopies of all the cardi-
nails chairs save that of the pope
elect, and he is conducted to neigh
boring room where he is clothed
in the papal garments. The cardinals
then advance and pay him the first
obedience" or homage. The pope
then either confirms or appoints the
cardinal camerlengo, who puts upon
his finger the Fisherman's Ring.
Then follows the proclamation to the
people made by the senior cardinal
deacon, formerly from the central
balcony of st. Peters overlooking
the great Piazza, but since 1870 in
st. Peters itself. The conclave then
usually terminates, the masons re-
move the temporary walls, and the
cardinals retire to their various lodg-
ings in the city, awaiting a reassem-
bling for the second and third hon.
age and for the solemn enthroning.
If the pope happens not to be BIZ
shop, he must be consecrated at once
and, according to immemorial tradi-
ton, by the Cardinal-Bishop of Os-
tia. If already bishop, there takes
place only the solemn blessing. How
ever, he enjoys full jurisdiction from
the moment of his election. On the
following Sunday or Holy Day takes
place, at the hands of the senior car
the papal coronation"
from which day the new pope dates
the years of his pontifcate. The last
act is the formal taking possession
of the Lateran Church, omitted
since 1870.

slao asserted the right to have on the
throne of st. Peter a pope not un-
favorable to itself.
One of the first acts, however, Of
Pope Plus x was to abolish the veto
which was the cause of his own ele-
walton to the pontificate instead of
Cardinal Rampolla.

All Issues Advance Sharply in
Last Hour of Trading in
New York.

NEW YORK. June 6.-Rumors OF an
immediate decision By the Interstate
Commerce. Commission in the rate in
crease appeal sent prices up sharply
on the New York Stock Exchange dur
ing the closing hour today. At the open
ing. stocks generally were lower than
at yesterdays close as 4 result OF the
manner in which the antitrust bills had
Lecn rushed through the House, and the
depression in London arising from the
failureIof Chaplin. Milne, Grenfcll Com
Iany, the banking house which became
involved last month through heavy in
estment in Canadian securities.
During the second nour. however, the
report became current that the rate in
crease decision would he handel down
by 10 o'clock Monday. and would grant
the advance in rates which the roads
have asked. WASHINGTON dispatches re-
ccived last night said the commission
lad determined to make public its de-
cision at some tire when it could have
least effect on the stock markets. This
announcement led to a belief that the
decision might possibly come out today
The result of the rumors was to send
practically all OF the railroad stocks
UP fractionally and several for more
to several OF the leading industrials.
United States steel. which. II is expect
ed would benefit largely through in
creased orders. led the advance, going
from 60SI to close at SPY. New Haven
gained 1A points. New York Central

Potomac Power and Washing

In-Prices Unchanged.

Trading on the Washington stock
Exchange today was confined to two
securities. Potomac Electric Power con-
solidated per cent bonds and wash
ington Railway and Electric preferred
stock. The bonds brought 9ss4 for $500
worth. while 125 shares OF the stock
we're disposed of at S3It, the price which
has prevailed for recent sales.
Price levels for the other securities
listed were practically unchanged from
yesterdays figures.
officials OF the Treasury Department
today took issue with reports publish
ed in New York to the effect that
there Is probability of the need of a
bond issue within the next nine months
TO keep the wheels OF Government In
motion, owing to the falling off in Gus
toms receipts under the new tariff.
II was pointed OUT that the complete
receipts from customs duties for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1918, was
s2S7. .0po,54G. and that receipts for the
first eleven months of the current fiscal
year and the first four days of the pres
3s6. 49, or only $2i. IA, OF below last year S
figures. with more than three weeks Of
the year left.
Moreover, 1t Is declared that the es-
timated revenues from customs during
the current fiscal year were placed at
$210, 900, a sum that wns exceeded by
more than $1,000 in the first eleventh
months of the year.
Figures on the amount of revenue
that will be raised through the income
tax ere not available at this time.
Treasury. officials declare. however.
make up the deficit from lower customs
returns.

Aborn Singers Delight
With Opera "Martha"

Perhaps it was because a larger audi
cnoe was in attendance or il may have
been the personal popularity of James
Stevens, the baritone-but whatever the
cause, the enthusiasm that attenacd the
second performance OF Martha at
the National Theater last evening was
much greater than on the opening night.
There were three changes in the cast.
Stevens sang the part Of Plunkett, Wal
ter wheatley was Lionel, and Johanna
kristcffy sang Lady Harriet, in all
other respects the cast was exactly the
same. Mr.. stevens was in tinc voice
and gave the baritone part a pronli-
hence II seldom attains.
Mr.. wbeatley sang the great tenor
number in the fourth act in manner
that left little to be desired and Nine.
Kristoffy's performance throughout. es-
pecialIy her singing of The Last Rose
OF Summer" was thoroughly satisfac-
tory. Tonight the Same east will sing.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Nov. 30.-If asked for
an opinion on representative Gard
ners resolution for an investigation
OF the military strength of the United
States, President Wilson will oppose
it. Otherwise the president will not
seek to mould the opinion of congress
on the proposal.
The Presidents position was made
clear tonight by administration Of
ficials after it became known he had
written Gardner a letter saying he
was ready to discuss the question
with him at any time. Gardner will
be at the White House tomorrow and
make an engagement for the inter-
view.
The position of the administration
toward the Gardner resolution as out
lined tonight was that now is no time
to agitate the question Of prepared
ness of the United States for war.
The president hopes the nation may
play an important part in bringing
the present European war to a close.
His advisers believe that peace sug-
gestions would come with bad grace
from a country discussing its own
preparedness for a possible war.
