Rome, July 21.?According to a statement coming from a high ecclesiastic arrangements r.t the vattcan nie being pressed forward which will enable the conclave of cardinals to begin sitting Apt. 1. However, it is now thought the session may last considerably longer than r>t first exported, even long enough to permit Cardinal Moran, of Sydney. N*. S. W.. to arrive In time to take .pait in the proceedings. An amba. r.ador accredited to the Vatican srys the cpiestlcn of Pope I.eo's Fucce =: i- la a peculiarly open one at the pte.er.t moment. The personalty . v-v . ~ ...I*.UIVS3 |M i; .? U Iltia t| Uldir important part than In any preceding cor-rlavo, ?;,Kt the conditions prevailins in t>-? part aie nr>v entirely chango.i. Formerly the sacred college war divide: Ir.la several distinct parties. There was first that composed of the a:\Mn.iI members of $ie great Roman farr.iiir.:, noavly every one of which was represented in the colleges. These -.hoys exerted very powerful influence hi tha election of r. popo. At the present time there Is only one scion cf a groat Roman house among the cardinals, namely, Cardinal Rattista CdiRn del Dorago. who. from the stand' point of the election of a new pontiff, is relatively unimportant. Then thohe were parties composed of cardinals ap poir.to.i by the same pope, who usually ranged themselves Into separate bodies In addition to the members of the sacred college appointed by the pope who had then just passed away, there voro usually considerable numbers chosen by his predecessor, and even a few nominated by the pope preceding him. In consequence of Leo fill's long reign these partios have entirely disappeared. In the present conclave tbeTe will be only one cardinal?Cardinal Oreglia?who was not appointed by Pope I ?. As a result of these changes the approaching conclave will bo nine' piore under the influence of individual candidal than the past, rendering it impossible to forecast the election witj, any degree of certainty. It Is considered highly probable that tbc new popo will be a man at present not though of and not talked about. The Tribuna today published an interview with Cardinal Svampa, Archbishop of Bologna, who the paper says, has quite recovered from his stroke r.f paralysis. The cardinal is quoted as saying: "I believe that the conclave will be very short, as were the last two. At tbc utmost, I think it may tako a week, as now there does not exist in the sacred college the marked political difffl'pnrps nf ntVifr imi?K Thprofnro !t will be possible to arrive at an understanding more easily and quicker." The interviewer asked the cardinal what lie thought tho policy of the future pope would be in regard to the so-called Roman question. "Will it remain rigi^Jy unchanged, or will the new popo inaugurate a modue vivendi, which many persons in both camps wish for?" Cardinal Svampa replied: "No one today can say with certainty anything about it. But it must not lie forgotten that whoever is elected will bring something personal Into the attitude of the lioly see regarding that question, something which more or less must differentiate from the attitude of the former pope. Besides, every tlieoj?etieal fact of importance brings with it changes which ameliorate or aggravate pre-existing conditions. Every sunrise of each day throws fresh light on men and things." War May Come Over Silk Product. San Eraneisco, July 21.?Genertl J. B.

He says the demand for the raw mateeinl hoe 1-WaIo >inAn /?fP i jiti imo uwvu inning uu UUVUUOH the Italian crop of silk having diminished, the Japanese raised the price of their materials which reduced the orders for the oriental product. 'It will be a surprise to me," said General Congdon, "If there is not war In view of the feeling existing In Japan. Tho country seems to be ready for ny emergency." Who Is lie? Who is it that makes tho Fewer gi! ons; weais-longer paintV Cardinal Oreglia communicated to them the first Instructions he has given since the death of the pope, informing them of the numerous messages of condolence received from all parts of the world and the universal mourning for I.eo XIII. An exchange of ' ideas took place regarding the ceremo1 nles preceding the conclave. When 1 Cardinal Oreglia asked for the advice 1 of one of the cardinals present tho latter replied: "It is difficult to fclve advice. Indeed, you must teat? us what to do. 1 cs not one of us ever participated in a conclave. I The Italian government has given orders to the raiiroad officials that cardinals coming to Rome for the conclave shall be considered princes of the blood and have reserved compartments, or saloon cars, placed at their disposal from the frontier.
