ELECTION OF NEW POPE.
Conclave of Cardinals May Begin at
Vatican Aug. 1.
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

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. Congdon, of New York, who Is head
of the American Silk association,
which controls the raw silk market in
tills country, has returned from Japan.
He says the demand for the raw mateeinl

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

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. In addition,
instructions have been given to
I all the government authorities to put
' themselves at the disposal of the car'
