Business Houses and Escapes Without Being Detected. Nebr., July 24—One of the most daring robberies in the history of the city occurred to-day, when a solitary robbed two Lincoln busines using a revolver to terror- vietims. He Frst entered the rooms over the restaurant of O. E. Houck, where the latter taking a bath. He commanded Houck to make no outery and d his pockets of $7 50, The thief then t to Rhelnlanders’ drug store and broke in the rear door, while the clerks were watching the parade of Ringling’s circus, opened the safe and got $38. A clerk was standing behind the soda- water fountain at the time, but the rob- bery was not discovered until ten minutes later, when the robber had disappeared. | —_—— FISHERMAN’S RING MISSING. No Trace of Token of Papal Author- ity Can Be Found. ROME, July 24—Every effort is being made iIn the Vatican to prevent news of | a scandal leaking out. The ring of the | fisherman, which should have been found | on the hand of the Pope, has disappear- ed. It is not so much a question of its material as of its extrinsic value, for the ring of the fisherman is used to seal pa- | pal bulls and is an outward sign of the | authority of the Pope. When the Cardinal Camerlingo certifies | the death of the Pope he recelves the | ring of the fisherman from the chamber- lain of his Holiness. It is then destroyed in the presence of all the Cardinals at the first meeting of the Bacred College held after the éop.-. death. But when Cardinal Oreglia, the present camerlingo, had certified to the death of Leo XIIT, Monsignor Bislett! was a prey to the deepest despair and had to admit that the ring bad disappeared. Cardinal Oreg- lia, who had, as is the custom, brought his 8eclaration of having received the ring from the papal chamberlain, all written out, had to put it back into his pocket. Monsignor Bislettl can_give no | Indication as to the robber. The disap- pearance of the ring has caused a tre- mendous sensation at the Vatican, where it is the sole subject of conversation. c—— | XING EDWARD’S TRIBUTE. | English Sovereign Says Pope Leo’s Memory Is Cherished.

IN THE ARIS, July 24.—There is no longer any secret about the ideas of the | French Government regarding the choice of a new Pope. It leaked out this morning that M. Delcasse, the Forelgn Minister, told the French Car- dinals, as well as Monsignor Lorenzelli, the papal nunclo, yesterday that France deésired the election of Cardinal Rampolla, or, at least, a Rampollist government. The Government thinks that in order to insure a peaceful solutfon of the eccleslastical troubles at present raging in France the policy of Leo must be con- tinued. An arbitrary Pope would greatly complicate France's difficulties. Moreover, the Government is intensely Interested In the question of the Catholic protectorate in the QOrient, which the alec- tion of Cardinal Vannutelli, it is believed, would throw into the hands of the Kalser. The French Government desires at all cost to continue at least its protegtorate over French Catholics in the East, even if it must give up to Germany its rights over the Catholics of other nations in that region. Delcasse undoubtedly took up a strong position when he summoned the French Cardinals to a conference at the Foreign Office just before their departure for Rome. In this he showed as much deter- mination as though France still remained one of the official bulwarks of the papacy. This show of authority has greatly in- censed a great many Catholics of the middle classes, but it is pretty generally recognized by the whole body of the French church as a sign of the strength of the present Government. RGPS 7 GOTTI'S CHANCES BRIGHT. May Ultimately Fall Heir to the Rampolla Following. ROME, July 24.—All interest now cen- ters in the coming conclave and its re- sult. The gossip of the day may be summed up briefly by saying that Car- dinal Gottl's chances of election seem to have improved in comparison with those of other Cardinals who have been men- tioned as likely to succeed the dead Pontiff, although there still exists a strong feeling that some one hitherto scarcely talked of may wear the tiara. Much comment was excited at the Vat- fcan by a drive which Cardinal Oreglia took through the Vatican gardens this morning. The Cardinal did not appear to be satisfied with what he saw. He shook his head, exclaiming dismally: What decay! What neglect. I could not remain shut up in this melancholy place, I should die within a year. The gossips now wish to know if this means that the Cardinal would not ae- cept the Papacy If elected. It seems that the more probable interpretation of his remarks would be that if made Pope he would institute great changes in the gardens, The nearer the conclave approaches the more two distinct tendencies are shown in the Sacred College, especially among the Cardinals of the Curia (that is to say, those living in Rome), but in which the Cardinals from the provinces, as well as the foreign Cardinals, cannot help par- tcipating. These two tendencles snrina from the personality of Cardinal Ram- polla, as the great struggle continues to be in his favor or against him. It Rampolla finds that on the first bal- lot he has a considerable number of votes he will try again. If he has few votes and one of his opponents has many, he will renounce his chance and he and all his friends will support, first, Cardinal Gotti, with whom he now has come to some such agreement, and attempt to raise Gotti to ‘the supreme office, with Rampolla as an ally. This would mean the maintenance of Pope Leo's policy on exactly the same lines and intrusted to the same men. But Gottl Inspires dis- trust, because, as he belongs to the re- ligious orders, he would render the situa- tion of the papacy extremely -ifflcult at the present moment, considering the con- ditions prevailing in France, Spain and the Philippines. It seems, therefore, al- most certain that if on the first ballot it is probable that Gottl cannot be suc- cessful, this section of the Sacred Col- lege will decide upon Cardinal di Pletro, one of Rampolla’s most faithful follow- ers. Rampolla, being a Sicilian, can count upon the two Sicilian Cardinals. One of them, however, Cardinal Celesia, a Bishop of Palermo, is so old (almost %) that his relatives strongly oppose his going to Rome. For political reasons, all Spanish Cardinals are favorable to Rampolla, be- sides a dozen Itallans, thus making a total of twenty-five. But to be elected Pope it is necéssary to get altogether more than forty votes, as of the present sixty-five Cardinals not more than two or three will be absent from the conclave. The anti-Rampolla tendency has more prominent candidates, such as Cardinals Oreglia, Vannutelli, Satolli and Agliardi, which will cause difficulty in arriving at an agreement upon any one of them. It is already foreshadowed that should the success of their oppWnents be probable this group will center all their votes upon Cardinal Capecelatro, Archbishop of Ca- pula. It is understood that the Prussian Min- ister accredited to the Vatican has re- ceived instructions to favor the election of Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli or Agliardi. Bishop Kopp, Bishop of Breslau, who ar- rived yesterday, has been approached to the same effect. The Congregation of Cardinals h ot yet decided whether the note wmx.fhe Sacred College intends to address to the powers concerning the situation of the papacy at Rome shall be prosented to- morrow, when the reception of the diplo- matic body cecurs. The diplomatists ac- credited to the Holy See will be presented | by M. Martins d’Antas, the Minister from Portugal, who is dean of the corps. Mon- signor Merry del Val will reply as acting Secretary of State. At the meeting of the congregation to- day Cardinal Satolli asked when the con- clave gvould be opened. Cardinal Oreglia repliel that he thought that on the even- ing of Friday, the 3lst, all of the Cardi- nals might enter their cells and be ready for the first meeting of the conclave on August 1, a week from to-morrow. Monsignor Farabulinck, the famous Latinist, whom Gladstone often consulted and of whom the German Emperor re- quested advice concerning Latin, has haen selected to write the “Oratio Bre- vis,”” the Latin eulogy upon the late Pope, which will be buried with him. The congregation to-day also heard the secret reports from the Nuncios at Vien- na, Paris, Munich and Madrid. It ap- proved the charity bequeathed by Leo to the poor, dividing it as follows: Ten thousand dollars for Rome; $4000 for Pe- rugia, where Leo was for many years Archbishop, and $2000 for Carpineto, where the late Pontiff was born. To-night the Italia sees alleged con- firmation of the story that Cardinal Gib- bons had succeeded in transforming Car- dinal Richard, the Archbishop of Parls, into an opponent of Cardinal Rampolla, in the alleged fact that Cardinal Gibbons did not leave Cardinal Richard while in Paris; that they left together for Rome, traveled together and will lodge together at the house of the Order of St. Sulpice. As a matter of fact, only the statement that they will live together is true. It is known that they did not start for Rome together. Cardinal Richard is coming via Modane and Cardinal Gibbons via St. Gothard Pass. The latter is expected on Sunday evening or Monday morning. Inside the Vatican the work of arrang- ing the apartments for the conclave has been begun. The courtyards are choked with carts, bricks and building material for raising walls, mak- ing partitions, etc. The palace guards and gendarmes will be transferred else- where, as their barracks are needed by the conclave. This afterncon Cardinal Oreglia, escorted by the Swiss Guards, in- spected the work. Cardinal Oreglia is increasing in favor daily, even in Gov- ernment circles, The Congregation of Cardinals to-day decided to ask Monsignor Galli to de- liver ‘the funeral oration upon the late Pope and Monsignor Sardi the oration on the duties of the college, in connec- tion with the selection of Leo's succes- sor. These appointments, however, are of a tentative nature and have not yet been officially communicated to the ap- pointees. Monsignor Tarozzi was in- formally asked to pronounce the funeral oration, but declined owing to bad health. For a similar reason Monsignor Pifferi, the confessor of the late Pope, declined an appointment as confessor of the conclave. The report that Monsignor D. J. O'Con- nell, rector of the Catholic University in ‘Washington, was obliged to leave Rome on account of his electioneering for Car- dinal Gibbons is pronounced absolutely untrue. The fact is that Monsignor O’Connell came to Rome only to present his report on the condition of the uni- versity over which he preside: Finding the Bope at the point of death, he merely submitted a verbal report to Cardinal Sa- tolll. INTERMENT THIS EVENING. Body of Leo Will Be Consigned to Its Last Resting Place. ROME, July 24.—Again to-day the body of Leo XIII lay in state in the basilica of St. Peter’s and about 30,000 persons passed before the catafalque during the day. This, probably, is a slight increase over the number that viewed the remains yesterday and the augmerftation was doubtless due to the widely circulated re- FOR THE ELECTION OF CARDINAL IgAMPOLL[-‘t BLOWS FOLLOW THE AGGUSATION Physician Strikes Ener- . getic Pursuer in Santa Rosa. Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, July 24.—There were two meetings in this city to-day between Dr. ©O. O. Fletcher and J. E. Hoskins, the alleged irate and armed husband, who | ‘was In pursuit of Dr. and Mrs. Flelcher.i Both meetings ended in a lack of blood- | | with Hoskins, whereupon the shed, but at the second meeting Hoskins was knocked down by Fletcher. Dr. Fletcher and his wife and child ar- rived here last evening and took apart- ments at the Palace lodging house. Aboul[ the same time Hoskins reached Petalu-| ma, vowing vengeance on the wan who | he alleged had broken up his home in | St. Louis, and wrecked his happiness by | eloping with his wife. Hoskins rei\.chcdl this city this morning, coming up on the | freight train from Petaluma. He at once located the object of his wrath, and as| he started up the stalrs to interview Dr. | Fletcher he was searched for weapons by City Marshal George Severson. Hoskins then changed his mind and waat to his | hotel. There he caused a message to be | sent to Fletcher that a person desired to | see him at the Occidental Hotel. Fletcher i replied that he would be over at once, but before he reached the hasteiry Hoskins had retired and given orders that he was | not to be disturbed until 1 o'clock. Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher and her child took | breakfast at te Occidental, and then | strolled around’ town.- Just about neon the men met on Fourth street and Hoskins requested an inter- view. Fletcher declared that he did not | wish to talk to or have anything to do latter re- turned to the hotel. Later Fletcher in-| formed Hoskins that he could have a private interview with Mrs. Fletcher. With her he walked three blocks on B street, during which time Mrs. flelcher} alleges Hoskins denied ever having stated to any one that he was her husband. Mrs. Fletcher confronted him with Gallant | Rains, proprietor of the hotel, and Hos- | kins again said he had not called the| woman his wife. There were others | present to whom he had told of a mar- | riage to Mrs. Fletcher. He was asked 1f he had not claimed the child to be his,’| and answered that he would not reply that question. to He was accused of having sald so and at this juncture Dr. Fletcher took hold of him and shook him and then struck him twice in the face. i Dr. and Mrs. Fletcher say that they were married in Quincy, Iilinois, nine vears ago, and that they have been on this coast since December last. They de- | clare that they never say Hoskins pre- vious to meeting him socially in San Jose. | They assert that Hoskins conceived a vio- lent infatuation for Mrs. Fletcher and fol- | lowed her to San Leandro, Palo Alto and 8an Jose on her return to that city. Hoskins relates a story of an outraged | husband and previous to being knocked | down by Fletcher rehearsed it to a unm- ber of people in this city. He stated freely that he was married to the woman with Fletcher in St. Louis on March 27 1900, and that he is the father of a son born to her three years ago last May He also says that he left St. Louls week ago last Wednesday to pursue his | wife and child. He states they left with | Dr. Fletcher three months ago, and ex-| plains the loss of time between their de- | parture and his beginning of pursuit by saying he did not wish his relatives and emplovers to know of his marital troubles. In contradiction of this the Fletchers give their story, and declare the young man was soliciting insurance | and acting as a book agent when they took up their abode in San Jose. —_—— Woman Arrested for Murder. SALT LAKE, Utah, July 24.—A war- rant for the arrest of Miss Ella Hodge, also known as Allle Fisher, charging her with the murder of William X. Rvan, a spectacle vender, whose body, tied hand and foot and zagged, was found under his wagon near Murray about ten days ago, has been issued. Miss Hodge has been located at Denison, Towa, and the authorities of that place have been tele- graphed.

Those reports proved to be baseless and the body will continue to le in the chapel of the Sacrament at least during the greater part of to-mor- row. With impressive ceremonies the body will be interred to-morrow evening in a sarcophagus in St. Peter's, where it will remain until taken to its final resting place in the Church of St. John Lateran. Itallan soldiers again to-day preserved order In St. Peter's, where there was a repetition of the scene and crowd of yes- terday. The day was notable for the solemn | masses celebrated for the repose of the soul of the late Pontiff at St. Peter's and other famous churches in Rome, which were largely attended, despite the pa- thetic ceremony which was occurring in the basilica. “The most significant mass to-day was that celebrated in the royal chapel,] known as the Church of the Sudario, by the court chaplain by order of the King | of Italy.

STOCKTON, July 24—The body of & { murdered man was found late this after- noon in McDougalds Canal, a shallow i body ‘of water near the Santa Fe round- house. At first it ‘'was thought to be merely a case of drowning, but on examination it was found that the man had been beaten on the head and a large trail of blood marked the path over which the body had been dragged from a point some distance from the water. There was nothing upon the remains by which they could be identifled. but the body bad the appearance of that of a man 35 years old. He was dressed in cheap new clothes and his make-up sug- gested that he was a farmhand.
