Long was used as the inter- mediary in both transactions. Over $22,000 was paid by the department for straps that were furnished to Stern, though Stern had contracted to furnish them himself. Long, Machen and Stern have been indfoted in this case for comspiracy to defraud the Government. The department through the free delivery division entered into an agréement with John T. Cupper of Lock Haven, Pa., to furnish ma- terial and paint all of the letter baxelérm‘e boxes and letter box posts in the United States, for which he was to receive 25 cents for each post, 50 cents for each letter box and $1 for each package box. The terms allowed Cupper were far in excess of the former cost of paint- ing. The boxes in some of the larger cities were painted frequently, sometimes every year, while in smaller cities in the remote tions of the country they were ted not o exceed once in five or six years. A part of the money which Cupper received from painting the boxes he paid to W. C. Long, who divided it r | with Machen.

Cupper paid Long a part of this money, who divided it with Machen. Cupper, Long and Machen have dicted for ment. The straps for which it is alleged the Government was made to pay twice were supplied by a New York firm, which is said to have acted entirely in gcod faith. One of the indictments sets out that this firm in one Instance made a pavment of $1760 to Long, who, according to the evi- dence cited In the indictment, pald Ma- chen $1060 of this amount. The supply of the straps continued until the post- office Investigation began and supply matters were held up under orders of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow. It is explained at the depart- ment that Crawford had the coatract for what were called the A, B and C satchels, being those for city delivery, rural free delivery and collectors in the cities, while Runkle had the contract for sup- plying the large size canvass duck satch- els for the collectors. These contracts were for the six years—1900-1906. Stern's contract was prior to these. —— e NEW YORK, July 31.—Mrs. Lydia is dead at her home in X age of 100 years and 1 mont] been in- conspiracy to defraud the oo‘:m':.

Careers of Gotti, OME, July 8..—The four Cardinals whose names have been, most frequently before . the public re- cently in eonnection- with. tlie discussion of the successor to tin papal ‘thione are Gottl, Oreglla, Van- nutelli and Rampolla. Girolamo Gott! was born at Genoa on March 29, 1824. He is a son of a peor-man, who went to Genoa in search of work, and was employed there as a quarry por-{ ter, a_humble but sométimes sufficiently | lucrative occupation. Gottl studied in the Jesult Coliege and afterward assumed the habit of the barefooted Carmelites. After having entered, while still young, the "Catmelite” order, Gottl.won the af- fection and admiration of all about him. At the age of 25 he was reader of phil- osophy in the Carmelite Convent of Loano; in 182 he was appointed profes- sor of navigation in the preparatory naval college. Among his pupils ‘were three future admirals—Action, Saint Bon and De Albertis, and two, future Ministers’ of the Marine.. In 188 Pfus IX nominated him theologician at the Ecumenical Coun- cil. In 1871 he was elected prosecutor gen- eral of the Carmelites, and ten years' der. Later he became a member of the Congregation of the Regular Bishops; doc~ tor of the Collegé of St. Thomas Aquinas and consultor of the Propaganda Fide, ° On March 18, 1888, Leo XIII nominated Gottl titular Archbishop of Petra and on May 18 of the same year sent him to Brazil on a special mission, with the title of internuncio and envoy extraordinary. 1t is 'known that.the Holy See had at that time serious differences with Brazil and Monsignor. Spolverind had been recalled to Rome and was.substituted by Macchi, who dld not succeed in .settling the points at issue, while Gotti was more success- ful. Some ‘declare that Gotti did not dis- tinguish himself in this mission. CREATED ' A CARDINAL.. ~ He became Cardinal in ‘October, 189, with the title of Banta Maria della Schola, shortly, after ‘his return from Brazil, and finally attained to the office of prefect of the Propaganda Fide, which holding 3t is called the Red Pope. No one can tell who will be Leo XIII's' successor, but. considering all things, Gotti_is bellieved to be the man of .the situation. It is sald that he has the cor- dial support of Germany and Austria, that Italy is favorable to him and that Franae would not oppose him. His good quali- ties are recognized by all the European powers, who do not forget his work in | Brasil. 3 It is not generally known that when Gotti was in Brazil he was officlally, ap- pointed by many -European Governments to do his utmost to cheek the civil war which broke out 4t Bt.

The foreign Cardinals Iave shown’ no indication of opposition to this as- sumption, but, however. willing they are to hLonor an Italian, it is believed that serious differences among _the Italians themselves upon matters of political- and. religious. opinion must. be -reconciled . be- fore one of them suftgble to all sections can be elected. The apparent difficulty of accomplishing_ this has réndered interest in the conclave doubly acute and is large ly responsible .for the .frequently ex- pressed opinion that some Caxdinal little talked of may emerge from the conclave as-the next Pope. 5 More interesting, perhaps, in a certain way, is the impression -which prevails in certain sections that, no matter gwhat the verdict of the conclave may be, great changes are impending in the policy of the Vatiean, and that. within a year or two the new Pope will no longer "con- sider himself a prisoner in the Vatican, but will, unlike Leo, leave its precincts when necessary. s Just before going: into his cell to-day a prominent Cardinal threw an interesting sidelight upon the chances of Cardinal Rampolla. Leo’s secretary of state has been persistently attacked recently by the Government papers for his temporal ower policy. i p"l amp nov.yso sure,” said the Cardinal, “that the public attacks upon Cardinal Rampolla by the Government are not in- spired by the Quirinal with a view 1o working up among Catholics and Cardi- nals a spirit of enthusiasm for him whic might greatly increase his chances of election. Indeed, it is perfectly certain that the Itallan Government would not be at all sorry to see Cardinal Rampolla wear the tiara, as at heart I do not be- lleve the Government has any serious disposition to alter the existing relations | between the Vatican and the Quirinal.” There is no doubt that Cardinal Ram- polla, who is so well known to all the Cardinals because of the position he held under the late Pope, has a strong follow- ing, but whether it is even approximately strong enough to bring him within meas- urable distance of the Papal throne will b revealed only when the first ballot is taken to-morrow. 2 Cardinal Serafino Vannutelll was cer- tain, according to a statement of one of those who entered the conclave to-night, to obtain ten votes at the first ballot. He is regarded as particularly friendly to Ireland and it is understood has the support of Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, and, it is said, of Cardinal Gibbons also. One of the interesting features of to- day’s preparations was the comparative ignorance displayed by some of the Car- dinals concerning the conclave's method of procedure. One of them, who looks old enough to have participated in any number of conclaves (although Cardinal Oreglia, of course, is the only member of the Sacred College with previous ex- perience), ingeniously admitted that he had not read the rules governing tech- nicalities of voting since he was a boy at a seminary. All of the members of the Sacred College, by mutual agreement, took with them when they entered the conclave sufficient clean linen to last three days. - If, at the expiration of that time, the conclave is still in session, ar- rangements have been made to pass out the soiled linen on dumb waiters and have the laundry work done by employes of the Vatican. / Before entering the conclave Cardinal Gibbons requested the press to deny all interviews alleged to have been given ont by him while in Rome, and also all pib- lished accounts of conversations he is al- leged to have had with private individ- uals, referring especially to the state- ments of Italia to the effect that he had criticized the policy of Rampolla. Until the conclave is ended, 700 Italian troops will remalin in the piazza of St. Pe. ter's, 400 to the right and 300 to the left, and 150 will be stationed in the plazza of St. Mark. Mounted carbineers and police- men will patrol the walls of the Vatican, The gardens and streets adjacent te the Vatican will be watched day and nighg by G qupol{a‘ i r |[FOUR CARDINALS WHO LEAD IN RIDALRY FOR Oi'_e'glia,.

From the acaderhy for noble ecclesiastics he entered the pontifi- cal court as a bishop. - On Aptfl 15, 1858 he was made reféren- dary of ‘segnatura and then was sent as inter-nuncio to the court of Holland. The ilustrious prelate was soon promoted to be nuncio at the court of Lisbon and titu- lar Archbishop. of Bagnetta. 3 At_his own request he was called to Rome, whére Plus 1X raised him to the rank of eardinal, conferring upon him the title' of '‘8t. Anastasio. On March 24, 1884, .he was appoin{ed -to the see of Palestrina, holding besided in virtue of his rank of “Abate Commendatario,” . the Abbey of Saints .Vincenzo and Anastasio, as the “Trefontane.” “He is camerlingo of the Holy Roman Church and was Chanicellor of the Réman Sacred College, bishop of Oporto and Santa Rufino, and is now bish- op of the unitel suburban, churches of Ostia and Velletr] and prefect of ‘the Sa- cred Congregation of St. Sermormius. He belongs to the regular clérgy and is a member of several eccleslastic congrega- tions and protector of many associations, and académies. o “Oreglia is considered, by many Cardin- .als, as Loe XIILs possible successor, ‘ow- .ing #o the office of camerlingo, which was held by the late Pope, under Plus IX. But this office of camerlingo, which after the death of the Pope and until the ‘nomina- tion of his successor placed in his hands the government of the -church, so far from incredsing his chances of being Pope, rather diminishes them. There is a fradi- tion which’ has rarely been’ broken through, and to which Leo XIIT was an exception, that it is exceedingly rare for a camerlingo to attain the dignity of the papal tlara.

DOORS CLOSE ON CARDINALS. Sacred College: Is Shut In' From the g Outer World. - . ROME, July 31;—By 5 o’clock this after- noon all of the Cardirfals had arrived at the Vatican and gong to- their cells. The .conclave wam duly forméd and its mem- bers shut in frorh the outer world. Every- thing was prepared for to-morrow’s vot- Shortly after 4 o’clock the Cardinals be- gan to appear on:St. Peter's plazza, where & small crowd watched interestédly and raised@’ their hats as-the princes of. the church passed into the rear entrance of the. Vaticar.. With each, Cardinal. Wwere ‘the conclavist and” servants ‘who - will at- tend to his wants during the conclave. Some had bags in the carriages with them, though most of the baggage had been sent on beforehand. The majority of the Cardinals contented themselves with tak- ing portmanteaus and handbags. At the Vatican doors the Swiss Guards kept back the curious crowd, among whom ‘were many priests, “Photographers vigor- ously snapped the occupants of the black carriages prior to their entrance to what one Cardinal called *prison.” About 4:40 o'clock the carriages drove up in rapid succession, until there was a long line of vehicles waiting. All the Car- dinals who werg known to the people, such as Gotti, Serafino Vannutelll, Agli- ardi, Satolli and Martinelli, received cor- dial greetings from the dpectators. Car- dinal Gibbons passed practically unno- ticed. In the colonnade of St. Peter's several hundred soldiers were drawn up, but they had nothing to do, a handful of gendarmes present being more than required to con- trol the outside arrangements. The last Cardinal to arrive was Vaszary, the pri- mate of Hungary, who drove up in great haste a few minutes before 5 o’clock. Exactly at 5 o’clock the official entrance of each Cardinal occurred, and they were soon settled in their new quarters. It is almost impossible to describe the confusion at the Vatican, each Cardinal being attended, in addition to his con- clavist and servants, by some friends, rel. atives and followers, to whom he gave his last instructions, besides minor prelates of all grades, newspaper men and artists, to say nothing of the people attracted to the scene through curiosity. Such was the babel of voices that the Vatican of- ficlals, unaccustomed to such scenes, showed the utmost bewilderment. Car- dinal Lecot completely lost himself and eventually was found by his conclayist, who having missed him discovered him wandering in some unused rooms on the floor above the one set apart for the conclave. At 5:30 o’clock, however, all of the Car- dinals had been assembled together and two by two they moved in procession to the Sistine Chapel, preceded by a cross held aloft by a minor prelate, and accom- panied by the Swiss Guards, as a choir of male soprano volces, said to be the only ones in\Europe, sang the ‘“Veni Creator Spiritus.; The procession passed through the stately Sala Regia, the sound of the magnificent voices reaching those outside the Vatican and entered the Sis- tine Chapel. Previous to 1870 the ceremony of the Cardinals entering in conclave was much more imposing than that of to-day, as it occurred in the Quirinal Palace. .They met in the little church of San Silvestro Al Quirinale and from there walked in procession through the streets to the pals ace, or, if the conclave was to be held the Vatican, the Cardinals met in St Peter's, a procession was formed there and after some ceremonfes wended jts way %o the a ite palace, o - When the C‘:o"fllnaq ll’:alld all assembled the marshal of the eonclave, Princs Chigie Albanl, whe was aq ymposing fgurs in n Service of Church. rdfi;zo Dannutelli and|| fortunately this position became almost impossible through the hostilitles of the Libétal party and- Vannutelll was com- pelled to resign his officé in 1879.

He is at.pres. ent grand pénitentiary and bishop of the suburban djocese of Frazetf; he is aléo a.member of the most important ecclesi- astic congregations and of the Commis-: sion of Cardinals for appointing bishops inItaly. He comes of a humble famity-of agriculturfsts. He at one time was con- sidered worldly, but now devotes himself entirely to religion. He is especially noted for his diplomatic prudence. He is lib- eral, enlightened and modern in his “Ideas. RAMPOLLA OF NOBLE FAMILY. Mariano mpolla del Tindaro belongs to a’'noble Sicilian family. He was born oh August. 17, 1843, and was made a Car-' dinal by Leo XIII in 1887, with the title of Santa Cecilia. He was also Becretary of State of his Holiness, prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Loseto and presi- derit of the Commiission of Cardinals for the administration of the prgperty of the Holy See and of the Commission of Bib- Heal Study. He is a protector of numer- o:x’l monastic orders, both foreign and Tedlian. Rampolla, having completed his studies in Rome, entered'the Academy for Eccle- sfastics of Rank. In 1875 he was sent to Spain as auditor- to the nuncio. In 1887 Rampolla was nominatéd secretary of the ‘Propaganda for matters connected with the Oriental Rite. In 1882 he was made ‘Archbishop of Heraclea and sent as nun- ¢lo tp Spain, where he won general es- teem and veneration. He was promoted ‘to the rank of Cardinal in 1857 and soon left Spain. Soon afterward he was ap- pointed Secretary of State, in which ca- pacity he won the esteem of the diploma- tists with. whom he corresponded. Though he has won high esteem, he has also made enemies. . B The turning point of Rampolla’s career was In 1885, when the question of the Caroline Islands arose between Spain and Germarny, upon which he suggested the 14 trator. This was a great diplomatic suc- cess for the Vatican, because it seemed like a return of the Papacy to its former position in Europe, from which it had been excluded since 1870. The diplomatic career of Rampolla is ‘too closely intertwined with the political part of the glorious pontificate of Leo X111 to be judged separately from it. The verdict of history on the late Pope will depend mainly on the actions of Cardinal Rampolla in success or failure, because A THRONE| idea of refetring it to the Pope as arbi-1_ -JUNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA CALLS HIM + < o EDUCATOR WHO HAS BEEN .

By the Yrae this’ ceremony was ended many of the older Cardinals were gquite worn out’ with fatigue, although the ritual to be followed in the opening of the conclave had by no means been carried out. Then, in pleasing confusion, the Car- dinals, each escorted by the Noble Guards assigned to them, went to their respective “cells” or apartments. Some of the wen- eubl‘e (D’r:llt!s, such as Cardinals Mo- cenni (who was born in 1823), Cretoni (born"in 1833) and Langenieaux (born in 1824), were so.exhausted -that they had to be supported by the Noble Guard in at- tendance .upon them. In spite of this there was still no rest for the Cardinals, as each held a reception to his friends, relatives and follJowers, who surrounded the princes of the church, giving them g00d advice, warnings and recommenda- tions, all talking together at the top of their voices and crowding about the Car- dinals to such an extent that one of the latter was seen to cover his ears with his hands, positively refusing to hear any more advice, accompanying his action by a gesture which eloquently sald: “Save me from my friends.” In the meantime the canierlingo, Car- dinal Oreglia, had been per!orm‘ln‘cu:- other ceremony in the Sistine Chapel, with the aid of the sub-dean of the Sa- cred College, Cardinal Serafino Vannutelll. Seating themselves in two immense chairs, with their backs to the altar, and flanked by Swiss Guards, the two Cardin- als administered the odths to the con- clavists, who advanced singly, knelt and swore not to reveal anything which they might hear in the conclave and to put no obstacles in the way of the election of the new Pope.

ROME, July 31.—The ceremony of the entrance of the Cardinals in conclave, which is always given as solemn a char- acter as possible, was inaugurated this morning with the celebration of the mass of the Holy Ghost in the Paulin Chapel, ot the Vatican. Before 1870 this mass was celebrated in the Chapel of the Choir-at St. Peter’s. The Saered College, number- ing sixty-two Cardinal the diplomatic corps, the Roman aristecracy, the Knights of Malta and a few outsiders, especially invited, were present, with' a prefusion of guards, who to-day had taken off the mourning emblems they had been wearing for Leo XIIL As is always the case at such ceremo- nials there was so much color in the pic- ture that one felt as though witnessing an exhibition of a series of living pictures, until awakened to the grand reality of the religious ceremony by the singing of e Sistine Choir. Cardinal Vannutelli omfici- ated. After the Veni Sancte Spiritus had been intoned Monseigneur Sardf, from the puplit (which was draped in red and stood in the choir), having before him the pon- tifical cross, read the Latin oration, Pro Eligendo Pontifica Maximo, exhorting the Cardinals to make a wise choice in the task before them, so that the one elected vicar of Christ on earth. Printed copies of the oration were handed to all the Car- dinals present.

EOEUTRSAR / TUCSON, July 31.—A collislon which might have proved fatal to half a deogen raflroad officials took place in the yards at Naco, Sonora, last night between -a special train carrying the “Sam Carlos,” the private car of Superintendent C. C. Sroufe of the Southern Pacific Company, and a switch engine, which was standing on the’ main line. Superintendent Sroufs and the five members of his party were all more or less injured, some seriously, The collision took place about 9 o'clock. A switch engine, which had orders to leave the track clear between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock in order to allow the spectal to pass, was standing on the main line without a headlight. The special came along, running at a rate of thirty- five miles an hour, and crashed into the switch engine, wrecking both engines and damaging badly Mr. Sroufe’s private car and an accommodation car ahead. The occupants of the private car were all thrown violently from their seats. Mr. Sroufe struck his head on the side of the car and was badly cut above the ear and severely bruised about the head Colonel Epes Kandolph, president of the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific road. on whose lines thg wreck occurred, had his foot cut and kneecap badly bruised. - Mrs. Sroufe did not consider herself seri- ously hurt at the time, but later on she complained of her spine and this morning grew worse.: She had to be removed to her home in this city In an ambulance. E. A. McFarland, consulting engineer of the Cananea lines, was standing on the flogr of the “San Carlos” ac the time of the accident and was thrown violently through'-the door of the accommodation éar ahead. He was cut about the head #nd shoulders. - Eugene.S, Ives and Henry Temple, - superintendent of the Cananea [ ines, were. abodrd the special and were s ightly but not seriousfy . injured. A dipatch’- was immediateiv sent to . Naco, Aris.; summoping physicians, who went ppsthaste to the scene of the wreck. Twenty-five stitches had to be taken in the- wounds .in Mr. Sroufe's head. His temperature is high to-night, but he is resting easier and no serious résults are feared. Mrs. Sroufe and the injured ofd ficlals ‘are getting along as well as could be expected under the cireumstances. The #ntir &ty came through to Tue- son at 11 o’ciock to-day- on-a special made up at Naco. The engineer of the switch engine fled across the line to the Arizona side before he could be arrested by the Mexican officials on a charge of criminal negligence. Curiously, neither of the en- gineers were seriously Injured. @ i O can Js somewhat -lessened by the excep- tional weather, which is cloudy, cool and windy, the mercury reaching only’ 75 in the shade, while, generally, at this season the mercury reaches as high as 100 in the shade 4t noon. The confusion which ensued from the Joss of the temporal power.of the papacy made it necessarv.to cut down expenses and among many other things the num- bers of the Noble Guard were much re- duced_ 50 that now there are only about forty of these foldiers. As it is customary for each Cardinal to have a guard told | oft for himseif in the conclave and there are sixty-two Cardinals, it has been de- cided to press into this service the cadets. The latter are not full-fledged soldlers and were drawn by lot. The question of which Cardinal they fall to is a matter of seri- ous import to them, as each guard con- gratulates his Cardinal and wishes him good luck in the coming election, for which good wishes he receives, if his par- ticular Cardipal is elected Pope, the sum of $10,000, or lucrative employment. The excitement over the drawing of the lots is intense, as the soldiers do not usually get such a reward for a few good wishes. The guard of Cardinal Gibbons will be Cadet Count Della Porta. The marshal of the conclave, Prince Chigi-Albani, having insisted that the number of persons who are to enter the con¢lave must be reduced to a really in- dispensable number, there will be only about seventy-filve persons present.
