LAWYERS ARE FORMING NEW BAR ASSOCIATION | Widespread Dissatisfaction Among Members of the Profession in Honolulu. HONOLULU, Aug. 1.—As a result of the recent disbarment praceedings in the Su- preme -Courrt in connection with the case of John SBumner, whose fortune dwindled away through his payments of attorneys’ fees, a mew Bar Association is belng formed by the lawyers of Honolulu. Many of the members of the present organiza- ton are outspoken in their criticism of -the actions of some of the profession who were connected with the Sumner case, and numetous resignafions are threatened. .The last briefs in the disbarment cases were_filed to-day in the Supréme Court.

That these gave to no can- didate the necessary forty-two votes was made known to Rome and the world by the smoke of burning ballots which issued from the Sistine Chapel. To-morrow the Ca; ials will vote again, both in the morning and afternoon, but what the chances of their arriving at a decision be- fore Monday are, none can tell. | It was reported this evening that the Rampolla party was in the ascendant, but this cannot be taken as any indica- tion of the final result, as the vote for | Pope Leo ecretary of State may be | split up or given in its entirety to some other Cardinal. Apparently reliable in- formation, which, however, it is impos- ible to verify, is to the effect that Car- inal Rampolia received on the first bal- Iot this morning 20 votes: Serafino Van- nuetelli, 12; Gotti, 7; Oreglia, 5; Di Pletro, 4; Capecelatro, 4, and Agliardi, 3, the re- mainder belng scattered. Rumor general- ssigns Monday as the most likely day upon which an election will occur. CROWDS BEGIN TO GATHER. No one here seriously expected the Car- | dinals to select a Pontiff on the first bal- lot; hence this morning few of the popu- lace were present in the piazza of St. 1gh in the immediate neigh- troops and gendarmes stood shade of the colonnade. This the sun blazed down and St. ter's at 4 o'clock was just as deserted as on the day Pope Leo died. Soon after 4 o'clock, however, crowds began to gather. First came the priests and monks of denominations, in their queer colgred cassocks, and women from the poorer parts of the -city carrying or dragging children with them. By 5 o'clock several thousands persons, including many American tourists, hundreds of priests and anxious Romans of all classes, gath- ered ‘at the steps of the basilica and along the left side of St. Peter's Square, from which points only was the Sistine_Chapel visible. Every eye was turned toward the long, narrow tin tube, with a conical top, which rises crookedly from ‘one end of the chapel. It might well be an impro- vised emoke outlet for a hovel instead of the world-watched beacon, which alone can- give the sign awaited by so many millions of people. As eve drew near the crowd increased and Roman pr;ncqe and orincesses drove up and watched ‘from their carriages through opera glasses the tin Emokestack which glistened in the sun. Prince Or- ni, the head of the Roman nobility, who shares only with Prince Colonna the hereditary right to stand next to the Papal | throne, sat on the steps of St. Peter's beside an old beggar woman. Like her he watched intently for the smoke signal, but no smoke came. FALSE RUMOR OF ELECTION. The. bells of the basilica rang out the call to vespers, but none went in. The priests, pacing the ste; of St. Peter prayer books in hand, muttered the even- ing office with an ever watchful eye on the Sistine Chapel. The suspense became in- tense. Even the street urchins, who had come in large numbers to gather the dls- carded ends of clgarettes thrown away by the nervous men, stopped their work and ’(‘179?1 tnv\urd the v‘hdr\ 1, ral false alarms of a" (There Eceo la efu- is the smoke) caused a thrilj of excitement. Then came. a' rumor that a Pope had been elected, and many per- gons rushed to the basillca to get good seats when the announcement. should ‘be made. The impression that a choice had been reached was heightened by the ap- pearance upon the walls of the Vatican of a few officials in full uniform as if for | 2 great ceremony. When 6 o'clock boomed out from the big clock of St. Peter's there was a sea of upturned faces focused with intense an- ticipation on the Sistine Chapel’s crooked smokestack. Three minutes Jater came another cry. This time it was true. From the conical top of the chapel curled out a tiny streak of smoke, so light, so faint that it was scarcely distinguishable even against the deep blue of the cloudless Italian sky. SIGNALS FUTILITY OF BALLOT. From the crowd came a sigh of relief. Still watching, with necks craned, they saw the smoke thicken and then die down, down, and in two minutes all traces of to- -day's futile voting had \ar.shed into Slov\h‘ and with much speculation as to what had occurred within the conclave and the likelihood of an election to-mor- row, the crowds dispersed. The historic method of giving the world the only in- formation it is supposed to get regarding the election of a Pope had served its pur- pose with dramatic thoroughness. During the afternoon women were busy in St. Peter’s preparing the great window facing the interior of the basilica, from which the new Pope, immedlately after his election, will give his first benediction to the Catholic world. A number of diplomatists accredited to the Holy See have during the day stopped at the wicket gate without having any communication with those in the con- clave. The most interesting period at the wick- ets is when postal and other communica- tions for the Cardinals, conclavists and the others secluded within the precincts of the conclave are received after being examined by the marshal and the govern- ment of the conclave. The latest reports are to the effect that the condition of the Cardinals who are ill has somewhat improved. The rules of the conclave allow a Cardinal who is suffer- ing from lilness to leave and to even re- turn if he so d(sl ) P_BDCE!! OF THE BALLOTING.

Mass was sald in the Pauline Chapel by Car- dinal Osxeglia, the camerlingo, who after- ard administered communion to each Cardinal. The scene was majestic when the members of the Sacred College, as humble communicants, advanced to re- ceive the communion from the hands of the camerlingo, who gave subsequently a short address on the solemn nature of the occaslon. After this each Cardinal cele- brated another mass, either at an altar in the Sala Ducale'or in his own rooms, at a movable altar prepared for the pur- pose. Breakfast, consisting of coffee and rolls, followed. This was partaken of private- 1y by the Cardinals in their cells. Then the great business of the day was at hand. At 10 o'clock all the Cardinals assembled in the Sistine Chapel for the first ballot. Many were the grumblings at the un- comfortable beds, the heat, the odors and other discomforts endured, one Cardinal declaring he had not slept a wink becausé of the mosquitoes. The chapel presented a picture of much animation and beauty. Violet was the leading note of color. altar gave a peculiar light, in conjunction with the daylight streaming through the windows and gleaming on- the empty throne and on the long line of seats, with their baldachinos (canopies), occupied by the Cardinals intent upon the business in hand. Everything was symbolic. Even the balachinos, which were now raised over the Cardinals’ chairs In the Sistine Chapel, are a sign that each member of the Sacred College has a personal part in the sovereignty of the Apostolic See, but when a Pope is elected they are removed, the new Pontiff alone remaining with this symbol of power. The Cardinals went to the Sistine Chapel, accompanied by their conclavists, carrying portfolios and papers. When Cardinal Oreglia was seated, all of the others following his example, prayers were offered, after which the governos ot the conclave called, “Exit omnes,” thus announcing to the conclavists and pre- lates that they must retire and leave the Cardinals alone. The voting papers used by their Eml- nences are somewhat different from those of 1575, being a little longer and nar- rower, but the printed inscriptions are the same, in at the moment of voting, with the name of the voter at the top and that of the Cardinal voted for in the cemter and a Latin quotation at the bottom. Some of the Cardinals did not know how to fold their papers, which caused considerable confusion. Cardinal Oreglia, the camerlingo, demonstrated the folding of a ballot to those near him and they in turn showed others how 1t must be folded. Each ballot. was sealed, with no distinguishing mark. Each Cardinal in turn, holding his bal- lot between his first finger and thumb, so that every one present could see {t, ad. vanced slowly to the altar, where a lon‘ chalice was standing, knelt and prayed briefly for guidance, and then rising, took the folowing oath: witness, he who shal me, ‘that I elect him who I mmk"‘.mlml’:da elected according to God. This I promise to do elso in the accessist vote. 8o saying, the Cardinal dropped his bal- jot into the chalice, bowed before the al- tor and returned to his place, % “The balloting took a very long time, as many of the Cardinals, owinyg to therr advanced age-and illness, moved slowly and were obliged to have the assistance Six candles on the | the blank spaces being filled | i i CARDINAL ORERSEAvRs, SR of their colleagues. After the balloting was finished the chalice was covered and well shaken and the ballots were publicly counted. Then passing them into a receptacle placed o the table in the center of the chape!, the two Cardinal scrutinizers opened the first ballot and passed it to a third Cardinal, who read it out in a loud voice and the other Cardinals noted the votes on a printed list of names with which each was provided. As no Cardinal received the vrescribed two-thirds of the votes a supplementury ballot was taken, with no better resuit Consequently, at 11:2 o'clock, ail of the ballots were burned, the smoke beirg seen from the left side of the plazza of St. Peter's, where a few curious persons, mostly newspaper men, had gathered to record this mute message. It was sald on good authority that Cardinals Herrera and Langenieux were unable to leave their ‘“cells” this morn- ing, so that when the time came for vot- ing, immediately after having taken to the altar his own vote, Cardinal Oreglia showed the members of the Sacred Col- lege a small empty box having a tiny slit in the cover. This box was locked in the presence of all the Cardinals and the key was placed on the altar, after wa the three Cardinal scrutinizers carricd the box to the apartments of the invalids, who, after taking the prescribed oata, dropped their ballots through the slit into they box, Which was taken back {o ihe Sistine Chapel, unlocked and tpe ballors deposited with those of the other Cardin- als in the chalice on _the altar. The ballotinig this afternoon did not dif- fer In form from that of this morning. From what leaked out from the conclave it does not appear that much progress has been made toward a result, although it is said that the Rampolla party remains compact, with a tendency to increase its strength.

The Cardinals | who, like Cardinal Gibbons, have rooms | with full southern exposure, found the heat at midday almost unbearable. The afternoon ballot ended at 6 o’clock, when the crowd saw the smoke of the burning bailots ascending from the chap- el. Owing to the lateness of the hour at whi¢h the burning of the ballots took place, many rumors became current and hope was even entertained that a new Pope had been elected.
