R OME, Aug. 5.—The news that-the Austrian Emperor vetoed the elec- tion of Cardinal Rampolia has been confirmed by all of tho Cardinals. In the baliot taken on Saturday after- noon Cardinal Rampolla obtained twenty- nine votes, an fncrease on the morning ballot. On Sunday morning Cardinal Gruscha received a telegram from Em- peror Francis Joseph containing his veto against Cardinal Rampolla. Cardinal Gruscha showed this dispatch to Cardinal Oreglia and the Camerlingo communi- cated the information to the Sacred Col- lege before the vote was taken. The veto caused a profound sensation, as It was absolutely unexpected. Car- dinal Rampolla at once stood up. He was very pale. He declared he felt quite unworthy of being elected Pope and that | the veto did not disquiet his conscience, for he had always acted exclusively in the interests of the church. Cardinal Oreglia delivered & similar speech of protest. In the ballot which succeeded Cardinal Rampolla obtained one vote more than on the previous day, but his opponents thereupon remewed the campalgn against him, urging that if he were elected Popé the Holy See would immediately be thrown into conflict not only with France and Italy, as during the reign of Leo XIII, but also with Austria | and Germany, all of the Cardinals being | convinced that the Austrian Emperor's veto was instigated by the Kaiser. "t is certain that the Austrian Emper- | or's exercise of his right of veto will lraufl‘ much discussion, as through it Cardinal Sarto’s election represents the success of a candidate favored by him, lor, it should perhaps be said, by the Kaiser.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.—The life of Frank Melllhatton has been saved by an | exceedingly rare surgical operation. The man was suffering from an aneurism, or dilation, of the great artery, which ex- jtended three inches above the base of the breastbone and was three and a half inches wide. As a result of this enlarge- ment he had become unable to swallow | and had great difficulty in breathing‘and suffered excruciating pains in the head. To save his life it was necessary to reduce the aneurism and to do that the hospital physicians had recourse to what is known as the “Corridis operation.” McIllhatton was able to talk to his wife five minutes after the task of the surgeons was com- pleted and is reported as doing well. The operation was performed by Pro- fessor E. W. Holmes, surgeon in chief of the Samaritan Hospital, assisted by Dr. Dietrich, Dr. Snively and Dr, Finck. Many prominent men in the profession were spectators. Cocalne was applied to the affected portion of the aorta, the disease lying in the transverse section, or arch of the artery. A hollow, porce- lain-covered needle was introduced into | the aneurism and a section of gold wire fifteen feet long was passed through the hollow of the instrument and permitted to coll In the diseased region. The wire was then connected with a galvanic battery and the circuit was com- pleted by the placing of a negative plate upon the patient's back and a current of five milliamperes was turned on. This was increased at regular intervals until it had attained the strength of cighty milliamperes and one hour's time had been consumed. £ \ MclIlihatton experienced immediate re- lef and the operation was pronounced flawless. The explosion of the electrical current cauted coagulation of the con- tents of the aneurism, which thereby shrank, relieving the pressure upon lungs and larynx. ———— AMERICAN ARMY’S LAST COMMANDING GENERAL WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—The President has designated Lieutenant General Young to command the army from August 8, the date of the retirement of General Miles, until August 15, when the general stafr law goes into effect and the office of the commanding general of the army is dis- pensed with.

WHEELING, W. Va., Aug. 5—The Limited Panhandle passenger train from the West, moving toward Pittsburg at the rate of sixty miles an hour, was de- railed between Jewett and Scio, Ohlo, to- night. Fireman John W, Smith of Den- nison, Ohio, was scalded to death under the engine and Engineer John B. Hoffman of Allegheny was probably fatally scald- ed. Jame$ B. Calderwood of Denver and Walter Corbett of Butte, Mont., passen- gers in the smoker, were badly hurt, while several other passengers received lesser injuries. . The engineer, while rounding a sharp curve, saw a man walking on the track ahead of him and immediately applied the airbrakes. The effect was to make the engine leave the ralls, leap across the westbound track and continue down a high embankment, where it was partial- ly turned on its. side. None of the cars plunged into the ditch. —_——— RIOTING STRIKERS ERECT BARRICADES IN STREETS Cavalry Charges the Mob, Which Refuses to Disperse and Marches to Attack. PARIS, Aug. 6.—The morning papers re- port serious rioting 1In progress at L’'Orient, on the coast of Brittany, where labor troubles have been brewing for several days. Last night the rioters attacked the military club over the Grand Cafe. They also stoned and broke shop windows. The military was called out, but the rioters put out the street lights and erected barricades. The cavalry charged and rode down the mob, the troopers striking men with the flat of their swords. It seems probable that the rioting will continue throughout the night. The mob shows no signs of dispetsal. At midnight they were marching to attack the prefec- ture. ——— EXAMINATION IS MADE OF EMMET'S GRAVE Skeleton Found Is Too Long to Be That of the Irish Patriot. DUBLIN, Aug. 5.—At the instigation of Dr. Robert Emmet of New York, an ex- amination was made to-day of the grave supposed to be that of the patriot, Em- met. A skeleton was found, said to be that of a man 6 feet high, whereas Em- met was only 5 feet 7 inches, A curious circumstance in connection with the examination was that the skull, instead of being found lying prone at the head of the trunk, was found lying in an upright position, which as Emmet was beheaded, may strengthen the theory that the remains were his. But the matter is still regarded as doubtful. ————— Jewish Emigration to America. ST.

OODLAND, Aug. 5.—]. P. Roberts, the oldest of the Fol- som outlaws who broke prison July 27, was captured near Davisville late this afternoon by posses representing the Sher- iff’s offices of Sacramento and Yolo counties. The Sheriff's office was notified to meet about noon to-day Sheriff's posse from Sacramento at Davisville. Under Sheriff Brown and Deputy Sheriff Griffin responded. They met Deputies, Reese, }linte_r and Winterbrock of Sacramento and Officers Hainlino and Johnson of Davisville. This sudden movement was the result of a tip received at the Sheriff's office in Sacramento that Roberts and Howard left Sacramento this morning, going in the direction of Davisvilie. After consultation the officers divided into 'two squads and began to search the bushes that border Putah' Creek. Brown and Johnson went to a point half a mile west of town to intercept anybody that the otlycr squad might start out of the brush. The second squad scouted on both sides of the creek as far west as the old county road bridge, where they came upon a camp of hobos. WEARY FUGITIVE IS FOUND ASLEEP UNDER A TREE. In the tramp camp they found an ex-convict recently released from Fol- som who knows both Roberts and Howard, but they found no trace of either of the men wanted. They were about to abandon the search in that direction when one of the officers suggested a thicket on the south side of the creek known as Hamel Island. About three hundred yards from the rail- road bridge the posse suddenly came upon Roberts lving under a trec. He had been asleep, and awoke to find the officers covering him with their guns. He was armed with a 45-caliber revolver, but as resistance was hope- Jess he held up his hands when commanded, until they were handcuffed. He made no attempt to deny his identity, but insisted that he parted with How- ard in Sacramento and made the trip to Davisville alone. He was taken to the Davisville jail, where he was confined until the officers made a further but fruitless search for Howard, The Sacramento posse took the prisoner in a surrey and left for Sacramento about 6 o’clock to-night, going by way of Flkhorn, hoping to induce him en route to give them information concern- ing the other convicts., DENIES THAT CONVICTS CUT WARDEN’'S CLOTHES. While Roberts was in the Davisville jail he was interviewed by a Call representative. At first he declined to talk to a newspaper man. but later was induced to tell something about his flight. He began by declaring that the report that the convicts cut Warden Wilkinson's clothes was false. They were all right when Wilkinson was released. he said. and if they were slashed when he returned to prison the Warden did it himself. A ‘Roberts was dressed in a striped shirt, brown pantaloons and a dark vest. He carried a pair of tan shoes besides the heavy leather ones he wore. The jailer came in with supper for Roberts while The Call representative was in the cell. He ate heartily and as a result taiked with more freedom. He expressed the opinfon that the prison authorities wanted to hang him for the murder of Guard Cotter. He declared he was innocent of any complicity in that crime. He sa’d he was in the laundry when the fight in the office occurred and joined the conspira- tors while they were on the way to. the armory. The officers are of the opinion that Roberts is the man who carried out the dynamite to blow up the gate and abandoned it when the gate was opened by a Continued on Page 2, Colimns 2 and # - ——— i - ESCAPED CONVICT CAPTURED NEAR DAVISVILLE, AND OUT- LAW WHO WAS WITH HIM. 4 TRAIN SPEEDS WEST IN RAGE WITH DEATH Steel Magnate Hur- ries to Child’s Bedside. h to The Call.
