CHOICE 0FMTU Judge Thompson Urged for President HE HAILS FROM ILLINOIS Commoner Says He Has Ever Been True Blue, NEW TO- OFFICE - SEEKING Boy Orator and Editor Grow Face tious and Think Republicans Might Nominate Gold Demo crat Xor Vlce-Preuldent. LINCOLN, Neb., July 20. (Special.) The forthcoming Issue of Mr. Bryan's Commoner will say: "In the discussion among Democrats of possible candidates for the presidential nomination In ,1204, the availability of Judge Owen P. Thompson, of Jacksonville, UL, is worthy of consideration. While he has always taken an active Interest In public affairs and has been an. earnest ad vocate of Democratic principles, he has neither sought for, nor held, public offices outside of the line of his profession." The article concludes with an extended tribute to Judge Thompson contributed by & friend. In another and separate editorial para graph, the Commoner, says: "In "view of this kindly assistance, it would seem that the Republican party bosses might select a candidate for vice president from among the 'Gold Demo crats.'

Although Fiere was supposed to have been, killed by a bullet from the pistol of the watchman at the mine, an autopsy failed to establish the fact, and physicians incline to the belief that he was killed by the explosion.

A meeting of the grand officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will be held in few days to select a new grand chief and assistant grand chief to succeed P. M. Arthur and A. B. Youngson. The fact that Mr. Youngson, just before his death nominated H. M. Shay, of Youngs town, as first assistant grand chief, will have no effect, according to the best authorities, as the board of grand officers had no chance to confirm his nomination before the death of the grand chief. Mr. Shay is in the city, and will remain until after Chief Youngson's funeral to morrow afternoon. The nomination of Shay to be assistant grand chief was made under section 12 of the constitution, which makes delegates to the last National con -ventlon eligible to such promltlon. T. S. Ingraham, of Cleveland, first grand engineer, declined the nomination on ac count of failing health. The nomination of Shay will go before the three remaining salaried officers of the grand International division for confirmation, and in case of confirmation he will serve as grand chief until the next National convention to be held la Los Angeles In May next.

RAMPOLLAOR GOTTi Diplomatic Body at Vatican Makes Forecast of Pope. FORMER NOW HAS MOST VOTES Preparations for the Conclave Cause the. Vtmo Confnielon Great Army of Men Is Hurrying Hither and Thither. ROME, July 30. The Vatican today was the scene of great activity both insideand outside. In the Vatican preparations were making for the conclave and everything wa3 in the utmost confusion. Workmen and servants were hurrying hither ann thither, somo hanging curtains, others putting In extra furniture, while porterr. were staggering along under heavy trunks as If some of the cardinals expected to remain In their cells for months. Other cardinals sent practically nothing. In the Sistlne Chapel work will go on throughout the night. The catafalque erected for the funeral services Is being pulleo down, and the galleries which were built 'for the accommodation of the spe cial personages are being replaced by stalls for tho cardinals. These will be ranged on both sides and surmounted by canopies, all in violet except that of the camerllngo. Cardinal Oreglla, which will be green, as he is the only cardinal oi the congregation who was created tinaer the relen of Plus IX. The noise was so great that the colossal figures of Michael Angelo's "Last Judg ment" 'seemert to show surprise at tho busy scene which was transforming the beautiful chapel from a religious to an almost electoral aspect. Marshnling Their Strength. Outside the Vatican, the work was of a different character, the quiet work of the supporters of the different candidates mar shaling their strength for the contest which Is to come when the doors of the conclave are closed. No one candidate stands out so prominently as did Count Peccl, In the conclave of 1S78, and the dis cussion here Is not so much concerning the superior qualities' of the candidates as of tho strength with which they are cred ited. Those who know the Sacred College best consider It certain that Cardinal Rampolla will command the largest num ber of votes on the first ballot His strength. It Is believed, will be about 25 votes, but even with this large number to start with It Is thought he will have difficulty in making headway. His strong est opponents now appear to be Cardinals Vannutelll. with 12 votes; Gottl, with 10. and Oreglla, with 8. The remainder of the votes will be scattered among the lesser candidates, more as marks of personal favor than with much Idea of ultimate success. As 42 votes (two-thirds) are nec essary to elect, tho first ballot will be Im mediately followed by a called acceslt or supplementary vote, that Is, each cardinal choosing, if he wishes, a fresh candidate, or one who has already been voted for. Ut Is thought that very unlikely, consider ing the widely scattered character of the vptlng which -wll,l occur on tho first bal lot, that any candidate will receive the prescribed two-thirds vote In the first acceslt To Fall Heir to Rampolla' Vote. If Rampolla' s vote Is not augmented to enough to elect it Is bellved he will bp obliged to throw his strength to somv member of his party, and in such event Gottl and Dl Pletro are most frequently mentioned. The latter, as well as Oreg-' Ha, howevor, have repeatedly declared that they do not covet the election. If, In the acceslt vote Saturday morning Rampolla's forces or those of one of his party are considerably augmented it Is believed the election of the new pope might occur at the balloting Saturday afternoon or almost surely In those to be taken on Sunday. If. however, there are no decided breaks In the acceslt vote. the contest may be prolonged until the leaders, finding their own success impos sible, come to some agreement among themselves on a neutral candidate, among whom Cardinal Richelmy. Archbishop of Turin, and Cardinal Baclllerl, Bishop of Verona, are most spoken of. The majority of the diplomatic body accredited to the Vatican are of the opin ion that If Rampolla does not succeed. Gottl will be elected. COXSTITUTIOX LEFT BY LEO. Plain Word to Cardinals on the Election of a New Pope. ROME, July 30. The Italia says the "constitution" left by Pope Leo to the conclave has been distributed among the cardinals. According to this authority, it was written In Latin in 1SS2 and recalls former constitutions and conclaves, espe cially that of Plus IX, and then com plains of the conditions of the holy see. "under hostile domination," and recom mends the quick election of a new nope. It advises the holding of the conclave' In Rome unless the Sacred College should not be In the enjoyment of full liberty. and recommends the maintenance of the rights of the pontiff. It enjoins the elec tion of a new pope, not according to the personal preferences of the cardinals, but according to the dictation of theln con sciences Inspired only by the welfare of the church. CARDINALS .VISIT THEIR CELLS. None Jnhllant Over the Quartern and Wealthy Prelate Is 3ftzcb. Put Out. ROME, July 30. The cardinals today visited the cells which they are to oc cupy during the conclave, but it cannot be said that they returned very enthusi asUc over the idea of being confined, per haps Xor some time. In what are rightly termed "cells," which are without run nlng water and necessary ventilation. It was feared the health of some of the older and more feeble cardinals might suffer. Perhaps the most dlssatlsfledTwas Car dlnal Maszary, who, as primate of Hun gary. Is. the wealthiest of the cardinals Ho Is credited with an income of $400,000 annually. He insists that he cannot eat with the others, and must have his meals outside. Tonight experiments were made with the kitchens, the working of which Is con sldered quite important, as about 500 peo pie must be fed thrice dally for an In definite period. The trials were quite successful. The revolving dumb-waiters were also tested. They are charactcris Ucally Roman, and consist of shelves on which things are- placed and are made to revolve carrying things In or out, but making It impossible for persons on either side to see each other. Emperor of Austria Scads Kind Xotc During the meeting of the congregation of cardinals today the camerllngo read an autograph letter from Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, which added renewed condolences on the death of Leo and ex pressed the hope that the sacred college would be Inspired by the great Interests ot ine cnurcii 111 uiiuutnig uis successor. The letter produced a strong Impression and It was decided to answer It with special message. Subsequently Cardinal Oreglla explained how the work of the conclave was to be carried on, recalling the principal rules which were to govern the body, and rec ommendlng their strict observance. Ho outlined a programme for tomorrow, which will consist of mass to the holy ghost In the morning, together with the deliverance of the oration pro pontlflco ellgcndo. The cardinal will enter the conclave at 5 q'clock In the afternoon. Each of the cardinals received a medal struck by the camerllngo to contain the tradition of his sovereignty during the Interregnum. It Is Intended to strike coins also for all the conclavists and servants who are to be present CoRipenitatlon for Physicians. The question of the compensation to be given to' the physicians who treated the late pontiff during his last Illness was also discussed in the congregation. The executors of the will said the money re maining after the charitable bequests left by Leo are paid would only be about 000. This sum was considered insufficient, and a commission of cardinals was Instructed to augment it to such, an amount as might seem appropriate. It Is said that Count Soderl, whose posi tion at the Vatlcaa Is that of "bearer of the golden rose," the gift of which Is the greatest distinction a pope can show wom en of royal families, was entrusted by Leo with the task of writing the history of his pontificate, enjoining upon him the fact that he wished a true history, and not an eulogy. Count Soderl was furnished with abundant documents for his work. PROPHECY IS RECALLED. Vannutelll Will Be Pope, If Old Woman's Words Come Trne. ROME, July 30. People are now recall ing a prophecy which, at the time It was made, produced considerable talk among the superstitious, who held it to ne an indication of who will be the next pope, so much so that several large bets were made In favor of the cardinal Indicated by the prophecy. Many years ago the late Cardinal Parrochl, who was not even, then a bishop, one day met an old woman In the country. She was a typical witch In ap pearance, and planted herself kefore Par rochl, saying: "The Bishop of Santa Ru flna will be the next pope." The woman refused to say anything more. Parrochl spread the tale, which gained added circulation .when he was appointed to that see, and before his death he was considered to be the most likely succes sor of Pppe Leo. When Parrochl was dy ing he repeated the old woman's proph ecy. The famous Bishopric of Santa Ru fina was afterwards given to Cardinal S. Vannutelll, and now people are asking themrelves, will the prophecy come true after all? The representatives of France, Austria, Spain. Prussia, Portugal, Russia, Bavaria and Belgium accredited to the Vatican have informed Cardinal Oreglla, dean of the Sacred College, that their respective governments have received, from the Italian foreign office most exhaustive as surances that all the necessary measures have been taken to Insure material and moral liberty at the conclave. LAST TRIBUTE IS PAID LEO. Third Great Requiem Mass In Ccle- 'united at the Vatican. "B-OME, July 3a The last tribute was paid to the late Pope Leo this mornmg with the third great requiem mass cele brated In the Sistlne Chapel o the Vati can, and the funcUon was no less cere monious and imposing than the two o th en. 1 While there were perhaps fewer per sons present there was a greater display of gorgeous uniforms. Of the 62 cardinals now In Rome, all attended the mass ex cept Cardinal Cretonl, prefect of the Con gregation of the Sacred Relics, who was ill. Tho picture presented by the presence of cardinals in violet robes and red capes bordered with ermine and escorted by noble guards In scarlet uniforms and with drawn swords, the scene being softened by the clouds of Incense and the chapel resounding with the strains of the Incom parable SisUne Choir singing "Libera Me Domlnle.'V made those present feel as though lifted Into another world. In the churches of Rome today began the offering of prayers to the holy ghost to assist and enlighten the cardinals to choose the right man to sit In the chair of St. Peter. During the conclave the blessed sacrament will be exposed In sev eral churches for the special prayers of the faithful, with the same object In lew. FOR MONUMENT TO LEO. Mnyor of His Birthplace Will Asilc the World for Contributions. ROME, July 30.
