Rome, July 27. Almost all the car
dinals of the conclave have now ar
rived. Their time today was mainly
occupied with a lengthy meeting of the
congregation which was notlcable for
the cordiality with which Cardinal Clb
bons was received. In well informed
circles Cardinal Dl Petro, pro-datary
of the late pope, Is being talked of as a
compromise candidate In the event of
Cardinals Oreglla, Gottl, RampollU
and Vanutelll being unable to secure
the -ote. Should Dl Pletro receive the
vote he will be a representative of the
Rampulltt-Grotti factior., and yet would
be fairly acceptable to all.

the exception of Cardinal Gibbons, will
be the only English speaking cardinal
In the conclave, arrived today from
Ireland. He said be believes the suc
cessor to Leo would be quickly chosen
Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons the Irish
cardinal paid him a glowing: tribute.
although like all priests here, he held
out no hope that the American cardl-

JAIL ESCAPEE COULD NOT CON
TROL HIS . TEMPER AND SO IS
RETAKEN
New York, July 27. When Matthew
Callahan escaped from the Tombs pris
on, together with Robert Booth, June
23, the' authorities did not feel much
.alarmed, for they knew that he would
fall into the hands of the police be
fore long. Today Callahan Is back In
prison with a long term of imprison
ment before him. He owes his recap
ture to his violent temper and his de
sire to make matters unpleasant for
his wife and children when in the mood
Officers of the West Sixty-eighth
street station were surprised by a wo
man who rushed In and asked for pro
tection from her husband, who was
threatening to burn their home. She
added that he had recently escaped
from prison. When two policemen
reache.l the house they found the
children in the hallway weeping. Cal
lahan was found under the bed. When
he waa pulled out, he made a deter
mined resistance, but was subdued and
Identified later by the Tombs keepers.
His escape from tne city prison was
comparatively easy because he and
Booth were "trusties," but his sentence
is, sure to be greatly lengthened from
the original six -nonths.
DEMAND FOR WESTERN FRUIT
ONE HUNDRED CARLOADS GO
EAST EVERY DAY FROM SACRA
MENTO San Francisco, July 27. A hundred
ailoads of fruit a day, or 2,400.000
pounds, are now going east from Sac
ramento. Up to last Monday the num
ber of cars, sent east to all points be-
ond Ogden was 1,717. They contained
41,;g$,000 pounds of fruit. Both the
railroad official and the orchardists
say that the prospects .are favorable
for the shipment east, this season of
2.iW,000 pounds of all sorts of green
fruits. Tis is equivalent to 8,000 car
loads. The New York, Chicago, Boston and
St, Paul demand for 8,11 kinds of Call-
lrnla gren fruit is reported to be
stronger than ever. The orchprdists
through an executive committee, are
outing the shipments in such a man
ner nn not to glut the market in any
of the eastern cities. On this account
rices ar? kept firm and steady. The
severe winter ana spring weatner in
many eastern and southern localities
cstroyed most of their trult trees.
This Is the main reason for the high
prices being paid for California fruits.
Owing to the good prices obtained
i the eastern makets, this season Is
the best California orcnardlua have
had in 11 or 12 years.

the future politics of the far east.
Moreover, there are indications that
Japan Is striving: in every way to ad
vance that influence with tbe Chinese
government and it Is even broadly stat
ed that her ultimate object is to stren
gthen her own position with an alli

the argument that together they could
