OREGLIA'S INSTRUCTION
Defines the Principles Which
Are to Govern the Body
and Charges Their Strict
Observance - Physi-
cians' Fees.
Rome. July 3l>-The Vatican today wan
the scene of great activity both Inside
and outride. Within the Vatican the last
]'reparations were making fur the con-
clave and everything was In the utmost
confusion. Workmen and servant* were
hurrying; hither and thither, some hang-
ing curtains, others putting in extru fur-
niture. wtille porters Vere stnggerinf
along under Immense trunks, as If some of
of the cardinals exacted to remain In
their cells for months. other Cardinals,
sent praetlpnily nothing, jn the chapel
work will go on throughout the night.
The galleries which were built for the
accommodation for the special personages
ar" being made into stalls for the cardi-
nals. These will be ranged on both sides
and surmounted by canopies, ail In violet
except that of th* camerllngo Cardinal
Oreliga, which will be gieeu, as he Is
successful. The revolving dumb wait-
ers were also teited. They are charac-
teristically Roman, and consist of
wheels with shelves on which things
are placed and they are made o re-
volve, carrying In or out, but making
It quite Impossible for persons on eith-
er side to see each other. It is under-
stood that Count Boderinl, whose posi-
tion at the Vatican la that of bearer of
the. "Oolden Rose," the greatest gift
which a pope can confer upon women
of royal familios, was entrusted by Leo
with the task of writing the history of
his pontifical enjoining upon the fact
that he wished a true history and not a
eulogy.
. During tbo meeting of the congrega-
tion of the cardinals today the camer-
llngo received an autograph letter from
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria,
which renewed condolences on the
death of Leo and expressed the hope
that the sacred college would be in-
spired by the great interests of the
church In choosing his successor. The
letter produced a strong impression,
and it was decided to answer it with
a special message.
Subsequently Cardinal Oreglla told
how the work of the conclave was to
be tarried on. recalling the principles
which were to govern the body and
recommending their strict observance.
He outlined a program for tomorrow
which will consist of the mass to the
holy ghost in the morning, together
with the deliverance of the oration pro
pontlflce e'igendo. The cardinals will
enter ihe conclave at Ave o'clock in the
afternoon. Each of the Cardinals to-
day received a medal struck by the
camerllngo to maintain the tradition
of his sovereignty during Ihe interre-
genum. It is Intended to strike coins
also for all the conclavists and servants
who are to he present. Cardinals San-
ininiatelll, Machi and Delia Volpe were
charged with the duty of visiting the
apartments of the conclave and cardi-
nals Tripltol and Boschi with visiting
the precincts of the conclave for the
purpose of making sure of any possibil-
ity of communication of the outside
world. They are to make their report
to the congregation tomorrow.
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 that the

Outside the Vatican the work was of a
different character, the quiet work of the
supporters of the dllterent candidates
marshaling their strength for th<- con-
test which is to come when the doors
of the conclave are closed. No one can-
didate stands out prominently as did
Count Peccl in the conclave of 1878. and
the discussion here is not so much con-
cerning the superior qualities of the can-
didates as of the strength with which
they are credited.
Roqi®- July 30.—The cardinals today
vlplted the cells which they are to oc-
cupy during the conclave, but. It can
not be said that they returned very en-
couraged of the idea of being confin-
ed. perhaps for some time, In what are
rightly termed "cells," which are
without running water and necessary
ventilation. It was feared ihat the
health of some of the older and more
feeble cardinals might suffer. Perhaps
the most concerned was Cardinal Mas-
nary, who as primate of Hungary is
the wealthiest of the cardinals He is
credited with an income of $400,000 an-
nually. He insists that he cannot eat
with the officers and must have his
meals outside Tonight experiments
were made with the kitchens, the
working of which is considered qulto
important, as about 5.000 people must
be fed thrice daily for an indefinite
period. Xbe trials cveru
money remaining after the charitable
beqtiests left by Leo are paid would be
only about $4,000. This sum was con-
sidered insufficient, and a commission
of cardinals was instructed to augment
it to such an amount as might seem ap-
propriate.
"CONSTITUTION" DISTRIBUTED
Rome, July 30.—The Italia says that
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 1882 and recalls former constitutions
and conclaves, especially that of Pius
IX and then « omp!ains 'he condi
tlons of the Holy See "under hostile
domination," and recommends the
quick election of a new pope. It ad-
vises 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
election of a new pope, not according
to the personal preferences of the car-
dinals. but according to the dictation
of their consciences, inspired only by
che welfare of the church.
On the cover of the pamphlet con-
taining the "constitution" Is written:
"To be kept with most absolute secrecy,
and with 4b* *iuty e£ xutizraliu, it.'1

blew more than twelve knots an hour, the

raclng trial today, and acquitted her•-
as become a candidate for the Am-

miles of windward work in which It was
timated that she beat th- Shamrock I
by si* minutes, was a surprise The two
Shamrocks left Sandy Hook lightship in
10-knot breeze at 11:08. It was dang-
nus racing in such rough water and after
half an hour, when the Shamrock III had
a comfortable lead over the Shamrock I.
they went nhout and ran back to Sandy

ship at 11:35 Shamrock III was thirty sec-
onds ahead. Both boats wore fairly Hy-

even her admirers. The Shamrock I
quickly dropped away to leeward. For an

KEATING GIVEN RECEPTION
ON RETURN FROM IRELAND
New York. July 30.—Jno. T. Keating,
of Chicago, formerly national president
of the Ancient Order of Hlberians, was
given a reception by the Clan-Na-Gael
tonight at Cooper Union. Mr. Keating
who arrived from Ireland today on the
White Star steamship Teutonic deliv-
ered the address at the International
Pilgrimage to th? United Irishmen, at
Bodenstown, Ireland on June 21.
Tonight's meeting was intended as an
answer to me charge that Mr. Keating
did not deliver the address as a repre-
sentative of America.
The resolutions in part were as fol-
lows:
"We, the Clan-Na-Gael. representing
the organized nationalists of the United
States and knowing that we speak for
the true manhood of our race in Ire-
land, tender this reception and wel-
come to our friend and comrade. Jno.
T. Keating, of Chicago, on his return
from the old land, in recognition of his
long and faithful services to the Irish
cause, and especially for his defense of
chat cause on June 21 last at the grave
of Wolfe Tone, In Bodenstown, County
Kildare.
"We declare that he there spoke for
us and our brethren through the world
and we assure our countrymen at home
that the few men who attacked him for
his utterances represent no organized
force or large body of opinion in the
United States.
"Ireland's true interests will be best
served by a steady, resolute and pro-
gressive policy of organization among
her own people the world over and the
cultivation of alliances with England's
enemies with a view to the eventual re-
construotion and re-establishment of
an Irish nation—the founding of an
Irish republic—on the ruins of the Brit-
ish empire. To that policy we pledge
our hearty and continuous support and
will oppose by every means in ouf pow-
er any and all forms of alliance or un-
derstanding between this country and
England and every use of the power
and Influence of the American govern-
ment In support of British Interests in
any part of the world."

A majority of the directors of the

Monday morning, tho outlaws remains

succeeded in eluding their pursuers and
the ultimate escape of at least a por-
tion of the gang seems highly probable.
The conviction is growing that tho
lleeing men are headed for the Sierra
Nevada mountains and are being aid-
ed by ex-convicts who reside along the
route. The people through this section
of the state are greatly alarmed, not-
withstanding the presence of many
peace officers and a company of militia.
Those residing in isolated localities are
excepting the fugitives, who are short
of provisions and ammunition.
Sacramento, Calif.. July 30.—A spe-
cial from Folsom state prison says that
the latest reports received show that
the militia have had absolutely no
trace of the escaped convicts since
Monday night.
The fugitives are thought to be
doubling back from the vicinity of Ix>-
tus to the neighborhood of Rattlesnake
Bar and ihe Zengraff mine. The coun-
try in which the fugitives are supposed
to be has been a number of deserted
cabins and several orchards which will
afford them shelter and food.
Guard Noro. who was stabbed In tbe
prison fight is slightly worse and his
recovery is still doubtful.
J. W. Woods the leader of the escap-
ed convicts, is said by the prisoners
hero to have been a soldier with the
United States regulars in the Philip-
pines. According to their story he de-
serted from the federal troops and join-
ed the Filipinos. He was regarded as
a hero among the convicts, who say
surrounded by
erlng a force of Filipinos cantured the
1'. S. soldiers prisoners and had them
shot to death. 'Later Woods was cap-
tured and was tried by a mixed court-
martial on a charge of desertion and
aiding the enemy. He was convicted
but the secretary of war, disapproved
of tbo findings for the reason that
Woods, being a regular could not be
held by the decision of a mixed court.
By some means or other Woods was
never tried again and he returned to
America. It is said he led the Filipinos
in many encounters and is thoroughly
familiar with the tactics of gueriila
warfare.
