Since then the wires have grown silent on the subject and now financiers are writing down their dreams of liberal ministry among other Russian disappointments. Berlin now is about the only market where Rus.* sian seenrities are at all saleable. The most important question is whether the Russian government can apply forcible measures that will check the peasant upheaval in the present Btate of the army. There are over 40,000,000 adult male peasants distributed over the length and breadth of European Russia. Of this' number over 37,000,000 have not Buffcient land to sustain themselves and their families.

Speoial Cable to The Journal. Rome, Aug. 18. gregation #late Somber-garbedJ monks from the four quarters of ithe world are arriving in Rome, singly or n twos or threeB, to attend the ap proaching conclave of the Jesuit con gregation to eleet a new general of the order, to succeed the late Very Rev. Luis Martin, who for sixteen years di rected the forces of the Jesuit army. Second only to the consistories which, assemble here to elect a pope is this conclave of Jesuit fathers. Secrecy guards the balloting of the cardinals when they elect a pontiff, but even more guarded, if possible, are the pro ceedings of the Jesuit fathers on like occasions. The meeting place of the congrega tion is not even made public, but it is generally believed that the coming con* clave will be'held in near Rome. Sometimes the plaee of meeting is not made known until after the election has taken place. The fact that the delegates to the coming congregation have been ordered to proceed to this city is no sure indication that the con gregation will be held here. Now that practically all the delegates are gath ered here they may be instructed to JJO somewhere else, even outside of Italy. The late general of the order, Father Martin, was elected in 1892, at a con held at Loyola, Spain. It iseral eiieved that the coming election wjij take place within the next two weeks. Three Days In Prayer. On the eve of the election the dele gates will spend three days and nights in solitude, thinking over the situation. On the fourth day after the assembling of the delegates the balloting begins. Into a large room they are led, and there they stay voting and balloting until a choice is reached. Sometimes impending starvation forces an issue sometimes days go by with no food' entering their mouths. Without food or water they* labor, praying always for direction and guidance, and seeking agreement. When the voting comes to no issue, and after a reasonable length of time has passed, election is reached in another way. The vicar distributes papers to each delegate, and instead of a general discussion, followed by oral voting, there is a secret ballot cast, which is collected by the vicar and his and counted. There are about 100 delegates, and two-thirds are necessary to a choice. Should this method fail, the delegates choose five members from among their assembly to act as electors ana these five then choose a general. American May Be Chosen. For purposes of administration the Jesuit world is divided into five parts, over each of which is an assistant to the head of the order. Italy has one assistant, Germany, France, England and Spain have one each. The assist ant for England is also assistant for the United States.assistants tricts-1 1 *"J Then the five dis- under the are again divided into provinces. In England and the United States there are seven provinces. Two of these are in thein United States, the eastern provincl. with headquarters at Washington, D. C, and the other in the west, with head quarters at^Jt. Louis. The two provincials from the United' States, Very Rev. Joseph'' Fi-Hensel^ nmnn of the eastern province and VerY Rev. Henry Moeller of the western province are in Rome to take- part- in, the congregation. Each is accom panied by two other representatives x$ his province, who will have votes in the election. Who the next Jesuit general will be no one knows. In Catholic circles here it is held to be possible "that an American may be chosen, and the name of Father Rudolph Meyer is mentioned this connection. Father Meyer 'is prominent in the order, and has been resident Rome for many years, con nected with the German college here. Prior ~to coming to Rome he spent years of service in Jesuit educational 'insti tutions St. Louis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. 7,000 Jesuit Fathers. In Austria they are saying that the famous Father Abel, the Vienesse,Jes uit, will be the choice of the delegates. Another strong possibility is the pres ent vicar general of the order, Father Roger Freddi, who was appointed by the general to administer its affairs until the. r^&vj. when congregation shall be general of the Jesuit reels that death is impending he places in a sealed envelope the name of the man who is to rule until his successor' is elected. The envelope is not opened until after his death. Then at once preparations are begun for election. The headquarters of the famous order have been for years at Fiesole, near Florence, Which was the official pesidence of the "black pope." Th late general^ however, resided for most of the time in Rome, and recently the immense quarters formerly held by the Augustinian order in the Ludovisi neighborhood have been purchased by the Jesuits, and it is here that the dele gates to the coming congregation are now rallying.- There are more than /,000 Jesuit fathers in the world today, covering every country on the face of the globe. Hence the importance at tached to the. election of a man to,driving snape-their policies and programs. BAD POOD AT PINK TEAS Chicago Inspector Told of Ice Cream FadThreatens Raids.

Blow to Insurance Companies. Special to The Journal. Chicago, Aug. 18.Much interest is expressed by insurance men in the ef fect of the South American earthquakes and the resulting conflagrations on the insurances situation created by the San Francisco disaster. United States com panies do business in South America, but a number of English and continen tal companies have long been operat ing there. If many of them were caught for'heavy losses, after their San Fran ciseo experience, it might result in re tirements, but they will depend upon the earthquake clauses in their pol icies. It is understood that the South Amer ican earthquake will tend to strengthen the companies which rely upon the earthquake clause in San Francisco, as it will serve to show the necessity for some such protection against a hazard not intended to be covered by fire in surance policies.

The north-and-south' movement was the heavier, the earth movement being over a quarter of an inch. Because of the admirable construc tion of buildings in Valparaiso, Mr. Vega is not inclined to believe that the loss of life has been heavy. Tho city is one of the most modern in South America and lacks the narrow streets and frail buildings which are common to so many cities in Latin America. INDIANS FEEL EARTHQUAKE Special to The Journal. Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 18.The Siou Indians residing on the Pine reservation, in western South Dakota, on several occasions during the past few weeks have been badly fright ened by distinct earthquake shocks thruout the reservation. Now the white people living in tho vicinity of White Clay Buttes, a freak eological formation situated north of he Pine Ridge reservation, are puzzled to account for a peculiar sound that ap pears to come from the earth in that region at short intervals. Those who have heard the sound describe it as re sejnbling the rumblings of an earth or a dormant volcano, but state that it is much more indistinct and isthe not accompanied by any vibrations or disturbances of the earth's surface. TAKES HOPEFUL VIEW Pittsburg, Aug. 18.Count Julian Segundo de Ovies, commissioner of commerce from the republic of Chile to Pittsburg, is inclined to believe the earthquake at Valparaiso was not so disastrous as reported. The count said, if the disaster was as serious as reported, the most beautiful portion of the city was prob ably.npw in ruins and countless lives lost. I twas his opinion that a heavy earthquake would also cause great dam age to the shipping along the coast. 295.00 225.00 220.00 175.00 90.00 MUSIO HOUSE, '^LZ'U^^l' elf! tn tory ft Piano Sale Segerstrom Piano Co. 804 Nicollet Avenue.
