potatoes has advanced $1 a barrel. Theri
la a more active demand and from 12,uu0
to 15,000 barrels are leaving here dally.
The truckers here havo an urgent demand
for potatoes because this country \"> the
greatest source of supply. The potatoes
of Long Island began to go into market

?upply the demand, and the produce deal?
ers of New York turn here again.
TO EXTERMINATE TUBERCULOSIS
The health department of the city has
determined to provide pure, or at least
? safe milk. The department gained a sig?
nal victory over the dairymen In obtain?
ing the favorable decision of the courts
to Impose taxes on the dairy business.
The health department wished the su?
pervision of the business for the purpose
of preventing the spread of tubercle
from diseased cows. The dairymen op?
posed It because it gives tho authority to
kill their herds if diseased. The tax to
be Imposed Is 50 cents a year for every
cow In the herd and $2 for each milk
dealer who sell or bring milk iu the
city. The health department will send an
expert to Inspect tho herds and the milk.
Cows will be tested for tuberculosis by
Jiyperdermic injections. If fever results
the cow will bo suspected of having tu?
bercles, and if other symptoms develop
in proof of that suspicion she will be
killed. The best authorities maintain that
tubercles are communicated from the I
milk of cows affected by that pestiferous
disease to the persons, especially to tho
children who drink the milk. The health
department will try to prevent that. ,
MUTINY AT SEA.
Victor Swanson, of the crew of the
United States cutter Blake, was arrested
this afternoon on the charge of mutiny
at sea. The charge is that he refused to
obey orders and assaulted an officer. He
Is a Swede by birth and was brought
here on the Blake to-day to be held for
trial.
FIFTEEN YEARS.
The negro, James Stewart, accused of
criminally assaulting Plnkey Johnson
(colored), aged ten years, was found
guilty in the Corporation Court and sent-,
enced to serve fifteen years In the peni?
tentiary for a crime the extreme pen?
alty of which is death. The mother ?if
the child was the chief witness against
Stewart, but the child's testimony was
conclusive.
A TICKET CHOPPED.
The maddest man who has struck
Portsmouth recently was Mr. John
Smith, of San Francisco, on bis way
home from New York. He had a ticket
used only thus far. and when the boy
ordered him to drop In his ferry ticket
this morning he dumped about $50 worth
of folded green paper Into the maw of
the ticket chopper. The wheel did Its
work well, and Mr. Smith's ticket looked
like a well masticated piece of goat fod?
der when it was rescued from the ma?
chine which destroys the tickets. The
Seaboard Air Line officials provided him
with a new ticket, for his old one looked
as though the International Convention
vt Railway Conductors had punched It
once for ev'?ry delegate.
LOSFS HIS LICENSE.

WILMINGTON, VA.. July 9.?A pri?

Fluvanna has only one candidate in the

Buckingham aiid Charlotte each having
a candidate orbits own, it would seem
that whoever c-jLn get. the endorsatlon of

chance of capturing the nomination.
Fluvanna has a number of candi?

MADISON, VA., July 9.?There are no

murder of Mrs. Benjamin Lowry. Tlie
officers so far have no clues to work on.
The county supervisors Monday last dis?

murderer. The Governor has offered an
additional reward of $100, and the vic?
tim's .relatives and neighbors have raised
$150 for the same purpose.
If there Is a speedy trial of the mur?
derer. In case he Is apprehended, It is not

POSSIBLE
SUCCESSORS
Points of Strength and Weak?
ness In Candidates.
AS VIEWED IN WASHINGTON
Political Complications in Europe Will
Affect the Prospects of Some of
the Most Prominent Cardinals
of the Church.
WASHINGTON. July O.-In every Chris?
tian capital the absorbing question of tho
hour Is, "Who will be the next Pope?"
Washington is deeply Interested, and
probably to a greater extent than at
anv other time In the history of tho na?
tion, for the United States was outgrow?
ing Its swaddling clothes in tho nine?
teenth century when tho other recent
conclaves were held.
ecclesiastically, Baltimore, the homo of
Cardinal Gibbons and the mother see of
the powei'ful American hierarchy, is espe?
cially interested. This Is reflected here at
the Catholic University of America, which
Pope Leo desired to have made (ho alma
mater of Catholic learning In this coun?
try, and at tho Papal Legation, where
the Popo Is personally represented.
Politically, tho American government Is
Interested as never before In the election
of a Pontiff, on account of the church
problems In the Philippines; Italy on ac?
count of tho emphasis with which the
successor of Leo will urge his claims upon
temporal power: France, on account of
thu conflict with tho Vatican over tho
religious orders which have just been ex?
pelled; Germany, on account of the Kai?
ser's desire to supplant France In the
favor of tho Roman curia; England, on
account of the Irish questions, and Aus?
tria-Hungary for equally" potent reasons.
NEW MEN AND A NEW CENTURY.
The political history of Europe In the
nineteenth century could not be correctly
written without reference to Leo XIII.
That of the twentieth Is sure to bo
woven with the web nnd woof of his
successor's life. Born five years before
tho battle of Waterloo, Leo XIII. has out?
lined all the great statesmen of Europe
who were his contemporaries?Beacons
field, Gladstone. Bismarck, Crisp? and
even- the queenly stateswoman. Victoria
of England?with the single exception of
Lord Salisbury, who is in retirement. Li
Hung Chang has been lost to China, and
only Marquis Ito lingers In Japan as ono
of tho few really great men of his time.
Half a dozen American Presidents, In?
cluding Lincoln, were contemporaries of
Leo. His successor will have to do with
men at present in their prime or only now
beginning to mellow into maturity and
with affairs springing out of the com?
plex political, sociological and ecclesias?
tical questions of a new epoch.
All the great political conflicts of the
world find an echo In the Sacred Col?
lege. Thero are wearers of the coveted
red hat and Papal electors who are
friends of the Dual and opponents of the
Triple Alliance, and others who are vice
versa. Tho college contains conservatives
and progressives, Intransigeants and ul
tromontanes. those who favor as well as
those who oppose an emphatic declaration
of the Pontifical claim to temporal
power, as well as thoso who take sides
In the question of so-called Americanism.
In spite of the fact that he no longer
lives in the Vatican as king, hut only as
Bishop of Rome, the Pope is more power?
ful than any earthly sovereign. Since this
is true, It Is not to be wondered that men
In Washington who havo to do with ques?
tions In which other powers are Inter?
ested are Indulging in lively speculation.
Those familiar with Roman Catholic
history realize that any forecast would
be mero conjecture and as foolhardy aa
attempting to see behind tho veil of Isis.1
What the cardinals, Individually or col?
lectively, do not know when they are
themselves the Papal electors, cannot be
part of tho knowledge of either Rome
or Washington. Nearly every calculation
runs Into the old proverb about tho one
who enters the conclave as Pope emerg?
ing as cardinal:
"Esee dal conclave cardinale, chl vl
entra papa."
MAY GO TO PROVINCIAL BISHOP.
Without any attempt to settle the mat?
ter, It Is perhaps Interesting to note some
of the reasons advanced In behalf of the
respective candidrates. It not Infrequently
happens that a provincial bishop carries
off the victory. Plus IX was Bishop of
Imola and Leo XIII Bishop of Perugia
when they succeeded to the throne. This
leads some to think tho chances are in
favor of tho bishop of some Italian pro?
vince. In this connection It. Is Interesting
to note that there are three In the Sacred
College?C'apecelntro, of Capua; Svnmpa,
of Bologna, and Cardinal-Archbishop
Rlchelmy, of Turin (created cardinal In
1S9S), who holds one of tho most distin?
guished ecclesiastical positions In tho
country.
In Washington It Is generally believed
the future ropo will be one of the sixty
nine members of the Sacred College.
Since the reign of Stephen III the Popes
have been Invariably chosen from among
the cardinals, except under peculiar cir?
cumstances, when Cardinal-Regent
Oreglla occupies the throne In the con?
clavo he will chant the Inter Nos Est
(lie. Is nniong us) as the cardinals march
by him.
One point upon which emphasis Is
placed Is the fact that Mgr, Oreglta Is
the only cardinal living who ever sat In
conclave. Until a few years tgn tho
Polish Cardinal Ledochowskl, and until
little more than a year ago Cardinal
Parocehl, two others who served In the
conclave which elected Tope Loo, wore
living.
All the other cardinals were elevated by
Leo XI1I and owe their seats In the con?
clave to his will. Ordinarily It is thought
by some that this should have somo effect
upon tho complexion of the. college. On
the other hand, It Is pointed out. that the
machinery of the conclave is such that
every member may follow tho dictates of
his own conscience In the freest possible
manner. Ono cardinal does not even know
how the other votes. The ballots are
burned. v.
LEADING MEN IN VIEW.
Whether, as some vagary of public opin?
ion or otherwise, It Is believed In Wash?
ington that the next Pope will be one of
the following list: Gotti, Sernfino Vannu
telll, Rampolla. Oreglla, Satolll, Martlnelll,
Cepecelatro, Vives y Tuto or Svampa.
Cithers whose names are mentioned are
Riholdl. RlsfllghJ. f-arto' Fa--rr.rl and
Gibbons.
An analysis of opinions narrows the list
down to Gottl, Rampolla, Vannutelll,
Oreglla and Martlnelll or Satolll. Those
whose names have been discussed are
Gottl, Rampolla and Vannutelll, with
Gottl as the favorite.
Cardinal Gottl has tho famous Malachi
nn prophecy In his favor. Aside frorn pre?
dictions, ho is. however, a man of great
strength mid Influence In the College of
Cardinals. In Washington his chief ele?
ment of strength I? regarded as bis con
??! latory nature, but some hold, that this
very quality would lose him votes. It is
'thought tho most far-seeing cardinals be?
lieve Ix-o'a successor will find It essential
U> walk In Le/s. footsteps, and will vole,
with that end in view, Gottl is regarded
here as eminently frunllflnd to do that.
Ills selection, like that of Mnrtlnelll or
Gibbons, would be eminently satisfactory,
It Is thought, to the American Govern?
ment, as well na the hierarchy. He is one
of the cardinals, other than Cardinal Gib?
bons, who knows American conditions
Ills service as internuncio in Brazil after
the abdication of Emperor Dom Pedro
brought him into close contact with the
Western Hemisphere. In Brazil ho suc?
cessfully solved a problem similar to that
of the. Philippines.
NEGOTIATED WITH TAFT.
Mgr. Gottl was a member of the com?
mission appointed by the Pope to treat
with Governor Taft ?n the friars nucsuon
In 1902, and his position of Prefect or tne
Propaganda, which has supervision or tne
Church In missionary countries l|kP \n?
United States, has given him, since) his
elevation to that position In .'"'V 'ns
yc-ar, an additional 12 months' Insight mo
American customs. In 1881. he became
general of the Order of Barefoot ' ;l,m^"
Hies, and as such visited this country, ne
sides spending much time In England' ire
land and other European countries, wnere
there nro houses of the order, before rer
signing from tho generalship, i" ';-'-' ?
undertake his special mission to Hraaii.
Much stress Is laid here upon the sig
nlllcant little cablegram of only a few
lines from Rome, which stated that Car?
dinal Gottl spent a long time In confer?
ence with Cardinal Rampolla on Sunday.
Some of the dispatches would ?-eem to
ind?cale that opposition to the election of
Rnmpolla Is growing among ,,:n cardi?
nals already In Rome. It In pointed out
that If this be true Rampolla may have
effected a compromise to throw whit
elements of strength ho possessed toward
Gottl, after realizing that he has no
chance In the balloting. It Is also sug?
gested that In the event of the election
of Gottl tho post of Prefect of
tho Propanganda will bo vacant and that
the office of Cardinal Secretary of State,
now filled by Rampolla, becoming vacant
with the death of Leo, Its present occu?
pant may be appointed Prefect of the
Propaganda in appreciation of his aid
to Gottl In tho conclave. Next to tha
Secretaryship of State the ofllce of Pre?
fect of the Propanganda Is one of the
most Important within the gift of the
Pope.
RAMPOLLA A' MASTER MIND.
Rampolla has /long been regarded 'n
Washington as the master mind of the
College of Cardinals. A horn diplomat,
and for more than a decade Secretary of
State, ho has handled the most Intricate
problems "In a masterly manner, turned
crisis of ovents toward proper channels
and so molded men, affairs and conditions
that he is termed the "Napoleon of tho
Vatican." He has always been consoled
eligible to the Papacy, with exceedingly
strong chances of election.
An*analysls of his elements of strength
and weakness Is somewhat difficult His
position as State Secretary, like the posi?
tion which Representative Joseph Cannon
held as chairman of the Appropriation
Committee In-Congress, necessarily made
for him many opponents. The later,
nevertheless, won his contest for the
speakershlp, and this is cited as a parallel
by some who think Rampolla will succeed
in tho ambition of his llfo to mount tho
throna o? Peter.
Many years the Papal Nuncio to Spain,
his pro-Spanish sympathies are said to
have been decidedly shown during th?
Spanish-American war. The fact that he
has? openly opposed the Triple Alliance
Is considered a source of weakness, Jm.t
as his position as an almost uncompro?
mising intransigeant Is regarde 1 an ele?
ment of strength. A majority of th*? forty
Italian cardinals are said to bo Intransi?
geants, or extreme opponents to tho
pretensions of the Italian g .'vernment.
Tho Italian cardinals are divided into
many camps of opinion. While most ad?
vocate tho downfall of tho Kingdom of
Italy, several are openly otherwise. Che
Italian Liberals, who always hope for
conciliation between church and State,
aro believed to favo? Gottl rather than
Rampolla.
ATTITUDE OF SPAIN AND FRANCE.
It Is thought that most of the six Span?
ish cardinals will favor Rampolla as their
advocate of the re-establlshment of tho
temporal power. It Is difficult to Judge
the French cardinals on account of the
unsettled conditions between France and
the Vatican. If It is true that Rampolla
believes In an ultra republican policy In
France, It Is not possible that he will re?
ceive any favor from the French bishops,
and all of the French cardinals are. arch?
bishops?Richard, of Paris; Coulllo, of
Lyons; Laboure, of Rennes; Lagonleux,
of Rheims; Lecot. or Bordeaux; Mathieu,
of Bordeaux, and Berraud, of Auton.
The majority of the French archbishops
aro said to favor almost any other form
of government than the republic, and
many French clericals are said to hold
Rampolla Tesponslble for the waning
Influence of Catholicism In the present
political circles of France.
It has been alleged that Cardinal Rnm?
polla had much to do with the selection
of new memhers of the college by Pope
Leo Xni. This Is not regarded seriously
in Washington. The Pontiff has been
considered ns always supremo. All who
know and have seen the Pope declare
emphatically that, the power of his will
has been sufficient at all timos to over?
come even a. master mind like that of
Rampolla. Pope Leo's Intellectual force
and spiritual power have surprised even
tho most skeptical who have been re?
ceived by him In audience. The most
remarkable feature of his present Ill?
ness In the minds of many has been his
wonderfully lucid intellect nnd the power
ho still wlolds over all around him, al?
though physically worn and wasted.
OREGLTA FAVORED BY JESUITS.
Cardinal Oreglla is regarded as the fav?
orite candidate of the Jesuits. His age?
seventy-five years-Is partly against him,
although young cardinals stand loss
chance. The fact that ho Is cardinal
camarlengo may be an element of
strength. Leo X.TII was Ruch when
elected. Oreglla received a vote at tho
last conclave, and may receive tho votes
of some of the Intransigeants during the
coining conclave. Two of his brothers
held places as Jesuits on the staff of tho
"fivllta Catloltca." nnd another as con?
fessor at the Gesu Church, In Rome.
