THE NEXT POPE.
What the Italian Government Thinks
OF the Vatican Election.

What the Italian Government Thinks
OF the Vatican Election.
The Franco Italian Correspondence OF Rome,
speaking Of the policy OF the great lay Powers
during the election OF Pic Nono's successor,
says
1t Is quite true that, on the initiative OF the
Cabinet OF Berlin, semi-ofiicIal exchange of
ideas TOOK place before and alter the publication
OF the Bull In the Cologne Gazette, between Ger
many, Austro-Hungary and Italy, in reference to
the more or less near vacancy IN the Holy see But
we can contradict in the most formal manner, at
least as regards the Roman Cabinet, that any ac-
cord was established, or could be, between
those three Powers on that grave subject.
While admitting that the peace OF the
world might be endangered by the
future POntifcal election, the Italian government
decided upon not following Germany in the pre-
ventve measures she proposes, and categOrcaily
refuses to pledge Itself by collective declaration
not to recognize Pope elected under other con-
ditions than those which have hitherto been
adopted.
The thesis sustained by Italy In those diplomatic
interchanges OF views-a doctrine which appears
to be approved by the Vienna gOvernment--is that
the suppression OF the temporal power has re-
moved from all States any reason for interfering
with the conclave, and that the successor OF Plus
TX, who. as King, would have fallen under the
governmental action OF Europe, reduced to the
part OF Pontif, can only interest Catholic con-
sciences those latter alone having the qualification
to decide as to the legitimacy OF the choice and the
chosen.

OFFICIAL CORRUPTION IN ERIE.

Steadily On-How the Erie Company
Has Bee n Victimizcd.

Has Been Vfctimizcd.
The investigation into the misconduct Of en-
poyes, chiefly bosses and foremen, OF the Erie
Railway Company still progresses and every
day brings to light some new act OF rascaity or
dishonesty. Three OF the bosses were discharged
last week. and three times three in the vicinity OF
the depot at jersey City stand in great danger.
The offences established against many of them
render them liable not only to dismissal, but to
indictment, and 1T is the determination OF Vice
President Clarke to bring his officers, when the
proper time arrives and make a swOop on all the
deiaulters. The meanest and most heartless Of
the charges against certain fOremen is that they
levied upon the poorest class Of laborers fees
OF $40 and even $40 in consideration OF giving
them empoy ment This has become so
common practice that regular monthly
percentages have been exacted by several
foremen from their subordnates. A statement
was submitted yesterday TO representative OF

THE WATCH HILL COLLISION

The Propeller Doris Not Yet Heard
From-Uneasiness to Her Fate
The Extent OF tho Injuries Of the
Steamer Newport.
NEWPORT, R. l.. Feb. 8, 1874.
As announced In the HERALD Of Sunday the
chors Of the steamer Empire State were ioued,
and in addition to the extra work OF getting her
ready she was delayed until ten O'Clock this morn
ing. She will not be able to reach her dock at New
York until tomorrow morning, as it will be dark
before she reaches He'll Gate. She cannot go
through without a pilot, and consequently will be
obliged to await daylight. No news has been re =
ceved as to the arrival OF the propeller Doris at
any port. and some uneasiness is felt as to her
safety.
Examination by divers Will be made tomorrow
of the extent OF the injuries Of the steamer New
port. Should 1t be found that she Is more damaged
than it is supposed under water, she Will be
obliged TO go to New York TO be taken on the dry
dock; otherwise she Will be repaired here. From q
rough estimate OF the VIEWPOINTS injuries 1t is
thought that $1oo 600 will be required repair the
damages.
Employees are very reticent in regard to the col
