after the Popc's death. The veil was re-
moved at 0 ?. ~, possibly from . vain
desire 10 conceal the event. The
barracks surrounding the vatican are
crowded with troops. This precaution 10
s%uperfluous, a. no other movement than

people. The fanJ~siia positively announ.
ces that tho Pope died at 5:45 ?. NJ, while
Q Reuter- telegram says 4:57. A special

peared dead TO all but his physicians. who
