dence to be produced which could con-
vince him that the bond was good one.

ROME, June S.-The Pope to-day re-

secret. Mr.. ErringtOn had a copy before
the Bishops received theirs and he com
municated to the Government and the
London Times. The English party in
Rome, which has been very influential at
the Vatican, is in dismay at the Pope's
emphatic refusal to give an audience to
Mr.. ErrngtOn. 1t is reported that Mr..
Errington will at once leave Rome for
