The Pope's Future.

ROME, July 24.-One of the principal rea-

the last secret Consistory was that he had
received communications from France urg-

establishment of temporal power in Rome.
The Holy Father told theCardlnals assembled
from France because he would not leave
Rome except at the last moment, as in case
of war in which Italy would be implicated
and which consequently would put his per-
son in danger, but he would never leave if
his doing so would be the means of France
whom from the bottom of his heart he wish
every good.

the Money,

WASHINGTON. July 24.-Among the pa

committee on foreign relations resulted in
report just before the 50th Congress ad-
journed, sustaining the plea and recommend
ing the passage of bill to secure retrial.
