correspondent that the Pantheon dis
turbances. when the Italian populace
mobbed tho French pilgrims because
one of them insulted the royal family,
will have tho most serious consequences
for Italy, for the Vatican, and for the
situation in general. The relations be-
tween Italy and tho Pope, between the
faithful and Rome, an perhaps between
the State and the Vatican, will certainly
be seriously modified.
"Will the Pope leave Romeo" asked
the correspondent.
Nothing is yet decided" answered
the cardinal, "but everything is ready
for such step. Since Oct. the
ecclesiastical world has been partly
prepared for such measure"
Signor Rudini had long interview
with tho king yesterday, and subse-
quently cabinet council was held. 1t
is believed that the Pope's proposition
to leave Rome is causing the Italian
government great uneasiness, and that
the king and premier have been discuss
ing it. The government, however, has
expressed no willingness to make oven
the slightest concession in the direction
of augmenting the temporal iurisdic-
ton of the Rope beyond tho Vatican

The collateral was not for the city's nc
count but for the personal account. He
knew they had helped the Keystone in
various amounts, from $4,000 TO $50, 600,
but professed not to known that II was to
meet any emergency in view of visit
from the bank examiner. When asked
why he discounted for Mr., Bardsley long
before he had any account there President
Kennedy said:
II felt that he was a good man to keep
in with. He was an influential man"
The younger Kennedy, who is cashier,
told how they sent the interest on the
state money the first of each month in an
envelope carried by messenger. The
$4,000 collateral was sent on the day of
the closing of the bank in spite of the fact
Of Bardsley's long standing discount of a
$4,000 note. President Motley of the
Manufacturers National Bank, swore to a
similar arrangement to pay Bardsley three
per cent and afterward two per cent on the
state money deposited in his own name.
Of half dozen other bankers called to the
witness chair all but one admitted that
they had long discounted Bardsleys single
paper, which had been regularly renewed
in course of years. The disclosures will
be greatly facilitated by the fact that
