AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM
WHERE SHALL THE NEXT CON-
CLAvE BE HELD?
A Question of Great Interest to the Ital-
ian Government-The Church Digni-
taries Also Interested Observers-A
Foreign Pope Dreaded.

ROME, August 3.-Where shall the
next conclave be held? is the question
now being discussed in governmental
circles. The church dignitaries are in
terested observers. This question, it is
believed, will be the pivot Of the policy,
both OF the Italian government and of
the Vatican. There is good suthority
for the statement that the Italian gov
eminent has sent explicit instructions
70 its representatives abroad to prevent
the conclave from being held
away from Rome. It breads
above all things a foreign pope
and conclave away from the Eternal
City. All the Italian confidential nego-
tiations with the great powers are be-
)ieved to be inspired with, this dominate
ing idea that Italy will respect and safe
guard the liberty Of the conclave, and
StheJefore no nation should offer hospi-
fality to the sacred college, should the
cardinals decide tonhold the conclave
elsewhere than at Rome. The reason is
manifest. Should any change take
place, the government would find itself
confronted with an entirely new sitna-
tion. This would be unknown, and the
italian government fears the unknown.
The reopening of the pontifcal question,
morally and automatically, ecclesiast-
ically and politically, as it would be
opened, is what the Italian government
wishes to prevent at any price.

Tho Methodist Church Destroyed and
Two Men Injured.
PREscorr, Ariz., August 3.-Just after
services had commenced last night in
the Methodist church here large coal
oil lamp was burning too high. A mem
Der of the congregation attempted to
regulate the lamp, and in doing so the
lamp Of burning oil was upset ON the
carpet, causing confagration that
destroyed the church building, and re-
suited in the injury of several people.
Before the lamp was discovered it had
become 30 heated that the top was melt
ed of The burning oil was spilled on
the clothing of man named Sharp,
who was seated under it. He rushed
through the congregation with flames
running up his back higher
than his head. Several ladies
had narrow escape from having
their clothing ignited. Henry Evans was
considerably burned in assisting Sharp
to get his burning coat off. The latter's
back and head were seriously burned.
Several persons made their escape
through windows, among them being
the soprano member of the choir who
was slightly injured. No other casualty
happened, although panic occurred.
Egress through one door of the church
was prevented on account of the lamp
falling in the aisle Immediately in front
of it. The flames spread so rapidly that
only few seats in the rear OF the
church were saved.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Attorney General Hart Condemns the
New Execution Law.
SAN Francisco, August 3.-Attorney-
General Hart declares that the new law
providing that persons sentenced to be
hanged shall be executed in the state
prisons is unconstitutional. The new
act provides that the warden of the
prison shall be the executioner. The
warden receives his authority from the
prison directors, and the source Of their
power is the constitution. Consequently,
the attorney-general claims the legisla-
ture had no right to impose on the
warden a duty in excess of his legal OBJ
legations.
The encouragement has instituted a
suit affecting the salaries of officers in
several coupties of the state. Several
counties have established fixed salaries
for constables in excess of the fees form
ally received. This, he claims, is un-
constitutional.

Scheme From the Start.

ROME, August 3.-The recent inter-
view between President Harrison and
Cardinal Gibbons created interest here
as an indication of the Importance at
tached in America to the Cahensly
question. The pope, Cardinal Simeoni
and the chiefs OF the propaganda have
been much impressed with the declara-
tions of the president. The tributes OF
the American press to the wisdom of the
pope's decisions are also greatly appre-
ciated. The Holy See sincerely re-
grets that the friends of Ca
hensly have spread the report
that. Rome placed obstacles in the way
of his scheme. From the first, the prop
aganda declared to Cahensly that the
holy see would never accede to the de-
mands for national bishops. Cardinal
Simeoni and Monseigneur Persico both
assert that the Cahensly scheme will
never be accepted by the propaganda.
Never" they declare, ''will it accord
such prerogatives to immigrants. Ca
hensly committed q grave imprudence.
We can never enter upon such course"
