of Germany's remonstrance to the Vati-
can. Not long ago it was asserted
that In certain not unlikely
contingency the triple alliance might
insist on the choice of pontlff
who would be acceptable to the great
European powers, and ltaly's resent
ment of any attempt at dictatlon of this
nature found expression in the official
uation has materially changed, and the
prevalent feeling seems to favor cordial
relations. n'this new aspect Rampolla,
being lingo in Vatican politics, might
not be wholly available, although still
formidable candidate.
Cardinal Seraphin Vanutelli, although
somewhat older than Rampolla, is still
in the prime of life, having been born
i'll 1884. He lacks the aggressive quail
ties Of RampOlia and the administrative
ability of San Felice; but, in some cir
cumstances, the absence of these quail
ties might be all element of positive
strength. In any event, it can be truth
fully said of Vanutelli that he is an
amiabIe, kindly-natured man, disposed
to liberalism, but not EXCEPTIONALLY so.
and he is, however, one who seems able
to lnfuSe in others the same spirit Of
cheerful liberalitGy he himself pos
Sesses. AS compromise candidate he
would quickly find favor were the
stronger and more positive men once
set aside.

lean being chosen to succeed Pope Leo

able 10 help them. But he is very old,
and-a still more serious obstacle in
some minds-he is liberal! Yet, in
spite of these disadvantages, he is east
ly the leader of the sacred college and
the most available selection for the pros
pective vacancy.
Cardinal Mariana Rampolla del Tin
daro IS much younger than San Felice,
having been born in 1S43, and created
a cardinal only five years ago. In the
comparatively few years of his official
life he has distinguished himself in no
ordinary measure by his able opposition
to the influence of Germany and other
foreign powers which sought to an
tagonize the church. AS secretary of
state for the Vatican he has not hest
tated to emphasize at every opportunity
this policy of the integrity of the holy
see, and has, in consequence, excited
the antipathy of Germany in particu-
lar, and the triple alliance in general.

the latter died, the young churchman,
not quite forty-three years of aye, was
made archbishop of the premier Ameri-

TWO c0ntending factions, one represent

smaller - the foreign element. The
Italian cardinals have taken the initla-

TO appoint no new foreign cardinals,

The Whole Catholic World Is Again Vigorously

SHALL THE PoNTIFICATE LEAVE ROME?
A Foreign Pope Not Considered Among the Proba-

The approach of the next papal con-
Iistory, when thirteen new cardinals are

question which for several years past
has been agltating the Roman church,
rs to the succession of the present
Oontiff. Shall the glory of the pontifi-

ander foreign control, and Is the har-
mony of the almost unbroken line of
Italian pOpes to be disturbed by the seat

In America" said San Felice, "they
are far ahead of Italy in many things
as far ahead as the electricity they use
is ahead OF our common candles"
If the Cardinal San Felice showed
this appreciation of American character
two years ago, he certainly seems to
have emphasized it at at the present
time, for it is probably due more to his
influence than anything else that pres
sure to prevent the further appointment
of foreigners to the cardinalate has been

who are able to speak auth0rtiyely say
that the good old cardinal is himself the
most likely of all the candidates to be

IS probably the reason of his special

early in the forenoon. a violet, silk
curtain is hung across the hail., and
alongside the walls are arranged the
elevated seats or thrones OF the cardi-
nails, each seat being covered with a
canopy which can be raised or
lowered at will. In the middle Of the
room is large table. Fronting each
cardinals seat. and also in tie middle
of the room. are tables with writing
materials. At one end OF the hall is an
altar, and before it is table on which
are two silver bowls to hold the ballots.
There are various forms OF carrying out
the election, bat those generally re-

indeed any one other than the cardi-

three more. whose duty it is to receive
the votes of such cardinals as may be

the senior cardinal and then the others
in the order of their rank take ballots

and sit down at the central tables and
fill them out in writing. Then, holding
the folded ballot up between finger and
thumb, each proceeds III turn to the
altar, and kneeling, takes solemn oath
before God that he chooses the person
