THE VATICAN.
ROME. Nov. 22.--The pope followed with
the liveliest attention the recent presiden-
tial struggle in the United States. He
had special reports concerning the prog
ress Of the campaign and the result of the
election sent to him. His holiness has no
| special sympathy with either of the great
American parties, but his sympathy and
| admiration of the United States makes
him desirous of knowing all Of the devel-
| opments of the republic
| La Rassegena Rationale, the great po-
| liticat review OF Florence, has an article
attacking the democratic policy of the
pope. The Rassegena asserts. and gets
| angry over its belief, that this change in
| the Vatican policy will end In the selection
| of an American pope.
| The Vatican is well satisfied with the
| results of Italian elections, because in the
| great towns, out OF the total or possi bic
| voters, only fifth or Il fourth have gone
| to the polls. This indifference of the
electoral body is the best Justification o.
| the pope's tactics, and proves that, with
| out peace being made with the Vatican.
the political life of Italy has become
| sterile.

| pope being i'll seem to arise from two
cases-1rSt, that he Is wont TO seclude
himself in order to work more at his ease,
and. next, that his death is desired by all
those to whom his democratic and re-
publican tendencies are obnoxious. All
rumors that he is ailing should be held
doubtful At present he enjoys good health.

of work which are simply astonishing.
His doctors, his domestic attendants and
others with whom he is in daily contact
marvel over his vitality. his alertness of
mind and body ''He will live many years
yet," said one who daily sees him. For
mum Der of weeks past, since the lntense
heat of the summer passed away, he has
worked particularly hard. One is aston
ished to learn that this old man, after
sleeping only three hours III the nigat, can
devote tbs rest OF the day to business or to
intellectual work.
