ROME, November 24.-Tns consist

January next will be the browning
event OF his jubilee, and perhaps, as he
told a prelate the other day, his tesla
ment.
at this COnsistory His Holiness will

One Italian Cardinal will also be
nominated-viz., Mgr. Fausti, who oc-
cupieS the position Of aditoTs santissi-
mo, and an Austrian Cardinal, Mgr.
Dop~plebauer, Bishop Of Lentz, former
~ rector of the Austrian College at
Rome, and a persona grata alike to the
Emperor Francis Joseph and to the
Pope.
When these promotions are complete
the number Of Cardinals will stand as

For the first time during many years

seventy members, will be complete.
LEO XIII. s HEALTH.
Within the past few days there has
been a slight Improvement in the health
of the Pope. Nevertheless those around
him are anything but treasured respect
ing him. His weakness continues. Every
morning his medical attendant enYelops
his entire body with wadding In the
form of Swathes or bandages, as though
he was an infant. Ii is only by precau-
tions Of this kind that his life is pro-
lonRed.
THE CONCLAvE.
Several OF the European Powers, who
are we'll Informed as to the condition OF
His Holiness, are directing their atten-
tiOn to the next cOnclaye. 1t is asserted
that this question was discussed at the
recent Interview between King Hubert
and Count kalnOky.
An interesting little work on this sub
iect will shortly be published in Italian.
It is inspired by Cardinal HOhenlohe
and possibly also by the German gov
eminent. IL Will be therein stated
that the three Cardinals, who are looked
uUon as the most likely candidates for
the succession, are Cardinal Dusmet,
Archbishop OF Catania; Cardinal Cape
celatro, Archbishop of Capau, and Car
dinal Serafno, residing in Rome.
TOO OLD FOR THE TRIPLE CROWN.
Imay remark in connection with this
statement that Cardinal Dusmet is sew
enty-fve years OF age, and that 1t Is
consequently doubtful whether the
Sacred College will fall on so old a man.
As to the two others, they are both
very likely candidates, especially Car
dInal Nannutelli. Although neither
OF them is hostile to France, it is GER
tain that neither OF them will continue
the marked leaning TO a FrancO.Rus-
sian policy which prevails under Leo
NH.
A number Of French bishops are In
Rome a5 the present moment, among
them being the Archbishop OF Cambria,
the Archbishop Of Sens, the Bishop Of
Seez and the Bishop Of C~outances.
FAITHFUL TO TIE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
In his interview with these p%relates
Leo Nil. has renewed his assurances
that he will make no change in his at
titude toward tho French Republic,
and that he FIRMLY believes in the tri-
umph OF its policy. One Of the bishops
recently stated that in spite Of the de-
feat of the 'railies" the Pope is more
reDublican than ever.
