obeyed the summons. Tie Pope was
brusque in his manner, and reproached
the cardinal for the act. Cardinal Ho-

the church was always desirable even

The Pope replied that the church did
not need Signor Crispi, and asked the
cardinal to make a statement efacing
the bad impression which his toast to
the Italian premier had created. Car
dinal Hohenlohe refused to promise
that he would make such a statement,
and the audience ended with both the |
Pope and the cardinal in bad temper.
