LONDON. Oct. 9.-The Pope was engaged for a

he is spiritually all right, while his successor.
Senior Puigccrver. is in the extremely uncom-
Portable position of being under the awful ban
for the acts OF his predecessor. AS the new
Minister is understood to be devout son OF the
Church. he must feel his position acutely. Yet.
strange to say. he shows no disposition to hurry
up and reverse ehor Reverter's decision in re-
gard to the Church sanctuary, and 1t is even ru-
mored IN Madrid that the Minister OF Finance,
and the Cabinet generally, is not disnclined to
fight the militant Prince Of the Church to the
