For four days the Sacred college has
been weighing the claims of the best
qualified candidates, The 30 Italian
cardinals who sit in the sacred college
are said to hold different opinions in
regard to the attitude the next pope
! should maintain toward the quirlnal.
Phe p foreign cardinals of the Sac
red college are also divided on the
question of protectorate over Roman
Catholics in the Holy Land, which has
been so eagerly discussed since Emper-
or Williams Wis t there last autumn.
The German and Austrian cardinals
are resolutely opposed to France con-
tinuing to monopolize such protection,
while the French and Spanish cardinals
insist upon maintaining 1t.
In ecclesiastical circles here the
opinion is that the two most likely
successors TO Leo XIII. are Cardinal
Satolli, who. in the conclave would
have the votes of at least 10 Italian
cardinals, besides those of more than
half of the foreign cardinals, and Car
dinal Gibbons, whom French and Ger
man cardinals are willing to support
rs compromise on the Holy Land
protectorate question. 1t is believed
many Italian cardinals would accord
their suilrages to Gibbons, not only on
account Of the enlightened character OF
the archbishop Of Baltimore, and with
a view TO strengthening the growth Of
Catholicism in the United States by
