Figuratively swats the Gear.

Rome, Dec. 15.--Thc text of the Pope's
allocution at yesterdays consistory is
published today.
The Pope referred to the fact that the
Vatican was not invited to send a repre-
sentative to the peace congress at the
Hague, an omission, he said, that had
been ''censured by all impartial judges.
The Gar he continued, invited the rep
resentatives of the most powerful nations
with view of establishing peace. Yet
there was none more worthy of an invi-
tation than the Pope who had endeavor-
ed to obtain and to make peace, and to
prevent conflict-an office which by the
divine viii, was within the attributes OF
the Papacy.
The Holy See had desired a place in
that conference, continued the Pontiff.
One voice had obstinately opposed itself
TO this desire and had gained the point.
1t was the voice of these who. with the
conquest of Rome, had deprived the Pope
of his powers.
