RcMr. Dec. 10 The Sun correspondent
has Sood reason for stating that negotiations
are proceeding between the Vatican and the
italian royal family for the removal OF tho
ban or accommodation placed upon the
Quirinal palace by Pope Plus TX. and re-
newed by Leo XIII. because tho Quirnal
was stolen from the Holy See Tho present
Pope. IL Is understood. is willing to remove
tho ban on condition that tho Quirinal shall
not be the living place OF any Italian Prince.
This condition is easy. because as matter
Of fact no King or Queen Of Italy has lived
In the Quirinal for long timo. but In wing
or amer which never formed part Of the
Qurina and consequently WAS not placed
under the ban with the main building. The
latter has practically been closed except
on occasions Of official receptions. Moreover
the young King contemplates building an
entirely new palace in the Ludovici quarter
OF tho city. Then the Quirlnal will be COM
pletely abandoned and II will not be sur
prisins II II Is handed back to the Holy See.
This widowed Queen Margherit win after
all live In Rome. having decided upon life
OF active beuevolence ss more acceptable
as y form OF penance and mourning than a
conventual life. She has bought the mag
nifcent Piombino palace with the adjacent
villa and thres pavilions. Shs hopes TO
make the palace veritable centre OF artistic
and literary life and to make Rome the homo
Of another renaissance. II IL pretty well
known that Queen MarRherlt, Is q woman
of tho finest culture and Is passionately de-
voted TO literature. music ana tie fine arts.
she has written poetry, has composed
good deal OF music and has n collection OF
paintings from her own brush. Her present
ambition Is to devote her time and money
TO the intellectual culture and the artistic
development OF her own country. She has
announced that she will devote halfh fort
,lne to this work. the other half being set
aside for charity. She received under King
Humbert's will about 81. 100000 and the State
makes her a Queen Dowager's allowance OF
s?0O. eco a year. She has already specifically
set apart $4,000 a year to assist and reward
young workers In literature and science and
art Recently she personally consulted with
a number OF representative Italians includ-
ing such composers as MascaSni. Puccini.
Conceivable. Giordano and Boito: with the
poets Canducci. d'Annunzio. Pascoli. the
novelists Nerga and Fosazzaro. and the
artists Moreli. Monteverde and Aimenes.
1t Is needless to say that all enthusiastically
approved her design and promised their
assistance In its execution.
