Because Parliament Would Not Change
the Antl-Cstholic Formula of the Ac-

Not Participate In Religious Ceremony.

Rome April SIN spite of the OPP
position of Cardinal Rampolla, the
pope has decided to send important
special missions both to the corona
ton of King Edward and the festivi-
ties in Spain attendant upon the en-
throning of King Alfonso. The car
dinals opposition to the sending of
the mission to England was based
on the fact that the British parlia-
ment did not change the anti-Catholic
formula of the accession oath, and
Mgr. Merry del Val, whom the pontiff
designed to be chief of the missions,
openly refused to go while the pres
ent wording of the oath is main
tanned. Nevertheless the mission will
be sent and will probably arrive in
London few hours after the relig-
ious ceremony. This will be a repe-
tition of the diplomatic Vancouver
carried out at the coronation of Car
Nicholas II, at Moscow.
The question of the advisability of
the papal mission to Spain was due
to the compromise effected by the
queen regent in nominating the Span
ish ambassador to the vatican as her
representative at the pope's jubilee.
Under ordinary circumstances II royal
prince would have been appointed but
he would have been obliged to also

this morning releasing from the pen.

serving a term for murder of man
in Galena. Norton was sentenced by
Judge Sapp OF the court of common
pleas from Cherokee and Crawford
counties.
The supreme court afterwards de.
clared this court unconstitutional
because the proposition Of its adop.
ton was submitted to a vote of the
people and a majority of the votes
cast did not favor it. The court
holds that sentences imposed by the
court were void and effect of the d,
cision will be to release from the pen

who were sentenced by Sapp
