THE PoPE's PRESENTS.
Delicate Question Regarding Their
Reception.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-Governor
Taft has acquainted Secretary Root
with the fact reported in the news dis
patches from Rome that the pope had
rendered several pretty and appropri-
ate gifts to himself and the members
of his party, and he has asked wheth-
er these can lawfully be accepted.
1t was at once recognized that the
question thus presented involved some
very delicate and interesting points,
principal among them being a possible
decision expressly 70 be avoided at
this stage. in the opinion of the Off
cials-as to the temporal powers of the
pope.
III these We're decorations or gifts of
large value, then under the constitu-
tional inhibition they might not be re
ceiyed without the authority of CON
gress if the pope is regarded as having
temporal power--as being a prince, a
potentate or sovereign.
Secretary Root has. however. avoid
ed an unpleasant decision of this ques-
ton by informing Governor Taft that
if these gifts are not of considerable
intrinsic value and are personal in
character they may be accepted as
mere souvenirs. in which case the per-
sonality Of the giyer need not be
matter of official inquiry.
On the other hand. if the gifts are of
exceptional value, which is not be-
lieved to be the case from the news
paper reports, then they may be de-
posted in the Smithsonian institution
in this city.

ports sent out by the correspondents of
certain London papers to the effect that
the pontiff was displeased with the
manner of acting of the commission of
cardinals appointed to treat with Gov
ernor Taft We're absolutely unfounded.
AS stated in this mornings Roman dis
patches, the pontiff assured Governor
Taft that he was most satisfied and
happy at the results so far obtained
and that he was confident the negotia-
tons begun in Rome would be the
starting point of a complete and salts
factory solution of the question under
discussion. This statement sums up in
the most exact manner the situation as
the Vatican views it and as it really is.
''That the negotiations have not yet
reached final conclusions and are to be
transferred from Rome to Manila is
what might have been expected from
the beginning. Governor Taft is in a
hurry to return to the Philippines and
could pot prolong his stay in Rome,
and ON the other hand, the problems
to be solved are so complicated, espe-
cially from the Vatican standpoint that
time in the work is of prime necessity.
The Vatican and Governor Taft came
easily and quickly to substantial
agreement. The question for the Vati-
can is what practical methods are to be
adopted to put the agreement into exc
cution. With a little time certain mat

This is the Vatican method of pro-
ceeding. 1t is Il wise and prudent
method. Mr.. Taft understands the
matter and leaves Rome thoroughly
satisfied and hopeful. He carries away
with him the pontiff's statement that
the negotiations begun in Rome will
prove to have been the starting point
of a complete and satisfactory solution
of the questions at issue, and that
much he considers to be quite sutfi-

And now it is to be hoped there will

they seemingly have been heretofore
unwilling to do.
