 Rome, July 29.-Rome this morning was the scene of one of those dramatic contrasts which are now so character istic of the eternal city. While at the vatican, in the Sistine chapel, a solemn requiem mass was beng intoned, with all the solemnity the Catholic church can impose, for the repose of the soul of Leo XIII, the spiritual monarch who claimed Rome as his capital, an other and no less solemn requiem mass was being celebrated in the magnih- cent Pantheon for the repose of the soul of the late King Humbert, the temporal monarch, the capital of whose kingdom was Rome. King Victor En- manuel and the dowager queen, Mar garet, came here on purpose to attend the annual mass, which is celebrated on the anniversary of the assassination of King Humbert, which occurred three years ago.
 The second requiem mass in the Sis tine chapel was termed the foreign mass. Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Bres- lau, celebrated it, assisted by Cardinals Gossens, Perraud and Di Pietro.

The camehngo, Cardinal Oreg1ia, has ordered new one for use in the symbolic ceremony which occurs immediately after the successor to Leo is chosen.
 The member of the noble guard who was overcome during the requiem mass in the Sistine chapel while on duty be- side the catafalque was Count Stampa, who a few days ago was placed under arrest for feigning illness.
 It is officially announced that in ad- dition to the will of the late pope and separate from it Leo XIII. left tri- fling present to each of long list of relatives, members of the papal house hold, prelates, doctors. cardinals, etc. As many formalities have to be ob- served, it will probably be some time before these gifts are delivered. | Cardinal Gibbons frank attitude in regard to the forthcoming papal cleo tion has proved great surprise to sev- eral other cardinals.
 | It is said that some cardinals are ab. 1 solutely scandalized by his ultra mod. ern ideas and language.
 That there is conviction at the Vat l ican that the conclave will be of short | duration is proved by the fact that all | those who are to enter the conclave to ! minister to the wants of the cardinals | have been engaged for only three days. l The two camps into which the sacred college is divided appear to be becom. | ing daily more irreconcilable, and it is | said that the anti-Rampolla faction has l declared that if necessary to defeat the l opposition they will even go to the I length of supporting a foreign cardinal The name of Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Breslau, was mentioned in this connec. | ton, but was hardly considered seri l ously owing to the belief that under | present conditions the elevation of g
 German to the papacy might mean the l irreparable loss of, France to the holy
 see.
