The Popular Idea.

In anyone of the readers of The Times
were to be asked TO whom the Vat
lean belonged, the reply would undoubt-
edly be that It belonged 20 the Pope,
the popular impression IN this country
being TO the effect that he owns II ex-
ofiicio. as the duly elected head Of the
Roman Catholic Church. the members
of which in all parts of the globe have
for hundreds of years past been con-
tributing. not merely to its maintenance.
but to the formation of those marvellous
collections which render it the greatest
storehouse of priceless and unique
treasures OF art and letters In the world.
The only limitations that might have
suggested themselves thereto were IN
the nature of a life interest. and that
the actual fee and ownership was vest
ed In the international Catholic Church.

Italy's View of Question.

A new and startling contention, has.
however. been put forward within the
last few weeks by the Italian authori-
ties. who advance the pretension that
the Vatican, with all it's statuary, ITS
paintings. its mosafcs. it's les. Its
Libraries. and manuscripts. It's master
pieces of the goldsmiths. and of the jew
eler's art belong not to the Pope, nor 10
the universal Catholic Church. but to
the Italian nation.
G'he issue has been raised In relation
To the recent fire in the Vatican. And
the government. IN condemning the
absence in the palace of any modern
appliances for extinguishing flames,
takes occasion to point out that in its
eyes the Pontiff is but the custodian of
a great museum belonging 10 the ma
ton, and intimates in the most plain
and unvarnished manner that If he does
not fulfil his duties as caretaker more
efficiently, and provide in a more salts
factory manner for the safety of Italy $
great patrimony of art and history
contained in the palace, the state will
be obliged TO step in and to undertake
the duty itself. In one word the ltal-
ian government in the matter of he
proprietorship of the Vatican places the
Holy Father on much the same footing
as the monks of Certosa d'Ema, near
Florence, and OF Monte Ohvero Mag
giore in the province of Sienna, who
since the proclamation OF these cele-
brated monasteries as national property,
have been allowed to remain on there
in the capacity of custodians.

Spanish Idea Of 1t.

In Spain Walter Williams called
upon he editor OF a provincial jour
nal to explain the press parliament,
and asked him to give the subject a
notice. The Spanish editor said he
would be delighted, and on the fol-
lowing day Mr.. Williams read some
thing like this:
"Mr. Walter Williams of the United
States has purchased the state oil
Louisiana and next year will give a
celebration, to which he invites his
fellow journalists Of Eurove.
Mr.. Williams fastened to the Amer
lean consul aud between them they
convinced the editor that correc.
ton was necessary. The result was
the following terse statement:
Governor Francis, of Missouri
has purchased a large tract OF land
in the great. American desert and Mr.
Walter Williams is here to invite thu
journalists Of Spain to a show which
the governor will give next year.

A southern newspaper declared
1.-The lynching of negroes In Illinois

While that paper admitted that imi.

ded: 1--WE should restrain our desire
10 please so far as to refrain from
negro lynching just because our
brethren up north indulge in that
pastime." All of which moves the
New York Tribune to say: "The
sarcasm is not undeserved, and the
serious reflection that while the

Ing the eruptlons 1895 and 1900.
The eruption occurred without any
warning whatever. There was an
earthquake, defamation or rain Of
ashes, which were thrown 10 a height
Of 700 feet, producing an extremely
beautiful effect seen from Naples.
The stream OF lava, which is Is feet

deviated later from the direction OF
the observatory, which is no longer
menaced. The only danger Is for the
new electric tramway up the volcano,
which, however, has thus far not
been touched. The eruption already
seems to be decreasing, and it Is hop
ed no damage will result from it.
The spectators far enough away
not to be frightened stood entranced
at the spectacle, but those nearer to
the volcano were seized by panic
when the eruption began, and rushed
down from the sides OF the mountain
and from the adjacent country to
the villages of Portici and Resins,
which are built over the ruins OF
Herculaneum. The alarm In these
villages was somewhat Quoted by
the mayor affixing notices declaring
