Rome July 5.-All kinds OF specula-
ton is already In circulation as TO the
probable successor to the throne OF ST.
Peter Opinions are much divided, ov-
Ing to the many interests which viii
be affected according 20 the choice
made by the sacred college The first
question the cardinals viii have TO solve
viii be whether the conclaVe shall be
held In Rome or outside or Italy II Is
believed that the supporters Of the idea
OF abandoning Rome win be even fewer
than IN the conclaye held after the death
Of Plus TX, when 80 out Of 81 cardinals
voted IN favor Of Rome
The second question win be whether
the next pope must be an Italian or
foreigner II Is generally believed that
he win be an Italian, because, In view
of the struggle between the church ana

and the constitution Of united Italy, all
the clergy. rs wel as the Clerical party
and even foreigners. think that an

which way the wind blows, II Is con-
