Meeting Each Other.

Rome, June 9.-The negotiations be-
tween the Vatican and France regard
ing the attitude to be assumed by
President Loubet. today. and the Pope
during the Presidents coming visit to
kcme are at a standstill. The Vatican
hopes \ change will occur by France
modifying the situation. If no change
takes place the idea prevails that M.
Loubet will not ask to see the Pope,
thus avoiding refusal, which would
necessarily bring about n rupture be-
tween France and the Vatican. The
authorities believe that by M. Loubet
and the Pope ignoring each other the
maintenance of the present status of
the relations between the church and
the French republic will be secured.
