the eternal city. While at the vatican the sistine chapel. a solemn requiem mass was being intoned. with all the solemnity the Catholic church can impose, for the repose of the soul of Leo XIII. the spir- itual monarch who claimed Rome as his capital, another and no less solemn re- quiem mass was being celebrated in tho magnificent pantheon for the repose of the soul of the late King Humbert, the temporal monarch the capital of whose kingdom was Rome.
 King Victor Emmanuel and the Dow ager Queen Marguerite came here on purpose to attend the annual mass which is being celebrated on the anniversary of the assassi- nation of King Humbert which occur red three years ago. The king drove to the pantheon, the well known red liveries of his coachmen and footmen arousing much interest among the people in the streets and arrived there in time to meet Queen Marguerite who was dressed In deepest black. The entrance and exit of their maiesties was witnessed by large crowd.

 Prince Chigi. marshal of the conclave visited Cardinal Gibbons today and had a long and cordial conversation with the American prelate. All diplomats acored- ited to the Vatican have left their cards at Cardinal Gibbonss residence and he has been visited by the high ecclesiastical dignitaries and the chiefs of the religious orders.
 In the evening there was a public pro- | cession through the streets to the tombs of King Humbert and King Victor Elm manuel.It It passed off quietly, though | thousands of persons witnessed the de- monstration, and the procession itself was over a mile in length. Throughout the route the piazzas and streets were throng- ed with orderly spectators. who heartily cheered the red shlrted Garibaldian vet erans and other representatives of Italian liberty. All the shops were shut and there were more outward signs of mourn ing than have been seen in Rome during recent years.
 The general opinion was expressed that the anti-clericals succeeded in making a successful counter demonstration against the. recent activity of the clericals, but that they did so without any breach of propriety, and without wounding the feel ings of the Catholics.
 During today's meeting of the cOngre- gation, the forms to be used in voting at
 the conclave were distributed among the cardinals in order that each might be able to learn how to employ his ballot.
 After the meeting Cardinal Oreglia re- | quested the cardinals to visit their cells and be prepared at tomorrows meeting | to present any complaint which they may
 have.

 fate has marked him to be the next Pope.
 Cardinal Agliardi has rellnquished his
 cell, near the sistine chapel. to Cardinal
 Cretoni on account of the latter's Illness.
 Over the door of each of the cells has
 been placed the coat of arms of the car
 dinal who is to occupy it. Should all the
 sixty-two cardinals now in Rome enter

 which elected Leo was attended by sixty
 one cardinals. In the past Popes Lave

 sliding doors which will be the only
 means of communication between the con
