Fsrench opposition to Cardinal Gotti
seems to have been overcome. This is
partly due to the fact that there is a
growing feeling among the Italian pre-
lates hat, considering the rapid de-
cine OF the influence Of Roman Cathol-
icism in France. that country is no.
longer entitled to its former power in
papal affairs. Cardinal Seraflno Van
nutelli unQuestionably Is the strongest
rival Of Gotti.
Have Strong F%oIlowings.
Opinions differ as to which candidacy
Is in the ascent at the present moment.
~Vannuettelli will have at the outset

port. AS between these two, Cardi-
nal Gotti's reputation liz more bound up
IN traditions. while Cardinal Yannutel-
II has q broader knowledge of the
world and practical affairs and Is less

leader in liberal views is Axliar0, and

the chances OF Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary OF state. 1t is urged
that Austria will try to exercise her
right to veto, as France would in the
case Of Cardinal Seraflno Vannutelli,
the grand penitentiary, who is consid-
cred to be the candidate OF the triple
alliance.
Cardinal svampa. archbishop Of
Bologna, has been dropped. because

Object to Motor Car.
Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop OF
Milan. is not favored for the appar-
emily trivial reason that he uses a mo-
tor car. which is not considered digni-
ned In q prince OF the church. Car
dinal Aglardi, bishop Of AlbAno, is re-
8arded as too democratic. Therefore,

mentioned will be elected to succeed
Pope Leo.
The cardinals themselves, naturally,
maintain the greatest reserve, though
they all more or less repeat as though

In clearing out the Accommodations
from these rooms the servants found
an immense rich carpet which was CIV

queen mother Of Spain. It will go to
the holy fathers nephews, as the giver
specified it was a personal gift.
