BY CATHOLIC COUNTRIES.

Rome, July 10.-Premier Zanardelli had a
long conference to-day with the Minister
of Justice. Signor Coccu-Ortu. under whose
jurisdiction are all religious affairs in Italy,
about the eventual right Of veto which the
Italian Government might exercise at the
next conclave.
Three Catholic Powers-Spain, France and
Austria-entoy this privilege, termed the
right of exclusion" which entities them

This right has been regarded as extreme

when Italy. being the largest field Of ac-

Rome. July 1o-once to-day the doctors
succeeded in overcoming Pope Leo's iron

Cardinals.
This decision followed his conclusion yes

Cardinals. viz: Cardinal Bishops. Cardinal

The last named body had shown consider
able Irritation at not seeing the Pontiff and
at being compelled to get news Of his con-

Iollo's visit yesterday the Pope decided to
receive to-day one OF each Of these classes
Of Cardinals.

find It difficult to do 30 now, as no Italian
Cardinal, even among those who are most
conciliatory. would undertake to represent
united Italy, which is considered by the
church to have usurped the temporal SOW
ereignty Of the papacy.
Besides. Italy's policy consists in conao-

Portugal also claims to be entitled to
veto the election of an undesirable Cardi-
nal to the papacy. but her right has never
been acknowledged.
Austria tried at both the last conclaves.
respectively, to prevent the election Of Plus
TX and Leo XIII, but the two Cardinals.
Gayruck and Ganslebiur. deputed for tho
task, both arrived too late.
The last time the right OF exclusion
was successfully employed was in 1885. when
Spain prevented Cardinal Giustinian from
being elected Pope. when he had already re-
ceived q out of 2 votes necessary for
election. Cardinal Giustinian was so dis
appointed that he died very shortly after
the conclave.

VATICAN NEGLECTS EVEN
ORDINARY CARE TO BURY
BODY OF. MGR. V0LPINl.

Rome. July 10.-The extraordinary confu-
sion prevailing at the Vatican outside the
immediate vicinity of the Pope's sickroom
is demonstrated by the remarkable neglect
to make even the most ordinary prepara-
lions for the burial Of the Mgr. Vol
PM, the secretary Of the consistory and
canon of st. Peters. who died suddenly yes
terday of syncope.
Usually the funeral of so high an eccle-
siastic would have been a prominent event
in Rome, but to-day 1t was completely for
gotten in the shadow of the greater i'm
pending loss to the church.
The body of Mgr. volpini seems to
have been permitted to remain almost in
the condition in which he died. The body
vas not laid out in the customary manner.
Only two lighted candles were provided.
and they were permitted to burn to the
sockets and had almost expired when a
noble Roman lady came this morning to
view the body.
She raised an indignant outcry at such a
ccEdition of affairs.
Hasty arrangements were then made for
the burial. At o'clock the coffin was
brought down from Monsignor volpini's
room. situated Immediately above the
Pope's apartments. and placed in COM
munal hearse of the fourth-class, drawn by
two horses. such as is usually employed by
small tradesmen and comparatively poor
persons.
A few choir boys. monks and priests head
ed the procession to the church Of Santa
Maria, where the final rites were celebrated.
There was an entire absence of ecclesiastic-
al dignitaries and prominent members of the
laity. who. in ordinary circumstances, would
attend the ceremony.
The great bell OF st. Peters was tolled
few moments only. which was remark
able in view Of the fact that the news Of
Mgr. Volpinfs death was kept from the
Pope, who must have heard the bell. which
is only tolled for prelates and ecclesiasts Of
the high order.
