Proposed Protest.
The cardinals today again discussed
the advisa bility of sending a note to
the powers regarding the condition of
the holy see. Some of them insisted
on the necessity of not allowing the
occasion to pass without again pro
testing against the occupation Of pOnti-
fetal territory by Italy, thereby show

maintain its claims undated. Others
said they thought that such a note
protests of the same kind already
made, while il might interfere with the
policy which the future pope may de-
sire to follow. and added that the best
thing TO do was to leave the successor
OF Leo XIII entirely free to choose the
courses which he may consider best
for the good and general interests of
the church.
No decision on the subject was ar
rived at. II the cardinals determine to
