AS A MARK OF RESPECT.
Irish Want Flags Half-masted on
Public Buildings.

London. July 23.-The first mention
of the pope's death in the commons
occurred this afternoon when William
Redmond Qrish nationality asked if
the flag on the Victoria tower, West
minister and those on the public
grounds would be half-masted out of
respect to the late pope.
Victor Cavendish, treasurer of the
household, replying for the government.
said there was no precedent, but the
question of ordering the half-masting
of the flags on public buildings was
now under consideration.
Mr.. Redmond invited a statement on
the subject from the premier. Mr.. Bal
four, who said il was a question of
respect TO the dead pope, but universal
precedent must be regarded and gen
eral rules laid down must be observed,
irrespective of sentiment. otherwise
they would be in difficult position.
Precedent did not turn on respect for
the personal character Of the individ-
ual. but on his position.
Mr.. Redmond then called the atten-
ton of the government to the fact that
flags were lowered all over the United
States by the order Of President Roose-
welt" which would perhaps influence
British action. At any rate. he added,
the flags might be lowered on the day

FEEBLE AND WORN OUT.
Cardinal oreglia Not Accustomed to
ExeFtion.


Rome, July 22.-Cardinal Oreglia, dean
of the sacred college. is feeble and
worn out, owing to his long unaccus-
toned eXertiOns. His life as a cardinal
was one of uninterrupted serenity and
ne now pra ctically bears the entire bur
Gen of the church and also the minute
details of the preparations fer the Obse-
ouies and the cOnClave. NotWItnStand-
ing this. he opened this morning s
meeting of the congregation of cardl-
nails. The number of those present to-
day was augmented by the presence
OF two new arrivals, Cardinal Svampa.
archbishop OF Bologna, and Cardinal
Boschi, archbishop of Ferrera. The
former was especially warmly well
coined by his colleagues. as being one
Of the most prominent cardinals Of the
sacred college, and because he is men
toned among those most likely to sue
coed Pope Leo.
1t is being remarked that Cardinal
Oreglia's responsibilities have softened
his austerity aud that he is directing
affairs with frmness but without
harshness. showing the cardinals every
consideration and giving constant proof
Of equanimity.
At this mornings meeting of the con-
gregatiOn OF cardinals, a committee
consisting of Cardinals Casali Macchi
and Della Volpe was appointed to SUI
pervise all the arrangements in con-
rectiOn with the cOnclave.
Doctor LappOni and PelegallO, a
surgeon. Prof. Gagiati and a drug
gist were appointed to attend the car
dinals while they are shut M.
