ing votes, as, living far away FROM
Rome, where different factions tlou".
ish, they will be more impartial, espc-
cially as it is admitted by all that the
new pope will be chosen from among
the Italian candidates. For this lat
ter reason there cannot be national
rivalry among the foreigners.
The death of the pope brings about
a widespread change in all the ad-
ministrative departments of the
church and considerably influences
questions of church policy. The
change within the Vatican affects
practically all the officials from the
highest to the lowest. Cardinal
Rampolla retires from the post of Sec
retary of state, where he exercised n
strong influence owing to the physi-
cal infirmities of Leo. Other high Of
fcials are similarly affected.
There is a complete Transformation
of apostolic authority, the death of
the pope meaning the nominal death
of all the officials under him. The
propaganda alone remains intact, as
the entire machinery of the propa-
ganda is unaffected.
The chief international questions
which may be affected by the death
of the pope are those connected with
the suppression of religious orders in
France. the change of the clergy in
the new Spanish-American posses
sions, the selection of successor of
the late Cardinal Vaughan and at

administration of the church in Eng

Rome, July 24.-From sunrise until
sunset yesterday thousands passed
before the body of Leo NH lying in
state in the basilica of st. Peters.
The will of the dead pope was open
ed at Thursdays meeting of the con
gregation of cardinals. 1t consists
of 3G pages in the handwriting of Leo
NH and leaves all the property of
which he died possessed to his sue
cessor, for the use of the church.
TO each member of his family he
leaves a present to be chosen from
the valuable objects in his apartment.
Similar presents are bequeathed to
his physicians. The total amount of
the property which he left is not yet
known.
What is regarded as the most i'm
portant matter before the meeting was
Il proposition presented by Cardinal
Oreglia to send a note to the diplo-
matte body accredited to the Holy
See for the purpose of representing
to the powers the condition of the
papacy since the loss of its temporal
power and the transfer of the capital
of the Italian government to Rome.
The commission of cardinals en-
trusted with the arrangements for
the conclave has presented plan
which involves an expenditure of
81 400 and assures that everything
will be in readiness for the opening
of the conclave July 81. Now that the
pope'S will has been opened, the work
of removing the things in his apart
ment which he bequeathed by the in
strument has begun.
