ROME, July 29-Rome this morning was
the scene of one of those dramatic con-
trasts which are now so characteristic of
the Eternal City. While at the Vatican, in
the Sistine Chapel, solemn requiem mass
was being intoned, with all the solemnity
the Catholic Church can impose, for the re-
pose of the soul Of Leo XIII, the spiritual
monarch who claimed Rome as his capital,
another and no less solemn requiem mass
being celebrated in the magnificent
Pantheon for the repose of the soul Of the
late King Humbert, the temporal monarch,
the capital of whose kingdom was Rome.
King Victor Emmanuel and the Dowager
Queen Margaret came here purpose to
attend the annual mass which is celebrated
on the anniversary of the assassination of
King Humbert, which occurred three years
ago. The King drove to the Pantheon, the
well-known red liveries of his coachmen
and footmen arousing much interest among
the people in the streets, and arrived there
in time to meet Queen Margaret, who was
dressed in deepest black. After a tender
embrace mother and son entered the PAN
theon, heard the mass and placed wreaths
on the tombs of King Humbert and King
Victor Emmanuel. The entrance and exit
of their Majesties was witnessed by a large
crowd.
At IL o'clock the members of the munich
pality of Rome, with the exception of those
of their number who a few days ago went
to the Vatican to condole with the Gamer
lengo on Pope Leos death (as representa-
tives of the clerical party of the city gov
ernmenD visited the Pantheon in a BODY
and placed wreaths on the tomb of the two
Kings.
In the evening there was a public process
sion i'm the streets to the tombs of King
Humbert and King Victor Emmanuel. III
passed off quietly, though thousands of per-
sons witnessed the demonstration and the
procession itself was over a mile in length
Throughout the route the piazzas and
streets were thronged with orderly snecfa-
tors who heartily cheered the red shirted
Garibaldian veterans and other representa-
tives of Italian liberty. All the shops were
shut and there were more outward signs
of mourning than have been seen in Rome
during recent years. The procession which
was mostly composed of local patriotic
societies and bands, was very picturesque
The veterans corps carried many banners
and Italian flags draped with crepe besides
hundreds of wreaths which they laid on
the tombs of King Humbert and Victor
Emmanuel at the Pantheon. The general
opinion was expressed that the anti-cler-
icals succeeded in making a successful
counter demonstration against the recent
activity of the clericals, but that they did
so without any breach of propriety and
without wounding the feelings of the Cath
olics and regardless of political affiliations
The second requiem mass in the Sistine
Chapel was termed the foreign mass The
cardinal who celebrated il was Cardinal
Kopp. bishop of Breslau. German, assist
ed by three foreign cardinals, Goosens
archbishop of Mechlin. Crush archbishop
of Vienna, and Perraud. bishop OF Autun
and one Italian cardinal. Di Pietro. The
beautiful chapei overfiowed, as 1t did yes
terday, with the faithful.
The Vatican, as rule. provides car
riage and horses for all the cardinals and
all the horses are alike-black, with long
tails, but the authorities were not prepared
for so many cardinals and were obliged
TO give the last arrivals bay horses
