french opposition to Cardinal Gotti
seems to have been overcome. This is
partly due to the tact that there is a
sroWlng FEELING among the italian pre-
iates that, considering the rapid de-
sine OF the influence OF Roman Cathol-
icism In France, that country is no
longer entitled to its former power in
Autellf unguestionably is the strongest
rival of Gotti.
Have Strong Foliowings.
Opinions differ as to which candidacy
Is in the ascent at the present moment
Vannuettelli will have at the outsei
Austrian as well as strong italian sup
port. AS between these two, Cardi-
nal Gottis reputation is more bound up
IN traditions, while Cardinal Vannutcl-
II has q broader knowledge Of the
world and practical Affairs and ls less
inflexible against the demands TO mod
'ern progress. Thu cardinal who Is a
leader in liberal Views il AyliarU, and
he will probably have the willing sup
pert OF Cardinal Gibbons OF Baltimore.
He Is ever N. favor Of the reconeilia-
ton Of h church and the Italian gov
eminent, but his uberality 10 SO pro-
nounced 1t will probably render his
elevation to IL papal chair impossible.
Nevertheless. as representing the pro-
sresstve section of the church, he will
have sokle supporters in the c%onclave.
However, h most probable candi-
dates remain more or less those whose
names have been mentioned since the
pope first became Ill. To Cardinal Gotti
the objection IL made that as he be-
longs to q religious order his election
might, in view OF recent events, be con-
sidered q challenge to France. Against
the chances OF Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary OF state, 1t is urged
that Austria will try to exercise her
oase of Cardinal Seraflno Vannutclli,
the grand p~enitentiary, who Is consid-
cred to be the candidate OF. the triple
alliance.
Cardinal svampa, archbishop of
Bologna, has been dropped. because
since his last stroke of paralysis, he
speaks with some difficulty.
Object to Motor Car.
Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop or
Milan. is not favored for the appar-
entity trivial reason that he uses a mo-
tor car, which Is not considered d.gni-
ned in q prince OF the church. Car
garded as too democratic. Therefore,
unless Cardinal Gotti, who has always
been h most favored candidate, sue
ceeds In overcoming the objection to
him, 1t is likely that some one now I'M
mentioned will be elected to succeed
Pope Leo.
The cardinals themselves, naturally,
maintain the greatest reserve, though
they all more or less repeat as though
in the nature of a password hat the
next pope must be one combining the
piety Of Plus TX. with the intelligence
Of Leo Kill"
A large force of servants is busy pre-
pairing rooms on the ground floor OF
the vatican for the use of the car
dtnals and their servants at the APP
preaching conclave. One hundred and
eighty rooms will be necessary for their
accommodation.
In clearing out the denominations
from these rooms the servants found
an immense rich carpet which was Civ
en- to the pope six years ago by the
queen mother Of Spain. It will go to
the holy fathers nephews, as the giver
specified 1t was a personal gift.
