Pope Leaves All To The Church.
A Few Little Gifts OF Small Value Go To Rela.
tives, But Everything Else Is To Be
Turned Over To His Successor.

Rome, July 24.-rhe property of
Pope Leo XIII, was left to his
successor for the benefit of the
church, with unimportant excep-
tlons, by his will, which was open
ed yesterday.
The will consists Of 36 sheets in
the handwriting of the Pope, and
a few codicils made in recent
years since he became too feeble
to write without great difficulty.
Even personal gifts to the late
Pontiff are included in this be-
quest.
A present to each member of
his family to be selected from the
objects of value in his apartments,
is left to each aud to his doctors.
All the land purchased by Pope
Leo was in the name of the Holy
See, to avoid any possible claim
that his relatives might make on
them.
The money of which he died
possessed is contained in a safe
in his bed room, the keys having
been given to different persons
mentioned in his will.
The earlier portions of the
testament include the recommen-
dation which the testator address
ed to his executors, Cardinals
Rampolla, Mocenni and Cretoni,
on the best way to continue the
religious impulse given to the
church, as well as the policy fol-
lowed by the Holy See during
later years.
The will ends py providing that
his remains shall be buried in the
Basilica of st. John Lateran, in
the tomb which he had already
chosen.
