Wh@t No American Would Care to
 Spend the Rest of His Lifs
 In the Vatican.
 ROME, July 2S.-Almost all the car dinals of the conclave have now ar- rived. Their time has been mainly oc- cupied with lengthy meetings of the congregation. In well informed circles Cardinal Angelo di Pietro, prodatary of the late pope, is being talked of as a compromise candidate in the event that Cardinals Oreglia, Gotti, Rampolla or SePafino Vannutelli is unable to se- cure the necessary votes. Should Di Pietro be elected pope he would, 1t is said, be the representative of the Ram Dolla- -Gotu faction and yet would be fairly acceptable to all.
 Cardinal Michael Logue, archbishop of Armagh, who, with the exception of Cardinal Gibbons, will be the only English speaking cardinal in the con- clave, has arrived from Ireland. He said he believed that the successor to Leo would be quickly chosen. In his case perhaps the hope Is father to the thought, as he said he did not look for ward with a great degree of pleasure to being shut up in the Vatican during the present hot weather. Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons, the Irish cardinal paid him a glowing tribute, though, like all the prelates here, he held out no hope that the American cardinal had the remotest chance of election.
 'Indeed,' said Cardinal Logue, T think Cardinal Gibbons would be a subject for commiseration if the seIec- ton should devolve upon him, for no American would care to spend the rest of his life confined within the precincts of the Vatican"
 The Irish cardinal expressed the opinion that the question of sending a note to the powers protesting against the treatment of the yatican by the Italian government should be left to the next pope. -JL 44gas,4

Cardinal Ciriaco Maria Sancha v Her vas, the archbishop of Toledo, delivered short address to the cardinals in pre- senting the condolences of the royal family of Spain. The Spanish people remember with affection the predilec- ton of Leo XIII. for Spain and the help their country received during difficult moments from the deceased pontiff, who, being the godfather of King Alfonso, was considered by all Spaniards be- loved father who watched their destiny. Cardinal Oreglia thanked the Spanish cardinal in the name of the sacred col iege, making himself the interpreter of the satisfaction which the cardinals felt over the noble words and high sen timents which he had expressed.
 Each of the cardinals during the con- clave will have suit of apartments comprising four rooms, made up of three bedrooms, one for the cardinal, one for his conc1avist and a third for his servant. The fourth room will be used as saloon or dining room. accord Ing to circumstances. -
 Several of the cardinals proposed, in view of the extreme heat, to celebrate mass during the conclave in the Pau line chapel early enough every morning to complete the morning balloting in the sistine chapel by Il o'clock.
 2 A press representative has paid vis- 1t to the cell which Cardinal Gibbons will occupy during the eonclave. When the lots for apartments were drawn the American cardinal drew No. 5, the modest apartment of Commentators Puccinelli, the master of the house. 1t is few steps up from the ground floor on the left of the noble staircase entering from the court of San Da- maso. The bedroom of the cardinal is decorated with paper of an ordinary yellowish gray, and it contains a small black iron bed, a marble top dressing table, small writing desk, an arm chair, an iron clothes stand, a little, high, movable mirror framed in iron and wood and a prie dieu at the side of the bed. Over the bed hangs a pie tuRe of Madonna. Adjoining this is the room of the conciavist, which ia smaller, with about the same furniture except that the chairs are more sim pie, with cane bottoms, and with a mir TOT and clothes pegs attached to the walls. A smaller room, with & camp bed, is for the use of the servant. The fourth room will be of little use, as, it is without window. The apartment is lighted with electricity. It will prob ably be very warm, as it has a full southern exposure.
