Rome. July 30.-Cardinal Oreglia
invited the cardinals to enter the con

will not, however, be closed until SAT
urday morning. and the conclave will
not commence until then.
Lots were drawn for the cells
which the cardinals will occupy dur

No. So fell to Cardinal Rampolla Ac-
cording to the cabalistic code of tho
Roman populace, No. So signifies

Cardinal Gibbons cell number is 30,

Gus. in the vatican.
Cardinal Logue's Opinion.
Cardinal Logue, archbishop of Ar.
nagh. had an interview with Cardinal
Gibbons. When asked what he thought
Of the objections frequently mentioned
against Cardinal Gotti being elected
pope on the ground that his being 4
member of a religious order would
prevent him from dealing in broad
spirit with Catholic problems in Amer
lea and Great Britain, he said
1T is absurd. Cardinal Gotti was
formerly an internuneio and has
mixed with the representatives of the
various powers. He knows the pre-
yailing conditions as well as anybody.
Just because he is Carmelite, it
does not follow that he is narrow
minded. Moreover, it is unreason-
able to attribute too much weight to
the personality of the new pope In
ternational matters and internal policy
are now almost invariably settled by
commissions of cardinals, who, under
the late Pope Leo, have directed their
departments just as much as the heads
OF departments of civil government
direct their departments.
But, whatever may be possible il
is not likely that he will attempt to
make any changes in policy without
being careful to take the advice of
those commissions which have hereto
fore directed the policy of the vati-
cam"
With the arrival here of Cardinal
Frisco, archbishop of Naples, the num-

Dramatic Contrast.
Rome during the morning was the
scene of one Of those dramatic con-
t1asts which are now characteristic
of the Eternal City. While at the vat
lean, in the sistine chapel, a solemn
requiem mass was being intoned, with
all the solemnity the Catholic church
can impose, for the repose of the soul
OF Leo XIII, the spiritual monarch
who claimed Rome as his capitol, an
other and no less solemn requiem
mass was being celebrated in the mag
nificent pantheon for the repose Of
the soul of the late King Humbert, the
temporal monarch, the capital of
whose kingdom was Rome
In the evening there was a public
procession through the streets to the
tombs of King Humbert and King Vic
tor Emmanuel. 1t passed off quietly,
though thousands of persons witness
ed the demonstration and the process.
sion itself was over a mile in length
