ST0ICISM THROUGHOUT DAY
AND NIGHT OF SUFFERING.

SPECIAL. BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC.
London. July 6-(Copyright, 1906 "A Rome
dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says:
After receiving holy communion on Sunday
night the Pope spoke quite calmly with the
members of the Sacred College who were
present, particularly Cardinal Ferrata, say
ing he was quite ready for the journey to
eternity.
To this Cardinal Macchi replied:
Your Holiness. We hope in divine provt-
dence."
The Pope added:

long Pontifcate, such as few of my prede-
cessors had"

Professor Guido Baccelli, Minister Of Agri-
culture and Itaiy's most famous physician,
declared that the illness of the Pope was
one of the most marvellous cases he ever
witnessed

calm. He is really one of the worlds great

URGES THAT C0NCLAVE
BE KEPT QUITE FREE
FROM OUTSIDE INFLUENCE.

Vienna. July ga Rome dispatch to the
Neue Freie Presse quotes private letter
written to a friend by Doctor Mazzoni, who
sa.s:
1.-The Pope possesses astounding vitality.
His mind is as tranquil and still as torch
on a calm night. He speaks about life and
death with the same beautiful serinity. To-
day he said to Cardinal Matthew:
"'Great FranceI She has caused me much
pain, but has also given me much conso-
lation and JOY"
The same correspondent reports that.
speaking with Cardinal Oreglia yesterday,
his Holiness expressed the hope that the
conclave would not forget the wrong done
to the Holy See in 1870 and would elect a
man who would defend the rights OF the
church. its liberty and independence. He
also strongly recommended the Cardinal to
secure the seclusion of the conclave from
all outside influence.

VATICAN AUTHORITIES
CRITICISED FOR LETTING
POPE OVERTAX HIMSELF.

Rome. July 6-In Vatican circles there
seems to be dissatisfaction because of the
rumors in circulation to the effect that
those in authority. instead of preventing the
Pope from overtaxing his failing strength,
have for their own purposes urged him,
contrary to his physicians advice, to
further exertion- 1t has been limited that
those who might be eligible candidates for
the chair of ST. Peter would not have many
regrets should the way be left open without
delay. and that. regardless of the Pontiff's
feebleness. they worked on his harmless,
natural pride in the vigor of his constitu-
ton and his venerable age to encourage him
to preside at the two recent consistories. as
well as to undertake numerous receptions of
pilgrims and other visitors tn the Eternal
City. notwithstanding the precarious condi-
ton of his health since the operation Of
1892 which had grown much worse during
the last few months.

tons are theoretically repudiated by those

Rome. July 6-Great activity reigns among
the Cardinals now that 1t is sure that a
conclave cannot be far off. 1t is even said
that there has been an exchange of tele-
grams in cipher between the members Of the
Sacred College in Rome and those in the
provinces or abroad
Innumerable rumors are circulating and
scarcely any Cardinal is deprived of the
fattery of being considered a candidate.
However, besides those mentioned in the
Associated Press dispatch yesterday. the
only other candidates who are regarded as
having fair chance are Cardinal Svampa,
Archbishop of Bologna, and Cardinal Rich
eimy. Archbishop of Turin.
Cardinal Rampolla is thought by many TO
have the best chances OF being elected. Ac-

into an agreement with Cardinal Gotti, Pre-

DICTATES LATIN POEM
WITH HIS LAST STRENGTH.
The Popes mind is still so clear and his
spirit SO strong that all those within the
Vatican are full Of wonder.
But Leo himself is preparing for eternity
with most admirable GOODNESS. He has or
dered all his papers and personal property
to be left to his nephews. while his piano
has been beQueathed to the children of
Count Ricardo Pecci.
After making these dispositions, his Holi-
ness received Mgr. Bartolini, with whom he
had long conversation about the Conclave.
He then dictated a Latin poem about his
own death to his private secretary.

Pope Leo himself often facetfously said:
Il am burying all my successors" During
his reign 1i6 Cardinals have died. Cardinal
Oreglia. the Dean. is the only member OF
the Sacred College who sat in the concIaye
which elected Leo.
1t is generally understood that the Pontiff
would select Cardinal SatolIi for the
papacy. The latter is not greatly liked be-
cause of his phenomenal promotion. At the
last consistory. Pope Leo named Satolli for
the Cardinal bishopric of Frascati. making
him the fourth digritary Of the church now
living
Cardinal Gibbons is one OF those longest
in service. but has reached only the twelfth
place in the line Of precedence. He is i'm
mediately succeeded by the Cardinal Secre-
tary of State. Rampolla. Were it not for
such unusual promotions. as in the case of
Satolli. Cardinal Gibbons. by reason Of
seniority. would be eligible 10 one of the six
Cardinal bishoprics. Should he survive a
few years longer he will inevitably be Dean
of the Cardinal Priests. 1t is not thought
however. that Cardinal Gibbons is even a
remote possibility as the successor of Pope
Leo.
