DEATH AT ROME

for Pope Leo and King Pum-
bert, With a TactfuI Avoidance
of All Friction.

ROME, July 29-Rome today was
the scene of one of those dramatic
contrasts which are now so char-
acteristic of the Eternal City. While at
the Vatican. in the Sistine chapel,
solemn requiem was being intoned with
all the solemnity of the Cathoilc
church for the repose of the soul OF
Leo XIII. the spiritual monarch. who
claimed Rome as his capital. another
and no less solemn requiem mass was
being celebrated in. the magnificent
Pantheon for the -repose of the soul OF
the late King Humbert, the temporal
monarch, the capital of whose KING
dom was Rome.
King Victor. Emmanuel and the dow
ager queen, Margaret, came here on
purpose to attend the annual mass,
which is celebrated on the anniversary
of the assassination Of King Humbert,
which occurred three years ago. The
king drove to the Pantheon. the well
known red liveries of his ceachmen and
footmen arousing much interest among
the people in the streets, and arrived
there in time to meet Queen Margaret,
who was dressed in deepest black
After tender embrace. mother and
son entered the Pantheon. heard the
mass and placed wreaths on the tonlbs
Of King Humbert and King Victor
Emmanuel. The entrance and exit of
their majeStieS was witnessed by
large crowd.
The members of the municipality Of
Rome, with the exception Of their num-
Der who a few days ago went to the
Vatican to condo1e with the Gamer
lingo on Pope Leo's death Gas repre-
sentatives of the Clerical party OF the
city government visited the Pantheon
in a body and placed wreaths on the
tombS of the two kings.
Without Breach of Propriety.
In the evening there was a public
procession to the streets to the
tombs of King Humbert and King Vic
tor Emmanuel. 1t passed off quietly,
though thousands of persons witnessed
the demonstration, and the procession
itself was over mile in length.
Throughout the route the piazzas and
streets were thronged with orderly
spectators, who heartily cheered the
red-shirted Garibaldian veterans and
other representatives of italian liberty.
All the shops were shut and there
were more outward signs of mourning
than have been seen in Rome during
recent years.
The procession, which was mostly
composed of local patriotic societies
and bands. was very picturesque. The
veterans corps carried many banners
oItu Itrllloll lldE15- r dldpSus Will CIGpC,
besides hundreds of ,wreaths which
they laid on the tombs of King Hum
bert and Victor Emmanuel at the Pan
theon.
The general opinion was expressed
that the anti-C lericals succeeded in
making a successful counter demon
stration against the recent activity Of
the Clericals but that they did so
without any breach of propriety and
without wounding the feelings of the
Catholics. and regardless of political
affiliations.
, Foreign Mass.
The second requiem mass in the
Sistine chapel was termed the foreign
| mass. The cardinal who celebrated it
was Cardinal Kopp. bishop Of Breslau,
a German, assisted by three foreign
cardinals. Goossen, archbishop of
Machlin; Gruscha archbishop of vi
emma. and Ferraud. bishop of Autun.
and one Italian cardinal Di Pietro.
The beautiful chapel overlooked, as 1t
did yesterday, with the faithful.
The Vatican, as a rule provides
carriage and coupes for all the cardi-
nails and all the horses are alike. black
with long tails. but the authorities
were not prepared for so many cardi-
| mails and were obliged to give the last
arrivals bay horses.
rfotli the estimates MADE, the cost
to the holy see Of the various cere-
monies from the death of the pope to
the election of his successor. if it takes
place within a few days, will be $780,
600.
With the arrival of Cardinal Frisco
archbishop of Naples. the number of
cardinals who will participate in the
conclaye is complete and totals sixty
two. OF the two remaining, Cardinal
Celesia, archbishop of Palermo. cannot
leave Palermo because Of his health,
and Cardinal Moran. archbishop of
Sydney N. S. W., although he has left
Sydney. cannot. it is believed. arrive
here before Aug. 90 when the conclave
may be over.
Prince Chigi, marshal of the con-
clave. visited Cardinal Gibbons today
and had long and cordial conyersa-
ton with the American prelate. All the
diplomats accredited to the Vatican
have left their cards at Cardinal Glib
bons' residence, and he has been Wis
tied by high ecclesiastical dignitaries
