Rome, July 29-Rome this morning was the scene of one of those dramatic con trasts which are now so characteristic or the Eternal City. While at the vatican. in the Sstine chapel a solemn requiem mass was being intoned with all the solemnity the Catholic church can im- pose, 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 cele- brated in the magnificent Pantheon for the repose of the soul of the late King | Humbert, the temporal monarch, the | capital of whose kingdom was Rome.
 King Victor Emanuel and Dowager | Queen Margaret came here on purpose to attend the annual mass, which Is eele- brated on the anniversary of the assassi- nation of King Humbert, which occurred l three years ago. The king drove to tine l Pantheon, the well-known red liveries of l his coachmen and footmen arousing much | interest in the people on the streets, and | arrived there in time to meet Queen Mar | garet. who was dressed in deepest black. l After @ tender embrace mother and son entered the Pantheon, heard mass and | placed wreaths on the tombs of King Humbert and King Victor Emanuel. | Witnessed By Large CroWuS. The entrance and exit of their majesties were witnessed by a large crowd. l At il O clock the members of the mu- 1 nicipality of Rome, with the exception of those of their number who a few days ago went to the vatican to condole with l the camerlengo on Pope Leo's death (an | representatives, of the clerical party of the city government visited the Pan- theon in body and placed wreaths on the tombs of the two Kings.
 The second requiem mass, in th< Sis tine chapel, was termed the reign mass. The cardinal who celebrated il was Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Breslau, q German. assisted by three foreign cardi- nals-Goosens archbishop of Mecklin; Gruscha, archbishop of Vienna, and Per- raud, bishop of Autun, and one Italian cardinal. Di Pietro. The beautiful chapel overfiowed as it did yesterday with the faithful.
 The vatican, as a rule, provides a ear- riage and horses for all the cardinals. and all the horses are alike. black with long tails, but the authorities were not prepared for so many cardinals. and were obliged to give the last arrivals bay 1 horses.
 From the estimate made the cost to the holy see of the various ceremonies from the death of Pope Leo to the election of his successor, If 1t takes place within a few days, will be s4OoCO0.
 Public Procession.
 In the evening there was a public pro- cession through the streets to the tomb of King Humbert and King Victor En- ] manuel. It passed off quietly, though thousands of persons witnessed the dem onstration, 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 Gari- baldian veterans and other representa- lives 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 general opinion was expressed that the anti-cleriea succeeded in making successful counter demonstration against the recent activity of the cleri- calls but that they did so without any breach of propriety, and without wound ing the feelings of the catholics.
 conclave Is Complete.
 With the arrival of Cardinal Frisco. archbishop of Naples, the number of cardinals who will participate in the con clave is complete, and totals sixty-two. Of the two remaining. Cardinal Celesa. | archbishop of Palermo. cannot leave Pal | ermo because of his health. and Cardinal Moore, archbishop of Sydney. N s. w., although he has left Sydney. cannot. It Is believed, arrive here before August 20. when 1t is supposed the conclave will be | over.
 Prince Chigi. marshal of the conclave, visited Cardinal Gibbons today and had | a long and cordial conversation with the American prelate All the diplomats ac- credited to the vatican have left their | cards at Cardinal Gibbons residence, 1 and he has been visited by the high ee- clesiastical dignitaries and the chiefs of the religious orders.
 Forms Given to Cardinals. | During today's meeting of the congrega- | tion the forms to be used in voting at the | conclave were distributed among the car l dinals in order that many might learn ] how to employ his ballot After the meet 1 ing Cardinal Oreglia requested the cardin- als to visit their cells and be prepared at tomorrow's meeting to present any com | plaint which they may have. Supersti- | tious people here find an omen in the fact | that Cardinal Rampola drew apartment | No 5s which in the book of the lottery stands for pope and consequently they come to the conclusion that fate has marked him 10. be the next pope Cardinal Agliardo has relinauished his cell near | the Sistne chapel to the Cardinal Oreglia on account of the latter's Illness. Over the doors of each of the cells has been | placed the coats of arms of the cardinal who is to occupy 1t. Should all the sixty | two cardinals now in Rome enter the con- | clave. 1t will be the most numerously at- | tended in history. The conclave which elected Leo was attended by 61 cardinals. | In the past popes have been elected as l low as nine. The acclesiastics who are to watch the sliding doors. which will be the only means of communication between the l conclava and the outside world, have | been requested to be present at the vat | ican at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon to as- sume their duties. The sliding doors will only be opened between and half past II o'clock in the morning and between 5 and in the evening. At all other times ] 4h .x.iII l.a
