lieve the conclave will eject pope to-

Rome, July 81. 20 p. m-The cardi-
mails are now arriving at the vatican
and going to their cells. They will not
leave the vatican again until the new
pope Is elected.
BY five o'clock this afternoon all the

claye has been duly formed and its
members are now shut from the outer
world. Everything is prepared for to-
morrow's voting.
Rome. July S1.-The ceremony of the
entrance OF the cardinals in the con-
clave was inaugurated this morning,
with the celebrate of the mass of the
Holy Ghost in the Paulin chapel of the
vatican. The sacred college. number
sixty-two cardinals, the diplomatic
CORPS Roman aristocracy, knights of
Malta, and few outsiders were espec-
tally invited to be present with their
profusion Of guards. who today had
taken of the mourning emblems they
had been wearing for Leo XIII.
{ Cardinal Serafino vannutelli officiat-
ed. After the Veni Sancte Spiritus
had been intoned. Monsignor Sardi read

make wise choice in the task before
them. so that the one elected to the
supreme dignity shall be a worthy vicar
OF Christ on earth. Printed copies of
the oration were handed to all of the
cardinals present. After the mass the
cardinals assembled in the hall of the
consistory, WHERE the rules Of the con-
clave were read, and each cardinal took
an oath to obey them. The cardinals
then hurried away from the vatican, to
return later with more or less nurner-
GUS articles which they deem neces-
sary for their attendance at the con-
claye.
The discomfort which the cardinals
will experience by being shut up in the
vatican Is somewhat lessened by The
exceptional weather, which is cloudy,
cool and windy. The confusion which
ensued from the loss OF the temporal
power OF the papacy made it necessary
to cut down expenses Among other
things the numbers of noble guards Is
much reduced, SO that now there are
only about forty of these soldiers. AS
1t Is customary for each cardinal to
have a guard told off for his service in
the conclave, and there are sixty-two
cardinals. 1t has been decided to press
into this service the cadets. The Ques-
tion of which cardinal they fall to is
OF serious import to them, as each
guard congratulates his cardinal and
wishes him good luck in the coming
election, for which good wishes he re-

of people who are to enter the con-
claye must be reduced to the really in
dispensable number. there will be only
about 2T5 persons present.
The Messagero says among the Pc
titfons for relief out of the money left
by Pope Leo is one from Counts Mastai
and Ferreti, nephews of Pope Leo TX,
who are in extreme poverty.
It is runiored in vatican circles that
some of the cardinals, especially for
eigners, having announced their inten-
ton OF voting for Cardinal Ferrata, the
latter has been induced to withdraw
his candidacy, after having been prom
ised by Cardinals Rampolla, Gotti and
Serafino Vannutelli that If one of them
is elected pope he will appoint Ferrata
secretary of state.
