IN STATE AT ST. PETERS.
Continued from frst page.

Except at sunrise when the crush threatened
a panic. all those who wished IT had an oppor-
tunity Of entering ST. Peters. During the day
many Of those who passed in stopped before the
catafalque TO say hurried prayer. Hundreds
Of the women and even some OF the men, car
ried children in their arms.
An important political factor was introduced
into the cereuony by the entrance into St
Peters Of Italian soldiers. who remained there
throughout the day to preserve order. Their
presence there in such capacity unprecedented
in the history OF modern italy. is important as
an indication of better relations between the
government and the Vatican. il was by the
consent, If not by the desire. OF the Vatican
authorities that they to-day employed the troops
Of the Quirinal in Papal territory.
Another feature which is causing comment
along the same lines is the fact that Cardinal
Oreglia, in receiving group of the City Fathers
of Rome who represent the Clerical party,
charged them to thank also their Liberal COL
leagues for the manifestations of sympathy
which they showed during the illness OF the
Pope. The Cardinal. continuing his conversa-
tion indica ted especial satisfaction over similar
manifestations coming from several constituted
bodies Of the Kingdom Of Italy, such as COM
mrnal councils and provincial deputations. in
Guiding that OF Rome, which is presided over
by Prince Feice Borghese
'It is unex xpected tribute exclaimed the
Cardinal, which would have imagined
twenty-five years ago"
In this connection additional interest attaches
to to-day's meeting of the Congregation OF Car
dinals. which appointed Monsignor Piferi as
confessor Of the Conclave. a committee to under
take the arrangements of the conclave and Sc
lected other officials such the physicians who
will attend them during their seclusion. The most
important matter before the meeting, however
was a proposition presented by Cardinal Oreglia
TO send note to the diplomatic body accredited
to the Holy See for the purpose Of representing
to the powers the condition of the Papacy since
the loss OF Its temporal power and the transfer
OF the capital Of the Italian Government to
Rome From what leaks out it appears that the
proposition provoked considerable discussion ard
tnat Cardinals Steinhuber. Matthew and Wives
Iuto favored the dispatch of a most energetic
note concerning the question OF retaining the
PapaI rights. Cardinals Agiardi and Serahno
NannuteIi, On the contrary advocated a mder
Wording OF this document, which they con-
tehoed, should maintain the historical preten-
slons OF the Holy See, but in temperate lam
suage. The majority of the Congregation de-
cioed to pursue middle course and intrusted
Monsignor Merry Del Val with the duty OF draw
ing up the document for submission to another
meeting OF the Congregation. The note, y hen
approved will be presented to the diplomatic
body' signed by Cardinals Oreglia, Macchi and
Netto, deans Of the three orders into which the
sacred College is divided.

DETAILS OF POPE'S WILL.
4 HoLographjc Instrument-Prop-
ertu to Successor.

Rome July 23.-The will Of Pope Leo was
opened at to-day's meeting Of the Congregation
Of Cardinals. It consists of thirty-six pages. in
the handwriting of Leo XIII and leaves all the
property of which he died possessed to his sue
cessor for the use Of the Church. To each mem
Der OF his family he leaves present to be chosen
from the valuable objects in his apartment
Similar presents are bequeathed to his physi-
clans. The total amount Of the property which
he left is not yet known.
After the will of Leo XIII had been opened
1t was the intention Of the cardinals to main
tain the strictest secrecy concerning its con-
tents, but 1t is learned that it connpr thirty
six sheets in the handwriting of the late Pope,
except some additions, evidently made in his
later years, when the Pope found considera Bile
difficulty in writing. owing to the trembln ng Of
his hand. which was pronounced before his
death that he was obliged to hold his right
hand with his left when he made his sigma ture.
The earlier portions OF the testament include
the recommendation which the testator ad-
dressed to his executors, Cardinals Rampolla
Mocerni and Cretoni. on the best way 10 con-
tinue the religious impulse given to the Church
as well the policy followed by the Holy See
during later years. The document then enumer-
ates all the property which Leo possessed, and
provides that it shall all go to his successor for
the benefit Of the Church. including even the
presents which might perhaps be considered
personal rather than gifts TO the Pontin such.
The money which the Pope left is in a closed
safe in his bedroom. the keys having been given
to different persons mentioned in the will. All
the land purchased and build ngs erected for in
stitutons personally founded by Leo are put IN
the name Of the Holy See 10 avoid possible
claims from relatives. as the Pope probably re-
naenlbered that some time after the death OF

against the Church. claiming 5000 francs as
their portion of his estate. The will ends by
providing that his body shall be buried in the
Basilica of st. John Lateran in the tomb which
he had already chosen.

however, there has been any change in the
Chinese attitude since this pledge was given. it
is said here that the United States Government
will not be moved thereby. but, holding fast to
the pledges already given viii insist on their
redemption.
Respecting the plea attributed TO China in the
Peking dispatches TO the effect that she cannot
open the Manchurian ports, because they are in
the possession Of Russian troops and officials,
il is pointed out here that as several weeks or
even months must elapse before the new treaty
can be completed and become operative, there
will be ample opportunity for the Russians to
evacuate the desired ports, If such course is
necessary.
