Rome, July 2S.--Almost all the card
inals of the conclave have now ar
rived. Their time was mainly oceu-
pied with lengthy meeting of the
congregation. which was notable for
the cordiality with which Cardinal
Gibbons was received. After the meet
Ing the cardinals received numerous
visits at their various residences. In
well-informed circles Cardinal Angelo
Di Pietro, prodatary of the late pope,
is being talked of as a compromise
candidate in the event that Cardinals
Oreglia, Gotti, Rampolla or Serafino
yannutelli is unable to secure the nee
essary votes. Should Di Pietro be
elected pope he would, 1t is said, be
the representative of the Rampolla-
Gotti faction and yet would be fairly
acceptable to ALL Cardinal Michael
Logue, archbishop of Armagh, who,
with the exception of Cardinal Glib
bons, will be the only English speak
ing cardinal In the conclave, arrived
from Ireland He said he believed
that the successor to Leo would be
quickly chosen. In his case perhaps
the hope is father to the thought, as
he said he did not look forward with
a great degree Of pleasure of being
shut up in the vatican during the pres
ent hot weather.
Cardinal Gibbons Chances.
Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons, the
Irish cardinal paid him glowing
~sl oil nro1afnc
here, he held out no hope that the
American cardinal had the remotest
chance of election.
Indeed" said Cardinal Logue, Il
think Cardinal Gibbons would be a
subject for commiseration if the Sc
lection should devolve upon him, for
no American would care to spend the
rest Of his life within the precincts of
the vatican"
The Irish cardinal expressed the
opinion that the question of sending
a note to the powers protesting against
the treatment of the vatican by the
italian government should be left to
the next pope.
Cardinal Logue will pay an official
visit to Cardinal Oreglia and then
formally join the congregation.
1t is now practically certain that all
the cardinals will be present at the
conclave except Cardinal Moran, arch
bishop of Sydney, who will not reach
Rome In time, and Cardinal Celesia,
archbishop of Palermo, who is too i'll
to attend.
The King Returning to Rome.
A proclamation was posted In the
streets of Rome inviting citizens to
attend the annual commemoration of
the death of King Humbert, which will
take the form of procession through
the streets to the Pantheon. Early in
the morning of July 20, under the aus
pices of patriotic and other societies,
the Italians will visit the tomb of
Humbert at the Pantheon and deco
rate 1t with flowers. Commemorative
exercises at the capitol will follow.
For this event King Victor Emmanuel
will return to Rome on Wednesday.
Queen Margherita will arrive today.
The ecclesiastics view the approach
ing ceremony with some alarm, be-
lieving that the. anti-clericals may
take advantage Of the opportunity to
make counter-demonstrat against
the sympathy exhibited all over Italy
in connection with the death of the
pope.
