Rome and Those of All Nations fn the
 Eternsi City yyill be Admitted se Pay
 Their Last Farsweli-Report of the
 Autopsy-CardinaIs Decide on Next
 conclave.
 Rome, July 22.-To-night the body of Leo XIII. lies in state in the basiIica of St. Peters. Beginning tomorrow at sunrise the people of Rome and those of all nations now in the Eternal City will be admitted to pay their last fars- well. Opport unities for this solemn tribute will end Saturday.
 Until 5 o'clock this afternoon the re- mains of the dead pope lay in the throne room of the vatican, where the leaders of the diplomatic. clerical and civil world were allowed to pass the bier. The ceremonial tonight, when the body was conveyed from the throne room to St. Peters, was one of the most striking of all the obseQuies. During the day the congregation of cardinals met and decided to hold the conclave under the identical regulations which obtained at the conclave which elected Leo. M
 Dr. Lapponi in the course of the day presented to Cardinal Oreglia 8 report of the autopsy which was held, which showed that there was no sign of can- cer in the pope's body. Some hours be- fore sundown St. Peters was cleared of idle crowds. The massive doors were closed and the throng of sightseers was pushed back to the foot of the great flight of circular stone steps. Half aI hundred carpenters hastily constructed a stout fence to resist the encroach- mems of the crowds which are expected during the morrow and the two follow ing days Tn the colonnade are two narrow entrances which will give ready means of controlling the ingress and egress of the throngs.
 At this mornings session of the con- gregation when Cardinal Oreglia asked If the conclave would be had in Rome, it is reported that only Cardinals Mar inelli and Steinhuber objected on the ground of possible influence of the Ital-3 ian government. Cardinal Oreglia,. who at the time of the death of Plus K had favored proposition to hold the con- clave outside of Italy, to-day declared that interference by the Italian govern ment was impossible and the proposi-. tion to hold the conclave at Rome was Icarried unanimously. The congrega ton decided that all participating in the conclave should not be allowed to hold Communication of any kind with the outside world. It has been decided that the cells for each cardinay in the con Iclave shall be chosen by lot. Prepara- tions for the conclave have already be- gun in the Sistine chapel. where the balloting will occur. It is said that an agreement has been reached between the ecclesiastical and government au- thorities to have the Italian troops en- lter St. Peters should any disturbance occur during the three days that Leo will lie in state in the chapel of the sec |rament.
 According to the Tribuna irritation is felt at the vatican against the Catholic countries for the cold tone of their tele-s grams and their condolences are com | trasted with that of Emperor William. The Tribuna adds that everything good | is said of the German emperor and of President Roosevelt and predicts that l the German cardinals and Cardinal Gibbons will be received by their col- leagues with pronounced cordiality.
