Rome. July 3O.-Rome, Wednesday
morning, was the scene of one OF
those dramatic contrasts which are
now so characteristic of the Eternal
city. While at theVatican in the Sis
tine chapel a solemn requiem mass
was being intonei, with all the sol
enmity the Catholic church can
impose, for the repose of the soul OF
Leo KILL, the spiritual monarch who
claimed Rome as his capital, another
and no less solemn requiem mass was
being celebrated in the magnificent
pantheon for the repose of the soul
of the late King Humbert, the tenn
poral monarch the capital of whose
kingdom was Rome.
At the Pantheon Portals.
King Victor Emmanuel and the
dowager queen Margaret came here
on purpose to attend mass, which ls
celebrated ON the anniversary of the
assassination of King Humbert, which
occurred three years ago. The KING
drove to the pantheon, the we'll
known red liveries of his coachmen
and footmen arousing much interest,
and arrived there in time 10 meet
Queen Margaret, who was dressed IN
deepest black. After tender em-
brace, mother and son entered the
pantheon, heard the mass and placed
wreaths ON the tombs of King Hum
bert and King Victor Emanuel. The
entrance and exit Of their majestics
were witnessed by large crowd
The Municipality of Rome.
At II o'clock the members of the
municipality of Rome, with the eN-
ception OF those Of their number who
few days ago went to the vatican
to condole with the camerlengo on
Pope Leo's death (as representatives.
of the clerical party, visited the pan
theon in body and placed wreaths
on the tombs of the tvs kings.
The second requiem mass in the
Sistine chapel was termed the foreign
mass, Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Brcs-
lau, celebrated, assisted by three for
eign cardinals, Goosens, Gruscha and
Perraud, and one Italian cardinal Di
Pietro. The beautiful chapel over
flowed as 1t did Tuesday with the
faithful.
Not Black Horses Enough.
The vatican, as n rule, provides 4
carriage and horses for all the car
dinals, and all the horses are alike,
black with long tails; but the author
tiles were not prepared for so many
cardinals, and were obliged to give
| the last arrivals bay horses.
From the estimates made, the cost
to the holy see Of the various cerc'
monies from the death Of the pope

takes place within few days, will be
100000.
