The Approaching Couclaye.

1t is settled that the doors of the Vai-
can will be locked upon the Sacred Col
lrge tomorrow evening, Friday, July 81
aad that on Saturday morning the ballot
ing for the Successor of LEO XIII. will
begin. II is also known that of the sixty
four Cardinals only sixtv-three will take
Part in the Conclave and that, conse-
Quenty, the successful candidate will
need A. votes
1t follows that much depends on the
position taken by Cardinal RAMPoLLA, if
it be true, as is generally believed, that he
controls more than II votes. No Candi-
date can be successful against the will of
the late Papal Secretary of State, who
will have it in his power to exercise Il veto
as decisive IA is that lodged by precedent
in the governments of Vienna, Paris and
Madrid. 1t becomes, therefore, Il matter
of much interest to learn whom he favors,
and for some days speculation has been
concentrated on this subie II has been
asserted that, with his assistance, either
Cardinal GoTrI or Cardinal SERAFINO
VANNrTELIL might be chosen but the
assertion credits each of them with per-
sonal following of at least twenty, which
may prove an overestmate.
There are those who believe that Cardi-
nal RAMPoLLAs real preference is for a
candidate who has not yet been named,
but who, it has been privately learned
regards with approval the policy which
for some years has been pursued by the
Vatican toward the civil power in va
rious countries, and especially in France
The ex-Secretary of State naturally de-
sires to insure a continuity of the policy
which seems to have subserved the gen.
eral interests Of the Catholic Church. al
though it has been viewed with impa-
thence by some of the religious orders.
Whether Cardinal RAMPoLLA will exert
the power ascribed to him to veto the
election of a candidate disposed to adopt
more conciliatory attitude toward the
Italian monarchy than has been main
tanned during the last two certificates is
obviously question of the utmost mo-
ment to King VICTOR EMMANUEL Ill. No
effort has been spared by the Quirinal to
propitiate the Sacred College, and there
ia no doubt that this body meets under
circumstances less calculated to provoke
bitterness and rancor than those amid
which it assembled twenty-five years ago
OF the Cardinals created by Plus TX,
most of whom were presumed to share
tho implacabo resentment with which
he regarded the despoier of the States of
the Church, only one, Cardinal OREGLIA,
now survives. From this fact the in
ference has been drawn that it may prove
difficult to find a candidate who, if elect
cd, wkuld not display more friendly
spirit toward the Vatican than did LEO
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-07-30

XIII. Experience has shown, however,
that the relatively liberal sentiments
attributed to Cardinal are apt to disap-
pear on his elevation to the papal chair.
1t was just because Cardinal MAsTAI FER
RETTI and Cardinal PECcI were regarded
as too liberal that Austria intended to
prevent their election by an interposltlon
of the veto power. For more than two
years Plus TX was to justify the hopes
of Italian Liberals, but during the greater
part of his pontificate he was vehement
reactionary. So too, Cardinal PEccr
disappointed those who had counted
upon his modifying the infexible hostility
with which his predecessor had treated
the Italian monarchy.
A drastic change is often wrought IN
the views and temper of a Cardinal by the
tremendous responsibility that weighs
upon the tenant of the papal throne. once
invested with the tiara, he ceases to sur
vey persons and events from the stand
point Of the passing hour, and sees them
in their relation to the long perspective OF
papal history How innumerable have
been the mutations of temporal dominion
within and without the Italian peninsula
that the papacy has Witnessed ana sur
vivedl Never since the Bishops OF Rome
were endowed with territorial possess
sions bv the King of the Franks have they
consented to renounce their claim 70
political Independence. Soveregns ne
fncto they have often ceased to be, but
never have they abjured their preten-
sions to be sovcreigns de jure. In the
end. their claim has always been made
good.
For our own part, we do not believe
that the successor of LEO NIL, even
though an Italian patriot like Cardinal
CApECELATRo should be chosen, will ever
recognize King VICTOR EMMANUEL I'LL.
as the rghtful possessor OF the City OF
Rome, or, indeed, of any of the States OF
the Church. 1t is. nevertheless, concelv-
able that, through the exhibition OF an
accommodating spirit on both sides, a
modus vtuendi might be arranged whereby
the relations between the civil power and
the head of the Church would be less
strained than they have been during the
last thirty years, and by virtue of which
the Pope would no longer deem it needfnl
to remain immured continually in the
Vatican. The negotiation of any COM
promise, however, would be a difficult
and delicate business and the conclusion
may be ultimately reached that it would
be easier and safer to persist in policy
of rigorous aloofness.

The Voyage Of the kcarsarge.


The result of the long-distance speed
test of the battleship Kearsarge puts that
vessel in the front rank of the naval YES
sells OF her class. Her steaming qualities
have proved equal to her fighting ones.
Sailing from Portsmouth, England, on
the nth Of this month, she arrived at
Frenchman's Bay, Mount Desert, on the
26th, having covered course of 2,Ss5
nautical miles, about 1868 statute miles,
in 8 days hours and Is minutes, at the
average rate of 1912 knots an hour. This
is said to be the best record for battle
ship on long voyage.
Practically no preparations were made
for the trip. The Kearsarge had been
sent to England in the latter part Of
June, crossing the Atlantic in 10 days and
is hours, at an average speed Of more
than IL knots. With no further prepara-
ton than the cleaning of her propellers,
she started back again, with the result
noted
OF special interest to the Navy Depart
economically, the daily consumption of
coal being only l25I9 tons, and without
the Use Of forced draft; and the other
fact that not single stoppage Of the ma
chinery was made for any cause. After
recoaling, the Kearsarge could have re-
| turned TO England without days delay
! for repairs of any kind.
Eight years ago the cruiser Columbia
crossed from Southampton, England, TO
this port in 9 days % hours and 40 min
utes, covering 3,lO9 miles at speed of
| 1S,4l knots. She used natural draft only,
| the position of the coal bunkers, still filled
on the last day of the run, making it i'm
| possible to use forced draft, as had been
intended. Since then we have had no
other long-distance speed test until that
| of the Kearsarge. The Columbia is one
of our two triple-screw cruisers and her
chief engineer officer at the end of her
test said that he thought she would have
done better had the third propeller been
removed entirely. The experiment of
trlple-screws is accepted as failure now
1t would be of value, therefore, to test on
a long voyage the speed of cruiser
having the standard system of propul-
sion, twin screws
In connection with the gratifying result
of the Kearsarge's voyage, it is interest
ing to note that the Secretary OF the Navy
has recalled his approval OF the plan for
the new battleships recently submitted
by the Naval Board of Construction, and
that the two vessels may be built to de-
velop trial speed of at least IS knots
and to carry 1000 tons Of Goa, instead of
the II knots and $50 tons proposed.

This is really small part of the infor-
nation which Mr.. BAKER furnished to
the generally arid pages of the Congress
sonal Directory concerning himself, his
heart history, his methods of thought and
action, the analysis of votes in which he
has been interested, and so forth. But
for his election to the House last fall, the

exclusively in the columns of the Single

respectable publication which is accus-
toned to act as his mouthpiece.
While there is certainly no absence OF
ef-consciousness in the Congressional
Directory's autobiography OF the Hon.
ROBERT BAKER there are certain uncon-
scious self-revelations of character which
will not be overlooked by the attentive
reader. Perhaps they will help to explain
the extensive manifolding and wide adj
vertisement of an unnecessarily verbose

The Summers Naval Inspection.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The nfor-
nation in to-day Sun that the Sylph has been
ordered to the navy yard for repairs and the
Mayfiowcr is to be put in order TO replace her
at Oyster Bay is evidence of the thorough
ness OF inspection brought to bear on these
two vessels by the Commander-n-Chief.
Suppose the Sylph had not been subjected to
close inspection during the hot spell and had
broken down at the Cup races. and the May
flower still at Fayal!
The Dolphin. too. must have been pretty
thoroughly inspected by tho Congress COM
mittee by this time. and the main brace
properly attended TO, Perhaps the commit
tee could extend their inspection to take in the

The Test .

The propriety Of orders to the officers
commanding the Sylph, or Mayfiower,
to lie off Oyster Bay, and await such uses
as the President may, in his discretion,
see fit to make of them, is to be tested
by the necessity, or expediency, OF such
instructions in order to execute the Con-
stitution, the treaties, or the laws.
The result of inquiry into the increased
expenditure caused by such orders, or
whether any previous President issued
similar orders under similar circum-
stances, will be irrelevant, immaterlal
and inconsequential.

The Grand jury and the city Pave
ments.

The Grand Jury in Part l. of the Court
of General Sessions handed paper to
Judge MCMAHON on Tuesday, which is
dignified with tho title Of present
ment" upon the condition OF the asphalt
pavcments in this city. In this paper,
the Grand Jury state that they are con-
WINGED that dangerous conditions seem
TO abound in many of the asphalt-paved
streets They also say that they are in
formed by the public press and other
wise that some OF the companies holding
contracts with the city to keep asphalt
pavements in proper condition are dila-
tory in the discharge Of their contract
obligations, and they declare that the
creation of a municipal asphalt repair
plant, to be confined exclusively to repair
work, would be wise solution of the par
tcular problem before them. Accord
ingly, they express their approval OF the
suggestion of the Commissioner of Public
Works in regard 10 the wisdom and neces-
sity of the early establishment OF such
municipal asphalt repair plant, and call
on him to make his report to the Borough
President accordingly at the earliest pos
sible date"
A II this is very interesting; but il would
be even more interesting to know what il
has to do with the administration or en-
forcement of the criminal law We had
supposed that the investigation Of charges
of crime was the chief if not the only
function of Grand Jury; but different
impression seems now to prevail in some
quarters. There has been disposition
of late years for Grand Juries to assume
a supervisory function over numerous
details of municipal administration, and
there can hardly be- more striking mani
festation of this tendency than is con-
tanned in the presentment to which We
refer.
The Grand Jury may be right or may
he wrong in this particular matter; but
it seems to lis tolerably clear that it is a
subject with which they properly have no
official concern whatever.

The GoyeInotsnlP Of Porto Rico Is an once In
which rotation and rather speedy rot alton
getting TO be the rule. Mem York Tribune.
Porto Rico was acquired by the United
States, We believe, in the year 1898; and &C.
cording to our recollection since its acqliisi-
tion there have been but two American
Governors Of the island CHARLES II. ALLEN
OF Lowell, Mass, formerly Member of Con-
gress and Assistant Secretary Of the NAVY:
and WILLIAM H. HUNT. the present Gov
ernor, formerly a Justice Of the Supreme
Court of Montana and afterward Territorial
Eecretary Of the Island OF Porto Rico under
Governor ALLEN.
This does not seem like very rapid rota-
ton. We hope that the report that Gov
ernor HUNT is about to retire is without
foundation He is exceptionally qualified
for the post on account of his thorough ac-
quaintance with the Porto Rcans and every
thing pertaining to their insllar affairs. 1t
is extremely important that the post of
Governor in a possession like this shall be
occupied by man of statesmanlike ca
pacity, thoroughly in sympathy with the
people whose affairs he is called upon 10
administer and who has not sought the
Office IA stepping-stone TO other political
preferment
The place should be made and kept at
tractive to men of ability like Governor
ALLEN and Governor HUNT If President
ROOSEVELT is compelled to appoint sue
cessor to the latter, he will no doubt be
aided in the selection by the advice of the
present Governor and his predecessor
