GIBBONS CHANCES FOR PAPAcY
Rome Paper Says Spanish and Latin
C,-J;,,fe Wotfd Onroee Him.


Rome July lO.-The Tribuna, which,
since the grave condition Of the health
Of the pope became generally known,
has been publishing sketches Of the
cardinals who are considered likely TO
become head OF the church. deyotes
an article to Cardinal Gibbons, which
ends as follows:
"The partisans Of Americanism have
in the past often spoken Of Car
dinal Gibbons as a possible succe1-
sor TO Leo Kill The idea was for
many reasons too daring to become a
realty: but it would not have appeared
altogether impossible without the
Spanish-American war, which rem
dered Cardinal Gibbons position ex-
cossively delicate with the catholics
and the remainder Of the world. He
would not be- a pope OF the two Ameri-
can continents, or even an American
ist but pope Of the United States
against whom would rise the Spanish
cardinals with all the prestige OF their
indisputable loyalty to the apostolic
see. and who would have on their side
the greater part Of the Latin cardinals.
This does not mean that in case con-
clave Is held Cardinal Gibbons will be
without influence. On the contrary
he will have power which will be exer-
cised by him with wisdom in favor OF
n candidate who will agree with the
state of modern civilization.

Demise of Secretary Of ConsIstory
Causes Great Sensation In Rome.
Rome. July 10.-Monsignor Volponi'
who was stricken with syncope, died
shortly after the doctors in attend
ance had announced that all hope OF
saving his life had been abandoned.
Although the condition Of the pope Is
still the center OF interest, the case
of Monsignor Volponi has attracted
much attention, not only because OF
his office OF secretary of the consis-
torial congregation, to which he had
iust been appointed by Pope Leo, but
also on account OF the manner In
which he was seized by his fatal Ill
ness. and It is hardly possible to de-
scribe the sensation and emotion that
prevailed az the Vatican wnen mis-
death was announced.
Great care has been taken to keep
the news of Monsignor Volponis ILL
ness and death from the pope.
It will be impossible to keep the
news of the death OF Monsignor Vol
POM nm the pope. as the Office Of
secreti ry OF the consistorial congrega-
ton, to which Pope Leo appointed the
deceased prelate July 5-the last APP
pointment made by his holiness-must
be filled without delay in view of the
possibility of papal interregnum. as
It is known that at the moment pope
dies the secretary of state ceases to
exercise his functions, which pass to
the hands of the secretary OF the con-
sistorial congregation, whose career is
from that time assured, as, according
to custom, he is the first cardinal to
be appointed by the new pope.

WHAT IS "MALGA?'

Malaga Is not designed to be Cure-ell,

perience in the laboratories OF two oil
the most successful practitioners in the
United States, men who enjoy the fruits
Of an international reputation, well and
nobly earned by their success in combat
ing disease with Natures own remedies.
Malaga is especially prepared tocombat
and destroy the germs Of Malaria, Chills,
La Grippe and Fever. It acts quickly,
eliminating the disease through the Kid.
neys and Liver, healing and purifying
them, and cleaning the blood OF refuss
matter and disease.
