LEO XIII.
POINT. MAX.

Meanwhile requiem masses continued
in the chapel of the Sacrament, as
well as many other Roman churches.
The will of Leo was read to-day.
While nominally leaving the estate
of Carpineto to his nephew, Ludovico
Pacci, it really makes no change as
the whole family property, amounting
approximately to $12O, 900, already had
been divided among the three nephews,
Count Camille having already sold his
share.
The congregation again to-day made
further progress with the arrangement
for the conclave.
A wall is being built around the
apartments where the conclave will he
held. 1t is already ten feet high.
Some of the Italian bookmakers here
proposed to conduct public betting on
the chances of the papal candidates,
and in order to obtain permission to
do so, Offered to donate their gains
to charitable institutions.
The government, however, promptly
refused the request.
At the sixth meeting of the
Congregation of Cardinals, held
to-day, forty-five cardinals were
present. Cardinal Dellavolpe, voicing
also the opinions of some of his col
leagues, criticised the ceremonies in
connection with the interment of Leo
XIII last night because the cardinals
did not participate in the entire pro-
cession and complained generally of
the lack of order.
Cardinal Oreglia replied that he had
already noticed this and that he would
punish those who were responsible
Monsignor Merry Del Val, communi-
Gated to the cardinals the report from
Santiago, Chile, of the incident which
occurred there during the celebration
of the requiem for the late Pope which
was attended by the President of the
republic and the authorities. Accord
ing to the report Monsignor Uguarte,
in delivering the eulogy on the late
Pontiff, protested against the usurpa-
ton of papal territory by Italy, where
upon Count Boasso left the church and
lowered the italian flag, which had
been hoisted at the legation as sign
of mourning The incident produced
an unpleasant impression upon the
Sacred College, being the first dis
cordant note in the universal mourn
ing.
Vatican and QuirinnI.
The ceremonial of the conclave es-
tablished by Gregory XIV, is to be fol-
lowed at the coming meeting. The
i I,r,- he
clave to eat in common, in order to
facilitate their work.
A local paper quotes the response of
Cardinal Svampa to a question as to
whether he believed the conclave would
be of lengthy duration, as follows:
ION the contrary I think it will be
very short. 1 believe that two days
will suffice to reach an agreement.
Another paper quotes Mgr. Fran
cisca Nava as to the possibility of the
election of Pope who would reconcile
the Vatican and the Quirinal thus:
mo Pope ever hated Italy. The gov
eminent must reconcile itself to the
Pope. Certainly Italy, on the occasion
of the death of Leo, showed herself
well disposed for a reconciliation"
The VIII of Leo.
The will of the late Pope was read
to-day after the meeting of the Con-
gregation of Cardinals. Only that por-
ton which deals with the material mat
ter of the personal Papal estate was
made public. The religious testament
was not disclosed. The relatives of the
late Pontiff were not present although
invited.
That portion made public is as fol-
an the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Ghost. as the end of our
mortal career is approaching, we put in
this Photograph will our last desires.
Before all, we humbly supplicate the
infinite bounty and charity of the
blessed Lord to condone the faults of
our life and receive benignantly our
spirit in the beatific eternity which we
specially hone through the merits of
Jesus the Redeemer, trusting to His
very sacred heart, an ardent furnace
of charity and fount of spiritual life
and humanity. We also i1nnlore as
mediators the blessed Virgin Mary,
mother of God, and our own much be-
loved mother, and that legion of saints
whom, in our life. we venerated in
special way.
