KING EDWARDS VISIT TO ROME,
He Has Not Yet Been Asked to Meet the
Pope

Rome. April 4-It seems that the facts
about King Edward coming TO Rome, and the
possibility of his meeting the Pope, are that the
King has not yet been asked TO visit the Pope,
and therefore all the means suggested for the
meeting are problematic. The Vatican thinks
that owing to the number of Catholics in the
British Empire especially in Ireland and Can
ada the King will not come to Rome without
irving to see the Pope otherwise it would
appear to be international offence. Antlclpat-
ing the Kings visit there is now an element
at the Vatican advocating 4 deviation from the
ceremonial established at the time of Emperor
Williams first visit by allowing the KING 10
start from the British Embassy. where he will
be met by Monsgnor Stonor. the canon OF ST
John Lateran. and the highest English prelate
here who will accompany him TO the vatican
However it is probable that the King will not
go to the Vatican if he comes TO Rome for one
day only, as seems likely, according to the latest
information on the subject

DENIAL FROM MIR. CHAMBERLAIN

London, April 4.-The Colonial Secretary, Mr..
Chamberlain, was asked to-day if there was any
truth in the statement made by the Dublin cor
respondent Of The Daily Chronicle yesterday
to the effect that the government intends 10 dis
solve Parliament at the end of the present ses-
sion. that the leading plank of the Conservative
platform would be enormous extension OF
local government in Ireland; that the irish po-
lice would be placed under the control of legis-
lstive council: that Mr.. Chamberlain warmly
supported these projects of the government. and
that neither Gerald Balfour. President of the
Board of Trade nor Mr. Brodrick, the War Sec
retarv would be included in the next Cabinet.
Mr. Chamberlain replied:
The statements are absolutely untrue. both as
they regard myself and as they regard the gov
ernnent generally.

Church here formally stated that the Mother
House. in London. had ordered the members to
leave Paris, and that they would depart with
resistance.
4 representative of the "Francais'' who visited
the headquarters of all the orders here, quotes
the Dominicans saying they will accept the
law Part of the members of that order have
already left France The other orders refused
to disclose their plans. saying they would take
the fifteen days allowed them to reach deci-
sion. The Francois asserts that some of the
orders anticipated receiving advice from Rome.

The members of the Democratic
County Committee will at their
meeting at the courthouse on next
Monday, it goes without saying, con-
fer with the candidates for the vari-
Gus offices and be guided by their
wishes in adopting the primary plan
for making nominations. That the
majority of them favor it is beyond
all question and backed as they are
by large majority of the people of
the county no other method, we
take it for granted, will be seriously
considered by the committee. The
people of the State having spoken in
favor of the primary plan, in a way
too plain to be mistaken, no other
method OF course is to be thought of
in this or any other election from
United States Senator down to the
lowest office. The true sentiment of
the people of the county and State
has been too often misrepresented
vby the men selected as delegates in
the past to give them that power in
the future.
