holy water. Each of the officiating car
dinais followed in turn and the cere-
mony was concluded with the chanting
of the Orenus.
The Tribuna says that as the fisher
mans ring, which could not be found
after the death of the Pope, may be
discovered in some drawer which was
sealed up and cannot be opened until
after the election of the new Pope,
the camerlengo, Cardinal Oreglia, has
ordered new one for use in the SYM
bolic ceremony which will occur i'm
|mediately after the successor to Leo
is chosen.
1t is officially announced that in ad-
dition to the will of the late Pope and
separate from it, Leo XIII left trifing
present to each of a long list of rela-
tives members of the Papal household,
prelates, doctors, cardinals, etc.
That there is a conviction at the
Vatican that the conclave will be of
short duration is proved by the fact
that all those who are to enter the
conclave to minister to the wants of
the cardinals have been engaged for
only three days. The two camps into
which the Sacred College is divided
appear to be becoming daily more ir-
reconciIable and it is said that the anti
Rampolla faction has declared that, If
necessary to defeat the opposition, they
will even go to the length of support
ing foreign cardinal. The name of
Cardinal Kopp, bishop of Breslau, was
mentioned in this connection, but was
hardly considered seriously, owing to
the belief that under present conditions
the elevation of a German to the Pa
pacy might mean the irreparable loss
of France to the Holy See.
