POPE LEO'S SUCCESSOR

London, July 20.-The claims of the
Catholic church are so lofty, its Or
ganization so peculiar, there being no
other ecclesiastical monarchy in
Christendom. and its history has been
so splendid, that the approaching
election to its throne cannot be other
wise than a subject Of the highest in
tellectual interest throughout the civ
ilized world. This is especially the
case at the present vacancy, for the
Papacy clearly stands at the parting
of the ways. and the successor of Leo
Kill will probably decide whether the
Church shall be world wide. or shall
become practically the Church Of the
Latin races alone, races which if they
are not decaying, are being Outstrip-
ped in the great contest. If he is a
man in whom the spiritual life is
strong. he may infuse new vigor into
the veins of the Church, while if he is
a mere diplomats, or a hunter after
temporal power, he may extinguish the

greater precautions ever been OBJ
served to protect the royal train than
CnOse which had been perfected when
King Edward and Queen Alexandria

pilot engine ran a quarter Of an hour
ahead of the royal train, and after its
passage all tracks were absolutely

DubIin's Welcome Ready.

Dublin, July 20.-Despite the re-
fusal of the Municipal Corporation to
prepare an address of welcome to
King Edward. the latter. is assured OF
a warm welcome when he reaches
Dublin tomorrow. The city is over
flowing with visitors, including con-
siderable number of American tour
lists. The leading streets are decor
ated as seldom before in recent years
and. in fact, the entire city presents
holiday appearance. Window seats
near the point at which his majesty
will maks his official entry into the
city are being rented for large sums
as it understood the same quaint
and interesting ceremonies will be
observed as on the occasion OF the
last visit of Queen Victoria.
The full official program mas not
vet been announced but from what
can be learned it appears to be un-
likely that their majesties will travel
much in Ireland, as the yacht VIII

On arriving at the bed chamber Greg

FORECAST OF ELECTION.
What Some Of the Cardinals 1hinl
VIII Be the Lineup at
ConcIave.

Rome. July 20-Cardinals who are
indirectly active in promoting the in
terests of Roman Curia, have prepar-
ed the following forecast.
Of the 64 cardinals As are impossi-
Bile, even as surprise candidates. OF
the remaining 19, Oreglia. Capcela-
tro Di Pietro, Manara and Cretonla
are over 20, hence being good material
as transition candidates. In this class
Di Pietro is the strongest.
Candidates of pronounced lndivld-
uality and policy are divided into two
classes. Gotti Agliardi, Ferrata, Fer
rari and Svampa are candidates OF
the reforming spirit; Rampolla, the
elder Vannuteddi would be cOntinuers
of Leo's diplomatic policy.
The cOlorless and surprise candi-
dates include SartO. SatOlli and Con
mari. Sarto is the strongest.
Di Pietro is the best transition can
!idate and GOtti the best reform can
didate.
Chances of Sarto.
AS surprise candidate Sarto
stands the best chance. Di Pietros
strength consists in being unobjectiOn-
aDle 10 .Ihe eHllIe coIIeSF. HoItI
pronounced views continue to array
many cardinals against him.
1t is now certain that at least four
cardinals will be absent from the con
clave.
The religious orders have six can
didates in the college, namely: Steun-
hubel, Jesuit; Gotti Carmelite; Mar
tinelIi Augustinian; PierOtti, DOmin-
ican; Yves Tuto, Capuchin; Caprola-
Iro. Orothorian. There is no likeli-
hood that the cardinals of the various
religious orders will combine on one
candidate.
The Russian minister at the vatican
insists that RampOlla has the support
of the Italian cardinals, whom he as
sisted to power and the cardinals of
the Catholic powers total thirty, yet
he may not be able to obtain more.
