Rome. July 29.-Rome this morning
was the scene of one of those dramatic
contrasts which are now so character
istic of the Eternal City.
While at the Vatican, in the Sis
tine Chapel, a solemn requiem mass
was being intoned, with all the solem-
nitv of the Catholic Church can i'm
nose. for the repose of the soul or
leo Kill the spiritual monarch who
claimed Rome as his capital, another
and no less solemn requiem mass was
being celebrated in the magnificent
pantheon. for the repose of the soul
of the late King Humbert, the tenn
moral monarch, the capital of whose
kingdom was Rome.
King Victor Emmanuel and the
Dowager Queen Margaret came here on
nurpose to attend the annual mass,
which is celebrated on the anniversary
of the assassination of King Humperl'
which occurred three years ago. Inc
King drove to the Pantheon, arriving
there in time to meet Queen Margaret
who was dressed in deepest plack;

At IL o'clock, the members of the
municipality of Rome. with the excep-
ton of those of their number who

condole with the camerlingo on Pope
Leo's death Gas representatives of the
clerical party of the city government,
visited the Pantheon in body and
placed wreaths on the tombs of the
two Kings.
The second requiem mass in the Sis

mass The cardinal who celebrated it
was Cardinal Knapp, Bishop of Bres-

eiail cardinals. The beautiful chapel
overhowed, as it did yesterday, with
the faithful.
In the evening there was a public
procession through the streets to the
tombs of King Humbert and King Vic

though thousands of persons witnessed
the demonstration, and the procession
itself was over a mile in length. All
the shops were shut, and there were
more outward signs of mourning than
have been seen in Rome during recent
years.
Counter Demonstration
The general opinion was expressed
that the anti-clericals succeeded in
making a successful counter demon
stration against the recent activity of
the clericals,, but they did so without
any breach of propriety and without
wounding the feelings of the Catho-
lies and regardless of political affilia-
tions.
Prince Chigi marshal of the con-
clave, visited Cardinal Gibbons to-day
and had long and cordial converse
ton with the American prelate. All
of the diplomats accredited to the VAT
lean have left their cards at Cardinal
Gibbons residence, and he has been
visited by the high ecclesiastical dig
orders.
Irish Cardinal Talks.
Cardinal Logue, archbishop of Ar
magh, had an interview to-day with
Cardinal Gibbons. When asked to-day
what he thought of the objections fire.
quently mentioned against Cardinal
Gott being elected Pope on the ground
that his being a member of a religious
order would prevent him from dealing
in a broad spirit with Catholic prob
lens in America and Great Britain,
Cardinal Logue said to representa-
i've of the Associated Press:
1T Is absurd. Cardinal Gotti form
erly was an internuncio and has mix

rlOus Powers. He knows the prevail
ing conditions as well as anybody. Just
because he is a Carmelite, it does not
follow that he is narrow minded. More
over it is unreasonable to attribute
too much weight to the personality of
the new Pope. International matters
and International policy now are al
most invariably settled by commissions
