LONDON, July 1S-AccOrding to a
Rome dispatch to the Daily Express, -
the Pope has commissioned Cardinal
Vannutelli who is about TO visit Ireland,
to try to obtain from J. Pierpont Nor
gan the priceless ancient cope. which
was sto.en IN 1902 from the Cathedral Of
AScoli
The cope mysteriOusly disappeared
while repairs were being made to the
cathedral, and though the government
took measures for its recovery, they
were unsuccessful.
1t now transpires that the cope was
sold TO Mr.. Morgan, who has lent it 70
the South kenslnStOn Museum, where il
Is at present on view.
The cope IS a beautifully embroidered
piece OF work, done in France in the
thirteenth century. 1t was presented 10
the AsCOt Cathedral by Nicholas ".
The curator at South kensingtOn Mu
scum yesterday showed the cope to a re-
porter The entire ground Is Of gold
thread, on which art worked fifteen eN-

inches deep.
The Museum authorities believe that
the cope is Of English, not Of French.
