Rupture With Vatican is All
 Absorbing Topic
PAPAL NUNCIO YET IN PARIS
Interesting Question is How Paper Became Possessed of Note of Protest Addressed to the
 Other Powers.

Paris. May 22-The recall of M. Nisard, French ambassador to the vatican, con times to be the absorbing topic. The ambassador is expected to arrive here to- morrow morning, when he will confer with Foreign Minister Delcasse, and go over the details of the rupture between France and the vatican, preliminary to the meeting of the council ot ministers on Tuesday, when further line of ae- tion will be determined upon.
 Contrary to general expectations, Mon signor Lorenzelli, the papal nuneio at Paris. will not leave his post The nun cature has given out the following state ment:
 Up to the present ,he nuncio has re- ceived no orders to take his leave, al though the state of his health might make it desirable As Rome has no taste for replying provocations but is solely conscious of her rights and duties, Mon sgnor Lorenzelli does not regard the eventuality of his leave as proximate.'
 Uroed to be More Extreme.
 The tone of the socialist papers indi- cate that a powerful element has urged the government to take more extreme measures Deputy Geralt Richard says in the Petit Republique that the matter must proceed until the concordat has been ended M. Clemenceau in LAurore, ridicules the granting of leave to Ambas- sador Nisard as being wholly inadequate, and says it is a recall which does not recall, and a rupture which does not rupture.
 The socialist paper Lsntrene complains that the government has not fulfilled the promises made to the parliamentary lead CTS that complete rupture would take place, and declared that the leaving of a charge d'affairs to carry on routine business with the vatican will not be sat isfactory. There Is nothing to do, it adds. but to effect a complete withdraw al of the embassy and the, embassy staff, until not concirge cook remains.
 Satisfied With the Course.
 The more moderate elements appear to be satisfied with the course of the government, while the reactionary cleri- cal papers express regret, with the ex- ception of L'Autorite, in which the Bona partst, Paul de Cassagnac, expresses satisfaction that the church declares open war against the republic.
 lsltIle IS nedu u1Tectly or the sentiments of the clergy, who are practically mug zed by their official positions under the concordat. The Rome correspondent of the Temps says that vatican official circles lay great stress upon the fact that the pope alone directs the policy of the holy see. When Cardinals Vannutel- Ii, Gotti, Agliardi and Viveshtuto saw the pope on Thursday and Friday, according to the correspondent, his holiness fore shadowed the first stage of the conflict, namely, the recall of Ambassador Nisard, but he declared so energetically that he was responsible to God alone for his ac- tons, and was acting thus TOT the great est good of the church. the cardinals did not dare to remoastrate. The cor respondent adds that First Secretary of the Embassy De Navenno, $ expected in Rome tomorrow, and that he will irn- mediately assume charge of the em- bassy.
 It was stated at the foreign office this morning that M. Denavenno had not yet left Paris.
