The bull Is in connection with the
claims of Austria, France and Spain
as to their right to veto the election Of
any Cardinal to the papacy. Not all
the Cardinals have been informed as
to the contents of the document II hav
ing been drawn upon in accordance
with a decision reached by the Cardi
mails living In Rome with the exception
Of Cardinal Rampolla, who is absent
from the city.
Briefly, the bull says that all Cardin
ais are absolutely forbidden under pen

any Cardinal, knowing the intention
OF his ruler to object to the election

Minister Conger believes that as a
result Of the casting Of her tremendous
power and ability into the scale on
the side Of progressiveness, China will
open its gates to Christian people,
ideas and institutions; that the empire
will rapidly be christianized and, In
short, that there Is just dawning a
day Of rehabilitation for China. which
will compare only to the regeneration

empire was transformed into thor
