POPE WAS READY TO GIVE WAY.


Relations between the courts Of Vienna and Of the
Quirinal have recently been still further eihO't-
tered By matter Of which but little has been per
rnitted 10 reach the public. II Ia known that King
Victor Emmanuel bitterly resents the failure OF EN-
peror Francis Joseph to return at Rome the visits
paid fv his grandfather, the late King Victor En-
manuel in 1873, and by King Humbert and queen
Marguerite zen years later. The excuse given for
this neglect was the ppostion OF the Papacy &c the
visit Of any Roman Catholic sovereign 10 the court
OF the Qu-inal and the anxiety of Emperor Francis
Joseph 10 refrain from giving any offence 10 the
Pope. The Kings Of Spain and Portugal, Of Sax
ouy q RuuaEia and OF Belgium have been obliged
70 accept the precedent set by Francis Joseph, and
this fashion the QuirnaI has been virtually boy
cotte5 by all the RoHan Catholic rulers OF Europe

Telisionis;s Of the King and Queen OF Italy-the
only exception being Ferdinand q Bulgaria, who IS
under The ban OF the Roman Catholic Church
Much pressure has been brought 10 bear at one
tine and another upon the Papacy in order 10 in
duce il 20 withdraw from its position with regard
10 The visits Of Roman Catholic sOvereigns to the
Qu-iuaI. The Kaiser, King Edward and others
are said 10 have interceded with Leo XIII and
with the present Pontif. urging that since the
Holy Father willing TO accept visits from
non-Csthoiic ruleTs who we're staying at the
QurinaI as the guests Of the King and Queen Of
Italy he should accord the same privilege to the
foreign rulers subject 10 his spiritual supremacy
Leo XIII turned q deaf ear to these appeals.
Quite recently Plus X. who seems disposed 70
SHOW himself less intransgeant toward the Quirinal
than his two immediate predecessors In the
chair Of St Peter, was led by these requests con-
Adentislly TO sound the Emperor Of Austria as 10
whether he really very anxious 70 visit the
Court Of the Quirinal, and he given under
stand that in that event the Holy Father might be
disposed 70 give way
The answer; which has now reached the Vati-
esn is to the effect that neither the Austrian mon
arch nor yet his heir apparent really wishes
Visit the Court Of the QUrinal and that, far from
o@siring removal by the Pope Of his prohibition

This has naturally become known among the
ehtouTage OF King Victor Emmanuel, and by his
ministers. who have acquired the conviction
uat the boycott Of the QuirinaI by the Roman
SathoAc sovereigns OF Europe is no longer attrib-
.'~ole to the Vatican. but to Emperor Francis
