ROME, January New and impol
tant steps have just been taken look

late Pope Plus TX.
This revival of the cause in his be
half has resulted in a general awaken
ing OF interest in the subject, although
all OF the interest thus aroused is no
based exactly on the same viewpoint
No public steps having been taken te

years, the impression had gained
ground that the cause had been en-.

unificasion OF Italy took place and
Rome and the papaI states passed
from under the temporal rule OF the
popes to that OF the united italy.
Against this alleged usurpation. the
vatican has never failed to protest.
Pope Plus * himself, on the day that
the Italians entered Rome, locked him
self In the vatican. from which Meth
Ct he nor any OF his successors have
ever issued. declaring themselves pris-
oners at the hands of Italians.
Following the death of Pope Plus
*, still further protest was made
by call for subscriptions from the
entire Catholic world for the purpose
OF erecting tomb to him tina. would
be permanent standing protest
against the quirinal. The money
came. the tomb was built. and al
though the body OF Pope Plus was
nearly dragged from the funeral cor
tege BY the infuriased Italians as il
passed TO It's final resting place, the
intarment was made.
As consequence. when. shortly
after this, the announcement ves
