houses of the French parliament will
assemble in the historic Palace of
Versailles next Friday to elect a pres
ident of France for the next seven
Years. It is contrary to tradition for
a president to accept a second term.
Hence President Fallieres will not be
a candidate. The latest dispatches
from Paris indicate hat M. Poincare,
The present premier, is generally re.
garded as the probable choice of the
national assembly for the presidency.
Several other candidates are in the
field, however, and the ultimate Sc
lection cannot be positively foretold.

RampoIIa Close to Present Head Of
Church and Formerly Secretary Of
State Under Pope Lso-Activs Ad-
vocate Of Union Of All Churches
Proclaimed Cardinal in 1887.

Rome. Dec. 17.--The death Of Car
dinal Rampolla, former papal secretary
of state. was not made known to Pope
Plus y until this morning. Cardinal
Merry del Val and Monsignor Giovanni
Bressan, the pope's private secretary,
went to see his holiness at any early
hour, intending to break the sad news
as gently as possible. but when the
pope heard the name Of Cardinal Ram
polla coupled with the words indisposi-
tell him the truth without hesitation, as
anxiety and uncertainty affected him
more than anything else.
AS recently as Saturday the pope had
received Cardinal Rampolla. who was
then apparently In his usual good
health and spoke at length about many
affairs. The pope issued the following
statement:
Cardinal Rampolla was one OF the
greatest men III the church. He had be-
come even greater since he retired from
state affairs"
On Sunday evening last Cardinal
Rampolla received sSilas McBee, former
editor of the Churchman. and his wife.
of New York. and discussed with them
at length the question of bringing
about a better understanding between
all religious sects.
Favored Reunion Of Churches.
Cardinal Rampolla was the closest
collaboration OF Pope Leo in the move
ment for the reunion of the christian
churches. When Pope Leo was dying
d cablesra;n was received in Rome say
ing that the American protestant con-
gregations were praying for his recov-
eery. Cardinal Rampolla took the mes
sage to the dying pontiff, and the latter
ordered that a. statement be Issued that
the news had been a great consolation
to him, as it had proved that his
scheme for the reunion of the churches
was not a dream.
Yesterday morning Cardinal Rampol-
Ia went to st. Peters to inspect the
work Of restoration of the choir. Later
he felt an indisposition. which soon de-
veloped into prostration. He refused to
allow his secretary to remain with him
all night at his little palace behind ST.
Peters, where he had lived since he left
the secretaryship of state.
End Came Suddenly.
The cardinals secretary alarmed at
his condition, consulted q physician.
The latter visited the cardinal but dis
covered no serious symptoms. Later in
the evening the cardinal grew worse and
had great difficulty in breathing Ho
sent for his secretary and physician,
but when they arrived the cardinal was
dead.
The physician declared death was
due to angina pectoris. The cardinals
secretary performed the final rites of
the church and then sent for the prel-
ate's sister, Baroness Carolina Ram
polla-Pezzana. and informed Cardinal
Merry del Val.
1t has been thought in many quar-
ters that Cardinal Rampolla was the
most likely candidate for the papal
chair in case of the death OF the pope.
