HOLY SEE AND ITALY
MAY Be RECONC|LED
Senators May Bring Question Be-
fore Parliament-Pope May
Leave Vatican.

ROME, June 1.-The papal encycli-
cal is the object of comment on all
hands. Some of the senators. it is
reported, intend to bring the subject
question of the revision of the law
of guarantees passed in May. 1871.
esta blishing the status of the pontiff
in Rome. The aim of these senators
is to open the way to a complete
and the Italian state.
1t is recalled that during the Paris
peace conference the delegates of
several countries suggested private
ly that a satisfactory solution might
be found in the conclusion of a con-
cordat between Italy and the holy
see. but all agreed that the question
must be left entirely to the two
parties interested, as any outside in
reference would only prevent good
results.
AS is known. all idea of actually
getting back the temporal power has
been abandoned. even under the form
of a strip of land from the Vatican
to the Mediterranean sea. Cnder
Pope Plus Y a suggestion was made
that the status of the pontiff and
papacy in Rome be settled by inter-
national agreement. But on the side
of the Italian government it was re-
marked that 1t would be impossible
to accept this. as it would mean pos
sibel interference in the internal af-
fairs of Italy by any foreign state
signatory to this agreement. under
the pretext of it's violation by Italy.
These arguments seemed so reasona
BILE that this project also was aban-
doned
There is discussion of the possi-
bility that Pope Benedict may be
seen outside the Vatican. Pope Plus
X on various occasions expressed the
desire to leave the Vatican when
occasion seemed to demand it, and
at the time Of the Messina and Gala
bria earthquakes it was thought he
intended to proceed to the scene of
the disasters to comfort the victims.

COLORLESS LOCAL MARKET
Electric Storage and Lake Superior Yielded Under Moderate
SeIing-Most Changes Fractional

There was the same conspicuous lack
of initiative in the trading in today's $
local market. Dealings continued of
the same limited proportions and were
altogether colorless. Price movement
was the familiar mixture of fractional
gains and declines. Few exceptions
were to n large extent influenced by
the unsettled state of the New York
market.
While the over Sunday developments
promise interesting events in some Of
the more important questions in the
general situation, there was nothing,
however, of local character to effect
much change in sentiment in so far as
the home stocks were concerned. If
anything, circumstances and conditions
tended to accentuate the waiting policy
and to curtail rather than extend mar
ket commitments.
Little liquidation appeared in any
of the local issues, Moderate pressure
developed in Lake Superior Corpora =
tion at the outset, but after the stock
touched 17as this selling ceased, and
most of the loss was regained.
Few belated selling orders appeared
in Electric Storage Battery, follow 70
ing the second hour slump in the big
market, which carried the price down
S1.75 to 1851. Similar selling move e
ment brought 81 decline in American
Stores to 3S12. Keystone Telephone
common was offered little more freely.
but there was only recession of %
cents from the previous sale at 1917.
The trading in the other local stocks
represented mostly odd lot transactions,
