Difficulties in Completing Arrange

LONDON. January 26.-The Rome
correspondent Of the London Times is
informed from a trustworthy source
that the conclave will probably be
postponed owing to difficulty In COM
pleting arrangements In time.
It becomes more certain daily that
the maim issue Of the election will be
the Roman question, the correspond
ent says. Several cardinals support
the policy Of re-entering into oflicial
relations with the italian govern:
ment. suggesting that the best way OF
opening negotiations would be for
the new Pope to appear on the balcony
on the outside Of St. Peters after the
election. instead Of on the inside bal.
cony. as has been the case since 1870.
The correspondent recalls that ex-
actly 400 years ago the last foreign
that it is interesting to observe how
strong the current in favor Of a for
eign Pope is today. but declares that
1t is extremely improbable q foreigner
will be chosen. since the war prevents
the foreign cardinals from uniting.
The voting may be expected to follow
these broad lines:
'.The French do not desire to see
diplomatic relations opened between
Italy and the Vatican, since France,
which has taken the place Of Austria
as the greatest Catholic power. would
then lose the advantage she gained
by sending an ambassador to the holy
see. Therefore. the French, Bel8fans
and Poles probably will vote for the
irreconcilables'
Most Of the other nations are in
favor Of the far-reaching foreign
policy of the late Pope. and As many
Of the Italian cardinals are decidedly
sympathetic to the central powers,
solution of the Roman question and
activity in foreign politics may well
be man who is especially popular
in Germany. The Jesuits especially
election of q pro-German.
Thus possibly there may be q for.
eign Pope. The general expectation is
that the British cardinals will vote
