Speculate ON Successor.
Speculation already is rife concWn-

among those most prominently men,
toned, although the election Of a
papal secretary OF state is almost
without precedent.
The college Of cardinals is under
stood to be divided into two fairly
equal groups on the subject Of Pope
Benedicts successor. Tie two groups
represent those who wish the next
Pope to come from outside of Italy
and those who think he should be q
native of Italy. The election Of a
foreign cardinal it would seem, must
be eliminated, although certain men,
bers of the sacred college, like Car
dinal Merry del Val, a native OF
Spain, do not hide their sympathies
for such an event Among the native
Italians, Cardinal Mafh of Pisa Is the
next strongly supported In ITALIAN
centers, but his advanced modern
ideas are likely to arouse opposition;
BY Cardinal Merry del Val A lead
ing figure in this group is Cardinal
de Lai. It is considered possible
that because of these two opposing
groups Cardinal Gasparri may be
chosen as a compromise between
them.
Among the Italian cardinals living
outside the country. one Of the most
eminent is Cardinal Ratti, former
nuncio to Poland.
All speculations, however, are based
on very slight data, because of the
suddenness Of Pope Benedicts death.

Much speculations has developed as
to the successor of the late church
head, but the choice here seems to
point to Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, papal
secretary Of state. and chamberlain
Of the Holy Roman Church" The car
dinal has been at the head Of the holy
see since o'clock yesterday morning
and has been secretary Of state since
October 10, 1914. when Cardinal Domen-
leo Ferrata, who was the Pope's sec-
retary at, the outset Of the administra-

The warm cordiality and affection Of
the Pope toward Cardinal GasparI1 has
been the occasion Of great surprise to
persons who are acquainted with the
rtvalries and jealousies which charac-
terize the relations between personages
who occupy corresponding positions in
civil government. This benevolent
feeling OF the Pope for his secretary
can best be exemplihed during the III
