GOMPROMISE NOW EXPECTED

Rome, Jan. 28.-Several republican
--members Of the chamber of deputies
fare considering Interpolation of Pre-
tmier Bonomi upon the advisabi4fty of
the Italian government officially rec
sognizing the pope. The attitude Of
ethe Sacred college of the church tow
ard a rapprOachement is expected to
be defined in its choice Of a successor
to the late Pope Benedict.
The republican deputies became in
lterested in the question when they
learned that President de Conola, of
the chamber, in accord with the gov
ernment's policy, intended to pro-
fnounee eulogy for the pOntfff when
sfhe chamber reconvened on February
?. which is also the date on which the
sacred college will convene to choose
the new pope.
Semi-official newspapers yesterday
published the statement that Signor de
Nicola and President Tittoni of the
senate, were to announce officially
from the tribunes of their respective
houses the death of Benedict and pro-
tnounce a eulogy, as is the custom after
ethe death of foreign potentates. I'm
mediately several demands for inter
Hpellattons were placed upon Signor de
Nicolas desk, one OF which protested
against what it termed the Official
recognition of the vatican by the visit
of Signor Mauri, minister of agricul-
sture of the Holy See.
GdAAlOAiC III ROVER.
IS Conferences were held turnout the
afternoon in which Premier Bonomi
and Signor de Nicola and Tittoni en-
gdeavored to induce the deputies to
postpone or withdraw their interpella-
lion so as to make eulogy of the
pontiff unanimous Premier Bonomi
having taken the stand that he would
associate himself and the name of the
government with the declaration Sig
nor de Nicola expressed the hope that
no orator nor any group will take
the responsibility of marring the
demonstration of sympathy which
must be unanimous"
The Catholic party, commanding 10
votes and holding the balance of
tpower among the widely divergent ele-
ments composing the ajority of the
italian chamber is unanimous in its
Eqesire that the eulogy be pronounced.
IN the face of this determined attitude
tine interpellators are understood to be
Afavering and it is stated that they
lnay not openly oppose the demonstra-
ton but content themselves with alb
staining from voting upon or partipat-
lhg in it.
Compromise Is Expected.

late of the Roman Catholic chuEch.
