that an elfort will be made to abolish

Foreign Minister Delcasso will pre

with the Vatican, and Premier
Combs will sot forth thoattltudo and
intentions of tho government. The

they say the present feolinp may lead
to that result when the propriatlon

before the chamber a month hence,
at which time the budget for foreign

The ollicials here oo not credit the
report circulated by tho Tribuna of

friction with tho pope.
Members of the diplomatic corps
say it is delinitely settled that the

containing the clause intimating
that, the papal would be withdrawn
if other and similar visits wor
made to King Vlctcr Emmanuel.
