Corner Sixteenth and Douglas St hands of the sacred college as lta tempor ary custodian during the Interregnum. The perfect administrative machinery of the church provided against the slightest Interruption of the governing authority. As the senior member of the sacred college Cardinal Oreglla, to whom the pope today solemnly confided the Interests of the church, has now become the exponent of the cardinals until Tope Leo's successor is elected. Oreglla Leo's Antithesis. The cardinal Is th exact antithesis of Pope Leo, having none of the late pontiff's i-mrtfithAftlrt mnA HfiAvnlTit characteristics, Ho ccmcs from a noble Pledmontese stock and his nobility is shown In his haughty and austere bearing. He is not popular among his colleagues or the Romans, and his brtraque manner has. earned him the title of "the Piedmont bear." He" is tall and robust and his 74 years are shown by the whiteness of his hair. His face has the tawny hue of old parchment and Is deeply lined. Despite his austerity the. cardinal's learning and piety are universally recog nised. This Is the man who for the time being ! practically pope. It ' was he who issued the orders to clear the Vatican from Intruders Immediately following Pops Leo's death. The death occurred at a time when all was clniilarly calm about the Vatican, as people had been so long expecting the final summons that their sensibilities wero well nigh numbed. Outside St. Peter'g the empty trolley cars swung slowly around the loop and across the square Into the cool' shade of the great colonnade, which for over two centuries has been the rlde of. Roman architecture.. The, clunf tt the car-bells rwas the only noise -which" dispelled the tra ditional peacefulness of an Italian after noon. Now and again pne of. those little open carriages In 'whlohJ alt Rom rides rattled aoross the baked" Vesuvlah stone with which the square of St. Peter's Is paved and .took Its' place in the' cab rank, which lies In the shadow of Michael An,, gelo'a 400 columns. Bustle Replaces Idleness. A few half-naked urchins dawdled In the., spray which a light breeie blew from the fountain that plays unceasingly beside the huge obelisk, brought to- Romefrom Egypt by some conquering emperor. A few yards away, beside the bronee doors which lead to the-Vatlcan, some twenty or thirty men and boy and a handful ot gendarmes lastly awaited the news.. Inside the Swiss guards lolled on a bench and complained of the heaU Scarcely a soul passed up the marble- staircase and the courtyard of San Damaso was deserted except for the heavy black carriages of the cardinals and their coachmen, who were awaiting their mas ters. It was the hour of .the siesta. Noth ing could have been more peaceful. Oc casionally one of th more energetic among the watchers ventured Into the sun to take another glance at -the pope's room, which, kept closely shuttered; was In perfect har mony with the quiet scene It overlooked. At 4:20 a roan dashed madly across St. Peter's square, then quit, empty. A sec ond later another followed on a bicycle. Within a few seconds, as If by . magic, newspapermen, gendarmes and messengers, running, driving and gesticulating, dashed to and from the portals of the Vatican. Like a wireless message the words, "He la dead," , flashed round the Eternal city. Bronao Door Close Tight. Rubbing the afternoon sleep from their eyes, bare-headed men and women, many carrying babies, emerged from the dark ened houses and cafes and besieged the door of th Vatican. The transformation was complete. The' quick movement and tens feeling of the rapidly gathering crowd now permeated where a few minutes be. fore there had been no sign of life. The French ambassador's carriage drove fu- rtously from the Vatican and drew up at a nearby, telegraph office. Without waiting for the horses to stop the ambassador lumped out and notified his government of th pope's death. There soon followed th cardinals, who with set faces drove slowly homeward. Behind the shutters of Pop Leo's room, which, still remain closed, all was over. Th heavy bronse doors were swung to; and entrance to the Vatican was only ob tatned by knocking at the little wicket. which was closely kept within bjr the papal guard and without by the Italian police Th latter had been slightly reinforced. but had no difficulty In controlling the crowds, who were allowed to remain In the square, Just as they wer accustomed to do before -th death, but not to enter the , Vatican Uself. Carriages kept rattling up, their occu panta -mostly holding In then- hands extra editions announcing th pope's death, which, th local" papers quickly got out On the step of St. Peter's sat a group of young Roman princes discussing th situa tion.

A few entered the basilica Itself and there offered up prayers for the pope's soul. Among the supplicants were many monks, Who, With hands up. lifted, prayed long and earnestly at ' the gates of the dlmly-llghted shrines'. Last Day Fnll ol Pain. Pope Leo's last day, on earth was full of physical pain and was heightened. by fleet ing moments of consciousness, which per mitted him to fully recognise the slow ap proach of his end. The complete coma of ; last night was broken by perlodsof lucld- lty. When the doctors assembled In 'the room for the morning conference the ""r ana mourn fully said their task would soon, be over. The doctors recognised that the catastrophe was near and so informed Cardinals Ram polla and Oreglla and the other leading figures of the sacred . ( college. Towards noon the pontiff suffered a se vere relapse, during which his heart almost ceased to beat. The cardinals and Pope Leo's relatives were hastily summoned and word spread through the Vatican that death had actually occurred, but denplte the Imminence of danger, the pope again rallied. Even while the cardinals atood about the bedside expecting his death th sufferer, opened his eyes and his lips moved with words of benediction. He recognised and spoke to Cardinal Oreglla, and - atlll thinking of the church he loved so well, confided Its Interests to the dean of the sacred college. The cardinals, prelates and the dying man's relatives kneeled beside the bed and kissed his hands. For two hours the pope lingered In a state of semi consciousness. About 2 o'clock lt,1ecame apparent that his. lit, was - fast ebblna- away. The cardinals and his relatives were again summoned from tha adjedalnn cham- 'ber. . i frayeris for the.jyng were said and ab solution in artlculo tnoftls were, adminis tered.

Some slight signs of consciousness remained, and the dying . pontiff muttered soma Inaudible words. Gradually, his power of speech and sight were blunted and he could neither see nor speak. Thus the chill of death quietly spread over him until at 4 the strug gle ended and ha passed. Into the endless sleep of eternity. By a strange coincidence today la the birthday of former Queen Marguefita, the mother of King Victor Emmanuel,! and flags had been put all. over the city In her nonor, giving a , fesUv appearance, but no salutes were fired so that th pontiff might not be disturbed. - In Rom after the, death had Wnm known many of the flags wer withdrawn and shops closed.

" A little scene which, occurred today will, better than anything else, illustrate wliat Is Jhe present feeling between the two parties wiuca so bitterly fought against on an other until 1870, when th temporal power fell.

PAUL, July 20. Upon the receipt of the news of the death' of the pope, Archbishop- Ireland paid, the following tribute to tho dead pontiff: - - Ih Leo a truly ' great and .

K'uuiniwn Intellectual firmament, has .fallen, mxlon i a mighty void which soon MaJn may no't be tilled. Great and good Leo truly was" fashioned so by nature and by grace divine. What a mind! Loftiest it was In vision, reaching out to vastest horizons, soaring upward to nignesi regions or tnougnt and truth. And how quickly in action that mind of Leo was, that view piercing in glance. How rich and varied the store of knowl edge. Rapidly a he conversed he would travel from literature to science and art, from theology to diplomacy every where the manifest master; everywhere the cul tured scholar. . - Ambitions to Live In History. And then, he was ambitious to put to irotlt his talents, ambitious to do great hlngs. When he ascended the nontilUal throne he resolved that so far as oppor tunity came nis wouw De a nistoric pon tificate, and to that end he wurked during his life. He lived and wurked Durelv for God and for men. He met kines and peasants; men of highest social rank and of lowest bowed bctore his graciousneaa. i ner is no post, oi nonor and duty so elevated, so sublime, as the Roman pontifi cate, the treasury of centuries of inspira tion, the world's thair of moral authority, ruling directly 260,000,000, of every tribe and ever nation, ruling indirectly ty the silent prestige of Its name and power, by the vast spiritual force of this life and teachings, the entire humanity. Into that pontificate Leo entered; In It he reigned, as only two of his predecessors reigned, a quarter of a century leaving posterity to record that In him the Catholic church has had the most wondrous of wondrous sovereigns and hu manity one of Its ablest thinkers and high est exemplars of fidelity to God-given duty. Volumes will be written to narrate the things done by Leo. In a hurried eulogy there Is room only to note the general re sults he has accomplished. Leo's services were, of course, primarily to the church. Leo made the church known to the modern world, as It wished to be made known. In one encyclical after another he discoursed on the vital moral and dogmatic principles which constitute Its doctrinal life, to the end especially of making clear their social and clvto value. show Church a It la. By dint of wise words and acts he tore to shreds th thick veils of prejudice and mis understanding which, as the consequence of strifes and controversies of centuries, had been living features. Liberty, civil and po litical. Individual rights, education, the progress of science and of discovery, the material comfort of the masses all this Leo In the name of the church blessed and advocated. Today th Catholic church Is universally admitted to be In the van ef humanity's forward march and for this Leo is to be thanked. . All humanity has been benefited by him. He never hesitated to reach out beyond the formal confines of the church to serve hu manity, to serve nations and men, who were not of the fold of the church. One of the most meaningful of. the acts of Leo was his announcement to the Cath olics ot France that it was their moral duty to adhere to the republic and the doc trlnnj teaching regarding modern Ideas and forms of government Involved In that an nouncement. It waa, too. - a - masterful stroke of diplomacy. Ali the Catholics of France did not follow Ieo. Their political traditions held the field; today they are suffering from their short-sighted con servatism and their disobedience toward Leo. No other man reigned at th dawn of the twentieth century as Leo reigned. It was th supreme triumph of moral pwer the triumph of truth and of Justice, the tri umph of a soul filled with truth and Justice. With Leo there dies the admirer and lover of America, Said he to a bishop from America one day: "Oh. America; It ' is th future." lo's clear vision of things far away in time as well as In space had endeared America to htm. As no other statesman In Europe, Leo understood America its possibilities and the meaning of its Institu tions. Nothing In the circumstances connected with, the Illness and dxath of Leo does sa much honor to him nd so much honor to our rominon human nature as the sincere and outspoken interest taken In him by the non-Catholic world, vxpecially In the I'nlted 8tates. In America th Associated Press daily burdened transatlantic wires with messages lengthy and sympathetic from Roma. The nwxnaefs th coun try quickly Opened their coiumna to tbos mi snd repeatedly wrote of Loo In iripnuiiest isngunse. t .

In his Inar mnmonts. ws deeply touched on hearing of thin attitude of Pro testants toward him. The world Is today the better for the sweet kindliness begotten In It by Leo. Dawn ol Fresh Papal Power. CHICAGO, July 20. Archbishop Qulgley said: . ... - It has been tha lira wnrlt nf Leo XIII to arouse the t'athoilc body In every nation to rniicntrnc.i organised enorts against ui fldel tendencies. He recognized the Intelligence and power of the people in the affairs of modern fovernment, and his appeal wn m ih.mii. n a. wnrd he ih,.a the defense of God and His church upon the enlightened de mocracy so strongly represemea i"" Catholic church throughout the nations of the world. Shall his pontificate be recorded In his tory as the dawn of restoration of the world wide power of the papacy, as of old, built upon the Catholic lalin and con sciences of the masses of the people? Will the divine founder of the church grant it a new triumph In this twcntietn century throuRh the political agencies of a chris tianized democracy? 1 firmly believe that the storv of the first half of the twentieth century upon which we are entering will answer these questions in the affirmative and credit the triumph of Christian prin ciples In society, education and govern ment over infidelity, agnosticism ana Hu manism to the glorldtis pontificate of the great pope who has passed away. BlHhop Muldoon. said: What the great artists have done In the world of art In creating their own schools which have been indices for the future, I-oo XIII has accomplished In the world of faith and science. His labors have created an entirely new atmosphere about the papacy. Greatest Man of Century. TOLEDO, July 20. Bishop Horstmann of the Cleveland diocese of the Catholic church gave out the following state ment. Pope Leo Is the greatest man of the century and the greatest man who has occupied the chnlr of St. Peter smce the death of Benedict XIV. He was the greatest friend humanity has had, having been a student of socialistic and religious subjects and having given the world the results of his studies. Oldest Prelate Praises Leo. CINCINNATI, July 20. Archbishop Wil liam Henry Elder, who became the oldest living prelate upon tho death of the pope, said: ' "It Is eighteen years since last a saw the holy father, In 1S85, and during that period so much has been accomplished by him that ho has become the marvel of the age. , , . . "At the time I saw him last he impressed me with his learning and Intellectuality, for even then he was an old man.' I had seen him before and knew him. Since that time his activities have been so far reach ing that they have challenged the admira tion of th world. He has been a great man and a holy man. His writings have done great good for society In general In the dissemination of advice and truth, and thinkers, Irrespective of creed, have shown their appreciation of his teachings. "While the singular purity and modesty of his life have won for-him great admira tion, his most lasting monument will be the work he has don for the amelioration of mankind, th aid of the laboring classes and the defense f right and Justice. For the church bo nas be" great pontiffs Our dealings with him in an official capacity have always been fraught with much con sideration, and It : is only becoming an American to feel gratitude toward Leo XIII for th interest he has maintained in the church in America and in this country in general." " -'' J ' ; Decisions Always Rt-ht. ST. LOUIS, July 20. Bishop John J. Gleh npt, coadjutor , to (ffhbshop KalnJ who-is now in a Baltimore sanitarium for-' bis health, says of thejata Pope Leo: ' He was a man who-'.was' foremost in all the events of th world. His decision was felt alike In every 'country of Europe. No man had as much Influence for good In the last two decades as he had. His prov inn waa neither Dolltics nor diplomacy, but which nhT h's hand was visible in most of the prom sav? unusual lnPnt events" and it was always for good. "UH?1 There has hot been a character in our twi has hot V In any day In the history, of th. hh pontiff who has had so much to contend with as Leo XIII, and who has : .,. wnrk n wel .

' - ' He was a man who seemed to understand all things. One of his Ideas was that the churches which had pru.ng from the Cath ollo church should come back to the par ent church, and he had great faith that this would be don. One of the Ablest Pontiffs. SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-Archblshop Montgomery, coadjutor for the diocese of California, said: rnthnllrai In aeneral and priests and blsh ops particularly who were familiar perhaps more than others with the entire life of Pope Leo, regarded him as one of the ablest of pontiffs. His writings showed him to be most versatile In his knowledge. ' , Combines All Kinds Of Popes. SANTA FE, N. M., July 20. Bishop B. J Pitaval, In charge of the archdiocese of Santa Fe during the absence of Archbishop Peter Rourgad- lit France, said: Renalllnar an old saving, current in Rome. to the effect that there are three kinds of popes, the scnoiar, tne statesman anu tne man of prayer, we can well observe that all three were commneu in uca aiu ONE WHO MAY SUCCEED LEO Next Pope Is Believed to Be Included In the List Here De scribed. At tho time of the death of Cardinal Parocchl, which happened recently, there was much speculation In regard to tho probable successor of Pope Leo, as in the list of candidates Cardinal Parocchl was regarded as one of the most important. Next to him was Cardinal Seraflno Vannu telll. Madame Amy A. Bernardy, writing in the Boston Transcript of the cardinals favored for the papacy at the ' time of Parocchl'a death, has the following to say: "Ther ar two members of the Vannu telll family In th Sacred college: Cardinal Seraflno and his younger brother, Cardinal Vtncenso, who acts as 'grand electeur" to his more Illustrious but not by any means more remarkable brother. In fact, Cardl nal Vincenxo has the reputation of being a better diplomatist even than his brother, and perhaps the best diplomatist that the Vatican can boast of at present. Tho Eml nantlsslmo Seraflno Vannutelll has a great regard for his brother; and almost 'every evening he can be seen walking from his own residence to the Palasso Rlccl, where the Emlnentlsslmo Vlncento lives, to en Joy his dally talk with htm. Vlncenso Van nutelll is a roan of experience and of re markable mental powers. His life hai been on of strife and struggle all through, H was military chaplain to the popa'i troops during th Italian war of 1867-70, and saw the fights and helped th wounded and comforted the dying on the battle fields. Later he tried to plan an accord with the Oriental churches at Constanti nople; he did good work for th church as nuncio to Portugal and attended at Bt. Petersburg the coronation of the car, and at Brussels th uchaiistio congress. 11 la devoted to his brother, even as his brother la to him, and leads in his nam a strong party of supporters, almost entirely recruited from th ranks of Cardinal Par occhl' enemies. Seraflno Vannutelll, hay ing been born at Genasxano, in th very heart of the old pontifical domains, and completed his studies in Rom In that same Colleglo Capranlca that has given so many wis and learned men to -. th church, I vary favorably known among th local clergy; In fact, h Is th cardinal most popular with th. Roman-born priests, who con stitute a powerful and fretful organisation within and without the Vatican walls. 8eraflno Vannutelll has also traveled ex tensively, having been sent on official busi ness from Mexico to Bavaria, from Ecua dor and Peru to Brussels and Vienna, ac quiring not little notoriety when. In 1879, evidences being given by the Belgian cabi net, of disrespect to the church and Its representatives, Vannutelll, then plain mon Big nor, gathered his belongings and departed In dignified but Implacable wrath from the Belgian capital. He is also said to have once disagreed with the pope himself about going as a bishop to Bologna, which post Leo XIII had thought fit to bestow upon him without consulting him first. It was then that the Emlnentlsslmo Seraflno es tablished for himself the reputation of a man who has a head of his own, and Im paired somewhat his chances of being chosen as the successor of the pope, whose good nature he had so severely tried. Three or four years elapsed before the pope could forget and forgive the non submlssiveness of the cardinal, whose learning, wit, character and generally bril liant qualities succeeded, after all. In re storing to him the alienated affections of the holy father. "Cardinal Vannutelll, It may finally be re marked, Is one of those few cardinals who would be willing that the church should come to some sort of understanding, I cannot exactly say friendly, but at least officially, with the Italian government In Rome; and, therefore,-his election to the Holy See would meet with the approval of the greater majority of Italians. Cardinal Gottl. "The Emlnentlsslmo Glrolamo Maria Gottl Is another of the very few 'tolerant' cardinals, and his name, together with those of Vannutelll and Svampa, seems to recur most frequently In forming the trio from which It Is most probable that the next pontiff will emerge. Long, long ago the holy Abbot Malnchlas wrote a series of prophetic mottoes supposed to contain symbolically the names of the forthcoming pontiffs of the Roman church. From the book of the Abbot Malachlas It resulted most clearly that the pope following Plus IX would have been a 'lumen de coelo' (light from heaven), Cardinal Peccl, who had a bright star in his coat-of-arms, felt encouraged, and became pope. Still, ac cording to the wise abbot, following the light from heaven a burning fire will ap pear 'Ignis ardeus.' Well, Cardinal Gottl has a flaming torch In his coat-of-arma. -nut the third of the trio also boasts of a flaming torch as heraldic device; he Is Cardinal Svampa, archbishop of Bologna, one of the youngest cardinals, one of the most charitable and generally respected, and one of the most tolerant, and, appar ently, most unconscious of his own capaci ties and opportunities, And he has, be sides, a great advantage for himself he lives outside the daily strife and struggle of the Roman court and, since the 'new ness' of the man seems to be a most Im portant requisite of the future pope, SvamPa really seems to have excellent chances. "Both he and Gottl keep protesting that they do not wish the pontificate, feeling, as they do, far too humble and modest for such an exalted position; Gottl being prin cipally a man of learning nnd of meditative and extremely simple h.tblts, Svampa de lighting In a modest, charitable,. unostenta tious existence. . Cardinal Oreglla. "These three men. Gottl, Vannutelll and Svampa, are, so to say, stars of first mag nitude in the Vatican horizon. Mlnor'llghts are, however, not to be forgotten,, and among the minor lights the Emlnentlsslmo Lulgl Oreglla dl Santo Stefano shines the brightest. I have already said that he Is the one surviving cardinal created by Plus IiX,'at wjpse .death- he Insisted that the conclave should b held out of Italy, his Idea' being strongly supported by Parouhl and Ledochowskl. Oreglla dl Santo Stefano comes from a noble old Pledmontese fam ily; he Is rich, both in wealth and In wis dom, and has held honorably various hon orable posts. He is also a remarkable lin guist, and, being dean of the Sacred college, and having a brother who Is a Jesuit, he can boast of wide Influence and of strong supporters, especially because of the well known hostility of the Jesuits against Car dinal Rampolla. Moreover, he Is one of the favored few that can turn for hop to the wonderful pages of Abbot Malachlas; he has for Ancestral device an altar enriched with a burning flame. He la said tfi be In mind and beliefs somewhat akin to Pope Leo, with whom, however, he has. It Is well known, more than once notoriously dis agreed. He is of quiet and, retiring dis position, modest in his way of living and most generous In, charities, about which ha thinks the less said the letter. But he has an iron will, and, when roused, sticks doggedly to his own opin ion. As dean of the Sacred College, he will also be 'camerlengo' of the church; that Is, acting as pope from the time of the pope's death to the election of the new pope, and) he has already declared his In tention of proving a 'thoroughly good broom, that will sweep without mercy,' so that In two weeks he may have set to order several things which he does not approve In th Vatican. Of course, his double dignity of dean and 'camerlengo' gives him a power almost unlimited, the extension of which may fairly be grasped by remenv berlng that Cardinal Pucct was 'camer lengo' to the conclave from which he emerged Leo XIII. "The chief drawback to Cardinal Ca pecelatlo's chances for tho papacy Is his age. He was born In 1824, and may not see much mora of life. He Is an honest, upright, sincere man; In fact, his greatest fault may be said to be his utter, excessive frankness. He cannot be made to under stand that there are things In the world which had bettor rdtnaln untold. Cardinal Snrto. "Cardinal Sarto Is the patriarch of Venice, and he Is said to enjoy his duty Just as much as he dislikes the etiquette of the Roman court, whither he only re pairs when he cannot do otherwise; and he certainly does enjoy his duty very much, and certainly do the Venetians enjoy very much his presence In th city beloved of St. Mark. He may never be pope but he enjoys the distinction of being on of the most universally beloved and res pected cardinals. "The same cannot be stated, I regret to say, of Cardinal Ferrari, the energetic and stubborn Archbishop of Milan, whose chances for the papacy are strongly af fected by hie personal disposition. Yet, sine It cannot ba denied that he does dispose of a few votes. It were unfair or Imprudent to omit him In this review. "Finally, the name Cardinal Mariano Rampolla del Tlndaro suggests Itself, In solitary splendor not that the greater chances of becoming pope ar his; but for various reasons he stands out alone. The hostility of the Jesuits Is a great and prob ably Insuperable barrier to his success." PRESlDENf0EEPLY TOUCHED state Department, I pon News of Death, Bend Cablegram 0 Rampolla. OY8TKR BAT. N. T..
