Cardinals tfxchange Ideas.
An exchange of Ideas took place regard
ing the ceremonies preceding the conclave. ,
When Cardinal OregMa asked for the ad
vice of i one of the cardinals . present, the
latter replied;
"It Ih. difficult, to ;tve advice. Indeed,
you must lejch ui whn( to do. as not one
nt n has ever participated In a conclave."
The following telegram, dated Molds, '
Norway, has been received by Cardinal i
Oreglla from the -German emperor:
MOLDE, Norway,' July 20. 1H03. I am
painfully affected by the sad news I have
just received. I send to the illustrious
college -of cardinals the expression of my
sincere sympathy at the grievous loss the
Roman- Catholic church has sustained
througlV the demise of the pope. I shall
always retain a faithful memory of the
exalted and venerable man, who was a
personal friend of mine, and whose extra
ordinary gifts of heart and mind compelled
"my admiration only a few weeks ago on
the occasion, of my last visit to Rome.

immediately communicated - to the press,
but under the rule ( 'which requires

; Rome Not la stenrnlng.
Through ' the night and early morning
several emblems xst grief were displayed,
but the main thoroughfare did not present
a spectacle of universal, mourning. No
flags were half-masted and no buildings
were shrouded In crape, as when the tem
poral rulers pass away. iThe closo and
other busy centers presented the usual
scenes of 'animation. It was in the poorer
aectlons of the city that the evidence of
grief ware most manifest. Entering the
Borgo 'district,' leading to the Vatican, the
hum of 'excitement attending tha event
was more, .apparent. A .line of carriage
bearing diplomats swung through the nar
row lane, called the Via Borgo, leading to
the piaxxa of Bt. Petera. ,
Coming to the plana of Bt. Petera a
scene of vital interest began to unfold
Itself. There was not the slightest sign
of bustle or confusion. The vast expanse
enclosed within the atately colonnade
looked majestic In its serenity. Although
groups hurried here and there, their pres
ence was completely lost In the vastness
of the whole.
Near the esplanade there waa now and
then a sign of mourning. The main
entrance '"of the Vatican showed the
brief evidence of activity. As the
carriages drove up with distinguished pre
lates the heavy Iron chains continued to
keep back the crowd, leaving a narrow
atsle for the arriving dignitaries. Behind
the chains were massed a crowd of curi
ous sightseers. The official presence of the
Italian .soldiery was kept noticeably In the
background. Near the stone steps stood
an officer of tho Italian Grenadiers in fa
tigue uniform and cup, with a amall de
tachment of soldiers, so broken Into squads
that they did not have tha appearance of
beln lit martial array. With them were
the Vatican and municipal police in their
somber uniforms, with broad chapeaus,
soma topped with little blue pompona.
Tha ponderous bronsa doors of the Vat
ican were closed, presenting a front which,
might ive withstood an army. The only
mean of Ingres waa a amall opening cut
through the solid bronse bas reliefs. Be
hind Oils tiny entrance, only wide enough
to admit a single person, stood a Swiss
guard, with fixed bayonet. Aa the card),
nala and diplomats came up they went to
the tiny door, knocked and were admitted.

which the tackle will be operated to hoist
the coffin Into place. .The resting place ior
the casKet is a marble slab about fifteen
feet above the pavement, forming the up
per casement of one of the massive doers.
On either aide are great marble etoplds
while the light comes dimly from- abore,
through two domes surrounded by ex
quisite modules, one showing th apostles
and saints and another an angelic chorus.
The workmen pounded and called out their
commands. In strange contrast with the
solemn surroundings.
The. Interior of- the church wa as yet
undraped with mourning. The masslva
crimson hangings had been removed, bring
ing out the ghastly whiteness of the co
lossal marble nave. At the further end
could be seen groups of priest, kneeling
about tho tomb of St. Peter, where scores
of tapers burn unceasingly. Only tho usual
musses were said during the morning, a
the ceremonials In connection With the
death of the pope have yet to be arranged.
Within the right nave still another prep
aration for the pope' obsequies were going
on. This was the preparation of the chapel
of the holy sacrament for receiving his
body after Its removal from the Vatican.
Cardinal Resplghl, the vicar of Rome,- had
given order for these arrangement. Al
though Cardinal Oreglla has uprm com
mand of the interest of the church. It Is
Cardinal Resplghl who has been given im
mediate charge of the personal affair re
lating to the dead pop.
The beautiful chapel waa for the time
being Invaded by sweepers and cleaner,
who poured bucket of water on the mosalo
pavement and then began scouring it Th
front of the chapel is .cut off from th main
church by a massive trellce, through which
th faithful can look on th altar, within.
This Is of solid brass, with bras kneeling
angels. Before the altar la a narrow space,
where Leo' coffin will be deposited when
It tomes from the Vatican. Thl space Is
so small that the foot of the casket will
extend to the Iron trellce. Th purpose of
this arrangement is to carry out th an
cient ceremony by which the Actual foot
of the dead pontiff will extend through
the iron bars, to permit the kneeling faith
ful to approach and kiss the last remnant
of former papel authority through it. . This
morning people crowded about the grating
and gazed at the preparation going on
within.
TALK AS TO THE NEW POPE
Condition Are Bach He Mar Be Man
Hot Yet Mentioned for
tho Place.
ROME, July 21. According to a state
ment coming from a high ecclesiastical
source, the arrangement at the Vatican
are being pressed forward which will en
able tha conclave of cardinals to begin
sitting August 1. However, It 1 thought
tha sessions msy last considerably longer
than at first expected even long enough
to permit Cardinal Moran of Bydney, N. 8.
W., to arrive In time to take part in the
proceedings..
An ambassador accredited to he Vatican
says the question of Pope Leo' successor
I a peculiarly open one at tha present
moment. Tha personality of the candidates
playa a much more Important part than In
any preceding conclave, since th condi
tions prevailing In the past are now en
tirely changed.
Formerly the sacred college was dkvlded
Into aeveral distinctive parties. There was,
first, that composed of the cardinal who
were member of the great Roman fami
lies, nearly everyone of which wa repre
sented In the colleges. These always ex
erted very powerful Influence in the elec
tion of a pope. At the present time there
la only one scion of a great Roman house
among the cardinals, namely, Cardinal
Battlsta Casall del Drago, who, from the
standpoint of the election of a new pon
tiff, is relatively unimportant. Then there
were parties composed of cardinal ap
pointed by the same pope, who usually
ranged themselves Into separate bodies. In
addition to the members of the sacred col
lege apolnted by the pope who had then Just
passed away, ther were usually consid
erable numbers chosen by hi predecessor,
and then a few nominated by th pope
preceding him.
In consequence of Leo XIII's long reign,
these parties hav entirely disappeared. In
the present conclave there will be only
one cardinal, Cardinal Oreglla, who waa
not apolnted by Pope Leo. As a result of
these changed conditions, the approaching
conclave will be much more under the ln-
nuenoe or Individual randldatea than in the
past, rendering - it impossible to forecast
the election with any degree of certainty.
It Is considered highly probable that th
new pope will be a man at present not
thought of and not talked about.
The Trlbuna today published an inter,
view with Cardinal 8vampa, archbishop of
Bologna, who, the paper says, has quite
recovered from his stroke of paralysis.
Th cardinal I quoted saying:
Th conclave will be verv short
the last two. At the utmost I hnv
may take one week, as now ther does not
exist In th acred oolleBe the marked po
litical differences of other times. There
fore, It will be possible to arrive at an
understanding more easily and quicker.
The Interviewer asked the cardinal what
ha thought the policy of th future pop
would b In regard to th ao-called Roman
question. Will It remain rigidly unchanged,
or will th new pope inaugurate modus
Vivendi, which many persons in both camps
wish forT
Cardinal Svampa replied:
No on today ran Bay with certainty
anything about that. But It must not be
foignttvn that whoever is elected will bring
something personal Into th attitude of th
Holy Be regarding that question. oni

IN HONOR OF LATE PONTIFF
Memorial Service of Omaha niocese
Will He Held Here
Thursday-.
The first local official notice of the demise
of Pope Leo XIII was taken by Father
Colanrrl, . chancellor of the diocese, who
Issued the following circular addressed to
the priests of the diocese:
The Great Leo XIU has gone to his
reward, and while the church is mourning
the beloved Father of Christendom, ask the
people under your care to offer up special
prayers that Uod may soon grant us
another shepherd like unto Leo. To this
end. Kev. rather, you will please discon
tinue, for the time being, the oratlo
lmperata "Pro Quacumque Necessitate" and
In Its place recite the oratlo "De Splrltu
Sancto.1'
Bishop Bcannell will return from Colorado
Wednesday and on Thursday there will be
held the memorial service of the diocese
In honor of the late pontiff. At that service
the bishop will be present at the celebration
of the mass, and may be the celebrant,
but this Is not definitely decided. In case
ho doe not act In that capacity the cele
brant will be Father Colanerl. The bishop
will preach the sermon.
The exact church at which this service,
will be held is not settled upon, but at that
time no other church In the See city will
hold services, to enable the priests and
people to attend the service In which the
bishop will participate. Buch other services
aa will be held In the church of the
diocese, as to time and character, are in the
hands of the pastors of the different par
ishes, with the exception of the change In
the prayers of the mass, as Indicated above.
GIBBONS OUTLINES PROGRAM
Cardinal Leave Instruction Which
Will Likely Govern Chnrehes
In I'nlted States.
BALTIMORE, July 21. Before Cardinal
Gibbon departed for Romo he left with
Rev., Dr.' William A. Fletcher, rector of the
cathedral, an outline of the services he de
sired held In the churches of this province,
and which will supposedly be followed by
all Catholic churches throughout the
TTnlted Btates. The plan Is set forth in
the following statement furnished , by Dr.
Fletcher today at the request of the Asso
ciated Press:
Prior to his departure for Rome his emi
nence desired that a solemn pontifical re
quiem mass be celebrated In the cathedral,
to which all the bishops of this province
and the reverend clergy of the archdiocese
will be invited.
The mass in the cathedral will take place
on the day of the funeral In Rome. Right
Rov. Bishop Curtis will officiate. The dis
course will be preached by Right Rev.
Bishop Donahue of Wheeling.
The ceremonies and music will be of the
most impressive character.
The cathedral will be draped in mourning
within and without for thirty days.
Every evening until after the funeral, at
the hour of the de profundas, 7 o'clock, the
cathedral bell will be tolled for thirty
minutes.
This is the program which has been
adopted for the cathedral. No doubt the
pastors of the other churches will make
similar arrangements.
FREEDOM FOR THE CARDINALS
Pope Leo Leave s Bnll by Which
Method of election I .
Changed. NEW TORK. July 21.-An unverified re
port, published by the Temps and cabled by
the Paris correspondent of the Herald,
says: ,. - , rjj'
At the death of Leo XIII a certain num
ber of bulls were found which partially
changed the form of the conclave. Thl In
fact will no longer be a conclave, properly
speaking, as the cardinals will not be re
stricted as to their movements.
They will simply assemble twice a day
for deliberations and balloting, without be
ing constrained to live In common, which
is always harrowing for ill and infirm
cardinals.
They will take an oath each time they
leave the Vatican to reveal nothing s.nd not
to be Influenced by any government.
The pope has a right to modify the
method of election and bulls to that effect
remain In force until modified or abrogated
by a succeeding pope. Leo XIII Bhortly be
for the death of Plus IX, when he was
camerllngo, made several modification In
the rule governing the conclave. It Is not
unlikely, however, that he had planned
more modifications more essential and ap
propriate to jnodern tlmea.
LEO FRIEND OF AMERICA
Freedom of the Church Here Afforded
Great Consolation to
Pontiff.
NEW TORK, July 21. Archbishop Farley
of thla city ha paid his tribute to the
dead pope In the following language:
The history of hut pontificate, with Its
marvels and its blessings, point to Leo XIII
aa having been pre-eminently a chosen In
strument In the hands of Divine Providence
His paternal, solicitude extended to all
peoples. America always had a large share
of both his pronounced aftoction and his
anxious care.
With what emotion I recall the words
that fell from those venerable lips as I
bade farewell at the end of a memorable
audience, aner ne naa listened to an ac
count of the progress of the church in this,
our dlocess, during his own lifetime. "Ah,"
h. .U M 11 II 1 1 H nr.tr . U ,7 trials AmaI I.
my consolation. There the church enjoys
liberty. In the United Btates she Is free
to build her churches and her schools un
molested. Here In Rome, I, the vicar of
Christ, am as a slave, deprived of free
action. In Italy, in France, the church Is
being persecuted by those who should de
fend her. Thank God for the consolation
that comes to us from free America."
Governments Will Not Interfere.
PARIS, July 21. The Associated Press
la authorized by the French Foreign office
to aay that the French government ha
taken no steps to exert any Influence on
the conclave and it is believed the other
Catholic states will adopt the sam course.
It Is Improbable that a change in the
head of the Holy See will result In any
change in the relations of Franc to the
Vatican, unless tha new pope proves to be
another Plus IX. but that Is a matter
wherein 'It 1 impossible to express an
opinion 'until the new pope Is elected.
While the French sympathies lean to
ward Cardinal Rampolla, no ateps are be
ing taken in his favor.
The cardinal archbishop of Paris ha or
dered a solemn mass for the repose of the
soul of the pope at Notre Dame on Tues
day next.

by General Gomes, nas' raged madly.
Block after block was disputed, the gov

the houses had been barricaded and the
revolutionists had been forced from flat
roofs, called axotoas. When the revolution
ists finally abandoned the houses, after
having taken all that could be used for bar
ricades, or to otherwise, stop the advance
of the government troops, they were Im
mediately occupied by the government sol
diers, who bored big holes In the walla so as
to communicate with thn next house.

protect the women fell, struck by bullets.
In the mlddlo of the street what, with
the firing, the yells of the wounded and the
crying of the women and children, a terrible
scene was witnessed, bad enough to dis
gust anybody forever with civil war.

The government troops, however, acted
with humanity, especially the forces of Gen

first to order ' the attacking party to be
merciful.
At 8 o'clock this morning the govern
ment generals, having effected a Junction of
their forces, north and south,' and having
received further supplies and ammunition,
decided to push the attack on the center of
the city. At 10 o'clock the government
troops had captured the north Bide of the

The number of National Guard troops

Is hardly probable, however, that mors than
