P.)-l he lime for the funeral of Pope Bene dict XV has been fixed as Thursday afternoon, it was ollicially announced late today. This decision will hold unless it appears that previous burial is advisable, in which case the final rites will occur tomorrow. Rome, Jan. 24. (By A. P.) Vhlle thousands streamed nast h,' bier of Benedict XV in the Basilica of ot. Meters todav to nav reverence to 'the dead prelate, cardinals of the i church were on their way from manv loreign countries to participate m the election of a new pope, The brief interval before the con vening of the conclave, which has been set for February 2, will, how ever, prevent some of them notably Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia yu me, vnduiaii ana nrazinan car dinalsfrom arriving in time to vok', unless the election is unduly pro longed, t Cardinal O'Connell of Boston has cabled that he was tak ing passage today, and has a pos sible chance to enter the election providing the new pope is not chosen on' the first ballot. ' No Outstanding Figure. There is no outstanding fieure among the candidates for. the high post but Cardinal Maffi, archbishop of P113, is prominently mentioned as the goveri)ment,'s choice. Others be fnjj. discussed re Cardinal LaFon tame of Venice and Cardinal Ratti of Milan. .Estimates, of the number of per sons who- filed past the bier of the pope yesterdav ranged between 200, 000 and 300,000, and it was expected these figures would be largely ex ceeded today. ' Favor Agreement. The reception at the Vatican of an Italian cabinet minister last Saturday and the halfmasting of the flag on the quirinal in mourning for the pope are commented upon at length by both the press and public There are many expressions favoring an agree ment between the government and the Vatican,' and these two events are. being pointed toA as significant of such. a possibility. While there seems to be no doubt that the next pope will be an Italian, the newspapers -draw a distinction between Italian popes, expressing the hope that the next pontiff may be one who will put an end to, the 'loug difference between the church and the Italian government.
