May '22— The Pope said mass this rrorr.lr.s In the presence of sixty-four Italians and foreigners, and gave up the rest cf the day to the consideration of the difficulties with France, reading clippings from the newspapers on the subject. It seems probable that the note to th* other powers ftecarr.e public in France through the in discretion of the Principality of Monaco, the Vatican's note to wbicb was stronger than that addressed to the other Catholic States, lr. con sequence of the Vatican having been informed that Prince Albert of Monaco intended to visit the King of Itcly. A further rea6on why the not* to the Principality of Monaco was more emphatic. !t Is said at the Vatican, was be cause Prince Albert was the friend of Captain Dreyfus, and also because the Clerlco-Na tionnlists were In accord, if not In the same field, with M. Jr.ures. the Socialist leader, who started the preseut apitatlon. It is said that Prince Albert was offended be cause the late Pope Leo at h's last jubilee re fueed the Peter's Pence sent by Monaco be cause the money had Its source In gambling operations. The relations between Prince Albert and the Vatican became more strained when the latter rejected Professor Klein, translator of tha works of Kishop John L. Spaldlng, of Peoria. 111., who was proposed by Prince Albert ns Bishop of Monaco. Paris, May 21.—T he recall of M. N'lsard, French Ambassador to the Vatican, continues to be the absorbing topic here. The ambassador Is expected to arrive here to-morrow morning, when he will confer with the Foreign Minister. M. rtflrsssf. and go over the details of the rapture between France and the Vatican pre liminary to the nif-eting of the Council of Min isters on Tuesday, when 11 further line of action will bo detei niined. Contrary to general expectation, Monsignor LoreuzeW. the Papal Nuncio at Paris, will not leave his post. The Nunciature has given out the following statement' \'\< to xhc present the nuncio has received r,o orders to take his leave, nlthough the state of his health might, make it desirable. As Rome has no tast»- for replying to provocations, but is solely conscious of her rights and duties, Ifoneignor Lorenxelli does not regard his de parture as near. The tone of the Socialist papers indicates thai that powerful element has urged the govern ment to take more extreme measures. Deputy Oeralt Richard says In the "Petite R*pubUque" that the matter must proceed until the Con cordat has been dissolved. M. Clemencan. In "L'Aurore." ridicules the granting of leave to Ambassador Nisard as being wholly Inadequate, and says that it is a recall which does not recall and a rupture which does not rupture. Tht> Socialist paper "Lanterne" complains that the government has not fulfilled the promises made to the parliamentary leaders that a com plete rupture would take place, and declares that the leaving of a charge d'affaires to .airy on routine business with the Vatican will not be satisfactory. There is nothing to do. it adds, but to effect a complete withdrawal of the em bassy und the embassy staff, until not a con citrge or cook remains. The more moderate elements appear to be sat isfied with the course of the government, while the reactionary Clerical papers express regret, with the exception of "L'Autorlte," in which the Bonapartist Paul de Cassagnar expresses satisfaction that the Church declares open war against th« republic. Little is heard directly of the sentiments of the clergy, which is practically muzzled by holding offi<« under the Concordat. The Rome correspondent of the "Temps" says that Vatican official circles lay great stress upon the fact that the Pope alone directs the policy of the Holy See. When Cardinals Vannutelll, Gotti. Agliardi and Viv«s y Tuto saw the Pope on Thursday and Friday, according to the cor respondent. His Holiness foreshadowed the first stage of the conflict, namely, the recall of Am bassador Nlsard, but he declared so energet ically that he war, responsible to God alone for his actions, and was acting thus for the great est good of the Church that the cardinals did not dare to remonstrate. The correspondent adds that First Secretary of the Knit.assy M de Xavf-nne is expected In Rome to-morrow, and that he will Immediately assume charge of the embassy. It was stated at the Foreign Offl.-e this morn ing that M. de Navenne had not yet left Pails. SOT TO FILL ROME POST. Secretary Will Not Replace M. Xhard at French Embassy. Paris, May 23.

The sympathetic strike of the niann" flr»rren and oilers on the boats of the New-York, New- Haven and Hartford Company Is, according to the reports of their representatives, to assume larger dimensions. A demand for an increase in wages from $40 to $45 a month is to be ex tended to all the coast steamships, and there is a prospect that the freight handlers will also extend their demands for an increase of wages to all the coast lines. The Fall River steamboat Prlscllla came in yesterday about her usual time and left here again at 5:30 p. m.. on schedule time. During the day an heroic attempt was made with re lays of Italians to have the freight put in such shape at the different piers that it could be moved to-day easily, and It is understood that a big effort will be made to-day to move it. There are about one hundred Italians employed at each of the piers. They are boarded, fed and lodged at the piers. As It Is believed that a strong attempt will be made to-day to get the Italians to quit, additional police protection will be given. Some of the Italians Joined the unions yesterday. After a meeting of the strikers in Hudson Hall yesterday, a statement was given out by the executive committee, the gist of which was: "No matter how long this strike lasts, we will remain out until we win. We will tie up every thing from here to Boston to-morrow. There may l>e ten thousand people involved before the strike is over. We are in the fight to win, and we Intend to win." The truck drivers, who may be drawn into thf. fight if the plans of the Freight Handlers bear fruit, met at Hudson and West Tenth sts. yes terday, but, :iftf-r a heated discussion, refused to order a sympathetic strike. The delegates will meet In conference to-day at No. 1 .">.'< East Fifty third-st.. and decide whether the thirty-three thousand men whom they control shall stril-r. "W« have stopped taking westbound freight," said General Manager Jenkins, of the Fall River lime. "Eastbound freight we are still taking, but that la light al this season. Thf docks arc in perfect condition, all the freight is in order, ami we nrf waiting for the truckmen to take it off." The superintendent of the Central Vermont told the Freight Handlers yesterday that his men would not handle New-York, New-Haven and Hartford freight. STRIKE A BLOW TO FISHERMEN.

Bid Defiance to Murphy — Senator's Position Strong. Senator McCarren will retain his leadership of the Democratic organization in Kings County in spite of anything that Murphy can do. if the absolute promise of fidelity, made to him by fourteen distri. t leaders at a conference last night, is not violated. He does not believe that It will be, not in a single case. As In the pest, McCarren apparently acted just at th? right time, when, seeing that the op position was elated by recent victories, he called to meet him the thirteen district leaders who had not committed any overt acts of desertion. In addition to these thirteen was Charles W. Abrams, who, in the afternoon, had been chosen as a member of the executive committee to represent the Xlllth Assembly District in place of Deputy Tenement House Commissioner Will iam Brennan, who deserted the McCarren ranks last week. The fifteen men met at the Imperial, at Ful ton-st. and Red Hook Lane. Half a dozen other prominent politicians remained down stairs during the conference. Senator McCar ren presided. After he had described the politi cal situation plainly, and assured those present that he did not want a single man to stay with him unless he sincerely desired to do so, and that he would be glad to retire if the majority desired it, James Kane, leader of the Hid Dis trict, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That we, the executive committee men here present, do hereby express our abso lute confidence in the leadership of Senator Mc- Carren, and promise him our united support to the end. THE LINK-UP FOR THE SENATOR. Severn! of those present took occasion to ex press more fully their allegiance to McCarren in talking on the resolution. Then it was sug gested that the vote be taken by roHcaH. The following men, including all present, except Sen ator McCarren, answered aye as their names were called, and are the men whom the Sen ator expects to keep their promise and stand by him through thick and thin: !• 11 QITINK, I»t District.

To some one's facetious question as to whether the men were put on their oath, he replied, with a smile: ■■.No, i did COt want their oath. Their word 1« a? good as their bond, and i expeel them to keep their promise That William Brennnn cannot hold his own district was conclusively shown yesterday after noon, when eight of the members of the gen eral committee', who comprise the Assembly dis trict committee, met In the Seymour Club and .'■•,; to depose Brennaa as the representative la •:.• executive committee of th* district.

I will not sp^ak of the unrighteous ness the malignity, the corruption of a legis lature that makes poolselllng a felony and race track bookmaking a civil offence. 'The State constitution, as I understand it. requires the l<»i»istature to pass such laws as will prevent bookmaklng of any kind, and I don"t know what to think of the corruption of a legislature that absolutely stultified its own la ws. •'Of the two evils, poolselltng; and bookmaklng;. I perhaps regard bookmaking as the lesser, as I would death by old age In preference to death from bronchitis. Poolselltng and bookmaklng. however, are both Indefensible. So long as bookmaking is permitted at the racetrack. I do not see how poolrooms can cease to exist. The conclusion Is Irresistible." "Are you thinking of launching a movement looking to the banishment of racetrack book maklng from the State?" Captain r.oddard was asked. "I shall be glad to ro-operate with some one else to this end," he said "I consider that a man who believes that morality demands the elimination of poolrooms, but who does not also declure his conviction that bookmaklng at the racetrack should be wipe! cut. too, is nothing less than a common fakir." Theodore Connoly, Assistant Corporation Counsel, declined to discuss the references to racetrack bookmakinjc either In the State Con stitution or the Percy-Oray Racing law. The policy of the Corporation Counsel's off.cc. he told the reporter, had been to take no cogni zance of the subject until it actually had to do so. He thought the matter came rather within the purview of the District Attorney's office. District Attorney Jerome spent yesterday in I.akevlll*. Conn. "Speaking 1 generally and without having the law by me." Robert C. Taylor, one of Mr Jerome's assistants, told a Tribune reporter. 'I understand the matter rests like this: The State Constitution says: 'Nor shall any lottery or the sale of lottery tickets. poolseUlng. bookmaklng or any kind of gambling be authorized within the State, and the legislature shall pass appro priate laws to prevent offences against any of the provisions of this section.' " "The Percy-Gray law. as I understand It. pro tects the owners of racing premises and permits bookmaklnsr on the racetrack so long as the bookmaker occupies no booth or Stand, doe* Bel remain In one place, and do-s not record a bet. It is my impression thit this law makes the penalty for violation of any of these provisions the mere forfeiture Of the wager. Who is re sponsible or likely to bring such a civil action to recover Is. however, another matter. "The Percy-Gray law, as I understand it. pro vides this civil penalty to the exclusion of every other. This seems to me the joker' in the law. The constitutionality of the Percy-Gray law In what are known as the Btwrglfl and Lawrence case?, as well as others, has. I believe, been taken again and again to the Court of Appeals, only to be affirmed. The contention that it is unconstitutional In thai It shows unjust dis crimination has again and again been denied." Mr. Taylor said he scarcely saw any motive in the reported Intention of the poolroom men to challenge the constitutionality of the Percy- Cray law. "It seems to me," he added, "that to mAke l.ookmaking at the racetrack also a felony would hardly help their own cause." It was said yesterday that in addition to Black. Oteott, Omber & Bonynge. DeLancey N'lcoll had been retained by the poolroom men who were raided OH Friday to defend them, and to test th" constitutionality of the Percy-Gray law. DEXIES HE FOUGHT FLAG.
