Redmond invited a statement on the
subject from Premier Balfour, who said
it was a Question of respect to the dead
Pope, but universal precedent must be re
garded and general rules laid down must
be observed Irrespective of '.sentiment,
otherwise they would be in a difficult
position. Precedent did not turn on re
spect for the personal character of the
Individual, but on his position.
Redmond then called the attention of
the Government to the fact that the flags
were "lowered all over tne United States
by the Order J of President Roosevelt,"
which would, -perhaps, -influence . ±»ritish
action. At any rate, he added, the flags
might be lowered on the day of the fun

;The majority of the congregation de
cjded to pursue a middle course and In
truated Cardinal Merry del Val with the
duty of drawing up the document for sub
mission to. another -meeting .of the con
gregation. The note, when approved, will
be presented to the diplomatic body,
signed by Cardinals Oreglia, Mactfhi and
Netto, deans of the three orders into
which the Sacred College is divided.
After the will of Leo XIII had been
opened it was the. Intention of the Car
dinals to maintain the strictest secrecy
concerning its contents, but it is learned
that it , comprises thirty-six sheets in the
handwriting of the late Pope, except ad
ditions evidently made In his later years,
when the Pope found considerable difficul
ty in writing, owing to the trembling of
his hand, which was so pronounced be
fore his death that he Was obliged to hold
his right hand with his left when he made
his signature. The earlier portions of the
testament Include the recommendation
which the testator addressed to his ex-
ed other officials, such as the physicians,
who will stttend them during their seclu
sion.
PROPOSED NOTE TO POWERS.
The most important question" before the
meeting, however, was a proposition pre
sented by Cardinal Oreglia to send a note
to the diplomatic audience accredited to
the Holy See for the purpose of repre
senting to the powers the condition of the
papacy since the loss of Its temporal pow
er and the transfer of the capital of the
Italian Government to Rome. From what
leaks out, it appears that the proposition
provoked considerable discussion and
Cardinals Steinhuber, Mathieu and Vivea
y Tuto favored the dispatch of a most
energetic note concerning the question of
reclaiming" the papal rights. Cardinals
Agllardi and Seratino Vannutelli, on the
Contrary, advocated a milder wording of
this document, which, they considered,
should maintain the historical pretensions
of the Holy See. but In temperate lan
guage. •*
WASHINGTON, July 23.— The State De
partment has received the following re
sponse to Secretary Hays message of
condolence on the occasion of the Pope's
death:
ROME. July 23. — I have not failed to con
vey to the 8acred College the heartfelt sym
pathy expressed by you In the President's name
on the ead occasion of his Holiness' death.
The Sacred College desires me to express to
the President its deep and sincere gratitude
for such a noble manifestation.
CARDINAL RAMPOLLA.
REPLIES TO HAY'S- MESSAGE.
Sacred College Appreciates American
Sympathy.
The document then enumerates all the
property which Leo possessed and pro
vides that It shall go to hla successor for
the -benefit of the church, including even
the. presents, which might perhaps be
considered personal rather than gifts to
the Pontiff as such. The money which
the Pope left Is in a closed safe in his
bedroom, .the keys having been given to
different persons mentioned ln\ the will.
To the members of his family the Pope
left a present for each, to be chosen from
the valuable objects in his apartments,
and similar gifts were bequeathed to his
doctor?. AH of the land purchased and
buildings erected for Institutions person
ally founded by Leo are put in the name
of the Holy See, to avoid possible claims
from relatives, as the Pope probably re
membered that some time after the death
of Plus IX, the latter's nephews instituted
a suit against the church, claiming 15.000
francs as their proportion of his estate.

PONTIFICAL REQUIEM MASS.
At 9:30 o'clock the solemn pontifical re
quiem mass was celebrated In St. Peter's
for the repose of the soul of Leo XIII.
The crowd was kept constantly moving
within the wooden barriers, but other en
trances wer.e provided for those desiring
to assist at the mass on the other side
of the church. Several thousand persons
were present, although, in eo vast a
church, they appeared to be a mere hand
ful, especially as all were standing.
During the hot hours of the day the
Within the church temporary railings
had been erected to keep the people in a
straight line leading to the bier. This
was the center toward which all eyes
were turned. The body lay in a catafalque
ten feet high, so that all could see it.
The body was slightly inclined, with the
head raised and facing the passing
tlirong. The visage had a chalky white
ness and appeared to be unnaturally
shriveled. It was robed in the full vest
ments as the Roman public knew- the
Pontiff in life. Around the bier-burned
thirteen high candles, while on each side
stood the Noble Guard, motionless. Far
ther back were kneeling priests and aco
lytes, softly Intoning invocations.
The crowd pushed against the iron trel
lis which separates the chapel from the
main portion of the church, but those
who expected to kiss the slippered feet
were disappointed, as__the officials had
adopted precautionary measures, so that
the lower extremities of the body were
half a yard back of the iron grating.
All ranks and stations of life were rep
resented in the throng. Many were work
ing people; there were also groups of
convent girls," under the care of nuns, and
of schoolboys, headed, by priests. Crowds
continued to pass ucfore the bier through
out the morning.
THRONG PAST THE DEAD.
At the sound of the first bell two regi
ments of Italian grenadiers marched
smartly across the piazza to the stone
steps and soon the east t portico swarmed
for the first time in years with Italian
troops— 300 on the portico and 1200 sur
rounding the colonnades. The grenadiers
wore long blue service coats and peaked
caps. They stood In double column at
parade rest, the lines extending from the
threshold of the church through a nar
row gateway of a temporary wooden
structure, which was holding back the
crowds.
At five minutes after 6 o'clock the gate
was opened and the human tide began to
flow in. The. jam at the narrow entrance
soon became terrific, threatening serious
results to the struggling mass of half
fainting women and children. Although
the crowd was not extraordinarily large,
the steady movement into the funnel-like
lnclosure made the pressure terrific. Many
women had their dresses or veils torn off
and some were lined, exhausted, over
the wooden indoeure and out of the
crush. Fortunately there were no serious
accidents and the ambulances were not
summoned. ;V ';'-." '

a crowd of several hundred, which had

Elaborate preparations had been made

reiterated and emphasised the desire for

conclusion of a treaty of arbitration. Th«
Frenchmen afterward visited ihe Ftock

Special Dispatch to Tbe Call.
ROME. July 23.— To-day's meeting
of the College of Cardinals again
contained some obvious signifi
cance, bearing upon the probable
action of the conclave.
It is estimated that Cardinal Rampolla's
total strength dors not exceed twenty
two votes. Cardinal Rampolla will re-
reive several votes on the first ballot
which probably will not be cast for him
subsequently. These votes will be by
Cardinals who are largely Indebted to
him for their red hats.
Cardinal Vannutelli. who for the past
two years has opposed Cardinal Rampol
la's French policy, is training some Ital
ian support on th1(« account. Cardinal
Vannutelli's candidacy I is certainly the
mo« active at the present moment. -
It seems probable that when the con
clave meets the situation will be reduced
to three prominent candidates— Cardinals
Vannutelii, Oreglia and Rantpolla. It
would not be difficult as a compromise to
consolidate the Vannutelli and Oreglia
forces, perhaps upon Cardinal Oreglia and
possibly upon pome one not yet named,
but even then It would be necessary to
weaken Cardinal Ramnolla's present
solid support in order* to eecure the neces
sary two-thirds. The indications are that
it would be hardly reasonable to expect
fein election in such a sMort thne as at
the conclave of 1S78.
Cardinals Oreglia and Rampolla ore In
disposed, but the Illness of neither is
serious.
The commission of Cardinals intrusted
with the arrangements for the conclave
iias presented a plan which involves an
expenditure of $1400 and assures that
everything will be in readiness for the
opening of the conclave on July 31. The
apartment etlll occupied by Cardinal
Rampolla will be divided into four rooms
in order to accommodate four of the Car
dinals during the conclave.
Now that the Pope's will has been
opened the work of removing the things
in his apartment which he bequeathed by
the terms of the Instrument has. been be
gun. If the new. Pontiff desires to occupy
the Fame apartment only the bedroom
furniture will be changed. Following an
ancient cuptom, however, the new Pope
will not take possession of the old apart
ment until several months after his elec
tion.

reviewed 15,000 troops and 5000 men of the
Naval Brigade in Phoenix Park. T>e
weather was most favorable, bright sun
shine permitting the wearing of summer
costumes and the consequent color effect-
When the ground was packed by the
tens of thousands of spectators it made
by far the most brilliant scene of the
many witnessed since their Majesties
arrival in Dublin. It was the largest
muster of trooDs ever seen at a review
In Ireland. The Duke of Connaught was
in command. The King, who wore the
uniform of a field marshal, was attended
by the Lord Lieutenant, the Earl of Dud
ley and a numerous suite/ "^ '. -^ ••>"
Prior to leaving the Vice Regal lodgs
his Majesty presented colors to the Royal
Hibernian militia school.
The King and Queen held special court
at the castle last night in the famous
St. Patrick Hall, which was gorgeously
decorated and illuminated for the occa
sion. Their Majesties entered the hall
at 7:03 p. m., with all the accompaniments
of state and took their places near tbft
throne, which was the center of a bril
liant group. Including the Duke and
Duchess of Connaugh and Earl Dudley
and other high state officers in full uni
form. There they received the most rep
resentative body of the Irish nobility and
the Irish people which had been seen at
the castle in many years. Queen Alex
andra wore a cream-colored gown, em
broidered with gold. She wore vari-col
ored jewels In the form of shamrocks and
her diamond ornaments were set in de
signs of rose, thistle and shamrock.
The influence of the sovereigns secured
a social union which English statesmen
had vainly sought to attain. The Irish
Guards acted as a guard of hpnor and
the grand staircase was lined with lan
cers. It was a function of regal magnifi
cence *and it was not until the last name
on the list had been read out and the.
last debutante had made her curtsey that
their Majesties auitted the scene.
