He returned to St. James’ Palace at about 10 o’clock and was greeted with great cordiality and cries of “Vive Loubet!” *“Vive Loubet!" in re- sponse to which he continually raised his hat. A reception of a deputation from the diplomatic corps filled up the rest of his time until noon, shortly after which, ac- companied by Embassador Cambon and Foreign Minister Delcasse, he started in semi-state to visit the city. Long before the time fixed for M. Lou- bet, the gayly decorated route was crowded with people and lined with troops E2 and, in spite of the cloudy day, the uni- forms, flowers flags and bunting com- bined to form as bright a scene as Lon- don had produced in many years.

Shortly before 1 o'clock carriages con- taining tha Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, preceded by Life Guards, drove up to the Guildhall, where the roval party joined the Lord Mayor, Sir Marcus Samuel; Premier Bal- four, the Judges, Aldermen and others, in awaiting the President. Another detachment of Life Guards and outriders then rode up and amidst a vol- ley of cheers President Loubet drove in. He sat in an open carriage beside Embas- sador Cambon and wore a high hat, which he constantly removed, bowing right and left. The President jumped from the carriage, shook hands all around, end, | after an address from the corporation had been presented to him, M. ceeded to luncheon. After luncheon the Lord Mayor toasted the President of the French Republic. In reply M.

King Edward drove to the French em- bassy at 7:30 p. m. to dine with President Loubet. A great crowd of people outside gave him an ovation. The King was met at the door of the embassy by M. Loubet, Embassador Cambon and the staff of the French embassy. The guests included Premier Balfour, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain = Foreign Minister Lans- downe, the United States Embassador, Mr. Choate; Lord Rosebery and the Duke of Devonshire. President Loubet has bestowed the dec- oration of grand officer of the Legion of Honor upon the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Marcus Samuel; Admiral Sir Lewis Beaumont, known in America as the for- mer commander of the British Pacifie squadron, and Lord Avebury (formerly Sir John Lubbock). The gala operatic performance given in Covent Garden to-night in honor of Presi- dent Loubet was a scene of marvelous brilliancy. There was an unsurpassed display of jewels and costumes, while the floral decorations were more magnificent than has ever been seen at a similar per- formance in Y.ondon. The whole house, floor and boxes, was a mass of color Roses, orchids, electric lights and flags covered every available point.

I merely venture the impression that there isa probability that the Pope will die, but I do not believe death will occur yet.” Cardinal Gotti Confers With Leo. Much significance is attached to afi extended visit made by Cardinal Gotti, Prefect of the Propaganda, to the Pope’s * cham- ber, from which other conspicuous members of the Sacred Col- lege are excluded by the doctor’s orders. Cardinal Gotti’s inter- view lasted twenty minutes, even the doctors and attendants with- drawing and leaving him alone with the Pope. This has natur- ally opened a wide field of speculation. It is even asserted-on the authority of one Cardinal that Pope Leo expressed the hope that in the event of succession falling on Cardinal Gotti he might have the strength to take up and carry forward the great work just con- fided to him. Just what passed between the Pontiff and Cardinal Gotti, only they know, but certainly the - circumstances and the length of the visit strongly support the view that the Pope was It is very easy to be PLE giving his attention to the administration of the affairs of the church after his death. Throughout yesterday a constant stream of visitors besieged the entrance to the Vatican. The guards at the portals kept back the merely curious, admitting only diplomats accredited to the Vat- ican and high dignitaries. Among the diplomatists were the Min- isters of Russia and Prussia, the Embassadors of Spain, Austria and Portugal, and the Charge d’ Affaires for Brazil. The French Embassador, M. Nisard, has shown deep interest in the reports from the sick room. He remained after midnight yesterday, and was again at the Vatican this morning. Among the Cardinals hrriving were Gennaro, Nocella, Ma- thieu, Respigi, Casetta, Oretoni and Gotti. It was remarked that Cardinal Oreglia, the dean of the Sacred College, was not among the callers, although it is expected that he soon will be called upon to perform the most important services of the interregnum. Though not calling personally, Cardinal Oreglia thrice dispatch- ed his secretary, Father Santo, to learn the exact condition of the Pontiff.
