P. C, ipatvin, sailed fo: Kome tu-day via Havre on La Touraine. | “Do you think that an American Cardinal will be a prominent candl- Wlete for the I’apacy?” he was asked. |. Cardinal Gibbons made no reply, but his gray yes snapped and | rkled and his kindly, humorous mouth expanded in a smile, The names pt sevcral Cardinals were suggested by the reporter In connection with the | succession. < “Ti is a sacred subject, the subject of an election by the Sacred College oo" Cardinal Gibbons said. “It cannot be discussed at a time like | 4} * "The tradition that a foreigner shall not rise to the Papacy no longer | (éarties any force.” he said in response to a question. “The vitality of the Pope is remarkable, and I consider the un!mpair- nt of his imental faculties amazing in view of his extreme illness,” ho ma*inucd.

My last visit to the (oly Father two years ago is 6till freah in my mind, é “I pray that the message of Cardinal Rampolla's cablegram that there Ge a ray of hope may be fulfilled.” * Cardinal Gibbons is sixty-eight years old. He was created Cardinal- Archbishop by the Pope cn Juno 7, 1886. Tt is known he believes there is little Hkelihood of an Americau being selected to the Papacy. In discus- sions of Leo XIII.'s succersor. the name of Cardinal Gibbons has been men- fhoned. It has been stated that the United States is the only country in which conflicting interests have no part, and in which a man of impartial attitude might be found. A high prelate at the Vatican said recenly that ‘ap. American Popc may be regarded no longer as a dream.” * . Pacing the ceck of La Touraine to-day with a group of newspaner- mien, the Cardina! spoke feellugly of the dying Pontiff. His first question when approacted by the press representatives was for the latest news trom the Vatican. t “It is good that there has been no change,” he sald when told of the morning bulletin. “I cannot talk calmly of the Holy Father,” he replied in his singularly gentle and courteous manner when asked for some per- “1i‘s mind is apparently as clear and as active as ever. “ ponal anecdote or experience with the head of his church. \ « “The most appealing of his traits to ine,” he added, “bas been his human- mess. Despite his ascetic rule of life and his absorption jn things spiritual ‘he has always been in touch with the great heart of humanity. No phase ‘of human development escaped his keen intellect. He was ever alert to further any plan that would tend toward the amelioration of the race. ‘He was not only the spiritud] nead of the church, but to the wide world dhe was a leader of economic thought, a sulde to whom princes and peoples ‘dooked for guidance in thgir plans for social betterment. “To know him intimately was to know that he was a big, kind-hearted human being, bereft of the many littlenesses of ordinary men, His nature “was on the grand plan, \POPL’S REMARKABLE MEMORY. ) “Of his intellectul capacity, It is useless to speak. With one phase ‘ot ali the worle is tumiliay, That 1s his prodigious memory. In the {wast storehouse of his mind every incident of his life seemed to have its dered place. Men whom he had met twenty years ago he recognized as hough they had secn him but yesterday. Then he would recount the in- eens of thelr Jas nicet.ng. If they were European, he would ask for heir families, their neighbors, showing familiarity that one would expect fonly from au intimate. It they wero clerics, he would ask for the dioceses » fwmd iustitutions in wiich they were interested.” t Asked of his movements afier reaching Havre, the Cardinal said: 3 4 shall go directly to Paris. After that It depends on circumstances bwhethor I shall g» to Ronis. I may not reach Rome.” (‘To a question whether his journey was in response to an official sum- from Cardinal Rampolla, he answered: “IN cannot reply to that. 1 Mhave been in correspondence with the Papal Secretary and my journey is ‘ fesult of that correspondence.

Dr. Lapponi and Pope Leo's valet, Pio Centra, did their best to nourish the patient at brief intervals. The Pontiff spoke little and seeméd much depressed. Chloral and caffeine were administered with good effect. After midnight the derangement of the kidneys, which had given rise to an apprehension of blood poisoning, was somewhat alleviated and the Pontiff rested more easily. ‘I expec: to die to-morrow,” he sald to Dr, Lapponi, WASHINGTON, July 9.—The following cablegram from the Vatl-| sii! {chad Oa “News of to-day is more consoling.
