Show Wlio Will T.e tho Next I'opp It is stated that tbo French and Spanish Span-ish cardinals are concerting for tho nomination nom-ination of Cardinal J'igliar.t as tho successor suc-cessor to Le0 XIII. Tho general feeling is that I'.t tbe next conclave the eb'ction of u foreign popo is impracticable, tho only avaihiblo non-Italian members of tho Sacred College lieing the Swiss Cardinal Car-dinal Mormillod.and tho American Cardinal Car-dinal Gibbons. It is not likely, however, how-ever, that either of these will emergo a.3 the successor of Leo XIII, Tho nomination of Cardinal Zigliara, who is a Dominican monk, i:( not altogether alto-gether unlikely. Ho is a native of Cor- : sica, but, strange to say, ho bwik out let- i tors of naturalization as a subject of the ex-I'ontilical states, lie is a man of ; great learning au.l quite outside all no- 1 litical questions. I havo reason to be- liuve that if tbo popo died to-morrow Cardinal Zigliara would be sure of nearly near-ly forty votes. His only opponents would be tbo Jesuits, whose nominee is Cardinal Cardi-nal Monaco la Valetta. Paris Cor. Lon-I Lon-I don Chronicle. |
