Show POPE LEO'S LAST JOURNEY. A pres dispatch from Borne says the Vatican has notified the Italian government that the Pope has decided that the removal of the body of Loo XIII. from St. Peter's to the new tomb in St. John Lateran's shall take place in the daytime, provided it shall be guaranteed that the cortege through -Rome shall pass unmolested. Negotiations are now ; going 011 concerning the measures that will be finally final-ly adopted to this end. i The Vatican is indifferent whether the route of j the cortege is lined with troops or whether the hearse is merely surrounded with cavalry. When the arrangements shall have been completed the date of the removal will be definitely fixed. Probably it will be at the beginning of nexC month, as the Papal master of ceremonies, is already al-ready preparing the details of the function of inhumation in-humation in the Lateran, while the majordomo is preparing invitations to. the ceremony. . These will be limited to cardinals, diplomats and the Roman -nobility. Probably only Capuchin monks will accompany ac-company the hearse through the streets. |
