Will be permitted to pay their last fare

will end Saturday.
Until 5 o'clock this evening the remains
of the dead pope lay In the throneroom of
the "Vatican, where the leaders of the
diplomatic, clerical and civil world were
allowed to pass the bier. The ceremony
tonight, when the body was conveyed
from the throneroom to St. Peter's, was
one of the most striking of all the ob
sequies. During the day the congregation of
cardinals met and decided to hold the
conclave under the Identical regulations
which obtained at the conclave which
elected Leo.
Dr. LapponIr In the course of the day,
presented to Cardinal Oreglla a report of
the autopsy which was held yesterday,
which showed there was no sign ofcancer
in the pope's body.
Some hours before sundown SL Peter's
was cleared of idle crowds. The massive
doors were closed and the throng of sight
seers was pushed back to tbp foot of the
great flight of circular stone steps. Half
a hundred carpenters hastily constructed
a stout fence five feet high -to resist the
encroachments of the crowd, which Is ex
pected during tomorrow and the follow
ing days. The fence extends directly
across the colonnade, and In It are two
narrow entrances which will give ready
means of controlling the Ingress and
egress of the throngs.
PROCESSION' TO ST. PETER'S,
Torches Light Up nn Imposing: Cor
tege of Mourners.
ROME, July 22. At 8 o'clock this eve
ning all was In readiness to take, the
body of the pope from the Vatican to
the Basilica of SL Peter's.. The mourn
ful procession gathered around the bier,
which was gently lifted by the sediari,
who, In the life of Leo, had carried him in
the Sedla Gestatatoria. The dead pontiff
was now clad In all the pomp of his holy
office. About him had been placed 'the
sacerdotal robes, used only when be cele
brated a grand mass. The vestments
were those which he wore for the last
time In life in the Hall of the Consist
ory, when he confirmed the appointments
of Archbishops Farley, of New York,
and Qulgley, of Chicago, June 25 lasL
The golden miter, the glided steel, the
white cope, the red chasuble, the pontifi
cal pallium and the papal tunic all wero
there. Nothing that was emblematlo of
the power wielded by the dead man for
more than a quarter of a century and for
centuries by his predecessors had been
omitted.
Leading the procession as It passed out
of the throneroom came the grooms, car
rying lighted torches. Behind them walk
ing with measured tread, were the aged
mace-bearers And other domestics of the j
papal household. The picket of the noble
guard and all the clergy of the Vatican,
wearing their surplices, followed. Imme
diately In front of the bier the pontif
ical silver cross was held alofL Be
hind the bier came the three nephews of
the late pope. Counts RIcardo and Camll
lopeccl and Count Canarllu. The United
States was respresented in the procession
by Monslgnor Thomas Kennedy, rector of
the American College.
The air was heavy with lncenso from
the censors swinging constantly besjdo
the body. The Franciscan penitentiaries
still kept up the unceasing refrain of in
tercession. Cardinals in Robes of Violet.
At the Hall of Palafranlere the cortege
came to a standstill. There the car
dinals, who had been waiting In the Hall
of the Consistory, took thelr places im
mediately behind the nephews. Their
scarlet had been put aside for the violet
robes,' which are worn only when princes
of the church are in mourning.
Once more the procession with the
bier, now flanked by the Swiss guards,
moved on. After the cardinals came the
whole diplomatic body accredited to the
Vatican and the representatives of the
Knights of Malta, The latter were fol
lowed by the marshal of the conclave,
Prince Chlgl; the master of the holy hos
pice. Prince Ruspoll, and the commander
of the Noble Guards, Prince Rospigllosi,
ell la magnificent uniforms. Then came
the prelates of the chamber and .the
Knights of the Cape and Sword in their
medieval Spanish robes. The Noble and
Swiss Palatine guards brought up the
rear.
No monarch was ever followed to the
tomb by a mora imposing array, led by
the cardinals and prelates and clergy re
citing prayers and psalms for the dead,
as they slowly entered the Slstlne Chapel,
where the chapter and clergy of St. Pe
ter's awaited the procession. The latter
formally received and took possession of
the body. The torch, mace and cross
earers siartea xorwara, giving an op
portunity to the chapter to take up
position immediately preceding the bier.
The final stage of bearing "the prisoner
of the Vatican" to his resting place then
commenced. From the Slstlne Chapel
the procession wound out around the log
gia, immortalized by Raphael, encircled
the Court of San Damaso and descended
the private Btaircase, still, chanting, in
to the Basilica.
Voices of the Choir Break Silence.
The moment the flaring torches, which
still led the cortege, entered SL Peter's
the choir, which was waiting there, com
menced to sing In sorrowful cadence,
"Libera De, Domlne."
Monslgnor CarcanI, the canon of SL
Peter's, solemnly sprinkled holy water
over Leo's body and pronounced absolu
tion. As It was borne across the thresh
old th6 cathedral choir, still singing,' took
the lead of the now lengthy procession.
The Intense silence that prevailed was
broken only by the chanting that echoed
and re-echoed from the huge dome -and
deserted aisles of the chapels as the
body was borne down the nave to the
Chapel of the SacramenL There candles
burned brightly. At this chappello ar
dente the body was reverently stretched
behind the Iron gates and two members
of the Noble Guard took up positions on
either side of the bier.
The procession then reformed and, re
turned to the Vatican, leaving the body
of .Leo XIII in the greatest church In the
world, alone, except for the faithful guard
and penitentiaries, whose prayers could
be heard in the immediate vicinity of the
Chapel of the Sacrament. Throughout
the remainder of the vast Basilica silence
reigned.
The body of the dead pope tonight rests
on the high catafalque with his slippered
feet protruding through the gates to be
kissed by the faithful when they will be
admitted to the church tomorrow and
the following two days.
BODY LYIXG IX STATE.
Procession of Chmrch Xotables View
the Remains.
ROME, July 22. The first of the great
ceremonies of Pope Leo's funeral com
menced to day when the body lay in state
In the throne room of the Vatican from
9:30 A. M. until 1 P. M. All the diplomats
accredited to the Vatican, the Roman
Princes, Dukes, Barons and other repre
sentatives of ancient families remaining
faithful to the papacy, all the high dig
nitaries of the church, the archbishops,
bishops and heads of religious orders
passed In solemn procession before the
bier.
The papel throne had been removed and
In Its place, under the famous canopy, on
a small bed. lay the body of Leo. Over
the bed was thrown a red damask cover
ing, on which the body reposed, robed In
White vestments, with red rochet umd
camauro hood, and on th,e feet slippers
embroidered with gold. The thin hands,
clasped over the chesL held tightly a
small Ivory crucifix. Around this was
entwined a rosary of mother pearls, set
In gold. On the third finger of the right
hand the huge emerald pontifical ring
sparkled.
In striking contrast with the ghastly
face was the nurole hood drawn down
over the head almost to the eyebrows and j
over tne ears. Tne sunken cneeKs ana
Jaws brought the nose and chin nearly
together on the mouth, which was re
duced almost to nothing, though- no signs
of agony were visible. It was the corpse
of a man who might have been dead 50
years. On either side near the shoulders
stood a member of the Noble Guard, erect
and motionless, only a faint quJyer of the
drawn swprd giving any indication that
they were not statues. The ordeal of the
soldiers In the heated chamber Is so in
tense that they have to be constantly re
lieved. At tho four corners of the bed stood
lighted candles, ten feet high. On the
right of the body, close to the bod, was a
small table covered with a white linen
cloth, on which were two candles throw
ing a glimmer of light on tho crucifix be
tween them. At the foot of the cross
was a crystal bowl, filled with holy water,
from which each cardinal, whenever ho
passed the body, sprinkled It and uttered
a benediction. Besides this were the de
votional books used by tho pope.
The silence was unbrokon save by the
solemn chanting of six of the Frcnclscan
penitentiaries, who, kneeling or standing
at a bench at the foot of the bier, con
tinued their Incessant supplications.
To the left afid right on the walls two
great gold and marble brackets supported
many branches of candelabra, but these
were not lighted, nor were the lamps on
the marble columns at each corner of
the throne room. The only light thrown
on this solemn sceno came from the can
dles beside the body and from tho faint
rays of sunlight which filtered through
the two windows.
The red damask tapestrleB with which
the room was hung gave a touch of royal
splendor to the surroundings. Otherwise
It was an almost simple scene for the
death rites of a pope. There was no
carpet on the marble floor, and not a
flower was to' be seen, according to tho
strict ritual of- tne last honors of the
church to a pontiff. As each lay or cler
ical dignitary entered the throne room ho
'advanced slowly to the side of the bed.
took ono last look jiX the body and then
withdrew. Some knelt In momentary
prayer and crossed themselves. It was
the last tribute of devotion and affection,
rather than mero outward homage to the
i head of the great church.
Outside the throno room the long cor
ridors of the Vatican presented a brilliant
spectacle. At tho entrance of the court
of SL Damaso pontifical gendarmes wero
drawn up, and rendered military honors
as each carriage drove In. Tho diplo
mats were In full uniform and 'the Princes
and others were dressed In black. r
From the SL .Damaso court they passed
up the marble staircase Into the clermen

rangedln double columns on either side.
Next they entered the hall of Palafreml-
erl, where 25 grooms In red livery led the
way to the hall of the Swiss, where a
company of gendarmes stood on guard
at the threshold of the antechamber. Fur
ther along they passed through the hall

last watch at the door of the apartment
of their dead master.
Outside of the i atican an Interested
crowd, including a number of Italian sol
diers, watched the coming and going of
the privileged mourners.
In the meanwhile the congregation of
cardinals met In the hall of the consls
torj'f under the presidency of Cardinal
Oreglla. It was determined to, arrange
for the accommodation of the cardinals
during their enforced seclusion at the con
ciave in exactly tne same manner as
when Pope Leo was elected.
Monslgnoro Merry del Val took up the
duties of secretary of the consistorlal con
gregatlon.
At 5 o'clock this afternoon the doors of
the throne room were closed and the
Franciscan penitentiaries, assisted by the
attendants of the late pontiff-, began

At 8 o'clock a procession will be formed
and the body will be taken to SL Peter's.
RESULT OF AUTOPSY.

ROME. July 22. Dr. Lapponl this morn
ing presented to Cardinal Oreglla the of
ficial report of the autopsy performed yes
terday on the body of the pope, which
was conducted so far as permissible in
connection with the embalming. The re
port is chiefly important In disproving tho
presence of cancer or nephritis. The text
of the report follows:
"Yesterday, from 4 to S p. m.t the em'
balmlng of the body of his holiness, Leo
XIII, occurred."
After giving the names of those who as
sictcd and those who were present at tho
autopsy, the report continues:
"We began by injecting into the thigh
over five litres of special preserving
liquid.. Having opened the abdomen, the
lower viscera were extracted and found
to be perfectly healthy. The spleen and
kidneys were also absolutely normal. In
the latter the cortical substance was well
preserved and of a pale pink color. After
opening the thorax It was found that the

were healthy except that In the arch
aorta was found an atheromateus excres

was quite normal, but on the right side
the pleura was full of liquid of an orange
yellow color above, and bloody at the
bottom, with a large clot of flhrine float

face of the pleura toward the ribs, with a
slight scraping of fibrlne easily detached.

Inferior lobe had partly adhered to the
walls of the thorax, and when this was
cut a dirty white, abundant liquid oozed

sentiment and contained a reference of
"pushing the English off the American

only be to the mutual interests of France
and England, but to the whole world. King
Edward had given the signal for Inter
national peace by his trip to Paris, and
President Loubet had sealed the friendly
overture by his sojourn in England. Tho
fact that France and England were now
friends, he sold, afforded tho greatest
relief to the champions of peace through

the extension of the principle of arbitra

that France and Great Britain utilize the

Premier Balfour moved a vote of thanka

With Senator Piatt and Representative
Cannon, the President discussed the work
of the approaching extraordinary session
of Congress, particularly with reference
to tho necessity for soma remedial finan
cial legislation. The discussion, it Is said,
did not assume the dignity of tho formal
conference, but the President made it
known to hl3 callers that he most earnest
ly desired Congress, at the earliest tlmo,
to prepare and pass a measure Intended
to provide for a more elastic currency and
for tho general relief of, tho country In a
financial way. Governor Yates partici
pated In the discussion. Ho also talked
on the political situation In Illinois.
While admitting before he left for New
York that proposed financial legislation
was under consideration today, Mr. Can
non Insisted that his call upon the Presi
dent was principally social. Matters of
legislation, both financial and general.
were discussed briefly arfd Informally, but
no aennlte conclusions were reached.
Mr. Cannon said It was ngt certain
whether or not the House would take
up for consideration financial legislation
at the extraordinary session In Novem
ber. That could be determined finally
only by the House Itself.
It has been stated that Mr. Cannon Is
opposed to any agitation of the financial
question and that he would exercise his
power as Speaker of the House after
election to prevent any legislation look
ing, to changes in the present currency
system. These statement it Is said, do
not reflect his views. He does not ap
prove ot some of the financial measures,
but he indicates that If there be a sub
stantial sentiment next Fall In favor of
currency legislation he will not be found
standing In the way of It.
Senator Piatt said, after his call on the
President, that later he would come to
Oyster Bay to conclude a conference be
gun with the President in Washington,
concerning some political matters in New
York state. These matters, he. added,
were not In shape at present for public
discussion. In part, they related to ap
pointments to be made by tho President.
Mr. Piatt declared that every Repub
lican In New York was supporting the
President freely and enthusiastically, and
he had no more doubt of his election than
he had of his nomination. As to the or
ganization of tho Republican National
committee, the Senator said that Senator
Hanna, In his Judgment, would be re
elected chairman, and he had no doubt
Mr. Hanna would consent to serve again.
