CARDINAL GOTTL
Bom at Genoa, March 29. 1634. En
tered Carmelite college 'when quite
young- Made professor of navigation In
preparatory naval college at Rome.
1SC2. Nominated as theologian at the
ecumenical council, 1S6S. Elected prosecutor-general
of the Carmelites, 1S71.
and general in 16S1. Appointed arch
bishop of Petra, 1602. Bent to Brazil
as Internuncio and envoy extraordi
nary, 1692. Became cardinal In 1895
and a few years later the "Red Pope."
HOME, July 3L No one can tell -who
will be Leo XIII's successor, but, consid
ering all things. Cardinal Gottl Is believed
to bo the man for the situation. It is
eald he has the cordial support of Ger
many and Austria; that Italy Is favorable
to him, and Francev would not oppose
him. His good qualities are recognized
by all the European powers, who do not
forget his work In Brazil. Gottl's strong
est opponents are Rampolla, Oreglia and
Vannuteili, with the first named the most
formidable.
It is not generally known that when
Gotti was In Brazil he was officially ap
pointed by many European governments
to do his utmost to check the civil war
when It broke out at St. Paola against
Pelmoto. Both Austria and Germany
regard Gottl with favor. He is believed
to be a great financier, principally be
causo Leo XIII intrusted to him the ad
ministration of Peter's pence, after the
well-known disasters due to mismanage
ment of that fund. In this affair Gottl
rendered true service to the Holy See.
Little Electioneering Done.
Again it would appear that prognostica
tions as to who will wear the tiara as
Leo's successor have little value, as
whenever the names of the leading candi
dates are mentioned a hundred reasons
are supplied to show that he could not
possibly be elected. So seldom have the
majority of the cardinals now here mot
each other, and so widely do they differ
In nationality and personality, that no
organized movement in support of any
one cardinal has thus far been practic
able, nor. In fact, seriously attempted.
This does not apply to the Italian car
dinals, who nearly all are well acquaint
ed with each other. With their numeral
strength, the Italian cardinals, if united,
practically insure the electing of a pontiff
of their own choosing. It Is the disunion
and rivalry among them, the Italians car
dinals, which. In fact, leaves the question
of Leo's successor so open as to make
one guess almost as good as another.
JtnlliuiK Moat Become Reconciled.
The rival claims of the leading Italian
cardinals, so freely ventilated In the local
press, are matters which are all import
ant in connection with the decision of
the conclave, because It is assumed, as a
foregone conclusion, that the next occu
pant of the Holy See will be an Italian.
The foreign cardinals have shown no In
dication of opposition to this assumption,
but however willing they are to honor" an
Italian, It is believed that serious differ
ences among the Italians themselves upon
matters of political and religious opinion
must be reconciled before one of them
suitable to all sections can be elected.
The apparent difficulty of accomplishing
this has rendered Interest In the conclave
doubly acute, and Is largely responsible
for the frequently expressed opinion that
some cardinal little talked of may emerge
from the conclave as the next pope.
Great Changes Impending.
More Interesting, perhaps, In a certain
way, is the Impression which prevails in
certain sections that, no matter what the
verdict of the conclave may be, great
changes arc Impending in tho policy of
the Vatican, and within n TMr nr
tho new pope will no longer consider hlm-
seu a prisoner in ine vaucan, out will,
unlike Leo, leave its precincts when
necessarv.
It is rumored in Vatican circles that
some of the cardinals, especially the for
eigners, havlnir nnnnunrM thi! Intonilnn
of voting for Cardinal Farratl. The latter
has been Induced to withdraw his candi
dacy after having been promised by Car
dinals Rampolla. Gottl and Serafino an
nutelli that. If one of them Is elected
pope, he will appoint Forrati secretary
of state
ATTACKS MADE TO AID RAMPOLLA.
Itnlr Conme Believed to Be With
Idea of Working Vp Sympathy.
ROME. July 3L Just before going Into
his cell today a prominent Cardinal threw
an interesting sidelight upon the chances
of Rampolla. Leo's secretary of state has
been persistently abused recently by the
government papers for his temporal power
policy.
"I am not so sure," said the cardinal
to the representative of the Associated
Press, "that the public attacks upon Car
dinal Rampolla by the government are not
inspired with a view to working up among
Catholics and cardinals a spirit of enthu
siasm for him which might greatly in
crease his chances of election. Indeed, It
is perfectly certain that the Italian gov
ernment would not be at all sorry to see
Cardinal Rampolla wear the tiara, as at
heart 1 do not believe the government
has any serious disposition to alter the
existing relations between the Vatican
and the Qulrinal."
There Is no doubt that Cardinal Ram
poha, who Is so well known to all the
cardinals because of the position he hold
under the late pope has a strong follow
ing, but whether it la even approximately
strong enough to bring him within meas
urable distance of the papal throne will
only be revealed when the first ballot
is taken tomorrow. One of the Interesting
features of today's preparations was the
comparative Ignorance displayed by some
of the cardinals concerning the conclave's
method of procedure. One of them who
looks old enough to have participated In
any number of conclaves although Cardi
nal Oreglia. of course. Is the only mem-J
ber of the Sacred College with previous
experience Ingenuously admitted that he
had not read the rules governing the tech
nicalities of voting since he was a hoy
at a seminary-
GIDBOXS CRITICISES ROMPOL.LA.
To Retain Good Will of Nation, lie
Deserts Friend of Religion.
ROME, July 31. The Italia this morning
says that Cardinal Gibbons, at the Vatl- ;
can yesterday, criticised the poMcy of
Cardinal Rampolla. saying that, for the J
purpose of retaining the friendship of gov- :
ernmonts, no matter how formed, he had
thrown into the sea the best and most
trusted friends of religion. He Is said to
have cited France as an example, and
as having said that the same thing would
happen to Spain, in which sentiments Car
dinal Sancha y Hervas. Archbishop of
Toledo, is said to have agreed. Other
Spanish cardinals present, the Italia said,
were attracted by the discussion.
The Trlbuna says the congregation of
cardinals has approved the protest to be
made against the occupation of the pon
tifical states, and the law of the Italian
Parliament enacted contrary to apos
tolic sovereignty.
Gibbon Denies It.
ROME, July 31. Before entering the
conclave Cardinal Gibbons requested the
Associated Press to deny all Interviews
alleged to have been given out by him
while in Rome and also all published accounts-
of conversation he Is alleged to
have had with private individuals, refer
ring especially to the statements of the
Italia to the effect that be had criticised
the policy of Rampolla.
CAREER OF CARDINAL GOTTI.
The Son of Poor Parenti, He Made
Hla Own "Way Up to "Red Pope."
ROME, July ZL The four cardinals
whose names have been most frequently
before the public recently in connection
with the discussion of the successor of
the papal throne are Gottl, Oreglia, Van
nuteili and Rampolla.
Glrondamo Gottl was born at Genoa.
March 29, 1S31. He is a son of a poor man
who went to Genoa In search of work,
and was employed there as a quarry por
ter, a humble, but sometimes sufflcisntly
lucrative, occupation. Gotti studied in the
Jesuit College. Ho entered, while still
young, the Carmelite College, and after
ward assumed the habit of the bare
footed Carmelites.
After having entered the Carmelite or
fcr, Gotti won the affection and admira
tion of about him. At the age of 25,
he was reader of philosophy in the Car
melite convent of Loano. In 1S62, he was
appointed professor of navigation in the
preparatory naval college, where among
his pupils were the future Admirals,
Acton, Saint Bon and Dealbertis, and two
future ministers of tho marine.
In 1S6S. Pius IX nominated him theo
logian at the Ecumenical Council. In
:F71, he was elected Prosecutor-General
of the Carmelites, and ten years later he
became General of the same order. Later,
he became a member of the. Congregation
of the Regular Bishops, Doctor of the
College of St, Thomas Aquinas and Con
rultor of tho Propaganda Fide. On the
2&th of Marchj 1892, Leo XIII nominated
Gotti Titular Archbishop of Petra, and
on the 18th of May of the same year sent
him to Brazil on a special mission, with
the title of Internuncio and Envoy-Extraordinary.
It is known that the Holy See liad. at
that time, serious differences with Bra
zil, and Monslgnor Spolverlno had been
recalled to Rome and was substituted by
MacchI, who did not succeed in settling
the points at Issue, while Gotti was more
successful. Some declare that Gottl did
not distinguish himself In this mission.
Ke became Cardinal in October, 1S95,
with title of Sta. Maria Bella Schola,
shortly after his return from Brazil, and
finally attained the office of Prefect of
the Propaganda Fide, which Is of such
Importance that tho Cardinal holding it is
called the "Red Pope."
RAMPOLLA CLOSE TO LEO.
HI Career Mnnt Ever Be Connected
With That of the Late rope.
ROME, July 31. Mariano Rampolla del
Tlndaro belongs to a noble Sicilian fam
ily. He was born August 17, 1813, and was
made Cardinal by Leo XIII in 1SS7, with
tho title of Santa Cecilia. He was also
Secretary of State of his holiness. Pre
fect of the Sacred Congregation of Los
eta, President of the Commission of Car
dinals for the administration of the prop
erty of the Holy See and the Commission
of Biblical Study. He Is a protector of
numerous monastic orders, both foreign
and Italian.
Rampolla. having completed his studies
in Rome, entered the Academy of Eccle
siastics of rank. In 1875, he was sent to
Spain as Auditor of the Nuncls. In 1SS7,
Rampolla was nominated Secretary of the
Propaganda for matters connected with
the Oriental rite. In 1822. he was made
Archbishop of Heracles and sent as Nun
cio to Spain, where he won general esteem
and veneration. He was promoted to the
rank of Cardinal in 1SS7, and soon left
Spain. Soon after, he was appointed Sec
retary of State. In which capacity he won
the esteem of the diplomatists with whom
he corresponded.
Though he has won high esteem, he also
has made enemies. The turning point of
Rampolla's career was in 1SS5, when the
question of the Caroline Islands arose be
tween Spain and Germany, upon which
he suggested the Idea of referring it to the
Pope as arbitrator. This was a great
diplomatic success for tho Vatican, be
cause it seemed like a return of the
papacy to Its former position In Europe,
from which it had been excluded since
1S70. The diplomatic career of Rampolla
Is too closely Intertwined with the politi
cal part of the glorious pontificate of Leo
XIII to be Judged separately from it.
The verdict of history on the late Pope
will derend mainly on the actions of Car
dinal Rampolla In success or failure, in
good and evil, because he. mora than any
other, has been a hers of tho situation.
the directing mind, the guiding hand. It
is declared that Rampolla will enter the
conclave sure of 28 votes.
VAXXCTELLI LONG PROMINENT.

matic Prudence.
ROME. July 31. Serafino Vannuteili was
born in Gennazzano. near Tlvoll. Novcm
ber 5. 1KM. After having successfully
passed through his study 1n the Gapanic
College in Rome, he was appointed audi
tor in Mexico, and afterward at Munich
and later held the office of apostolic dele
gate In Peru and that of nuncio In Brus
sels. Unfortunately, this position became
almost unbearable through the hostilities
of the Liberal party, and Vannuteili was
compelled to resign his office in 1879.
In the following year. Leo sent him as
nuncio to Vienna. He attained the rank
of cardinal on March It, 1SS7. He Is at
present grand penitentiary and bishop of
Suburban Diocese of Frazeti. He is also
a member of the most Important ecclesias
tical congregations, and of the commission
of cardinals for appointing bishops in
Italy.
He comes of a humble family of agri
culturists. He at one time was consid
ered worldly, but now devotes himself en
tirely to religion. He is especially noted
for his diplomatic prudence. He Is liberal,
enlightened and modern, in his ideas.

OLDEST OF RAILROADS.
Plymouth nnd Dartmoor, England,
Incorporated in 1310.
Railroad Gazette.
The traveler who leaves Plymouth for
London by the Great Western Railway
will notice when he has proceeded two and
three-quarter miles and Is passing the
241th mile post from Paddlngton. that
the train crosses a single line of railroad
almost at a right angle on the level. To
It immediately succeeds an overbrldge, and
then, on the left hand or "off" side may
be seen the single line In question, laid
upon rough stone blocks, but presenting &
decidedly out-of-date appearance. Per
chance a train of four or five little trucks,
loaded with square lumps of china clay
and drawn by a couple of horses, may be
seen, but In half a mile the old line trends
away northward and is lost sight of. It
belongs to the oldest railway company
In the world.
The Plymouth & Dartmoor Railway was
Incorporated on July 2, 1819. for "mak
ing and maintaining a tramrond or Iron
Tallway for the passage of wagons and
other carriages" from Crabtree to near
the prisons of war on Dartmoor. These
prisons had been erected about ten years
before, on the loneliest and wildest tract
of land that could be found, to accommo
date the French prisoners of war who in
conveniently crowded Plymouth Sound in
hulks. The projector of the line, how
ever. Sir Thomas Tyrwhltt, had a great
Idea that Dartmoor was capable of cul
tivation. The Plymouth & Dartmoor Railway
Company was dissolved, and reincorpo
rated by an act of 1SG5. for the purpose of
bringing It under the provisions of modern
acts as to using steam power, etc The
old rates were revised, and power was
taken to carry passengers. It then owed
nS.COO to the mortgagees, who released It
on being paid in shares. The company
has since constructed some local lines
near Plymouth, which are worked by the
Great Western and the London & South
western; in fact, it ia virtually a Joint
line now. Still, though It owns no roll
ing stock, it has nominally an indepen
dent existence, receives its rents, main
tains a London office, and may undoubt
edly be considered the oldest railway
company in the world.

Ex-Philippine Chief in 'Constant
Dread of Assassination.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 3L Dean C.
Worcester, who has been one of the Phil
ippine Commissioners ever since the first
Commission was sent to the islands, has
arriveii In San Franr-Jsco on his
way to Washington and his old home in
Thetford, Vt, The necessity for a surgi
cal operation forced him to leave his post
of duty. At the Palace Hotel, he
talked freely of conditions In the Isl
ands, and takes an optimistic view of the
American efforts to put down the ladrones
and establish order.
He says the islands are quieter than
they ever were during the Spanish occu
pation, and that such disorders as exist
are nothing more than Is to be expected
In almost any land after a long war.
The Spaniards were content to let la
dronlsm and the blackmailing tactics of
the outlaws continue, but the Americans
are determined to stamp them out, and
this determination Is responsible for the
occasional skirmishes. The disturbances
are confined In large part to Rlzal, Cavlte
and Bulucan provinces, while recently he
traveled 250 miles with his wife in North
ern Luzon, practically unarmed without
receiving so much as discourteous treat
ment anywhere, Agulnaldo lives at Rlzal
across the street from Commissioner
Wright, and is free to come and go at
will. He seems well dressed, but has a
haunting fear of assassination at the
hands of the partisans of General Luna,
In whose death he was suspected of hav
ing a hand. He receives no money from
this Government, and busies himself
with generally chimerical projects for
bettering island conditions.
Mr. Worcester had not heard that Gov
ernor Taft had been favorably considered
as a Vice-Presidential candidate, and
said the Filipinos would deplore the Gov
ernor's removal to any other sphere of
action, as they hold him In the highest
regard.
