Most' Important. ROME. July 21. That political strife i among the cardinals of the Sacred Col lege no longer exists seems a well-es-tabllshed fact This evening the Dally Tribune published an authentic Inter view with Cardinal Svampa in which ihe latter says: "Previous political en mities among the cardinals no longer exists, and they are, therefore, in per f eot accord... The selection of the Pope will be easily obtained." .Following this expression Cardinal ' Svampa made, the statement, 'which Is startling In Its purport. He said: "Tha sew Pope will ; lntroduae his . original policy on the question of temporal power WORLD MAY KNOW TRUE CHARACTER Dead Pope Best .

The Pope wrote Latin verse since he was 12 years old. No biographies, how ever exhaustive, give, or could give, so clear an insight into the inner heart of the great Pontiff as these fine outpour ings of bis spirit His poems take many forms. There are among them stately odes, religious outpourings, charades, Inscriptions, sparkling Jeux d'esprit, heroic hymns, familiar epigrams about prominent ac quaintances, and verses to his mother, his brother and the friends of his boy hood and later life. The first literary production of the schoolboy Vlterbo, In later years to be come Pope, was d brief eulogy of Father , Vlncenzo Pavanl, provincial of the Jesu its who was visiting the village. The au thor, who was then Just 12 years old, was baptised Joachim Vincent Raphael Aloyslus. The poem reads: Thy very name, Pavanl, Venvent styled. Was mine a little child. 'What mighty virtues thou didst well pursue. Would I might follow, too!" The next poem was written about eight years 'later in 1830. It Is en titled' "On Hie Sickness," and is a re markable commentary on the will power of the man who lived more than the al lotted three score years and ten after the gloomy lines were penned: A Youth of Twenty. "X youth of twenty years how sickly and bow spare! Ah, to what natural shock my flesh Is heir! May bring, lief.

He remained at home in Car plneta until his eighth year, and was then Sent to school at Viterbo with bis brother. Later he lived in Rome with his uncle in the palace of the Marquesses Muti. , ; In 1883 the Pope wrote the following lines, under his own portrait, evidently recalling the saying of St Gregory VII., "I have loved Justice and hated Iniquity; Severe Shower of Icy Stones Fell at Noon Today and Great Damage Was Done Throughout City, Stories of Sons of the Murdered Man and Others Tends to Fasten the Crime Upon Two Missing Fruit Venders. .

A heavy downpour of rain followed the hailstorm and a high wind Is still blowing. Jerry Ilaloy and a . man known at "Big Doughnuts," both of whom have at various times been Identified with tha fruit venders' calling, are the murderer of Max Calof. Unless a complete and logical chain ot circumstances are based on a series of strange coincidents, and the evidence of the normal eye and ear a delusion, the; are guilty. . The murder was cowardly and reck less, and perpetrated In the spirit of a rat at. bay. Every element of human fairness is eliminated from the crime. Three bullets were sent crashing into the tottering and feeble body of Max Calof, who could have been brushed from the path of the highwaymen by m wave of the hand. After two days' terrible suffering al the hospital the harmless old man died from the injuries inflicted by the revoN ver of his slayer. Details. of tha Crime.
