'W \ A cablegram from Rome at 0 o'clock Wednesday morning gives- the follow IW WPOrt Of the Pope's condition} ?k, Another remarkable rally In Pop? i.-eo's condition occurred Tuesday af ?fe ternoon afler a morning In tho course of which Hie Holiness suffered spells of delirium and at times his strength sunk to the lowest ebb, and now he w lies In no worse condition than he was on Monday evening, except for the steady diminution of his strength. Monslgnor Ulselatl visited the sick room Just after midnight and on emerg , Ing stated that the Pontiff's condition was unchanged. A little later the Pope foil Into a sleep whjch It has Just been announced is fairly tranquil, although tho patients respiration is trouble some. " ~ ;;Tuesdayfci rally was characteristic ally opposed to every medical theory > ' arid consisted In getting out of bed, on which two hours previously the Pope himself had made all preparations for death. Unsatisfied with this exhibition of vitality, he transacted prlyate busi ness and received fou;* cardinals, with whom ho talked in /6n animated way. ft. fact, Pope l^eo's record for the day ? . .little of which appeared in the night's bulletin, tfould be incredible If it were not confirmed by th? doctors aiid tho cardinals present In lihe sick chamber. ^ None seem more perplexed than the doctors themselves. Dr. Lapponl said frankly: "I cannot* imagine how the Pope manages to keep alive." , According to the physicians the Pon tllf may die at any moment* even In the midst or one of those extraordinary intervals 'when his mind and body ptre-.j pent a comparatively sound appearance.

The clouds lifted, however. In 1814, (Vhen. as one result of Napoleon's over throw, Pope Pius returned to his sover eignty. He at once restored the So ciety of Jesus, which had been sup pressed by Clement XIV., and to the Jesuits the G'onnt and Countess Peccl Intrusted the education of the future Pope. , In 1832 the young student entered the academy or Jollege for Noble Ecelc Mastics, the nursery of most rtesttned for n diplomatic or administrative cq Thero he was educated In civil and. ec clesiastical jurisprudence, as well a? theology.

Cardinal Porcl was elected, after, three ballots, to be tlie successor of Plus IX. The secret balloting which preceded 11m? momentous ^choice wns of unusual length and the proceedings of the dig nitaries who took part fit It were, It would seem. much ngltnted. On Tuesday. February 10, the ttrft balloting for the election of Pope took won not disclosed (?> them. Ills fragfls hand was not outstretched above their heads for ?In* expected benediction, hike I 'ope Plus, !-?'<? XIII. iilso was "a prisoner." Hot there w us a wide and striking difference between the inapncr hi which Leo X 1 1 1, labored to attain bin ends and tbat of- bluff I 'ope Plus. lie hi rove, for Instance, rather for the principle than for the material re ality of the temporal power. He would possibly have contented himself with exercising sovereignty over that por tion of Komh* across the Tiber on Which stands Ht. Peter's and the Vati can, and a strip of territory extending to the seaport of Clvlta Veechln, bo that he might have been able to re ceive ainbassadois and^/flgrhmt alike on Papal territory. Without conceding anything to King Humbert and his successive Ministers, while o|>enly defying them at t linen and malting protests against the repeat ed Interferences of the monarchy wl^ the cherished privileges and with the property of the Church, Leo XIII. con ciliated rather than estranged Ills ad versaries, Hy his diplomacy, his foresight and the curious shrewdness which distin guished him he also won the good will or respect of foreign nations, It was at the beginning of his reign bis ardent wit h to bind the Papacy to all i he courts and rulers of the earth by diplomatic ties. As time rolled on he modified this ambition, iwjd made It his most zealous aim to gain the good will, the honor and support not of the rulers but of their peoples. And, as wo know, his prudence, his sagacity, his horror of extremes- did not exclude a certalu quiet, dogged firmness. It was tills tlrmuess that led Hlsmarck to uei'ortf' the Pope a defer ence which, be reserved for ,few. in deed Pope Leo and Paul Krturcr were the only statesmen whom he thorough ly and honestly admired. - LATB8T PORTRAIT OP POP8 LBO XIII, placo. Sixty-one Cardinals were pres ent. Cart! inn! Joachim Peccl's name was read out twenty-three times, but. though far ahead of nl^others It lacked the necessary two-thirds vote. In the afternoon another ballot was taken. Cardinal Peccl's name was announced thirty-eight time?, He had fervently prayed that he might escajn* the great hrtrden which he deemed himself una ble and unworthy to l?ear. The following moiling, February 20. 1878, the balloting was resumed, and Cardinal name wai* rea?l ftrriy four times, the two thirds majority limit was passed, and* Cardinal Peccl was canonlcaliy fleeted Supreme Pon tiff of the Church >of Christ. To the question of be sub-dean asking by wfc*t name he wished to .be called ho rfbswered 'By the name of Leo XIII." It Is supposed, and not without good reason, thut the advanced age of Car dinal Peccl, -his apparent feebleness and the belief that he would not lire very long to AIM be throne which Home of his companions lit the Sacred Col lege coveted." had much to do with his election. - The ability which hg revealed even to be has since ptsplaycd am ruler of the Roman Catholic Church.

HJs pale. wan. intellectual face, Those who were admitted to the InO tlmacy of Leo XIII. tdward the close of his beneficent career are well aware of the not perhaps unnatural and most Innocent pride with which he regards ed his own health and longevity. This pride occasioned his physician. Dr. Lapponl, muc \ anxiety, as it frequent ly led I.?h> XIII. to overwork himself quite needlessly. Almost to the end the late Pope'n eyesight was itnlm phlred. Ills interest in the 'social, po litical and spiritual affair* not only of Catholics btit oT htimflhltV' aUJarge,' was, even In the Ina": months oMds Pontificate, phenomenal. , V Tope I*eo was always a man ox ex tremely simple tastes, which he brought from his childhood's home at Carplneto, amid tin* hills, and possi bly his cautious temperament, curious ly combined with power and^unhesltnt tag decision, was Inherited from his mountaineer ancestors. - For his personal use His Holiness se lected Instead of one of the numerous magnificent suits of the Vatlcaine.few simple rooms containing little beydnd absolutely necessary artlcleF."*HUJ)M sTarida In au Meove. separated from a larger room by ? a curtain hanging' gracefully over marble columns.

On the death, or at the latest, the twelfth day afUr the death of the I'ope, the conch, ve assembles for the election of the now Pontiff. It Is held at tho beautiful Slatino chapel Within the walls of tho VaM can. Each, cardinal 1b allowed the service* of a secretary and ai) attendant, who while the conclave lasts occupy rooms odjacent to the peculiar cell allotted to their master. On tlie day fixed for the meeting of tho conclave the cardi nals assemble to hear a Bpecial mass for tlje Holy Bplrlt and to take the oath? of faithfulness and secrecy. 11 Once within the confines of tho con clave the massive doors are shut with double locks, and from that moment until tho new Pontiff Is elected, no pftrBon Is permitted to pans In or out. The meals for the assemblage are pre pared within the walls of the Vatican and delivered through a wicket gate, or rather, casement let Into tho'fcreat door. It 18 here, also, that on tho flrst^day of the conclave, a committee of cardi nals, appolntod by tho whole body, gives audience to the foreign envoys. This, however, takes place before tho conclave has actually men/for the pa pal election. The SlBtlne chapel is especially fit ted for the hiding of this momentous council of the Church. The stalls for tho cardinals, ranged on each Aide r are surmounted by canopies of cloth In the ecclesiastical colors, and at thfe far end, opposite the high altar, are places assigned to the secretaries. On' the al tar itself, or on the table in front of It, I 'j a chalice of sliver on whk^ rests the plx containing the host. When the mass has been said and 3 1 1 Is prepared tho conclave proceeds to lis solemn task. The election of a t'a^e Is effected by three methods, by accWnntion, by adoration, in which Is embodied the idea, of direct divine inspiration; by tho compromise or by vote. Pope Ia'o waH elected on the second day of tho conclave by acclamation. The system of voting, called the Scrup tinum, Is regulated by exact prcRcrlp* Mon. The proceedings are nndcr the ^i ructions of hIx cardlnaTB, two from * * " Y_J>>4.bi8hop8, priests and dea eaeh order u> f'-N. cons. a Every cardinal Is provided' "?> Voting paper, on which he writes the name of his chosen candidate, but not his own name.

Amid a solemn "hushXthc elector ? prays for ?whHe on -4he altar steps, and then declaring aloud that his vote Is given according to hts consclcnco, drops his voting paper in the chalice- When all 4?kve voted In like manner the aix scru tineers examiuc the papera and- pro claim the result.

Under these circumstances, on the afternoon of the same "day, a "second' vote take* place, supplementary to the Orat and called the accesslt vote. In this the procedure embodies the theory that eardinai-who obtained the largest number of votes in the morn-, tug is the moat acceptable to the con* clave. Cohiequently his name is the only one considered for the moment and each cardinal votes for him by writing the -word Aoeedo" ? on his icheda or voting paper, or signifies his dP -?#t by the* words " "Accedo nem xnir - If this new vote leads to no result, the papers are burned as before apd the conclave adjourns until the fdjc (owing morning, when the election be gins afresh and quite Irrespective of the previous day's proceedings. When, at length, the determining vote is taken and the cardinal deacon, as scrutinizes announces that a certain candidate has been elected' Pope, there Is a departure from -the proceedure adopted hitherto. The cardinal dea con opens each folded paper fully, and, reading the Latin motto which each cardinal has to inscribe on il fdr the purpose of ultimate Identification, makes known how each member of the conolave has voted. The election being over, a summons is at once sent to the perfect of cere monies, who speedily enters the chap el, bearing the fisherman's ring. An interval occurs, during which the cano pies are removed from the stalls of sll the cardinals except that of the newly elected Vope, and His Holiness retires to robe himself In the pontlflcial vest ments. ...... On his return the fisherman's^ ring lalftSced on his finger- T>y the cardinal camerlingo and the new vicar of Christ gives ? his first solemn ? benediction to the members of the sacred oqllege from the steps of the altar. Then, taking his seat on the Sedla Ceststorit the Pope receives the hqm ago of their eminences and communi cates the names which it is his pleas ure to assume as Pontiff. Next, the first cardinal deacon takes the oath of obedience, and, hastening to the grand loggia or balcony of St. Peter's, looking Onto the great piazza, an nounces to the^ expectant multitude the election of the Pope, using the form of words, consecrated by lmm* ttoritl Onager *l hr??i yuu mini# great Joy.
