A NEW DEPARTURE
FOR ROMAN PONTIFF
Pope Leo XIII Designates His
Successor.
HE DOES SO IN HIS WILL
Ignores the ll.tbltu.nl Mode of Con-
clave t housing a rope — Cardinal
KumpolU Tilluglit to He Coining
Head of the Catholic Church.
London, M.'.y 4.—The pope, accord
ing to a disj atch to The Times from
Rome, is understood to have made a
will designating bis successor, thus, to
quote the correspondent, modifying the
habitual mode of choosing a pope by a
conclave. The nows of tbo pope’s will
first took shapu in a diplomatic uo.e
from the Bavarian minister to bis gov
ernment. The theory is simple—the
papal power, being absolute, involves
the right of having succession.
Dealing with the rumors of Cardinal
Rampolla's retirement from the office of
secretary of state, the correspondent
says: Rampolla is working for the tiara,
and If the pontiff died today the strug

dispatch, the corrospoadent says:
“There remains but one obstacle for
Cardinal Kampolla to overcome, an ob-
ftacle that Is immense in an affair
where traditions are everything. It is
contrary to custom for a secretary oi
state to succeed his master. This is
why it is not improbable that Cardiua*
Hampoila will strive to appear to have
been disgraced in order not to preservo
responsibility for authority in the throes
of death.’*
