VISIT TO ENGLAND ?
Extensive Travels Likely In Future. MEDIEVAL SCENES AGAIN. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 1.30 p.m.) ROME, February 7. As soon as the Italo-Vatican agreement is signed the King will pay a State visit to the Pope. The latter will celebrate Mass at St. Peter's in honour of the Royal famiiy. He will then formally call on the Kincr at the Roval Palace.
In consequence of the new regime, diplomats attached to the Vatican will take up their residence in Vatican territory. The Pope very keenly desired the agreement in order to resume the Aecumenical Council, suspended 60 years ago when interrupted first by the Franco-Prussian War and then by Garibaldi's march on Rome.
! The Pope will very probably make an extensive tour of the diocese, and it is practically certain he will visit England. His emergence from the Vatican is expected to revive the scenes of medieval splendour seen before 1870 when the Pope travelled on the Appian Way amid a magnificent cortege flanked picturesquely by the uniformed Swiss Guards cavalry accompanied by his Cardinals.
