DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
WILL THE POPE BE INVITED ? Br Telegraph.— Assoeiation.-CopyrigM.
Rome, January 23. Italy will participate in the Czar's Disarmament Conference only on condition that the Pope is not invited.
The last number of the Roview of Reviews states: "The Pope was not invited to the Conference on the Anarchists. It is still an open question whether or not he will be invited to the Conference of Peace. He professes! a great desire to help the Emperor in his humanitarian campaign, but those who profess to be in the secrets of the Vatican maintain that, should his delegates lie admitted, they will take their seats solely for the purpose of proclaiming that there can be no peace, and ought to be no peace, until the Pope has his own again. The Pope was represented at the Conference on Labour at Berlin, but he was left out in the cold at the Anti-Slavery Conference at Brussels. If the Powers believed that his admission to the Peace Conference would raise the question of the temporal power, the probability is that St. Petersburg would follow the precedent of Brussels rather than that of Berlin."
