LEO AND HIS CARDINALS.
The New Creations May Con-
troll the Papal Succession.
THIRTEEN VACANCIES TO BEFILLED

The Holy See Assumes an Attitude OF
Reserve Toward the Gladstonian MIN
istry-Thc Cerman-American Interests
and the Spanish Dipiomatists.
RoAE. Nov. lit is now probable that
the great cardinal cousistory will take
place on Dec TO- It is expected that the
pope will create thirteen cardinals out Of
Nle seventeen vacancies. Five are certain,
viz: Tours, Rouen, Grau, di Pietro, Per
sico. For England there is as yet no ques-
iion. Austria demands three, but the pope
win accord only Grau.
In his last audience the Prussian minis
ter renewed the kaiser's demand that Mon
signor Copp, bishop of Breslau. be included
among the cardinals, but the pope would
prefer the archbishop Of Cologne. As the
Prussian government opposes this selection
the archbishop Of Posen may be the final
choice Of the pope.
Mgr Farley, diocesan consultor to the
archbishop Of New York, denies being
charged with any special mission from Mgr.
Corrigan
Il is denied in vatican circles that Mgr.
Satolli has any missive regarding scholastic
questions in the United States. It is con-
sidered that these have been regulated
through the Ireland incident.
Serious pour parlers have occurred be-
tween the holy see, the Spanish government
and Spanish parties
It is known that on the death Of Nocedal,
the representative Of Don Carlos, his son,
the director Of the Siglo Future, solicited
the succession 20 his fathers post but that
Don Carlos preferred a Spanish grandee.
Nocedal then separated himself from 'the
king as being too liberal The schism
obliged Don Carlos TO reorganize his party,
and it has now circle in every village
No New EncycIical.
Beaten, Nocedal with his set has con-
ceived the idea Of forming themselves into
Catholic union ON the basis Of the recon-
mendations Of the papal encyclical Cum
Malta, and the programme Of which will
be 20 rally 70 the existing monarchy for the
better defense OF the interests Of religion
But Nocedal required that the pope should
write a new cncyclical, in order that the
power TO rally from one side TO the other
might be confirmed.
The present government, enchanted with
their recruit supported Nocedals request
through their ambassador at Rome. No
cedal sent TO Rome several of his friends TO
bring the negotiations 70 an issue. On the
other side, Don Carlos operated through
his agents In persuading the holy see that
it would be wrong to interfere
Tho situation in Spain is not the same as
in France Don Carlos has a Catholic pro
gramme. The organization Of his party is
powerful, with ramihoations in every viii
lage.
Things being az they are, the state OF
parties so precarious, the holy see will not
compromise itself The present truce will
last only till the death Of the queen regent,
against whom no one desires 90 hasten the
revolution. But at her death the Carlists
will actively interfere.
Then there are the Republicans, who
through CASTELAR,. Salmeron and Pi Mar
gall, now multiply declarations Of good
will toward the pope and church in assert
ing that the republic would at all times re-
spect Catholic rights Ia the face Of these
contending currents, the pope has decided
not TO grant the new encyclical.
Mgr Iarletti. bishop Of St. Cloud,
Mimi, has left Rome, going to St. Gall
During his last days here he dined with
Cardinal ledochowski and with the arch
bishops Of Bamberg and Munich. He has
spoken 20 his friends In a very positive
manner asserting that the development Of
the disputes viii not fail 10 be favorable to
the German party in the United States.
Special advlces, however, justify the as
sertion that the reverse is the case. But it
is undoubtedly true that all the friends Of
the German party In Rome are doing their
utmost 20 advance the interests of the
party.
The Vatican and England.
Divers influences have been brought to
bear upon the holy see regarding the atti-
tude toward the new English government.
IL is understood that the vatican win OBJ
serve for some time at least, the greatest
reserve. The holy see can rely ON its arch
bishops in England and on Mgr Walsh.
The holy father has caused a report to be
made TO him of the Chicago fetes and the
sympathetic receptions accorded to Mgr.
Satolli. the papal delegate. He has been
greatly pleased with the honors rendered
by America to his representative, and also
with the speech Of Mr.. Chauncey Depew
the prayer of Mgr. Ireland and the medal
struck by order of the committee on this
occasion Referring to the event, he said
"Ihe United States form great people, e
whom the future belongs
The vatican has advised the archbishop
of Seville that he will be created cardinal
at the next consistory. There is question
also Of an archbishop from South Americ,
being made cardinal The pope allow
himself 20 be guided in this choice by tw,
great ideas-not 20 re-enforce the power o.
the triple alliance in the sacred college ant
TO augment the foreign element
The vatican journals comment ON th
sanceling of the Farihault and Stillwate
scholastic contract. They attach certain
importance thereto since the nonrenewa
of the treaty proves how much the adver
saries Of Mgr Ireland have been in error il
critiCising his memorable initiative.
