zach new diEnitary. and shows what influence
he may have il tho future Conclave.
The new Consistory has refstablished. De
Ccsare says. that balance between tho foreign
and the Italian Cardinals which seemed at one
time to be menaccd. IL we count Lucien
Donaparte. born at Rome. rs IN Italian. and
Thomas Zigliant. born in Corsica. as French
man. there are at present in the Sacred College
80 Italians and 2S foreigners. or those are
French. Spanish. German. 8 Austro- -Hunga-
riRn. Portuguese. 2 Polish. . Irish. . North
American. English. and one Belgian. One OF
the Poles. Ledochowskr. is a German sub
jecs. the other. Dimajiwsky. an Austrian.
These Cardinals are nearly all priests; bat
six Cardinals are deacons. The new Cardinals
are none Of them very young. The Archbishop
OF Tours is ~. and Logue and Malagola. the
two youngest. were born In 1S40.
Those Of the new Cardinals who are the oc-
cupants Of Episcopal sees will. by apostolic
dispensatfon. return to their dioccses in the
usual manner The others remain IN ctria
and at present only those receive salaries
Tho sentiments OF the now French Cardinals
are. as might be expected. hostile to united
Italy. The nomination OF Cardinal Vasgary,
Bishop OF Strigonia. Primate OF Austro- Hun
gary. has at this moment u certain Importance.
But does 1t mean friendship or estrangementp ?
Cardinal EasEary. who formerly appeared to
hold less extreme views. has OF late attacked
Italy and her institutions. and shown himself
the violent opponent Of the proposed law for
compulsory civil marriage in Hungary The
discourse addressed by Mgr. Vaughan. Arch
bishop OF Westminster. to tho Pontiical
Master OF Ceremonies. who presented to
him the bi9IieHO OF his elevation. was CON-
pletely In accord with the views he had always
expressed on the Roman question. and which
he untlinchinGly set forth in his sermon
at the pro-cathedral. Kensington. last Rosary
Sunday. He declared that the PontifI must be
free and sovereign. and that those enemies
OF Christianity" who have sworn to destroy the
temporal power. comprehended this i'd co per-
fectly. Some would place the Holy Father at

native realm" The Cardinal then went on to
say that the English people. even the Acath-
olici those who are not Catholic- admire the
persistence OF Leo MIL In defending himself
against his enemies, for the English. too, are
said never to know when they are beaten"
The Spanish Cardinal. Sanghe Fores. is O
frank and vivacious opponent OF Italy. He
owes his exaltation n to his violent conduc at the
Catholic Congress held at Seville. OF which
diocese he is Bishop
Michael Logue. Archbishop OF Armagh. is q
more moderate character and an excellent
Bishop. He Is remembered for his active
charity during q great famine in Donegal
when he managed to collect 10000 for his
flock. Mgr. Persico net him while in Ireland.
and it is perhaps owing to the good report
brought back by this prelate that he has been
raised to tho purple. Archbishop Walsh 81
Dublin. 1t is said. looks at tho honors bestowed
on Logue with indignation. After all. his two
predecessors were both made Cardinals. But
the Pope It seems. does not like Mgr. Walsh's
Irish politics. and Cardinal Logue Is. after
all. Primate OF all Ireland.

among the new Cardinals is that Of Kopp.
