Serious Friction Probable.

RoME, March l5.-serious friction is
threatened between the Vatican and
France in regard to 4ho appointment Of
a primato in Africa to succeed the late
Cardinal Lovigerie. The pope demands
that France shall provide the primate
with a fixed allowance for his mainten.
ance, and to this the French govern.
ment objects. Tho pope, therefore,
holds that If tho primato is to look to
the church for 5 upport, the church
should not submit to dictation or inter-
ference as to the appointment, and the
pope has minated that he may nomi-
nate an Italian for the office. In such
an event n serious conflict will surely
result, rs France would decidedly OBJ
ject to having an Italian primate over
Catholics. Tho large majority Of whom
are either French or the subjects OF
France.
