London, July 31.-A Rome dispatch
says that although the report that Mgr.
Diomede Falconio would succeed Mgr.
Satolli as papal delegate to the United
States had been hitherto entirely cred.
tied at the vatican, the pope has ap-
pointed as Mgr. Satolli's successor Rev.
Sebastian Martinelli, prior-general of
the Augustin's Clauses and brother
of the dead Cardinal Martinelli. The
fact that the nomination had been
made has been kept secret, even
from the most intimate associates
of his holiness, and upon it's be-
coming known occasioned a general
feeling of surprise. The pope's choice
is regarded as an excellent one. Rev.
Sebastien Martinelli is about so years
of age. He is learned theologian and
is thoroughly yerscd in the foreign pol
lev of the vatican.
