announcing that Mgr. Martinelli will =

tober. No reason is assigned for tht
new delegates delay. He was expected
here September 20. On receipt Of this news
Cardinal Satolli announced that he would
adhere to his original programme of sail
ing from New York October II.
The second communication was q
letter from the Project of the Propa-
ganda reading
7 His Eminence Francis Cardinal sa-
tolli:-
Our Holy Father having nominated
as your successor at the apostolic dele
cation in Washington the Most Rev
ssebastiano Martinelld. Prior-General OF
the Hermfts of st. Augustine. you arr
hereby notified that soon after his conse-
Grafton as Archbishop of Ephesus Mgr
Marfinelh VIII hasten to Washington mi
relieve you from your onerous duties
at the apostolic delegation there. With
great affection.
Rome, Aug. 1.'
This is the first oficial communication
that the Cardinal has received on the
subject.
The new delegate will be accompa-
MED on his trip to America by the Pro-
vincial of the Augustinians in the
United States, Very Rev. T.. B. Driscoll
of Villa Nova. Pa, who has lately beer
visiting Rome.
According to recent letters Mgr. Mar
tinelli will be invested with much more
power thai Cardinal Satolli. The dele.
cation here win be raised to the dig
nifty of a full ecclesiastical court Of
final appeals. This tribunal is INTENDED
TO make the American Church self
governing. 1t will try all such cases al

The court win consist of the delegate

be appointed in time to accompan,
Mgr. MartineiIi to Washington; an audi
tor. a secretary. possibly an under clerl
and hve canonists, who will be selected
from the most learned professors of canor
law In the United States. The tribuna

case VIII come under its jurisdiction I'm
less regularly appealed from the decision
of a diocesan court.
During the time Of Cardinal Satolii tn,
delegation had no authority to try such
cases. In consequence the new delegate
will find a full docket, and his assistant.
will soon discover that the Office is not q
sinecure. While the sessions of this cour
will necessarily always be private, tht
presence of such a tribunal cannot fai
to make a notable addition to religious
and diplomatic life at the capital. Mgr
Martinelh and all the members of hi:
court viii occupy the residence on
street, Washington, which was presented
by the Catholics of America as a perma-
nent home of the apostolic delegation.

Herrmann's enteftainment furnished
