many OF the humble members of the
faith as possible admitted and 80, 900

AGLIARDI DECLINES SECRETARY
SHIP.
Rome, August THE selection OF a
new papal secretary of state is daily
becoming more complicated as there is
a division in the Sacred College such
as existed before the election of Plus X.
There is a strong sentiment in favor of
the disappointment of Cardinal Ram
polla because he is conversant with all
papal affairs and Cardinal Ferrata, who
belongs to the Rampolla party is alse
suggested. Plus offered the position
twice to Cardinal Aliardi, who declined
to give up the vice chancellorships of
the church. Cardinal SatOllj also de-
clined on the ground that he was not
sufficiently acquainted with the French
language and that he knew too little
Of foreign questions generally, except
those relating to America. He uggest-
ed Cardinal Nincentzo V~annutelli. Ne
gotiatiOns are proceeding to have Car
dlnal Agliardi while retaining the vice
chanceIlorship assume the secretary
