TWO new CARDINALS.
First Consistory of Plus X Was
Private and Simple.

Rome Nov. 9.-The inhabitants of
this city had been looking forward with
unusual interest to the consistory today
principally because it was the first to
be held by Pope Plus X The meeting
of the cardinals, however, was quite
simple and private, the poInp and cere-
mOny of the vatican court being re-
served for the public consistory, which
will be held Thursday. Only the pope
and the cardinals were present today.
The latter, according to custom gath
cred somewhat early in ante-chamber
near the hall of the consistory from
where they passed into the latter place,
the many papal guards in attendance
rendering them sovereign aonors. The
cardinals took their places according to
precedence. Every one except Pope
Plus showed excitement and preoccupa-
ton. The pontin rose at his usual
hour and after q private mass, he par
took of a cup of coffee and went for q
brisk walk in the third loggia. return
ing in time to dress for the ceremony at
IL.
The pontif walked frs.a his apart
rnents accompanied only by the person.
ages in Immediate attendance on him.
AS he entered the AalI off the consistory
the picture produced was very striking
the red gowns of the cardinals and the
white and gold and red mantle of the
pope giving pleasing coloring to the
scene. The commanding appearance OF
the pontiff was somewhat softened by
his silver hair under which his blue eyes
glea med with pleasure and friendliness-
He wore the full pontifical robes which
are only used at a secret consistory once
in each pontificate, namely, for the first
one When the pope had seated himself
on the throne all those present, one by
one paid him homage, after which the
master of ceremonies called upon all
but those authorized to take part in
the consistory to leave the hall, which
was done. When the doors had been
closed and a guard had been stationed
before them, outside, Pope Plus IN a
harmonious voice intoned prayer. Car
dinal Oreglia. dean of the sacred college,
then stood up and in a few words
thanked the pontiff for having put aside
his private preferences and accepted the
burden of the church. The pope replied
in an allocution which received unlVer-
sal appreciation
Then the real business of the day was
proceeded with, the appointment of the
two cardinals, Mgr. Merry Del Val, ths
papal secretary of state, and Mgr. Cal
Tiger. archbishop of Padua, being an
nounced by the pope, who said in Latin:
What have you to say?
In response the cardinals raised their
caps as sign of affirmation on their
part.
This was all, so every doubt was laid
at rest for the present regarding the
appointment of another American car
dinal.
The confirmation of the appointment
of the Rev. J. J. Harty, as archbishop
of Manila and of the Rev. Pedro Con
zales V Estrade as bishop Of Havana
and the Right Rev. Maximillan Reynosc
Delcoralas, titular bishop of No
cesera followed.
The pope then arose and bestowed
the apostolic blessing, after which he
returned to his apartments.

THEY FEAR CANCER.
Germans Are Worried About
the Emperor's AiIment.

New York. Nov. 9.-Information con-
tanned in private dispatches received
here shows that the operation on EN-
peror William is similar to the first
one performed on his father and con-
hold. The official statement issued by
the surgeons fails to reassure because
it is we'll understood that for reasons
of state the emperor would be given
the benefit of any doubt as to the true
character of his disease.
1t is recalled that the surgeons at
that time made nothing of the first
oDeration on Emperor Frederick.
There is anxiety because both EN-
peror Williams father and mother
died of cancer, and his grandmother,
Augusta. also was so afflicted The
emperor's aunt. the grand duchess of
Baden, as is we'll known in Germany,
is suffering from the same malady
Tt will take months to decide
whether the fears now entertained are
weight Of scientific authority which is
in attendance upon the emperor
affirms that he has not cancer.
Prof. Bernhard F'raenkel, the eminent
throat specialist of Berlin university, in
an interview today with the correspond
ent of the ASsociat ted Press said:
THE public concern about the emper-
or's condition is unwarranted. The facts
are absolutely as stated in this morn
tng's bulletin. The people are only agi-
tated because they remember that the
first reports about Emperor Frederick

Friday morning, and was to have re-

Thursday night. He failed to appear
at this meeting, and it has since de-

for his Irregularities, and it is thought
that he did not take much of the money
away from the city with him.
Mrs Curtis said that she believed Cur

did not get along well together. she

husband was of no apparent concern to
her. She said he left her without a cent
of money, and she wanted to return to

in the fourth round of what was sched-

from a series of blows on the jaw and
body. Peter laid on the floor and
rolled over, taking good care to put
his arm under his head, and stayed in
that position until the referee tolled

In the third Maher began to show
signs of the fast work. being very
tired and wobbly on his legs.

aggressive, and taking advantage of
Maher's signals of distress waded into
