for some time, so that at the next
COnsistOry the new cardinals to be made

$1,000 a year TO each Of the cardinals who
reside in Rome. while those who receive
support from dioCeses have been paid
no such salary since the early days of
the reign Of Pope Leo XIII.
Among those who are soon to be nomi-
mated TO the cardinalate are two Ital-
ians; Mgr. CavaIlari. the new patriarch
OF Venice. and Mgr. Bonazzi, archbishop
Of Benevento.

notified, through Cardinal del Val. that
no French cardinals will be named for
