USELESS TO NEGOTIATE.
France Has No Use for Cardinal Mer.
~ Del Val.

Rome. Dec. 2Z.-It having been currently
reported that all attempts to reach an
understanding with France will be use
less if Papal Secretary of State Merry Del
Val remains in office, it was semi-official-
ly stated today the pope has determined
to retain him and thus keep his word,
given to Merry Del Val when he con-
ferred the red hat upon him. On that
occasion the pontift remarked:
ut is pleasant to think that you will
be a powerful assistance to us so long as
our life lasts"
On the other hand. the enemies of the
cardinal claim that France looks upon
him as being prejGdiced and compromised,
and as it is impossible to change the
pope, there must be a change in the pa
pal secretary of state, such as occurred
under Popes Plus VI and Plus VII, when
the secretaries of state were often re-
moved until Cardinal Consalvi was made
papal secretary, and IN 1891 concluded the
cOncOrdat with Napoleon /. The names
of Cardinals Vincenzo, Nannutelli. Agii-
ardi. Satolli and Ferraa are mentioned
as candidates for the office.
