FROM ACROSS SEA
Farley, O'Connen and Falconio
Formally Confirmed By the
Brethren Of College.

Rome. Nov. 2S-Obedient to a sum-
mons from Pope Plus X, the cardinals
In Rome assembled in q secret con.
sistory today and confirmed the papal
nomination Of 10 new members in the
college Of cardinals, the supreme gov
erning body of the Roman Catholic
church.
OF those thus honored, three are
citizens Of the United States. They
are Mgr. John M. Farley archbishop
of New York; Mgr. w. NJ. O'Connell.
archbishop Of Boston. and Mgr. Do
mede Falconio. apostolic delegate at
Washington.
Thus, with Cardinal Gibbons, Ameri-
ca will have now for the first time a
representation of four in the cardinal
ate. which probably much as now con-
stituted will elect a successor to the
reigning pontiff.
Pope Shows Weakness.
AS he entered the hall Of the con-
sistory. where todays ceremony took
place. the pope's step was less sure
and the careworn face OF his holiness
bore signs Of his recent illness. Never
theless he withstood the fatigue of the
long and trying ordeal braveIy.
In accordance with the ecclesiastical
law, public consistory must be held
three days after the private gathering
when the new cardinals, with the ex-
Austria, will receive their red hats
The Spanish and Austrian prelates
as is provided in the concordat with
those countries, must receive the BIZ
retta first from the hands Of their tenn
poral sovereigrs. The public consis-
tory will be held on Thursday in the
Hall Of the Beatification instead OF in
the Sala Regia, as at first planned
The former hall is much the larger
and was decided on today because OF
the many applications for admittance
Old Ceremony Performed.
Todays ceremony, though compare
lively simple. was carried out with q
dignity and form that has character
lied the Institution from the earliest
days. The consistory was set for 9
o'clock and early in the day great
crowds gathered in the Piazza Of ST
Peters and around the Basilica TO wit
ness the arrival OF the cardinals and
other dignltaries. Soon after O'Clock
a procession OF carriages was entering
the Porta Della Secca, and passing
through the court of San Domeso
from where their occupants found en-
trance to the palace.
AS the moment arranged for the ap-
pearance OF the pontiff approached the
assemblage separated in three groups
before the throne. In one group were
cardinal bishops, in another the cardi-
nal priests, to whom the new Ameri-
can cardinals Will be added, while the
third section comprised the cardinal
deacons. Behind the cardinals were
