SACRED COLLEGE
NOW REDUCED To 46
Preparations for Consistory Next
January---Only Two Cardinals
Represent :English-Speak-
ing World.

Rome, Sept 25.-From half a
dozen high Vatican sources the infor.
nation was cleaned today that prepar-
atious are steadily in progress for
consistory in Januarp 1912 to fill vacan-
cies in the College OF Cardinals.
With Cardinal Puzyna's recent death
a. Vienna, the membership Of the
Sacred College was reduced from the
usual seventy to folty-six. Of this
number, q are employed in Rome in
connection with the church's general
administration, ten are archbishops OF
the various Italian cities, leaving only
fifteen to represent the entire Catholic
world outside of Italy, 10 the event of
the sudden summoning OF a conciave
to elect a new Pope. For the entire
English-speaking world at the present
time there are only two representatives
in the Sacred College, Cardinals Glib
bons, of Baltimore, and Logue of
Armagh.
/. is largely because OF this lack OF
| ADEQUATE representation that Pope Plus
has yielded to the strong pressure
brought to bear upon HIM by the var
ious Catholic nations and decided TO
summon 4 consistory.
Although the pope has the right to
appoint cardinals without summoning a
consistory, in the entire history Of the
church this has been done but three
times and then in cases OF pope, sud-
denly confronted with the possibility OF
d, ath hastily appointing cardinals 10
fiji th, ,lca Is in the Sacred College.
1t il rot necessary that the member
ship Of the Sacred college be complete
in order to elect 4 new Pope. This has
been done in the past with as few as Is
memh, r. Of the conclave. At present,
however, there il a world wide demand
that the Sacred College be made repre-
sentative OF the entire Catholic world.
There is p widespread belief in Rome
that when the time arrives for the cleo
)tion OF a Successor to Pope Plus. the new
Pope libe chosen from among the new
cardinals. The Sacred College at present
is declared to lie hopelessly divided,
ono faction believing that the Pope
should confine his efforts to the rel!g-
inus welfare OF the church. and one de.
string n Pope of sufficient political
statuteness to secure temporal king
dom, similar tolthat possessed before the
unifcation of Italy in 1870. So wide
apart are these factions that it is con-
sidercd doubtful If even Cardinal Ram
polla, now the leading candidate for
the papacy, with all his unqnestioned
popularity, would be able to unite
them sufficiently to secure for himself
the necessary two-thirds majority for
election to the papacy.

A Heat Phenomenon

A workman In the observatory at
Toulouse has invited attention to a
singular phenomenon. A bar or iron
Is taken by one end and the other end
is plunged into a fire, heating it high
ly, but not SO much that the hand can
not retain its hold. The heated end Is
then plunged into a pail Of cold water
Immediately the other end becomes SO
hot that it is impossible to hold 1t.
This phenomenon, familiar to work
men, is s:scribed by them to some re-
pellent action they suppose the sud
den cold exerts upon the heat contain
ed in the iron, which is thus driven to
the opposite extremity.

FROM WASHINGTON.

William Loeb, jr., collector Of the
port of New York, and formerly private
s ,cretary to President Roosevelt may be
the manager OF President Taft's cam.
paien for reelection. 1t was learned
today that one Of the subjects under
consideration between Mr.. Loeo anu
his friends when he visited Washing
Ton last week was the advisability OF his
accepting the Craftsmanship OF the re-
publican national committee, which
position carries with it the responsible
ity OF directing the political fortunes OF
the president and his party. Mr.. Loeo
services are wanted by the president >
friends first because OF the political
ability he demonstrated on many oc
casions while serving at the White
House and, second, because he is re
garded rs progressive and Tor that
reas IN might do much in healing fac
{ onal wounds.
While Mr.. Loeb has not yet been
formally requested to give up bis posi-,
ton in New York to enter the political
field it is known that such request
will be made in the near future unless
President Taft unexpectedly calls upon
Charles d. Hilles, his private secretary
to act as his political manager.
Little or no work has been done by
the republican national committee since
Frank H. Hitchcock resigned as char
man after his appointment as post
master general. Former Governor
John E. Hill, Of Maine, was appointed
acting chairman more than q year age,
but it has always been understood
that his term of office would
expire as soon rs the president
found the man he was looking for. Mr..
Hitchcock is not even considered as Z
possibility for the place, he having
made it plain to the president aud MS
friends that he would prefer to remain
in the cabinet. He could not do SO, rs
he accepted the craftsmanship OF the
national committee. Mr.. Loeb's friends
in Washington with whom he conferred
last week are confident that he will not
hesitate to accept the call OF the presl-
dent, although his resignation as COZ
Iector of the port of New York would
mean a financial sacrifice.
