VIII Hurt Peace Plans.

ROME, Oct 10.-A serious blow
was dealt Pope Benedictus' partially
formulated plans for restoring peace
in Europe, by the death of Cardinal
Ferrata, stricken with appendicitis.
AS papal secretary of state, he had
been charged by the new pope with
the delicate task Of feeling out" the
warning nations. 1t was understood
he has already set in motion the
vast power Of the vatican to thiS
end when his illness Frustrated him.
Cardinal Ferrata was one of the
leading candidates for the papacy
and is said to have polled heavy
vote in the conclave which selected
Pope Plus successor.
