Rome, Dec. 24.—It having been cur- rently reported that all attempts to reach an understanding with France will'be useless if Papal Secretary of State Merry del Val remains in office it was semi-officially stated during the day that the pope has determined to retain him and thus keep his word to Merry del Val when he conferred the red hat upon him. On that aceasion the pontiff remarked: “It 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 clalm that France looks upon him as being prejudiced and compromised and as it is impossible to change the pope there must be a change'in the papal secretary of state, Such as occurred under Popes Pius VI. and Pius VIL. when the secre- tarles of state were often removed until Cardinal Consalvi was made pa- pal secretary and in 1810 concluded the concordat with Napoleon I.. The names of Cardinals Vincenzo, Vannu. telll, Agliardi, Satolli and Ferrata are mentioned as candidates for the office. BY DECISIVE MAJORITY. Anderson and Cherry were brought from Minneapolis yes. tarday afternoon by Sheriff Bai- ley. They were accompanied by Mrs. Cherry and W. H.
