ESTABLISHED JUN E OMAHA, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1903—TEN POPE NAMES PRINCES ( PONTIFF Bix Eoolesiastios Attain Oardinal's Rank at Yesterday's Oonsistory. EASILY SURVIVES Oeremony is Bhortened to Relieve Aged Prelate as Much as Possible. ORDEAL HANDS TREMBLE, BUT VOICE IS CLEAR Impressive Bervioe Berves to Silence Rumors of Il Health. ARCHBISHOPS ALSO CONFIRMED IN PLACES Appointments Made by Brief Are Duly Announced by His Holiness to Assembled Multitude of Churchme: ROME, June 22.—The consistory was &pe- clally important owing to the persistent rumors regarding the pope's ill health and the previous postponements. Naturally, a ceremony in which the pope. half hidden in vestments, is borne on a chatr and is continually assisted, is not the best opportunity to judge of his ap- pearance or the state of his health, but a man capable of undergoing the strain of such a function has plenty of vitality. The pontiff's features seemed slightly more clear cut and his hands trem ceptibly, but his voice is plainly heard, though 1t has lost something of its power The ceremony was shortened as much a possible and only lasted about thirty-five minutes. All the cardinals of the curin were in- vited to the vatican half an hour before the pope's appearance and they assembled in the consistory hall in order of prece- dence, and formed a striking picture The entrance of the pope, clad in white vestments and surrounded by his trusted companions in their red robes, gave a finishing touch to the scene. After re- celving the homage of those present the pontiff recited a prayer and then pro- ceeded to the nomination of the new cardi- | nals. Proposes New Cardin The traditional secrecy was maintained, though it is now largely a matter of form. The pope proposed each new cardinal, the members of the sacred college signifying their assent by raisini their caps. The following wer: created cardinals: Mousignor Tallani, papal nuncio of Vienna: Monsignor Cavicchion!, secretary of the congregation of the councll; Monsignor Ajuitl, papal nuncio at Lisbon; Monsignor Nocella, secretary of the consistoral con- gregation; Monsignor Katschthaler, arch- bishop of Salzburg, Austria. Most Rev. Herroy Espinosa, archbishop of Valencla, The pope trapsferred Cardinal Serafino Vannutted from the bishopric of Frascat! to that of Porto Santa Rufini, which is of higher rank. Curdinal Betolll was transferred from the titular bishopric of Banta Maria in Ara- coeito the diocese of Frascati, near Rome Nominations of Archbishop Afterwards the pope announced the nom- fnations of several archbishops who had been appointed by brief. The pontiff appointed Cardinal Agliardi, who has been replaced as prefect of econ- omy of the propaganda, to be vice chan- cellor of the Chiesa Della Volpe. At the oconclusion of the consistory the pope went to the throne room, where, sur- rounded by the cardinals and the papal court, he recelved the homage of the new archbishops and bishops. The ancient cere- monies were observed, each of the prelates kissing the pontiff's foot and receiving apostolic benediction. In the meanwhile the masters of cere- monies, accompanied by church dignitaries, proceeded to the residence of Monsignor Fischer, Caviechion! and Nocella, and an- nounced their appointments and informed hem that the pope would bestow the red hats on them &t a public consistory to be held Thursday. Specially selected members of the noble guard will be sent to officlally convey the news to appointees who are abroad. It is reported that on his return to his apartments the pope said, smilingly, to his attendants: “Thers is no doubt I feel better after these ceremonies.” Among the appointments confirmed at to- day's consistory was that of Father Rob- ert Seton, formerly of Jersey City, N. J., as titular archbishop of Heliopolis. FAMINE IN CHINA IS WORSE Starvation. PEKING, June 3—(Via Victorta, B. C.
