PRELATE ADDED TO LIST IS NOT PUBLICLY NAMEI Identity May Not Be Known TJnt; After Death of Pin*. , PONTIFFS HEALTH IS FUUJ Shows Effects of Recent Illness, an Appears Tired and Careworn. Vatican Ceremonies Simple But Impressive. HOME, November 27.?Obedient to summons from Pope Plus X, th cardinals in Rome assembled in secret consistory today and conflrme the papal nomination of nineteen net members in the college of cardinal! the supreme governing body of th Uoman Catholic Church. Of those thus honored three ar citizens of the United States: Mgi lohn M. Farley, archbishop of Ne\ York; Mgr. William O'Connell, arch bishop of Boston, and Mgr. Diomed Faiconio, apostolic delegate at Wash ington. Thus, with Cardinal Gibbons, Araer ica will have now for the first tim a representation of four in the cardi nalate, which probably much as nor constituted will elect a successor t the reigning pontiff. That this duty could not be delayo many years was an unwelcome though that came on the present occasion t those who had participated in the las previous consistory, four years ago. Pope Looks Careworn. As he entered the hall of the con sistory where today's ceremony tool place the Pope's step was less sun and the careworn face of his holines bore signs of his recent illness tha had come to stay. Nevertheless, he withstood the fatigu of the Jong and trying ordeal brmrrelj with h smile for each and a wofd for ser eral in the long proceseion that passe before, the papal throne. In accordanc with the ecclesiastical law, a pgWie e*r sistory must be held three days after th private gathering, when the new cat dinals, with the exception of theoc fret tip* in and Austria, win receive their re 1.^*/. TV, . neiir*. i fit" npsuicii sini awiiwi jjinun as is provided in the concordat with thot countries, must receive the blretta flri from the hands of their tempori sovereign. The public consistory will fc held Thursday in the hall of the beatif cation instead of in the Sala Regia, as first planned. The former hall is muc the larger and was decided upon thl morning because of the great number c applications for admittance. Simple, But Dignified. Today's ceremony, although com pars tiveiy simple, was carried out with stately dignity and form that has charat terized the institution from the earllei days. Save for those participating might have been a scene from the thii teenth or fourteenth century. In olde times the sacred college met In seen consistory, and there discussed an finally decided upon the Pope's nomtns tlons. Frequently objections were raise iv vaiiuiuairs ana incir names were neve proclaimed. Hence the privacy of th mtvtin? At present, however, the cor Bent of the members to the papal prograi It, assured in advance and the election i purely formal. The consistory was set for 5 o'clock and early in the day great crowds gath ered in the piazza of St. Peter's ant around the basilica to witness the ar rival of the cardinals and other dig nitaries. Soon after 8 o'clock a proces sion of carriages was entering th< Porta l>ella Zecca and passing througl the court of San Domeso, from wheri their occupants found entrance to thi palace. Gathered in the hall, those whom dut: or privilege brought there chatted to t few moments, noting sadly the pass ins of several who had been presen on the last similar occasion. As th< moment arranged for the appearance o the pontiff approached the assemblag separated in three groups before th throne. Grouping- of Cardinals. .

Be hind the cardinals were the patriarchi archbishops, bishops, heads of orderi other hitch personage* and various per sons familiar to the papal court. Presently the door at the rear of tl hall was opened and the Noble Guards I their brilliant uniforms appeared, makir way for the white clad figure of bis hoi nes-s. Followed by Swiss Guards* and h smite the pontiff paused for a moment i the threshold while those present bei the knee. With a smile he greeted the ? and then walked to the throne. The pr cession before the throne followed 1mm dlately. Each dignitary, according to pre edcnce. approached in turn, and, knee ing. kissed the papal ring. It was a lor and tiresome ceremony which Pius X bo with great patience. As the last of tl number paying homage returned to h place the master of ceremonies loud i proclaimed "Extra omnee," end gradual the greater number withdrew until tl pontiff and the cardinals were left alot for the duties which had brought the together.

Everybody Has a Ouess. v\ no was me repumican senator wno in v the role of the tempter took Theodore Roosevelt up into a high place, and point1 ed out the kingdoms of the- political * world spread below him? Who wafc the e man to whom he had to say "Get thee bee hind me?" . A number of senators were asking each P other these questions today. . At first e blush suspicion fell upon Senator Jona1 than Bourne, the great Warwick of the progressives. It was recalled how Senator Bourne had blown the horn for "the second elective term" for Roosevelt all the time Roosevelt was urging the noml. nation of Taft, though his voice was as ? one crying in the desert. .Then, when Mr. Taft was nominated. Senator Bourne was the first to show up i on the golf links at Hot Springs to give r the glad hand to'thd candidate. Sad to relate, however, the new-born enthusiasm ' did not last long, and Senator Bourne e is now opposing President Taft's renoml t nation, and is supposed to be canting about for an "available" candidate as'he f sees him. Thus it befell that suspicion was cast upon Senator Bourne'of being 1 the prominent republican senator who i offered bis forces, horse, foot and dragoons to Col. Roosevelt, u But 8enator Bourne denies the soft t impeachment. He declares there is ho ground for the suspicion that he may r have turned to his first affection; not 8 that he loves Taft more or Roosevelt ? less?he just didn't do it, that's all. Senator Crane Picked. Ha! 'Twas Senator Crane of Massachusetts, the voice of speculation next - whispered. a "But Senator Crane has been the Pres% ident's firm supporter," objected the ine credulous. ' "Ah. well, but he is afraid the republican party-will lose with Taft and he _ wants a winner; that's why he turned to " Roosevelt," asserted the gossips. Senator Crane Is not in town and if he were it is not thought he would turn the spotlight upon any statement on that subject. He is of a very modest, retiring disposition and would hardly claim, his friends say, that he can make and unmake presidential candidates. So that gueses go around, touching first one and then another, but finally come against the suggestion: "Well, what's the difference anyhow? Col. Roosevelt says he does not want it." Will Try to Boat the Yankee. Another effort is to be made to float the army transport Tankee, .which for several years has been lying at the bottom of tho^tlantic ocean off the Massachusetts coast.

The object of the first seizure of Tiger ill was shown by the early appearance f four cruisers, and later in the day of rher warships.

The snsulate is well guarded by marines. Sunday's attack can only be condered a slight foretaste of bigger tings to follow, because the main ody of the revolutionaries is steadily ivesting every side and bringing the g guns into position on every emi;nce. The plans of the attacking force re not revealed. The revolutionaries iay not attempt to rush the city, but iay prefer to bombard steadily and wait its surrender. But if breaches re made in the walls of the city, and le rebels enter, it is believed that j en. Chans and the loyal troops will ake a desperate stand. ( Demand That Throne Abdicate.

I looked back and saw it was Jim 8mith. I knew him because he helped build the house I live in. and only a day or two before he had come over to borrow an arithmetic book from one of my children."
