MGR. sAIoLLI.
Reports That He Is soon TO be Made a
Cardinal Not Doubted.

verify the statement tnat OInclaI notice
has been received that the ceremony Will
occur in two or three weeks. Mgr. Sa-
TOLL is absent in Canada, but his assist
ant, NJ. Sharretti, said no notice had be
received so far as he knew. Such COM
muuications will go to Mgr. Satoli, how
ever. The ablegate, it was added, had
not made known any such facts 10 his
household.
When Bishop Kean, rector of the Cath
Ollie University, recently returned from
Rome, he gave the Associated Press an
interview based on talk with the Pope in
which Bishop Keen stated that the Popes
encycllcaI next month would elevate the
American ablegate's household, and that
Mgr. Satolli would be made Cal linaI in
the course of time. The present report
appears TO be III line with Bishop Kean's
senl-officIal statement. The Bishop was
not at the university to-day, but the vice
rector, Rev. DR.. Carrigan, said that moth
ing was known further than has already
been stated by Bishop Kean.
DETAILS FROM ROME.
ROME, Oct. 18.-Information from the
Vatican makes it possible to give details
about the Cardinalate to be given Mgr
Satolli and the retirement of Mgr. Sa-
tollps Secretary, Father Papi from the
Vatican staff. in order to join the Jesuit
report of Father Papi's move, but the
facts are now learned beyond question.
fonr months ago Father Papi applied
here for his eXeat. The request was very
broad, ana contemplated retirement from
these official connections with the Vati-
can S foreign service, and the prospective
honors it had in store for him, II was
made known that he desired to retire
from the world and devote his life in the
Jesuit Order 10 study and teaching. To
this end he applied to the principal of the
Jesuits' Order in New York for admis-
sion, and on granting OF eXeat here he
would have been transferred. The plans
were modified, however, by the prema-
ture reports of Father PapTs intention.
1t was felt, also, by those having Jesuit
interests at heart that the accession OF
Mgr. SatOlli'S secretary to the Jesuits
might arouse criticism, on the ground
that the one best informed of the conf
dental transactions of the ablegate had
joined the order popularity supposed to
be opposed to Mgr. Satoili. While this
criticism would be groundless, it was
deemed advisable to avoid the possible
cause of a "Jesuit trick" For this
reason, is is believed, the New York pro-
vincial will advise Father Papi to wait q
year or two before taking his eXeat and
joining the order by which time Father

Concerning the Cardinalate to be con-
ferred on Mgr. Satolli, there appears no
ground for the reports that notice of the
appointment has been forwarded to the
ablegate. The consistory of Cardinals
which advises with the Pope on the crea-
tion of Cardinals does not meet until
next month, so the actual determination
Of his appointments will not be made
until then. In the meantime there are
seven names under consideration, from
which numbe it is considered certain that
the Cardinals must be named, Mgr. Satolli
among the five. There are no further
American names among those under con-
sideration. 1t is said the comforting of
the red hat on Mgr. Satolli will be cele-
brated at Cardinal Gibbons church in
Baltimore, and that several noblemen of
high rank and distinguished prelates Will
go from here as personal representatives
Of the Pope.
There is doubt yet as to whether Mgr
SatollPs Cardinalate viii carry jurisdic-
tion over a diocese, or will be purely
honorary. Cardinal Gibbons is also Arch
bishop of the Baltimore diocese, includ-
ing Virginia, Maryland and the District
OF Colum bla, which makes him prCmi-
nent as we'll as an honorary prelate
Whether q diocese will be created for the
new Cardinal is undetermined. 1t is
probable, however, that his jurisdiction
over questions between Bishops and
priests and other church conflicts will be
regarded as equivalent to diocese All
Of the papers in these trials are in Latin,
and as Mgr. Satolli is perfect Latin
scholar, as well as a master of common
law, he is considered better qualified for
the work than for supervision over an
active diocese. The title is, therefore,
likely to be honorary without the sup
Elementary power of an Archbishop.
ct, as the personal representative of the
Pope in America, the new Cardinal will
occupy station higher than that which
the powers OF an Archbishop could bring
him.
