Gelyed the following cablegram from
ITO the Most Eminent Cardinal Gibbons.
Archbishop of Baltimore, L. $. Al am

Immediately upon its receipt, the car
dinal, accompanied by Father Magnien,
| rector of st. Mary's Seminary, left Bal
timore for Washington to congratulate
| MIST. SatOli upon his promotion. They
remained for short time. dining with
! the monsignor at the legation, and re-
turned to Baltimore early in the after
noon.
The elevation of Mgr. satoni to the car
dinalate, il is stated at the legation, Will
not affect his present relations. He will
remain in America, but after the IMPOSE
ton of the biTetta he viii take the title
of pro-delegate, the practice of the
church not Warranting a cardinal in &C.
cupying the position of delegate.
The honor comes to Mgr. Satolli almost
coincident with the third anniversary of
his arrival in the United States, and his
entering upon Lne duties OF papdi dele
gate. While the same advancement in
rank is usually given to representatives
of the pope at the various courts in Eu-
rope, holding similar positions with Mgr.
SatOlli, his comes at a period somewhat
in advance of the usual time, and is
recognized as a mark of appreciation and
appreciation by the holy father of his SER
vices in this country.
The ceremony of comforting the biretta
owing to the distance from Rome at which
| the new cardinal is located, will differ
in detail somewhat from those used in
| this connection. The ordinary method is
| for the pope to send an ALLOCATE from
| Rome to carry the biretta, accompanied
| by a clerical secretary and a member of
| the noble guard. In this case Mgr Ba-
/ retta, being on the ground and of suffi-
| Gent rank is named as papal ablegate,
| and it is necessary only to send a member
| of the noble guard to convey the emblem
| of office. 1t will be a repetition of the
| form followed in Cardinal Rampolla's own
case, when he was elevated to the car
dinalate while acting as papal delegate at
| Madrid.
The ceremony to be held in Baltimore
| will be attended by large number of co
! clesastics of the church, and especially
| in this part of the country, and will doubt
less be a very brilliant affair.
