Brief. but Interesting Ceremony.
Word was received in this city yesterday
morning by telegraph that Marquis Sacrp
anti would arrive in the afternoon, AMI
Mgr. Satolli at once sent out invitations to
a few friends to be present at the legation
at o'clock, when the formal ceremony
would take place. Among those who were
in attendance were Ambassador Patenotre,
Minister de LONE, the minister from Swift
Zerland, Bishop keane, Mgr. Mcmahon and
Father Orban of the Catholic University;
Mgr. Stephan of the Indian bureau of Cath
Ole missions, Father Magnien of st. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore, and Father Gillespie
of st. Aloysius Catholic Church, Mgr. Sba
retti and DR.. Rocker.
The ceremony was brief but extremely in
tereSting. The noble guard attired in
the full uniform of his position, most i'm
posing resala. The comforting of the Zu-
Ghetto took place in Mgr. Satollis private
reception room on the second floor. When
all were gathered, Marquis Sacripanti, in a
few words, explained his mission and hand
ed the consistory letter to Mgr. Sbaretti,
who read the brief official announcement
that on the 10Th of November, at consis-
tory, the pope had created the delegate a
cardinal.
Cardinal Sntollfs Address.
Mgr. SatolH acknowledged the honor In an
eloquent address in Latin. He thanked the
marquis for the office he had performed
and expressed the deepest feeling of graft
tude for the manifestation of personal re-
gard and fatherly love which the pope had
shown him.. Concluding his address, the
newlymade cardinal said:
Now l can feel that my labors in that
field have been successful, and 1 see my
richest reward in this very country where 1t
has rejoiced my heart to find that those men
who were my pupils and listened to my
teachings stand in the foremost ranks of the
clergy-an honor to the church and a pride
of the republic. When 1 came to this coun-
try the difficulties which confronted me
were such as might have easily discouraged
the most hopeful of men. No one can know
the obstacles l have found in my way. But
when at times l had almost lost my courage
and felt that success was scarcely possible,
l was strengthened by that same kindly
voice, and was assisted by that same help
ing hand, and went on knowing that all did
was done with the right intention and in
the faithful fulfllment of the minutest
orders and desires of Leo MIL
1T therefore cannot fail to be a matter
OF supreme qualification to me that the
pope has seen fit to put his approval on the
work which has been done in the estab-
lishment CT the apostolic delegation in the
United States by raising the first apostolic
da1n 70 to he n -rNf .
This qualification is increased that the
honor which the holy father has deigned to
confer on me is made the subject of re-
jocing to the whole of the people of this
great republic, Irrespective of religious be-
iefs. Manifestations of this general re-
jocing have not ceased to pour in upon me
since the first day it was known in this
country II at Leo Nil intended to make me
a cardinal
You, Marquis Sacrapanti, have made
long voyage to bring me this official COM
muricatcn. You have come from the old
world to the new, and it gives me sincere
pleasure to welcome you here You will
find, as l have found, that the American
people are second to none in their gener-
Gus hospitality. You will be received by the
same touching kindness by which l, when
1 came here stranger, was received. You
will find much to admire and wonder at in
this great country; much that to you COM
ing from the old world, Will be new and
marvellous.
Il am certain, however, that you will adj
mire nothing more than the wonderful
spirit of union and brotherly love which
prevails in this great republic. You will
see a people scattered over an enormous
extent of territory, with an infinite variety
of tastes and desires, and of material inter-
ests. but all united in the one great pur-
pose of the maintenance of the constitu-
tional unity and liberty. You have arrived
at a particularly interesting moment in
this country-at moment when a spark
has been sent throughout the length and
lN,.n1 = . nf rhn hi aI
tention of all it's citizens to a danger
which is thought to menace it, and what
ever may have been up to today the dvid-
irS interests of this great people, a new
manifestation of the patriotic spirit has
responded at once to this impulse, and in
reply Throughout the country but voice
is heard, proclaiming that if real danger
does threaten, all are, and will be, united
for the common welfare of the nation"
The new cardinal then took the new
zuchetto and placed 1t on his head, this
concluding the ceremony. Later the car
dinal, the marquis and the guests sat
down at handsome banquet served in
their honor.
On January the berretta will be con-
ferred on Mgr. Satolli by Cardinal Glib
bons at Baltimore, which will be the last
act of making him cardinal. He will,
however, have to go to Rome in order to
receive the cardinals hat. AS a cardinal
cannot BE- a delegate, the office he has oc-
cupied as archbishop, Mgr. Satolli is now
u pro-delegate.
The Noble Guard.
Marquis Sacripanti, the papal emissary
will remain in this city at least until the
formal celebration at tho cathedral in Bal
timore next month. His plans after that
do not seem TO be made yet, though he
may remain on this side long enough to
see something Of this country The mar
quis is a nobleman of prominence in Rome
and a man of position at the Vatican,

mission. He is a noble guard, a member Of
