BALTIMORE. Nov 23.-Cardinal Gibbons
today confirmed the statement that the
beretta would be conferred on Archbishop
Satolli on December 15 in this city.
Mgr. Satolli has arranged to have the
ceremonies incident to his elevation take
place in the cathedral in this city on Sun
day. December Is, beginning at 1880 a. M"
said the cardinal. THE mass will be cele-
brated by Mgr Satolli and will have the
honor of comforting the beretta. 1mme-
diately after the announcement is made In
the consistory on Monday the member of the
noble guard designated by the holy father
to be the bearer of the beretta and ssu-
Ghetto will leave Rome for Washington.
Further details of the ceremony viii
not be arranged until after his arrival. 1t
can be said however, that in all particulars
the ceremony will be similar to that upon
the occasion of my own elevation, the ds-
tails of which were published al such length
in all your papers. 1t will include the usual
procession of dignitaries and clergy, special
music, etc Upon entering the cathedral
Mgr. Satoli and myself will occupy posi-
tions upon the epistle and gospel side OF the
sanctuary respectively. The member of
the noble guard from Rome and certain
designated members of the hierarchy will be
invited to seats within the chancel. The
ceremony of comforting the cardnaate will
precede the mass, and at its conclusion Mgr.
Satolli will leave the sanctuary and exchange
his purple robes for those of cardinal.
Upon his return he will celebrate high pom
tincal mass assisted by such bishops or
priests as he himself shall designate. Then
will follow the sermon, and this Is about all
that can be stated in regard to the ceremony
at this time.
"The invitations to the ceremony are now
being printed, after formula used upon
the occasion of my own elevation to the
cardinalate. which l furnished Mgr. Satolli
1t his request. The invitations upon these
occasions are always extended personally by
the person whose elevation is the occasion OF
the gathering. They will doubtless be sent
to all the prelates of the country, with whom.
from time to time, Mgr. Satolli has been
brought into official and personal relations.
"Just how many of them or what other
specially invited guests will attend the cere-
mony cannot be definitely known, however,
until the acceptances have been received,
which will probably be between the sth and
10th Of Decemher."
