IN SOLEMN SPLENDOR.
The Rod Beretta Is Conferred Upon
Apostolic Delegate SatolIi.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 6.-The second step in
the elaborate ceremony of elevating Fran
els Satolli, archbishop of Lepanto and
apostolic delegate to the United States, to
the rank of cardinal, prince of the church,
took place in the venerable cathedral here
yesterday.
Archbishops, bishops, monsignors and
divnes OF various grades in the Catholic
church, statesmen, diplomats and hun
dreds of the great and lowly, Catholics
and nom Catholics, witnessed the services.
Prominent prelates from every section
OF the country took part in the proceed
ings, and the splendor of the vestments,
the grandeur of the music and the pomp
of the ritual combined to form spectacle
of rare impressiveness and brilliancy.
The ceremony consisted of comforting
the beretta, which is the cap worn by
priests on ordinary occasions, and differ
ing only in the case of cardinals in that it
Is red. The preceding steps have been the
comforting of the muchetto or red skullcap
and the administering of the oath. The re-
naming step is the comforting Of the red
hat, which must be done in Rome, by the
pope himself, within six months from
Nov. 80, the day upon which Satolli's APP
pointment was made.

There has been no overt act of defiance
