Dubuque, Iowa, April lin the pres

church and before an audience that oc-
cupied every foot Of space in st. Raph-
aels cathedral and overfiowed into the
surrounding streets Archbishop John J.
Keane was today invested with the pal
lium, the insignia Of the high position he
occupies in the Roman Catholic church.
The scene was one of great brilliancy
and the ceremonies characteristic Of that
splendor and magnihcence for which the
Catholic church is noted. While the
absence of Mgr. Nartinelli was marked,
it detracted none from the grandeur of
the scene which was far beyond that oc-
casion of September II, 1898. when Mgr.
SatolH, now a member of the sacred con-
gregation, Rome, conferred the paIlium
upon the late Archbishop Hennessy in
this same cathedral Cardinal Gibbons
was here today as he was then; archbish-
ops and bishops from all parts of the
United States. weer here again and the
number of priests present was fully
double that on the other occasion. The
attendance of laymen from abroad was
very large and but few states in the
Union were unrepresented. It was a re-
markable tribute to Archbishop Keane.
The ceremonies opened at 10 o'clock
with a procession Of clergy and attend
ants, in which the cardinal, archbishops,
bishops and priests took part clad in full
vestments Of their rank. Passing from
the archepiscopal residence the process
sion entered the cathedral and moved up
the main aisle to the altar. Within the
sanctuary Cardinal Gibbons ascended the
throne on the left which had been yielded
10 him by Archbishop Keane, the latter
occupying a temporary throne on the
right which he had erected for himself

The scene was beautiful. The high
altar, almost hidden by palms, ferns and
flowers was dazzling with electric lights,
while the cardinals red robes, the aach-
bishops purple and white, and the priests
black and white, and the INTERVIEWING pa
pal and American colors with which the
auditorium was decorated made an al
most perfect color scheme. Archbishop
