ROME, June 25.-The public consistory,
postponed from June Is, was held to-day
with much pomp and additional interest
and reverence. for, in spite of the reassur-
ing news concerning the Pope's health,
many believed that this would be the last
consistory under Leo XIII. The assem-
blage gazed at the venerable Pontiff with
intense curiosity, and there was redoubled
interest in the cries of Long live Leo" He
looked a little more waxlike, a little more
bowed, his voice was somewhat thinned,
and it was evident his attendants were anx-
ious.
The Pontif was borne In the sedia gesta-
toria by eight bearers clad in red brocade.
They were flanked by the bearers of the
famous fiabelli or feathered fans. The
Pope smiled while he blessed the crowds
as he passed. In fact, at times he tried to
rise, so as to better impart his benedction,
and 1t was only when he descended from
the sedia gestatoria that his extreme weak
ness was apparent.
Following the Pontiff came gorgeous
line of scarlet-clad cardinals, friars in var
ious habits. priests and members of the
papal court wearing velvet knee breaches
and white cuffs. The church dignitaries
atine guards, which, with the Sistine choir,
chanting solemnly, formed an emotional
picture. Special tribunes were erected on
both sides of the papal throne for the ac-
commodation of the members of the diplo-
matte corps, the knights of Malta the
Roman aristocracy, the family of the Pope
and relatives Of the newly created cardi-
nails.
The ceremony was made as short as DOS
sible in order to lessen the Pontiffs fatigue.
The Pope sat on the throne facing the
brocade-covered benches, in the form of a
square, on which the cardinals were seated.
The new cardinals present who were to re-
ceive the red hat from the Pontiff accord
ing to custom, first took the oath in the
Sistine chapel, and were then ushered into
the Sala Regia, where they were greeted
by the master of the ceremonies On ap-
preaching the Pontif the three cardinals
knelt and kissed his feet and his hand, and
the Pope then gave them the double en-
brace. The new cardinals afterward en-
braced the other cardinals.
Returning to the Pontiff, each Of the new
cardinals there received from his hands a
cardinals hat, which ended the ceremony
The Pope thereupon rose, bestowed the
apostolic benediction, and, preceded by the
pontifical cross and surrounded by the car
dinals and his attendants. impressively re-
tired. Subsequently the Pope rejoined the
cardinals in the Sistine chapel and the
