CONSISTORY is HELD

BeStOWs Red Hats and An
nOunces Appointments.

ROME, June 25.-The public con-
sistory, postponed from June Is, was
held today, with additional interest and
reverence, for many persons believed
that this would be the last consistory
under Leo XIII. The assemblage gazed
at the venerable pontiff with intense
curiosity and there was redoubled en-
thusiasm in the cries, Long live Leo"
He looked a little more waxlike, lit
tie more bowed, his voice was some
what thinner, and it was evident that
his attendants were anxious.
There were many strangers among
| the crowds of people who gathered in
the corridors of the Sala Regia and
Sala Ducale to witness the passage Of
the cortege. The pontiff was borne in
the Sedia Gestatorfa by eight bearers
clad in red brocade. They were flank
ed by the bearers of the famous Fla
belliy of feathered fans.
The pope smiled while he blessed the
crowds as he passed. He tried to rise
so as to better impart his benediction
and it was only when he descended
| from the Sedia Gestatoria that his ex-
I IRENE weakness was apparent.
| Following the pontiff came a gor-
! geous line Of scarlet-clad cardinals,
friars in various habits, priests and
! members Of the papa1 court, wearing
velvet knee breeches and white ruffs.
/ The church dignitaries. were escorted
| by the Noble, Swiss and Palatine
| guards, which with the Sistine choir
| chanting solmenly, formed an emotional
| picture.
Special tribunes were erected on
| both sides of the papal throne for the
/ r1sa%ss
/ diplomatic corps, the knights of Malta,
the Roman aristoeracy, the family of
[ the pope and relatives of the newly
| created cardinals. Among the Amerf-
cans present were Mgr Farrelly, Sec
| rotary of the American college and
privy chamberlain to the pope; Most
Reverend Robert Seton formerly Of
| Jersey City, n. j., titular archbishop
of HeliopoIis, and Rt Rev. F. z. Rock
er, bishop Of Jarro Philippine islands.
+ The ceremony was made as short as
possible in order to lessen the pontiff's
| fatigue. The pope sat on the throne
! facing the brocade-covered benches in
| the form of a square, on which the car
| dinalS were seated. The new cardi-
| nails first took the oath in the Sistine
! chapel and were then ushered into the
! Sala Regia, where they were greeted
| by the master of ceremonies. On APP
| preaching the pontiff the three cardf-
| nails knelt and kissed his feet and his
| hand, and the pope then gave them the
double embrace. The new cardinals
afterwards embraced the other cardi-
nails. Returning to the pontiff, each of
| the new cardinals received from his
| hands a cardinal hat, which ended the
| ceremony.
The pope thereupon rose. bestowed
J the apostolic benediction and preceded
I u u
by the cardinals and his attendants,
| impressively retired. Subsequently the
pope fejolned the cardinals in the Sis
tine chapel. and the pontiff announced
the new episcopal appointments.
