The professor shot several words

statement at st. Paul on January 4,
when he said: GAS a plain matter of
fact, there were no atrocities in the
Congo. This may not be taken as
meaning that every minor official in
the territory is guiltless Of unjusti-
fable greed, or of blameworthy treat
ment of the natives, or that the Bel
gian operations, on the whole, in q

atrocities took place and were the re-
suits of general administration, ia
entirely false.

Cardinal Satolli as boy displayed
gifts of oratory of the highest order,
both in his native tongue and in &C.
clesiastical Latinity and to those ac-

Of original thought and marked facil-

When Pope Leo XIII went to Rome,
Cardinal Satolli was summoned to the
Vatican. In 1886 he was appointed the
president of the Academy of Noble Ec-
clesiastics, a school. in which young
clergymen of birth, fortune, and tai
ents are trained in ecclesiastical diplo-
macy and prepared for important posts
Of church administration In June,
1889, he was created titular archbishop
Of Lepanto.
In the fall of 1889 Archbishop Sa-
tolli was delegated by the Pope to rep
resent him at Baltimore on the occa-
sion of the celebration in that city of
the centenary of the Catholic hier-
archy in the United States, and also a.
the Inauguration of the Catholic uni
versity of the United States in WASH
ington.
1t was on those occasions that he
made the acquaintance Of Archbishop
Ireland, for whom he acquired strong
feeling of admiration and regard, which
was deepened by Mgr. Ireland's sub
sequent visits to Rome. Cardinal Sa-
tolli was presented to President Harri-
son and members of the cabinet at
Washington and became greatly i'm
pressed with the vast possibilities for
the advancement of the Catholic
Church in the United States. The vis-
it and the accounts he carried back
to the Pope formed a prelude to his
designation as apostolic delegate to
the United. States in 1898.
In 1895, two years after his appoint
ment as delegate, Cardinal Satolli
was elevated to the College Of Cardi-
nails and he was invested with the ber-
retta by Cardinal Gibbons in the Bal
timore cathedral in January, 1896. The
ceremony was a most imposing one and
was attended by many notables.

been deposed from the rectorship of

titude on questions that were promi-
nent then and because of his friendli-
ness to Henry George and the promo

Poverty club.
Through Cardinal Satoilis efforts DR.,
McGlynn was restored to his priestly
faculties and was placed in charge OF
a parish in Newburgh. On the death

would have had considerable support
