Brief, the Legation Residence in This City Last Evening. but Interesting Ceremony at It is now “Cardinal” Satolli. The formal notification that the papal delegate tad been made a member of the college of cardinals Wes received at the legation last evening. The consisterial letter and zuchetto or little red skull cap were brought to this cily by Marquis Sacripanti, a noble guard and spe- celal emissary of the pope. They were trans- fevrea to the new catdinal with impressive ceremonies. Marquis Sacripaati came over from New York yesterday in a private car placed at his disposal by the presideat of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. With him were Dr. Rooker, Mgr. Satolli's private sec- retary; Maj. Keiley, Mr. McGuire, surveyor of the port of New York, and Mr. Neagle. Brief, but Interesting Ceremony. Word was received in this city yesterday morning by telegraph that Maryuls Sacrip- antl would arrive in the afternoon, and Mgr. Satolli at once sent out invitations to a few friends to be present at the legation at 6 o'clock, when the formal ceremony would take place. Among those who were in attendance were Ambassador Patenotra, Minister de Lome, the minister from Swit- zerland, Bishop Keane, Mgr. McMahon and Father Orban of the Catholic Universit Mgr. Stephan of the Indian bureau of Cath olic missions, Father Magnien of St. Seminary, Baltimore, and Father G of St. Aloysius Catholic Church, Mgr. Sba- rettl and Dr. Rooker. The ceremony was brief, but extremely in- teresting. The noble guard was attired in the full uniform of his position, a most im- posing regalia. The conferring of the zu- chetto took place in Mgr. Satolli’s private reception room on the second floor. When all were gathered, Marquis cripanti, in a few words, explained his mission and hand- ed the consistory letter to Mgr. Sbaretil, who read the brief official announcement that on the 20th of November, at a consis- tory, the pope had created the delegate a cardinal, Cardinal Satollits Address. Mgr. Satolli acknowledged the honor In an eloquent address in Latin. He thanked the marquis for the office he had performed, and expressed the deepest feeling of grati- tude for the manifestation of personal re- gard and fatherly love which the pope had shown him. Concluding his address, the newly-made cardinal said: “Now I can feel that my labors in that field have been successful, and I see my richest reward in this very country where it has rejoiced my heart to find that those men who were my pupils and listened to my teachings stand in the foremost ranks of the clergy—an honor to the church and a pride of the republic. When I came to this coun- try the difficulties which confronted me were such as might have easily discouraged the most hopeful of men. No one can know the obstacles I have found in my way. But when at times I had almost lost my courage and felt that success was scarcely possible, I was strengthened by that same kindly voice, and was assisted by that same help- ing hand, and went on knowing that all I did was done with the right intention, and in the faithful fulfillment of the minutest orders and desires of Leo XIII. “It therefore cannot fail to be a matter of supreme gratification to me that the pope has seen fit to put his approval on the work which has been done in the estab- lishment cf the apostolic delegation in the United States by raising the first apostolic delegate to the dignity of the cardinalate. “This gratification is increased that the honor which the holy father has deigned to confer on me is made the subject of re- joiciug to the whole of the people of this great republic, irrespective of religious be- liefs. Manifestations of this general re- joicing have not ceased to pour in upon me since the first day it was known in this country that Leo XIII intended to make me a@ cardinal. “You, Marquis Sacrapanti, have made a long voyege to bring me this official com- muricaticn, You have come from the old world to the new, and it gives me sincere pleasure to welcome you here. You will tind, as I have found, that the American people are second to none in their gener- ous hospitality. You will be received by the same touching kindness by which I, when I came here a stranger, was received. You will find much to admire and wonder at in this great country; much that to you, com- ing from the old world, will be new and marvelous. am certain, however, that you will ad- nothing more than the wonderful »irit of union and brotherly love which prevails in this great republic. You will see a pecple scattered over an enormous extent of territory, with an infinite variety of tastes and desires, and of material inter- ests, but all united in the one great pur- pose of the maintenance of the constitu- tional unity and liberty. You have arrived at a particularly interesting moment in this country—at a moment when a spark has been sent throughout the length and breadth of the states which calls the ut- tention of all its citizens to a danger which is thought to menace it, and what- ever may have been up to today the divid- irg interests of this great people, a new anifestation of the patriotic spirit has sponded at once to this impulse, and in reply thrcughgmt the country but one voice is heard, proclaiming that if real danger does threaten, all are, and will be, united for the common welfare of the nation.” The new cardinal then took the new zuchetto and placed {t on his head, this concluding the ceremony. Later the car- dinal, the marquis and the guests sat down at a handsome banquet served in their honor. On January 5 the berretta will be con- ferred on Mer. Satolli by Cardinal G bons at Baltimore, which will be the last act of making him a cardinal. He will, however, have to go to Rome in order to receive the cardinal’s hat. As a cardinal cannot b+ a delegate, the office he has oc- cupied as archbishop, Mgr. Satolli is now e.

He is a noble guard, a member of that body of Italian noblemen who volun- teered their services as a guard of honor to the pope. ‘They act in that capacity on all occasions of state, and make a most imposing appearance in their gorgeous uniforms. The marquis is quite a young man, probably less than thirty-five years of age, and a man of fine addr During his stay in this city he will be the guest of Cardinal Satolll. —— A LABOR TROUBLE COMPROMISED. mire Union and Non-Union Carpenters Working at Convention Hall. A labor trovble was threatened Wednes- day afternoon at Convention Hall, which 1s being converted into a skating rink. ome time past a large force of ear- penters has been at work there, and every thing progressed satisfactorily until the dis- covery was made in the morning that part of the fore were urion men while the rest were not. Under the rules of D, A. 66, K. of L., and the Federation of Labor {t would have been nec when this state of af- fuirs was ascertained for the union men to insist that the non-union be discharged and their places filled by unfon men. A little investigation revealed that there are no union carpenters in the city out of employment, and while the company, was slated, was willing to have all union mien, it was impossible to procure them. A compromise was effected, by which two gangs of non-union men of twenty each will work from 4 p.m. until 8 a.m., each gang taking eight hours. The unlon gang, also numbering twenty,will labor from 8 a.m. un- til 4 p.m. Both unfon and non-union car- per.ters oa the Job are receiving the same pay, $2.Su per day. iii Sale of Antique Furniture, China, solid , etc, at Sloan's, 1407 G street northwest, tomorrow at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. Closing sale Monday at same hours. —Advertisement. FEW APPLICATIONS. Warm Weather Prevents Suffering Among the Poor. ‘The continued pleasant weather is keep- ing down the number of requests for as- sistance, although the polize are being asked every day to relieve a few families. On ac- count of the small amount of money to the credit of the poor fund the police will not be able to do much fn the direction of furn- ishing Christmas turkeys to those who are unable to buy the fowls for themselves. In cases of worthy poor, however, some assistance will be given. There are already on the list a number of cases in which fam- lilies will probably have to be assisted all the winter. In some there are widows, with a number of children, while there are some deserted families or the head of the family has been sent to prison for a long period. Speaking of the charity at this season of the year, a policeman said he thought that in many of the shanties in the suburbs, as well as in the alleys and by-ways, men- tioned in the report, there are many persons who are unable to provide any of the Christ- mas luxuries for their children. “It seems hard,” he said, “that these poor children should have to go without some little reminder of the holidays, while their playmates or little acquaintances will have plenty, and some friends have adopted a scheme which is carried out by the citizens generally, will, I think, cause more enjoy- ment than any otter plan. The plan ts for each family that is able to spare from fifty cents to one dollar to make some little pur- chases and fix up a bundle. This can be done for the small amount mentioned, and each bundle will brighten a home and bring happiness to both parents and children. The cost is very small, and certainly the outlay could not ve better invested.” ADIE COMING. The Chief Executive Officer of Salvation Army. Colonel Eadie, the chief secretary of the Salvation Army of the United States, and second in command to Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth, comes from headquarters in New York to make his first visit to Wash- ington at the end of this week, and will také charge of the regular meetings at Salvation Army Hali Saturday night and Sunday morning and the special meetings at Masonic Temple, th and F streets, Sunday afternoon and evening.

All of these will take part in the meetings, to- gether with Adjutant Isabel Wood and Cap- tain Eva Dunlap, who are in charge of the Washington corps, making the most inter- esting array of Salvation Army officers seen here since Gen, William Booth’s visit a year ago. This will be Colonel Eadie's first visit to Washington, and he will be warmly wel- comed by the Salvationists and by the mem- bers of the Auxiliary League. Colonel Eadie is, like most Salvation Army oflicers, com- paratively young. He is an eloquent speak- er, and bas conducted large meetings in different parts of the world.

He was messenger to Jeff Davis when that gentleman was Sec- retary of War, and subsequently he served under Secretary Stanton in the same ca- pacity. It is related of him that he then saved $80,000 in greenbacks in the hands of army paymasters. According to the story, he had been ordered to accompany a p: master to the federal army in the valley of Virginia, and as the clerk of the paymaster he was given the money in a satchel. Mos- by’s men held up the train, which was on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The pay- master was in uniform and was taken by the confederates and sent to Richmond. Mr. Cadman was in citizen's clothes, and, like all other passengers who did not wear the livery of the federal army, he was passed by. He delivered the money, the army was paid off, and he reported to Secretary Stan- ton, who complimented him upon his strategy. At the time of his death Mr. Cadman held a clerkship in thé surgeon general's office, to which he had been appointed about twenty years before. He leaves a wife, four daugh- ters and a son. Mr. E. P. Duffy of the Sun staff in Baltimore is his son-in-law. He was a member of Dawson Lodge of Masons and St. George's Society of this city. —_._—_. New Austro-Hungarian Legation.

Developments Today in the Suit Against Marshall Cushing. Marshall Cushing, editor of the Capital, whose arrest on a charge of criminal libel was mentioned in yesterday's Star, gave his personal bonds for his appearance in court this morning, and was not held in custody last night. This morning Captain Thomes H. McKee, the defeated candi- date for the House clerkship, who swore out the warrant, was in the Police Court to prosecute the case. Captain McKee succeeded Marshall Cushing in the editor- ship of republican literature for the con- gressional committee 1sv2, and when Ci ain the clerkship libel was printed. The article which is quite lengthy and contains an attack both on the public and private life of the complainant, is set out in the war- rant. When the case was called in Judge Mil- ler’s court this morning he was repre- sented by Lawyer Philip McHenry.

The repert of General Manager Fenton of the herdic line, after it had been dis- cussed at “length, was unanimously adopted. e It was stated that although the new equipment was only placed in service yes- terday, the outlook for success is bright, the low fare—3 cents—which is charged having already proven popular. It was un- derstood that as soon as arrangements can be made, tickets at the rate of nine for 25 cents will be placed on sale. Some com- plaints, it was stated, were made by per- sons who desire to patronize the new line that the herdics do not run after 7 o'clock at night, but this, it is understood, is un- avoidable until the managers secure more horses, which will be done at the earliest opportunity. The subject of the dispute which has been taken to the courts between Yost Bros, and Albert N. Carry, in reference to the building of a large barn for Mr. Carry near Suitland, Md., was brought to the at- tention of Carpenters’ Council at its meet- ing last night, but that body decided to take no action in the matter until after Judge Bingham has rendered his decision on the points at issue. ; The special committee appointed to visit Bishop Hurst in reference to the employ- ment of union men on the American Uni- versity submitted a report, stating that they had every reason to believe that their request will be granted by the building committee, who will have the entire su- pervision of the construction of the new building. The Employes’ Beneficial Association of the Eckington and Scldiers’ Home and Belt railway companies will have an enter- tamment tonight at the National Rifles’ armory. The election of officers for the Street Railway Assembly, K. of L., will take place at the meeting tomorrow, It is understood that Master Workman Lawrence will be re-elected without opposition, unless he should determine that he does not wish to serve longer as the head of the organiza- tion. ———— to Ballimore ‘and Return via Pennsylvania Railroad.
