ror-stricken Lapponni through with it?" The people in the basilica had in the meantime \become impatient, and when the gleaming cross which preceded the proces- on was seen It was greeted with ap- plause. On the appearance of the pontift himself it seemed as though the people would like to carry him in thelr arms, so great was thelr enthusiasm. Cries of “Plus, our pope and father,’ and “Long live Plus X,” were raised, notwithstand-, ing the largh placards distributed all about sayin ‘Acclamations are forbidden. Leafleta to the same effect were distribut- ed among the crowd. The cries continued until the pontift was compelled to rise and bless the muititude, and at the samg time he made a sign for more reverential be- havior. 8lence was obtained when the choir an- nounced ite entrance with the resounding notes of “Bece saccerdos magnus,” which were accompanied by the sweet notes of the siiver trumpets Burrounding Pope Pius were the noble guard in new red uniforms and gleaming heimets, carrying drawn swords, while in front marched the cardinals, a gorgeous bit of color, with many handsome faces among them, the cardinal bishops in their robes, the cardinal priests wearing chausables and the cardinal deacons In their dematics. giance, “ghall to Dr to go whispering I ever be able Chaplain Bears Crown. Another figure which evoked mumurs of admiration and craning of necks, was the chaplain In his crimson robe, protidly bear- ing the cushion on which reposed the fam- ous triple crown. He was accompanied by the pontificlal jeweler and a special de- tachment of Swiss guards, and was fol- lowed by the choir of the Sistine chapel, which sang as it went along. Before leaving the vatican the pope went to the Sistine chapel to worship before the sacrament exposed therein, thence passing through the Sala Regia and the Constantine stalrcase Into the portico of the basilica. He there seated himself on & throne erected directly before the holy door and surrounded with wmeats for the members of the sacred college, the chapter of St. Peter's and the papal court. At the right of the throne stood Prince Orsinl, the assistant to the papal throne, who withdrew his recent resignation in order to participate at the function. Im- medlately beside the pope were the major domo, Mgr. Caglano: the master of the chamber, Mgr. Bisletl; the master of cere- monfes, Mgr. Riggl, and Dr. Lapponni. The pontiff was exceedingly pale, but composed. The low celling sent back an exquisite echo of the “Tu est Petrus,” sung by the Sistine choir, whose volces were heard outside in the plazza of St. Peter's. Cardinal Rampolla advanced with dignity, knelt and kissed the pontiff's foot. Then he presented in a firm volice the wishes and greetings of the chapter of St. Peter's, say- ing: “I offer an act of obedlence to your holiness and wish you a prosperous and glorious pontificate.” The cardinal recalled that the bodies of the first pope and of St. Paul rested In the bisilica, which he sald was a good augury for the work of the new pope of the Cath- olic ehurch. The pontift was visibly touched, and, an- swering in a trembling volce, warmly thanked the chapter for their good wishes. Symbolical Ceremony Complete. A quaint ceremony was then carried out. ‘The master of the ceremonies knelt three times before the pontiff, each time lighting & handful of hemp which surmounted a sllver torch and as the flame flashed and then died out he chanted: “Holy father, thus passes away the glory of tie world.” The procession then proceeded, the pope's face meanwhile {lluminated by a smile. At the chapel of the sacrament there was an- other halt, &nd his fioliness left the sedan chair and prayed at the altar. v “ On again entering lhq'&:l‘r he was car- ried to the chapel of | ¢gory, where he officlated dt & mass, ¢ assisted by Car- @inals Macchi, Di Pletro, Segra and Van- nutelll. Then all the cardinals donned their sliver copes and white mantles and the pope was borne to the throne amid renewed acclamations and waving handker- chiefs, fans and hata. 3 ‘The scene presented on'his mounting the throne wi magnificent. The central figure was the venerable pontiff seated on the throne. Two lines of cardinals clad in silver and scarlet reached to the high altar with its burden of burning candles and sacred vessels, while around stood the papal guards, the pontifical court, monks and officlals. The cathedral wi flluminated with twinkling lights, while the marble columns and walls rendered the color scheme more vivid. Overhead was the most magnificent dome in the world. Rope and Palllum Bestowed. From the throne Plus X, surrounded by his sulte, walked to the nigh altar, stand- ing over the crypt of §t. Peter, into which meanwhile Cardinal Macchi descended to pray. The altar was surmounted by a baldacchino supported by four historic bronze pillars taken from the Parthenon. ‘The appearance of the pope in that elevated position called forth another burst of en- thusiasm. Then the pope blessed th and after saying the ‘Indulgentiam, maniple, a symbol of the cord with which Christ was bound on his capture, was placed with great ceremony on the pope's arm. At the same time prayers for the coronation were recited by Cardinals Van- nutelli, Mocenn!, Agliardl and Satolll. Returning from the erypt Cardinal Ma- chett! placed on the shoulders of the pope the pontificial palladum and attached it with the golden jewelled pins, saying: ‘Recelve this sacred palllum of the fullnese of the pontific Rgnor” of Almignty doathe ‘most i irgin Mary, His mother. the b tles, St. Peter and St. Paul, and the Roman church. Mass was then celebrated with great pomp and ceremony, the volce of the pope becoming firmer and more sonorous, untfl it was audible even in the furthermost corner of the immense church. Following this, Cardinal Macchet! performed the rite of incensing the pope, whom he sub- sequently kissed three times on the cheeks and chest, as did Cardinals Segna and Vannutelll. Cardinals Offer Ob: mee, On the pope's return to the throne the cardinals offered . their last obedience, kissing his bands and feet and recelving an embrace by him twice in turn. The bishops and archbishops kissed his foot and right knee. while the abbots kissed only his foot. The holy father then walked to the sbrine of St, Peter for the culmin: ing vites of the extremely fatiguing cere- mony. The whole sacred college gathered about him, singing Paleatrina's “Corona Aurea Buper Caut Ejus," while the cholr burst forth inta song. Cardinal Macchi then re- A Household Treasure JGORHAM SILVER POLISH Fucilitates the care of fine silver cited the pater noster, and offered the fol- lowing prayer: Omnipotent and ever eternal God, dig- nitary of the clergy, and author of sover- elgnty, grant Thy servant, frultfully to_govern Thy church & he, who' by Thy ciemency becomes and 18 crowned as father of kings and rector of all the faithful, through Thy wise disposi- tion may govern well. “Amen,” “rang out from all the corners of the cathedral, from the choir, the peo- ple, the clergy, and the patricians. Mitre d Crown Bestowed. Cardinal Deigan then presented the pon- Ufical mitre, and Senfor Cardinal Deacon Macchl placed on the white head the triple crown. At this moment the church was filled with the ringing of bells, the blow- Ing of silver trumpets, the triumphant strains of the, choir, and the acclamations of the multitude, which could no longer be repressed. When comparative silence had been re- stored Cardinal Macchi addresses the pope in Latin, as follows: Recelve the tlara ornamented with three Remember, thou art the father of princes and kings, the rector of the world, the vicar on earth of our Savior Jesus Christ, who | sthe honor and the glory of all centuries. “Amen,” agaln burst forth from the chorus. | Pope Plus was almost overcome, and had scarcely strength left to impart the apos- tolic benediction. Cardinals Macchi and Begna granted a plenary Indulgence to all present, and the procession then re-formed afld left the basilica in the same form as it eame, . The pope wak visibly fatigued, and his right hand shook as he raised it time after time to bestow his blessing. When the ceremony was over all the exits to the basilica were opened, and within less than an hour the vast cathedral was empty. Cardinal Gibbons, after participating in the coronation ceremonies, started for the villa of the American college at Castle Galdolfo, accompanied by Mgr. Kennedy, rector of the ocollege. The cardinal will spend a few days resting. Strong as Plus X s physically, he sup- ported the ordeal today with perhaps less fortitude than Leo XIII did when he was crowned; although Leo was merely a shadow of a man, he possessed a will nothing could break. This evening, when tion, today was the most tremendous ex- perience of my life. I must find & way to stop the noise in the church. It is an of- fense against religion.” No Accldents Oceur. Although there was a tremendous crowd at Bt. Peter's today, not a mingle untow- ard incident occurred, and the perfect or- der 1s attributed to the good organization of the military and the police. Premier Zanardelli, although not well, remained in Rome purposely to direct the policy of the government. He left im- mediately after the coronation, saying: “Rome and Italy have given proof to the world of the freedom of the church.” The officers of the Vatican refused diplo- matists accredited to the Quirinal any fa- cllities for attending the coronation. Nev- ertheless, some of them were there as pri- vate individuals, through the courtesy of thelr colleagues of the French embassy to the Vatican Besides Cardinal Gibbons there were present at the ceremony today Mgr. Ken- nedy and. the entire American college par- ty, the archbishop of Manila, Mgr. O'Con- nell, rector of Washington university, and Very Rev. Charles P. Grannan of the same institution; Father Wall and Father John F. Burke of New York; Father B. W, Fowler of Sioux City, Ia, and Father Thomas B. Donovan of Montgomery, Ala. The only member of the pope's family present was his nephew, Parolin, who is a parish priest. Tonight all the churches and religious institutions and many private houses are illuminated in honor of the occasion. The pontift was so fatigued by the eceremony that the meeting of the consistory, which was to be held tomorrow, has been post- poned. PRESIDENT READS FAKE ATTACK Lear from Papers that He Pre- vented OMildren's Outing on White House Gr: OYSTER BAY, Au —President Raose- velt passed the day quietly at Bagamore Hill with Baron von Sternberg and mem- bers of his family. Mrs. Roosevelt and the children attended services at Christ church in the morning. The president read in the newspapers today that he had prevented several hun- dred children from having an outing in the ‘White House grounds at Washingten, be- cause the color line had been dfawn by the managers of the affair. It was sald an appeal had been made to him to, with- draw his objections to the use of the grounds for the plenic, but he had paid no attention to it. As a matter of fact, the president knows nothing of the affalr, ex- cept what he has read In today's news- papers, and had not heard of it before. As a matter of custom the White House grounds are not opeéned for children's out- ings except on Easter Monday, when the egg rolling usually occurs. If an appll- cation were made at any other time it would be a mattér of routine which would probably not reaéh the president in any event. It did not reach him in this case. It is understood the president may soon appoint Charles McClelland, a senator of the Twenty-second New York district, to a position on the board of general ap- pralsers. Under the law the appointee must be a democrat. Senator McClelland has influential support for the appointment. HOLD ALLEBEP_ DYNAMITERS Police Arrest Two Accused Blowing Up Raliroad Bridges.

Seek Safety for Chriw A Macedonian committeeman thus ex- plained the rising: We are trying to win reform which will assure to the Christlan population of Mace- donia security for their lfves and property and the rl,hl to participate in the admin- Istration of the country. The present revolutionary organization cAme into existence nine years ago when ths persecution of the Bulgarian pgpula- tion of Bulgaria became flagrant. oday all Macedonia is embraced In the move- ment and, although it was not intended to strike 80 soon, because the preparations were not suffclently completed, the recent outrages of the Turks, the massacres of the innocent, the filling of the prisons with the peaceful rural population and the extorting of heavy fines from others under various pretexts ‘so exasperated all that the insurrection was declded on, no matter what might be the outcoma. e fighting area is widening and will gradually embrace every village in Mac lonia until the autonomy of the country has been galned by force of arms or by the intervention of those great powers which desire peace. Not untll then will we lay down our arms. The Macedonian revolutionary committee is now drawing up and Wwill shortly cir- culate @ declaration addressed to the powers, explaining Macedonlan grievances and the objects of the revolution.

Orders here have been telegraphed to the frontier authorities to redouble their vigil- ance and prevent all unauthorized individ- uals and insurgent bands from crossing the Turkish frontler. The forelgn minister has informed the representatives of the powers that the government will use its utmost endeavors to quell all unrest in Bulgaria occasioned by the events in Macedonia, but the powers must do thelr part and take the ‘necessary steps to Induce the ports to stop the per- secution of the innocent and the employ- ment of Bashi Bazouks In suppressing the revolution. ‘“The massacres likely to follow it, the Bashi Bagouks, are turned loose,” added the minister, “are llable to precipitate a movement in Bulgaria in favor of the rev- olution, and thus force the hand of the government.” Say Rebels Murder Women.

It is supposed the eituation In the Bdlkans was under discussion.. The emperor will return here on Wednesday.

THe correspondent says that statutes of the revolutionary committee forbid the rev- olutionists to touch peaceful Mohamme- dans of either sex, and therefore the r port emanating from the Turkish govern- ment that they kilied Mohammedan women and children in the Kastorla district are untrue.
