Pope to succeed Leo XIII, and Sarto now reigns at the Vatican and over the Catholic world as Pius X. To-night all Rome is illuminated in his honor. His election and the assumption of his holy office were marked by a striking window of St. Peter's, the conclave was not formally dissolved until 5:30 o'clock this afternoon. The Cardinals then re- turned to their various apartments In Rome, with the exception of Cardinals Rampolla and Oreglia, who temporarily retain their official suites in the' Vatican, and Cardinal Herrero y Espinosa, who is too {1l to be moved for several days. It was to the sick Cardinal that the new Pope pald his first visit after being for- mally proclaimed Pontiff.

To-morrow the new Pope, clad In his full Pontifical robes and with all the ritualistic ceremony, will receive the members of the diplomatic corps, the Cardinals and the Bishops, who will then offer their official homage, this notwith- standing the fact that twice to-day the Cardinals and many high officlals of the Vatican went through a similar cere- mony. The date on which the coronation of Plus X will take place lias not yet been decided, but the impression prevails that it will be August 9.

After Monday’s ballotd it was a foregone con- clusion that he was the only candidate sufficiently acceptable to all to secure the necessary two-thirds that the laws of the church require. One of the Cardinals said to-night that he believed Ptus X would follow the broad lines of Leo's policy, although he prob- ably would.not accentuate it. This voices the general féeling here, which 18 one of satisfaction. The new Pontiff is a man of simple ori- gin and, although not a prominent candi- date, he had been frequently mentioned as one of the many Cardinals who ‘might be taken up as‘a compromise.

Having been assoclated with no factions, this fact alone won him much favor from foreign Cardinals who were without a special candidate. Pius X was humorously described as a ‘“‘country mouse who could not possibly find his way about Rome.”: - Venetians, who know the new Pope ‘well, that he will soon be as much beloved as Pontiff as he was yesterday as the patriarch of the poor of the Adrl- atic. In appearance Pius X is a handsome man. He has a fine, erect figure despite his 68 years, his face greatly resembling that of the late Phillips Brooks of Boston.

OME, Aug. 4—I am informed 6n the best authority that Pope Plus X will request Cardinal Rampolla to resume the office Of secretary of state, as Car- dinal Rampolla contributed more to his electibn than any other mem- ber of the conclave. It is probable, though, that Cardinal Rampolla will abide by his resolution to retire perma- nently from the arduous secretaryship of state and In this event the new secretary will likely be Cardinal Ferrata, who was Pope Leo’s nuncio in Paris during the most_striking developments of the late Pontiff’s policy toward France and who subséquently passed some time in Vienna. There is also some talk of Cardinal Vin- cenzo Vannutelll for the post. There is thuch specufltion regarding the political attitude of the new Pope, inas- much as he has not participated in the general affairs of the church during his carcer. The general opinion, however, is that he will make no change in the rela- tions between the Vatican and the Quir- inal, except, perhaps, to render them b WASHINGTON - MOB LYNCHES A MURDERER Slayer of a Child || Hanged to Tele- graph Pole.

I got off my horse, put my armic | about the girl and hugged and kissed her She asked me to let her alone, as she | wanted to go to Sunday school.

The Queen holds him almost as a friend. One of his first steps, certainly, will be to amelior- ate the relations between the Vatican and France ard to try to prevent a similar struggle against the congregations in Spain. He is not credited with being fa- vorable to Austria, as he still remembers how much his fatherland suffered under the domination of that country. Ptus X admires the progress of Cathol- icism in America and belleves the Unit- ed States is a fertile field for Catholicism. Pope Pius has confirmed in the post of master of the chamber Monsignor Bislets,’ who was so trusted by Pope Leo in that position, and has reappointed Dr. Lapponi | the papal doctor. v
