WORLDS CAPITALS HAIL WITH DEEP SATISFACTION CARDINAL SARTOS ELEVATION TO PETERS THRON BELOVED OF VENETIANS POLICY OF THE PONTIFF WILL BE CONSERVATIVE / Governments Expect No Change in Their Friendly Relations With the Vatican. ~ ARIS, Aug. 4—President Loubet and Foreign Minister Defcasse | this afternoon sent dispatches 01} congratulations to Plus X. TI step is regarded as giving defin- ite official expression to the feel- ing of satisfaction which the choice of | morning Sarto has caused in Government circles. | choice as a wise and excellent one, The foreign office had mot recetved ad- | vices from M. Nisard. the French BEm-| bassador to the Vatican, up to a late| hour this afternoon, but, relying on re-| ports from other sources, a notification was sent to M. Delcasse, Who is sojourn- | ing at a watering place in the interior | of France, and to President Loubet, who | Italy visited Venice last May and Sarto went in state in his gorgeous gondola to render them homage. It is deduced there- from that Pius X is likely to depart from Pope Leo's policy of rigorous confinement in the Vatican. LONDON, Aug. 5.—The papers this comment on the conclave's and say that, although the new Pope is less brilllant as a scholar than his predeces- sor, there will be ample compensation for this in his moderation and single mind- ednéss on the question ef the relations of the Vatican to England. Opinions, however differ. The Daily News says: We are at least preearved from questionable intrigues of a Rampolla who is not too friendly is @t the Chateau Mazeno, near Monteli- | to England. mar, which he recently purchased. Re-| plies from the President and the Foreign | Minister soon followed and were trans- mitted through the foreign office to Rome. | An official letter was received this| morning from Rome giving the prospects | of the various candidates. It placed Rampolla first and Sarto eighth. Between these two ranged BSerafino Vannutelll, Gotti, Agliardl, Di Pietro and Capecelatro. Aithough it is not known definitely how the French Cardinals voted on the final paliot, it is known that they, with the Spanish Cardinals, favored the selection | of one of those considered to be con: clljatory, which number included Sarto. A leading official of the foreign office | who recently visited Venice said that the cordiel relations between Sarto and Dow- ager Queen Margherita were particularly noted by him. The Queen bestowed many marke of favor, which he received with- out the slightest evidence of that tension | existing in other clerical quarters. Outside of Government quarters, Sar- to's election is favorably received. The ding €xponents of the clerical element point out his saintliness and declare that | his choice gives promise of a religious rather than a diplomatic Pope. The | rtio here advised of the election end paid a tribute to the lofty charac- ter of the new Pope. Public interest in the election was shown by the issue of tions of the papers, which de- porate articles to the new Pope. The rent ment is entirely fav- ozable to F e NS FRENCH WRITER'S VIEWS.

LONDON, Aug. 5—It is difficult to find in London afly member of the Catholic| church having personal knowledge of the new Pope, Pius X, or one who is willing | to give en opinion & to the Pontiff's pwobable policy. All, however, have high opinions &s to his merits, particularly as it is known that a few years ago Pope Leo favored Cardinal Sarto as his suc- cessor. The general belief is that Pius X will endeavor to increase the power of the church rather as a spiritual than a diplomatic organization, and that his feign will pave the way for better rela- tions between the Vatican and the Quir- 4nal. On this point, however, it is be- leved that & better idea can be formed then it is seen who the Pontiff chooses for papal secretary of state. If Cardinal Rampolia is retained it will be taken as an 1l omen. Father Gasquet, Abbot of the English " Bepedictines, in an interview said the English Catholics would welcome any medus vivendi with the Quirinal, because the existing state of things was bad for everybody. He thinks the present Pope is better able than any man who could have been chosen to bring about improv- ed conditions. News of the election of Cardinal Sarto as Pope reached England through an As- soclated Prees dispateh from New York. The information was communicated to the Catholic church authorities, and Mon- signor Johnson, who is in charge of church affairs here, pending the appoint- ment of a Successor to Cardinal Vaughan, sald I am giad the election i= over and the sus- pense ended. Cardinal Sarto is midway tween the older and younger element of the Sa cred College, §0 that he probably has many use- ful years to live. He is active and energetic. To the Catholics of London the election vas a great surprise. The London papers publish long and friendly reviews of the new Pope’s career. They generally believe | that the election augurs well for better relations between the Vatican and the Quirinal Stress is laid on Cardinal Sar- | satisfaction and even pleasure i to’s attitude when the King and Queen of ! pressed at the result of the concla: The Standard, on the other hand, fears that the new Pope sympathizes with and to & large extent will be guided by Ram- [ polla’s idess, but admits that if he is as tactful and conciliatory as his friends represent there is no need to apprehend | any violent reversal of policy. The Telegraph considers the choice of the title of Plus X as strange, when the character and career of the last bearer of the name of Pjus are remembered. bl GERMANS WELL PLEASED. | Foreign Office Ex—;l;lfll Satisfaction at the Result. BERLIN, Aug. 4—A dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Rome asserts that Cardinal Gibbons played the chief part in frustrating the election of *Cardinal Rampolla. The election of Cardinal Sarto was made known here at 1 o'clock this after- ncon through the newspapers, which were eagerly read. The Forelgn Office at that hour had no confirmation of the news, but regarded it as true, it having been learned that Cardinal Sarto had strongly increased his vote yesterday. Replylng to the question whether the election was acceptable to Germany, a representative of the Forelgn Office said: Unqualifiedly so, from an official viewpoint. Sarto is a mild mannered man and has never been active politically In other quarters it was remarked that Sarto was the only Italian Cardinal whom the King of Italy received. His repeated visits to the King and his aversion to pol- ities are regarded as an auspiclous sign for the triple alliance. Germany is also | fully satisfied that Sarto does not aspire to the restoration of the temporal power of the papacy. The officials believe that the German Emperor will He well pleased with the election peror received Sarto In audience while g the King of Italy. All sections of the press regard the election of Cardinal Sarto as wise, and hasize the beilef that he will be a religious, rather than a political, Pope. The Tageblatt fears that the selection of the name of Pius augurs ill for the new Pope's attitude toward foreign gov- | e'nments, and indicates an intransigeant policy toward the Italian monarchy. The Post assumes that Sarto's previous moderate and peaceable character may be teken a guarantee that tHe coming policy the Vatican will be femperate and concillatol e — TRIBUTES OF PRELATES.

PAUL, Minn., Aug. 4.—Archbishop Ireland in speaking of the new Pope said: So far as known, Cardinal Sarto, now elected Pove, is a man of deep learning and recognized prudence of action. He enters into the pon- tificate free from all entangling alliances, free in every way to carve out for himself his own career CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—Archbishop Farley when informed of the election of Cardinal Sarto said: I am delighted that the conclave's choice has fallen on o acceptable a person as Cardinal Sarto. ' During Archbishop Farley’'s visit abroad a year ago Cardinal Sarto asked a great many questions about the church in America and seemed very much inter- ested in this country. CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—General satisfaction was manifested by the Chicago Catho- lics to-day over the selection of the new Pope. The most ardent champions of the idea of Americanism in the church agree that the choice was a wise one. Archbishop Quigley, who is a personal friend of Pius X, directed that services of thanksgiving be held in every church to-night. of e ITALIAN PRESS COMMENT.

Tears rolled down his cheeks and he seemed firm in his determination to refuse the dignity.

PETER TO PIUS X Ecclesiastical Records of Vatican Alone . Reveal Church History of Earlier Centuries. T HE history of the Papacy in the earlier centuries of the church is preserved altogether in the ecclesiasti- cal records of the Vatican, and there are no secular authorities on the subject. For many - years contended by certain Biblical scholars that St. Peter’s visit to Rome was largely legendary, but more re- it was cently the best authorities are at one in the opinion that the visit is perfectly historical, and that Peter died at Rome in much the same way as the legends recite. Counting St. Peter as the first Pope, or rather as the first Bishop of Rome, there have been, from Peter to Pius X inclusive, 264 sovereign Pontiffs of Rome, the reigns of whom vary in length from a few days to the long and glorious reigns of men like Gregory XVI, Pius IX and Leo XIII. A comparatively small number of the Popes have been canonized, and these are chiefly the earlier ones. No saint has sat on the throne of Peter since 1366, when Pius V ruled. The question of canoniz- ing the late Pope Pius IX has been long discussed, but although the conditions seem favorable—in the way of extreme sanctity, with accompanying miracles and so on—it may be centuries before the church will take positive action. The following is a complete list of all the Popes of Rome from Peter to Pius X. The months and years given here will be found to be inconsistent with accepted dates, but, the difference is due solely to the variation in the calendar.

He seemed happy but broken down even after all the other candidates had re- tired and on the final ballot he looked a statue of resfgnation. Cardinal Casseta, as scrutineer, was reading out the vote. When forty-two votes had been recorded for the patriarch of Venice the scrutineer arose and lifted his red zucchetto, saying: “We have elected a Pontiff.” . But from many sides Cardinals cried out: “Continue.” As the vote approached fifty, however, the Cardinals, as of one accord, surrounded the new Pontiff, and, according to tradition, demanded to know if he would accept the Pontificate. Cardinal Sarto's lips trembled so that he could hardly articulate, but after a visible effort he said: “If this cup cannot pass from me—" - There he paused, but the Cardinals around him insisted that it was necessary for him to answer ‘‘yes” or 'no, Thereupon he replied firmly, “Yes.” Cardinal Gibbons, speaking to a rep- resentative of the press, said that the election of Cardinal Sarto had produced the best Impression in the entire Sacred College, pecause, being a man of such plety, tact and culture, he was best fitted 10 be the head of the church at the pres- ent time. - Cardinal Gibbons hcpes that the coronation of Plux X will take place soon, so that the forelgn Cardinals may be able to asgist. Others believe that the coronation may be postponed for three months, to & more propitious time. ———— INCIDENTS OF CONCLAVE. Cardinal Describes His Daily Life During the Seclusion.

The perfect rest was a treat. We had good food and the arrangements for looking after so many persons could not have been better. After mass every morning we entered the Sistine Chapel and transacted our business. I can understand that those outside grew impatient, but I scarcely think we could have been expected to decide so welghty & matter by such a lengthy method of procedure within a shorter time.

Speaking personally of Pius X he frankly confessed that he had scarcely heard of him before he entered the con- clave except to write to him the Chist- mas greetings usual between Cardinals. He continued: 3 He seems, however, to have a charmin per- sonality and e OF mont Of (h Thembars ot the Sacred College, who, being residents of Italy and- thereabou: are fully able to judge, I am told he {s de- voted to Venice and has frequently said that he could never be happy elsewhere.

Regarding the veto power supposed to be vested in Austria, Spain and Italy, this Cardinal said that no attempt had been made to exercise such a power and that the Sacred College was greatly divided as to the continuance of that tradition. A Yenetian might be objectionable to Aus- tria, but, the Cardinal sald, he fafled to see why that should be so because the ancient enmity between Venice and Aus- tria was confined to a small section of the Italian people. Besides, Austria was Italy’s ally and there should be no mis- glvings regarding the future -course of Pius X, who had kept himself utterly out of politics and, so far as this Cardinal could learn, had not identified himself with any particular movement, political or otherwise. The new Pope is one of eight children— two sons and six daughters. One of his sisters is a dressmaker, another is mar- ried to acristan, a third is married to a wine shop keeper and the others are unmarried. The new Pope is the seventh Who has come from the region of Venice. Among the Venetian Popes was Benedict XII, who by a coincidence was elected exactly 569 years ago to-day. Ry i CONFUSION IN CHAPEL. Conclavists Rush to Pay Homage to the New Pontiff. ROME, Aug. 4—The election of Plus X, once it was consummated, was proclaimed in a loud voice by the Cardinal scrutineers to the Sacred College. Monseigneur Mer- ry Gel Val, Secretary of the Conclave, and Prince Chigi, Marshal of the Conclave, ‘were notified through a bell by Cardinal Clrd[n‘ali’to“ddflm Oreglia. They entered the Sistine Ch: amid visible excitement, the eager faces of the conclavists and prelates being seen crowding about the door. It is impossible to describe the fonfu- slon in"the chapel. The friends and sup- porters of the new Pope gathered around him, complimenting and congratulating, crying “Viva!” and even clapping their hands without ceremony. They appeared to be unable to contain their joy. “Sarto,” ‘“Sarto,” ran from mouth to mouth, penetrating to the farthest cor- ners of the Vatican precincts. All scur- ried toward the Sistine Chapel to see the new Pontiff and pay their homage and to have the honor to be among the first to kiss his hand. After the election, even when the exciement began to calm down, none seemed to know what to do, it be- ing to all, except Cardinal Oreglia, a new ceremonial. Cardinal Oreglia, as dean of the Cardi- nal bishops, called Cardinals Netto and Maccehi, the deans respectively of the Car- | dinal priests and Cardinal deacons. They approached the new Pontiff, saying in Latin, distinctively but In a shaking volce: “Do you accept your election according to the canonical law as supreme Pon- e The moment was one of extreme tension of feeling. There was a perceptible pause before Pius X found, and controlled his voice. Then he’answered simply: “Yes.” The Cardinals thereupon removed their baldachinos, so that of Sarto was the only one remaining. thus marking him as their supreme head. The passing supremacy of the Cardinals wag gone, and was soon concentrated in one person, bl o g AMERICA TO BE GAINER. Archbishops Farley and Ireland May Be Created Cardinals. NEW YORK, Aug, 4,—The World has the following from Rome: One of the first Cardinals Pius X will appoint will be Mgr.

Archbishop Farley of New York, who enjoys his personal acquaintance and has visited him in Venice, and possibly Arch- bishop Ireland of St. Paul will be ele- vated to'the cardinalate before next De- cember, eccording to a pledge given in the cenclave to increase the representa- tlon of foreign countries in the Sacred College.

IS SUCCESSOR OF LE “He Has No Harm on His Tongue or Pen, " Say the People of Their Patriarch. ——— IUS X, the former patriarch of Venice, whom the hands of his confreres of the Sacred College have raised to the supreme dig- nity and spiritual rulership of the Roman Catholic world, is the same age as was the late lamented Leo XIII when he was chosen to sit in the seat of St. Peter. He has just turned his sixty-eighth year, having been born at Riese, In the diccese of Treviso, in the north of Italy, June 2, 1835. Plus X first studled at a seminary at Treviso, continued his education at Pa- dua, the seat of one of the great universi- tles of the world, and finished at the Sacra Theologla at Rdme. He was consecrated as priest In 1858, being in his twenty-third year, at Castel !‘nncq, the birthplace of the great mas- ter, Georgione. For nine years following ho was just a plain parish priest. His first cure was at Tombolo, a village in the province of Padua, of some 3000 people. These were the first to appreci- ate his virtues. His kindness was untir- irg. He sought to fill the wants of his flock and never a murmur was heard when he was called in the middle of a ‘winter night to a deathbed which proved to be nothing of the kind. He gave freely of his very small means, until he often went without meals himself, but he kept many a poor family from starvation. In 1567 he was appointed parish priest at Salzano, which was considered an im- portant promotion, being a village of 3341 souls. Still, he was exceedingly sorry to leave Tombolo, having become attached to the people. The peasants, when he left, made a most enthusiastic demonstration, crying “Viva Don Giuseppe,” while many women whose children he had nursed wept coplously. He distinguished himself 80 much at Salzano that he was kept there only two years, which is remarka- ble in the career of an Italian parish priest.” His talents attracted the atten- tion of the Bishop of Treviso, who ap- pointed him canon of the cathedral of that diocesan city. / In 1875 he was elected chancellor of the bishopric of Treviso, then spiritual direc- tor of that seminary, judge of the ecclesi- astical tribunal, and finally viecar general. HIS PIETY APPRECIATED. Greater preferment awaited him, how- ever. Pope Leo, who had highly appre- ciated his cleverness, piety and modesty, | appointed him in November, 1584, at the age of 49 years, Bishop of Mantua, where he remained until he was elected to the patriarchate of Venice. Venice alone of all the important cities of Italy has only patriarchal rank, whils many smaller cities are archiepiscopal seats. The acceptance of the more hum- ble office, however, cost him but a little patience, for on June 12, 1893, after some two years' service as patriarch, he was created and proclaimed Cardinal. He has for his titular church iIn Rome St. Bar- nardo, His preferment to the Venetian patri- archate was the solution of a very trou- blesome question. The Itallan Govern- ment maintained that the presentation of the candidate for the office was one of ‘the prerogatives of the King as heir to the .ancient privileges granted by the Pope to the republic of Venice. Sarto’s selection ended the contention, for though chosen by the Pope he was a great fa- | vorite with King Humbert himself and entirely acceptable to his Ministers. So the exaquatur, which had been long with- held, was granted to him. The Italian | Cabinet had no feeling against Sarto per- sonally. In. faet, 'he might quite well hLave been their choice if the papacy had not wished him, but it was a political question on which, however, they soon gave way. In Venice he distinguished himself as a thorough reformer, suppressing all abuses, restoring the dignity of the cler- 8y and the earnestness of religion. To him 1s due the revival of a Gregorian cbant in the beautiful churches overlook- ing the lagoons, and to him is due the strict lturgic rules. IDOL OF THE VENETIANS. Sarto became the idol of the Venetians. When bis gondola went through the canals the people rushed on the bridges and along the sides of the canals, kneel- ing and saluting, the women exclalming: “God bless the patriarch.” He used then to say that he dfd not like to go out of sight of the Mons of St. Mark, which now he will never see again, if, as is almast sure, he follows the rule inaugurated by his two predecessors, never to leave the Vatican, In a few cases in which he ca to Rome, on returning when asked if he en- joyed the gorgeousness of the Papal court and the magnificence of the functions, Sarto answered: “When I am there I feel like a fish out of water.” The relations of Sarto with the House of Savoy are well illustrated by what occurred two months ago, when the King of Italy went to Venice to open the in- ternational art exhibition. King Victor Emmanuel gave orders that the patri- arch be given precedence over all the local authorities, but Sarto, having ar- rived while the King was speaking to the prefect, who is the highest Government official in the province, refused to be announced, and said he would not disturb his Majesty. He has very modest tastes, having re- tained almost the same habits as when he was a mere curate at Salzano. He was severe but just with his clergy, There is nothing he dislikes so much as pub- lcity, detesting the praise and compli- ments of courtiers. Frankness is another of his prineipal qualities, although he is somewhat timid. As the Italians say, he has no harm on his tongue or pen. Even so, Plus X often wrote truths which were perhaps un- pleasant. FAVORITE OF THE KING. He remained in an ante-chamber, affa- bly conversing with the generals and ad- mirals athered there. When the King learned cf his presence he came to re- ceive him on the threshold of the cham- ber and kept him in conversation and | had him accompany him afterward in a gondola, while all the soldiers and guards rendered Sarto military honors. Naturally this does not mean that Sarto, once Pope, will fundamentally change the policy that the church has adopted to- ward the Vatican state, but certainly his persor:al feelings will be favorable to moderatién. “Sarto” in Itallan means “tailor,” and Pius X when a young seminarist, being rather elegant in his priestly robes, companionssused to joke, saying that he evidently knew the business. Advices from Riese, the birthplace of Pius X and a village of 4000 inhabitants, state that the Pope’s mother, now dead, when Iiving therein occupied a small peasant’s house, having in her humility always refused to live with her son Giu- seppe, as even his modest establishment was considered by her to be too luxur- fous in comvarison with what she was accustomed to. The elder brother of the Pcpe, Angelo_ lives In the village of Del- legrazie, province of Mantua, being the postman of the district and receiving 350 a vear for his services. He adds to his income by keeping a shop In which he sells tobacco and pork His two daughters are the belles of ¢ village, being known for miles around as the “handsome Sarto sisters.” When Plus X was Bishop of Mantua his brother Angelo used to often go thers for reasons connected with his postal s vice. The other clerks would ask him jokingly why his bragher did not find him a better position. Angelo, with stur- dy independence, answered that Re pre- ferred only to be what he could maks himself. Still, following papal precedents, the tobacconist and postman of Dellegra- zie should become a royal count. —_————————— Mormon Voices His Praise, SALT LAKE, Aug. 4—'The Roman Catholie church is to be congratulated upon the speedy election of a successor to the late Pope Leo XIIL" sald Presi- dent Joseph Smith of the Mormon church to-day. “Cardinal Samo has achieved en- viable fame as a model Bishop and in his office patriarch of Venice for ten years is reputed to have given evidence of wisdom, plety and good judgment.

PERRERE CHICAGO, Aug. 4—Trainmen and eon- ductors employed by the Chicago, Roek Isiand and Pacific have voted to strike unless the road pays the {ncreases in wages that they have demanded. Their determination will be made known to the officers of the rallroad company to-mor- row, when committees representing the Order of Rallway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Rallway Trainmen will wait on them. These committees will tell the officers of the company the result of the referen- dum vote that has been takem on the question of a strike and will ask the offi- cers to meet their demands. In case of a flat refusal the committee will then ad- journ to prepare for calling a strike of the 2000 trainmen and conductors em- ployed by the road. National officers of the two employes’ organizations are in Chicago to-night and are doing their best to prevent a strike. The dispute is over the new agreement presented by the conductors and trainmen early this year. This provided for an in- crease of 12% per cent in wages of the men in the passenger service and 15 per cent for those in the freight service. At the same time that the demands for in- creased wages were presented. the road was asked to approve of certain working rules. AP S Arbitration Board Is Appointed.
