Late last night Sheriff Bosquit received & telephonic message from Mr. Scott of the firm of Scott & Gilbert of San Frar eisco, who stated that a rough appearing | man, attired in ill-fitting clothes and minus a coat, appeared at the Planters’ Hotel at Shingle Springs, about twelv miles southwest of Placerville, at 7 o' clock last Monday evening and asked 10 _be rved a substantial meal Before Jeaving the dining-room he asked to have some food wrapped up for him, saying that he had a friend waiting in the hilis who was too 1l to walk to the hotel. The stranger stated that his companion and himself were on the way to the moun- tains to secure work. The visitor's appetite being appeased he walked to the counter and threw down a $5 piece and recelved the change and the package of food. During his stay at the hotel, which lasted about half an hour, he appeared somewhat nervous and | watched the movements of every person who entered the room. On leaving the dining-room he backed out of the door as if afraid some one might attempt to shoot him should he leave the room in the usual Thanner, face forward. Before leaving the premises he drew a bucketful of water from the well and carried it with him. No effort was made by the hotel people. to question the stranger and nothing was @ope to ascertain the direction in which e traveled after quitting the place. Sheriff Bosquit was not informed of the oceurrence until last night, when Mr. | | | icinity Scott called up his office after arriving in Placerville to learn the outcome of the stranger’s visit to the hotel at Shingle | Springs. IDENTIFY PHOTOGRAPH. Sheriff Bosquit dispatched his son \ Dallas, who is his chief deputy, to Shin- | gle Springs early this morning to investi- i gate the report. | The young man returned to Placerville | this afternoon. He stated that on his ar- yival at the Planters Hotel he obtained | the names of several people who had seen the stranger on Monday night, and | 1aking each person aside, he showed the | photographs of ailsthe escaped convicts. | Without hesitation the hotel people all | sdentified the picture of Case as the man | who had eaten the meal at the hotel and | who had purchased supper for an alleged rick companion. Miss Maria Craig, who cooked and | served the meal to the stranger, was positive in her identification, as was also George Graham and one or two others, including a young lad, who, attracted by the rough appearance of the stranger and excited by the stories of the escaped con- viets, plucked up courage enough to fol- low the man some distance from the hotel until, awed by the furtive glances of the stranger, he stopped and returned to the hotel. The youngster heard the man, since identified as Case, whistle and dis- | tinctly heard a whistied reply come from the vicinity of the cemetery, in which direction the stranger headed. Satisfying himself that he was on the right track young Bosquit proceeded to | the cemetery and there discovered tracks made by heavily nafled shoes. The large number of prints indicated that one or more persons had stopped at that point ing It Disappears. Tells of His Flight and of Suicide of Allison. T A ORGSR 1 Continued From Page 1, Columns 5 and 6. Roberts said the convicts traveled in a body until after the first fight at Pilot Hill. His account of that fight does not differ materially from published newspaper reports. He confirms the report that Allison ended his own life with a pistol shot after he had been shot through the body by the trailers. Soon after that fight Roberts and Howard separated from the main body of convicts. RETURNS TO FOLSOM TO GET A SUPPLY OF FOOD. Wednesday they went to a cabln, where they found a bottle of whisky and some flour. Roberts made scme biscuits and that was all the focd they had ex- cept fruit until they reached Folsom. They went back down the North Fork of the American River, crossing the bridge at Mormon Island. They passed near the main gate of the Folsom prison Saturday night and went into the town of Fol- som. They remained there long enough to get some food and left as soon as the moon went down, going in the direction of Roseville. Two miles out of Folsom they stopped and were in hiding all day Sunday. That night they went on to Sacramento. They remained in that city all day guard Monday and in the evening crossed over on the Yolo side, spending the night in the . bushes. Roberts told the officers that he left Howard Tuesday evening, but to The Call ative he stated that they quarreled and separated Monday morning. Howard wanted to go on th main streets of Sacramento and Roberts refused. Roberts says he obtained a good supply of food in Sacramento and Tuesday mght, left his camp, traveling along the railroad. EXPRESSES SORROW OVER DEATH OF GUARD COTTER. Roberts sald he left the road and went into the bushes at Davisville, where he was captured. He stated that it was his intention to board a San Francisco train to-night and ship on the first vessel to leave the harbor. He is confident that if he could have evaded the officers one day longer he would have made his escape. He professed to be sorry that Cotter and the two soldiers were killed and insisted that he did not know who killed them. When asked if he was not glad that his flight was over and that he was again fn custody he gave an em- phatic negative reply. He said he was sent to prison on the testimony of a de- serter; that he was innocent of the crime of which he was convicted, and that he had brooded over his wrongs until hs became desperate. A chance came for him to escape, he took it and lost. If he must hang for it, all right, a man has cnly one time to die. The officers think Roberts Is lylng about Howard and endeavor- ing to aid him in making his escape. All the officers are on the alert to-night and if he is in this county he is almost certain of capture. 'FORMER PRISONER GIVES DEPUTIES INFORMATION | Sacramento Officers Admit That an Ex-Convict| Aided Them to Effect Arrest of Roberts. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 5.—TIt was 11 o'clock to-night when Deputy Sheriffs Reese and Hinter returned here by .team with Convigt James P. Roberts securely ironed. An immense crowd, including many women, Waited at the Sacramento end of the Yolo bridge for the arrival of the prisoner, while an equally large number gath- °d at the jail. Roberts announced that he would not talk to the newspaper men 1d asked a deputy if he were compelled to do so. Being fold that he was at liberty to use his own judgment in the matter, he declined to make a statement s representatives here, although he talked freely with The Call repre- ative at Davisville. District Attorney Seymour followed Roberts to his cell and examined him at some length. puty Sheriff Reese when told of a rumor that the officers had followed an ex-convict named Newman to an opium den and through him got track of Roberts and Howard said that he knew nothing of the opium feature, but it was true that n ex-convict named Newman had given information to the officers that aided in pture. The Sheriff’s officers, as well as the police detectives, are of the bellef that Howard is in hiding in the Yolo County jungles, and at a late hour to-night a posse was still hunting for him there. When Roberts was taken this afternoon his first thought was to impress upon his captors the idea that he was not gullty of murder. It was an exhibition of the fef's instinct to provide an alibl. ““You can’t hold me for murder,” he said in ex- ultation. “‘Howard and I cleared away from the bunch before the fight at the Grand Victory mine, where the militiamen were killed. It's all up now I know, but I made a pretty good getaway, did 7 not? I have been tramping day and night all the time.” Distriet Attorney, Seymour said to-night-that he would certainly place a charge é st Roberts, and also against Howard If caught. All the conspira- tors are equally guilty of the death of Guard Willlam Cotter at Folsom prison, if not of the subsequent murders. Roberts will be kept in the tanks at the County Jail here until returned at an early date to Folsom prison. It is believed his re- urn will have a good moral effect on the convicts and it will be made as conspic- uous as possible. Not a few of the officers here express the belief that the body of Convict Allison should not have been buried at Pilot Hill, where he fell, but should have been returned to the prison for the sake of the effect of the spectacle upon the unruly prisoners. Sheriff Lowell and Haggerty returned at midnight from the search for Howard in Yolo County. They said that while they had information that Howard spent most ¥ in the brush near the river bridge he had escaped into the brush and as impossible in the dark to locate him. A farmer came into the Sheriff’s office to-night and reported he saw this afternoon Roberts and a man whom he described as Howard crossing his place in Yolo County soon after Roberts fell into the hands of the posse. The farmer declared Howard took off in the direction of Marysville. Acting upon this information Deputy Sheriffs Howell and Haggerty armed themselves and started after the fugitive. The credit of to-day’s important catch. the first of the exciting man hunt of the past week, belongs to the deputies of Sheriff Reese. composed of his son, ward Reese, and Deputies George Wittenbrock and Jack Hunter, aided by “onstable Hainline of Davisville. The deputies acted upon one of many rumors which were afloat last night, and that they selected one based on fact is evi- denced by the outcome. Last night two men were seen at a late hour emerging from Chinatown bareheaded and with rifles upon their shoulders. They were soon lost in the darkness that hangs over the river wharves and were not again seen. Roberts since his capture told the officers that he sent a man into China- town at Sacramento to get some opium and bring it to himself and Howard, but it is believed that they were so despera'ély in need of the drug that they took the risk of entering Chinatown in quest Of 1t, relying upon the laténess of the hour to prevent_detection. : 3 In a statement to-night Deputy Sheriff Reese said the convict who had brought information to his office concerning the fugitives this morning said he was afraid the other convicts would kill him. He has been in Sacramento orly a short time from Folsom and had started out to Vacaville to pick fruit, in company with an- other ex-convict. They had gone but a short distance on the Yolo trestle, when Roberts, whom the ex-convict named “gmiley,” accosted them. “Smiley,” according to the ex-convict’s story, drew a revolver and said he wanted the informant to go with him. Roberts took him over to Davisville, and this morning Roberts sent him to the drug store for opium. He got him the drug and went back and told Roberts that he (the ex-convict) had got a job in a livery stable and that he would like to 80 to work. So he left Roberts there and came over and told Reese. The ex-convict informed Reese that Roberts was lying in a brushy creek just beyond Davisville. It was at that point that the capture took place. Roberts on the way from Davisville to Sacramento told Deputy Sherift Reese that the convicts were forced to make their break at Folsom; that they were not treated impartially at the prison; that they were fed on rotten pota- toes and rotten stew. Roberts claimed that he left Howard at Sacramento after a quarrel aris- ing over the desire of Howard to go into town for opium in daylight. He claim- ed Howard was not with him in Yolo County. This story is not credited, as it is thought Roberts desires to protect Howard by concealing his whereabouts. One of the ex-convicts said Howard was on his way to Sissons. Roberts ad- mitted that it was Ris and Howard's tracks that Sheriff Reese had discovered near Ben Ali, on the rancho Del Paso. Roberts said Gordon left the band of escapes at the bridge at Mormon Isl and. He said he did not know anything about the battle at the Grand Victory mine except what he had read in the papers. @ -l b 5 for some time, walking around anxious GIVES GARDEN PARTY as If waiting for some one.

A well m‘;?:";’:";"“;‘h Aug. 6.—United defined trafl led Bosquit to Smith's place, nister ryan this afternoon | a mile north of the hotel, on the Tennes- |see Creek road, where the remains of food under a fig tree indicated that the men had stopped there while the lunch oblained at the hotel by Case was eaten, It is generally believed that one of Case’s companions, if he has more than one, is Beavis, the negro, and that Seavis did not accompany Case to the hotel because his color and the very noticeable scars on his face would betray him. SHERIFF IS INDIGNANT. Sheriff’ Bosquit is indignant at the in- difference shown by some of the citizens of the county, who either fail to report important developments or wait until it is almost too late to do anything. The Shin- gle Springs incident is but one of many. Another thing which greatly handicaps and aggravates Sheriff Bosquit is the lack of financial support extended him by the State officials in hunting down the ‘murderous escapes from Folsom peniten- tiary. The State has not permitted Sheriff Bosquit to spend one cent on its account. The same may be sald of the Supervisors of El Dorado County, who have thus far turned deaf ears to the appeals of the Sheriff for financial assis- tance. 3 gave a garden party at his villa here in honor of Admiral Cotton and the Ameri- can naval,officers, who came by rail from Lisbon, which is four miles distant. The summer palace of King Charles is here, and the members of the court and of the diplomatic corps, as well as the elite of Lisbon, reside here during the summer. The function was elegant. The salons and gardens of the villa were thronged. The band of the Brooklyn fur- nished the music.

BLOODHOUNDS FAIL TO TAKE UP THE TRAIL Go Over Large Territory, but Are Unable to . Get the Scent. L'Vlcu this morning, but failed to take the scent, The party left Lotus at 3 a. m. and arrived at Ingram, thirteen miles distant, just after daybreak. ‘'The air was crisp and chill and as soon as the hounds were on the scene they com- menced to bark and bay And evinced great excitement in anticipation of the hunt that was in stare for them. The place is a lonely gpot in the woods, tiree miles southwest from Pilot Hill, the scene of the battle between the convicts and their pursuers. The exact spot s} known as the Julia mine, a corporation owned and managed by colored people, who have quite an extensive plant. On Monday night before retiring the miners placed three large kettles filled with | beans, corn beef and vegetables on the stove, which, on account of the summer weather, is now out in the open near the corner of their cabin. They stated that there were enough provisions being | cooked to last them three days. The con- | victs swéoped down upon the whole lot some time early Tuesday morning and carried their booty about 200 feet up the hill. Here they apparently devoured | everything, leaving merely a few rem- | mants and the three large pans to mark the spot of their repast. From the foot- | marks it would appear there were three or four in the party. C. P. Ferrell, the owner of the hounds Bessie and Jumbo, took his place in the | middle of the spot where the convicts had | feasted themselves, and then, taking out ! a portion of the trousers that the negro. | Seavis, had discarded after his escape from. prison, he placed it before tae hounds to smell. They sniffed them again | and again, and then, with noses on the | ground, they commenced dashing hither | and thither through the long, dry grasses and srubby chaparral that abound in | the vicinity. Again the dogs came back to take a whiff from the trousers and | once more they were scouring every nook | and corner for a trace of the scent.. For | thirty minutes they worked with tre-| mendous vigor and energy, covering an enormous area of territory, but without | OTUS, Aug. 5—The bloodhounds were put on the track of the cop- success. They could not get the scent, | and so the hunt in that section was ended. From there the whole party was driven in a roundabout manner about twenty miles to Jurgens Postoffice, where Convict | Seavis had spent two hours last Satur- day. The hounds were put over the en- tire country neighborhood, up rough mountain sldes, down deep ravines, through. canyons and along the banks of | the placid Webber Creck, but all to no effect. The scent could not be found, so at 6 o'clogk, after fifteen hours’ hard and | serious labor, the dogs were called off. | The dogs will be t o Shingle Springs to-morrow, where £ s and Case were seen last Monday night TRAILERS CUT OFF FROM ALL COMMUNICATION Start After the Outlaws Who Ambushed the Militiamen. B . PLACERVILLE, Aug. 5.—Sheriff Bos- quit has received no news to-night from the three professional trailers who are following the five convicts who ambushed the soldiers or from Sheriff Norman of Amador County who, with posse, is now in the southeast portion of ElI Dorado near Cat Creek, many miles from com- munication. Reports to-night from Olita brought there by a man in a team were that Sheriff Norman on leaving Olita early this morning sald no trustworthy reports of his movements could be received by the outer world until he sent a mounted mes- senger back to Voleano, which has a pri- vate telephone to Olita, a distance of twelve miles. Olita has a telephone to Plymouth and that place with Placerville. Reports say the conviets are'in a trap on account of the trailers being behind | them and Norman with his posse ahead | of them and that the outlaws will be am- | bushed by the Sheriff and killed. If they try to double on their track the con- victs will meet the professional-trailers, who are sure shots. A report was received here late to-night that the five convicts in the Cat Creek country are to-night less than five miles from the spot where they camped last night. The fugitives traveled all day to- day, but lost their way, traveling in a cir- cuitous route and bringing up to-night with little to show for the day’s work and in much greater danger of meeting posses than at any time since leaving the Grand Victory mine region on Saturday night. ——— WANT TO BE EXCUSED. Militiamen Hope to Escape Attend- ing the Santa Cruz Encampment. PLACERVILLE, Aug. 5.—Captain Swissler of Company H, Second Regiment, is going to Sacramento to try to secure from Colonel Stone a cancellation of the order issued to the company commanding it to proceed to Santa Cruz to participate in the annual encampment of the National Guard of California. The members of the company feel that they have lost so much valuable time during the past ten days in the pursuit of the escaped convicts from Folsom penitentiary that they can ill afford the time to take up the duties of camp life. Many of, the soldiers have lost so much time that it is the wish of the company that Captain Swissler use his best en- deavors to secure Colonel Stone's acqui- escence to a revocation of the order. —————————— NIECE OF PRESIDENT WILL LEAVE THE STAGE Mabel McKinley, Urged by Rela- tives, Decides to Sing No More in Vaudeville.

OME, Aug. 5—The spirit. of “The King is dead! Long live the King!"” which has been repeated through all the long ages upon a change of sovereigns, was the dominant note to-day at the Vatican among those gathered there, not to acknowledge an earthly sov- ereign, but to accept without reserve Pope Pius X as their spiritual king. Not only had America enjoyed the honor of first announcing through the press the ac- cession of the present Pontiff to the chalr of St. Peter, but to-day Americans en- joyed the far greater privilege and honor of being the first to convey to his Holi- ness the homage of the nations. The American pilgrimage, conducted by John J. McGrane of New York and Father -Lynch of Niagara University of Buffalo, N. Y., which left the United States for its pious journey to Rome to receive the hlessing of Leo XIII, arrived while the conclave was sitting. Its mem- bers lingered until the never-to-be-forgot. ten moment yesterday when the election of the new Pope was announced, and then decided reluctantly to leave to-day. But it was with tears of disappointment at not having been able to see the Holy Father that the pllgrims packed and strapped their luggage and sent it to the station. FROM GLOOM TO REJOICING. ‘While the desolate band was eating a hurrfed luncheon preparatory to leaving, MecGrane. with radiant face, burst in, waving a paper and almost dancing In excitement. “You shall see him! You shall see him!"" he cried. “Our Cardinal has arranged it.” Cardinal Gibbons had been asked yes- terday to try to arrange for the reception of the Americans, and had promised to do his best, at the same time explaining how unprecedented it would ba for the Popc the day after his election to recefve a for- eign pilgrimage when there, were scores of high dignitaries who had not vet been admitted, including even the diplomatic hody. Nevertheless he used his influence, with the happiest result, and obtained the consent of the Pope to receive the Ameri. cans. Their luggage was hastily brought back from the station in order that the: might apear in proper apparel. and at 5 o'clock this afternoon all were at the bronze doors of the Vatican. They were met by Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the American College, whose presence was Guite sufficient to make the Swiss Guard step back, present arms and give entrance to all. They trooped up the high stair- way, one hundred strong. and on through the corridors, bending their heads to pass through the openings in the walls which | had been erected for the conclave. Bricks were still lying about on the flagstones. Through the beautiful loggia of Raphael they passed to the unique hall of inscrip- tions, where a halt was calied. POPE PASSES AMONG THEM. After a considerable wait there was a murmured “Hush, #hush,” and two Swiss Guards entered from a corridor. Before the pilgrims could quite realize it the Pope stopd among them. Plus X is a little taller than Cardinal Gibbons, giving, however, the impression of being a much bigger man, as he is inclined to stoutness. He has abundant gray hair, with no signs of baldness; dark, clear eyes; handsome features and a magnificent voice, low in tone, to which is added a peculiar grace due to his mu- sical Venetian accent. From his whole person emanated great benignity and cor- diality. He walked slowly but with the firmness of a young man down the long kneeling line, accompanied by Cardinal Gibbons and Mgr. Kennedy, and gave to each of the pilgrims as he passed his hand to be kissed. He spoke a few words to almost every one. Pius X was arrayed completely in white, without a gleam of color except that which sparkled from the huge emer- ald on his finger. Cardinal Gibbons was on his right in red robes and Mgr. Ken- nedy on his left in purple. preceded by Swiss guards with balberds and followed by members of the Noble Guard. The moving group was set off by the kneeling women, who were all in black, their womanliness made more womanly by the black lace veils which hung from their hair. The men wore dress snits and the priests black gowns. GIFT ¥OR THE PONTIFF. Pope Plus X gppeared to be very much interested when Father Lynch presented to him a box coutaining a white zucchet- to, saying: ‘YWe would be extremely gratified if your Holiness would accept this gift in exchange for the one you wear.” “T will cheerfully do so,” the Pope re- plied. 1 Thereupon Mgr. Bisleti lifted the zuc- chetto fwhich the Pope wore from his head and replaced it with the one which had been presented by Father Ly McGrane handed to Pius X the offer- ings which the pligrims had hastily put together after luncheon to-day. The Pope spoke especially to the members of the Lante family of Philadelphia, to Rev John E. Burke, pastor of the Church of St. Benedict the Moor of New York: to Father Wall, who expressly represented Archbishop Farley, and to Rev. James Roger Matthews of Washington. 'To Father Burke he gave a special bene- diction for the colored people. Occasionally, as the Pope passed along. he laid his hand upon the head of ome of the pilgrims. When Pius X reached the persons who waved two flags yes- terday at St. Peter's, who were carryng them to-day he exclaimed: ¥ “Dear América! Forty-four stars. eh” When he reached the last person in the line he turned, and, while all the pil- grims Kneit, he gave the apostolic bless- ing. ending with the words “T recommend myself to prayers.” It was a moment of int and scarcely was an eye dry Cardinal Gibbons upon leaving the Vati- can sald that he had been delighted to present the American pilgrims to the new your pious e emotion They were ' Pope under such a happy circumstance .WWWR+WWWH L J Austrian Emperor Exercises His Right of Veto to Defeat Cardinal Ra mpolla el el Continued Frgm Page 1, Column 2.; This morning the Pope confirmed in their posts as secret chamberlains, Mgr.

Galli secretary of Latin letters to replace Mgr. Tarozzi, who is ill, and also Mgr. Sardi as secretary for briefs to the princes to replace Mgr. Volpini, who re- cently died. The Pove has confirmed Cardinal Oreg- lia as Camerlingo. Cardinal Agliardi probably will be Secretary of State. The Pope, ylelding to the pressure ex- erted by the foreign Cardinals, who are | anxious to return to their respective countries as soon as posgible, has decided that his coronation shall take place next Sunday. Premier Zanardelli has sent out a cir- cular ordering all Government officials to abstain from participating in the festivi- ties over the election of the new Pope, as Piux X has not notified the Govern- mant of his election. The Pope has confirmed Monsignor Con- | stantin} as secret almoner and has ap- pointed his gentleman-in-waiting, Cavaz- zi, private carver. s The Pope to-day again visited Cardinal Herrero y Espinosa, who is improving. After the many receptions to-day Pius | X announced that he must have absolute | rest. The attendants turned as if to show him his apartments, but he stopped them, crying: “No, I am going for a walk in the gardens.” T TS SIMPLE LIFE OF POPE. Day’s Events Illustrate the New Pontiff’s Character. ROME, Aug. 5—Pope Pius X arose at 5:30 o'clock this morning. He slept last night in the apartment occupled by Car- dinal Oreglia during the conclave, which is situated on the second floor of the Vati- can. No decision has yet been taken con- cerning the Pontiff's ultimate quarters, but it is already said that he desires them to be extremely modest. At 7'15 o'clock the Pope said mass, as- sisted by Monsignor Bressan, his conclav- He afterward took breakfast, which consisted of only coffee, milk and a roll. Then, as he stood against the window | from which he caught a glimpse of the gardens of the Vatican, the Pontiff ex- claimed: My first pleasure when I can spare a mo- ment will be to explore the gardens which now confine my little world. Heigh ho! FHow shall I get on without my long country tramps? How T shall miss them and my sea. Pope Plus wished to see personally most of the innumerable telegrams of con- for theanswers to those for which he cared most, and looked at the copies, changing here and there a word. Then he prepared for this mornings’ state reception of the Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, which Auring the night had been cleared of its temporary furniture, used for the bal- Jots, and was assuming its normal aspect. The third and last obedience of the Sacred College was consummated this morning with the same ceremonial as be- fore in the Sistine Chapel, the Pove be- ing in his full pontifical robes, and pal- pably restored in mind and nerves by a night's rest. The Cardinals filed before him and kissed his hand and foot, all smiling and apparently in a perfectly con- tented frame of mind. They themselves fn turn received a hearty embrace from Pius X. The music was directed by Abbe ‘Perossi, who was the Pontiff's protege, all present remarking how the Sistine choir had improved its method since being un- der the abbe's care. Every available cor- ner of the small chapel was fllled this morning and those present seemed to for- get Plus X in their pleasure in the mag- nificent harmony of the voices of the choir and the feast of color as they rested their eyes on the pictures before them. The ceremony ended about noon. Both going to and coming from the Sis- tine Chapel, when he passed through the Raphael Loggia and the Ducal Hall, the Pope refused to be carried in the sedia -gestatoria, which, however, followed him. After taking a few steps he turned to Monsignor Bisletti and said: “T shall never voluntarily get into that box."” A‘ Te Deum was sung this morning in the Sistine Chapel in honor of the elec- tion of the new Pope.

Often Without Funds Because of His Many Charities. ROME, Aug. 5.—A few anecdotes show what sort of a man is Plus X. His posi- tion as patriarch of Venmice brought him from $2000 to $2400 a year, which did not go far when he had paid the bills for all of his numerous charities. So_ when he was called suddenly to leave Venice he often found himself without money. Once, when he had come to Rome, he was without a cent and did not know where to turn. He was finally obliged to borrow $400 from a bank and was in a perfect fever until the debt was paid. He has a nephew, John Baptiste Sarto. who, notwithstanding the relation, is only the archpriest of the small village of Pes- sagno. When in the past people asked Cardinal Sarto what he would do if made Pope, referring to his modesty and affability, he replied: 1 shall have white robes instead of red. That will be the only change. I shall remain the same Sarto as ever. He was sincere in would not be made Pope. thinking that he M. Stratimiro- vich, the Venetian prelate, accompanied | him to Rome and up to the door of the conclave, and in taking leave, as usual, hoped that Cardinal Sarto would be made Pope. His Eminence replied, laughing: No, no fear for me. Tell me the number of your telephone and I will let you know who Teceives that honor. In all of the excitement of his first triumph he kent his word and went to the telephone station and called up the number, only to find that Mgr. Stratimi- rovich already knew the result of the balloting and was then on his way to the Vatican. Pius likes not only to walk but to climb. A few days before he left Venice for Rome he ascended Mount Grappa, 5500 feet high. But his greatest enjoyment is music. He is a great friend and admirer of Lorenzo Perossi, the eminent director of the Pontifical Choir, who was former- ly maestro at St. Mark’s, Venice. Perossi is chiefly indebted to him for his musical career. b ST. PETERSBURG'S VIEW. Regards the Present Pontiff as a ‘Vannutellist. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 5.—Although disappointed at Cardinal Rampolla’s de- feat, the newspapers accept Sarto’s elec- tion with good grace. They regard it as a compromise between the followers of Cardinals Serafino Vannutelll and Ram- polla, and therefore deny that the Ger- man element has won a victory. The new Pontiff is regarded here as the possedsor of statesmanlike, practical and adminis- trative qualities and one who will pur- sue a cautious political policy and likely to effect changes in the religious field of the church rather than its political sphere. The Government is disposed to regard the new Pope as a pure Vannutellist and an opponent of Cardinal Rampolla. A re- turn to the belligerent policy of Pius IX, however, is regarded as unlikely, and the Government is confident of maintaining its influence over the Catholic church in Russia. . The Palish Catholies favored Cardinal Oreglia, as being the last sur- viving Cardinal appointed by Pius IX. but are somewhat consoled. however, hy Sarto’'s assumption of the title of Pius X.
