Plus X. to-day rested in the chamber-in which he died -test evening. Great crowds stood uncovered in St. Petet’s Square. Many knelt im prayer while in all churches supplications were. offered by. . thousands who revered the venerable head of the Church and loved the man fot his peasant simplicity. Official ansiouncement of the death of the Pope was made at 1.20 A M, to-dzy. It was known in official circles, however, at 6 o'clock yesterday evening (noon New York time). Such a delay in announcing the passing of the Pope is no: unusual. The Vatican withheld the an- Mouncement of the death of Pope Pius IX. for twenty-four hours and there was also a lapse of several hours between the death of Pope Leo XIII. and the official announcement of his passing, The news of the Pope's death was received in New York by United Press at 2.29 P. M. Following the practice of the Vatican, the news of the death of the | } Pope was withneld from the public until it had been officially ane) | nounced to the various governments. Then it was officially made | known here. The Italian Premier, Signor Salandra, at once ordered a) that the necessary measures be taken to guarantee the complete liberty of the provisional government of the Church and of the Sacred College, which is the temporary custodian of the supreme power of the Church during the interregnum pending the election of a Pope. The funeral ceremonies, which will occupy a period of nine days, were begun to-day. The Conclave to elect the successor of Pius X. will be held probably Sept. 3. * LAST WORDS HIS FAVORITE MOTTO. ‘Together in one, all things in Christ.” These words which he adopted e6@ bis motto in en Encyclical issued on August 10, 1903, six days after be had been elevated to the Pontificate, were on the lips of Pope Pius X. e6 he entered the Valley of Death. The end was peaceful. A few moments before he had been roused fvem « state of semi-consciousness and attempted to bestow a blessing ‘pon those gathered in the chamber, but his strength failed him. After & pause he murmured the scriptural text and did not speak again. Pope Pius died of a broken heart. Utterly powerless to prevent the Weropean war now in progress, Hie Holiness rapidly weakened under the worry and strain. This,was followed by @ recurrence of bronchial cataarb and gouty manifestations which had long threatened his life. 9 tm @ moment of rallying, he said xadly: “In ancient times the Pope by a Word might have stayed the slaughter. Now he is impctent.” The dying Pope in a moment of lucidity, said: “Now I begin to think as the end is approaching that the Almighty in fis inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is mndergoing.” Urgent telegrams were sent to Cardinal Farley, who is in Switser- | fand, and the Holy See notified all the Cardinals who are living in ned er other parts of Italy of the Pope's death. Al! the churches and cler ia Rome were likewise notified. The death of the Pontiff in the elghtleth year of his life and the| ¢welfth year of his pontificate, while long anticipated because of ailments f fmcident to advanced axe, nevertheless came as a shock even to those gear him. As the supreme moment approached the coughing ceased and | "(he restlessness which the doctors had been unable to relieve disap- ; , peared. The features of the patient, which had given evidence of his! * pain, resumed a normal expressioh except for the pallor, which increased.
