From the moment they enter into convention for the purpose of choos- ing a Pope the Cardinals are com- Dletely shut off from the outside world. No news comes to them nor does any news of thelr proceedings filter from their retreat. Rules gov- erning their conduct and deliberations to the minutest detail are enforced by the officials selected, On the morning after the enclosing of the conclave the Cardinals, wear- ing the violet mozetta, meet in the chapel, and after the celebration of mass and thelr communion a prayer to dhe Holy Ghost is recited, and they at once proceed to the work of elec- tion, which is to be carried out only according to the three following methods, or otherwise the election is null. The three forms of election are: By inspiration, when all the Cardl- nals, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, proclaim unanimously and openly somebdy as Pope. This form of election must be made in an en- closed conclave, by all the Cardinals in a body without a dissentient voice and with no previous discussion, If one of the Cardinals spontaneously Proposes the name of anybody and all the others without a single exception (I elect) then this person 1s canonically elected and a true Pope. By arbitration, when the Cardinals mext Pope probagly will be chosen by ballot, although two other methods|entrust the power of electing to a of selection are provided for. Up to 1904 Austria had veto power over the choice of the College of Cardinals, That power was abolished the Roman Catholle Chur ‘ by Pope Pius X, ‘There have beon 264 Popes, but six have been declared unjustly elected and their names have been dropped.

By ballot, when the person upon whom at least two-thirds of the Car- dinals present in conclave have agreed by secret ballot voting to be held as Roman Pontiff. The number of two- thirds of the votes necessary for the valid election by ballot is to be estl- mated in such a way that the vote of the person elected is not to be count- ed. The process of balloting consists of three parts, which are called ante- balloting, balloting and post-balloting. When the selection ts finally made according to form, and after all bal- lots have~been carefully scrutinized and counted, a committee of Cardi- nals 1s appointed by the presiding Cardinal, The committee proceeds to the apartment of the chosen prince of the Church and formally notifies him of his election, He is asked if he will accept, this query being a mat- ter of form, and upon receiving his acceptance the committee returns to side world by the lighting of a fire of twigs in a fireplace in the Vatican in such a way that a thin stream of smoke proceeds from a certain chim- ney. This is a time honored custom, but by the time the smoke is seen the name of the new Pope will doubt- less have been given’ to the world through official and modern channels, The English-speaking cardinals now tn the Sacred College are x dinals Gibbons, Farley and O'Connell, of the Unjted States; Bourne and Gasquet, of England; Begin, of Can- ada, and Cardinal Logue, of Ireland. In addition to these, however, there is Cardinal Merry del Val, who, al- though of Spanish origing was edu- cated in England and is of pro- nounced English proctivities. Cardl- nal Falconio, although Italian by birth, is a naturalized American citi- zen, and for years was apostolic dele- gate at Washington, Cardinal Mar- Unelll, his predécessor at Washing- ton, was always consulted by Pope Plus on affairs relating to the United States. The other nations are now repro- sented in the Sacred College as ful, lows: Italy, 38 Cadinals; Fran Austria- Hungary, 6 2; Spain, 5; Germany, Belgium, 1, and Holland ; South America, ternational aspect of the Sacred Co lege is also emphasized by the fact that many of the Italia are men of the widest cosmopolitan yiture and may be regarded ax Tfalian tn birth only. They have been in the service of the church in many other nations. Fourteen new Carc:- nals were created by Pope Piys at the consistory held this spring, and it is @ notable fact that he chose men who rose as he roe in the Church, from a parish priest and without re- gard of noble blood. ‘The idea that an American may be chosen Pope is, naturally, entertained by all Roman Catholics in this couf- try. For the first time in the history of the Church the forthcoming con- clave will be fairly international 'n character, because the former over- whelming majority of Cardinals gf Itallan birth has been’ materially de- creased. Nevertheless the Italian Cardinals are still in a majority, In that their votes are pecessary to a choice, al- though they do not number two- thirds of the membership of the Sa- cred College, The Cardinals most prominently mentioned as having the best chance 4 Pope Plus X, are all Ital- Time of the Pope’s Death Was Held Back by Censors Definite explanation and positive o'clock New York time yesterday confirmation that the official ceived here ta-day in a delayed cable-| gram to the New York Sun from the Sun's correspondent in Rome, Philip!
