THE POHTIFICAL JUBILEE OF Plus X.

Feelings Of the People, Description
Of the Ceremonies-Inci-
dents Of the Day


To-day Pic Mono has equalled the years Of st.
Peter, and his Pontincal jubilee to celebrate the
twenty-five years COMPLETED began this morning.
This event has been awaited with considerable JOY
by the POpe's partisans and with some anxiety on
the part OF the Italian government, from fear OF
disturbances and broIs In the streets between the
two factions, the patriots and the Papanes So far
the feast has gone on WE'LL and. although II will last
until the 2lst, Inclusive, the conviction is general
that no trouble will take place. The greatest pre-
cautions nave been taken to keep the peace
Of the city. and to-day the streets have
been picketed with troops Of the line

The royal commissary here. Minister Garda, issued
yesterday his proclamation to the Romans, in which
he expressed the hope that they would, with their
usual moderate on and good sense, allow the POnti-
dcal jubilee to pass on unmolested. az a splendid
confirmation of the entire liberty which religion
and Its servants have enjoyed and do enjoy under
the new rule. The jubilee Is taken for solemnty.
The city is rather battered to have on hand now
and then a rare performance which could not take
place IN other towns, and the excitement IN specu-
lations OF all kinds has been rife for the last few
days.
THE VARIOUS OCCUPATIONS
which have arrived from foreign countries brought
with them nuge sums of money collected ut home
as present 10 his Holiness, as well as many other
gifts and valuables, all OF which have graciousy
received an abiding place at the Vatican. Plus TX.

there ccclesiastics or all cOlOrs, dresses and
ways of thinking. There Is no stir made over them
as was made at the time OF the arrivals for the
Ecumenlcal Council. 1t is true, they are by far
fewer In numbers,
THE GRAND TOTAL
OF clergy and aical visitors from abroad being est
mated at 5000, not enough to content the hotel
keepers, who besides, do not recognize In them the
qualities OF the spendthrlft. The visitors are as
much astonished at what they IN the streets as
the Romans are over the unusually ordinary quality
of those who, 1t was said, had this time come to
modest instead OF to purchase, TO fight instead of to
laugh. At this rate foreigners would lose that
prestige which so many past years spent here mad
gained for them in the ewes OF the natives Decidedly
the most striking feature of the festtvity Is the
peculiar glance which the citizens bestOw on jub

what skeletons OF foreigners Can these be JOres-

the factions charge each other with having driven

Rome and completely out OF the market, by their
mtsdeeds.
