Europe is troubled. The London
Times and Telegraph say the situation
is precarious one that the nations
of the old world are armed to the
teeth and ready at any moment to
spring at each others throaths. a
great anti-Russian demonstration is
to be made in'London to-day; the
good feeling between Russia and Ger
many no longer exists; Servia is
grumbling and dissatisfied with the
conditions of the peace, while Ger
many is itself being disturbed by in
ternal discussions.

THE NEW POPE--LE0 XIII.
Cardinal Pecci Chosen Successor te Pius..IX.

A Rome correspondent of the Times,
in q letter to that journal, dated Feb
ruary l4th, spoke as follows of Cardi
nal Pecci, elected Pope: "Pecci has
a fine head, high forehead. narrow
ing at the temples, long face and
straight features. He has large
mouth, a large chin, cheerful, open
countenance, and large and well-shap-
ed ears. His face reminds one of Co.'S
sulvi, the renowned minister of Plus
9TH. He has fine sonorous voice,
great dignity, even austerity of man
ner in public life, but privately he is
affectionate, unassuming and witty.
As Camerlingo he has been the head
of that party, which, without formal
ly renouncing the right of the Holy
See, acknowledges the wisdom of sub
hitting to
DEGREES OF PROVIDENCE,
accepting what seems to be irrevoca-
bly, accomplished. The general opin-
ion is. that tor learning, tact, energy,
dignity, amicability. real moral worth
and sincere piety, the sacred college
can't. find more deserving Pope than
Cardinal Pecci. His private life at all
periods is above reproach. He has
considerable literary talent and has
written poetry. He has never had in
tercourse with the fInctionaries of the
present Italian government, but is es-
teemed by them all, and those with
whom the necessity of his duty brings
him into contact are perfectly charm
ed"
The smoke of burning ballots hav-
ing been seen at 1890 p. NJ, to-day,
the crowd before the vatican, think
ing the ballot was again without re-
suit, almost dispersed, when at 1:15
Cardinal Cateroni appeared in tho
grand gallery of the vatican basilica
and announced in the customary form
Cardinal Peccis succession to the Pa
pacy. The few by ISLANDERS cheered
most enthusiastically and large
crowd soon assem- bled densely throng-
ing the open space before the vatican
and approaches thereto. AT 4.30 the
newly elected Pope, surrounded by
all the cardinals, appeared in the i'll
ner gallery OF the basilica. The crowd
shouted "Long live the Pope" The
Holy Father at length made signal
for silence, and then iutoned the bene-
dicite aud pronounced the benedic-
ton. After this the cheering was re-
newed, aud continued until the Pope
withdrew.
He is an Italian and assumes the
title of Leo XIII. He was born in
1910 and is represented as man of
blameless character, sincerely relig-
ious, well versed in church matters,
and of moderate opinions. The gen.
eral opinion is that, for learning, tact,
energy, dignity, amicability, real NOR
al worth and sincere piety, the Sacred
College could not find a more deserv-
ing Pope. His private life, at all
periods, is above reproach. His cleo.
ton is very satisfactory to the Italian
government. He was crowned on
Sunday.
