THE NEW POPE.
Huvv o Pope is Choaen---Tho Mont Sccro
Voto In the World.

ROME, February 1919 P. M.-The
conclave's second ballot was to begin ut
s o'clock this afternoon. The smoke of
the burning ballots in this c.se was not
observed until Gas p. M, showing that
the votes were much scattered. The
Fhn(alla states that Germany instructed
Hohenloher to declare that the election
of an irreconcileble Pops would oblige
The government to take repressive steps
Immediately, whereas moderate Pontiff
could speedily terminate existing differ
encca. The Fd,VuHa also says: "The
French cardinals, contrary to their frat
declarations, ultimately determined to
unite with the Spanish, Austrian and
German cardinals in supporting mod
crate candidate"
ROME, February 20.-Cardinal Gioa-
been elected Pope. Cardinal Pecci is an
Italian.
LONDON, February 2O.-The Rome
correspondent of the Times in letter to
that Journal, under date of the l4th of
Cardinal Pecci, who was .to. day elected
Pope, and assumed the title of Leo XIII: !:
Cardinal Fecci is tall, with o fine head,
high forehead, narrowing at the temples,
long face and strs:ght features. He has
q large mouth, prominent chin. cheerful,
open countenance, and large, we'll shaped
ears. His face reminds one of Consalyi.
the renowned minister of Plus VII. He
has q fine sonorous voice, great dignity,
even austerity. of manner in public life,
but privately is affectionate, nnassuming,
ssceei:able siid witty. As Carmeiingo, he
has been the head of that party which,
without. formally renouncing the rirht of
the Holy See, acknowledges the aa.sEd oia
of submitting to the decrees of Pnyi-
,dence. accepting what seems to be irre-
vocably accomplished facts.
The general opinion IL that for learn
Ing, tact, en..gy, dignity, am;sbi,ity, real
moral worth and sincere piety, the sacred
college could net fnd c more deserving
Pope than Cardinal Pecci. At Perugia
he followed the same policy recommends
ed by the late Cardinal Riario Sporza.
At Naples he advised good Catholics to
fulfill their duties as citizens a1 municipal
and provincial elections, even when the
clerical press, protesting to interpret the
mind of the Vatican, enjoined the policy
of abStention. Cardinal Pecci spoke With
great effect against the proposal for the
removal of the conclave from Rome and
other measures advocated by the reac-
tionary party. He enjoys the confidence
and support o. the Liberals, or at least q
reasonable majority of them, in the
sacred college, and plays the Same part
as was sustained by Cardinal Eezzi In the
con3,ave of 1874.
Cardinal Pecci's private life ut all Pc
riods is above reproach. He has ronsid-
efahle literary talent and has written
poetry. He never has had intercourse
with the functtonAFies OF tho present
italian government, but is esteemed by
them ali, and those with whom the ne
cessity of bis duty brings him into con-
tact arc perfectly charmed with him.
The Tines of October 80. 1877. had a
iuttrx froun fsouie, under date of October
27, saying Cardinal Pecci, Roman, born
In 1910, has only lately settled in Rome,
having, as Is said, been kept away at his
arch diocese of Perugia by the jealousy
of AntonAlli. He is a,inan Of blamelesa
character, sincerely religious, we'll yersed
Ia church natters, and of moderate opin-
ions. His appointment was one of the
1isest acts Of Plus Tx, unless it was sug-
gested by u wish to exclude him as
LibcraI frons the Papacy. AS Carme-
lingo, as have explained In previous
