OUTSIDE SENTIMENT
ROME, Feb. 20.-After the election
the announcement to the people was
made with the prescribed formalities
and ceremonies from the Vatican, and
created intense excitement, although it
had been accepted as a foregone couclu-
sion that an Italian cardinal would be
the choice of the conclave.
The Fanfulla states: Germany IN
structed Hohenlohe to declare that tn
elt ctlo n of an irreconcilablePope would
obIige the government to take repres-
sive steps Immediately, whereas mo-
derate pontlf could speedily terminate
the existing differences.
The smoke of the burning ballots
having been seen at 1890 P. NJ to-day,
the crowd before the Vatican, thinking
the ballot was taken without result, had
almost dispersed. When at lis P NJ
CardlCal Cateroni appeared in the
grand gallery Of the Vatican basilica
and announced in the customary form
ula Cardinal Pecci's succession to the
papacy. the few by-standers cheered
most enthusiastically and large crowd
soon assembled, densely thronging the
open space between the Vatican and
the approaches thereto. At 4:3O the
newly elected Pope, surrounded by all
Cardinals, appeared in the inner gallery
of the basilca. The crowd vocifer-
ousy shouted, Long live the Pope"
The Holy Father at length made
signal for silence, and then intoned the
benedicta and pronounced benedic-
ton. After this the cheering was re-
newed and continued until the Pope
withdrew.
AS soon as the result of the election
became known the bells in all of the
churches of Rome were rung and dip
lomats went to the Vatican to coDgratu-
late the new Pope.
The cardinals will remain in the Va
tican until tomorrow.
Perfect order prevails everywhere.
LONDON, Feb 20.-A correspond
ent at Berlin says Prince Bismarck
considers Cardinal Pecci's election to
the Papacy the most suitable one at the
present time.
The Ultramontanes are furious at the
result of the election A correspon-
dent draws attention to the fact that
Cardinal Pecci. when he was Gamer
longo, ordered the Pontifcal carriages
to be prepared for the new Pope, and
drove out in solemn form. The cor
respondent adds that the myth Of the
Pope's captivity is thus exploded.
A Paris dispatch says the election of
Cardinal Pecci as Pope has made ia
vorable impression there.
THE NEW POPE.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-The Rome cor
respondent of The Times, in letter to
that journal, under the date of the l4th
of the present month, spoke as follows
Of Cardinal Pecci, to-day elected Pope
. "Pecci is tall, with fne head, high
forehead, narrowing at the temples,
long face and straight features. He
has large mouth, prominent chin,
cheerful open countenance, and large
well-shaped ears. His face reminds
one Of Consulvi, the renowned minister
of Plus VII. He has fine so6orous
voice, great dignity, even austerity OF
manner in public life, but privately is
affectionate, unassuming, sociabe and
witty. As camerlongo, he has been
the head of that party which, without
formally renouncing the right. of the
Holy See, acknowledges the wisdom of
submitting to the DEGREES of Providence
accepting what seem to be irrevocably
accomplished facts. The general opin-
ion is that for learning, tact, energy,
dignity, amlability, real moral worth
and sincere piesy, the sacred college

than Cardinal Pecoi At Perugia he
followed the same policy recommended
by the late Cardinal Riario-8 8forza at
Naples. He advised good Catholics to
tul6ll their duties as citizens at munici.
pal and provincial elections, even when
the clerical press, protesting to inter-
pref much of the Vatican, enjoined the
policy of abstination. Cardinal Pecci
spoke with great effect against the pro-
posal for the removal of conclave from
Rome and other measures advocated by
tho reactionary party. He enjoys tae
confidence and support of the Liberals,
or at least q reasonable majority of
them, in the sacred college, and plays
the same part as was sustained by Car
dinal Giszi at tho conolave in l846.
Cardinal Pecci's private life at oil peri.
