Matthews of Washington. To Father
Burke he gave a special benediction
for the colored people.
When Plus x reached the persons
who waved two American flags, yes
terday. at st. Peters and who were
carrying them, today, he exclaimed:
Cara. Cara America, Dear America,
When he reached the last person in the
line he turned and while all the pilgrims
knelt he gave the apostolic blessing, end
ing with the words: Il recommend my
self to your pious prayers"
Cardinal Gibbons upon leaving the Vat
lean said that he had been delighted to
present the American pilgrimage to the
new Pope under such happy crcum-
stances.
Yielding to the pressure exercised by
the foreign cardinals who are DESTROYS
of returning to their respective countries
as soon as possible, the Pope has decided
that his coronation shall take place, next
Sunday
The papers here publish most con-
ficting accounts regarding the work
of the conclave and the votes which
each cardinal received, even saying
that the right of exclusion was exer-
cised by Austria against Cardinal
Rampolla's statement, which the Vat
lean authorities declare is groundless.
Premier Zannardelli has sent out a
circular ordering all government Off
Gals to abstain from participating in
the festivities over the election of the
new Pope, as Plus X has not notified
the government of his election.
The Pope has confirmed Monsignor
Constantine as secret almoner and has
appointed his gentleman in waiting,
Corrazzi, private carver.
After the many receptions, today,
Pids announced that he must have alb
solute rest. The attendants turned as
if to show him his apartments, but he
stopped them, crying: mo, l am 60

he did not wish to change his habits.

No decision has yet been taken con-
corning the Pontiff's ultimate quarters,
but 1t is already said that he desires
them to be extremely modest.
At IT'S, the Pope said mass, assisted
only by Mgr. Bressan, his conclavist.
He afterwards took breakfast, which
consisted of only coffee, milk and a roll.
Then, as he stood against the window
from which he caught glimpse of the
gardens of the Vatican, the Pontiff
exclaimed:
My first pleasure when I can spare
moment, will be to explore the gar
dens which now confine my little world.
Heigh- no, how shall 1 get on without
my long country tranps? How shall
miss them and my sea-"
Pope Plus wished to see personally
