Plus x AND THE UNITED STATES.

The opinion expressed by the Journal
Immediately after the election of the new
Pope that he would be found liberal and
friendly towards the United States is con-
firned by his acts. The opinion when ex-
pressed was somewhat conjectural being
based on general principles. but the acts
and expressions of the Pope leave no doubt
early interview, and the first granted to
any journalist to the American representa-
tive of the Associated Press, and gave him
as a message to the American people: II
love the Americans, who are the booming
youth of Catholicism. Convey to all of
them how gladly l impart my apostolic
blessing to the whole country" AS it is
the Pores business 10 place the church

will pardon his referring to them as the
blooming youth of Catholicism" He In
tended it as compliment. and the friend

usual excitement and confusion to a large
party OF Americans who had gone TO Rome
to call on Leo XIII, and not Plus W That

his feeling towards the country of which

stars. eh?" Whoever informed him should
have said forty-hyc, but that Is not ma.
teriai. The point is that without any In
ducement to be other than formal he was
almost impulsively friendly. This Is q
matter Of more consequence than some
persons may imagine. The United States
could get along very well without the
friendship of the Pope, as the American
people could without his blessing, but 1t IL
better to have both. This country and
people could get along without the friend
ship Of any foreign power. but IL Is much
better to have it and to feel that ii is based
on intelligent understanding. The Pope has
no temporal power. but he is the head OF
| the greatest church organization I'm the
world. and his friendship is complimentar,
and desirable. Moreover, we have impor
tant negotiations pending in the Philip
pines which the Pope can make much
portunity Of showing his friendly feeling
towards the country and people he ha.

might prove more difficult to deal with thar

said:

We'll done We provide public schools and
every possible facility for educating our
people to be able to intelligently assume

RECEPTION TO DIPLOMATS.
Multicolored Costumes Set on the
Pope's Robe of White.

ROME. Aug. 6.-During one full hour this
morning there seemed to be nothing but
vibrating sounds so penetrating were the
strokes of the bells OF about five hundred
churches. which, all ringing together, alb
sorbed all other noises. The ringing was In
honor of the election of Piux X. an innova-
ton ordered by Cardinal Resphigi, vicar
of Rome. who issued special instructions
therefor. All the churches contemporaries
ously celebrated masses for the event. The
bells involuntarily served another purpose
that of ringing in the great ceremony of
the reception Of the diplomatic body, ac-
credited to the Holy See. Rome has lately
been surfeited with Vatican functions, but
that of this morning was so striking that
it held its own with the others.
The members of the Sacred College gath
cred before the hour set for the ceremony
and held kind OF informal reception, the
conclave, short as II was, having brought
them cordially together. A procession was
then formed. First came the Swiss guards,
which gives a peculiar medieval splendor
to all papal gatherings, then the Palatine
guard, followed in irregular ranks by the
whole pontifical court in its multiform and
multicolored costumes, the cardinals in all
the gorgeousness OF their scarlet robes
and the bishops, scarcely less striking in
their purple The Pope. In spotless white,
his gray hair In harmony with his whole
attire. and surrounded by the noble guard,
who always remain near mis- person, went
on foot just as the others.
The procession having gained the hall of
the throne, where the members of the
diplomatic body were gathered, Senior
d Antas. the Portuguese ambassador and
dean of the corps, read in a clear voice the
collective greeting of his colleagues. pre-
senting their homage TO the new Pope. and
assuring him OF their fidelity. Piux X an
swered with great cordiality, thanking
them heartily for their good wishes. All
then kissed his hand, and the Pontlr took
this opportunity OF speaking personally to
each. showing a knowledge of the politics
the diplomats, the new Pontiff being cred
tied with taking small interest in affairs
outside OF Italy. 1t was another surprise
to them to hear him speak French. If not
fluently, at least with certain readiness.
Altogether the whole audience gave prom
.se of a new era OF international cordiality
at the Vatican.
The Pope has decided to hold a secret
consistory Monday next and a public
consistory on the Thursday following.

grave BIZ his laundering leadership and his
