INTERVIEW WITH A CARDINAL.
To Reach His Room He Had to Climb
12S Steps.

ROME, Aug. 4.-Soon after the conclave
dissolved one Of the cardinals who returned
to his home in Rome said: 1--WE really were
very, very well treated, and j feel better
than when / went into the conclave. The
perfect rest was really treat. We had
good food. and the arrangements for look
ing after so many people could not have
been better. After mass every morning we
entered the Sistine Chapel and transacted
our business. After each morning session
we had dinner. During the afternoon most

was an elevator, to which, however, have
deep-rooted objection"
The cardinal said il was impossible to
say who. next to Sarto, had come nearest
to being Pope.
Speaking personally of Plus X he frankly
confessed that he had scarcely heard of
him before he entered the concave except
to write him the Christmas greeting usual
between cardinals He seems, however"
said he, Ito have a charming personality
and to possess the complete confidence of

College, who, being residents of Italy and
whereabouts, are fully able to Judge. L am

quently said that he could never be happy
elsewhere. Poor man. Unless things change
far more than we expect Plus X will never
see his beloved Venice again unless per-
haps, after his body lies beside that of
Leo XIII, his spirit may be able to revisit
the place where he spent many happy
years"
Regarding the veto power supposed to be
vested in Austria, Spain and Italy this
cardinal said that no attempt had been
made to exercise such power and that the
Sacred College was greatly divided as to
the continuance of that tradition. A Vene-
tian might be Objectionable to Austria but
the cardinal said he failed to see why that
should be So as the ancient enmity between
Venice and Austria was confined TO small
section of the Italian people. Besides Aus
tria was Italys ally and they should have
no misgivings regarding the future course
of Plus X. who had kept himself utterly
OUT of politics and who so far this cardi-
nal could learn, had not identified himself
with any particular movement, political or
otherwise.
The new Pope is one of eight children,
two sons and six daughters. One of his
sisters is a dressmaker, another is married
TO a Sacrstan and peddler, third married
a wineshop keeper and the others are I'M

VIENNA, Aug 4-The election of Car
dinai Sarto as Pope has occasioned some
surprise here. his having been
scarcely mentioned among the probable
successors of Pope Leo. In official circles
satisfaction and even pleasure is expressed
at the result OF the conclave. Plus X en-
joys the reputation of being moderate
man of very conciliatory character and
unlikely to take any particularly decided line
politically, to do anything tending to
disturb the relations of the Vatican with
foreign governments. Having seen little of
Rome, It Is thought that he is tolerably
free and independent OF Vatican domestic
politics. Cardinal Rampolla was the only
candidate whose election would have been
distinctly displeasing TO Austria, apart
from his opposition TO the triple alliance,
he had taken the side of the Slav bishops
against Austria.

PARIS. Aug 4-The election OF Cardinal
Sarto as Pope has created distinctly IA
vorable impression in governmental quar-
tiers here. removing the fear that the choice
might fall upon a radical or reactionary
candidate. The Foreign Office received the
first information Of the election from press
sources. the news spreading rapidly among
the oficisis and causing widespread COM
ment.
President Loubet and Foreign Minister
Delcasse this afternoon sent dispatches Of
consratulation to Plus X. This step is re-
garded as giving definite official expression
to the feeling of satisfaction which the
choice Of Sarto has caused in governmental
circles.
who recently visited Venice said to-day that
cordial relations between Sarto and Dow
azer Queen MargherIta were particularly
noted by him. The Queen bestowed many
marks OF favor. which he received without
the slightest evidence OF that tension exist
ing In ether clerical quarters. The official
also remarked that 1t a significant fact

then official bishop, and finally an OFF,
cial cardinal, being always an ecclesiasIic
OF the state-esta blished church. Since SIM
liar conditions of an officially established
clergy prevail in France as in Venice, II is
believed that Sarto Is likely to have a SYM
pathetic appreciation Of the conditions ex-
listing between the state and the church in
France.
Outside OF governmental quarters Sarto's
election Is favorably received. The leading
opponents OF the clerical element point out
his saintliness. and declare that his choice
gives promise Of a religious rather than a
diplomatic Pope.

determination to refuse the dignity. He was
so palpably sincere that CONSERVATION
reigned in the conclave and the cardinals
spent the whole evening and far into the
night in convincing him that his election
was the Will of Providence and that he must
accept. Several times he almost tainted and
had to be revived by the use of salts. He
seemed happy but broken down even after
all the other candidates had retired, and
on the final ballot he looked statue of
resigna ton.
Cardinal Casetta, as scrutineer, was read
ing out the vote. When forty-two votes had
been recorded. for the patriarch of Venice
the scrutineer arose, lifted his red zucchet-
to. saying: "Habemus Pontifcem." But
from many sides cardinals cried out Con-
tinue.' AS the vote approached fifty, how
ever, the cardinals, as of one accord. sur
rounded the new Pontiff and, according to
tradition, demanded to know if he would
accept the pontiticate.
SARTO'S ACCEPTANCE.
Cardinal Sarto's lips trembled so that he
could hardly articulate, but after visible
effort he said: IF this cup cannot pass
me" There he paused, but the cardinals
around him insisted that it was necessary
for him to answer yes or mo-
Thereupon he replied firmly: 81 accept"
Cardinal Gibbons said the election of
Cardinal Sarto had produced the best i'm
preston in the entire Sacred College, being
man of such piety, tact and culture that
he was best fitted to be the head of the
church at the present time. Cardinal Glib
bons hopes that the coronation of Plus X
will take place soon, in order that the for
eign cardinals will be able TO assist. Others
think that the coronation may be postponed
for three months, TO more prOpitiOus time.
There is much speculation regarding the
political attitude OF the new Pope, mas
much as he has not participated in the gen.
eral affairs of the church during his ca
reer. The general opinion, however is that
he will make no change in the relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Quirinal, ex-
cept perhaps to render them more courte-
Gus, inasmuch as he enjoys the personal
acquaintance with the King and members
of the royal family. Queen Margharita
considers him almost a friend. One of his
first steps certainly will be to ameliorate
the relations of the Vatican and France
and to try to prevent a similar struggle
against the congregations in Spain. He is
not credited with being particularly favor
able to Austria, as he still remembers how
much his fatherland suffered under the
domination of that country.
Plus y admits the progress of Catholicism
in America and considers the United States
a most fertile field for religion. The cardi-
nails mentioned as likely to be appointed
secretary of state are Ferrata, project of
the congregation of bishops, Cavagnis and
Vincenzo Vannutelli, bishop of Palestrina.

TUMULTUOUs CROWDS.
Scenes Outside the Vatican When the
Announcement Was Made.

ROME, Aug. 4-The usual large crowd
assembled before st. Peters at about
1890 o'clock this morning to await
the rising of the smoke from the Sistine
Chapel Hundreds of carriages stood In
the blistering sun, which seemed hotter
than ever. The colonnades were blocked
with people, but even there the anxious
watchers could scarcely escape from the
severe heat When the quarter after IL
o'clock struck the crowd left it's shelter
and stooc bravely in the sun in the belief
that the smoke would appeer within a few
a>inutes, as 1t had consistently given cts
signal salute aDoht this hour since the con-
clave commenced.
Minutes sped on and still no smoke was
seen. When the bells sounded at half-past
IL the ministers and others left their car
riages and joined the watchers on the steps
of the basiica. Inside st. Peters many
also were waiting. and the suspense brought
thousands running from the nearby streets,
the delay on the fourth morning of the con-
clave being interpreted to mean that a
decision had at length been reached. The
troops spread themselves across the square
and nervous anticipation possessed all.
Hundreds of surmises passed from mouth
to mouth. Minutes seemed like hours.
SARTO'S ARMS DISPLAYED.
ST. Peters doomed out the three-quarters
OF the hour, and there was still no sign
either of the smoke or of an announcement.
A second later the great central window OF
st. Peters facing the piazza swung slowly
open. A loud shout arose and all rushed
mady towards the cathedral. At the open
windows half dozen Vatican attendants
appeared. Suddenly there broke out into
the fierce sunlight gorgeous banner bear
ing n cardinals arms. Reinforcements of
troops crossed the piazza at the double.
then closed their ranks and held back many
who strained every nerve TO get close to
the window
For minute or so none knew to which
cardinal belonged the arms so significantly
displayed. Then the rumor arose that they
We're Sarto's, but few persons were abso-
lutely sure of their identity. Five hundred
troops lined up around the top of st.
Peters steps, thus dividing the great
crowd, which was increasing every mo-
ment. into three sections
The tension was soon relieved. Cardinal
Macchi, in his cardinal robes. carrying a
large red book and preceded by glittering
cross, appeared at the window. A wild
shout went up. Cardinal Macchi waved
both hands for silence. In n second a SOL
emn hush fell on the scene, broken only by
a sharp word OF command from an officer.
and the rattle wherewith the troops
brought their rifles TO the present In clear
tones Cardinal Macchi read the preamble
the people below meanwhile being scarcely
able TO contain themselves until he reached
the word 'Sarto. when terrific roar went
up. Those out of hearing OF the cardinal

whole square became one mass Of men
