ELECTION CAUSED
 STUPOR IN VENICE
THE FACT THAT CARDINAL sARTo SPEAKS NOTHING BUT ITALIAN WAS CONSIDERED A GREAT DRAWBACK.

Venice, August 1.-The election of Car dinal sarto as pope produced here an impression more of stupor than anything else, because his candidacy Tn which he never put much faith seemed almost hopeless, and also because 1t was thought here that, although a man of great piety, he was lacking in one of the eminent qualities of pope-being ignorant of diplomacy. For instance, the fact that he speaks nothing but Italian was con- sidered a great drawback. as every pom tiff is obliged to receive many personages who are unfamiliar with the Italian lan- guage. The news was communicated to his sisters, who live with him in the palace of the patriarch, and a great crowd gathered there to register tokens of pleasure.
 Many shops were closed and some of the most important personages of Venice went to the patriarch's palace to congrat- ulate his sisters. among them being Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, and his wife

HANNA DISCUSSES
 CIVIC FEDERATION
SAYS WORKING PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROSPEROUS SINCE ITS oRGANlZATIoN-His PURPOSE NOT POLITICAL.

Cleveland, O., August 4-Senator Hanna, in an address devoted to an explanation of the purpose of the civic federation. of which he is chairman. delivered before the members of the Cleveland Builders exchange, said in part: Since the orr ganization of the civic federation, the working people have been prosperous as never before and so has the employer. The wage earner. however, thought to them selves, Are we getting our part of this prosperity? I must admit that in many cases they were not We aim to remedy that condition. Where there Is a differ ence of opinion between labor and capital we try to bring them together. The fed eration does not act as board of arbitra ton. We have been instrumental in set ting nearly one hundred strikes in two years. The only failure of any import ance was in the great anthracite strike. I made a proposition to the mine owners to settle the strike of a basis of per cent advance to the miners and they refused The arbitration board appointed by Pres ident Roosevelt gave the miners more than twice as much. If our offer had been accepted it would have saved this country $200 000000."
 Referring to the statement that had been made that his connection with the civic federation was for political purposes. sen- ator Hanna said:
 Some may say that my connection with this organization Is for political purposes, but I can't help their saying it. I know what I am doing 1t for. Every man who has the interest of his country at heart should aid in any movement which has for it's purpose the betterment of economic conditions for the human race"

for his kindly expression of interest and approval of it's work, and to assure his excellency that the Catholic church, now and always. stands for obedience to au- thority. divine and human, and the sane tity of the home"
 The per capita tax of the federation was placed at two cents.

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.
First Days Play Was Not Only Dull,
 But Disappointing.

Boston, August IA default by one of the British players and a decisive defeat for one of the American contestants made the first days play for the onter- national lawn tennis challenge cup at the Longwood Cricket club today not only dull but disappointing.

international art exhibition. King Victor Emmanuel gave orders that the patriarch be given precedence over all the local au- thorities but Sarto, having arrived while the king was speaking to the prefect whe is the highest government official in the province, refused to be announced and said he would not disturb his majesty. He remained in an ante chamber, affably con versing with the generals and admirals gathered there.
 When the king learned of his presence he came to see him on the threshold of the chamber and kept him in conversa- tion, accompanying him afterwards in gondola, while all the soldiers and guards rendered Sarto military honors. Nat urally this does not mean that Sarto as pope will fundamentally change the pol icy that the church has adopted towards the Italian state, but certainly his per- sonal feeling will be favorable to modera- ton.
 Mother Was a Peasant.
 Advices from Riese. the birthplace of Plus X and village of four thousand in- habitants, state that the pope's mother, now dead, when living there occupied a. small peasants house, having in her hu- mility always refused to live with her son, Guizeppe, as even his modest estab- lishment was considered by her to be eoo iuAulOuS III cOmpaflSOn With what she was accustomed to. The elder brother of the pope, Angelo, lives In the village of Dellegrazie, province of MantVa being the postman of the district and receiving eight dollars a year for his duties
 He adds to his income by keeping shop in which he sells tobacco and pork. His two daughters are the beles of the village, being known for miles around as the handsome Sarto sisters"
 
 his brother Angelo used often to go there for reasons connected with his postal service The other clerks would ask him jokingly why hls brother did not find him a better position Angelo, with sturdy independence, answered that he preferred only to be what he could make himself. Still, following papa1 prece- dents, the tobacconist and postman of Dellegrazie should now become a royal count.
