then all the pent-up enthusiasm burst
forth in a tremendous roar of welcome.
FROM his elevation on the new sedia sesta-
of red brocade' thanked by the fam ous fla
belli (spreading feather fans) and sur
mounted by white and gold canopy, the
Pope appeared TO be more than a human
being. He seemed TO be a white spirit. TINS

lures. face white as alabaster and his thin
hand moving slowly I'm benediction.
AS the sweet-toned. well-trained voices OF
the Sistine choir sang Tues Petrus.' thou
sands OF voices shouted Long live Pope
Leo!" handkerchiefs fiuttered in the air.
the banners OF the various societies repre-
sented were waved, and many OF those
present, overcome with emotion, sobbed
loudly. while others tainted from excess OF
feeling fatigue.
Meanwhile the Pope proceeded slowly on
what seemed carpet of heads, absorbing
the entire attention of the vast throng.
When the Pope arrived at the throne the
ceremony proceeded rapidly. Leaving the
sedia gestatoria, the Pontin knelt and
prayed, and then rose without assistance.
donned the falGa and the new triple crown,
and the celebration of the mass began.
At the moment of the elevation OF the
host profound silence fell ON the assem-
blage, the guards presented arms, the peo-
pie kneIt, where IL was possible Tor them
to do so. and from the cupola came the
clear, thin sounds OF silver trumpets, CIV
ing the idea of heavenly music,
The Pope then adminiStereu tne pdpdi
benediction and retired 20 room Tor re-
storatives. prepared on purpose every time
he goes to st. Peters. There, addressing
DIR. Lapponi. his private physician, the
Pontiff said: You see that, after all your
warnings. the ceremony did me good What

When the Pope returned TO the Vatican
from the basilica he resumed his place on
the sedia Gestatoria, and was carried
through the whole length of the cathedral,
rising erect many times to bestow bless
ings while many princes. cardinals. diplo-
mats and bishops bowed low, and the
crowd saluted him frantically
When the Pontif had departed the peo-
pie left St. Peters, but ii was still rain
ing heavily there was much difficulty i'm
obtaining carriages. However. in three
quarers of an hour the piazza was de-
serted.
Among the many cases brought to the
ambulances from inside the basilica, as a
result of the early crush, only one rel
atively grave. 1t was that of a woman
who. having partly climbed up a pillar.
fell and injured herself. When the Pope
returned to his apartments he wished to
discuss the ceremony and give impressions
of it, but his physicians insisted on COM
plete quiet, upon which the Pontiff ex-
claimed: THE demonstration to-day has
been so affecting. 1t surpassed all my ex-

In speech In the Senate yesterday Sem
ator Tillman declared that President Roose-

from Presiednt McKinleys policy in regard

the early part OF his administration Pres

ruis Of his Republican predecessors" but
that after the Spanish war he changed his
policy. AS recall the fact" said Senator
Tillman. "Mr. Mckinley went to Tuskegee.
and 10 his speech at the Booker T. WASH

relations between themselves and the white
people and to look after their material in

never advised the negroes Ito leave politics

prosperity of the country is so great that
there is yet surplus.
For years attempts have been made to in
duce Congress to give the army modern
and effective organization. but until the last
session all efforts were unavailing. The
outgoing Congress, turning its back upon
prejudice and favoritism, gave the army a
general staff like that of all modern and
effective armies 1t also legislated to bring
the State National Guards into closer rela-
tons with the regular army by providing
for its arming and equipping in the same
manner and by providing for the better in
struction of the state troops. In the event
of war the National Guard will become a
part of the army for active operations.
Such are few of the more important
acts of the Congress which passes into his
tory to-day at noon.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-03-04

On Saturday, in a colloquy in the Senate
between Senators Aldrich and Teller. the
latter asserted that the revenues should be
reduced, evidently forgetting that they had
been reduced Sc, 600, 600 by the Fifty-seventh
Congress. Thereupon Mr.. Aldrich asked
Mr.. Teller if he would cooperate with the
Republican side of the chamber at the next
session in reducing the revenues. which"
Mr.. Aldrich added, I'VE shall certainly un-
dertake to do provided there is surplus"
1t may be that the six months preceding
the assembling of the next Congress will
not show a surplus. The dropping of
$25. 100000 of revenue by the outgoing Con-
gress and the liberal appropria tons made
by it may not leave a surplus. If. however.
duties the process would tend to increase
rather than decrease the revenues Some
of the heavy duties on iron and steel tend
to keep out imports when. If the duties
were lower. the imports would be heavier.
Congress could largely increase imports and
more prominent staples. but by so doing
the market or the home producer would be
infringed upon. which cannot be thought
Of the duties, however. could be reduced
on many articles without exposing the
home producer to foreign competition. If
the home producer should take advantage
of the high duty to maintain exorbitant
prices there would be good reason to cut
the duty. A general revision of the tariff
such as Senator Aldrich makes conditional
upon a surplus would be a popular thing
for Congress to do, even If there should be
no surplus next December. Mr. Teller prom
Uses the assistance of the Democrats in rev.
enue reduction, but IL the duty on sugar.
which is paid by the consumer, should be
considered with reference TO cut Mr. Tel
Ter would cry out against 1t because beet
sugar making is a Colorado industry. At
heart Mr.. Teller is as much protectionist
as is Mr.. Aldrich when an article produced
i'm Colorado is threatened with lower
duty.

The Congress which expires to-day, if ii
has not accomplished all that was desired
has added important policies in several
laws which it enacted. The isthmian canal
has been before Congress more than a
dozen years. but the Fifty-seventh Congress
can claim the distinction of being the one
which gave the legislation necessary to be-
gin the great work. This may be said to
be one of the acts of Congress which for
ever changes the policy of a nation, and
which in time will affect the commerce of
half the world. Another act of the Fifty
seventh Congress which may have a
marked influence upon the future of the
country is that inaugurating a system of
government aid to irrigation, which. if it
shall accomplish half that it's champions
claim for 1t, will make populous States out
of the arid lands of the far West. These
two acts are legislation for the future. and
legislation which may shape the destiny of
the country after decades shall have passed.
The creation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor is a piece of legislation
demanded by the growth of the country.
One of its objects is to regulate interstate
commerce and to control great corporations
and combinations of capital doing business
must make reports to the Department of
Commerce and Labor. The end sought is
that publicity which will inform the public.
In this same connection may be mentioned
the passage of the Elkins law prohibiting
railroad companies from ravoring large
shippers by granting rebates. Twenty years
or more ago all trunk lines granted rebates
to their loss and to the building up of great
monopoIies like the Standard Oil Company.
Within a year 1t has been discovered that
certain railroad companies have been max
ing to the large meat-packing companies
able them to control the markets of the
country. Congress has voted money suffi-
cient to enable the administration to carry
on the suits 1t has begun to prevent or
break up unlawful combinations
When the Fifty-seventh Congress assem-
of devising government for the Philip
pines. Patient and intelligent consideration
resulted in a law which secures to the ma
tives popular local government under the
direction of commission Of intelligent
men, Under the administration of this law
excellent results have appeared The peo-
pie have greater freedom without the bur-
dens of the old regime. Congress has since
given the islands the gold standard. The
Chinese exclusion act has been continued
| for series of years and the immigration
laws have been amended with a view OF
keeping out OF the country the most objec-
tionable class Of Europeans. The last oil
the taxes imposed in 1898 for the expenses
OF the Spanish war was repealed during the
| first session Of the Fifty-seventh Congress
| BY law Of half dozen lines taxes aggre
eating $2oooooo were abolished and the
