 VIII Deliver Address.
 Cardinal Gibbons said today that on his first free Sunday he would deliver an ad- dress upon the pope, in the Cathedral in Baltimore. Another reception awaited the cardinal when ashore at Hoboken. The pier was crowded with ecclesiastical friends from this city. From the pier Cardinal Gibbons and his party went to the passionist monastery at Hoboken. This
 afternoon he will go to Brooklyn The cardinal had a pleasant voyage and he said the ocean trip had recuperated his strength which had been greatly taxed by the severe spell of fever he suffered due to the intense heat in Rome during the progress of the concave.

 Plus X. was deeply interested in the de- velopment of the church of this country and was singulary familiar with Ameri- can institutions. The cardinal had sev- eral lengthy interviews with the pope re- garding church affairs In this country
 Woul Not Discuss Policy.
 The cardinal was not inclined to discuss the probable policy of the new papal re- gime, but said that no radical changes in American church administration would ensue. He said that one of the first steps taken by Plus X was to instruct his acting secretary of state, Monslgnor Merry Del Val, to provide for an extensive exhibit of the vatican treasures at the St. Louis exposition. He said the exhibit would probably comprise some of the magnih- cent jubilee gifts of the late pontiff and a number of rare historical manuscripts of time, bring about improved relation ing to the early settlement and mission work in the Louisiana Purchase territory. most of which was penetrated by Cath ollie missionaries within a quarter of a century of hte discovery of the continent.
 Concerning the probable relations be- tween the new pope and the Italian gov- ernment, the cardinal said:
 ''The pope as patriarch of Venice was on very friendly terms with the king, but what a man does when he is a mere pri- vate in the ranks, so to speak, and when he is elevated to power and responsibility, are wholly different things. What Plus x will do In this matter is of course. un- known You may rely on it, however, there will be no sudden change. These things are not done in a way to attract attention. If change does take place. 1t will be a gradual change. The friend Illness between the vatican and the quIri- nal will grow. Plus x is not the patriarch of Venice, and while he may retain his friendly feelings for the king. these feel ings will cause no sudden change of pa pal policy, but will probably. in the course of time, bring ab out improved relation ship and better state of things. The king, believe, Is influenced by very kind ly feelings toward the pope"
 Asked about the possibility of another American cardinal being appointed Car dinal Gibbons answered
 '"rhere will be another cardinal. It would not surprise me to see the number of American cardinals augmented in the near future. But there is absolutely no truth in the cabled statement that the pope purposes to create patriarchate for the occident The statement Is ridiculous
