official homage, this Notwithstanding
the fact that twice yesterday cardinals

decided but the impression that pre-
walls il viii occur Aug. 2. Although

the world 40 minutes later by the APP
uearsnce of the new pope at the viii

Election Unanimous.
Election of the patriarch of Venice
was unanimous. After Mondays bal
lots il was a f0regOne conclusion that
he was the only candidate sufficiently
acceutabIe to al 10 secure the neces-
sarv two-thirds, which the laws OF the
church require. One OF the cardinals
said To the Associated Press last night
thar he believed Plus Y would follow
the broad lines Of LeO's policy, al
though not likely to accentuate IL. This
voices the general feeling here, which
is one Of satisfaction.
Man Of Simple origin.
The new pOntiff is a man of simple
origin and although not a very prom
inent candidate, had Leen frequently
mentioned as one OF the many card
iuaIs who might be taken up as a COM
promise. In several respects he re-
sembIes his venerable predecessor,
notably I'm his reputation for culture
and piety. Having been associated
with no factions. this fact alone won
him much favor from the foreign car
f'uals who were without an especial
candidate.
Very Handsome Man.
The Venetians who know the new
uoUe well say he viii soon be as much
beloved as pontin as he was yesterday
as the beloved patriarch Of the poor of
the Adriatic. In appearance Plus X Is
a very handsome man. He has a fine,
erect figure. despite his 6S years.
When he pronounced his first bene-
dictlon yesterday at St Peters his
voice rang out with splendid resOn-
ancs. In every way yesterday he
showed beyond doubt he has dignity
and personality I'm keeping with the
best traditions associated with the IA
nous pOntiffs who for centuries have
ruled in the vatican.
No Change Of Policy.
Rome. Aug. 5.-The Lapatria saws:
THE majority declares we believe that
Sarto is a man OF lofty intellect,
vast knowledge and exemplary piety.
So much the better. In any case il is
sure he viii not introduce any substan-
tfaI innovation OF relations OF the
church and state and viii not import
any change i'm the vatican policy. He
win continue 10 remain shut up. a
prisoner of himself. in the royal dur
