and as he does this the cardinals, who
arc all seated in their places with a
printed list of all the members of the
Sacred College before them, on paper
ruled with red lines, score one by one
the votes obtoined by each cardinal
and the third scrutator files the votes
as he receives them on string.
If any cardinal has received two.
thirds of the votes of those present in
conclave lie is pope. If no one obtains
this number they pass Immediately to
the ballot per accessum. In the bal.
lot per accessum each cardinal has the
right of voting anew for different
candidate from the one for whom be
first voted. and for this purpose, by
the aid Of the number and his motto
from the Bible, the scrutator examine:
his first ticket in order to see that be
does not vote twice for the same cardi
nal
= If in the second round of the ballot
any cardinal gets number of votes
which are sufficient when added to the
number he obtained in the first round
to make up two thirds he is pope; and
generally the popes are elected in the
second round.
SMOKE PROCLAIMS ELECTION.
After each Intellectual scrutiny the
voting papers are burned, and the peo-
pie of Rome have sometimes OWNED
that the election of the pope has not
been completed by the non-appearance
of the stumata, or smoke, from the
chimney of the conclave, which they
watch every day at the appointed
hour of voting in the morning.
But at last the Sacred College has
decided. The pope has been chosen.
There he sits still among the cardinals,
pale with emotion those who are near
him retire to distance all fall upon
their knees. The dean and the senior
cardinal priest approach him and ask
if he accepts the dignity and what
name he will take.
CHOOSES HIS OWN NAME.
The popc-elect consents and gives
out the name under which he will be
known as the pope. He is led behind
the altar, where pontifical robes Of
white are in readiness and slippers en-
broidered with the cross of gold. He
is placed in the chair of St. Peter. The
cardinal and dean kneel and kiss his
foot and his right hand; the pope lifts
them up and kisses them on both
cheeks (osculum pacis). The other
cardinals follow and chant "Ecce Sac
erdos Magnus." This is the ceremo-
ny Of the first alteration, after which
the dean, preceded by sacristans and
the papal cross, proceeds to the log
gia of St. Peters and announces to the
assembled people the name of their
new pope. The bells of the Roman
Church ring throughout the city, and
formerly salute of 100 guns was fired
from the castle Of St. Angelo.
The pope is then placed anew on the
altar and the cardinals proceed to
second alteration, after which he is
carried from the Pauline Chapel to St.
Peters, where he receives the hon.
ages of the cardinals for third time
before the altar of the confession, and
with the miter on his head gives bene-
diction to the people, afterward retir-
ing to the papal apartments in the
Vatican palace.
A minute study of these conclaves
could nnt be made without diverging
far and wide and diving deep into the
troubled steam Of history and erudi-
tion, but even superficial inspection
of them teaches one thing: that it is
for the most part beyond the power
of circulation to divine beforehand who
will be the pope of a conclave. In
deed, generally the cardinal who has
been the least thought of before the
least least thought Of before the con-
conclave has come out pope ritter it.
They sat together by the sad sea
