Thousands waiting in front of st.
Peters for the wisp of smoke which
would tell of the election of new
pope or the failure of the sacred col
lege to reach a decision gave mighty
shout at 1913 o'clock when thin
wisp of smoke came from the chimney
leading from the sistine chapel. It
was then Known that the Catholic
church had once more duly elected
pontiff.
As soon as the two-thirds vote for
Cardinal Ratti had been verified, Car
dinal Vannutelli, as dean of the Sacred
college, arose and proceeded to the
throne of the chosen one, accompan-
led on either side by Cardinals Logue
and Bisleti, respectively, deans of the
cardinal priests and the cardinal dea-
cons.
Ele was asked in Latin by Cardinal
vannutelli, in accordance with custom,
if he accepted the election to be SUI
rreme pontiff, and the new pope an
swered with the formal: "Since it is
the will of God, must obey"
Then the purple canopies over the
thrones of the cardinals were let
down, one by one, until only that over
the new pontiff remained. This was

The new pope then was escorted to

since the opening of the conclave,
were placed upon him. These includ-
ed the white cassock, white sash,
white stockings, red slippers, a red
and gold mozetta, and finally the stole
of red worked with gold.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
cardinals, thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
chapel.
There the cardinals, according to
their rank, and headed by Vannutelli,
began their first act of alteration to
his holiness, kissing first his feet and
then his hands, after which the pope
received them in embrace and bestow-
ed upon them his first apostolic bene-

The "fishermans ring" was placed
on his finger and he left the chapel,

served during the conclaye.

posals was reached to-day by Senator
Lusk and Speaker Machold. leaders of
the majorities in the two houses. after
conference with the Governor, who was
asked to draft home rule amendment
TO substitute for all the masures. but
declined.
This thing ought TO be done with a
great deal OF care: II Is too important
to do in snap way" the Governor told
the leaders. Following that came the
suggestion that the whole subject be
turned over to a commission OF ten or
fifteen prominent citizens, representing
the cities of the State, who would work
1t out with great care.
Report came from New York that the
conference called there by the city ad-
ministration had found the Tolbert
amendment unsatisfactory. That was
regarded as the one most likely to pass
With the prospect that the cities could
not be pleased with any OF the propo-
sails now pending, the leaders agreed it
was too late to try to reopen the whole
subject.
The decision is big disappointment
to Senator Tolbert and other home
rule advocates, who believed they were
on the way to solving the old, trouble
some question. Political leaders don't
like the outlook. They say the Re-
publican Legislature has handed to the
Democrats a good campaign issue to
be used next autumn. The home rule
groups in the two houses have been
unable to agree all session and their
constant conflict has brought about the
present situation
