Of Joy rendered by the choir were
taken M by the assemblage in
Latin in which various accents, An :
glo- Saxon, German, French and
Scandinavian were noticeable.
Resplghi Leads Cortege.
The cortege from tho vatican to
the basilica was led by Monsignor
Corli RespiGhi, master OF ceremo-
MES. followed by the head of the
various Roman colleges and escort
ed by two swiss guards. The con-
lessor of the pontificate family,
wearing the habit Of his order,
came next; then the servants, the
"bussolanti," in their red uniforms.
Seated on the papal chair, wear
| ing a great white cape embroidered
with gold and the precious mitre,
the newly elected pope blessed the
worshipers who lined the corridors
of the vatican and the entrances of
st. Peters.
The crush inside the basilica was
terrific, many women fainting.
Crowds thrice as large as that with
in the church filled the immense
st, Peters square, and when the
pope came out on the balcony after
the coronation ceremony, it was
estimated that nearly 100000 per-
sons had gathered in the immedl-
ate vicinity of st. Peters.
The day broke clear and sharply
cold, but long before sunrise the
many who had remained around
the vatican throughout the night
were seeking admittance to the
church and pushing to the heavy
bronze doors, giving the kings
troops, who were trying to keep
order, much trouble. Many thou
sands were refused admittanee by
the inscrutable Swiss guards.
Pope Appeared Pale.
The pope appeared pale, Ill at
ease and nervous as he emerged
from the chapel of the holy sacra-
ment, seated high in the pontifical
chair, but as the ceremony pro-
ceeded, his face became flushed,
beads of perspiration standing out
on his forehead, when, few MIN
ufes after midday, Cardinal Lega,
IN the absence of Cardinal Bisletti,
dean OF the cardinal deacons,
placed the marvellous jeweled tiara
on the pontiff's head.
From the chapel of the holy
sacrament across the basilica to
the chapel of st. Gregory, the cor
tege proceeded in solemn silence,
passing through the great assem-
blage, and with little gestures Of
his left hand, as on the day of his
election when he waved to the
crowds outside of st. Peters, Plus
XII conveyed to the faithful that
he was thoroughly democratic and
one of them.
Received by Merry del Val.
At the entrance Of the basilica
the pope was received by Cardinal
Merry del Val, arch priest Of st.
Peters, who rendered homage.
Reaching the altar, the pope in
toned, Gloria in Excelsis," in loud,
clear voice. all trace of emotion
had disappeared. His holiness has
n pleasant voice and he keeps the
harmony of the music, which
seems difficult of accomplishment
for many cardinals. The responses
were made by Cardinal Vanutelli,
Cardinal Lega and Cardinal Gas
quet of England.
Cardinal Lega placed the tiara
on the head of the pontiff, and
Cardinal Merry del Val, as arch
priest greeted him and welcomed
the new pontiff into the Catholic
citys supreme church.
Then he. aided by Vannutelli,
and, in order of seniority, three
cardinals, mounted the throne and
kissed the pope's hand; following
them came the patriarchs. arch
bishops and bishops The patri-
ach of Syria, who spoke the Chal-
dean language, that in which Christ
addressed the disciples, spoke n few
words to the pope after rendering
obeisance. Although one of the
most accomplished Of linguists, the
pontiff was unable to reply to the
venerable patriarch in his own lam
guage, and responded in Latin.
Special Litany Sung.
The special litany for the pope
was sung in which the reply to the
invocation of the name of every
saint, instead of being "ora pro
nobis" is "tu illum adiuva," mean
ing thou assist him" This was
Joined in by thousands, the volume
OF sound echoing through the
cupola and high walls most i'm
pressively. Again the pope display
ed emotion.
Thus was crowned the 260th sue
cessor OF st. Peter, and the bugles
sounded the announcement to the |
world that a new pope reigned in
Rome.
