The Atlanta Constitution. VOL. XXVI. NO. 32. CARDINAL SARTO MADE POPE Overcome by Emotion When Informed of His Selection—New Pope Is Man of Simple Origin and Was Greatly Beloved by the People of Venice. Where He Has Been Stationed—Coronation Exercises Held Yesterday. Rome, August 4.— Tbs conclave, after being In session for four days, today elected Gulseppa Sarto, patriarch of Venice, as pope, to succeed Leo XIII, and ho now reigns at the Vatican and over the Catholic world as Pius X. To night all Rome is illuminated In his honor. His election and the assumption of hts holy office were marked by a striking demonstration and impressive ceremonies nt the Vatican, which only ended this evening. Tomorrow the new pope, clad In his full pontifical robes, and with all the ritualistic ceremony, will receive the members of the diplomatic corps, the cardinals and the bishops, who will then offer their official homage, this notwith standing the fact that twice today the cardinals and many high officials of the vatlcan went through a similar cere mony. The election of the patriarch of Venice this morning was unanimous. After Mon day's ballots It was a foregone conclusion that he was the only candidate sufficiently acceptable to all to secure the necessary two thirds, which the laws of the church require. One of the cardinals said to tho representative of the Associated Press to night that he believed Pius X would fol low the broad lines of Leo’s policy, al though not likely to accentuate It. This v >i. es 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 prominent candidate, he had been frequently men tioned as one of the many cardinals who might be taken up as a compromise. In several respects he resembles his ven erable predecessor, notably in his reputa tion for culture and piety. Having been associated with no factions, tills fact alone won him much favor from foreigti cardinals, who were without an especial candidate. Pius X was humorously de scribed as "a country mouse, who could not possibly find his way about Rome.’ Venetians who know the new pope well say that he will soon be as much beloved as pontiff es tie was yesterday as tile be ’orcd patri* *b cf t’’.o w*or of the Adri atic. In appearance. Plus X Is a very handsome man. ’ He has a fine, erect figure, despite his 68 years, his '/ace greatly resembling that of the late Phil lips Brooks, the eminent Boston divine. When he pronounced first benedic tion to,lay -it St. Peters his vole.- rang out with splendid resonance. In every way today he showed beyond a doubt that he bus dignity and personality in keeping with the best traditions associated with tne fan., us pontiffs who for centuries have ruled the Vatican. All the m rn.bers of the sacred college declare they are verv well satisfied with the election of Cardinal Sarto, but the entl-Rampolla party consider it as their special victory When the first ballot was taken it showed that the sacred col lege was divided Into two groups, the strong one for Rampolia and another not quite f*»r Serattno \ atinu- teili. Tne other votes were scattered, but included four for Sarto. On the subsequent ballots while the two principal parties were losing ground, Sarto gradually gained, drawing strength ftom both sides as well as the neutrals, until th- ballot on Monday afternoon, when his vote had Increased to thirty seven. within six of the necessary two thirds. When the result of this ballot was an nounced in the conclave < ’ordinal Sarto wc.s so overcome with emotion and so touched by the unlooked-for confidence rep •-ed in him that he could no longer control his feelings, and then, to the surprise of all, he broke down, declaring that such responsibility and honor were t ot for him, and lie must refuse If of fered. T<-ars rolled I wn his cheeks and he seemed firm in his determination to refuse the dignity. He was so palpably sincere that consternation reigned in the < enclave and tie cardinals spent the whole evening and far into the night In convincing him that his election was the will of providence, and that he must Accept. Several times he almost fainted and had to be revived by the use of salts. He seemed happy, nut br* ken down even after all the other candidates had re tired. and on the final ballot he looked a statue of resignation when Cardinal Ca setta, as. scrutineer, was reading out the vote When forty-two votes had been re c rded fur the patriarch of Venice, the scrutineer arose. lifted his red zucchetto, raying: "Habemus pontificem.' But from many sides cardinals cried •'Continue.” As the vote approached fifty, however, the cardinals, as of one accord, surround ed the new pontiff and, according to tra dition, demanded to know if he would accept the pontificate. Cardinal Sarto's lips trembled so that he could hardly articulate, but after a visible effort he said: "If this cup cannot pass me—” there he paused, but the cardinals around him in sisted that ft was necessary for him to answer "yes" or "no." Thereupon he replied firmly. "I accept.” There is much speculation regarding the political attitude of the new pope, inas much as he has not participated in the general affairs of the church during his career. The general opinion, however, is that he will make no change in the rela tions between the Vatican and the quiri nal. except perhaps to render them more courteous. Inasmuch as he enjoys a per sonal acquaintance with the king and members of the royal family. Queen Mar gherita considers him almost a friend. One of his first steps certainly will be to ameliorate the relations of the Vatican and France and try to prevent a similar struggle against the congregations in Spain. He is not credited with being particularly favorable to Austria, as he still remembers how much his fatherland suffered under the domination of that country. Ireland on the New Pope. St. Paul, Minn..

NOW PIUS X- * TRIPLE CROWN 18 PLACED’ ON HEAD OF POPE PIUS X ! Rome. August 9.—The ceremony of tho coronatJ-m of Pope Pius X took place to- I day in the basilica of St. Peters in the I presen e of the princes and high dignita.- i ri s of the church, diplomats and Ro i man nobles, and with all the solemnity i and splendor associated with this, tin most magnificent rite of the Roman Catholic church. | As Cardinal Macchl, the dean of the ' cardinal-de.’ ons. placed th triple crown ! on the head of the venerable pontiff, tho , throng of seventy thoasami persons gath- I ered within tiie cathedral burst into un -1 restrained acclamations, the choir in ■ toned a hymn of triumph and the tel.s : of Rome rang out a joyful peal. It is fifty-seven years since the Ro- I mans and Europe assisted in siiell a fun l tion as was held In St. Peters to lay. The great basilica, popularly suppose 1 ' tee- to have b.. n quite tm . wa.- over ! flowing with humanity. The I -.pil th’one. a bewildering mixture of go.u, red and silver was erected in front of tie nI S“ a.tar. As. contrary to custom, on these I ceremonious occasions there were no gal ' leries, the basill .t bore more of its nor ; mal aspect. On tho altar, which was . <jres.se.l in white, stood the famous silver I gilt candlesticks and a magnificent cru i citlx Ail the available standing space i within the cathedral was divided into sec | lions by wooden barriers, which to acer- I tain extent kept the vast crowd in or i der. When the doors were openfxl the !n --i rush was terrific, many who started from ; the bottom of the steps, outside, were j lifted off their feet and carried into tho I cathedral. It was a great human tot rent lot loose, thousands of people rushing, crushing and squeezing amid screams, protests gesticulations and cries for help. But once in the whirlpool there was no escape and the compactness of the crowd proved to be the safety of those caught In it. Women fainted In comparatively large numbers and even men were over come by the heat, but no serious acci dents were reported. Fortunately there were very few children present. After their entrance the people had further long hours ot waiting and it Is computed that the majority were on their feet all together ten hours, five before the cere mony and another five hours while it lasted. Dressing the Fope. Inside the Vatican palace there was no less movement and bustle as the papal procession, compos*?! of about 500 persons, all of whom had gathered early in the apostolic palace, wa s formed. The pope seemed to be the only tranquil ous' among them all. He rose unusually early and took a stroll in the Vatican garden. Then he allowed himself to be dressed by •the cardinals. He evinced no nervousness, and even said, jokingly, to the master of ceremonies, who, the other day, suggest ed that he should use the plural form in speaking of himself: "Wo feel very well this morning, but we may be differ ent on returning from our coronation." Just before entering the sedia gesta toria, he asked for his spectacles, and, when the master of ceremonies discreet ly hinted that ills holiness would look better without them, he said; "J have no desire to appear what 1 am not;" and he wore them during the entire cere mony. Tlj£ procession was a long time in get ting under way, but afterwards, when it moved through the magnificent palls and corridors of the Vatican it recalled the former days when ail was color and pic turesqueness within the palace.

On the appearanc of the pon tiff himself ft seemed a.s though the peo ple would seek to carry him In their ■ firms, so great was their enthusiasm. • Cries of "Pius, our pope, our father,” l and Long live Phis," were raised not , withstanding the large placards posted all over the basilica saying: 1 'Acclamations am forbidden.” Ijeafiets to tho same effect were dis- I trlbuted among the crowd. The cries continued until the pontiff was compell , ed to rise and bless tho multitude, and ■ at the same time he made a sign for : more reverential behavior. Silence was ■ obtained when the choir announced its entrance with the resounding notes of the “Eeee Sacredos Magnus.’’ which were accompanied by the sweet notes of the silver trumpets. A quaint ceremony was then carried out. The master of ceremonies knelt three times before the pontiff, each time lighting a handful of hemp which sur mounted a. silver torch, and as the flame flashed and then died out, he chanted. "Holy father, thus passeth away the. glo ry of the world." The procession then proceeded, the pope’s face meanwhile illuminated by a smile. .At. the chapel of tne sacrament them was another halt and his holiness left the sedan chair and prayed at the altar. On reentering the chair he was carried to the chapel at St. Gregory, where he officiated at a mass, being as sisted by Cardinals Macchl, DiPiet.ro. Segna and Vannutelll. Pope Borne to Throne. I Then all the cardinals donned their sil ver capes and white mitres and the pope was borne to the throne amid renewed acclamations am! waving of handker chiefs. fans and hats The scene presented on his mounting lhe throne formed a magnificent picture to which no pen could do Justice. The central figure was the venerable pontiff Bssatel on tho thron*. Two linos of cardl- r.als, clad in silver and scarlet, reached to tho high altar with its burden of burn ing candles and sacred vessels, while around stood the papal guards, the pon tifical court, monks and officials. The cathedra] was illuminated with twinkling lights while the marble columns and walls rendered the color scheme more vivid. Over head was the most magnificent dome In the world, up to which floated the har mony of the music From the throne Pius X. surrounded by his suite, walked to the high altar stand ing over the crypt of St Peter, into which meanwhile Cardinal Maccbi descended to pray. The altar was surmounted by a baldacohlno supported by four historic bronze pillars taken from the pnthenon. The appearance of the pope In that ele vated position called forth another burst of enthusiasm. The pope then blessed the altar, and nfler s tying the "ln dulgentfam,” tho manfpb t symbol of the cord with which Christ was bound on his capture was placed with groat ceremony NEGROES ASK POPE PIUS TO GIVE THEM ASSISTANCE Colorado Springs. Col., August 5. At today’s session of the convention of the Western .egro Editors’ Asso ciation. a memorial to Pius X was adopted. It sa>s “Since there .are so many Catho lics among tho negroes of the Uni ted States, who, In common with others of their race, are subjected to unparalleled outrages, upon the slightest provocation, involving the innocent as well as the guilty, we urge bls holiness Io use his good offices among the Catholics of this country to preserve friendly rela tion between the races and to break down the spirit of unfairness so prevalent among the labor unions, composed In a great measure of Catholics, which, in many Instances deprive the negro of n opportunity to earn an honest 11 iig.” upon the pope's arm. t the same time prayers for the coronation were reetted b.y Cardinals Vannutt< i, Mocennl.

Following this. Cardinal Macchl perform ed tho rite of incensing the pope, whom he subsequently kissed three times on tho cheeks and chest, as did Cardinals Segna and Vannuttelll. Kissed Foot and Knee. On the pope’s return to the throne the cardinals offered their last, obedience to the pontiff, kissing his hanils and feet, and receiving embiace by him twice in turn. The bishops and archbishops kiss ed his foot and right knee, while the abbots kissed only his foot. The holy father then walked to the shrine of St. Peter for the culminating rites ot the extremely fatiguing ceremony. The whole sacred colege gathered about the pope, singing Palestrina’s "Corona Aurea Super t’aput Jdjus," while the choir burst forth into song. Cardinal Macchl then recite.l the "Pater Roster" and offered the following prayer: "Omnipotent and ever eternal God, dig nitary of the clergy and author ot sov ereignty, grant thy servant, Phis X, grace to tru tfnily govern Thy church so that he, who by Ihy clemency, be comes ami is crowned father ot kings and rector of all the faithful, through Thy wise disposition may govern well."

Remember thou art the talker of princes and kings, .he lector of the world, the vicar on earth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the honor and glory of all centuries." "Amen,” against burst forth from the concourse. Pope Plus was almost overcome, with scarcely any strength left to Impart the apostolic benediction. Cardinals Macchl and Segna granted a plenary Indulgence to all present and the procession then reformed and left the basilica in tne same form as It came. Strong as Pius X is physically, he supported the ordeal of bis coronation today, perhaps, with less fortitude than did Leo XIII when he sas crowned, al though Leo was merely a shadow of a man. But he possessed 3. will which noth ing could break. This evening, when the pontiff received the duke of Parma, he said to him: “Not counting the election, today was the most tremendous experience of my life. I must find away to stop the noise In the church. It Is an offense against religion." Tonight, all the churches and religious Institutions and many private houses were Illuminated In honor of the occa sion. The pontiff was so fatigued by the ceremony that the meeting of tho consistory, which was to have been held tomorrow, was postponed. RUSSIA GETS GRIP ON KOREA.
