ror-strlrken (tin no, whispering to Dr.
LapponnI: "Shall I ever be stile to go
through with It?"'
The reople In the basilica had In the
meantime become Impatient, and when the
gleaming croa which preceded the proces
sion was seen It ws greeted with ap
plause. On the appearance of the pontiff
himself It seemed as though the people
would Ilk to carry him In their arms, so
great was their enthusiasm. Cries of
"Plus, our pops and father," and "Long
live Plus X," were raised, notwlthstand-v.
tng the large placards distributed all about
saying, "Acclamations are forbidden."
Leaflets to the same effect were distribut
ed among the crowd. The cries continued
until the pontiff was compelled to rise and
bless the. multitude, and at the same time
he made a sign for mors reverential be
havior. Silence was obtained when the choir an
nounced Its entrance with the resounding
notes of "Ecce saccerdos magnus," which
were accompanied by the sweet notes of
the silver trumpets.
Surrounding Pope Plus were the noble
guard in new red uniforms snd gleaming
helmets, carrying drawn swords, while In
front marched the cardinals, a gorgeous bit
of color, with many handsome faces among
them, the cardinal bishops In their robes,
the cardinal priests wearing chausables and
the cardinal deacons In their dernatlca.
Chaplala Bears Crews.
Another figure which evoked mumurs of
admiration and craning of necks, was the
chaplain In his crimson robe, proudly bear
ing the cushion on which reposed the fam
ous triple crown, lie was accompanied by
the pontiflclal jeweler and a special de
tachment of Swiss guards, and was fol
lowed by the , choir of the Slstlne chapel,
which sang s it went along.
Before leaving the Vatican the pops went
to the Slstlne chapel to worship before
the sacrament exposed therein, thence
passing through the Sala Regla and the
Conatantlne staircase Into the portico of
the basilica. He there seated himself on
a throne erected directly before the holy
door and surrounded with seats for ths
members of the sacred college, the chapter
f St. Pater's and the papal court.
At the right of the throne stood Prince
Orslnl, the assistant to ths papal throne,
who withdrew his recent resignation In
order to participate at the function. Im
mediately beside the pope were the major
domo, Mgr. Caglano; the master of the
chamber, Mgr. Blsletl; the master of cere
monies, Mgr. Rlggl, and Dr. Lapponnl.
The pontiff was exceedingly pale, but
composed. The low celling sent back an
exquisite echo of the "Tu est Petrus," sung
by the Slstlne choir, whose voices were
heard outside in the plana of St. Peter's.
Cardinal Rampolla advanced with dignity,
knelt and kissed the pontiff's foot. Then
he presented In a firm voice the wishes and
greetings of the chapter of St. Peter's, say
Ing: "I offer an act of obedience to your
holiness and wish you a prosperous and
glorious pontificate."
The cardinal recalled that the bodies of
the first pope and of St. Paul rested In the
blslllca, which he said was a good augury
for the work of the new pope of the Cath
olic church.
The pontiff was visibly touched, and, an
werlng in a trembling voice, warmly
thanked ths chapter for their good wishes,
Symbolical Ceremony Complete.
A quaint ceremony was then carried out.
The master of the ceremonies knelt three
times before the pontiff, each Urns lighting
a handful of hemp which surmounted a
silver torch and as the flam flashed and
then died out he chanted:
"Holy father, thus passes away ths glory
of the world."
The procession then proceeded, the pope's
face meanwhile Illuminated by a smile. At
the ohapel of the sacrament there was an
other halt, and his holiness left the sedan
chair and prayed at ths altar. - -r
On again entering the chair hs was car
ried to ths chapel of St.' Gregory, where he
officiated at 4 mass, being aaalated by Car
finals Macchl, Dl PletrOj, Begra and Van
nutelll. - Then all the cardinals donned
their silver copes and white mantles and
the pops was borne to the throne amid
renewed acclamations and waving handker
chiefs, fans snd hats.
Ths scene presented on his mounting ths
throne was magnificent. ' The central
figure was the venerable pontiff seated on
the throne. Two lines of cardinals clad
In sliver and scarlet reached to the high
altar with Its burden of burning candles
and sacred vessels, while around stood ths
papal guards, the pontifical court, monks
and officials. '
The cathedral was Illuminated with
twinkling lights, whlls the marble columns
and walls rendered the color scheme more
vivid. Overhead was ths most magnificent
dome in the world.
Roy aa Pallium Bestowed.
From the throne Plus X surrounded by
his suits, walked to the nigh altar, stand
Ing ovsr the crypt of St. Peter, Into which
meanwhile Cardinal Macchl descended to
pray. The altar was surmounted by
baldacchlno supported by four historic
bronxe pillars taken from the Parthenon,
The appearance of ths pope In that elevated
position called forth another burst of en
thuslasm. Thsn the pope blessed the altar
and after saying the "Indulgentlam," ths
maniple, a symbol of the cord with which
Christ was bound on his capture, was
placed with great ceremony on the pope's
arm. At the same time prayers for. the
coronation were recited by Cardinals Van
Itutelll, Mocennl, Agile rill and Batolll.
Returning from the crypt Cardinal Ma
ehettl placed on the shoulders of the pope
ths pontiflclal palladum and attached it
with the golden Jewelled pins, saying:
'Receive this sarred pallium as a svmbol

ties. St. Peter and St. Paul, and ths holy
Mass was then celebrated with great
pomp and ceremony, the Voice of ths pops
becoming firmer and mors sonorous, until
It was audible even In the furthermost
corner of the Immense church. Following
this, Cardinal Macchetl performed ths
rite of Incensing the pope, whom he sub
eequently kissed three times on the cheeks
and chest, as did Cardinals 8egna and
Yannutellt.
Cardinals Offer Obedience.
On the pope's return to the throne the
cardinals . offered . their last obedience
kissing his hands and fest and receiving
an embrace by him twice In turn. The
bishops and archbishops kissed his foot
and right knee, while the abbots klsaed
only his foot. The holy father then walked
to the shrine of Bt, Peter for ths culmlnat-
ing (ilea 01 me aairemeiy fatiguing cere
mony.
The whole sacred college gathered about
him, singing Pslestrina's "Corona Aurea
Super Caut Ejus," while the choir burst
forth Into aong. Cardinal Macchl then re

"Amen," "reng out from all the comers
of the cathedral, from the choir, ths peo
ple, the clergy, and the patricians.
Mitre aad Crowa Bestowed.
Cardinal Detgan then presented the pon
tifical mitre, and Senior Cardinal Deacon
Macchl placed on ths whits head the triple
crown. At this moment ths church wss
filled with ths ringing of bells, the blow
Ing of silver trumpets, the' triumphant
strains of the. choir, and the acclamations
of the multitude, which could no longer
be repressed.
When comparative silence had been re-
tored Cardinal Macchl addresses ths pops
In Latin,' as follows:
Receive the tiara ornamented with three
crowns. Remember, thou srt the father of
princes and kings, the rector of the world.

chorus, f
Pope Plus wss almost overcome, and had
scarcely strength left to Impart ths epos-
tollo benediction. Cardinals Macchl and
Segna granted a plenary Indulgence to all
present, and the procession then re-formed
nd left the basilica In ths same form as
It came. N
Ths pons was visibly fatigued, and his
right hand shook as he raised It time after
time to bestow his blessing. When ths
ceremony was over all the exits to ths
basilica were opened, and within less than
n hour the vast cathedral was empty.
Cardinal Gibbons, after participating In
the coronation ceremonies, startad for the
villa of the American college at Castle
Oaldolfo, accompanied by Mgr. Kennedy,
rector of the oollege. The cardinal will
spend a few days resting.
Strong as Plus X Is physically, he sup

fortitude than Leo XIII did when he was
crowned; although Leo was merely a
shadow of a man, he possessed a will

ths pontiff received the duke of Parma,
he said to him: "Not counting the elec
tion, today wag ths most tremendous ex
perience of my life. I must find a way to
stop ths noise In the church. It Is an of
fense against religion."

PRESIDENT READS FAKE ATTACK
Learns from Pa pars that Ha Pro-
vented Children's Outing; os
White Hoose Groaads.
OYSTER BAT, Aug. . President Roose
velt passed the day quietly at Sagamore
Hill with Baron von Sternberg and mem
bers of his family. Mrs. Roosevelt and
the children attended services at Christ
church In the morning.
Ths president read In the newspapers
today that ha had prevented several hun
dred children from having an outing In the
White House grounds at Washington, be
cause the color Una had been drawn by
the managers of the affair. It was said
an appeal had been made to htm to. with
draw his objections to the use of ths
grounds for the picnic, hut he had paid
no attention to It. As a matter of fact, the
president knows nothing of the affair, ex
cept what he has resd In today's news
papers, and had not heard of It before. As
a matter of custom the White House
grounds are not opened for children's out
ings except on Easter Monday, when the
egg rolling usually occurs. If an appll
cation were mads at any ether time It
would be a matter of routine which would
probably not reach the president In any
event. It did not reach him In this case.
It Is understood ths president may soon
appoint Charles McClelland, a senator of
the Twenty-second New Tork district, to
a position on the board of general ap
praisers. Under the law the appointee
must be a democrat. Senator McClelland
has Influential support for the appointment,

SOFIA. Bulgaria, Aug. (."Nothing can
end the present revolution in Macedonia
until -our national aspirations are satis
fled or those fighting to attain them - are
exterminated." This was the concluding
sentence of a statement made today by
the Macedonian committee at the revolu
tionary headquarters here.
Boris Barafoff, the head and front of
the movement. Is with the insurgents In
Macedonia. His representstlves here bo-
lleve the desired results, will be feaped
through the present movement.
Seek Safety for Christinas.
A Macedonian committeeman thus ex
plained the rising:
We are trvina- to win reform which will
aanure to the Christian population of Mace
donia security for their lives and property
and the right to participate In the admin
istration of the country.
The present revolutionary organization
came into existence nine years ago when
th persecution of the Bulgarian popula
tion of Bulgaria became flagrant. Today
mi xubiuuiiik im einumiTU ill inv muvo-
ment and, although it was not Intended to
strike so soon, Because the preparations
were not sufficiently completed, the recent
outrages of the Turks, the massacres of
the Innocent, the filling of the prisons
with the peaceful rural population and the
extorting of heavy fines from others under
various pretexts so exasperated all that
the Insurrection was decided on, no matter
what might be the outcome.
The nghtlng area Is widening and will
gradually embrace every village in Mace
donia until the autonomy of the country
has been gained by force of arms or by
the Intervention of those great powers
which desire peace. Not until then will
we lajr down our arms.
The Macedonian revolutionary committee
Is now drawing up and will shortly cir
culate a declaration addressed to the
powers, explaining Macedonian grievances
and the objects of the revolution.
Bulgarian Government Moves.
The Bulgarian minister is clcsly watching
the situation in Macedonia a)d has decided
to Increase the frontier forces.
Orders here have been telegraphed to the
frontier authorities to redouble their vigil
ance and prevent all unauthorized Individ
uals and Insurgent bands frpm crossing the
Turkish frontier.
The foreign minister has informed the
representatives of the powers that ths
government will use Its utmost endeavors
to quell all unrest In Bulgaria occasioned
by the events In Macedonia, but the powers
must do their part and take the "necessary
steps to Induce the ports to stop the per
secutlon of the Innocent and the employ
ment of Bashl Bazouks In suppressing the
revolution.
"The massacres likely to follow It, the
Bashl Bazouks, are turned loose,'" added
the minister, "are liable to precipitate a
movement in Bulgaria In favor of the rev
olution, and thus force the , hand of the
government." ..

Some Oreek peasants were also, killed In
the vlllayet of Monaatlr and the vlllayet
of Okhrlda Insurgents likewise attacked
some Museelmen villages.
They everywhere displayed rage and fe

The government is taking every measure
possible to suppress the rising. Eight
more battalions have been ordered to the

Durbla Blames People.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9. When seen at
his residence tonight regarding the letter
from President Roosevelt, Governor Dur
bln said:
I naturally feel gratified over ths com
mendation which the chief executive of the
country has seen fit to bestow on my
actions in connection with the trouole at
Evansvllle and I certainly regard It as a
treat comoliment to have his approval.
In mv opinion, however, it is tot for the
executive of the state to meet conditions
to which he refers as much as it is tor
the people themselves. Legislatures may
mak'. laws, but their enforcement lies, alter
all, with the people for whoee government
they are made. There could bo no reason
able complaint of the executive or the
courts of this state on the grounds of non
enforcement of law, for there have been
eight executions for capital offenses dur
ing my administration, a record In that
respect that has never been equalled in the
state.
But It was not a race problem at Evans
vllle after the negro Lee was removed to
Vincennes. The mob assaulted the state
when it assaulted its representatives as
they existed In the militia.
I am not prepared to say that it was a
wsr on the colored race, but rather an
evidence of a general contempt for the
orderly way of enforcing the law.
