ROME, Sept. 1.—Although the.
Cardinals of the Church of Rome are
now engaged in the preliminary
duties of electing one of their num
ber as Pope all have not yet arrived.
Seve.ral are ill and others have been
delayed but will reach here this
evening or tomorrow. The Cardinals
have assembled in the Sistine Chapel
with all the entrances walled up
with the exception of one great door
known as the ‘‘Sala Regia,” and this
is carefully guarded. Two ballots
will be taken each day, one in the
morning and one in the evening,
and it is the prevailing opinion that
a Pope will be elected before the
week is out. Of four prominent
Cardinals from Italy it is thought
that one will be elected. These are
Cardinal Antonio AgUardi, Cardinal
Domenico Ferrata, Cardinal Gae
tano De Lai and Cardinal Pie.tro
Mam.
The actual election ceremony is
quite simple. Each Cardinal writes
in a disguised hand on a ballot
paper the name of his particular
selection for the high office, which
he then deposits in a chalice or urn
placed upon a special altar. Before
doing so, however, he turns to his
colleagues and solemnly swears ne
has voted according to his firm be
lief, without fear or favor, and in
the true interests of the Church of
Rome only.
There are three official scrutators
who, when all the Cardinals have
voted, and after a short prayer,
take all the ballot papers from the
chalice and read aloud to the, con
clave the names recorded. The
number of votes required to elect
a Pope is two-thirds of the ballot.
Immediately the two-thirds ma
jority has be.en recorded for any
candidate a bell is rung oy the
junior cardinal deacon. In response
the secretary of the Sacred College
enters with the master of cere
monies, after which the cardinal
dean approaches the Pope that is to
be and inquires whether he accepts
the papacy. Receiving an answer in
the affirmative, he next inquires by
what name, the new pontiff intends
to be known.
