Dense That Women Fainted The
Pope was Prostrated After the Cer
emonies and Had to Be Disrobed
and Put to Bed.
Rome, March 3. The pope cele
brated tho twenty-fifth anniversary of
his coronation today with great solera
nlty. St. Peter's was crowded, Bcores
of Americans being present. Inside
the great edifice, at the singing of the
Te Deum, the scene was one of mar
volous brilliancy. The papal noble
guards were resplendent in their new
uniforms, consisting of purple doub
lets, white leather breeches, high
patent leather boots, and polished
steel helmets with white horse-hair
tufts. A scoro of members of the Sac
red College were present, their red
robes offering a most pleasing con
trast to the black habits of the crowd
of priests. It is estimated that ovor
50,000 spectators assembled In the ba
silica.
The ceremonies were conducted
during a torrential downpour of rain
Sixty-five thousand pilgrims occupied
tho standing room before St. Peters.
It was the most notable crowd seen
in Rome for years, and the largest
number of cardinals seen at one time
in half a century.
After the ceremony there was an
impromptu demonstration. The pope
had gone to a window overlooking the
piazza to see the people come out of
the church. His Holiness iwas -recog'
nlzed and In a twinkling the great
space was crowded with people flut
tering handkerchiefs, waving their
hats and chering the venerable pon
tiff.
The pone, surrounded by the car
dinalB and dignltraries of the pontiff
cal court, was carried to and from tho
basilica in the Sedia Gestatorla. By
request of the pope himself, the peo
pie were allowed to throng the vari
ous halls and witness the impressive
procession to and from the basilica.
Late in the day an official bulletin
was issued. by Dr. Lapponl statlnE
that the aged pontiff had withstood
the fatigues of the day remarkably
well.
He looked better than he has for a
fortnight past, though his face wan
pale and drawn, and his voice was
hoarse. Before leaving his apart
ments this morning he said: "After
this I die happy."
After returning to his apartments
the pope was alarmingly prostrated,
but did not faint. Lapponl, fearing
that his patient would lose conscious
ness, Insisted that he should go to
bed at once. He was so weak that
he was unable to assist in disrobing.
The crowd inside of the cathedral
was so dense that a woman in the
gallery fainted. In falling she knock
eel against several others, with such
force as to precipitate them on the
heads of those beneath them. None
were seriously hurt.
