Rome, August 20.?The body of P<>pe Pius X, who died this morning, has . > been laid out in state for thousands to view. The pathos of his passing has been accentuated by the death of his ister, Anna. Always she was at bis bedside in times of sickness, and" she was kneeling near him wthen lie breathed his last. Tee sister was assisted Crom the room and collapsed soon afterwards. Dr. Amioi attended her, but alarming symptoms developed, with high fever, !rorn which she did not rally. The dayvbroke cloudy and heavy af ter exquisitely clear skies. It seemed ? as t.ough nature was in morning for the Pope, most beloved by tllie people of Rome. Around the Vatican many gathered. The great doors were ha^f closed, and . those who mourned spoke in whispers. Within the Vatican preparations were in progress for the simple funeral ceremoines for the election of a new Pope. .' -s It 4s expected that the Conclave will be held early in September, even though all the Cardinals are not in Rome. The new Pope will* be the first Pontiff elected without the veto previously accorded froeign powers, as one of the first-acts of Plus X was to suppress this privilege of centuries although he owed his own election to ^ the cardinals. ] The cardinals met at the Vatican this afternoon. All wore violet caps as a sign of mourning. Cardinals Delia Volpe 2nd Merry Del Val went to the Pope's apartment to affix seals / on the late Pontiff's private papers and belongings.
