ROME, Feb. THE condition Of the Pope
changed seriously for the worse during the
night, and His Holiness has already received
the last sacraments. The Cardinal Vicar has
been summoned to the Vatican, and an order
has been given to prevent any person not
specially authorized, from having access to
the Pope's apartments. Egress from the
Vatican is also prohibited. The foreign car
dinals have been summoned by telegraph to
Rome. Prayers for the Pope's recovery are
being offered in 1.-THE churches in Rome.
ROME, p. m.-The Pope died at 4:57 this
afternoon.
ROME, Feb. 1.-The Pope's legs were SO
much better yesterday he was able to
walk a few steps. It is believed this exertion
was fatal. A change for the worse occurred
at o'clock in the morning, when the death
agony commenced. The Cardinals were as
AOSAAA,
all together with the dignitaries of the Papal
court, were at his bedside at the moment of
death. Cardinal Panebianco admin
istered the last sacraments. All ambas-
sadors accredited to the Vatican called to
make inquiries during the morning. King
Humbert also constantly sent for informa-
ton. No one is now admitted to the Vati-
can except the pontifcial chamberlains, who
are charged with the Office of guarding the
corpse. Monseignor Simmni, cardinal sec
retary of state, ordered the OsserDatore, the
Roman daily organ of the Vatican, to sus-
pend publication until tomorrow. The city
is perfectly tranquil. The authorities have
taken all measures they deem necessary.
The police and municipal guards prevent
approach to the Vatican.
INCIDENTS OF LAST HOURS.
LONDON, Feb. 8.-There can be no doubt
of the Pope's death. The morning journals

Rome. A special from Rome states the news
of the Pope's death has already been official
ly announced, and gives the following par
ticulars:
The Pope at o'clock Wednesday night
felt sudden sufocation. He rallied severa
times, but said to his physician,
"DEATH WINS THIS TIME
He was alternately lucid and wandering
His last moments we're lucid. He said
"Guard the church I loved so we'll ant
sacredly.'' The Immediate cause of deatl
was the closing of the wound in the LEI

The conclave has commenced. Cardina
Simoeni has demanded troops and the gov

ambassadors accredited to the Vatican hav

The Italian government insures the inde

FURTHER DETAILS.
LONDON, Feb. 8.-There seems to be col
siderable conflict of statement as to the a
tual hour of the Popes death. The Tim
dispatch from Rome states that at o'clot
in the afternoon an official dispatch W
sent to the chamber of deputies announcer
that the Pope died at 2:3O p. M. Up to su
set the hour of the death was still uncertai
His death was denied by Vatican Partisan
althoug Oh they agreed that the Pope was d
ing or could not live through the day. T.
SACRAMENT WAS EXPOSED
in St. Peters, but covered with white Y
onlv. We were told that the veil was to
removed after the Popes death. The v
was not removed at 5 p. NJ possibly from
vain desire to conceal the event. The b
racks surrounding the Vatican are
CROWDED WITH TROOPS.
This precautlon is superauous. No otl
movement than that of curiosity is perez
tible among the people. The FanJue
positively announces the Pope dead at S
D. M, while the Renter Telegram says
o. m. A special dated Rome, Thurse
night, says p. m. the Pope was in artic
mortSs. He appeared dead to all but
physicians, who could detect feeble osci
ton of the heart. In all the churches
sacrament has been exposed.
