CARDINALS HURRYING TO
ROME FROM ALL PARTS OF
WORLD To CONCLAVE.

Rome, July a.-The Vatican has received
dispatches from all parts of the world
from the Cardinals abroad stating that they
are leaving Immediately for Rome. One
Of the most distant Cardinal Moran. Arch
bishop OF Sydney New South Wales. tele-
graphs that he sails to-day. AS he will
travel half way round the globe It is
doubted that he will arrive In time for the
conclave.
Some OF the authorities hold that each Of
the Cardinals has a right to demand the
postponment of conclave TO permit him
to reach Rome but it is doubtful II the
selection OF Pope will be deferred on ao-
count Of any one Cardinal. 1t is recalled
that the American Cardinal. McCloskey. ar
rived too late to participate in the con-
clave which selected Pope Leo.
It Is an interesting fact that Archbishop
Farley, then secretary to Cardinal McClos-
key. was also too late to participate as q
secretary in the conclave, but Archbishop
Farley took part in the ceremony OF Pope
Leo's coronation and. through @ singular
coincidence. his nomination as Archbishop
OF New York occurred at what was proba-
blv the Pontif's last Cons.story.
Qualification was expressed by the Amer
lean preiates here on learning that Cardinal
Gibbons sailed to-day for Rome. AS the
conclave will not take place until at least
ten days after the demise OF the Pope, his
EmiEence will arrive In ample time to par
tic;pate. Outside OF Americans Cardinal
Gibbons's coming excites widespread inter-
est, as he is regarded as the representa-
tive Of the modern progressive spirit of the
United States. 1t has been recognized that
one OF the chief issues OF the conclavc will
be between the advocates OF modern prog
ress and the supporters OF conservative ira
ditions.

POPE LEO HAS MADE ALL
ARRANGEMENTS FOR HIS
FINAL RESTING PLACE.

Rome. July o.-Tflat the Pope fully real
lies that mis- end cannot long be deferred Is
shown by the attention he has given during
the last few days to the details of his final
resting place. Il Is well known that he mas
discussed his tsstamentary dispositions and
expressed his wishes as to the place and
manner Of his funeral
Shortly before he was taken III the Pom
tih repeated TO Cardinal Satolli his desire
to be buried in the Church Of st. John Lat
eran.
The spot he designated Is on the left Of
the apse above the entrance to the sacristy
corresponding TO the opposite niche In
which is the monument erected by himself
In 1881 10 Pope Innocent III.
1t is said that a statue of Pope Leo. form
ing part of the monument. has already been
made. IN other respects. the tomb will re-
semble that of Innocent III. consisting OF
sa-cophagus with a bas-relief, two inches,
two statues and two meGallions.

He has an eye open for all the world in his
churchmanship. He is continually looking
TO America and other countries outside OF
Italy.
The present vitality OF the Pope is re-
markabie. and the clearness OF his mind IS
amazing in the extremity OF his illness. He
always had most prodgious memory and
was always a profound student.
Il trust that there is still a ray OF hope
and that l shall see him in life again
Cardinal Gibbons : Gs years id. he was
created Cardinal Prizes, by the Pope On June

Is little likelihood Of an American b=!ng Sc
lected to the papacy. but 1t Is said his name

ing himself that the tradition that to'

longer carries any force.

OF hours. With this being the prevalent
view. every detail for conducting the affairs
OF the church during the interregnum and
for carrying out the election Of Pope Leo's
successor is systematically being arranged
Following advices from the Vatican the
Cardinals throughout the world are hurry

OF conclave for the choice Of a Pope.
These preparations are undertaken in a
spirit Of profound grief and as the perform

NO MODERN APPLIANCES
IN THE PONTIFF"S SICKROoM.
Throughout to-day the court Of the Vati-
can leading 10 the Popc's apartments has
been thronGed with distinguished visitors
seeking information as TO the Pope's condi

LOCATION Of LOOPS
MAY Be CHANGED,
Street Car Terminals at Worlds
Fair Affected by Question of
Obtaining Land.

The question Of the exact location Of the
Transit Company loops at the principal
Worlds Fair entrance. with relation to the
Wabash elevated tracks and station. is no,
yet absolutely settled.
President D. p Francis Of the Exposi.
ton said last night that. in general, the plan
for the Wabash and street railway terrni-
nails had been decided but intimated tha,
the exact location Of the Transit loops re-
mained an open question.
The reason for this, it Is understood, is
that all OF the ground necessary for the
location of the loops has not been secured
10 place the loops north of the Wabash.
where, it was understood by President RAM
sey Of the Wabash. they would be in
stalled, involves the requirement of more
space than now is available
Negotiation is now on to obtain the need
ed land, and, it IS said. no trouble is ex-
pected. But should hitch occur, the plans
will be modified. The cars, probably. would
then run under the Wabash. and the loops
would be installed south Of the railroad
station.
a. B. du Pont, general manager of the
Transit Company, said that his company
deferred entirely to the Worlds Fair au-
thorities in the matter of terminals
Il was Of the impression" said he. after
the conference Wednesday between the
Fair. railroad and street car officials that
no final decision with regard to our loops
had been reached. If the Fair places us
either north or south Of the Wabash. we
acQuiesce, of course.
To go north means a change in the
height Of the elevated railroad tracks and
depression of De Balivicre avenue, SO
that our cars could dip down and 20 under
the elevated structure"
PRESIDENT RAMSEY'S STATEMENT.
In an interview on the Worlds Fair ter
minal and station, President Ramsey of the
Wabash Railroad. said yesterday:
practically all that can be said about the
morning.
We have no agreement with the street.
railway officials in regard to terminating
their loop on the north size of our tracks,
but there were several Of the officials at
the meeting, held at the Fair Grounds yes-
terday. and none Of them expressed disap-
probation of the plan as outlined.
We have no plans under Contamination
for changing our tracks, either by depress-
ing or elevating them at Union avenue or
other grade crossings.
My plan of changing the line OF ou,
road did not seem to meet with approval
and the matter has been dropped Ne ex-

How long this agonizins period OF sus-
| pense will last not even the attending doc
tors dare to say.
No night bulletin was issued, but at l2:la
| this morning it was learned that the con-
| dition of the Pontiff had not changed since
| the 7:30 o'clock bulletin, which announced
| that the patients state was grave. and at
| which hour Doctor Lapponi had declared his

At midnight a report coming from the
Vatican itself gained currency that Doctor
Mazzoni had again operated on the Pope
and extracted serum which had again gath
cred in the pleural cavity. The representa-
tive of the Associated Press imnedia tely
went to see the illustrious surgeon and
found him at his home at 1:3o this morning.
Although extremely tried Doctor Mazzom
allowed himself TO be interviewed and said:
"It IS untrue that new operation mas
been performed. 1 was with the Pope from
Ii o. m. until after midnight and found his
general condition stationary. no change haV-
Ing taken place since this afternoon, when
the consultation with Doctor Rosslni was
held To strengthen the patients heart and
help the circulation OF the blood. injected
camphor and caffeine after which the Pope,
who seemed somewhat relieved, said he re-
membered being treated with Raspail water
on a camphor basis when he was Nuncto at
Brussels sixty years ago.
MAY DECIDE TODAY TO
PERFORM SECOND OPERATION.
In reply to question. Doctor Mazzoni
replied:
Il really cannot say whether the serum in
the pleural cavity has increased since the
consultation this afternoon, as I did not
examine his Holiness for such a purpose.
1t must be understood that the Pope is still
too frail to be handled like other people.
Besides his thorax, through old age, has
| become bent in such way that the right
side, where pneumonia was first detected.
| curves out in very pronounced manner,
| while the left side curves in.
I'm to-morrow's visit attention will be
especially centered on the progress in the
secretion of serum Then a decision will be
| taken as to whether a new operation is
necessary
Doctor Mazzoni ended by ridiculing the
F, criticisms, objections and advice which he
said people. most of whom are famous only
for never having been heard Of allow
themselves to offer, even from abroad.
many of those persons having only seen
the Pope in photographs.
THE greatest accusation is that pleu-
risy was not discovered in time." he said.

II visited the Pope for the first time on
Sunday. On Monday evening l discovered
the fluid and on Tuesday l removed it. Any
student of medicine knows that sometimes

EARLY HOPES QUICKLY
DISPELLED BY COMPLICATIONS.
The condition Of Pope Leo at times yes
ter,lav morning seemed so favorable that
the hopeful Doctor Mazzon! and the more
conservative Lapponi united in expressing
the belief that there were some slight pros
poets of recovery. but within few hours
these brighter prospects disappeared before
the most alarming conclusions reached after
the lengthy consultation of the doctors.
Their hopes had been inspired largely by
the Pontiffs outward evidence of v!gor. as
he was able to rise. walk and command all
his faculties. but the later consultation dis
closed that these outward evidences of
strength were entirely deceptive. as the real
danger consisted in the gradual internal
progress of the nsidious diseases.
The mere fact of the consultation, In It
self. gave rise to the gloomiest forebodngs
Indeed. this was the first actual consulta-
ton. as the previous frequent meetings of
the doctors were not regarded as formal
consultations. To-day. however. Doctor
Rossoni. the distinguished specialist of the
Baccelli school. was called into a consulta-
tion lasting two hours. during which every
phase of the patients case was minutely
gone over
ORDINARY CALCULATIONS DO
NOT APPLY IN THIS CASE"
The conclusions announced In the 80
o'clock bulletin showed that liquid is again
gathering, and that the Pope's condition is
grave.
Following the issuance OF this bulletin. the
doctors freely expressed their personal con-
v!ctions regarding the extreme gravity Of
the case Doctor Lapponi said. without
qualification, that the patients condition
was beyond hope.
He did not expect final collapse tonight,
but rather gradual sinking until the end
came. How long the sufferer may last the
doctors will not venture any prediction.
Ordinary calculations. the physicians say,
fail to apply to this extraordinary case
One of thepl remarked to-day:
Here is a man almost a hundred years
old. retaining all his mental and most of
his physical faculties. and bravely COM
batting the approach of death Although
the conditions change from hour to hour,
the essential conditions of mental alert
ness and physical vigor continue unbroken.
Never yet has there been the slightest
lapse into incoherency."
GENERAL BELIEF THAT POPE'S
DEATH IS A MATTER OF HOURS.
Whatever may be the outcome. the Vat
lean world has fully made up its mind
that the demise of the Pope is only a ques-
