Rome. July 9.-The Pope rested
fairly well last night. The condition
Of his lungs is not worse During the
eai;v part of the night his holiness
was somewha restless. The d eiods
of sleep were disturbed by difficulty
in breathing. About sunrise the pom

than he had had all night.
The life OF the Poue has been hang
ing by thread, vet the wonderful
vitality of the remarkable old man is
combating complication of diseases
which would endanger strong man
in the prime of life.
A tragic impression Is made bv his
appearance ON all who are allowed to
approach him.
His lead, leaning back on the cush-
ions of his armchair. seems at times
inanimate. At these periods the Pope
looks like corpse 1t might be be-
lieved he is dead were it not fer his
heavy, irregular breathing.
