Rene, July l5.-Another remarkable
rally IN Pope Leo's condition occurred
yesterday afternoon after morning
in the course OF which his holiness suf-
fered spells of delirium. and at times
his strength sank to the lowest ebb,
and now he lies in no worse condition
than he was on Monday evening, ex-
oept for the steady diminution of his
strength. Monsignor Bisleti master OF
the chamber, visited the sick room just
after midnight, and on emerging stated
that the pontin's condition was un-
changed. A little later the pope fell
into a sleep which was fairly tran
quill although the patients respiration
is troublesome.
This morning the general condition
Of the pope was almost unchanged.
Periods Of restlessnoss succeeded per-
iods of drowsiness.
Yesterdays rally was characteristic
cally opposed to every medical theory,
and consisted in getting out of bed, on
which two hours previously the pope
himself had made all preparations for
death. Unsatisiied with this exhibit
tion OF vitality, he transacted private
business and received four cardinals,
with whom he talked in an animated
way. In fact, Pope Leo's record for
yesterday. little of which appeared in
last nights official bulletin, would be
Incredible if it were not confirmed by
the doctors and cardinals present in
the sick chamber None seem more
perplexed than the doctors themselves.
Dr. Lapponi said frankly: Il cannot
imagine how the pope manages TO keep
alive"
According to the physicians the pope
may die at any moment, even in the
midst Of one of those extraordinary in
tervals when his mind and body pre-
sent a comparatively sound appear
Bnce. All those around the patient
have long since ceased TO hold definite
opinions regarding the duration of the
pontins existence. The slow but pro-
gressive dimunition of the strength Of
the august patient foretells the an
preaching end of the struggle with
death, but the doctors will not venture
10 predict how near the end is. Con-
slant relapses, they say, such as
created alarm early yesterday, are
gradually wearing down the pope's
constitution. which seems immune
from any specific disease. Most persons
are inclined to the idea that Pope Leo
may go through perhaps two or three
repetitlons of yesterdays ups and
downs, till, as DIR. Rossoni puts it, his
pulse stops forever"
Three causes may accelerate the end,
viz: Continued inability to take nour-
ishment which was exhibited yester-
day; sudden heart failure, or the pro-
gression of pleuric disease.
The latter is thought the least prob
able. AS day succeeds day it becomes
pathologicaly clearer that it is a case
of a very old man dying because he has
lived his allotted time.
During the past "a hours the pope
has complained of being unable to
keep still and constantly asked for
things which he refused when brought.
It is often necessary to raise him, as
he becomes fatigued through lying,
and an arrsnRement has been adjust,
