POPE AGAIN
VERY FEEBLE
After Valiant Rally the Aged Pom
tiff Once More Sinks Into a
Deathlike Stupor
VITALITY Is FAST DIMINISHING
Medical Science Has at Last Reached
the Limit Of Its Efficiency and
the End is Near.

Rome. July 13. 2:15 a. m.-"While
there is life there is hope" was all
the consolation DR.. Lapponi could give
tonight in admitting that Pope Leo's
condition was very grave. The pom
tin has suffered another relapse and
lies this morning in a more critical
condition than at any time since the
middle of last week. The semi-coma-
tose condition into which he fell at
midnight, and the confused state of
the heretofore lucid mind on his wax
ing at an early hour this morning, ac-
companied by a still greater depres.
sion than during yesterday, are re-
garded as symptoms of the gravest
nature, and as pointing to imminent
dissolution.
Even here medical opinion was less
pessimistic and DIR. Mazzoni thought
the end was not within sight and ex-
pressed the opinion that unless the
disease too an unexpected turn there
was no reason to expect the end for
two or three days. This statement,
however, did not relieve the anxiety
OF those who knew what powerful
stimulants are being constantly ad.
ministered. Some attributed the pom
tin's extreme weakness tonight to ex-
cessive mental and physical efforts
undertaken yesterday In receiving Wis
itors. hearing mass. etc. For the first
time since his illness, the pontiff ask
ed to have the shutters almost closed
as the light hurt his eyes. and at the
same time, contrary to his custom,
he begged to be left as quiet as pos
sible.
Another noteworthy symptom OF his
weakening condition was the docility
with which he took his nourishment
and medicine. Previously, indeed dur
ing his whole life. Pope Leo had argu-
ed against prescriptions of doctors or
anything that had the aspect OF being
forced upon him. His feeling of IA
tigue and Indifference was interpreted
as a sign that his vitality was fast
diminishing.
last evening. late, nine cardinals,
including Satolli and Martinelli were
admitted to the sick room, but the
pope could not even speak to them,
merely giving them his hand to kiss.
DIR. Rosini was reported to have said
In an interview yesterday:
THE pope's pulse reaches 80 pulsa-
tions and over. Just calculate how
many times II has pulsated In SO
years. and you can understand that in
his present condition all his organs
and pulse must end by getting SO tired
that they will stop forever"
At the American embassy II was
stated that no request officially or
otherwise had been received up to
yesterday for information concerning
the pope's health. King Edward in.
structed the British ambassador, Sir
Francis Berly. to telegraph twice q
day regarding the popes condition.
The Telegraph last night printed
statement that the pope's real ailment
was cancer OF the liver. DIR. Mazzoni
characterizes the statement as a stu
pid falsehood without an atom )f
foundation.

DYapepsia.

People that have dyspepsia have
weak stomachs, weak hearts, weak
eyes and are usually weakened.
They feel bilious. and the world in
general has a bilious look to them;
they have so many symptoms that il
is difficult to locate the place where
they feel the worst. The fact is, the
source from where they get their
strength has been cut of, and they
are sick all over. The food taken in
to the stomach remains undigested,
causing belching and bilious attacks,
followed by sick.headache, and gen.
eral weakness. The medicine that
puts the stomach in condition SO that
the food can be readily digested, will
cure dyspepsia, and make strength
where there was weakness. We have
cured thousands of persons during
the past 90 years Of dyspepsia, with
DR.. Gums Improved Liver Pills. A
25c box OF these pills are worth more
to people with poor digestion than
six months of dieting or a gallon of
pepsin. IL only takes one for a dose.
We will send two Of these pills to
prove what they will do. Druggists
sell them for Csc box or by mail on
receipt Of price. Write DR.. Bosanko

Billings. July 10.-As yet the wool
market is only characterized by dull.
ness and the smallness OF the clips
offered. Prices remain about the same
as at the opening days. probably due
to the fact that the wools put up are
OF very ordinary quality and In small
lots. While considerable OF the staple
is at the two warehouses, the offer.
ings are not what was expected. The
reason Is that many of the owners
have not yet put in their appearance.
being detained by duties at their re.
spective ranches. Then. too, many Of
the clips are incomplete, as the shear.
ing season is later than ordinarily,
caused by trouble in some cases with
the shearers and in others by the rains
OF last week, which have delayed
shearing considerably.

lowing sales have been recorded:

One Clip Sold at Billings.

Billings, July 13.-ine opening day
of the second weeks wool market in
Billings did not give promise Of any
bright future to the woolgrowers.
There is still a tendency on the part
of the growers to hold back with a
view to getting better prices and then
others do not seem to be in a hurry,
probably because they do not have to
sell Just at present. Only one clip
was sold today and that a small one,
being that of w. II. Carl, $1,000 lbs,
bought by ]. Koshland & Co., at l4A
cents. Several of the buyers were at
Glendive today taking part In the
sales of 100000 pounds at that
place.
Worse Than Last Week.
Big Timber July 13-The local wool
market today opened even worse than
last week. There are but few grow
ers in town and consequently very lit
tie doing. G. B. Williams, OF Jere-
miah, Williams & Co., secured three
small clips. total OF $4,000 pounds.
The largest of these clips contained
but 10000 pounds, though Of very
good quality, they could not demand
as high prices as larger clips. The
sales were:
Lester Hash, 1900 pounds at IA
cents.
Jaston Jewell 1900 pounds at 14h
cents.
Charles Pruden 10000 pounds at IA
cents.
Thomas Ryley bought the Eugene
Williams clip at Two Dot for Ign

New York, March 5.-Several Allan
tic liners reached port to-day, all bear
ing stories of an unusually rough cross
ing.
The big Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
which arrived off the Hook last night,
made her way up to quarantine when
the fog lightened to-day, showing
many evidences of her battle with big
waves. For the first five days of her
voyage she experienced gales of hurri-
cane force. The gale began from the
southwest, accompanied by hail
squalls, and increased in violence. The
Kaiser Wilhelm bucked the big
seas under reduced speed for five days,
her average on the whole run being
1922 knots. Her tunnels were crustsd
with salt, and the seas were so heavy
that they boarded her decks and
smashed five life boats.
The Oceanic met equally bad
weather. She came into quarantine
with a story OF a voyage of high winds
and tremendous seas, and like the
Kaiser Wilhelm was compelled to go
under reduced speed for five days.

G0RMAN WILL SUCCEED
SENATOR JONES
AS Chairman of the Democratic
Senatorial Caucus.

Washington, March 5.-The Demo-
cratic senators will hold caucus to-
morrow. The principal object is to
elect a successor to Senator Jones of
Arkansas as chairman of the caucus,
but they will probably discuss to some
extent the question of policy with ref
erence to the treaties now pending in
the Senate. 1t is the general opinion
among Democratic senator's that Sen
ator German will be asked to resume
his old place as chairman of the Demo-
cratic caucus.
Another question which will prob
ably be taken up is the appointment of
member of the Committee on For
eign Relations to succeed Senator Bal
ley, who was excused from service on
that committee by the Senate on Tues
day last upon his own motion.
When he retired he suggested Sem
ator Clark of Montana as his sue
cessOr, and as there was no opposition
the suggestion was adopted and Sen
ator Clark was made a member of the
COMMITTEES. There is no objection to
Senator Clark as a member of the
committee, but there is a feeling on
the part of some of the Democratic
senators that the designation of
member of so important a committee
should be left to the caucus and not
to an individual senator. 1t therefore
seems probable that the caucus will
ask to be allowed to fill the place, and
that Senator Clark will be named by
the caucus.
The vacancies on the Steering Com
mittee will also be filed.

NAMES ARE CHOSEN
FOR NEW BATTLESHIPS.

Washington, March 5.-Secretary
Moody this afternoon reached a decis-
ion as to the states after which the
five battleships provided for in the new
naval bill shall be named. The three
10000 ton battleships are to be named
Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota, and
the two $1,000 ton vessels will be chris
tened Mississippi and Idaho
That no time is to be lost in the con-
struction of the new ships is evident
from the action of the Secretary this
afternoon in directing the general
board to prepare the circulars for the
10000 ton ships, which are to be of the
Connecticut and Tennessee class. AS
there are no 1900 ton ships on the
naval lists it will, of course, take
longer to prepare the plans and specif-
cations for the Mississippi and Idaho.

ONLY HIS NEPHEW
MAY SEE THE POPE.
Physician Places Every Safeguard
About the PontiR.


Rome, March 5.-Dr. Lapponi visited
the Pope to-day and found him no
worse with regard to any special ILL
ness. The physician has forbidden any
one to see the Pontiff except the lat
ter's nephew. Count Camille Pecci,
who entered the Po2e's room as Dr.
Lapponi left it.
The fact is that the Pontiff's phys-
cal prostration is due to overwork and
over-excitement, which, however,
leaves his mental faculties perfectly
clear, wonderfully SO. indeed. There
fore, DR.. Lapponi thinks that a few
days rest will restore the Pope to his
usual condition. The physician also
hopes that the suspension of audiences
will induce the numerous pilgrims and
notable persons who are now in Rome
to abandon the idea of seeing the Pom
tiff and thus avoid causing the latter
further fatigue, which might place him
in serious danger.
Count Camille Pecci, after his visit
to his uncle, gave the Associated
Press correspondent a full account of
the Pontiff's condition, saying he could
were the Pope really sick.
THE Pontiff not only is not suffer-
ing from any specific sickness" said
the Count, "but it will be difficult to
continue to keep him quiet, as
he said to me: The Doctor
wishes l should stay in my room until
Monday, but 1 cannot have SO many
people waiting who came to Rome pur-
posely to see me. If L continue as well
as / am at present, 1 shall resume my
audiences on Saturday,"
Il i
"In the meanwhile the Pope has an
nounced that he will assist tomorrow
at the usual Lenten sermon. together
with the cardinals"
