Hit6I lS tlOpCS dllu lSdlS IioS pdSS6Q dIlQ Pope Leo's life still hangs in the ball. ance. Beginning with renewed hopes the day closed with the scales tending slow ly, but surely, downWards. How long this agonizing period of suspense will last not even the attending physicians dare to say.
 No night bulletin was issued, but at 12.15 this morning it was learned from Dr. Mazzoni the condition of the pon- tiff had not changed since the issue of the evening bulletin at 7:S0 o'clock, which announced that the patients state was grave. and at which hour pr. Lapponi had declared his fear that there was no hope. but that the end might not come during this night. At midnight report coming from the vat ican itself gained currency that Dr, Mazonni had again operated on the pope and extracted serum which had again gathered in the pleural cavity. The representative of The Associated Press immediately went to see the Illus tious surgeon and found him at his home at 1..3e this morning. Although extremely tired Dr. Mazzoni said:
 is untrue that new operation has been performed. I was with the pope from Il p. m. until after midnight and found his general condition stationary, mo change having taken place since this afternoon, when the consultation with Dr. Rossoni was held. To strengthen the patients heart and help the circu- lation of the blood injected camphor and caffeine, after which the pope, who I 6d f,u,t a,,l In. nembered being treated with raspail water on a camphor basis when he was nuncio at Brussels sixty years ago"
 Tn reply to 3 question Dr. Mazzoni re- piled:
 T really cannot sayuwhether the serum dn the pleural cavity has increased since the consultation this afternoon, as I did not examine his holiness for such purpose. It must be understood that the pope is too frail to be handled like other people. Besides his thorax, through old age, has become so bent in such way that the right side where pneumonia was first detected, curves out in pronounced manner, while the left side curves in. Tn tomorrow S visit attention will be especially center NNts SOil IilCs ploGtCSo lnC 8oCClSllOil Ol serum. Then decision will be taken as to whether new operation is neces- . sary.'' t Rome, July g, 7.45 p. m.-The news of the sudden relapse of the pope, the con- sultation of physicians, and the alarm ing bulletin which followed, was as an unexpected thunderbolt in what had al- s.ao fis iy, J;o fao unclouded sky. The idea now prevails that this brings to definite end all of the bright hopes which were cherished this morning.
 Professor Rosdoni went through the most careful examination of the illus trious patient, employing again what Is known as the Baccelli system.
 The consultation lasted over two hours. The patient, as one feature of the investigation, was made to pro- nounce the Italian word "Thirty-three'' (trenta tre) which in case where there is indicated the presence of a badly acting heart, a vitiated circula- tion and serum in the. pleura, to any, one listening at the patients side pre- sents sound as if the consonants in kliG SWOIu u##5#EtlllTly-lII6G Ildu iDGGI dropped. The experiment unfortunate ly proved not only the presence of fluid in the pleura, but its rapid aug mentation, so that it already afflicted the patient with the same disturbances that were observed last Tuesday. Ii was evident that another operation would be indispensable, but no decision on this point will be reached until af- ter consultation, which has been post poned until tonight because of the weakness of the patient. -*
 4 state of great prostration has en- sued, rendering worse the affection oi the kidneys. It<is likely that an injec. tion of salt water into the veins vii be resorted to. The diarrhoea which appeared this afternoon and occasioned the consultation, has now ceased.
 That the pope fully realizes that his end cannot long be deferred is showI
