his CONDITION SERIOUS.
Pope Leo XIII. Attacked with Pneu-
monia and End Thought
to Be Near.
HE IS kept ALIVE WITH STlKULAN1S.
Although He Is Very Weak, He May
Live Several Days, and Recovery
Ia Not Beyond HOpe-Bulletin of the

Rest.

Rome, July 7.-Pope Leo is seriously,
II not alarmingly, i'll with senile pneu-
mOnia, which developed from a cold
contracted Friday afternoon, following
a drive in the vatican grounds. His
holiness has been unable to leave his
bed since Friday night, and his heart
is gradually becoming weaker, necessi-
tating frequent doses of digitalis.
Goods VIII BE Donew
Goods will be done. Who would have
believed it, when only ten days ago l
was presiding over a public consis-
tory?" murmured feebly Pope Leo as
he felt himself late Sunday evening
sinking into sleep which lasted about
three hours until excruciating pain
brought the dying pontiff back to con-
sciOusness. He groaned and complained
of pains on both sides of the thorax

grave, though no immediate danger is
apprehended.
The only persons allowed in the.
pope's bedroom in the morning, besides
the doctors and the attendants, were
Cardinal Rampolla, Mgr. Bisleti, the
master Of the pontifical chambers, and
Brig. Gen. Count Camille Pecci, of
the Noble guard, nephew of the pope.
The pope conversed for a long time
with Count Pecci, even rising and walk
ing about the room for few minutes,
leaning on his arm. The pontiff on this
occasion remarked:
Nov l am ready to depart, having
settled all my affairs. I feel have done
all in my power for the good Of the
church and of humanity"
After rather exciting morning the
venerable pontiff enjoyed a much-need-
ca sleep.
The SuccesslOn.
All kinda of speculation are already
in circulation as to the probable sue
cessor to the throne of st. Peter. Opin-
ions are much divided, owing to the
many interests which will be affected
according to the choice made by the sa-
cred college. The first question the
cardinals will have to solve will be
whether the conclave shall be held in
Rome or outside Of Italy. It is be-
lieved that the supporters of the idea
of abandoning Rome will be even
fewer than in the conclave held after
the death of Plus TX, when 80 out Of
cardinals voted in favor of Rome The
second question will be whether the
next pope must be an Italian or for
eigner. 1t is generally believed that he
will be an Italian, because in view Of
the struggle between the church and
the state since the temporal power and
Warren sheaf., 1903-07-09

the constitution of united Italy all the
clergy as we'll as the clerical party and
even foreigners think that an Italian
pope can protect better than stranger
the advance of the religious and polit-
ical interests of the church.
Several Candidates.
The candidates chiefly spoken Of are
Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal x.
serafno Vannutelh. They are both
representatives of the conservative pol
Icy, but are bitter antagonists of each
other. The most probable candidates
are Cardinal Bishop Agliardi and Car
dinal Priest Satolli, whose breadth of
views and love Of modern ideas have
been strengthened during his stay In
America. The most probable religious
candidates are Cardinal Priest Gotti,
who would carefully avoid mixing. up
In politics, and Cardinal Priest Angelo
di Pietro, who also has the very desira-
BILE requisite of old age, being Is years
old. All these candidates live in Rome.
but strong party, which might include
good many foreign cardinals, advo-
Gates the election of a cardinal who is
not a member of the curia, such as
Cardinal Sato, patriarch of Venice:
Cardinal Ferrari, archbishop of Milan,
both intransigeant; or Cardinal Cape
celatro, archbishop of Capua, who is
perhaps the most learned member of
the sacred. college, and has conciliatory
ideas. a..

night, though still grave, is not so seri-
Gus as late in the afternoon. DR.. Lap
poni administered camphor-caffeine
Through the mouth, as one experiment
of injection, did not prove successful,
Pope Leo saying he could not bear it.
The amelioration resulting from the
camphor-ca caffeine was so marked that
the pontiff called first his nephews and
then his private secretary and adjusted
some personal affairs which are pend
ing. Dr. Mazzoni and DR.. Lapponi
thought that the danger Of a catas-
~trophe occurring during the night has
been averted. Indeed, they hope that
unless there is heart failure they will

Tor a few days longer, especially if he
will willingly consent to observe the
physicians prescriptions. This, how
ever, is the more difficult as his holiness
preserves his full consciousness and ar
cues and discusses his doctors prescrip-
ahons. The latter, fearing to excite him
by contradiction, are sometimes at
loss how to proceed. 49,. y

day morning by the pope's physicians is
