The Days Bulletins.
1920 p. m.-The condition Of the pope
has become slightly worse. The dizzi-
ness has become pronounced and is ac-
companied by heeting Authorizations
12:26-The dizziness from which the pope
suffers Is a kind Of mental confusion dur
Ing which he seems to lose consciousness
OF his surroundings, while he believe he
sees visions. He explained after it was
over that he thought he saw an underlined
shadow moving about the room and slowly
approaching his bed, whereupon the
pontif became agitated and called for his
valet, Pho Contra, saying: "Pio, Pho, who
is itf Who is it," Drs. Lapponi and
Contra rushed to the patients bed and
soon succeeded in tranquilizing him.
Kidneys Are Worse.
12:50-It developed during the morning
as the result of a careful medical examina-
ton that the condition of the pope's kid
neys Is worse as parts Of the urine are
not normal. Certain elements leads the
doctors to fear that his system is gradu-
ally approaching a state of dissolution.
No traces Of albumen were found, indi-
eating, altho the kidneys are not perform
ing their functions properly, that they are
not themselves originally diseased.
las p. n1.-The pope has not been al
lowed to get up to-day. No change is
apparent in his condition since morning.
2:10 p. m.-The pope's condition took a
turn slightly for the worse this morning
but the change does not excite appre-
henston ofan immediate climax. Last night
was rather a. sleepless one, particularly
during the early morning hours. The Of
fetal bulletin frankly speaks Of agitated
periods during the night and confesses
that the general condition of the patient
is somewhat more depressed. 1t developed
soon after the issuance Of the bulletin thai
this depression was quite marked and il
continued to manifest itself turnout the
forenoon at one time assuming an alarm
ing aspect. This was when the pope
seemed to lose his GRASP on tangible sur
froundings.
Saw Fitting Shadow.
For the first time since his illness began
there was momentary hallucination, the
patient believing that shadow fitted thru
the room. The doctor and the attendants
quieted his fears. Thru passing periods OF
depression the condition of mental alert
ness continues.

quired about DR.. Rossini asking: "Why
doesn't he come to see me?''
Being told that DR.. Rossini was i'll, he
said, "Tell him he must take care of him

50. NIT is understood the doctors will
hold an examination Of the pope earlier
than usual this evening, owing to the
somewhat unfavorable condition of the
patient. ri
p. m.-The pope's condition is becom.
ing worse. Contrary to the arrangement
made for the daily reception of three car
dinals, none was permitted to enter the
sick chamber to-day.
Rome, July 13.-When Mgr. Angel, one
Of the pope's secretaries, this morning
described to his holiness the burst of re-
ligious enthusiasm called forth by his Ill
| ness, declaring that it had produced q
revival favorable to the Catholic church
unexampled In It's history, the pontifr ex.

| Pope Leo is credited with saying:
Predicts Death on Thursday.
IF ana destined to die from this i'll.
| ness feel shall expire on Thursday
the feast-day of the Carmelite Madonna
whom I especially worship"
The presentment Is remarkable because
| in a certain way it comedies with the
prophecy made in the twelfth century by
| st. Mala chy, the bishop of Armagh, who
predicted that Pope Leo would be sue
| ceeded by a pope symbolizing the motto
! ''1gnes Ardens," claiming fire.
| The Carmelite Madonna is the patrones!
Of the Carmelite order, which attribute.
it's origin to the prophet Elijah, who as

member and protector Of this order i.
Cardinal Gotti, who Is looked upon as tn,
most likely successor to the pontiff.
| Some uneasiness was occasioned this
morning owing to the pope's being at
tackled by a feeling Of dizziness believed
to have been the result Of cerebral weak
ness. His holiness was revived so salts

| According to the rules established TO
the government Of the Noble Guard, on,
of its principal duties is to watch assidi
ously the person of the pope when hi
holiness is seriously ill, even the papa
