 Seeing Dr Mazzoni shortly after he awoke the pope said:
 .sThis is the first time since the be- ginning of my illness that have had Some really peaceful sleep"
 Dr Mazzoni replied: Tt is the eff Feet of the operation"
 The pope then observed: "There is One thing your skill cannot accomplish diminish my 94 years"
 The most important thing now re- commended by pr Mazzoni is nourish- ment for the patient, saying: Plants ueed water when dry"
 $40 a. m.-As a consequence of the operation performed yesterday, the cy- anosis of the last finger joints has dis appeared, proving that it was caused by vitrified circulation due to the pressure of the pleura on the lungs.
 The churches this morning were more crowded than usual with suppli- cants interceding for the recovery of the pontiff, repeating the Pro Pontifico lnfirmo prayer.
 An instance of the strain prevailing owing to the pope's illness is the case of a Roman who went to the basilica and shouted: II am the popes ne- phew. The pope is dead. We are all lost; we. must all die" He tried to throw himself from a considerable height but was rescued and taken into custody.
 The arrival of telegrams from all parts of the world addressed to the vatican has been So numerous that the minister of posts and telegraphs has been obliged to recall clerks who had gone on their summer vacations, besides establishing a special service in the transmission, delivering and re- plying to dispatches to and from the vatican.
 Emperor William, King Edward, King Leopold, King Alfonso and the queen mother. the Prince of Monte negro, Emperor Francis Joseph, the king of Saxony and King Carlos of Portugal make frequent inquiries by telegraph as to the condition of the pope.
 The noble guard who had been sent as bearers of the Red hat to the new cardinals, Kataschaler, archbishop of Salzburg, Austria, and TaIiana, papal nuncio at Vienna, have been recalled to Rome because of the illness of the pope. The noble guard sent to Lisbon to present the red hat to Cardinal Ajuti, the papal nuncio there, will re- main until July II, when the hat will be conferred upon him if the pope does not die meanwhile.
 Rome, July 8, II: :35 a. m.--As can be seen by the morning bulletin the pope's S condition to-day is not so favorable as 1t was last night, due to the fact that the improvement after the operation of yesterday has not assumed the pro- portions the doctors wished While the inflammation of the lungs is de- creasing the patients general condi- ton does not improve and there is Il tendency towards radical change for the worse. The pontiff is extremely weak and even chloral seems to have lost the power to give the sufferer re- lief of tranquil rest. Besides, what depresses the pope is the difficulty in breathing. At times he appears to be upon the point of stranguIation and then his breathing gradually becomes weaker until his heart apparently stops.
 Another great preoccupation of the doctors is the Arrangement of the pa- dent's kidneys, as result of which blood poisoning is feared.
 The outlook now is that the pope's life may perhaps be prolonged more than could have been expected thirty six hours ago; but the hopes of his re- coverv are still very small If on Monday night the probabilities in his favor were 10 against 90, the propor- t1on now has become 12 to SS.
 Extraordinary optimism prevailed for certain time during the night at the vatican. It was caused by the commander of the noble guard having, shortly before midnight, ordered a picket stationed before the papal ante chamber to return to it's quarters Ac- cording to the traditional etiquette of the vatican, when pope is seriously i'll this picket is not withdrawn un- less the doctors declare the patient to be out of danger. It developed, how ever, that the commander took upon himself to send the men to their quar- fers because they had been so many hours without rest
 The following particulars were ob- tained of the doctors visit this morn ing to the pope:
 How feels his holiness?" asked Dr Siazzoni.
 T do not feel as we'll; I am weak er." replied the pontiff.
 Perhaps you did not sleep suffi- cientiy?"
 "No, no,' answered the pope. q was better last night. am sorry, be- cause to-day should be day of great work.''
 Surely" Dr Mazzoni replied, "his holiness does not intend to work"
 Certainly" answered the pope. q have so many things to do. But I am afraid have not the strength
 Both of the doctors then proceeded to convince the pope of the necessity for rest, urging him not to place ob- stacles in the way of his recovery.
 Il shall do as you wish.n said the pontif, in conclusion, with a sigh Of resignation
