He Did Not Get Up.
lilo a. m.-Contrary to his usual habit
the pope did not get up this morning. not
because Of any unusual depression as his
general condition is somewhat improved,
but because the doctors urged him to rest
as much as possible and to stay in bed.

sources thus disproving the reports that
the pope is failing rapidly.
1890 a. m.-The condition of the pope
Is stationary. A small crowd is gathered
in the courtyard of the Vatican awaiting
news regarding the pontiff. The feeling
that the patient may linger for some time
is becoming more general
1920 p. m.-The general condition Of
the pope is unchanged. He took his mid
day nourishment of sweet breads, chick
ems, jelly and q small glass of marsala
wine
1880 p. m.-shortly after the mid day
meal the pope fell into a peaceful sleep
which still continues
$3.50 p. m.-The pope continues to sleep
and those about him consider this sleep
to be unnatural and arising from an aiag-
m entatfon of weakness. It is9 expected
| that all three doctors will go to the sick
room twice this afternoon, at s and at
Z p. M
Later in the day the pope. received the
| roni, his nieces; and after a short chat
| with them, asked about Mgr. sVolpini, say

not come to see me?"
It was explained to the pontiff that the
excitement Of the last few days had over
| come M. Volpini, who was quite ur1wel1.
But the pope was not Informed that Mgr.
Volpinl was dead.
A rurnor is now in circulation to the
effect that the pope is suffering from In
| flamnlat ton of the kidneys.
p. rn.-The pope has awakened, thus
dissipating the fear Of the approach OF
a state Of coma.
! denies that the pope is suffering from in
fiammation of the kidneys.
500 p. m.-The pope is still awake but
| Is not feeling quite SO bright as he did this
| morning. The doctors are now arriving at
the vatican for an early visit.
+ In order to take into account the con-
venience of all concerned, including the
pope. unless new symptoms are discov-
cred, the doctors are not likely to return
| to the vatican tonight.
