Paris, July Is. - Cardinal Gibbons,
who has just arrived in Paris on his
way to Rome, is the object of great
interest here on account of the report
published yesterday that there is a
possibility Of his candidature for the,
papacy. A large number of Catholic
prelates IN France believe the infiu-
ence OF the church would be tre-
mendously developed were either. a
French or American pope to succeed
Leo XIII. In case they had to choose
they would prefer an American to an
Italian pope.
On account of the recent ecclesi-
astic troubles in France the French
Catholic dignitaries have decided to
keep out entirely from the present
papal politics. Cardinal Gibbons.
however, is being made the recipient
Of marked attention on the part OF tho

RECOVERY IMPOSSIBLE, BUT He
MAY SURVIVE FOR SEW
ERAL DAYS.
MAKE DEATH AGONlts LESS ACUTE
ABOUT ALL MEDICAL SKILL CAN
DO FOR THE DISTINGUISHED
PATIENT.

most comfortable day yesterday since
his illness began. He is passing one
of the rallies which are peculiar to the
last stages of cancer, for there is no
longer the slightest doubt that that is
the dread malady from which he is
suffering. The following medical
statement Of the case may be accepted
as accurate:
In 1899 skin tumor on the pope's
right side was extirpated by DR.. MAJ
zoni. Its nature could not be ascer-
tanned because the pope did not wish
it to be examined, but he kept it for
some time and then threw it away.
His present illness was at first dag
nosed as pneumonia. DR.. Rossani,
when he was called in consultation,
thought it was pleurisy until the
pleuric fluid was withdrawn.
Then the physicians found that it
presented neither clinically nor mi
croscopically the characteristic of the
ordinary liquid produced by pleurisy.
1t contained
Malignant or cancerous
neoplasms, which left no doubt that
the tumor of 1899 had been of the
same nature, and that the malady had
returned in a new location.
The second puncture yielded a
liquor with such a large proportion Of
blood, that the physicians were un-
willing to operate for the third time
when Thursdays difficulty in breath.
ing suggested it, because there was
the greatest danger that another
drainage would produce fatal pleuric
hemorrhage.
Recovery is impossible, but it Is
not unlikely that the pope will sur
vive for several days. Such are the
facts of the situation, which the some
what misleading bulletins of the past
ten days have concealed. Serious
comments on the case are current
among the medical profession here,
which promise interesting consc-
quences. It may be said on behalf of
the pope's physicians, whether their
first diagnosis was mistaken or not,
that their treatment has been ade-
quate and skilful. It would not have
been radically different If the
True Nature Of the Disease
had been known at the outset More
over, it is good nursing that is chiefly
prolonging the life of his holiness.
Nothing could exceed DR.. Lapponi's
assiduity and skill in this respect It
is not improbably that the end may
yet come suddenly by internal hem
orrhage
Il cannot say that the pope is bet
ter, but he is no worse"
In these words DR.. !.apponi last
evening summed up the pontiff's con-
dition at the end of the second week
of his illness, in all the varying peri
DDS of which the pontiff scarcely has
had a quieter day than yesterday,
with the result that last nights bulle-
tin declares him to be little less de.
pressed.
From last nights examination of the
pope it appears that the liquid in the
pleura remains at about the same
level. AS his holiness is reduced al
most to a skeleton, if new operation
is decided on it will not be because of
any hope of saving the patients life,
but simply for the purpose of render
ing the death agony less acute.
