full Physicians.

Rome, July 1O.-The following bull
letin was posted at 1O:3O this morn
ing:
The pope passed the first part of
the night fairly well and peacefully,
but afterward the difficulty in breath
ing became more marked, coupled
with discomfort and a feeling of de
precision. The pulse was weak. The
flow of endopleuric matter being OBJ
served, a second operation was decid-
ed upon and Immediately performed
by Dr. Mazzoni About 1000 grams
of bloody serum were extracted. The
pontiff bore the second opera tion very
well and in consequence both respira-
ton and the power of the heart at
once improved"
After the bulletin had been issued
the crowds about the entrance to the
vatican dispersed.
The authorities of the vatican have
made arrangements which chow that
they expect a quiet day, and the gen
eral feeling is that while the case is
hopeless the pope may live several
days CT even week longer.
The operation this morning was al
most identical with that of Tuesday
1t was comparatively painless and
performed without recourse to an
aesthetics. The pope seemed to de-
rive much benefit therefrom.

Rome. July 10. = Since his illness
the pope had not begun a day as salts
factorily as yesterday. Indeed, hopes
of his recovery reached such a point
