POPE IN VALLEY OF
SHADOW Of DEATH
Still Pontiff Shows Remarka-

CARDINALS GALL UPON HIM.

While Pope Has Momentary Spells Of
oeIirium Doctors Think There Is
No Fear Immediate Dissolution.
Vatican Bssiesed by lnquirers.
Rome, July 14.-The organs of the
pope are gradually ceasing to perform
their natural functions. All process.
es OF elimination has ceased and no
more nourishment is taken.
Rome, July 14.-The pope's condi.
tioh today developed features which
the doctors regarded as the most
alarming since his illness began. Their
judgment was based upon the patients
having brief but frequently recurring
spells or delirium. Yesterdays hal.
lucfnation was not considered as OF the
same character, that delirium being
clearly the effect OF nerve prostration.
Today's alterations. however, convinc.
ed the doctors that the disease had
advanced beyond the nerves and had
affected the brain.
During the periods of delirium the
patients mind wanders and he NUT.
ters incoherently. He insists that
shadows are fitting about the room
In his lucid moments the pope. for
the fret time, showed a complete
realization Of the gravity Of his con.
dition. He asked for the Francis
can benediction, which was given by
Cardinal Vivesy Tuto. He especially
asked to see Cardinal Rampolla, to
whom he gave what Is was thought
might be his final word.
The increasing gravity of the situa.
ton becoming generally known. the
vatican was besieged during the morn.
ing by numerous visitors comprising
practically all Of the loading members
in the ecclesiastical and diplomatic
.wor. Of Rome.
Towards noon no marked change
was reported, but DR.. Laponi made
brief visit to his sick daughters. This
led to the belief that the doctors did
not expect immediate dissolution.
