CHANGED.

No" said the pope, 81 merely de-
sired to know the approaching time"

at 10 o'clock this morning. The pom
tiff said he had seen with great pleas
ure how the sacred college was inter-
ested In his person and he was equally
gratided at the manifestations from the
good people of Rome.
After this. his holiness spontaneously
asked Cardinal Rampolla whether
there were any urgent affairs to deal
with and the cardinal made a short
summary Of the principal pending ques-
tlos. The pope interested himself In all
OF them. and the conversation turning
again TO the pontiff's condition, he
said

bedroom at / o'clock this afternoon,

Rome, July g. S:45 p. mat $3.50 p. m,
word came from the sick room that
while the general condition of the pope
remains satisfactory, It was not desira-
Bile TO take an oYer-optimstic view of
the outlook as a relapse may occur at
any time, although no specific symp-
toms yet lead to such a supposition.
After a long conference in the night
Il was decided that In case the pope
grew worse there would be consulta-
ton at which at least one new physician
should be present. Org Mazzonl and
Lapponi decided that under such con
diiiOns, the physician whom they would
prefer was Prof. Rossoni a pupil Of Dr

better synthesis Of this view could b. |
given than in the words Dr. Lapponi 4

about noon. THAI although he did not |

ceased TO despair
This promising outlook. however, was I
followed by the startling announce |
