was taken NJ
The condition Of Pope Leo at times
yesterday morning seemed so favorable
that the hopeful DR., Mazzonl and the
more conservative Lapponi united In
expressing the belief that there was
some slight prospect of recovery but
IN a few hours these brighter prospects
disappeared before the most alarming
conclusion reached after a lengthy con.
suliation % the doctors
The earlier hopes had been inspired
largely by the pontiff's outward EVIL
dence OF ylgor as he was able to rise,
walk and command all HIS faculties,
but the later consultation disclosed that
these outward evidences OF strength
we're entirely deceptive, as the real
danger consisted In the gradual internal
progress Of the lnsdlous diseases.

Itself gave rise to the gloomest fore
boGings. Indeed, this was the first ac-
tual consultation hs the previous FREE
quent meetings Of the doctors were not
regarded as formaf consultations. To-

tinguished specialist Of the baccilI
school, was called In a consultation last
ing two hours, during which every
phase Of the PATENTS case was
minutely gone over The conclusions an
nounced In the 100 bulletin showed that
liquid is again gathering IN the pleuial
cavity, and that the pope's general con-
dition is very grave.
Following the issuance Of this bulletin
tho doctors freely expressed their per-
sonal convictions regarding the extreme
gravity Of the case. Or. lappOni said,
without qualification, that the patients
condition was beyond hope lie did not
expect final collapse tonight, but
rather a gradual sinking until the end
came. How long the sufferer may last,
the doctors viii not venture any pre-
diction. Ordinary calculations, they
say, fan to apply to this extraordinary
case one Of them remarked today,
Here Is a man almost hundred
years old retaining all his mental and
most Of his physical faculties and
bravely combating the approach OF
death, Although the conditions change
from hour TO hour, the essential cond-
tions OF mental alertness and physical
Vlgor continue unbroken, Never yet
has there been the slightest lapse into

Whatever may be the outcome. the
vatican world has fully made up It's
mind that the demise of the pope Is
only q question OF days at the most,
and probably only OF hours with this
