sEMl-coMATosE STATE.
Symptoms In Pope's illness Pointing
to Early Dissolution.

Rome, July 14.-"While there is life
there is hope" was all the consolation
that Dr. Lapponi could give today il
admitting that Pope Leo's condition
was very grave"
The pontiff has suffered another re
lapse and he lies this morning in
more critical condition than at any
time since the middle of last week.
The semi-comatose condition into
which he fell at midnight and the con
fused state of his heretofore lucid mine
on his awakening at an early houl
this morning, accompanied by still
greater depression than during yester
day, are regarded as symptoms of the
gravest nature and as pointing to ar
imminent dissolution.
Even in the early evening medica
opinion was less pessimistic and DIR
Mazzoni thought the end was not with
in sight. He expressed the belief thai
unless the disease took an unexpected
turn there was no reason to appre
hend death for two or three days.
This statement, however, did not re
lieve the anxiety of those who knew
what powerful stimulants are being
constantly administered.
Some attribute the pontiff's weak
ness today to the excessive mental
and physical efforts undertaken Sun
day in receiving visitors, hearing
mass, etc.
Never before has the patients weak
ness progressed as it did yesterday
For the first time since his illness the
pontiff asked to have the shutters al
most closed, as the light hurt his eyes
and at the same time, contrary to his
custom, he begged to be left as quiet
as possible.
Another noteworthy symptom of his
weakening condition was the dccility
with which he took medicine and nour'
ishment Previously, indeed during
his whole life, Pope Leo has been
against the prescriptions of doctors OF
anything which had the aspect OF
being forced upon him.
His feeling Of fatigue and indiffer.
ence was interpreted as a sign that
his vitality was fast diminishing.
Late last evening nine cardinals, In
cluding Satolli and Martinelli, were
admitted to the sick room, but the pope
could not even speak to them, merely
giving them his hand to kiss.
DR.. Rossoni was reported to have
said in an interview yesterday: THE
pope's pulse reaches 90 pulsations ant
over. Just calculate how many times
it has pulsated in SO years and you
understand that in his present condi
ton all his organs and the pulse must
end by getting so tired that they will
stop forever"
At the American embassy it was
stated that no request, official or other
wise, had been received up to yester
day for information regarding the
pope's condition. King Edward has
instructed the British ambassador, Sil
Francis BERTHE, to telegraph twice
daily the state CT his holiness.
The Tribuna last night printed a
statement that the pope's real ailment
was cancer of the liver. DR. Mazzon
characterizes the statement as a stupid
falsehcod without an atom of founda
tion.

A Second Operation.

Another operation has brought
further relief to Pope Leo and by it.
the possibility of his life being pro-
longed was increased, but it can hard
ly be said that the operation improved
his chances of recovery.
AS an immediate result of Fri
days operation, the pope spent a
quiet and almost painless day, with
for his age a normal temperature and
he once more strikingly exhibited his
strength of constitution and intellect.
At the examination in the evening the
doctors could not perceive any regath-
ering Of serum in the pleural cavity,
but it was feared that the presence
of serum would be detected today,
thus rendering necessary perhaps
another operation in few days.

Trial for Lese Maleste.

King George of Saxony has person
ally demanded punishment of an editor
for lese majestic Some time ago the
Dresdner Rundschau, weekly publ
cation, printed an article concerning a
petition sent by needy widow to the
kings dat ughter, Princess Mathilde, in
which the princess sent her but three
marks for five starving children"
Another article in the same paper
discussed the affairs of the crown
princess in the form of fable, where
upon followed the confiscation of the
issue and the arrest of the editor.
The proprietor of the paper, advised
by Berlin lawyers that the Saxon au-
thorities had no right to take such ac-
ton, decided to place the whole mat,
ter before the king.
To this the minister of law replied
on June 29 that his majesty had de
cided that the author of the articles
should be prosecuted by law.

GAYNOR. GREENE CASE.
To Be Argued Before Privy
Council In England.

Second Operation on Pope Lso-crop
tatlstlcs-Weekly Trade Review
Farmer Killed by showman-Strike
Picket Shot - Christian Endeavor
onventlon-Deaths by Collision.
The Gaynor-Greene case has taken
another turn and the United States au-
thorities do not appear to have any in
tention Of allowing the matter to drop,
judging from a cable received at
Quebec from England to the effect
that O petition had been presented to
the privy council asking for leave to
appeal to that body from Judge Caron's
judgment rendered last fall, which
practically allowed both Messrs Gay
nor and Greene their liberty in the
dominion.
Nothing had been heard Of the case
against Gaynor and Greene until
Thursday evening, when Mr.. Tasch-
ereau, m. p., who was their counsel
here, received cablegram from Lon
don to the effect that petition had
been presented to the privy council
asking leave to appeal from Judge
Caron's judgment
The petition was a very lengthy one
and contained all the proceedings be-
fore Magistrate LaFontaine in Mont
real and Judges Caron and Andrews in
Quebec.
The case had been fixed for the 18th
instant, but as Mr.. Taschereau could
not reach London In time he cabled
back to try and have case postponed
until August /, and the reply was re-
ceived that the privy council would sit
until oath of July. Mr.. Taschereau,
consequently decided to go to England
and left Saturday afternoon by steam
er Pretorian for London, expecting
to reach there about the 21st.
Messrs Gaynor and Greene will make
big fight on the other side and will
have some of the most prominent
counsel in England to look after
their case.
