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

ceased to despair This promising out
look, however. was followed by the
startling announcement that the pope
had been attacked with diarrhOea, APP
parently caused by the large quantity
of food he had taken, and that con-
sulting physician had been sent for.

showed once more his iron mountain
eer fiber by rising and dressing al
most without assistance, walking
across the room to his arm chair and
having his toilet fully pc formed, even

out this procedure the pope showed
no sign of being exhausted. Indeed.
he jokingly alluded to the amount of
nOurishmelt which was being imposed
upon him and said: Il or Int to grow
fat, as l have never had in my life
as much as / get row.
His M-n,aI Faculties Unimpaired.

cred to be one CT the principal Co
efiicients in the struggle with death
which this admirable old man has
made in the last seven days. The
doctors. previous TO the alarming at
tack of the afternoon said there was

acuteness of ;he on:i-r's mental facCl-
ties, as shown IL remarkable man

church policy laid before him by Car
