POPE REALIZES END is NEAR
He Gives Orders About Position of
His Tomb.

Rome, July 10.-Another day OF al
ternate hopes and fears has passed and
Pope Leo's life still hangs in the bal
ance. Beginning with renewed hopes,
yesterday closed with the scales tend
ing slowly, but surely, downwards
How long this agonizing period of sus-
pense will last not even the attending
dotors dare to say.
The injections given, first by Dr.
Mazzoni and then by DR.. Lapponl, had
in part the desired effect, as the pope
has succeeded in getting some sleep,
although his slumber was not entirely
tranquil. The patients diet has been
somewhat lightened since the attack Of
diarrhoea yesterday and is now limited
mainly to meat broth and beef tea
Shortly after sunrise this morning
when DR.. Lapponi went to sec the
pope, he found him wiCh his hands TO-
gether in the attitude of prayer. On
the doctor inquiring whether he re-
quired anything, his holiness replied:
"Today finishes a week since was
taken i'll. l am thanking God for hav-
ing given me strength to still pray
TO Him"
This morning it was learned from
DR.. Mazzoni that the condition of the
pontiff had not changed since the issue
of the evening bulletin at 730 o'clock,
which was as follows
THE general condition of the illus
trious patient having become depress-
ed, a consultation was held, with the
participation Of Professor Rossini.
From objective examination it appears
that the liquid is again rapidly gath
ering in the pleura. The sounds Of
the heart are weak, without any symp-
toms of valvular lesion. The pulse is
easily compressible, that is to say, it
has 80 pulsations instead of 65, which
Is normal. The breathing is superficial
and at long intervals. The kidneys arc
not performing their regular functions.
The state of his holiness is considered
grave"
The condition of Pope Leo at times
yesterday morning seemed so favor
able that the hopeful DR.. Mazzoni and
the more conservative DR.. Lapponi
united in expressing the belief that
there was some slight prospect of re-
covery, but within a few hours these
brighter prospects disappeared before
the most alarming conclusions reached
after the lengthy consultation of the
doctors.
The earlier hopes had been inspired
largely by the pontiff's outward evil
dence of vigor, as he was able to rise,
walk and command all his faculties,
but the later consultation disclosed
that these outward evidences OF
strength were entirely deceptive, as
the real danger consisted in the grad
ual internal progress of the insidious
sisease.

OIL IN RIVER PREVENTS
RESIDENTS GETTING COOL
Smell SO Obnoxious at Low
Tide People Cannot Stay
Near Ii

The oil that has been polluting the
Christiana has been discovered as coming
from the Diamond State Steel Company,
and South Wilmington residents are
making an effort TO have it stopped.
The firm burns oil in its spike mill and
all the refuse is emptied into the creek.
The oil does not come out when the tide
is high as the outlet in the wharf is COW
ered but as soon as the water falls low
enough the mass of grease, oil and slime
comes out and sticks TO the rocks along
the waters edge, emitting an awful odor
As night approaches the people living
near Third street bridge bring the young
children to the wharves to get a breath
of fresh air, but the stencil is so obnoN
ious they have TO leave. Much sickness
is attributed 10 the pouring of the oil,
which sticks TO the rocks along the
wharyes.

May ProIona His Life a Day.

Rome, July 10.-A second operation was
performed upon the Pope between 10 and
10. 80 o'clock this morning, The operation
was completely successful. The PoDe IS
now resting comfortably but is very weak.
The relief afforded by the second opera
fion IS expected to prolong the Holy
Fathers life. at least for twenty-four
hours. At the end Of that time another
operation will probably be necessary.
Whether His Holiness will be able to stand
another puncture is doubtful.
In the meantime his strength IS simply
wearing out. Optimism now exists only
among "a few of the PoDe's most devoted
attendants who have previously seen their
optimism so often justified. They have a
blind faith that Leo WIN continue TO live.
