PASSED A QUIET NIGHT.
Popes Condition Shows Practically No

Rome. July 16.-The pope's condition
shows practically no change. After a
comparatively quiet night he became
restless during the forenoon hours and
complained of his inability to sleep. He
turned uneasily from side to side and
seemed unable to settle himself in
comfortable position, but there was no
recurrence of those dangerous periods
of delirium, which aroused such appre-
hension1 TUESDAY.
The doctors continue to feel that the
patients condition is extremely dan
gerous. but they say he may still lin
ger for days. They repeat that all of
the ordinary calculations are quite
likely to fail in the present extraordi-
nary case.
Speaking OF the specific conditions
the doctors say that they think the
pneumonia has practically disappeared.
The regathering OF liquid in the pleura
is SO slight as to cause the patient no
trouble. The chief remaining dan
ger lies In the almost complete pros
tration, succeeding the acute stages of
the disease.
