H HISTORY OF THE CASE.

His Physicians.

Rome, July S.-The newspapers this evening
publish a history of the Pope's Illness evidently
inspired by Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni. who
wish TO defend themselves from the attacks on
their diagnosi- of the case. 1t is interesting as
the first document giving exact data from
medical point of view. The account runs as fol-
lows:
On the morning of Tuesday. June 30 Pope
Leo went for a drive in the Vatican gardens.
On returning he declared that he greatly
benefited by the fresh air, and wished to repeat
the drive The Pope said he felt need OF
medical visit, and informed DR.. Lapponi not 10
attend him.
on the night Of Wednesday July 1, Pope Leo
complained o. intestinal disturbance, which he
went into the Vatican gardens and returned TO
his apartments again, feeling benefit from his
drive.
on Thursday he declared he felt well, but DR..
Lapponi, wishing to know personally the nature
of the disturbance complained or spent the
night at the Vatican During the night the

and found pulmonary Inflammation in the right

salt of Pope's Sickness.

Rome, July S.-Although Pope Leo is one OF
the best loved of the Popes. the situation In
the Church now is that while there is one party
which would do anything possible to have him
live longer, there is another party which thinks
a change in the Papacy would further its in
terests, as we'll as those of the Church The
former party is composed OF all the friends of
those who are now in power. and who have
secured the best posts. both with regard to
honors and positions. we'll as financially
ThAse understand that a change may mean
practical oblivion for them
The other party Is composed OF all those who
have been kept in the background and whose
only hope is in administration. 1t must
be remembered that a new Pope generally
brings a change in all the great appointments.

Vicar of Rome the representative Of the Pom

Grand Penitentiary. who presides at the Tri-
bunaI of Penitentiaries. granting absolution un-
der certain circumstances. and the librarian OF
the Holy Church. besides all other offices more
or less important connected with or depending
on these great dignitaries.
There is only one man who holds such place
as TO be sure to profit by the election of new
Pope if the usual custom is observed. This is

State. 1t is his duty when Pope is elected to

In 1878 Leo calmly and slowly folded up his
red zuccetto and nut it in his pocket, as mute
protest against politics. The officiating prelate
was Monsignor Lasagni, who. in fact. waited
about three years before entering the Sacred
