RAPIDLY SINKING,
Pope Leo Almost at the End
Of His Journey.
Unconscious Part of Time and Mine
in State of Confusion.
All His Relatives Present at Vatican
Awaiting the End.

Rome, July H.-2.16 A. M.-"While
there is life there is hope" was all the
consolation that Lapponi could give, to-
night, in admitting that Pope Leo's
condition was very grave.
The Pontiff has suffered another re-
lapse and he lies. this morning, in a
more critical condition than at any
time since the middle of last week. The
semi-comatose condition into which he
fill at midnight and the confused state
of his heretofore lucid mind on his
awakening at an early hour, this morn
ing, accompanied by still greater de-
preston than during yesterday, are re-
garded as symptoms of the gravest ma
ture and as pointing to an imminent
dissolution.
Even in the early evening medical
opinion was less pessimistic and DR..
MaZZoni thought the end was not with
IN sight. He expressed the belief that
unless the disease took an unexpected
turn there was no reason to apprehend
death for two or three days. This
statement, however, did not relieve the
anxiety of those who know what pow
erful stimulants are being constantly
administered.
Some attribute the Pontiff's extreme
weakness during the night to the Sc
we're mental and physical efforts I'M
dertaken, yesterday in receiving WISH
tors, hearing mass, etc. Never before
has the patients weakness progressed
as it did, yesterday. For the first time
since his illness the Pontiff asked to
have the shutters almost 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 docility
with which he took medicine and nour-
ishment. Previously, indeed during his
whole life, Pope Leo has been against
the prescriptions of doctors or any
thing which had the aspect of being
forced upon him. His feeling of fatigue
and Indifference was interpreted as a
sign that his vitality was fast dimin-
ishing.
Late last evening, nine cardinals, in
GLIDING Satolli and Martinelli, were adj
mitted to the sick room, but the Pope
could not even speak to them, merely
giving them his hand to kiss.
DIR. Rossoni was reported to have
said in an interview, yesterday, THE
Pope's pulse reaches 80 pulsations and
over. Just calculate how many times
it has pulsated in 93 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, Sir
Francis BERTHE to telegraph twice daily
the state of His Holiness.
Rome, July 14.-4.30 A. M.-Dr. lap
POM has succeeded in terminating the
Pope with stimulants. He also gave
him little nourishment. The patients
breathing is again difficult. He says
he is very tired

STEAMER FARES.

The Oficial and Commercial Record
Of Yesterday contains an article, printed
herewith, upon steamer fares between
Boston. and Jamaica, comparing them
with fares between San Francisco and
Honolulu, which is calculated to make
man stop and think.
The trip TO Jamaica is the direct rival
OF the Honolulu trip. so far as eastern
fravel is concerned. Both islands are
in about the same latitude. mountain
Gus and tropical Both are connected
with the mainland by good steamers;
both are approximately the same dis
lance from the chief mainland port
with which they have steam connection.
The Boston Steamship Company, whose
steamers are running to Jamaica. has
adopted the progressive American
policy of making the fare low, and adj
vertising the fact.
The San Francisco steamers have
taken the back track however, and have
actually raised the round trip fare
within the last year.
The Boston-Jamaica round trip can
be made for $1,000.
The San Francisco round trip costs
s135.OO for the cheapest rooms and $1,000
extra for the better rooms.
1t would seem as though the first step
70 be taken to induce tourist travel to
Hawaii should be TO get fares down to
a point where other points of attrac-
tior do not hopelessly outclass us so far
as rates are concerned.
How would it do for the Merchants
Association and Chamber of Commerce
TO appoint committee to take up the
question Of fares with the steamship
companies7
The committee might not be success
full. but again it might. and the value
of increasing tourist travel is so great
TO local business houses that the at
tempt is wen worth making.

STEAMER FARES AGAIN.

IThe Ofieial and Commercial RecOrd.1
The Record recently called attention. to
the fact that steamer fares between San
Francisco and Honolulu had been raised.
and that the greatest obstacle now in the
way of tourist travel is the high passage
rate charged. as compared with the rates
on competing tourist routes.
The subject is. brought to the front
again by a display ad. by Boston Steam
ship Company in late number of Leslie's
Illustrated Weekly. concerning the tourist
trip by steamer from Boston to and
through the Caribbean sea, landing at
Jamaica, the most beautiful of the West
Indian Islands. The distance from Boston
to Jamaica is 1900 miles, and the trip
takes five days. The steamers are twin
screw and finely fitted for passengers.
They leave "Wednesday and Friday.
THE ROUND TRIP TICKET. IN
GLIDING MEALS AND STATERooAIs,
GOOD FROM MAY l, TO OCTOBER i,
COSTS ONLY $50.
Compare this with the rates charged on
the steamers between San Francisco and
Honolulu. The tate is s1S5 for the round
trip, and on the Oceanic boats. all but the
lower deck rooms cost an additional SO
for each berth each way. or $50 additional
: for the rornd trip.
J Reduced to mileage figures. the com
/ parison is as follows:
Boston to Jamaica and return 800
miles. cost per mile, $40 cents.
San Francisco to Honolulu and return.
416O miles. cost per mile. 2-1O cents.
