.LEO'S LIFE EBBINL.
The Vatican Physicians Have
 No Hope of His Recovery.
PONTIFF FULL OF SUBLIME COURAGE
Urges the Doctors to Allow Him to See the Cardinals, as They Had Shown Irritation at Being De-

Urges the Doctors to Allow Him to l See the Cardinals, as They Had Shown Irritation nt Being De- nied Entrance to Sick Room. ROME, July 11.-On awakening this
 morning the pontiff was somewhat restless, and dose of chloral was ad- ministered.
 The following bulletin shows the present condition of his holiness: '"The pope has had hours of rest, without suffering. His pulse maintains | its frequency and force. After the sec ond operation his pulsation was 92, his respiration 2S and his temperature 36 centigrade- The kidneys continue func- tionally deficient. His general state is stationary
 Professor Rossoni, assisted by three other doctors, analysed the serum ex- tracted at the second operation. The doctors explained that the purpose of the analysis was to determine whether the case originated from tuberculous process or tumor in the throat. The analysis showed that the disease was merely due to simple pleurisy.
 Pope Leo has manifested great inter-
 
 Emmanuel to Paris. He has made many inquiries regarding the plans for the trip.
 A seInioficial organ of the govern ment says: Tn view of the condition of the pope, which occasions deep sus- pense throughout the Catholic world, the visit of King Victor Emmanuel to France has been postponed by a com mon accord between the French and Italian governments.
 A general feeling of tranquility marked the day in Rome, due to the widespread belief that, though the pops's days are numbered, his hour has not yet come. The sublime self conf dence of the patient permeates the peo- pie, especially the simpler folk, who go about their days work, postponfng signs of sorrow and mourning until from the sick bed itself they hear that the unusual struggle Is nearing its end. There is foretoad almost apathetfcally a repetition daring the next few days of that exceptional medical history of recoveries and relapses which have so as4onisked the world this week. That no doctor will lend the weight of his opinion to uphold this popular impres- sion in no way affects the prevailing Idea of the Romans. Nothing is more wonderful than the pope himself, they say; hence miracles are not out of the question.
 The news of the second operation sent cardinals and ambassadors driv- lng hurriedly to the Vatican. The son. Der black carriages and horses of the former, relieved only by glimpses of the scarlet robes worn by the pale faced occupants, entrusted strangely with the brilliant equipages of the am bassadors. Outside St. Peters the ortfi- nary visitors hurried past the Swiss guards and ascended the staircase lead ing to the inner court of the Vatican.
 A small crowd of men, women and children of all descriptions besieged the door where the news was to be given out From the Castle of St. An seio came the boom of the midday gun, and then the Paiatfne guard gave the signal for the anxious crowd to be ad- mitted- Passing through the corridor each received a slip of white paper on which the bulletin was already printed. Intent1y reading these papers, the crowd filed out through another door past the armed guard and into the quiet streets. During the remainder of the day but few of the public sought the Vatican. Then came the night bulletin, and far larger crowds than had gath cred during the day wandered to the Vatican in the cool of the evening. The Swiss guards had received instructions only to admit small portion of the in quirers prior to the printing of the bul- letin, and even this restricted number almost filled the court Of the Vatican, while many waited in suspense on the steps of St. Peters.
 Dor once the doctors have succeeded in overriding Pope Leo's iron will He had firmly decided to receive three car dinals. This decision followed his con- ciusion to daily receive one of each rank of cardinals--namely, cardinal bishops, cardinal deacons and cardinal priests. The last named body had shown considerable irritation at not seeing the pontiff and at being com pelled to get news of his condition through devious outside channels Therefore, following Cardinal Rampol- las visit, the pope decided to receive one of each of these classes of cardi- nals. After the second operation he re- quested the doctors to leave the room, saying he wished to see the cardinals The doctors gently but firmly protest ed, declaring that he was still too weak. 'But l shall not be fatigued, as I feel much better this morning." argued the pope. Bat the doctors insisted, urging that it was for his own good, and Pope Leo finally yielded, although express ing the hope that he might see some of the cardinals later.
