The Morning Bulletin.


'MAZZONI."
The Morning Bulletin.
Rome, July 14.-At 9:15 o'clock Mon
day morning the doctors issued the fol-
lowing bulletin regarding the condition
of the pope:
up to midnight the pontiff remained
tranquil, but afterwards he experienced
agitated intervals. A physical exam
ination of the thorax shows no change
since day before yesterday. The action
of the kidneys continues slight, and the
general condition of his holiness is
somewhat depressed. His pulse is 81,
respiration 80 and temperature 36 cent?
grade.
(SigneO "LAPPONI,
"MAZZONI."
Patient Slightly Worse.
The pope's condition took turn
slightly for the worse Monday morn
ing, but the change does not excite ap-
prehension of an immediate climax.
Sunday night was rather a sleepless one,
particularly during the early morning
hours. The official bulletin frankly
speaks of agitated periods during the
night and confesses that the general
condition of the patient is somewhat
, more depressed. 1t developed soon
after the issuance of the bulletin that
this depression was quite marked. and
it continued to manifest itself through
out the forenoon, at one time assuming
an alarming aspect. This was when
the pope seemed to lose his grasp on
tangible surroundings. For the first
time since his illness began there was
a momentary hallucination, the patient
believing that shadow fitted through
the room. The doctor and the attend
ant succeeded in quieting his fears.
Outside of these passing periods of de-
preston, the general condition of
mental alertness. continues When
Drs. Mazzoni and Lapponi made their
morning call the patient inquired
about DR.. Rossoni, asking: ''Why
doesn't he come to see me?"
Being told that DR.. Rossoni was i'll,
he said: "Tell him he must take care
of himself"
At seven p. m. the pope's condition was
growing worse. Contrary to the ar
rangement made for daily reception of
three cardinals, none was permitted to
enter the sick chamber Monday
Is Almost Unconscious.
The dizziness from which the pope
suffered was kind of mental confusion,
during which he seemed to lose con-
sciousness of his surroundings, while
he believed he saw a vision He ex-
planned afterwards that he thought he
saw an underlined shadow moving about
the room and slowly approaching his
bed, whereupon the pontiff became agi-
tated and called for his valet, Pho Cen
ira, saying:
'Pio! Pho! Who is 1t? Who is it?"
Dr. Lapponi and Centra rushed to the
patients bed and soon succeeded in
tranquillizing him. ...
Kidneys Are Worse.
1t developed during the morning, as
the result of careful medical examina-
tion, that the condition of the pope's
kidneys is worse, as the component
parts of the urine are not normal. The
diminution of certain elements leads the
doctors to feaI that his system is grad
ually approaching state Of dissolu-
tion. No traces of albumen were found,
indicating, although the kidneys are not
performing their functions properly,
that they are not themselves organically
diseased. #@% ..:.
Predicts Day of Death.
Pope Leo is credited with having said:
IF I am destined to die from this ill
ness feel shall expire on Thursday,
the feast day of the Carmelite Madonna,
whom specially worship"
This presentiment is remarkable be-
cause in certain way it coincidents
with the prophecy made in the twelfth
century by st. Malachy, the bishop Of
Armagh, who predicted that Pope Leo
would be succeeded by pope symbolic
ing the motto "Ignes Ardens," (burning
f1re) .t
The Carmelite Madonna is the
patroness of the Carmelite order, which
attributes its origin to the prophet
Elijah who ascended to Heaven in q
chariot of fire. Besides, member and
protector of this order is Cardinal Gotti,
who is looked upon as the most likely
successor to the pontifcate
