general condition improved.
At 5;2j o'clock the pope Is asleep.
The condition OF his lungs Is no worse.
There Is as yet no suspicion OF serum
gathering again IN the pleura. but the
disorder of his Kidneys Is dsquieting.
During the early part Of the night his
holiness was somewhat restless The
occasional brief periods of sleep were
disturbed by difficulty In breathing.
DR.. Lapponi and the pope's valet, Cen
ira, did their best TO nourish the pa
tlent at brief intervals The pontiff
spoke little and seemed much de-
pressed. Choral and caffeine were adj
mnistered with good effects. About
sunrise the pontiff fell into a more
restorative sleep than he had all night.
The official bulletin OF the pope's con-
dition was ISSUED at S:lj last evening as
follows; "The remainder Of the day
has passed without recurrence Of faint
Ing attacks. The pulse Is less frequent
but little more regular The breath
ing IL calm and the general condition
improved. MAZZONI.'
About o'clock last evening Dr. MAJ
zonl was suddenly called out Of the sick
chamber by Cardinal Rampolla and a
hurried whispered conversation ensued.
This gave rise to all kinds Of rumors.
1t became known later In the day
that the motive for Dr.. Ma2zon's sud
den call by Cardinal Rampolla orgi-
mated In what vatican circles have al
ready baptized the Rebellion Of the
Cardinals" against Dr. Lapponi II
appears that some Of the cardinals
complained OF the doctors treatment
of the patient. thinking that D., L"u-
pOn had not since the beginning de-
tected that the pope was suffering
from an affection OF tho pleura and
thus, they said allowing the disease
to assume srayity which otherwise
might perhaps have been avoided
Dr. Lappon who is supported by
Dr. Mazzoni, Indignantly repudiated
the idea. Both Of the doctors declared
that barely five days have elapsed
since the pope become M and they
claim that three days ago they de-
tccted water in the pleura and added
that 1t was not possible when the liquid
was just gathering. nor was IL prudent
considering the age and weakness Of
the pontiff, to risk test puncture be-
fore having almost certainly detected
the presence OF serum
However, the cnuCizing cardinals
not only maintained their view, but
succeeded in reaching the ear Of Cardl-
nal RampOlla Besides this the popes
relatives proposed that a consultation
be held with the most ilustrlous physi-
clans, naming Dr. Antonio Cardarei
and Dr.. Guido Bacceli. But apart
from the question Of hurting DR. lap
pOni's feelings, further difficulty there
upon arose owing TO the existing rela-
lions between church and state. Dr.
Cardarelli was a member Of the cham
Der OF deputies for l6 years and is
now a senator, that Is to say, he
fills a position which has necessitated
not only taking the oath Of allegiance
10 the king and to support the consti-
tuition, but he has also sworn to obey
the Italian laws. including the papal
guarantees, which regulate the posi-
ton Of the papacy in regard to the
Italian state, thus making him obnoX-
ious TO the papal party
Dr. Baccellls position is even more
difficult. In addition to having been a
of the chamber Of deputies
for 30 years, he is actually a minis
ter Of the crown OF Italy, being minis.
ter Of commerce industry and agri-
culture. DR.. Baccelli occupies such a
high position In medical science that

he has often been called 10 the death
bed of prominent ecclesiastics, and was
