rho Pontiff has suffered another re-

,rorA critical condition than at any

ting accompanied by still greater de-
occasion than during yesterday, are
roo,arded as symptoms of the gravest
nature and as pointing to an imml-
nent dissolution.
Even in the early evening medical
oninion was less pessimistic, and Dr.
Nazzoni thought the end was not with
in sight. He expressed the belief that

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
orful stimulants are being constantly
administered.
SnNs He Was Too Active.
Some attribute the Pontiff's extreme
weakness tonight to the excessive
mental and physical effort undertaken
Yesterday in receiving visitors, hear
ing mass, etc.
Never before has the patients weak
ness nrogresses as it did yesterday. For
the first time since his illness the
PontiA asked to have the shutters al
most closed as the light hurt his
eyes. he begged to be left as quiet as
possible
Another noteworthy symptom OF his
weakening condition was the docility
d with which he took his medicine and
nourishment. Previously, indeed dur
ing his whole life, Pope Leo has been
against the prescriptions of doctors, or
anything which had the aspect OF pc
ing forced upon him. His feeling OF
fatigue and indifference was inter-
preted as a sign that his vitality was
fast diminishing.
Late last evening nine cardinals, in
Guiding Satolli and Martinelli, were
admitted to the sick room, but the
Pope could not even speak to them,
merely giving them his hand to kiss.
Organs Tired Out.
Dr. Rossoni was reported to have
said in an interview yesterday:
The Pope's pulse reaches 80 pulsa-
tons and over. Just calculate how
MANY times it has pulsated in SO years,
and you understand that in his present
condition 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
Popes condition. King Edward has
instructed the British ambassador, Sir
Francis BERTHE, to telegraph twice
he or 10 nf
The Tribuna last night printed state
ment that the Pope's real ailment was
cancer of the liver. Dr. Mazzoni char
acterizes the statement as stupid
alsehood, without an atom of founda-
ton.
Turn for the Worse.

less one, particularly during the early
morning hours. The official bulletin

seemed to lose his grasp on tangible

room. The doctor and the attendant
succeeded in quieting his fears.
outside these passing periods OF
oppression, the general condition OF
mental alertness continues. When DIS.

about DR.. Rossoni, asking, why
