of the disease were so clear and we'll
defined as to leave no doubt as to the
diagnosis. He. therefore. was unable
to see the necessity for the step pro-
posed. No decision has yet been reach
ed about the matter.
Rebellion of Cardinals.
1t became known later in the day
that the motive for DR.. Mazzonis sud-
den call by Cardinal Rampolla origi-
mated in what Vatican circles have al
ready baptized as the rebellion of the
cardinals, against DR.. Lapponi 1t
appears that some of the cardinals
complained of the doctors treatment of
the patient thinking that DIR. Lapponi
had not since the beginning detected
that the Pope was suffering from an
affection of the pleura, and thus, they
said, allowing the disease to assume a
gravity which otherwise might perhaps
have been avoided DIR. Lapponi, who
is supported by DIR. Mazzon, indig-
nantly repudiated the idea. However,
the criticising cardinals not only
maintained their view, but succeeded
in reaching the ear of Cardinal Ram
polla. Besides, the Pope's relatives
proposed that a consultation be held
with the most illustrious physicians,
naming DIR. Antonio Cardarella and
DR.. Guido Pacelli.
Will Have Consultation.
But, apart from the question of
hurting DR.. Lapponi's feelings, further
difficulty thereupon arose, owing to
the existing relations between church
and state. DR.. Cardarelli is an Italian
| senator, thus making him obnoxious to
the papal party.
DR. Pacelli's position is even more
| difficult. In addition to having been
| a member of the Chamber of Depu-
ties for thirty years he is minister
of commerce, industry and agriculture.
In spite of these objections, the
| wishes of the Pecci family were re-
| spected and it was announced that
| Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni would con-
| suit with DR.. Cardarelh tomorrow
| morning.
The Morning Bulletin.
The physicians in attendance upon
| Pope Leo at 9:45 O'Clock this morning
posted the following bulletin:
| THE night passed TRANQUILITY enough,
| although the Pontiff had no restora-
| tive sleep. The pulse was frequent, but
! regular. Breathing was as tree as last

not permit of long examination, but 1t

is not regathering. However, the gen

tranquilizing because of the state of de
| preston which at intervals increases.
! AS can be seen by the morning bulle-
| tin, the Pope's condition to-day is not
| so favorable as it was last night, Que
| to the fact that the improvement after
| the operation of yesterday has not as

lungs is decreasing, the patients gen
eral condition does not improve, and
| there is a tendency towards radical
| change for the worse. The Pontim IS
| extremely weak, and even chloral
seems to have lost it's power to give
| the sufferer the relief of Tranquil rest
Besides, what depresses the Pope is the
| difficulty he is experiencing in breath-
| ing.
At Times Nearly StranGies.
At times he appears to be upon the
point of strangulatiOn, and then ms
breathing gradually becomes weaker
until his heart apparently stops.
Another great preoccupation of the
doctors is the arrangement of the pa
TENTS kidneys, as result Oh winch
| misunderstanding is feared.
The outlook now is that the Pope's
life may perhaps be prolonged more
Than could have been expected thirty
six hours ago, but the hopes of his re-
covery are still very small.
The following particulars were OBJ
tanned of the doctors visit this morn
ing to the Pope:
@How feels His Holiness?" asked DR..
Mazzoni. >,
Il do not feel as well. 1 am weaker"
replied the Pontiff.

ciently?"

to-day should be a day of great work.
Surely" DR.. Mazzoni replied his

"Certainlv." answered the Pope. Il

afraid / have not the strength.
Got Uc and walked.
Roth of the doctors then proceeded to
convince the Pontiff of the necessity
for rest. urging him not to place ID
stacles in the way of his recovery.
at shall do as you wish" said the
pope. in conclusion, with sigh OF
resignation.
Afterwards His Holiness expressed a
desire to rise, saying he would be more
comfortable in his armchair.
The Popes attendant, Pho Centra'
then proceeded to help him to arise
but the Pope refused his assistance
saving he could still move by himself,
In fact, without any help except tnat
afforded by his cane, the Pontif walk
ed a few steps to his armchair re
heating now and then:

Part of the work referred to by the
