CONDITION OF LEO.
PONTIFF SAID TO BE SLOWLY
SINKING MONDAY.
Condition of His Kidneys Found to Be
Bad and lie Sees Shadows-MentaI
Confusion Appears, with Dizziness
Relieved by Stimuiauts.

Monday afternoon the malady against
which Pope Leo has kept up SO marvel
Gus a struggle for nearly two weeks
seemed to be making inroads upon his
wonderful constitution, enfeebled by his
years and greatly weakened by his most
recent illness.
Two new symptoms that developed
caused grave apprehension. Examina-
ton showed that his kidneys were per-
forming their function less perfectly, and
about noon his holiness suffered o. at
tack of dizziness that was attended with
feeting Authorizations.
The dizziness from which the Pope
suffered was a kind of mental confusion,
during which he seemed to lose con-
sciousness of his surroundings, while he
believed he saw a vision. After recover
ing somewhat he said that he thought
he saw an underlined shadow moving
about the room and slowly approaching
his bed, whereupon he became agitated
and called for his valet, Pho Contra, say
ing:
"Pio! Pho. Who is it? Who is ?"
DR.. Lapponi and Contra went to the
PATIENTS bed and soon succeeded In quiet
ing him.
Incidents at the Vatican.
At both the Vatican and the house of
DR.. Dapponi patent medicines, surgical
instruments and apparatus of all kinds
have been received, accompanied by as
surances that his holiness would recover
If they were used according to direc-
tons. From Vienna came machines for
producing artificial respiration and for
making oxygen.
Mgr. Pifferi, confessor of his holiness,
felt offended because he was not allow
ed to enter the sick chamber. He was
especially dissatisfied with the attend
ing physicians, believing it was because
of them that he is excluded. Monday
morning he again asked to be permitted
to see Pope Leo. On hearing the re-
quest the pontiff said, "When need him
l shall send for him." and Mgr. Pifferi
left the Vatican, considering himself an
injured man.
According to the rules for the govern
ment of the Noble Guard, one of the
principal duties is to watch assiduously
the person of the Pope when his holt
ments passing under the guards respon-
sbility during such periods. After 1870
there was a gradual curtailment of ex-
penses at the Vatican, and this resulted
in a reduction in numbers of the Noble
Guard, which now contains about forty
men. Not all of these are at the Vari-
can, owing to illness or other causes, and
the work of those on duty is heavy, as
they mount guard six at a time, for six
hours.
