what would appear to be miracle
against all former experiences and the
laws of science, is uniting everybody,

preme wish to see the Pope out OF
danger
A iridium for the Pope's recovery
was commenced to-day and will con-

miliars
A dispatch from Turin announces
that even in that cradle of the house
of Savoy, which wrested temporal
power from the Vatican, the people
are dominated by anxiety regarding
the Pope's condition. The inhabitants
to-day formed an imposing procession,
headed by priests, and slowly marched
through the streets, chanting the in
tercessions. at the Church of Con-
solata the Archbishop of Turin, Car
dinal Richelmy, himself a possible sue
cessOr of the Pope, addressed the mui-
titude and pronounced a eulogium Of
Pope Leo, declaring that his death
would be an irreparable loss to the
Church of Rome.
British Made Inquiries.
The British government has been OBJ
liged to forego the CUSTOM dating back
many years, of holding no diplomatic
intercourse with the Vatican. To-day
the government cabed direct to Car
dinal Rampola as secretary of state,
saying a cable message had been re-
ceiyed from the government of New
Zealand, inquiring about the Pope's
health, and requesting an answer in
order to transmit to Premier Seldom.
Considerable significance was attached
at the Vatican to this incident
Mgr. Falconio tonight sent the fol-
lowing cablegram 20 Cardinal Rampol-
la at Rome:
Heartfelt thanks for your consoling
message"
1t is reported that in the last med
zeal bulletin regarding the Popes con-
dition the doctor omitted to state that
the action of the kidneys had inn
proved, wishing before making this
announcement to have positive EVIL
dence.
DR.. Lapponi, speaking to the Spanish
ambassador. who had visited the Vail
can to inquire regarding the condition
of the POntff, said:
This is the first night when it can
be said that there is real amelioration
of the patients heart trouble. That or
gan is getting stronger and the posi-
bility OF Pope Leo's recovery is not
excluded
Cardinal SatoiIi Talks.
Cardinal Satolli received a represent
tative of the Associated Press at the
palace of St. John Lateran this after
noon, and in the course of an interest
ing conversation confirmed the report
that the Pope had recently expressed
4 wish TO be buried in the magnificent
Lateran basilica, which has been under
Cardinal Satollis charge since his re-
turn from the United States. In the
library where the cardinal received the
reporter were displayed a number of
souvenirs of his stay in America, and
also some rare religious works of art
personal mementos of Pope Leo's cor
dial friendship for him.
Il saw His Holiness only last night"
said the cardinal. land he was very
very weak. He has begun to lose the
power of enunciating his words clear
~, and his tongue seems TO have some
strange impediment but his mind con-
tinues to be perfectly clear, and he
does not appear to have any realiza ton
of the gravity of his case. For in
stance, the Congregation of Rites, over
which the Pope presdes, had fixed a
time for considering the question of
canonzation of Joan of Arc. The Holy
Father kept this in mind, and, notwith-
standing his condition, sent for Amici.
the meeting temporarily put off, saying
he greatly regretted not being able to
meet the congregation at the appointed
time, next Tuesday, but he would GER
tainly be able to meet the congrega-
ton soon"
Says He Cannot Live
Cardinal satoln cited this incident
as showing that the Pontiff regarded
his present illness as one from which
he would recover at least sufficiently
to resume direction of important ques-
tions Of church policy But after men
tioning the matter, the cardinal shook
his head mournfully and said he felt
fully satisfied that the Holy Father
could not live more than few days
longer.
Although his mind is perfectly clear
and wonderfully vigorous" the cardi.
nal added the Pontiff's outward evi.
dence of strength is deceptive. and is
in reality due to the unremitting use
of powerful stimulants, chiefly caf-
feline; indeed, the constant adminiStra-
ton of stimuants principally sustains
his strength and life at this time. and
Immediately after the effect of the
stimulants passes away he relapses
into extreme weakness. This is due
in part to the peculiar sensitivenesS
of the Holy Fathers nerves, which al
most instantly respond to artificial
stimulants, and at the same time i'm
mediately collapse after these stimu-
lants are withdrawn"
The cardinal asked whether the
Pope made a testamentary request re.
garding his final resting place, re-
piled:
Yes; but that was some time
ago, perhaps a year back, when he
made his will he expressed a desire
that after he had rested the usual pc
Rod Of one year at St Peters that
his final resting place should be here
