Improvement Resulting from Operation Not

DISSOLUTION NOW CONSIDERED IMMINENT

Grand Penitentiary Mannut

ROME, July 5, 1885 a. MAS can
be seen by the morning bulletin the
pope's condition today is not so ia.
vorable as it was last night due to
the fact that the improvement after
the operation of yesterday has not as.
sumed the proportions the doctors
wished. While inflammation of the
lungs is decreasing the patients gen
eral condition does not improve and
there is a tendency towards radical
change for the worse. The pontiff
is extremely weak and even chloro-
form seems to have lost its power to
give the sufferer relief or tranquil
rest. Besides what depresses the
pope is the difficulty he is experience
ing in breathing. At times he ap-
pears to be upon the point Of stran-
gulation and his breathing gradually
becomes weaker until his heart ap-
parently stops.
Another great cause of worry for
the doctors is the arrangement OF the
patients kidneys as result of which
blood poisoning is feared. The out
look now is that the pope's life may
perhaps be prolonged more than could
have been expected thirty-six hours
ago, but the hope Of his recovery is
still small
cyanosis Disappears.

" Milford, Dec. 15.--After hearing the evidence i'll the case of George w. Carey. the Bridgeport attorney who was charged with forgery and perjury in connection with his administration of the estate of the late John W. Ford, Judge Baldwin bound the respondent over. to the superior court under bonds of $3,0O0, which were furnished by Carey's relatives.
 Carey's attorney, ex-Judge DeForest, of Bridgeport, entered plea of not guilty, but the defense offered no tes- timony.
 The testimony against Carey was to the effect that he had used his power of attorney, given to him by Ford be- fore his death, in order to draw sums of money which he used for his own purposes. The testimony also showed that he had forged the name of his sis ter-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, of Stratford, to bond for sS,000. Mrs. Wheeler was in court and pronounced the signature forgery.
 Attorney Canfield, of Bridgeport, tes- tified that Carey. under oath and in the presence of witnesses, had acknowledg- l ed to him that he had forged the sigma ture. .s .e. ,,.l5 g$

INTERES DEBATE.

Harvard Professors Disouss United states' Panama Action.
 Boston, Dec. 15.-Two Harvard pro- fessors, A. B. Hart and Silas M. Mo Vane. recognized authorities on inter- national law, had an interesting debate tonight before the Economic club on the Panama canal and the new nation, the former defending the position of the United States government, while the latter satirically opposed it. After reviewing the history of Panama, and claiming that the administration was right until proved to be wrong, Profess sol. Hart, who opened the debate, said.
 tfThe United States was face to face with a deadlock, and the real difficulty in the Panama question was the out come of general and natural mistake, made by the United States forty years ago, in thinking that these Central American republics were real repub- lics.''
 In opposing the governments position Professor McVane said: During the civil war the United States resented all attempts at interference, and that at the present time the United States should not interfere in the Colombian difficulty.
 "The recognition of belligerents," he said, twas all that was possible under the provisions of international law. We cannot carry rough-rider methods and strenuousness into this. We are placed | in a position of 8 receiver of stolen rroadc Ac if is rdY7 r,1n1If he ara ch1If ii
