He Sits Up.

During the afternoon the pope felt
strong enough to get up. He rose,
dressed himself alone and went to sit in
his usual armchair, where he remained
for some time. Then the windows were
opened for change of air, the sun
streaming in, together with light, re-
freshing breeze from the Mediterranean.
Late in the afternoon he received Car
dinals Matthew, Steinhuber Agliardi and
Casali. The pope showed his usual
brightness and lucidity of mind and
spoke to each without showing any per-
ceptible fatigue. To Cardinal Matthew
his holiness said: 81 have not ceased
for one moment TO pray to God to protect
France and have the men now governing
her repent and stop the persecution of
the church"
Later the pontiff took short nap and
slept TRANQUILITY enough, although he
seemed to have somewhat more diff
Guilty in breathing. The doctors re-
turned at 7:30 p. m. and their evening
bulletins gave negative encouragement,
simply showing that the favorable con-
.ditions of the morning had been main
tanned Throughout the day ST. Peters
was surrounded by the usual Sunday
worshipers and steady lines of inquir-
ers visited the vatican courtyard, where
the bulletins are issued. Unusual rigor
was adopted to prevent unseemly gath
erings. One notable instance of vatican
sternness was the arrest of Capt. Smith,
commanding the Swiss guard, for hav-
ing given information to the press.

ALL SIGNS ARE
FOR The BETTER
Condition of the Pontiff Gives Cause
for Hope.
PASSES A TRANQUIL SUNDAY.
Participates in Celebration of Mass
Rises from His Bed and Re-
ceiVes Some of His
Cardinals.

Rome, July II, $50 a. m.-The fol-
lowing bulleting regarding the condi-
ton of Pope Leo has just been posted:
The pope passed a tranquil night,
having several hours sleep, which
manifestly benefited his general condi-
ton. His holiness pulse is less small
and somewhat stronger, the pulsation
being 81. His respiration is 80, and
temperature SO centigrade. URN scarce.
(Signed) ''MAZZONI.
"LAPPONI."
1t is announced that the use of oxygen
has been entirely abandoned, as the res
piration of his holiness has improved.
During the night the pope rested easily.
For the first time he did not feel any
i'll effects from his reclining position,
and the doctors construe this to mean
that there is no renewal of the pleuric
secretion which previously, when the
patient was reclining, pressed against
the lung
Progress Is shown.
Pope Leo has lived to see another
Sunday, and with the Sabbath quiet
which fell upon Rome came also peace
and even progress to the pontiff Be
ginning Sunday morning with distinct
signs of improvement, he maintained
this throughout the day Sunday night
DR.. Lapponi made the following impor-
tant statement in answer to the ques-
ton if he believed that the improve
ment in the pope's condition could con-
tinue:
Il believe that if the Improvement
lasts until July 81 we may not perhaps
secure such a general state of health in
the patient as will allay our anxiety"
Patient Hears Mass.
| During the morning the pontiff partic-
ipated in the celebration of mass. The
ceremony was held in the chapel adj
joining the sick chamber, Mgr Mazzoni
being the celebrant. The door connect
ing the sick room with the chapel was
opened so that his holiness might fol-
low the service. He insisted that DR.
leave his side and enter the chapel in
order to better hear the mass.
An Encouraging Bulletin.
The history of the day was compare.
lively uneventful. The pontiff had sew.
eral hours repose, DR.. Lapponi resting
near him throughout the night. The
physician twice administered injections
to him, once of digitalis to strengthen
the heart, and another injection OF
camphor caffeine to overcome the pa
TENTS growing depression. Sunday
morning found the pontiff with spirits
bright and the conditions generally i'm
proved Dr. Mazzoni joined his as
sistant at 500 a. m. and after a brief
conference issued the most encouraging
official bulletin thus far given. Besides
summarizing the satisfactory PATHOLOGY
cal conditions, the doctor gave the
cheering tidings that the pontiff's con-
dition had manifestly improved. The
pulse, which went down yesterday to SO
had risen to SO, while the temperature
and respiration showed no abnormal
characteristics.
