Waiting for the End to
Come

WASHINGTON, July THE Papal
Legation has received at $50 this
morning the blowing cablegram from
Cardinal Rampolla:
Holy Father today no worse. Con-
dition very grave"
ROME, July 7.-3:45.-The follow
ing bulletin has just been issued:
The text puncture of the pleura
has been made and 500 grams CT liq-
uid have been taken Off A rapid ex-
animation showed that some mucous
was rafting in the lung which was or
Iginally affected.
The Pope underwent one operation
with courage. His gene. al condition
is now better and he is resting"
ROME, July IA p. m.-After the
operation DR.. MaZzoni said the danger
remained imminent but the Illness
from which the Pope was suffering
was full of surprise. His Holiness
might even live three days longer.
ROME, July THE Pope has taken
night. His pulse shows a slight i'm
provement. At ha,f-past six O'Clock
this morning he left bed for an arm
chair Previously he had twice taken
Il raw egg and a little brandy, and
slept for short time. His Holiness
viii perhaps live Throughout the day.
ROME, July Another morning
nas broken on the pathetic scene with
N the simple chamber OF the Vatican,
where Pope Leo lies dying. AS the
soft light OF dawn peneti aIed into the
.oom the Pontiff whispered to his
4evoted physician tnat he desired the
,hutters OF the windows to be opened,
saying:

These seemingly last moments OF
POPE Leo are full of solemnity. Per-
laps his last hours would be less mel

duration of time remaining to him be-

physical powers are at the lowest ebb
and MS breathing becomes more la

Jrght, expressive eyes. and the few
words he now and then succeeds in
altering. The scene is so touching
tnat those present can scarce RESTRAIN

he stood bowed beside the bed, Pope
Leo laid his hand on his head with pa
