over optimistic view of the outlook,

led to such supposition.

ROME, July 9, sos p.m.-Dr.
Rossoni has just arrived at the sick
room, in consequence of the sudden
change for the worse in the condi-

this afternoon with diarrhoea, ap-
parently caused by the large guam
tity of food he had taken, and to
which he is unaccustomed, together
with his extreme weakness. The
new development in its turn aug
ments his weakness.

All of the historic points Of interest are
