THE POPE STILL LIVES.
Remarkable Vitality Holds Out
AGAINST Disease,

Against Disease.
Rome, July 13.-Pope Leo has lived
to see another Sunday. The Sabbath
| quiet which fell upon Rome came also
Beginning yesterday morning with dis
tinct signs of improvement, he main
tanned this throughout the day. To-
night DR.. Lapponi made the following
important statement in answer to the
| question if he believed that the i'm
could continue: Il believe that If the
improvement lasts until July Fl, we
may not perhaps achieve an absolute
cure, but we will secure such general
state of health in the patient as will
allay our anxiety"
DuriAs the morning the pontiff par
ticipa.ed in the celebration of mass.
The ceremony was held in the chapel
adjoining the sick chamber, Mgr Mar
zoni being the celebrant. The door
connecting the sick room with the
chapel was opened so that his holiness
might follow the service. He insisted
that DR.. Lapponi and his valet Contra
should leave his side and enter the
chapel in order to better hear the
mass.
Dr. Mazzoni was also absent from
the pope's side, which in itself gave
the clearest evidence that the doctors
themselves were relieved of immediate
apprehension. DR.. Rossoni has been
taken sick with fever, and was pre-
vented from visiting the pope, as he
intended
During the afternoon the pope felt
strong enough to get up. He rose,
dressed himself alone in white, and
went to sit in his usual armchair,
where he remained for some time.
Then the windows were opened for a
change of air, the sun streaming in, to-
gether with light, refreshing breeze
from the Mediterranean. Later in the
afternoon he received Cardinals Ma
thieu, Steinhuber Agliardi and Casali.
The pope showed his usual brightness
and lucidity of mind, and spoke to each
without showing any perceptible ia
tigue. To Cardinal Matthew his holi-
ness said: 81 have not ceased for one
moment to pray God to protect France
and have the men now governing her
repent and stop the persecution of the
church"

RUssE DEFENSE DISCLOSED
Reasons Why Murder Should Escape
Hanonu

Des Moines, July 9.-The argument
of the attorneys for Louis Busse, un.
der conviction of murder and SEN
enced to death in Bremen county, for
the killing of his wife, was filed yes
terday, and the line of defense was
disclosed. The chief reason for ask
ing a new trial will be that it is claim
ed Busse was struck by his wife ever
the head with a chair as he came
home drunk and that because of this
he was greatly angcred and killed her,
and it was not by generalization or
malice, which must be present if the
death penalty is to be inflicted. Com
plant is made that the evidence, in
regard to Busse being drunk was ex-
cluded, and the alleged confession he
made was not introduced but only
what some persons said in regard to
the confession. 1t is evident that a
hard fight is to be made to get new
trial for Busse.

HISTORY OF ILLNESS.
Statement Published in Defense of
Doctors of the Pope.


Rome, July 9.-The newspapers
publish history of the pope's illness,
evidently inspired by Doctors Lapponi
and Mazzoni, who wish to defend
themselves from the attacks on their
diagnosis of the case, but it is inter-
esting as the first document giving
exact data from a medical point Of
view. The account runs as follows:
"On the morning of Tuesday, June
80, Pope Leo went for drive in the
clared that he had greatly benefited
by the fresh air, and wished to repeat
the drive. The pope said he felt no
need of a medical visit and informed
DR.. Lapponi not to go and see him.
During the night of Wednesday,
July /, Pope Leo complained of intes-
final disturbances, which he attribu-
ted to constipation. Notwithstanding
he went into the vatican gardens and
returned to his apartment, again feel
ing benefited from his drive.
ION Thursday he declared he felt
well, but DR.. Lapponi wishing to know
personally the nature of the distur-
bance complained of, spent the night
at the vatican. During the night the
pope was sleepless and restless.
"On Friday, DIR. Lapponi examined
the pope and found pulmonary inflam-
nation in the right of the thorax be-
tween the inferior and middle lobes,
He informed Cardinal Rampolla and
began the treatment which he thought
right on Saturday. During the day
the inflammation spread. DIR. Lap
! poni, worried, desired to have Pope
Leo seen by DR.. Mazzoni, who since
the operation in 1899, has visited the
pontiff occasionally, replacing DR..
Lapponi during his Illness with ap-
| pendicitis. -
"On Sundey, DIR. Mazzoni went to
the vatican and examined the pa
tent with DR.. Lapponi, confirmed the
| latter's diagnosis, viz: an infiamma-
tory process in the lung, which was
defined in the medical bulletin as pull
monary Repatriation. The original
treatment was continued, consisting
of supporting the strength of the
heart and general condition of the pa.
tient.
mo noticeable change was observ-
| ed until Monday evening. 1t was found
| that the lowest part of the right
Ghorax, which previously was pervious
| 10 respiration, had become impervi-
Gus, affecting the function of the lung.
| The presence Of liquid was suspected.
The pontiff spent an agitated and
| sleepless night.
"On Tuesday many symptoms con-
| firmed the presence of the liquid. It's
| increase was considered to account for
the pope's general condition growing
| worse. After test puncture, eight
hundred grammes of bloody liquid
| was extracted The condition of the
patient improved Immediately. The
amelioration In the condition OF the
patient was not continued during
J Tuesday. Indeed, depression gained

kIsHlNEv PETITION FIRST.
President Decides That the Manchur
ian Question Must Wait.

Washington, July 10.-The president
has decided that the matter of the Jew
ish petition must be finally disposed of
before any further effort is made here
to compose the issues arising out of the
Manchurian situation. Therefore, 1t is
now said that nothing is likely to be
done in regard to Manchuria until next
Sept, by which time, according TIC
the last Russian engagement, the evac-
uation of Manchuria by Russian troops,
save the railroad guards, should be
complete. 1t is understood that the
Russian government has set up as one
reason for not sanctioning the opening
of new ports in Manchuria, the neces-
sity of allowing her first to complete
the evacuation of Manchuria, and al
though the reasoning is rather obscure
on that point, it is understood that our
government is willing to wait until
September before making the next
move. 49,

any other citizen, but it would not
seem to be good policy for him to do
so. Let the parties fight it out on
their own line if it takes all the sum-
mer and part of the fall.
