tation. Dr. Mazzoni replied that he had
not the least objections to such con-
sultation, but that the symptoms and
course of the disease were so clear and
well defined as to leave no doubt as to
the diagnosis. He therefore was un-
able to see the necessity for the step
proposed. No decision has yet been
reached about the matter.
The Morning Bulletin.
The physicians in attendance upon
Pope Leo Wednesday morning posted
the following bulletin:
THE night passed TRANQUILITY enough,
although the pontiff had no restorative
sleep. The pulse was frequent, but
regular. Breathing was as free as
Monday night. The condition of the
pope does not permit of a long exam
1nation, but it seems that the pneu-
mon1a tends to solve itself and that the
pleuric liquid Is not regathering. How
ever, the general condition of the pa
tient is not tranquillizing because of
the state OF depression which at inter-
walls increases.
(Signed) "LAPPON1.
''MAZZONI."
AS can be seen by the bulletin, the
pope's condition is not so favorable as
1t was Tuesday night, due to the fact
that the improvement after the opera
t1on Of Tuesday has not assumed the
proportions the doctors wished. While
the Inflammation of the lungs is de-
creasing, the patients general condi-
ton does not improve, and there is a
tendency towards a radical change for
the worse. The pontiff is extremely
weak, and even chloroform seems to
have lost its power to give the sufferer
the relief of tranquil rest. Besides,
what depresses the pope is the difficulty
he is experiencing in breathing. At
times he appears to be upon the point
of strangulation, and then his breath
ing gradually becomes weaker, until his
heart apparently stops.
Another great preoccupation Of the
doctors is the arrangement of the pa
TENTS kidneys, as result of which blood
poisoning is feared.
The outlook now is that the pope's
life may perhaps be prolonged more
than could have been expected 36 hours
ago, but the hopes of his recovery are
still very small.
Statement of the Doctor.
DR.. Mazzoni, speaking about the pope,
remarked:
1T has always been said that Pope
Leo has shown powers Of extraordinary
resistance to diseases of the constitu-
ton, enjoys the absolute harmony
Of all his organs and of his phys
ical, moral and intellectual quail
ties, which is the real cause of his
great resistance to illness. Notwith-
standing his advanced age and his pres
ent sickness, the pope has constitu-
ton capable of enabling him to recover
The difficulties and delicacy of the mo-
ment are created by the personality of
the pope. He is very sensitive man,
and person to whom simple injec-
ton of caffeine causes great suffering
for about three hours. Three years ago,
when I operated on him for a cyst, it
was said he did not suffer, but in reality
he did suffer intensely.
1.-The liquid taken yesterday from the
pleura may gather again and another
operation may be necessary, but hope
not Some of the liquid may remain,
and often the little which is left is spon-
taneously absorbed, which may be the
case with the pontiff."
Inquiries Are Numerous.
Rome, July 9.-The arrival of tele-
grams from all parts Of the world ad-
dressed to the vatican has been so nu-
merous that the minister Of posts and
telegraphs has been Obliged to recall
clerks who had gone on their summer
vacations, besides establishing special
service in the transmission, delivering
and replying to dispatches to and from
the vatican.
Emperor William, King Edward, King
Leopold. King Alfonso, and the queen
mother, the prince of Montenegro. En-
peror Francis Joseph, the king Of
saxony, and King Carlos Of Portugal,
make frequent inquiries by telegraph
as to the condition of Pope Leo.
