Pontiff'S Distress.
by ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Rome, July I6.-The pope's condition
today again assumed a grave aspect.
Besides the continuance Of the pontif's
extreme weakness, the doctors report indi-
Gates the ominous prospect OF another
operation for the removal of the pleuratc
liquid.
The pope continued restless, but had
several periods of comparative case
During one of these he gave another evil
dence Of his remarkable vitality by taking
holy communion during the celebration OF
mass in honor of the Madonna Of the Car
melites.
The ceremony was held in the chapel,
adjoining the sick room, the doors being
open.
Pathetically Solemn Event.
1t was pathctically solemn event. as by
the pope's request. those participating, be-
sides DR.. Lapponi and Pho Centra included
a number of his trusted domestics, five
sweepers and two porters.
The doctors are unable TO announce
definitely when the next operation will be
performed.
They fear ii may become necessary this
evening or tomorrow morning but they are
determined to defer il until it is i'm
perative. fearing that the enfcebled condi-
ton Of the patient may be taxed beyond
the final limit. Toward noon the pontih
dropped off into an uneasy sleep.
Passes Bad Night.
When DIR. Mazzoni visited the pontih
this morning the latter said the past night
had been one Of the worst he had expert
enced.
He spoke Of the oppression on his chest,
the difficulty in breathing and the uncon-
trollable restlessness, giving him in fact
no peace in any position.

him very often during the night, taking fire.

orangeade and tamarind water.
He felt better, however, after the cele-
bration of mass as though the communion
Gained him.
In fact, the doctors proceeded with a
thorough examination of his thorax with
out fatiguing him too much.
Liquid Is Augmented.
They found the liquid in the pleura aug
mented, but not gathered in such quantity
as to endanger the patients life by pro-
ducing pressure on the heart or through
asphyxia which might occur il there was

On account Of the extreme weakness OF
the pontif, no operation for extracting the
liquid will be performed until it is abso-
lutely indispensable.
But the operation might be performed
tonight or tomorrow morning.
The doctors hesitate to again perform

fao rinU that he aHnct NJ the
self involving the possibility of pressure
on the lungs, and consequently of the whole
apparatus of circulation, might be fatal.
Receive Many Congratulations.
The doctors have received many con-
gratulations from many authorities, with
most of whom they are not acquainted, on
their treatment of the pontiff.
Among these is a letter to DR.. Lapponi
from Professor Henri Huchard, member
of the academy of medicine at Paris.

The object Of the offer, he took it, was
10 set up a priority OF title to the veins

could not derive the right in question
from it,
