The Days Bulletins.
$40 a. m-Judging from what leaks out
from the bedroom of the pope, the con-
dition of the patient this morning seems
to be substantially unchanged His holt
ness is restless and himself awaits i'm
patiently this mornings visit Of the doc
tors. He asked DR.. Lipponi: when will
Mazzoni come?'' Immediately" was the,
answer, "if your holiness wishes"
NO. said the pope, Il merely desired
to know the approaching time"
DR.. Lapponi then informed his holiness
that DR.. Mazzoni would be there about
$3.50 o'clock. 4
Talked With Rampoio.
ITO p. m.-The pope asked to see Car
dinal Rampolla, the papal secretary OF
state, at 10 o'clock this morning. The
pope said he had seen with pleasure how
the sacred college was interested In his
person and he was equally gratified at the
manifest attentions from the good people
Of Rome. ' -
After this his holiness asked Cardinal
Rampolla whether there were any urgent
affairs to deal with, and the cardinal
made a short summary Of the principal
pending questions. The pope interested
himself in all Of them and the converse
ton turning again to the pontiff's condi-
weakness has always been my great
est proclivity.''
DR.. Lapponi on leaving the pope's bed
room at o'clock this afternoon, said:
II cannot yet say that hope, but no
longer despair" = t....
3:45 p. m.-Word comes from the sick
room that while the general condition
of the pope continues satisfactory it Is
not desirable to take an over-optimlstic
| view as a relapse may occur at any time.
Signs of Improvement.
| 2:15 p. m.-By special favor the CORE
| spondent Of the Associated Press here
was allowed this morning to visit the
| papal apartment, where he had an inter-
view on the situation with a parsonage
who is better informed than any one else,
| but who from motives easily understood
| does not wish his name mentioned He
| said: .-... r.....
"The first positive sign of amelioration
in the pope's condition since he became i'll
was seen this morning. The august pa
tient rested well enough during a great
part of the night. 1t was not the sleep
of prostratton or collapse, but peaceful
and natural, SO much, so that the benefit
is quite visible this morning. His tenn
! perature is SO, which is quite normal for
the pontiff, considering his age and pres
ent condition.
What Is important Is that his temper
| ature never rose above normal and never
| even approached a feverish state. He
| now has slight cough and his kidneys
| are still deranged, but the secretion OF
| urine altho very scarce, is somewhat aug
| mented which proves that his heart is
stronger and his circulation better as
demonstrated by the complete disappear
ance of cyanosis, SO that his hands have
again taken their natural, almost diaphan-
Gus aspect.
l. Pope Is Shaved. -.'.
THE pope was sufficiently we'll this NOR
ming to be shaved. His functional disor.
ders have passed and consultation with
other physicians Is now considered to be
unnecessary. ..-s....
"Dr. Lappon1 this morning informed the
prelates who were waiting in the ante
chamber that he had examined the matte
which the pope had expectorated thru
coughing and was able to confirm hi
diagnosis, having found traces of blood
clearly demonstrating the existence o
pneumonia. r.. &
Every one noticed that while in tn
past DR.. Lapponi never participated II
the rejoicing and enthusiasm over tn
announced or imaginary amelioration II
the pope's condition, remaining always eX
tremely reserved and misunderstanding, rhi
r morning, for the first time, DR.. Lapponf
face was tranquil and even hopeful-look
, ing, tho it was said that he was very ia
from believing in a real, definite and last
: ing improvement which would lead to tn
pontiffs recovery.
Felt Much Stronger.
Pope Leo himself noticed at once o.
! waking this morning that he was niue
refreshed and stronger and he said, wit
inimitable energy, that he wanted to re
sumo his ordinary life. He insisted O.
dressing himself almost entirely and aft
l erwards walking to his usual arm chair
. where he sat down. and, for the first tim
since he became i'll; went thru his com
plete toilet arrangements. He was no
. satisfied until he had been shaved, hi
