POPE Plus BETTER

PRECAR|QUS
Has Had Two Good Days and
May Recover
FEVER REMAINS LOWER
Doctors Issue Bulletin That Give
Hope That the Crisis Has Been
Passed.

Rome, April 1S.-Medical skill ano
strong vitality have combined to bring
a more hopeful change in the condi
ton of Pope Plus. The official bulle
tins issued yesterday relieved present
anxiety, but there are some who are
skeptical and fear third relapse, ow
ing to the general weakness of the
MONTH"; and because he is inclined tc
disobey the orders of the attending
physician. The bulletin issued at
O'Clock last night was of a reassuring
character. 1t said: His holiness
passed a good day without fever. This
evening his temperature is SO degrees
The improvement in the bronchial
symptoms continues"
Early yesterday the pope declared
that he felt better than at any time
since his first relapse, The sun pour
ing into the chamber impelled him TO
leave his bed, which he did without
assistance. On such occasions 1t is
the pope's suction to order his atten-
,dants out of the room, and they reluc-
family obey him, but watch, unobserv-
ed, through the half-open door, fear
ing an accident. Cardinal Merry del
Val, the papal secretary of state, visit
ed the pope last evening, and, having
first obtained permission from the doc
tors, submitted for his signature sew
eral DEGREES on important questions
of an urgent character. Pope Plus
signed them, and his handwriting was
firm and clear, and showed no change
from his writing before his illness.
The deep concern of the Italian gov
eminent in the illness of the pope
was manifested yesterday when a re-
quest was made to those in charge of
the case for statement. regarding
the prognosis. This was met with the
declaration that it was practically inn
possible to say whether the pontiff
would recover but that II he did his
condition hereafter might be consid-
cred precarious.
