About His Speedy Recovery.

physicians attending Pope Plus X
to fear untoward results upon the
patient. The chief cause for anx-
iety was that the raw air might
provoke fatal coughing spell or

Il A. M Atlanta time) this
afternoon it was announced that the
condition of Pope Plus y had re
NAMED stationary throughout the
morning and at that hour showed no
change.
Following the suggestion of Dr,
Marchisfava. all the cardinals in
Rome have written entreaties to the
Pope 10 follow the doctors orders so
that he might recover.
The condition Of the Pope was so
grave early to-day as to cause the
utmost alarm to his family and the
Roman Catholic officers of state in the
Vatican. yet the attending physicians
stln hold hope that the present crisis
may be passed safely
Danger Now From Pneumonia.
Il was admitted that the greatest
danger now is from form Of pneu-
monia. At 1850 this morning DR..
Marchiafava issued the following bull
lstir:
The Pope passed the night tran
quiIly. The broBehial symptoms
are reassuring. His Temperature
is 1924 The general condition Of
His Holiness is satisfactory.
This bulletin was issued after a
consultation between DR.. Marchiafara
and Dr Amici. the two Vatican ply
sigians who are attending the Pom
,iff.
At the consultation the two doctors
arrived at the conclusion that the
symptoms of bronchitis were not any
more advanced and probably could be
overcome.
Pope's Sisters at Bedside
Hope was taken from the reduction
Of the Pontif's temperature 10 9a-24,
which was about normal.
Shortly after midnight the Pope :
temperature reached 1O2, but little
later it began to go down.
DR. Amici and the two sisters Of
the Pope remained at the bedside all
night Liece Sarto left early in the
morning. but the other sister Anna
Sarto, remained until 9 o'clock. Her
face was drawn and haggard from her
long vigil and grief.
Upon leaving the Vatican. she was
hesieged by newspaper CORES pond
ents. She said that while the Pope
had spent a good night, his sleep at
times was broken by difficulty of
expiration. arising from the catarrhal
affection.

fuses to yield to the last effort CT John
Lind and this government to have him
get out and not replace himself with a
man who is also Objectionable. But the
committee members have been advised
that the president wants to handle the
situation himself and wants the COM
mittee to keep away from 1t for the
present. He may communicate his ac-
ton to congress but does not want
congress to do anything which would
direct his course. This was stated to-
