might cause a collapse.
But His Holiness slept we'll anC
awoke but a few times during thl
night. His pulse remained almos
normal and his temperature did no
go above SO.
When Professor Marchiafava an'
DR.. Amici made a thorough examina

sion completed their labors in Birming-
ham yesterday, but will be again on
the scene next Monday.

important.
The commission, some time ago, IN
creased the assessed valuation of the
