stantial increases.
The House does not approve the
proposition put up by the Senate to
slash salaries. 1t is admitted by the
appropriations committee of the
House that a number of clerks in
various offices could be dismissed,
but the policy of cutting their salaries
does not appeal to the majority of the
House members, judging from the
general expression of opinion.
In the long appropriation bill $780,
900 is appropriated for the expenses
of the Nineteenth General Assemly;
tuc Tree employment bureau lS gwen
$1,000 additional; the factory inspec-
tion, $1,000; pure food department,

Rome, April 14-All indications
point to the utmost gravity of the
Popes condition. At midnight the fe-
yer and cough We're giving cause for
great alarm. The impression had
gained ground that the tracheal bron-
chitis had developed into pneumonia
While not absolutely denying this,
Professor Marchiafava said:
AT the present time it could not
properly be called pneumonia: but
with tracheal bronchitis sometimes
the lungs do not function properly
Probably the resistent and robust III
bre of the holy father may overcome
this danger. Meanwhile we can make
the statement, which must give rise to
great hope, that the condition of albu-
minuria has disappeared"
In the two bulletins issued, one in
the morning and one in the evening,
the Pope's condition was set forth Us
hopeful, but it has been learned that
the bulletin1. as prepared by the At
tending physicians, have come under
the censorship OF the papal secretary
ol Stale. Inc explanation Is SlNel
that Doctors Marchiafava and Amici
embody in their bulletins all the de-
tails with reference to pulse and res
piration, in addition to other patholog-
ical conditions. The bulletins are sub
mitted to Cardinal Merry del Val, and
when they reach the public they lack
what the papal secretary considers
unnecessary and undesirable for pub
licity.
After midnight there was an in
crease in the temperature of the pa
tient and the fact that large quan
tity OF disinfectants had been brought
into the sick apartment was consij-
cred as an indication that the bron-
chitis had developed into pneumonia.
The monk, Wives Tuto. brother OF
the cardinal, who has been for some
time the confessor of the Pope. en-
tered his room and remained there for
forty-five minutes. 1t is supposed that
he confessed the pontiff.
