The attending physicians found that

The weakness is being treated by
the regular administration Of eggs

nourishment contributes TO the de-

The relapse is following the same
course as the original attack of influ-
enza, cough being present, with irri-
,ation of the bronchial tubes and diff
ficulty in respiration, which has led
TO the report in some cases that the
Pope is afflicted with asthma. This.

Pilgrims Brave the Rain.

front of st. Peters to-day recalled the
scenes during the illness of Pope Leo
XIII, but instead OF burning July sun,
as in 1903, there was a downpour of
rain. This did not prevent thousands of
pilgrims from gathering and gazing
with grave anxiety at the three win

the Apostolic Palace where the Pope
lies. or from directing sympathetic
glances at the little house in the square
below. where the sisters OF the Pope
occupy a modest apartment on the top
floor.

assurances that the Pope's illness was

said if no complications arose he would
guarantee that the Pontiff would be
convalescent within week. DR.. Mar

parent sincerity.
Normal Routine at Vatican.
Perfect calm prevailed at the Vatican
this evening and the normal routine
seemingly had been resumed. Dr.

the Pope for the night. II was an

Relatives at the Bedside.

Professor Marchiafava visited the
Pope only twice to-day. morning and
evening, and expressed satisfaction at
the course the illness is taking. The
Pope's sisters and niece spent much
time at the bedside. and when not
there were kept constantly informed
by telephone as to the progress of
events.
The Pope has expressed terror at
what the newspapers are capable of in
venting concerning his relapse. He is
being watched in turn by his valet and
his secretaries. Monsignors Bressan
and Pescini. and the chemist monk
Presdocimo is also in close attendance.
