The following bulletin was issued
at noon:
The pope has no fever and his
temperature is 9S.l: his cough is de-

good.
"MARCHIAFAVA,
"AMICI."
Though the pope spent tranquil

and bring on fits OF coughing that
might cause collapse
But his holiness slept well, and
walked but few times during the
night His pulse remained almost nor

above 99
When Professor Marchiafava and
DR.. Amici made thorough examina-

and attendants late yesterday, ended
In the pope falling into a dee D sleep.
When he awoke In the early night he
was greatly refreshed and partook> OF
considerable nourishment in the form
OF milk and gelatine. He was extra
ordinarily cheerful. which puzzled the
doctors until the pontiff told them q
dream he had.
According TO the story. which came
out OF the vatican as gossip, unvouch-

was back In his beloved Venice, trav-
cling the Grand canal in the Patri-
archlal sondola. Suddenly his sister,
Rosa, who died in February. appeared
TO him out of cloud and said.
The moment Is not come for YOU
TO join me; your work is not yet
finished"
Again the ppe fell into a deep and
unbroken sleep which continued un-
