M. 11.30 New York time (Associa- led Press). A bulletin issued at this hour says: "The state of the Holy Father became worse during the day. The respiration is more and more painful and difficult and the heart continuously weaker." The Bulletin was signed by Drs. Marchiafava, Battistini and Bignami. Ml hope lor the recovery of the Pope had been abandoned Cardinal dasparri, the Papal Secretary of State, declared during the 'noon hour. Dr. Uattitini, one of the P'dpe's physicians, said at 1 o'clock that t'le end was approaching. "i ne scenes at the Vatican, as moment by moment the sands of the lite ol Pope Benedict were running out, were most impressive. In the dimply-furnished room where he lay, growing short of breath and more rapi'd of pulse', with apparently nothing remaining to be done except to await the cud, the attending Cardinals in their purple 'assocks and Hie papal penitentiary in black were kneeling in silent prayer. The only sounds heard were the sobs of the Pope's persona! attend ants, the low chanting of the penitential psalms, or an occasional word in delirum from the Pontiff as u is malady slowly undermined his won derful store of nervous energy.' Immediately after the morning consultation of lu's physicians, the Pope had a quiet spell. His respiration was less irregular, and after he had expressed a desire to rest he turned on his side and fell as'.rep im mediately. The physicians wer.e surprised at this turn in tne case, and thought there might be some hope tor His Holiness if he were able to sleep three or four hours. The Pope dozed from 8 until 9 o'clock, when a cordial was admin- stered to him. To-day being the fete ranioa College, in which he was a youthful student, the Pope asked to be shown a small statue of the saint with which the students of the college had presented him. The statue was placed on the alter of-fhe .liapel, where a number ot masses were said. The worst period for the Pope during the night occurred just before Jaybreak. He was extremely low at this time, gasping lor breath antj apparently suffering intense agony. . Shortly alter 7.30 o'clxk, the suii began to peep through the mists on the Alban Hills, shedding a roseate" glow through the clouds. The attendants and prelates who were present went to the window, one of them remarking: Now il i- dawn; it brings hope." Shortly after 8 o'clock the phMcians gave out a bulletin announc ing the Pope was worse. Then came a slight improvement toward 9 o'clock, when it was stated His Holiness was resting easier The Cardinals then began to appear to make their visits Among the first were the noted Cardinal Merry Del yal, Cardinal Laurenti- and Cardinal Vannutelli.
