ROME, July 7—3:35 a. m.—The pope awoke frem his sleep, which was induced by

ROME. July 7 ,—6:45 a. m.—A bulletin has just been issued. It says the condition of
the pope is stationary. After twice- taking a raw egg and a i little brandy he went to sleep.
At 9 o'clock Dr. Mazzoni will visit his holiness again, and a new bulletin will be issued.

The official bulletin issued at: 6
o'clock this morning states that the".

night and took some nourishment/:

through the day.
Life Ebbing Away.
ROME, July 7, 3:55 a. m.—Another
morning has broken on the scene with
in the simple chamber of the Vatican
where Pope Leo lies dying. As the soft
light of dawn penetrated into the room
the pontiff whispered to his devoted
physician that he desired the shutters
of the windows to be opened, saying:
"I wish to see once more, perhaps
for the last time, the rays of the sun."
It was for only a short period that
the pope came back to consciousness
from a sleep which Dr. Lapponi had
induced by a strong dose of chloral.
His sleep was so deathlike that arti
ficial respiration was continued and
Dr. Lapponi every few minutes leaned
anxiously over the couch to observe the
patient and to listen to his hardly per
ceptible breathing. Pope Leo awoke
wet with perspiration, feeble to the ex
treme and his voice hardly audible.
The fits of coughing had brought pains
in his chest and shoulders, and, think
ing his end was near, he said to Dr,
Lapponi: "Tell me when the time
really comes." The doctor assured his
holiness that he believed the danger
of his immediate death was averted for
the night and for today.'
MENTAL CLARITY
ADDS TO THE SADNESS
These seemingly last moments of
Pope Leo are full of solemnity. Per
haps his last hours would be less mel
ancholy and sad If the august sufferer
were less conscious of the circum
stances and his mind less clear as to
the duration of time remaining to him
before he enters eternity. Although his
physical powers are at the lowest ebb
and his breathingbecomes more labored,
the pope's mind is clear, as is mani
fested to all around him by Vis bright,
expressive eyes and the few words he
now and then succeeds in uttering.
The scene is so touching thaf those
present can -scarce restrain their tears.
Count Camillo Pecci, the pope's nephew,
whom the dying man kept by his bed
side yesterday, was so exhausted late
last night by his contending emotions
that he had to be taken from his un
cle's room completely worn out. A few
moments before, as he stood bo we'd be
side the bed, Pope Leo laid his hand
on Camillo's head, saying: "Take
courage." :y'4:*j- .'"'"■'.'■ -:
Shortly after 10 o'clock at night, the,
pontiff received the extreme unction.
At 9 o'clock his condition seemed so
hopeless that only a short -time appar
ently remained before he would glide
into his last sleep. At Dr. Lapponi's
initiative 3 a hasty consultation of the
pope's relatives, Cardinal Rampolla arid
other ecclesiastics was held and it was
decided that extreme unction should
be given. The pontiff received" the an
nouncement with his usual calmness,
and, though scarcely able to speak au
dibly, he said he knew his time had
come and he was ready to appear be
fore the sublime tribunal with full
trust in divine mercy. 7. "7"
. Mgr. 7 Pifferri, Pope Leo's confessor,
administered the .extreme unction, arid
when .the ceremony was over, his holi
ness sank back on the pillow with' ap
parent great relief that all was done
and that he was entering into rest after
his long, long pilgrimage.
DEEPLY INTERESTED IN
TELEGRAPHIC INQUIRIES
- After the administration' of the viati
cum, telegrams " expressing hope for his
recovery were shown to the pope and
THE ST. PAUL GLOBE.
POPE'S CONDITION STATIONARY.
he appeared to be much gratified. One
of. the strangest features in his condi
tion is the interest the pope takes in
telegrams inquiring,, about, his health.
Yesterday^ having heard that a French
:woman, whom he had received. in au-:
dience a 'few* weeks ■'- ago, "had ' tele
graphed a "■ message of-sympathy, he
-asked to see - the ;.dispatch, and ~ when
-Mgr. Pifferi* brought It he- was not sat
isfied with; looking at the message, but
wished to read it. -i ''

groups -of watchers :'• can see figures
flitting to and' fro past the lighted win-;
dows of the palace. - an' unusual number
of which "are,'llluminated.-7 . -7.7' •'
.It -is thought certain that the visit to
France of the king and queen of Italy,
now arranged for July- 18, will be post
poned, as, In the event of a. fatal ter
mination of the : pope's ' illness, King
Victor Emmanuel will not be able <.*
leave the kingdom until the successor
to the pontifical. throne has. been elect
ed and installed.
MORE CANDIDATES
FOR THE PAPACY
Great activity reigns, among the car
dinals now that it is sure a conclave
cannot be far off. : It is even said that
there has been an exchange of tele
grams in cipher between the members
of the sacred college in Rome and those
in the provinces or abroad; Innumer
able rumors 7 are ; circulating, and
scarcely any cardinal is deprived of the
flattery of being considered a 7candi
date. However, besides. these mention
ed in the dispatches yesterday, the only
other -candidates who : are regarded as
having a fair chance are Cardinal
Svaampag, archbishop of Bologna, and
Cardinal Richelmy, archbishop 7 of
Turin. -7
- Cardinal Rampolla is thought ■; by.
many to have the best chance of being
elected. According to the most accred
ited Vatican gossip, however/Cardinal
Rampolla' has entered into an agree-*
--ment with Cardinal Gotti, prefect *or
the congregation. of the propaganda, to
support the election. of the latter on
condition that he himself be appointed
Gotti's successor/ as prefect of the
propaganda, the holder of which post
is called the "Red Pope." ' - .7 £ ■■'.
: Toward evening the pope grew worse
and the news, together with the tone of
the last bulletin, caused considerable
alarm. A correspondent saw Dr. Maz
zoni, who repeated in substance what
Dr. Lapponi said in the afternoon, ad
ding that it was necessary to keep up
the pontiff's' strength thrpug\ jj artificial
respiration. Dr. Mazzoni expressed the
opinion that Pope Leo might live per
haps two days, without excluding the
hypothesis of a possible ultimate re
covery. ' f7'7'/.: .7
STATED BY LAPPONI
Physician Describes the Mental and
Physical' State 7of His Patient.
ROME, July-6.—A correspondent in
terviewed Dr. Lapponi during his brief
absence from the • Vatican today. It
was easy to read: in : the pale face " the
signs of anxious days and nights spent
in J watching his august patient, while
his words proved unmistakably .7 how
deep an affection he bears - for ! Pope'
"Unfortunately,'.' said Dr., Lapponi. "I \
cannot give you any really; consoling
news. I cannot -share the f optimism
which is spreading today, which is not
owing to a definite .change for the bet
ter, but to the spirit of the pope, who .
is I giving further proof that his inde- !
fatigable energy survives.
% "The truth -Is that -the pontiff's con
dition is stationary, which means that
it is very grave.: Although ;he 7 may
live for several days, it would be
cherishing an illusion to think he may
recover, unless some unforeseen7crisis
occurred. - „ .
"His pulse has become, to use a med
ical term, evanescent, which: means jal
most imperceptible. 7. The pope, except
during short periods:', of 7 uneasiness,
when his cough is .7 troublesome,' is
"generally, bright and in good spirit and
displays great force 'of character. This
morning,4' again at { his own wish, .- he
left his bed and seated himself j in. his
arm chair, as he finds a sitting posture
more comfortable .than being : recum
bent. '*-.*'.■ 777
"What surprises- who approach
him .is ; that there ; has been .no change
in the lucidity 7of his intellect,;, which
disease has not affected.;" For instance,
not a single detail of the ceremony of
the last communion escaped the pope's
observation. He' spoke of £it with great
interest, recalling each personage who
participated.;: "7 -~yyyy :\,7 :- >;'■;..:. ;7
"The worst .' symptom, ra"part" from the
feebleness jof the \ pontiff's pulse, is j his
low temperature, which is iitationary
at 31 centigrade. He continues to
take: nourishment at short 7 intervals,
but not in such quantities *. as his
weakness requires or his doctors wish.

The same correspondent reports that,
speaking with Cardinal Oreglia yester
day, g his . holiness expressed the hope,
that the conclave would not forget the
wrong done to the holy see in 1870 and
would elect a man who would defend
the rights of the church, its liberty and
independence. He also strongly recom
mended ; the cardinal to secure the se-.

APATHY AFTER ANXIETY
Feeling of the Populace of . Rome, So
Used to Changes.
, ROME, July 6.—Since .the pope's
illness assumed' its . present " serious
character .there has been no v.- very
marked change ■in - the symptoms and
the alternation from : hope to fear in
the minds; of. the population- has .given*
place to a certain feeling ,of apathy.
For, centuries . the Romans had been
accustomed to : the rise and fall 7 of
systems of government and changes
of rulers. This doubtless has affect
ed 7~. the present 7 generation,7 causing
■ them to regard without anxiety or
even keen interest events 9of "this \ na
ture. :; The pope's illness ;Is 7 the case
in point. 7.
The anxiety of Friday and Saturday
was unfelt In Rome. Crowds thronged
the colonnade- of St. Peter's. The Swiss
guards on - duty at the doors of the
Vatican, watching the- ingress § and
egress of ecclesiastical; and other dig
nitaries, and obtaining 7:: from 7; them,
when - possible, information regarding
the health of the illustrious g patient.
Then came. Sunday. 7 The pope seemed
to be sinking fast and hope died away

viaticum ; would be administered in the
evening.; .... 77 ,-.7-7 7": :■■-.':-'■■ .:.-■■--. :'/y
But as the night wore on, and the
solmn rite was accomplished, contrary
to expectation, a slight improvement
in the pontiff's condition was observ

crowds dwindled away. Some persons
believed that the amelioration was
only temporary, the last effort of fail-
