NO WORSE
But Doctors Dare Not
Operate on Pope.
MASS CELEBRATED TODAY
Pontiff Joined in the Responses Feebly
- Kidneys Resume
Functions.
Rome, July 17- This morning's oflieial
bulletin reads: "The holy father had,
during the night, some periods of sleep.
On the other hand there were some short
periods of excitement. The level of the
liquid in the pleura, which It was an
nounced yesterday, was seriously molest
ing the patient, has been maintained with
in its limit. The general condition of the
pontiff presents no change. Ills pulse
runs 8S, respiration ;0, temperature SO 5-10
centigrade."
At the morning consultation the doctors
discovered the Pope to be no worse than
last night, and decided under these oondi
tiotif that an operation at present wonld
not be advisable. The puncture, however,
may be made before the day is over. The
doctors also discovered this morning that
the kidneys bad again resumed their
functions to a great degree. Nearly a
quart of liquid was excreted, thus remov
ing one of the chief . sources of danger,
also staying somewhat the accumalation of
plenrlc liquid.
After the consultation Dr. Mazzonl left
the Vatican saying he would not return
until night unless be was summoned. He
said it was possible that the liquid in the
pleura might be naturally absorbed. On
the other hand the patient is liable to have
a further relapse.
Mgr. Mazzolini this morning celebrated
mass In the papal apartments the I'ope
joining in the responses feebly.
(2 p. m.) Tha afternoon is hot but a
good breeze assists in ventilating the
Tope's chamber. It was stated that Maz
zonl wished to operate n the pontiff, but
Iapponl dissuaded hiiu. These disagree
ments between the physicians are given as
the reason why Dr. Rossini, a specialist,
refuses to sign the bulletins.

RUSSIA SENDS
OVER A REPLY
Will Not Receive Nor
Consider Petition.
MR. RIDDLE'S CABLEGRAM
Believed That This View of Matter
Will End the Affair as Far as this
Government is Concerned.
Washington, July 10. It was learned
tonight that the State department had re
ceived a reply from Russia stating that it
neither would receive nor consider the
matter of the Jewish petition on the sub
ject of the Kischineff incident.
This information came in the form of a
cablegram from Mr. Riddle, the American
charge at St. Petersburg, to whom was
committed the delicate task of inquiring
of the Russian government as to Its atti
tude with respeet to the presentation of
the petition.
It is believed that this will end the mat
ter and that no farther steps will be taken
by this government to bring the views of
the petitioners to the attention of Russia,
although as yet no condsideration has been
given by the President to the course to
be pursued in the light of Russia's re
sponse to our Inquiry.
The reply that Russia would make to all
suggestions on the subject of the Kischin
eff niasawe was forecasted by the Asso
ciated Press some weeks ago in an au
thorized statement, when the public was
definitely informed that Russia regarded
the affair as an internal matter as to which
she, in the exercise of ber own sovereign
ty, must refuse to receive suggestions
from any other government or . outside
source.

fights that famous character Bad in the
Dakota Bad Lands.
Crawford is now a wttiod and stern
business man, owns thousands of acres
of Oregon land and is rated wealthy.

bull's eye at as great a distance as he
could in the seventies.

A THRIVING BUSINESS.
In Transportation of Jag lit This
State
White River Junction, July 10. Rumor
has it that a transportation line from
West Lebauon to this village Is in steady
operation. A large proportion of the bar
room patrons in west leoanon come irom
this side of the Connecticut. Whenever a
bibulous customer imbibes so freely that
he cannot "navigate," some " philanthro
pist has him quietly conveyed over the
highway bridge to the Junction, where he
Is either laid away in some shady nook to
sleep off his ia? or left by the roadside to
find his way home the best he can. Satur
day evenings the line is said to do a thriv
ing business, but the rates of fare have
not yet been published.
