Physicians Consider 'Extreme Weakness - ness Chief Danger to Bo Met Doc * 'tor In Attendance Describes Pen tiff's Appearance. Rome , July 1C. Dr. Mnzzcral , la reply to tbo unostlon : "Can the popu recover ? " gnvo the Associated Press correspondent thu following signed vtntcmont : "At the prcscut moment the dlscaso cf his hollnesa hat } lost Its character cr absolutb gravity , which It hud at Ita ucuto period. It might bu consid ered to huvo entered the period of a possible solution. This might occur in a man of strong liber and young , but It Is Impossible to entertain such a hope In the case of a man In his ninety-fourth year. With him the physical energy absolutely India pen- lblo for recovery Is lacking. Pope Leo's organism IB perfect , and as such maintains Itself after ninety-three years of never Interrupted work , but Ills motor force Is uo longer sufficient lor tto complex functions essential to life. In other words , the ninety-three yoara of Pope Leo's life bring him Into that category of extraordinary longevity when life Is destined to flicker out independent of the action of any pathological complications. The only service , that affection can render Is struggling to have this precious ex istence preserved to us as long aa possible. " Word Picture of Pope. Ono of the doctors In attendance on the pontiff gave the Associated Press correspondent a graphic , but horrible , ; word picture of Pope Leo as he ap pears today. That smllo which lighted up the pontiffs face , even in extreme uge , has disappeared , probably for ever. The sldn Is drawn tightly over the bony framework of his face , leav ing the once bright eyes staring dimly from the deeply sunken sockets. A grayish pallor overspreads hla coun tenance , but the most noticeable rav - age wrought by his present disease Is the dropping of the lower Jaw , which has made the pope's features take on the fixed rigidity of death. Last evening his holiness com plained of a slight uneasiness in the chest , But that ho has not yet given up hope was indicated by his remark that he expected the oppression of his chest to pass off in a few days. During the day he drank a few drops of the healing waters from the shrlno at Lourdes , several bottles of which were Bent to the Vatican by the French bishop In whoso see Lourdes is situated. A local paper gravely an nounces that from the moment Pope Leo swallowed the water an improve- ent in his condition became apparent. Pope Sees Confessor. Throughout the day the precincts of the Vatican were completely quiet. In marked contrast to previous daya , the patient was kept in almost abso lute Eccluslon , only one person be- Hides the physicians In Immediate at tendance gaining admission. This ono was Mgr. Pifferi , the pope's con- lessor. During the day the pope took a alight amount of nourishment. Through the morning he was quite rootless , shifting uneasily on his bed and complaining of being unable to eecure an easy position. Paris , Ju'v ' 10. A dispatch from Rome is published here giving an in terview with a monslgnor who Is a friend of the United States. He said that if a number of cardinals friendly to Cardinal Gibbons had not died lately the American cardinal would have had a good chance of being elected. Ho will have a great influ ence at the conclave and the author ity which Cardinal Gibbons will exer cise will probably pave the way to amore moro Just representation of the United States In the sacred college , which wll , ! bear fruit at the next conclave. It is even asserted that the Catholics of the Uplted States will not permit a monarchical nation to Intervene with her veto. American Ideas will play a leading part from the very be ginning of the coming conclave , and It is sure that these Ideas will have a most powerful Influence on the future 'destinies of the Church of Rome. Pope Is Worse. London , July 1C. A dispatch from Home says the pope passed a very restless night and his condition this morning Is considerably wflrso. i ' Negro Kills Postmaster.

Clubs and Fists Are Solo Weapons Used In Second Battle , but Street Is Quickly Littered with Prostrate Forms. Chicago , July 1C. Dcsporato fightIng - Ing between thu poltcu ami strikers of tbo Kellogg Switchboard company took place when the company at tempted to send freight to uomo of the railroad depots. In onu Instanca the police oponud fire with revolvers and , although the fusillade was con tinued for several minutes , nobody was Injured. Later there wuu a light In which no revolvers wuro used and the police laid out a number of mun , Homo of whom were left In the street until their friends cuuiu back and picked them up. The first fight occurred when a truck loaded with freight oscortcd by police , bound for the Burlington depot , was passing an unfinished building at the corner of Harrison and Poorla streets. A howling mob of n thousand men and boyu was follow ing close upon the police and pelting them with stonca and sticks. Team- Dtcrs who sympathized with the strik ers managed to get their wagons In the way of the Kellogg company's wagon as it reached Pcorla street and occasioned n blockade. The police were endea-vorlng to clour the street when the workmen on the unfinished building showered them with bricks. The officers at once drew their re volvers and fired at the workmen , who hastily fled to the Interior'of the building. Tbo police kept up their fire through the windows and drove nearly all the workmen from the placo. The route to the depot was then tnkun up and although there were several blockades the wagon reached the depot and the goods were delivered. The second fight occurred when the police were escorting a wagonload of freight to the warehouse of the Term inal company. A mob fully 3,000 strong followed this wagon , and , al though the police were outnumbered 100 to 1 , they took the wagon safely to the depot. The mob had greatly Increased by the time the wagon was ready to make the return trip and for half a mile It pursued the police , applying to them all sorts of epithets and pelting them with nUclts and stones. The climax came at Con- groiis street and Ogden avenue , when a private watchman , who had no par ticular occasion to mix in the affair , fired at one of the mob. The shot went wild , but greatly Inflamed the crowd. The officers went at the mob with flats and clubs. They were greatly outnumbered , but they fought well to gether and in less than throe minutes every member of the mob who could use his foot was doing so to the best of his ability. Fully a dozen men with broken heads wore left lying In the street , where they had been k'nocked by the clubs of the officers. Some of them were loaded Into the wagon and taken to the police Btatlon , as were a number who were not quick enough In commencing their ro- treat. About twenty arrests were made. KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS MEET. Big Fight In Progress for Nomination for Governor * . Louisville. July 1C , Spectacular In the extreme was the opening session of the Kentucky Republican state con vention at the auditorium , and the sit uation Is full of possibilities for moro pyrotechnics before final adjournment is taken. The salient features of the first session were an endorsement of President Roosevelt's candidacy in 1904 , which upset the calculations of several shrewd loaders , who , it is charged , were figuring on Ignoring that point In the platform , and what amounted almost to a stampede to former Governor William O. Bradley , who is not an announced candidate , after Colpnol Morris B. Belknap had , on a test vote for temporary chair man , apparently shown that he could win hands down on the first ballot.
