PORTSMOUTH, England, July U.-The prince of Walea v Kited the United States squadron thla morning and breakfasted with Rear Admiral Cotton on the flagship Kearsarge. All the ahlpe In the harbor and the channel fleet, at Bplthead, dreased ahlp, rainbow faehlon, and tired a national aalute aa the prince boarded the American flagship. The urinoe was received on the quarter deck of Kearsarge by Admiral Cotton and his officers and the party descended to the admiral's cabin for breakfast, at which President Roosevelt and King Edward were toasted. ' Admiral Cotton subsequently en corted the prince of Wales around the ahlp, after which the prince landed, with the warships firing another royal salute, and took a train for London. The deck of Kearsarge presented a strik Ing scene with the men In white uniforms and arms linked, lining the turrets, bridges and rails. The British union Jack was fly Ing at the mainmast and the whole ship waa dressed In rainbow fashion. Crossing red draped gangway, the prince, who was accompanied by Ambassador Choate, the earl of Belborne, first lord of the ad miralty, and others, passed through the line of sailors. Americana Hoist Royal Standard. Admiral Cotton and Captain Hemphill, atood with their hands at their chapeaus, the druma and bugles sounded four flour ishes and In response to a signal from the flagship at the American vessels hoisted the royal standard at the main and fired a aaulte of twenty-one guns. As the first sun boomed, all the ships In the harbor. Including "the royal yachts. Victory and the Channel fleet lying off Bplthead. dressed ship. The prince sat on Admiral Cotton'e right.

On the prince of Wales expressing a de sire to Inspect the ship. Captain Hemphill escorted him alone the gun deck of the superstructure and also below. He evinced a deep Interest In the super- Imposed turrets and Captain Hemphill con ducted him Inside the forward double tur ret. The prince stooped to enter the low est turret and mounted the ladder leading to the upper eight-Inch run turret. The prince asked numerous questions re garding the superimposed turrets, particu larly Inquiring how rapidly the gurs could be loaded. Midshipman Belknap, In charge 'of the forward turret, ordered a round of 'ammunition from the magaslne to the IS- inch gun. The operation was rapidly per formed to the apparent gratification of his royal highness. "The prince la a naval officer and knows what he Is talking about," said Captain Hemphill. Prts.ee Higher Than Emperor. "Did the German emperor do this?" he asked. Emperor William never got eo high,' replied Captain Hemphill. The prince apparently had already some knowledge of Kearsarge, as he was famll - lar with Ita characteristics and made a re. mark about Its especially excellent ventila tion. At the conclusion of the Inspection the prince complimented Captain Hemphill ' on the splendid appearance of the battle- ahlp. The departure of the prince of Wales was marked by the same ceremony as his arrival. He came on deck accompanied by Admiral Cotton, shook hands with the ad mlral and his officers and the captains of the other American ships. As the prince crossed the gangway Lieutenant William V. Pratt of Kearsarge shouted: "Three cheers for his royal highness, the prince of Walea." The same cry rose simultaneously . on the other American ships and the crews of the four vessels heartily hurrahed, the prince meanwhile standing In the center of a group of officers saluting. The prince then landed and proceeded 1m mediately for the station, where he boarded his special train for London. As the train pulled out the American squadron fired a royal salute and the bands played "God Save the King." Not to be outdone In courtesy ( Admiral Sir Charles Beresford took up a position In front of the British bluejackets forming the royal escort, who were drawn upon the dock facing Kearsarge. Obeying a sharp order the detachment presented arms, while the British band struggled, with rather poor success, through "The Star Spang'ed Ban ner." Aa the escort marched away the Americana again rendered "God Save the King." The Brltiah officers gave a ball tonight In the naval barracks In honor of the American visitors. The warrant officers of Kearsarge gave a smoker tonight to the warrant officers of the British ships. Admiral Cotton has In. m vltid several hundred officials and officers with their families to a reception on board his flagship tomorrow.

July 12. -The heat -.. has suffered an interruption. Thunder an hail storms have brought the temperature to below normal for the time of the year. London s absolute drouth of twenty-two days was broken. In Matlock and the neighborhood a thunder storm was followed by blinding showers of large hail stones. The ground was soon covered as though with enow. The rainfall rushed from the hills Into the valley, literally making a river, flood ing the streets and houses. A Urge part of Lincolnshire felt the ef- fects of the storm to an extraordinary ex tent. Hall stones broke the lamps and house windows, to say nothing of the thick glass windows of a train frrm Newark. The wreckage at Newark Itself, where the storm extended over an area of four miles. Included the smashing through of the glass roof of the railway station and much damage waa done to growing crop throughout the storm area. Life has become a burden hard to bear In the suburbs of London bordering upon the lower Thames by reason of of plague of mosqultos. All Inhabitants adjacent to the wide Thames marsh ground of Woolwich and Greenwich, and even high and wholesome land toward Blackheath, are groaning under a common Incubus. In Eastham the attendants are obliged to cover the beds with muslin curtains, a thing hitherto unknown here. TURBULENT SCENES IN DUBLIN Debate of Welcome to Klnaj Edward Is the Canse ol All the Trouble. DUBLIN, July IS. Wild scenes today marked the second debate by the municipal corporation on the question of presenting an address of welcome to King Edward on his arrival In Dublin. The public gallery was filled with people long before the meeting began and the huge crowd which was shut out subse quently broke down the doors In Its efforts to get In. Lord Mayor Harrington made a violent speech against the address and compared the nationalists who favor It to men who had "sold the Irish Parliament." Maud Gonna (Mrs. MeBrlde) was among the demonstrators, who continued the up roar until the lord mayor finally called In the polios, who cleared the halt" After a stormy sitting of four hours the motion In favor of the address was de feated by 40 to 37 votes. KATSURA IS AGAIN PREMIER Maraals Ito Qalta Opposition, Becom ing President of Japan's Privy Council. YOKOHAMA, July IS. -The political crisis resulting from the resignation of Premier Katsura haa been settled and the premier has resumed office. The Marquis Ito, who it was thought would be called to succeed Katsura, has severed his connection with the opposition political party and haa ac cepted the presidency of the privy council. It Is understood Premier Katsura's threat ened retirement waa a protest against the Interference of the irresponsible elder statesmen In the government policy. Count Matsukata and Marquis Tamagata have been appointed privy councillors. MAJORITY FAVOR THE TREATY Roagh Canvass la Made of the Colom bia Senate on Caaal Document. BOGOTA, July IS. A rough canvass of the Colombia senate seems to show that most of the members are favorable to the Hay-Herran canal treaty without amend ments. The Colombian government has not offi cially assumed responsibility for the treaty. Serious debating on the question will be begun Tuesday. Dr. Rico, the minister of foreign affairs, has sent a message to congress on the treaty, on the same lines aa what was sent to the United Statea senate by Presi dent Roosevelt.

NEARLY A SCORE SUFFER INJURIES Treatoa, Nebraska, Girl Among Those Maimed la Catastrophe Which Overtakes Bis; Dearer Convention. DENVER. July 13.-The big tent En deavor, where the Christian Endeavor con vention la being held, blew over this after- , on while more than 8,000 people were at ''''( --- a meeting Inside. ft' e number nearly a score, but foiv " one la seriously hurt. Mrs. Jtssle . "-trgn of Denver Is the most sent.. njured, her nose being badly gaahed a. , her scalp cut. A. M. Ramsey of Chicago, who sprang to a chair and called to the people to hold up the canvas and poles, undoubtedly pre vented many from suffocation. Aa It was many women fainted and were only ex tricated from the folds of the canvas with much difficulty. Mrs. Winifred Sleep of Denver, who was In charge of the St. Mark's hospital tent, seeing the catastrophe close by, telephoned the electric light company to shut off the current. Thla prevented any damage from the live wires that had fallen with the tent poles. Giro Praia tor Escape. A feature that showed the strong relig ious feeling animating the victims was seen when the majority were extricated from the canvas folds. Led by an eastern delegate all gathered a refund In the open air and held an Impromptu prayer service. The convention was in full progress, and although there were signs of rain and some wind waa blowing no trouble was antici pated by the management. The sides of the tent had been rolled up to admit air and this enabled the squall to lift up the big canvas as If It were a balloon. The gust of wind that turned the tent over came eo suddenly that no preparation could be made to forestall the consequences. The wind swept under the tent, the roof of which Immediately belched out like an Immense sail. The smaller guy ropes were pulled from their places and In a moment more the big poles were drawn from the ground. Immediately the 8,000 persons were In a panic, which was heightened by the screams of hundreds of women. It was then that Mr. Ramsey sprang to a chair and called loudly on the men to hold op the canvas and catch the large supporting poles as they fell. Hundreds of men sprang to their feet and successfully carried out the Chicago man's suggestion and thus averted a. calamity. As the poles fell more than 1,000 people seated near the walls of the tent escaped and formed themselves Into a rescue corps. Women who had fainted and those suf fering from slight injuries were quickly removed to the hospital tent. List of Injured Loaf., i" , Miss Powers, Trenton. Jeb., knee - In jured and body-bruised.

Last Day Begins Early. Sunrise convenant services In five churches marked the opening of the fifth and last day of the twenty-fifth biennial International Christian Endeavor conven tion. Large audiences attended these early meetings and thousands of Endeavorers pledged themselves anew to carry on the work which the organisation has under taken. From 8:30 study classes were In session at six churches. "China" was the subject of discussion by the foreign mission study classes, of which Rev. Harlan P. Beach of New York was the leader. Rev. E. K. Chlvers, D. D., of New York led the dis cussion of "Our Brother In Black" at the session of the home mission study class. Mr. Chlvers drew from colored preachers and professors the admission that not one colored preacher in the south Is an edu cated man. The missionary schools, he thought, were the best means by which the colored preachers and teachers could be properly trained. The recent lynchlngs were touched upon and Mr. Chlvers got all the colored preach ers to agree that all the lynchlngs were for crimes of the most fiendish sort and called for the most severe punishment. "But," said he, "there should not be one punishment for a black man and another for a white man for similar crimes," MIhs Cecil Armstrong of the Garfield Boulevard Presbyterian church of Chicago said she had heard the superintendent of a packing company In Chicago say the negro was the probable solution of the labor problem, and unlevs the labor unions became more rational In their demands, the black labor would replace white. A conference of "floating society workers" was held at the First L'nlversalist church. at which the subject, "How Can Floating Christian Endeavorers Be Extended?" waa discussed by Chaplain R. E. Steele of New port News, Va.; Miss Minnie A. Gibbons, Tacoma, Wash., and Chaplain J. O. Fall, Cleveland. O. The afternoon meetings In Tent En deavor, devoted to eonwlderatlon of great problems of the day affecting the nation, was one of the most interesting and enthus iastic of the entire convention. The con elusion of the program had been almost reached when the storm brought down the great tent. Rev. Dr. R. F. Powell of Washington, D. C, presided. Rev. John Royal Harris of Pittsburg discussed "The Liquor Prob lem." Rev. John Balcom Shaw of New York In an earnest addreas urged Christian En deavorers to stand for the study of the bible In the public school. George A. Chare of Fall River discussed "The Rights of Capital and Labor." J. 8. Folk of St. Louis waa to have given an address on "How Shall We Purify Municipal Polttlca?" but he was unable to be prexent and Rev. Ira Landrlth of Nash vllle, Tenn., spoke on the question.

TAP BROW THRICE WITH SILVER HAMMER Cardinals Repair to Death Chamber Accord ing to Long Precedent. FAREWELL CEREMONIES LAST NINE DAYS Pius IX Will Be finally Interred, Leo Occupying Temporary Tomb. SACRED COLLEGE e.UsT BE WALLED UP Ecclesiastical Princes Will New Meet to Elect Successor Barred by Maaoary from All Out side View. From the very earliest days of the Roman Catholic church peculiar ceremonies have attended the death of a pope and the elec tion of a new pope. - For over 6U0 years they have remained Unchanged and are now being performed In Rome exactly as they were at the death of Gregory X in the thirteenth century. When it was thought that Leo XIII was dying the cardinal camerllngo, the cardinal secretary of state, the dean of the sacred college and other cardinals were sum monedas they had been four years ago, when It was generally believed Pope Leo was dying and Immediately after the death the body la offlciully recognised and Identified, and Iha death of the popo proclaimed officially. In Rome by announce ment, and to the Catholic powers and the cardinals not residing In Rome by official messages. When proceeding to Identify the dead body of the pope Cardinal Oreglia de Santo Stefano, the camerllngo. nccord Ing to an ancient custom, raps thrice upon the door of the pope's apartment. Receiving no answer, he enters and taps thrice with a silver mallet upon the dead pontiff's head, each time calling upon him to awaken and rise. Receiving no answer. Cardinal Stefano declares Leo XIII dead and Immediately assumes charge of the affairs of the church. He will have aa a cabinet of three ' cardinals, a cardinal bishop, a cardinal priest and a cardinal deacon, who will exercise to some, degree a veto power upon his acts. This cabinet was provided for on account of earner llngos In fcrrotr days overstepping the bounds of '.heir authority. And so jealous of Its rights is th sacred college, or col lege of cardinals, that the members of the cabinet serve only 'three days, being then replaced by other cardinals. Funeral ol the Popo. The funeral of Pope Leo, : aa did the funerals of his predecessors for hundreds of years, will last tilne days, the body, after being embalmed, first lying In state In his private -chapel.-'fTiMi for three, days In the Blatlne chapels "and 'then for three days In St Peter's. The body of Plus IX will meantime be removed from the tem porary tomb, built high up against a pillar In St. Peter's In full view of all entering the church, and placed In Its last resting place In the crypt of the church, and the body of Leo XIII will be placed In It. Twenty-four hours after death the body of the pope Is embalmed, snd lies In state, dressed In the ordinary or domestic cos tume, upon a bed covered with cloth of crimson and gold, the pious offices of wash ing and dressing the body being performed by the penitentiaries or confessors of the Vatican basilica, who are always minor conventuals of the Franciscan order. It Is next removed to the Sistlne chapel. where It Is laid out, clothed In the pontifical vestments, on a couch surrounded with burning tapers and watched by a detach ment of the Swiss guard. On the follow ing day the cardinals and chapter of St. Peter assemble In the Sistlne and accom pany the transport of the body to the chapel of the Blessed sacrament in the Vatican basilica, where it remains exposed for three days, the feet protruding a little through an opening in the Iron railing which closes the chapel, that the faithful may approach and kiss the embroidered slipper. Actual Rites of Funeral. The nine days of funeral services Noven- dlalla which the Roman ceremonial pre scribes for the pope now begin. These are his publlo obsequies. For the first six days the cardinals and prelates of the court and Holy See assemble dally In the choir chapel of the canons of St. Peter, where, tho office for the dead being canted, a cardinal says massf but during the remaining three days the services are performed around an ele vated and magnificent catafalque, which in the meanwhile has been allently erected In the great nave of the basilica. This structure la a perfect work of srt in its way, every part of It being carefully de signed with relation to Its solemn purpose, snd In harmony of form and proportions with the vast edifice In which It is reared. It Is Illustrated by Latin Inscriptions and jy paintings of the most remarkable scenes of the late pontificate, and adorned with allegorical statues. A detachment of the noble guards stands there motionless as though carved In stone. Over the whole Is suspended a llfe-slxe portrait of the pope. A thousand candles of yellow wax and twenty enormous torches In golden candela bra burn day and night around it. On each of these three days Ave cardinals In turn give the grand absolutions, and on the ninth day a funeral oration Is pronounced by some one often a 1)1 hop. or always at least a prelate of distinction whom the Sacred college has chosen for the occasion. Disposition of the Body. In the former days the cardinal-nephew or relative of the deceased had the privl lege, often of great Importance for the future reputation or the pontiff and the present splendor of his family, raised to princely rank, of selecting the envied ora tor. Ere this, however, the final disposi tions of the pope's body have been made. On the evening of the third day, the pub lic having been excluded from the basilica, the cardinal-chamberlain, cardinals created by the late pope, clerks of the chamber and chapter of St. Peter, headed by mon- signor the vlcar who Is always an arch bishop In partlbus vested In pontificals, assemble In the chapel of the Blessed Sac rament, In which the pope still Ilea In state. The body Is then reverently enfolded In the gold and crimson cover of the couch, and taken up to be laid In a cypress-wood coffin. Into which are also put three red purses containing medals of gold, silver and bronse, aa many of each sort as there were years of the pontificate, bearing the pope's effigy on one side, and a design commemorative of some set of bis tem poral or spiritual government on the other. If there should be a relative of tlie late pope among 'the cardinals, he covers the face with, a while Uaea veil, other wise this PRACTICALLY CHRONOLOGY OF POPE LEO XIII. Born March 2, 1810.

When the coffin has been closed It Is placed InBtde of a leaden case, which Is Immediately soldered and sealed, while the metal Is hot, with the arms of the cardlnal-chamberloln and of the major domo. A brief Inscription Is cut at once on the face of this metal case, giving simply the name, years of his reign and date of death. The coffin and case are now enclosed In a plain wooden box, which is covered with a red pall ornamented with golden fringes and an embroidered cross, carried In sad procession to the uniform temporary rest ing place which every pope occupies In turn In St. Peter's, In a simple sarcophagus of marbled-stucco which Is set Into the wall at some distance above and slightly over hanging the floor of the church, on the lefthand side of the entrance to the choir chapel. A painter is at hand to trace the came of the pope and the Latin initials of the words "high pontiff." It Is possible that Cardinal Gibbons may take part In the conclave which will con vene In nine days, or Immediately after the final funeral ceremonies over the body of Leo XIII, and thereby break the record. For It Is slated that no American cardinal, either of the United Btates or Canada, has ever taken part In the election of a pope. : If Cardinal Gibbons should reach Roma In time to take part In the conclave It wilt be due to modern Inventions the land and sa t;Ir)rJnoaA'tMXheeWuliJs twin-screw fast Wamshtpa. Election of a Hew PnatlsT. The conclave will begin by the celebra tion of the mass of the Holy Ghost by the dean of the sacred college, and a ser mon by some prominent prelate, who will urge that the personal considerations and prejudice be laid aside, and that the car dinals proceed, with due diligence, to pro vide the church with a new chief pastor. Then the cardinals, the bishops first, the priests next and the deacons last, will form In procession, the papal cross being car lied In front by the master of ceremonies, and march to the part of the Vatican set apart for the holding of the conclave. Theoretically the cardlnale are alone, and walled In from commulcatlon with the out side world. In former days they actually were alone and walled In except for an apjrture through which nothing but food was supposed to be passed to them. The ceremony of walling in the cardinals is still observed, but as a matter of fact there will be three times as many attendants doctors, secretaries, cooks, waiters, barbers and others as there are members of the college. But these, at least, theoretically, know nothing of what la going on. Neither they or the cardinals are allowed to leave the portion of the Vatican which has been walled In, or to send or receive any mess age or hold any communication whatever with the outside world. The food supplies will be passed In through a dumb waiter of tho wheel form, and carefully Inspected. A small door, double locked and guarded on both sides will be allowed, all other entrances belnf bricked up. This door Is to admit cardinals who arrive after the con vening of the conclave, and to allow, as was necessary at one conclave, of sending out the body of a cardinal who died during a session. How the Balloting1 Is Done. The first ballot will be taken the day after the conclave convenes. It and all succeeding days of the conclave will he commenced by the cardinals hearing masi and receiving communion. Then break fast and about 10 o'clock. In the Sistlne chapel, the first ballot will be taken. An other will be taken In the afternoon, and balloting will continue twice dally until one candidate receives the required two thirds vote, or one of the other methods of electing Is adopted. At a majority of conclaves there have been aa keen rivalries and as bitter factions as In any legislative body or political party In the world, and hundreds of years ago, and always, the members of the college of cardinals have been past masters in the art of political strategy. The principal part of the time of the conclave, In fact all of It except that devoted to hearing mass snd casting ballots. Is given over to "conferences" that Is to working for candidates. Four ways of electing a pope are recog nised. The first Is "by Insplrstlon." This Is the case when one cardinal, even befor the conclave convenes, undoubtedly will be the choice of a large majority of the cardinals, snd Is the same as when there Is only one candidate for a political nomina tion In this country. One cardinal then proposes, viva voce, the name of the car dinal, and he Is elected by scrlamation. The second method Is "by compromise," and means that when the conclave la hope lessly divided that the members delegate to one of their number the tight to name the pope. This method Is not popular, es pecially since John XII. who was Cardinal James de Cshors and not thought of as a candidate, named himself when delegated to name the pope. The third Is by ballot and the fourth "by access." which simply means that cardinals are allowed to change their votes after casting them for cardinals who are not candidates, when It is sen that one candidate has almost enough votes to elect. nM c( bt Precautions. principles of the i Australian, system were I KEPT ALIVE ON outlined In the college of cardinals. The ballots are eo folded that the tellers see only the name of tho cardinal voted for, but In a folded over corner, or porket, Is written the name of the cardinal casting the vote, so that In case of dispute, or what In political conventions would-be called by a harsher name, the ballots can le Identified. All ballots are burned immediately after the vote Is announced, providing the cor rectness of the count or regularity of the ballot is not questioned. A long stovepipe leads from a small stove to a window in the Sistlne chapel, and the people outside, from the smoke, can tell when a ballot has been taken, and whether or not a pope has been elected, for, though all ballots are burned, the ones cast at the deciding vote are burned by themselves, while straw to make a dene bmoke is also put In the stove when the fruitless ballots are burned. The votes are deposited with great cere mony, each cardinal kneeling and reciting a prayer .when he approaches the table, In a chalice-shaped vase with a lid. and trans ferred to a pyx-shaped vase after they are counted. An ebony box, with lock and key. Is used for collecting the ballots of cardinals Who are too ill or feeble to leave their cells, as the little room with which each cardinal Is provided Is called. . - When tho Pope Is Elected.

Following this comes a pro cession to St. Peter's, the new pope being borne on the papal litter with attendants waving huge flags of peacock feathers be side him, and the cardinals following. A te deum is chanted, the cardinals kiss the new pontiff's hand and foot, and ho bestows the papal benediction on them and on nil prosent. In a few days, as soon as it can conveniently be arranged, comes the final ceremony, the most gorgeous In the ritual of the church, when the new popo is crowned In St. Peter's. . Ancient and Venerable Body. Compared with the college of cardinals, or sacred college, the governing bodies of today the parliaments, diets, congresses and others are Infants. For over 600 years it has had the exclusive privilege of elect ing popes and performing other functions, and does so In practically the same way as it did when it flut gained for Itself such rights and duties. And, If the histories of different conclaves are at all reliable and a majority of them were written by cardinals participating in them the conclaves as a whole, the Indi vidual members of them and the diplomats and other interested persons on the outside, could give the members of any congress or parliament, or of any "kitchen cabinet" or "third house," many pointers on what is today called practical politics. Such things, for example, as sending messages Into the secret sessions of the conclave concealed under the labels of wine bottlea. In oranges or fowls, and In other ways, or such moves as falling to vote, for If a full vote Is not cast there Is no election, even though the requisite number of votes Is cast for one candidate, or asking for a postponement of a vote to hear from some Catholio power when no message was coming from It, were all known and practiced hundreds of years i days.

It is an Interest ing fact that the law of the church does not require that a man to be elected pope be a cardinal, or that he has ever received even holy orders of the first, or lowest grade.

ROME, July 14.-4:45 a. m.: The pope s end Is near, his Ufa now apparently ueing prolonged only by the free use of stimu lants. Shortly before midnight he fell Into a state of semi-coma and it was plain that he could not last long. All his relatives now In Rome were hurriedly summoned and ac quainted with the pontiff s condition. At 1:15, however, he recovered conscious ness, showing great signs of depression and with his mind somewhat confused. Dr. Laponnl immediately administered stimu lants with good effect and later peruuaded his patient to tuke some nourishment. The pontiff Is still, however, distressingly weak and his breathing Is growing momentarily more difficult.

"If I am destined to die from this Illness," ' he said. "I feel I shall expire on Thureday, the feast day of the Carmelite Madonna, whom I specially worship." This presentiment Is remarkable because In a certain way It coincides with the prophecy made In the twelfth centvry by St. Malachy, the bishop of Armagh, who said that Pope Leo would be succeeded by a pope . symbolizing the "Ignis Ardens" (burning Are). The Carmelite Madonna Is the patroness of the Carmelite order, which attributes Its origin to the prophet Elijah, who ascended to heaven In a chariot of Are. Cardinal Gottl, who Is looked upon as the strongest candidate for the papal throne. Is a member and protector of this order. i Pontiff Sees Visions. The pope's dlssy fits continued during the afternoon and on several occasions he was visited by hallucinations or visions., He explained afterward that he thought he saw an undefined shadow moving about the room and slowly approaching his bed. whereupon he became agitated and called for his valet, Flo Centra, saying: "Flo. Pio. who Is it, who Is it?" Dr. Laponnl and Centra rushed to the patient's bed and soon succeeded In tran qulllxlng him.

Never before has the patient's weakness progressed as It did yesterday. For the j Aret t,m since his Illness the pontiff asked to have the shutters almost closed, as the light hurt his eyes, and at the same time, contrary to his custom, he begged to be left aa quiet as possible. Another noteworthy symptom of his weakening condition waa the docility with which he took his medicine and nourish ment. Previously Pope Leo haa always been against doctors' prescriptions or any- tning wnicn naa the aspect of being forced on him. His feeling of fatigue and Indifference was Interpreted as a sign that his vitality waa fast diminishing. Late last evening nine cardinals. Includ ing Batolll and Martlnelll, were admitted to the sick room, but the pope could not even speak to them, merely giving them his hand to kiss. Dr. Rossont was reported to have said In an Interview: The pope's pulse reached ninety pulsa tions and over. Just calculate how many times It has pulsated In ninety-three years and you will understand that In his present condition all his organ and pulse must end by getting so tired that they will stop forever. At the American embassy It Is said no requeat has been received for Information regarding the pope's condition, although King Edward has instructed the British ambassador.
