Considerable significance was attached at the Vatican to this in- cident. Hope for the Pope’s recovery has again risen in the Vatican. Even his attend- ants have been able to enjoy much needed rest. Dr. Lapponi paid his first visit of the day to the Pope at 7 o'clock this | morning. The Pontiff, at first, was not in | a good humor, saying he could not stand | remaining so many hours in bed, never | having been accustomed to lie down for longer than four or five hours at a time. | The doctor, however, succeeded in con- | vincing him t when persons were ill it was n ary to change their habits, even if they seemed not to be so com- fortable. “But is it really necessary?” asked the | Pontiff. | Dr. Lapponi replied: “It is not indis- | pensable, but it will certainly assist our | concluded the Pope, “I must | do so.” | " After this the Pontiff's face again as- { sumed its habitual bright, benevolent ex- | pression, and he smiled as he had done { in his best moments. HEARS CHANTING OF MASS. This conversation with the doctor, suc- | ceeded in so tranquilizing tie Pope that ! he refused to see Monsigneur Pifferi, his | contessor. | Having expressed a desire to hear mass, | the Pontiff's secretary, Monsigneur, An- | geli, celebrated it in the chapel adjacent to the sickroom, leaving the door open so that the Pope could follow the service, Shortly afterward Dr. Mazzoni, visited the Pope and .confirmed. the relatively good condition of the patient, as observed by Dr. Lapponi, with the éxception of the working of the kidneys, which con- tinue to cause apprehension. The Pope’s pulse was better. { On leaving the sickroom Dr. Mazzoni was surrounded by the church dignitaries, who were waiting in the ante-chamber, anxious for news. A picket of the Noble Guard, in their gorgepus uniform, stood silently among the somberly gowned pre- lates, giving a pleasing touch of color to the scene. Cardinal Rampolla waited for Dr. Mazzoni in the throne-room, and when the physician appeared the Papal Secretary of State requested him to make | a detailed report of the Pope’s condition. After complying, Dr. Mazzoni complained to the Cardinal of the gossip and criti- cisms concerning the doctors’ diagnosis of the fllness of the Pope and the treat- ment being administered. In reply, Car- dinal Rampolla said he had complete and unbounded confidence in the physlclan‘?. “This is why,”’ the Cardinal added, “1 never interfered in any way in the con- | i ’“o':"fi:\-mg the Vatican Dr. Mazzoni was stopped and asked for the news by Cardinal Cavagnis, who, with a number of other Cardinals, called early at the Vatican for information, while other Car- dinals sent their secretaries for the lat- eports. es:v;‘feo Dr. Mazzoni was in the sickroom the Pope took a cup of meat broth. EAGER FOR POPE’S RECOVERY. To understand the sudden and radical changes occurring, not £o much in the Pope's condition as in the feeling of the public when rumors are circulated about the improved or retrograde state of the Pontiff’s health, it is likened to an elec- trified condition of the atmosphere, which has been aroused throughout Rome and especially around the Vatican during the past week of trepidation and anxiety. A general desire to see Pope Leo win an- other battle and accomplish what would appear to be a miracle, against all former experiences and the laws of science, is uniting everybody, Catholics as well as others, in one supreme wish to see the Pope out of danger. A representative of the press saw the Pope’'s doctors after this morning’s visit and they assured him that the ameliora- tion which had taken, place in the condi- tion of the Pope since the last operation was more noticeable than any which had occurred since the Pontiff became ill, but it was not sufficient to enable them to consider the patient out of imminent dan- ger. The probability was that liquid will again gather in the pleura, rendering n: essary, perhaps, €everal new operations. The whole question w: they would the patient make con: and thus during the intervals between | each operation gain strength enough to | gradually absorb the liquid which formed in the pleura, or would his weakness aug- ment, which would mean, ultimately, a | catastrophe. NOTES VOLPINI'S ABSENCE. Later in the day the Pope received the Countess Canali and the Countess Moroni, his nieces, and after a short chat with them asked about Monsigneur Volpini, ng: What is the matter? Why does he not come to see me?" It was explained to the Pontiff that the excitement of the last few days had over- come Monsigneur Volpini, who was quite unwell. But the Pope was not Informed that Monsigneur Volpini was dead. A rumor circulated to the effect that the Pope was suffering from inflamma- | tion of the kidneys was denied by Dr. Mazzoni, who said: “l know all about it. The news was spread by an American doctor in Rome. I authorize you to deny it emphatically and to make the following statement: The diseasé of the Pope is pneumona, | followed by pleurisy, or, as it is com-| monly called, pleuro-pneumonia. To have | nephritis, which means inflammation of ! the kidneys, the latter must be diseased, while those of the Pontiff are healthy.” The following bulletin was issued at 7 o'clock this evening: “After a rather quiet day, the patient's condition is generally easier. The thorax was again examined. There was no in- crease of liquid in the upper portion of the thorax to give indications of pleuritic irritation. The pulse was stronger and fuller at 86; respiration, 28 and tempera- ture 36.9 centigrade. His mental condition was brighter. ROSSONL." “MAZZON “LAPPON HOPE TO WORK A MIRACLE. In view of the serious condition of the Pope the Neapolitans have had recourse to their most sacred and seldom used method of rendering him assistance. St. Gennaro is their greatest saint and his mitér is preserved at Naples. It is said to work miracles. The aristocracy and clergy of Naples begged the Archbishop | to send the miter to Rome, and he al- lowed it to leave the city for the first time in many years. The precious relic was intrusted to Mgr. Prince Caraccioto, | who arrived with it safely in Rome to- day. At the Vatican the miter was re- ceived by Cardinal Rampolla and Mgr. Bislet!, who, with great ceremony, thank- ed the Neapolitans for their plety and | self-sacrifice in allowing the miter to come here. After the Cardinal had invited Mgr. Caraccioto to remain for some days in this city the sacred relic was deposited in the sickroom. The Romans are determined by all means to ascertain everything possible about the Pope. It is announced that the local spiritualists have been in coun- cil, have implored spirits to tome to their ajd and were replied to by the shade of Pope Plus IX, which declared Leo XIIT had a tumor in the pleura, of a papilloz nature, and that the cyst, for which the Pope was operated upon some years ago, was reforming. Professor Charles P. Grannan, profes- sor of sacred scripture at the Catholic | University at Washington, has arrived | here, intending to participate in the work of the commission for Biblical studies, | of which he is a member: but he found that all but routine church business had been suspended on account of the Pope's | condition. The Most Rev. J. K. Harty of St. Louls, Mo., the newly appointed Arch- bishop of Manila, cabled to the Vatican at the end of June asking for permis sion to be consecrated in Rome. At the! same time he wrote to Cardinal Satolli, saying it would be the greatest pleasure of his life if the Cardinal would conse- crate him. Cardinal Satolli answered, ac- cepting, and Cardinal Rampolla gave or- ders to answer by cable, acceding to Archbishop Harty's wish, and a message to that effect was drafted on July 2, but Archbishop Harty, not receiving it, ca- bled again yesterday, asking for an ex- planation. When he found that there was a mistake, the original dispatch not hav- ing been forwarded, Cardinal Rampolla ordered it immediately transmitted to Archbishop Harty, who is expected to ar- rive in Rome before the end of the month ————————— Californians in New York.

Its sway over the minds of the Chinese liter- ati is by no means what it was even as recently as twenty or thirty years ago. It is true that there is apparently wo marked diminution in the number of an- cestral halls, the existence of which all over the land serves as an indication of the vitalitv of the state religion; yet, nevertheless, the more the country is per- meated with western knowledge, the more are the minds of the educated classes be- coming alienated from the teachings to | which before unquestioning obedience was | aceorded. The reason of this state of things it is not difficult to comprehend. It is grad- ually dawning upon the educated young men of China that a knowledge of the Contucian classics is no longer what it was from a commercial point of view. And the comprehension of this fact is sufficlent to account for the diminishing interest that is being taken in the ac- quisition of Confucian learning. It must also be admitted that, as the broader and deeper knowledge introduced and incul- cated by western scholars is becoming assimilated there is an ever increasing realization of how inadequate Confucian- {sm is, notwithstanding its merits to meet ments of the present a Herald. day.— VALLEJO, J J.
