When the state of coma first occurred the doctors formally communicated the gravity of the condi- tion of his Holiness to Cardinal Ram- polla, who in turn advised the Cardinals of the Bacred College. At the same time the general public became aware of the alarming change in the Pope's condition, and the entrance to the Vatican was soon | thronged by dignitaries of the church and members of the diplomatic corps, making anxious inquiries. Twice rumors’ of the death of the Pontiff gained circu- lation. The Cardinals and diplomats, upon thelr arrival were informed of the grav- ity of the situation, but many of them left upon learning that the rumors of the Pope's death were untrue. The condition of coma was interrupted shortly after sunset. Cardinal Vives y Tuto and Monsignor Pifferi, the. Pope's confessor, were immediately called -into the sick room. They began to repeat Latin prayers. The familiar sound of the language which Leo XIiI laved so well | penetrated to his couch and the Pope | seemed roused from his stupor and showed signs of consciouness. He lifted his head. 1 Vives v Tuto took advantage of nditiag to approach the bed and tell the Pope that some Cardinals were the chamber. It is my desire benediction.” aid he, “to have your ) The Pope, with a great effort, raised a trembling hand and in an almost inaud- ible voice, between long pauses, gave the Cardinal the pontifical blessing. The effort, however, appeared to have been too much for him and he fell back into a condition of unconsclousness. Among the Cardinals who came to the Vatican to-day was Cardinal Oreglia, of the Sacred College, upon whom will fall the chief duty of directing affairs when the Pope’s death occurs. He went to the apartments, which have already been pre- pared for his residence at the Vatican, in anticipation of his speedy assumption of the important duties he will be called upon to perform. Later, however, he left the Vatican. Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, the great penitentiary, also arrived, in readiness to | perform his office of reciting prayers for the dying Pontiff. He remained at the Vatican continuously throughout the aft- ernoon-and evening. Toward night the reports from the sick room continued to be of a graver charac- ter. the Vaticdn, said he had held a brief con- versation with Dr. Lapponi, and that the:, latter had made the following statement: “If nothing new happens the patient may | live until to-morrow morning, perhaps un-% til evening, maybe twenty-four hours..Be-| yond this survival Is hopeless.” Fellowing the departure of the Cardinals 2 number of carriages were stationed in the courtyard of San Damaso, in readiness to bring the Cardinals to the Vatican when the catastrophe seemed imminent.

ROME, July 18—midnight.—The Pope | lies to-night in a state of coma and there | are grave doubts in the minds of his doc- | tors whether he will ever completely | emerge. His immediate dissolution seems | to be diverted only by the activity of his | heart. His pulse, though week, continues | steady.

The purpose of this statement is| to answer possible subsequent medical | criticisms on the treatment of the case. | It is understood that the doctors have not been as frank in their bulletins as | they personally desired to be, details of | some features of the case being withheld at the earnest request of the Vatican authorities. Their formal statement is | expected to clear up the cnflre@edlul history of the ca: is Lie s STORY TOLD BY BULLETINS. Restlessness of the Patient Is Fol- lowed by Deliriam. ROME, July 12, 11:3 a. m.—During lhe‘ | night and morning the restlessness of the | | Pope continually grew greater and he be- | came most agitated. His Holiness could find no peace in any position, and called frequently upon Dr. Lapponi and his | valet, Centra, who did all in their power to calm him, but without avail, the Pon- tiff saying he felt a nervousness which | prevented him keeping still. Notwithstanding the efforts made, very | little nourishment was taken and the | strength of the Pope is hourly ebbing and has reached such a low point that he can- not move alone in bed, requiring help, | and never finding a position that is satis- | factory. At 6 o'clock this morning- Pope Leo said: “I never felt so ill as 1 do now. Hurry Marzolini here. I wish to hear mass and receive communion, which may prove to be the last.” Shortly after this Monsignor Marzoiini celebrated mass, as usual, in the chapel adjoining the Pope's npurtment but the Pontiff could follow it only with the greatest effort, hardly succeeding in fin- ishing the service. When the communion was administered in the presence of the members of the papal household his Holi- ness seemed to be on the point of ascend- ing to heaven, 8o ethereal was his figure. After he fell back on the pillow pros- trated he fell into a doze. ROME, July 19, 11:55 a. m.—Drs. Lap- poni and Mazzoni are impressed by the depression shown by the Pope, and espe- cially by the frequency of his pulsation, which has reached 95 for the first time, as heretofore the limit has been 92, which was reached on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The doctors could make only a superficial examination, not wish- ing to disturb the patient too much, con- sidering that quiet was the best thing for him. The Pontiff speaks very little, seem- ing to lack will and energy to do so. The ot | little speaking be done as possible: lquid in the pleura i | fortunately physicians have ordered that silence be maintained in the sickroom and that as The apparently station- ary, but there is really a siight augmen- tation of it, as absorption even in the| smajlest degree must go on the wholc time, The doctors do not think that another | operation Is advisable yet. They fear nop that the heart may get too weak, indtic- ing intermittence in its pulsations, which would be fatal After the visit of the physicians Cardl- nal Rampolla called to get full details of his report of the Pontiff's condition. The rumor that the Pope was worse was soon spread through the city, and the usual rush to the Vatican began Several Cardinals hurried to the Vatican, among them Cardinal Oreglia, who re- mained for a half hour and then left in his stead Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli, who as great penitentiary, bears the duty of reciting prayers for the dying at the last moment in the sickroom. Cardinal Vannutelli remained at the Vatican, in the apartment of the majordomo, der that he might be ready for any call 19, ROME, July 12:45 p. m.—The Pope’s condition cont es about the same, but his Holiness fs, if possible, s mewhat | more restless and he calls frequently even when his attendants are in the room. ROME, July 19, 10:13 p. m.—The Pope | has had an au.uk of delirium. The end | ap ROME a. m.—Although the condition of the Pope is unchanged and coma continues, quiet except the avartments of the Pon- it being thought that a catastrophe vill not occur during the night. A con- tributing element to the weakness of the Pope has been his inability to take nour. ishment. When an attempt is made to administer restoratives, although they are placed in his mouth, he does not swalldw them. The Vatican has asked for prayers for the august head of the church at this supreme moment ROME, July a. m.—A susnicion has arisen that the change in the Pope- condition is due to biooa posONINg a result of derangement of the kidneys. ROME, July 4:20 a. m.—When the Pope is called by his attendants he still makes a great effort to arouse himselt from the torpor into which he has sunk, | but he is soon again overcome. p Slivaricoal Ui MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT. | Head of This Nation Send3 an Ex- pression of Sympathy. WASHINGTON, July 18.—Acting Secre- tary of State Loomis yesterday sent the following cablegram to Cardinal Ram- poila at Rome: “To His Eminence, Cardinal Rampolla, Rome: “The President requests me to convey through appropriate expressions his sin- cere sympathy with his Holiness in this hour of supreme suspense and to request that he be advised of the condition of the venerable sufferer. “FRANCIS B.

ROME, July 19.—President Roosevelt's | | telegram, expressing the Perdenls‘ sympathy for his Holiness in this hour| of supreme anxiety and asking to be fn-| | formed of the condition of the venerable | patlent, has been received. The Vatican authorities are deeply ap- | preciative of this expression by the| American people and recall the cordial | { personal exchanges between the Presi- dent and the Pope when the volumes of Presidential messages and papal encycli- | als were exchanged. Cardinal Rampolla | sent an answer to the message, which contains the thanks of the Vatican au- ‘(horitics for the solicitude expresséd by | the President and also the latest informa- | tion concerning the condition of the Pope. RUSSIANS ADM!BE POPE. Empire’s Belntwnu With Leo XIII Have Been Satisfactory. " S8T. PETERSBURG, July 19.—M. Pobye. donsteff, procurator of the Holy Synod, said to-day: Pope Leo X1IIT has many admirers in Russ:a. He is the most eminent person in the political worid_to-day, not only on account of.his posi- tion, but equally because of his character. The Emperor greatly desired to meet Leo last | spring, but his' visit to Rome was deferred. Leo numbered among his life-long admirers the Grend Duke Serge Alexandrovitch the Em- peror's uncle, who first called upon the Pope when a small boy with his tutor. He sent (o the Pope a token of his esteem on the occasion of the latter's jubiles, The relations between the Russion Government have been better under Leo XIII t] fore and are now entirely normal, 1 n«uund~ for, you know, the Ministry of the Interior and the Foreign Office 2lone are concerned, the Ministry of the Interior having entire juri diction over foreign religious bodies in Russia. While we all respect ‘the Pope and the great church whose head he is, we cannot take into consideration & union with the Roman Catholic church, of which Leo XTI, Dike ‘many ot his predecessors, hoped and dréamed. The procurator of the Holy Synod is aging, but is alert both mentally and | r be- physically. He still maintains a CDmPlGlel grasp of the affairs of the orthodox Greek | church, with its multitudinous relations to politics and life in Russia.

The gigantic iniquity of the Anglo-Saxon race is a fostering of the monstrous trafflo in intoxi- cants.

There were 3500 men present, and their voices swelling forth in “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” the Epworth League, was one of the stirring effects of the convention.

PARIS, July 20.—The correspondent of the ¥claire at Rome has had a long con- versation with Marquis Sacchetti,” Grand | Marshal of the papal court, who repeated | to him the following declaration made by who will take over the administration of pontifical affairs during the * ‘erregnum, to the officlals of the Vattean: T shall, alas, be the only living authority, and 1 count on the devotion of the clergy and the military, and I shall expect it to be absolufely blind. “For the soidiers there is a prison, and 1 shall use it.

The Sacred College has decided that the seclusion of the Cardinals during the con- ciave shall be carried out with the strict- est formalities. It will even be impos- sible for the Cardinals to look out of the windews and Vatican guards will watch the coming and going of every one. Car- dinal’ Oreglia has ordered all the tele- phones in the Vagjcan to be removed be- fore the conclave ¥egins. PERRANG (i o By PAPAL BULL MAY BE FOUND. Belief That Pontiff Has Written Last Advice to Cardinals, PARIS, July 20—A dispatch to. the Figaro from. Rome says that a well-in- formed prelate has told the correspondent that he believes that Pope Leo's papers will contain a bull relating to the coming conclave and advising the Cardinals not to shut themselves up within the Vatican grounds owing to the age and weakness of several of their number and the un- healthiness of the place in hot weather. The voting for the new Pope in any case will take place in the Sistine chapel, the Cardinals being sworn to secrecy as to their deliberations. A special to the Le Gaulois from Rome says that it is asserted that the Italian Government has decided to render royal honors, in accordance with the law, which uarantees as soon as death is known the ring of cannon at Fort St. Angelo and the half-masting of all official flags. ——— e .

General | | Manager Kruttschnitt of | late has been burdened with more busi- ness than any one man can handle, and he has been considering the selection of an istant for several weeks, with| Worthigton’s name always in mind. Su- perintendent Worthington was for a num- ber of years the private secretary of Hen- ry E. Huntington, when the last named | was in local control of the road, and| also employed in a similar capacity for | the general manager of the company. He | has a thorough knowledge of the inner ! affairs of the company, and is regarded | as most competent to fill a position such as assistant to General Manager Krutt- schnitt. Since he was assigned to the duties of division superintendent Worthington has displayed managerial ability in a man- ner that has attracted general atten- tion from the higher officlals of the road, especially in the matter of operating the roliing stock of his district. He is said to have reduced the expenses on the di- vision, where freight trains are fre- quently compelled to take a siding on an average of every nine miles, more than 23 per cent, and has been able to handle | freight cheaper than on the Tucson di- vision, where trains only stop to take water. The practical knowledge he has gained on the coast division. together | with the statistical knowledge he pose| sesses of the gemeral workings of the Southern Pacific Company's various sys- tems, will make him a most valuable as- | sistant to the general manager. SUCCESSOR IS NAMED. Following closely on the news of Worth- ington’s promotion there comes that to the effect that his successor on the coast division has already been decided upon in the person of D. Burkhalter, the present | superintendent of the 8an Joaquin di- vision, who has been in the employ of the | | company for many years and is famillar with the operation of trains on the di- vision now presided over by Worthington. The representatives of the freight de- | partments of the Southern Pacific, Union | Pacific, Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Rallroad and Navigation companies will hold a conference in the railroad building to-day for the purpose of discussing and | settling questions of apportioning freight rates on traffic in which they are Jolmlyl interested. Among those who have been summoned to the conference and arrived here on yes- terday's trains are T. M. Schumacher, traflic manager of the Oregon Short Line, | R. D. Miller, general freight agent of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, | G. A. Paikyns, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa- cific at Los Angeles, and W. E. Coman. general freight agent of the Southern i Pacific lines in Oregon. The local freight department of the Southern Pacific will be represented by Willlam Sproule, freight traffic manager and George Luce, general freight agent. CAMPBELL ARRIVES. Another and prominent participant in the diséussion will be Ben Campbell, as- istant traffic director of the Harriman lines, who arrived here from Chicago last évening. This is Campbell's first visit to San Francisco since he was made assist- | | i | | | ant to J. C. Stubbs. He expects to re- main here until the 23d, when he will go to the Orient with his wife and son. The trip to the other side will be for pleasure and business both, for, as Campbell ex- plained last evening, the Harriman syn- dicate has important traffic interests in China and Japan, which he will look into during his stay there. E. O. McCormick, passenger trafic man- ager of the Southern Pacific Company, returned last night from Chicago, whither he went several weeks ago to attend a meeting of the transcontinental passen- ger agents. The most important business settled by the agents was the fixing of special rates for various conventions to be held on the coast this and the following year, among them being that of the Bankers' Association in October, the Knights Templar in September of next vear, the National Live Stock Associa- tion ih Portland in January, 1904, and sev- eral other organizations, the majority of which have been allowed a $30 rate, simi- lar to that given the Grand Army. Mr. McCormick says the indications are that the attendance at the G. A. R. En- campment in this city will exceed all expectations. He also confirmed the story published in The Call several days ago to the effect that no successor will be ap- pointed to fill the place vacated by As- sistant Traffic Manager 8. F. B. Morse in Houston, but that General Passenger Agent Anderson will hereafter have charge of the business on the Atlantic system and report to McCormick. —————— OREGON SANDERS DIES IN THE GARDEN CITY SAN JOSE, July 19.—Oregon Sanders, the well-known attorney, Republican poli- tician and campalgn orator of Fresno, died here to-day of bronchitls.
