PARTICIPANT TELLS Of ~—LAGT RITES FOR POPE Bas Moving Scene at Bedside of Holy _ (Father as Last Sacrament Is Ad- ‘ministered and Leo Biesses His Car- dinals and Attendants. ‘sROMB, July 6.—Cartinal Aloysius Tripep!, the papal standard ‘bearer, to-day the affecting scene in the papal death chamber when the gacrament was administered to the dying Pontiff. “All the cardinals now in Rome—twenty-ftve in all—and the entire papal court participated in the solemn ceremony,” he sald. “It was the moving ecene I ever witnessed. Sixteen of us, each carrying a lighted ‘Jett ‘the Sistine Chapel and walked processionally into the death His Holiness lay on the bed, his shoulders enveloped in a white shawl He was slightly raised on a pillow. ‘6 pale, emaciated face, almost as white as the pillow, showed Ifttle ‘of life except in the keen eyes, which sparkled with intelligence and {wore an expression of the most wonderful serenity. SCENE IS PICTURESQUE. | “Around the bed were grouped the Swiss Guards in their gorgeous unt- forms, the Knights of the Cloak and Sword in picturesque mediaeval cos- _ tumes of black with white ruffs and the twenty-five cardinals in their ecarlet ) gobes, The lofty chamber was dimly lighted by a lamp close to the Pontiff's y i cue “Nearest the bed stood the imposing figure of the Grand Penitentiary Oardinal, Serafino Vanutelli, and Mgr. Pifferi, an Augustinian friar who is 's confessor. The latter leaned across the bed and heard the confession of the dying Pontiff. “While all present knelt, the Priest Apostolic approached and gave the Pope the viaticum. Then, with the assistance of the Grand Penitentiary, _ @xtreme unction was administered. His Holiness feebly recited the Con- Bteor, and then the absolution and the formula of indulgence In articulo " mortis was solemnly pronounced by Cardina] Vanuelll.

He enjoyed only the arti- I sleep produced by chloral, and. when the effect of the drug wore off would awake in excruciating pain.

Baron Meyer, the commandant of the Swiss Guard, told The World correspondent that His Holiness had left his bed this morning and was seated in an armchair. This ‘apparent amelioration in the Pope’s condition is so unnatural, ideritig ‘the gravity of his illness, that it is feared that possibly it is the last flickering of the vital flame. it the physicians have abandoned all hope was evidenced when i Oreglia, the Papal Camerlengo or Chamberlain, moved into the to-day, occupying rooms on the third floor, just above the Pope’s apartments, The duty of the Papal Chamberlain is to take official verification of the ES ake death and assume the Pontificial authority during the Papal thin OBJECTED TO OXYGEN. s the Pope objected to having the oxygen inhaling apparatus con- y tint ly under his nostrils, Dr. Lapponi arranged to impregnate the whole atmosphere of the room with oxygen. “That is much better,” said the Pontiff; “before I felt as though I had. lost my liberty.” lan “Although Dr. Lapponi continually recommends the patient not to » speak and:to pay no attention to what is passing outside, the Pope gently ~ réfuses to abandon participation in what is going on.

The Pope has been benetited by the injection of digitalis and camphor, and the condition of his chest is normal. There is a slight cough with some catarrhal emission. Sufficient nourishment has been taken. The pulse is still weak, but not intermittent, and be described as better, worse. There are many candidates for the Papal crown, Who shall be chosen to succeed Leo XIII, has been these many years a matter of discussion not alone in the ante-chambers of cardinals and princes of the Church, but in the courts of all Catholic countries and the cap!- tals of civilization, The question has beon agitated time and again in the decade past with more or less heat, and {t 1s not likely thst this generation will ever know the inside history of the various movements that have been started in the Interest of ellgible clerics, nor what bearing they have had upor the fate of rulers and thelr ambitions, Watchers of church politics thought gome time ago that Cardinal Serafino Vannutelll, Bishop of the See of ati, would be the choice of the Con clave.

That alliance, it may be added, he is generally believed to have {n some measure heiped to realize. On the death of Cardinal Jacobini in the spring of 1887 he was appointed to the Papal Secretaryship of State, and thus became identified with the remarkable series of official acts by which Leo XIII. proclaimed his growing sympathy with the democracies of the world in general and with the democracy of the United States in particular.
