TT ae [2 SEE TES SL POPE SHOWS HEROIGM UNDER THE OPERATION Remarkable Fortitude Displayed by the Suffering Pontiff While His Doctors Took Painful Measures This After- , noon to Relieve Him of Pleurisy. ROME, July 7.—The calmness with which the Pope underwent the sco of the operation for pleurisy this afternoon was one of the mosi arkable evidences of fortitude that he had given in his whole life. be ‘After a lengthy conference the doctors concluded it was advisable to operate for pleurisy, the primary purpose being to explore the affected parts, They hoped incidentally to draw off the collected fluid. When their determination was communicated to the Pontiff he shawed no anxiety. On the contrary, he submitted very willingly, ex- pressing the hope that good results might come, recalling the successful results following Dr. Mazzoni’s operation some years ago for cyst. NO ANAESTHETICS USED. As the operation was not of a capital nature, not suggesting the use of chloroform or other anaesthetic, the Pope lay on his bed, with his left side exposed below the armpit to the waist. Only the two doctors and two personal attendants were within the chamber. The immediate direc- tion of the operation devolved on Dr. Mazzoni, who handled the instru- ments and made the preparatory arrangements. First a slight incision was made in the side of the venerable patient. ‘A solution of alcohol and corrosive sublimate was then injected and cocaine was used to deaden the sensation. The point of the operation was just below the seventh rib, and the operation itself consisted in the insertion of a large Pravaz needle syringe. This penetrated to the region THE WORLDi TUESDAY “EVENING | CARDINALS GOTTI AND RAMPOLLA, WHO ARE HOW DEATH OF LEO WILL BE GIVEN OUT McMackin, Daniel J. appointed to St The Rev. who was lately Patrick's where the matter had accumulated and by means of suction slowly drew it off. Under the skilful guidance of Dr. Mazzoni the operation scarcely | occupied over four minutes. | The Pope manifested no pain whatever, neither was there the slightest | quiver from moral dread of the operation. In the language of one of the doctors, the cocaine so deadened the parts that the Pontiff felt no more | than a slight pin prick. EXPERIENCES REMARKABLE RESULTS. , So soon as the liquid was drawn off by the suction needle the patient | felt great relief, owing to the removal of the pressure of the liquid on the | Jung, and simultaneously the doctors could hear air passing through that | zone of the lung-which this morning was declared to be impervious, owing | to congestion. From a pathological standpoint the free passage of air was con- sidered satisfactory, but far more so were the results, the mental and) physical relief which it brought to the Pope. He immediately showed an exhilarating spirit. With a slight smile on his pallid face he whispered his thankfulness and bestowed benedictions on the doctors bending over him. The Pontiff even stroked Dr. Mazzoni’s face, in the benevolent way which is characteristic of him. Then with one hand he rearranged his position, Closed his eyes, and in a few minutes passed into a calm, healthful sleep. The doctors remained by the Pope's side, noting the regularity of his i breathing, and pronounced the operation to have been in every way suc- cessful and leaving no perceptible adverse results. “| WILL NOT DIE IN BED,” WAS POPE’S RESOLVE, ROME, July 7.—Always a mental and physical marvel, Pope Leo has displayed mental keenness and physical activity {n his dying moments which would be phenomena) in any case and which are nothing short of miraculous in a man of ninety-three years. No more forcible proof of the efficacy of abstemiousness and constant activity, which he has advocated {n his elegant Latin verse, could be given than in the supremacy of his mind over the frail, exhausted body, wasted by nearly a century of fasting and exhausting work. , Though pronounced heyond help by his physicians, he has attended to business, showing the keenest comprehension for details. To Cardinal Agliardi, who ventured to persuade him to remain in bed and not exhaust his strength, he replied with flashing eye and imperious manner, “I will not die in bed.” GIVES HIS ORDERS. The greater part of yesterday he spent in hic armchair at the table where he has worked since he became ruler of the Church. He gave orders to Ais secretaries regarding the preparation of the brief appointing Mar. Volpeni as Secretary of the Consistorlal Congregation, and when the docu- ment was prepared and read to him he signed it ‘The post had been made vacant by the promotion of Mgr. Nocella, the former secretary to the cardinalate. The importance of the appointment, es- pecially at the present moment, is manifest when it is considered that on tho Pope's death the Papal Secretary of State ceases to exercise his functions, which are assumed immediately by the Secretary of the Consistorial Con- f gregation. ° Later he summoned Mgr. Angell, one of his secretaries, and dictated to him the completion of a new Jatin poem and corrected the proofs of por- tions of the poem already composed. He directed Mgr. Angell to have the work printed, remarking: “T shall die the happier in thinking that something will remain of me that I have done at the very last moment.” With Mgrs. Angell and Marzolini, his secretaries, he conversed regard- ing personal affairs, instructing them about his writings and the disposal of his books. To the cardinals in his bed chamber, who had commented on Wile energy, he said: “I know I am near my end, but I want to die in har- ness. Weakness is the worst part of my illness, and the best remedy is activity.” TALKS ABOUT FAMILY. With his nephew, Count Camillo Pecci, of the Noble Guard, he con- versed about the members of the Pecci family. He even arose, and, leaning on his nephew's arm), walked to the window overlooking the plazza of St. Peter. Seeing the great crowd in the square, he said: “The piazza looks @s it does when I am about to perform some public function.” He later recelyed Count R do Peccl, another nephew, and conversed with great \perenity about his approaching death, giving h!s nephew instructions re- garding the distribution of gifts among his relatives, The consciousness of the august sufferer as to the brief duration of Mime remaining before he enters eternity makes the scene in the death 4 80 solemn and pathetic that those about him can scarcely restrain ears. His physical pain and weakness have not robbed him in the of his keen interest In what is going on {i the world without.

When askba tf the death of the Pope “At the conclusion of his retreat ap; |would alter the arrangements for the polntments to vacancies will be made.” He made eager inquiries as to what communications had been received at the Vatican from foreign rulers, and was extremely pleased to learn that M. Nisard, the French Ambassador to the Vatican, had, in spite of the |strained relations between the French Republic and the Holy See, called daily during the Pontiff’s illness and had expressed to Cardinal Rampolla the concern of the French Government as well as that of President Loubet. On hearing that the Austrian Ambassador to the Vatican, Count Szec- sen de Temerin, was ill, the Pope expressed his sorrow, and sald he hoped it was not as serious as his own case. When the Pope was Informed of Emperor Francis Joseph’s despatch, communicated to the Vatican by the Austrian Ambassador, he sald: “The Emperor and | are the only survivors of a past generation.” Having heard that 2 French lady whom he had received in audience a few weeks ago had telegraphed a message of sympathy, he asked to see the despatch, and when Mer. Piffer! brought it he was not satisfled with / having it read to him, but took it and read the context. PONTIFF WAS TWICE THOUGHT TO BE DYING ROMB, July 7.—Twice during the night Leo was very close to death. All hope was abandoned by his physicians and word was sent to Cardinal Oreglia to prepare to be present at the moment of passing. After a day of unusual activity for a man in his condition he fell into an exhausted sleep, and his breathing was so faint that artificial respira- tion was resorted to. After consultation with the Pope's relatives and Car- dinal Rampolla it was decided that extreme unotion should be given, as It was thought that His Holiness was entering his death agony. Dr. Lappon! was unequal to the task of informing his patient of bis extremity, and the duty devolved upon his confessor, Mgr. Pifferl. The Pontiff received the news with serenity. “I know my time has come,” ‘he sald. “I am ready to appear before the Sublime Tribunal with full trust in the divine meroy.” The sacrament was administered by Mgr. Pifferi, Cardinal Stephano Vanutelli the Grand Penitentiary, assisting. After receiving the sacrament, the Pope seemed to shrink into himself, with his head sunk on ‘his breast, which rose and fell slightly with his rapid breathing. After some moments of silent prayer, as the Cardinals gathered around the bed, he gave his hand to each to kiss, saying: To Cardinal Ferrata: “We are setting out for eternity.” To Cardinal Gotti: shall meet in Ieaven,” To Cardinal Rampolla: “Farewell, most faithful of sons.” Nearly all of the Cardinals, when they rejoined the prelates and others in the adjacent throne-room, were in tears. Several wept like children, Chloral was administered by Dr, Lappont, and the Pontiff passed off into artificial slumber, His sleep was so deathlike that Dr. Lapponi leaned anxiously over his bed, fearing his patient would pass away in coma, For three hours the Pontiff remained motionless. When he awoke as the effects of the drug passed off his pulse was evanescent and his temperature below normal. Stimulants were administered and he was given nourish- ment, He slept again until 8.55 this morning, when he awoke, his mind perfeotly clear, but he was very feeble. More nourishment was adminis- tered and the Pontiff slept Hghtly until daybreak. BOY, POWDER AND MATCH—TROUBLE, tendent of Buildings Perez M. Stewart.

There 1s considerable excitement around the Vatican and numerous! persons are going toand coming from the Pope's bedroom. The relatives of the Pontiff, Cardinal Rampolla and Pope Leo's secretaries, however, remain in the chamber. Cardinal Rampolla has been receiving members of the| diplomatic body at all hours of the day and night. Up to the present time the telegrams received at the Vatican from all parts of the world number 3,782, They include many from America, among wr'ch is en especially affectionate one from Cardinal Gibbons. Several large books kept for the purpose have been signed by members of the Roman aristocracy, high ecclesiastical authorities, notable person- ages of the Papal Court and distinguished strangers who have called to inquire regarding the Pope's condition. All the Papal milftary bodies in permanent service are earning the two months’ pay which they receive in case of the death of the Pope and extra pay for tw~ additional months from a new Pope, DISPOSES OF FORTUNE. It {s said that Pope Leo has willed ‘his private fortune, amounting to several million lire, or deposit in the Bank of England as a private fund, to his succesgor. King Victor Emmanuel has summoned a Cabinet Council for this morn- ing to consider the steps to be taken by the Government in the event of the Pope's death. It has already been offictall> announced that the pro- posed visit of the King and Queen to France arranged for July 18, will be| fo, postponed in the event of the Pope's death, as the King will not leave Italy until the successor to the Pontifical throne has been elected and installed.

Kolb was a big, fine looking man and a general favorite in the class of mechanics with whom he associated. He was virtually the dictator of the affairs of the Marine Engineers' Union and in his hands was placed the full conduct of the strike when it was de- clared. He worked night and day and the strain was too much for him.
