M.—There is some possibility of a third opera- on on the Pope to-night, though this is scarcely probable. Two operations within twenty-four hours would be an extreme ieasure, and would be resorted to only in case the patient’s kidneys abso- itely refused to discharge their functions. It would indicate the gravest uation yet in the Pope’s condition. The Pope’s marvellous vitality still permits him to maintain his uggle against death, although a portion of the night was Passed in ~pless waiting. He greeted his doctors this morning with hopeful ex- ssions. It was decided to pertorm another operation, which was exe- ed by Dr. Mazzoni, assisted by Dr. Lapponi. The patient was visibly relieved and soon after arose, sat in his arm- air and read his favorite Latin poet, Horace. The usual light nourish- ent was taken at noon, and the Pope then lay down for a long rest. The Vicar of Rome has issued a proclamation asking for prayers for he recovery of His Holiness and caused it to be posted on the fronts of all he churches, which throughout the day have been crowded with praying men and women. The relief afforded by the second operation is expected to prolong the Pope's life for at least twenty-four hours. At 1 ~ end of that time another operation will probably be necessary. Whether His Holiness will be able 0 Stan¢ another puncture is doubtful. In the mean time his strength is simply wearing out. BULLETIN OF THE OPERATION. After the operation the foliowing bulletin was issued ; “ROME, July 10, 10.30 A. M. “The august patient passed the first part of the night fairly peacefully, but afterward the difficulty in his breathing became more marked, coupled with discomfort on account of the increased feeling of oppression. The pulse is small and weak at the rate of 92. Apyrexia was complete and there was little diuresis. “A flow of eudopleuritic matter being observed, a second oper- ation was decided upon and Immediately performed by Dr, Mazzoni. About a thousand grammes of bloody serum was extracted. The Pontiff bore the second operation very well, and in consequence of it both the respiration and the power of the heart at once Improved. “ROSSONI, “LAPPONI, “MAZZONI.” Optimism now exists among a few of the Pope’s most devoted at- tendants, who have previously seen their optimism so often justified. ‘They have a blind faith that Leo will continue to live. The authorities of the Vatican have made arrangements which show that ‘they expect a quiet day, and the general feeling is that, while the case is hopeless, the Pope may live severa! days or even a week longer. REQUESTS NOURISHMENT, Pood The Pope expressed a scase of relief after Prof. Mazzoni had drawn off th: serum. His breathing became easier and he at once expressed a desire to partake of nourishment. When the physicians enterec’ (ie Pontiff’s chamber they found his tondition not much changed. His temperature was a little above 36 de- grees centigrade and his pulse was oscillating between 80 and 85. His depression, which had been extreme in the early part of the night, dis- appeared at daybreak, and the physicians decidid that he was able to stand the strain « “ the operation. Leo questioned <he doctors about his condition, saying, “Do not de- ceive me, doctors, nothing more can affect me.” ASKS FOR THE TRUTH. : He asked if the regathering of the serum in the pleural cavity meant that the disease was growing seriously worse, and the doctors fenced, saying that it was one of the phases which generally reoccur several times during an attack. “Then,” said the patient, “a new operation is necessary.” “We will see,” answered Lapponi, and Mazzoni added: ness knows that the operation is not dangerous in itself.” “Your Holi- who fell overboard and BOY'S BODY FOUND AFLOAT.| 4, Pe Tendie, who ta overboard and of Bast One picentige navy Fifteenth ° What of Theodore A, De Feheda| street on J Recovered in River, the ‘ie Toot ‘of Or ed Bun red | The vody of elant-rearold Theodore “ife tived’at - sca | lad Ta WOTAN HOME IN THE FIRST Pout st Knobhampton, a Well-Played Horse, After Leading Nearly All the Way in Brighton’s Opening Event, Is Beaten on the Post by Scheftel’s Colt.

M. 98 Sixteen dead from the heat and the day little more than half done! This is the score registered for to-day by the sun, assisted ‘by almost unbearable humidity. Forecaster Emery has hopes that the local conditions will breed a thun- der shower late this afternoon or to-night, but the promise is not absolute, and to the eye of the layman there is little hope in the brassy sky early this afternoon. The whole country is suffering from the heat wave, but probably no city feels it more oppressively than does New ~~ 1York, for the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere is higher than in any other place. Orders have been issued by Park Commissioner Will- cox to throw open all the parks in the city at night during the hot spell. Extra pollcenien will be assigned to prevent disorder. The lawns and seats will be open to all who are unable to sleep at home on account of the heat. In addi- tion the lawns along Riverside Drive have been thrown open. BOON TO THE SUFFERERS. There is room for 150,000 to sit on the benches and in the pavilions in Central Park alone, and on the lawns and fields in this and other parks there is room for about every- body in town. The opening of the parks will go far to- ward lessening the suffering to-night should the heat continue. Out of damp, comfortless beds millions of New Yorkers stumbled into fiery, evil-smelling humidity to-day, and before the sun was three hours old eight residents of the city had succumbed to the weather conditions. | The percentage of fatalities to prostrations wa: unusually high, due to} the weakened vitality consequent upon yesterday’s heat and last night's | | awful stretch of suffering Few ‘here were who slept, and as the toilers | sjand the housewives went about their duties, pale, hollow-eyed, dizzy, | they fell like soldiers in a charge. No hope of relief served to cool the blood or invigorate the listless/ brain, Away out on the prairies there is a storm snorting around, sousing the parched earih, bending trees with its cool breath and making glad the} hearts of men and women and children and beasts of the field, Maybe! that storm will reach New York to-night; maybe it will shatter itself} against the Allegheny Mountains, in which case the scythe of death will lay low many in this town before the week’s end, ALL RECORDS GO TO SMASH. In keeping with the breaking of records in business, in travel, in sports, in all things material that have distinguished the year 1903, the weather is breaking records. Not in twenty-eight years has New York seen such a hot July 9 as yesterday. Notin many more years than that has New York seen such a hot July 10 as to-day. In fact, the records of the Weather Bureau do not extend back far enough to establish a standard | 1 . of comparison for this time of the year, and it is probable that this is the warmest July day in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.

DISASTER OF 1900 NEARLY REPEATED, Many Firemen Overcome by the Smoke and Heat, and Other Shipping Imperil- ed—Naval Reserves from the Portsmouth Render Good Service in Fight ing Flames, ‘That the appalling Hoboken pler fire of three years ago, in which scores of lives were sacrificed, did not teach the steamship companies a lesson was made evident this afte-noon when the great pier of the S:andinavian-American Steamship Company at the foot of Sev- enteenth street, Hoboken, was destroyed by fire. The hose stored on the pier for use in an emergency was found to be #0 rotten that it fell apart in the hangs or the men who essayed to use It. Loss about $250,000. ‘The pier was 800 feet long and 100 feet wide. It was bullt by the Hoboken Land and Improvement Company for the Scandinavian line, which was burned out in the big fire in 1900, and was completed last November at a cost Ot $200,000, About 600 feet of the pier was burned away and nearly $100,000 worth of merchandise awaiting ship- ment was destroyed. Merchandise Burned. Fortunately there was no ship at the pler, or a repetition of the scenes of that fatal summer day when big liners ablaze floated down the North River would have been presented. The Hellig Olav, of the Scandinavian line, sailed on Wednesday, and much of the freight she brought over on her lest trip re- mained on the pier. Besides there was & great quantity pf merchadise stored for ghipment on the Hekla, which is due to-morrow. A solitary watchman, William Baton, was on the pler when the fire began. It had its origin in a storeroom at the far end of the plier, it is supposed from *pontaneous combustion. When Eaton Gtecovered it the whole storeroom was ablazo and clouds of stifling smoke were rolling through the building, The watchman turned in an alarm and called Policeman MoGinness, who was on duty int he Hoboken Swimming Baths adjotning the pler on the south. ‘They started to unravel the hose at- tached to plugs on the pier and the hose fell apart as though made of wet paper. There was nothing to be done but to await the arrival of the firemen. Hard Task for Firemen. ‘The entire Fire Departmet of Hoboken responded to the alarm. By the time lines were lafd 500 feet of the pier was ablaze and the flames har eaten through th walls and were sweeping out ovr te river like a great red banner at the outer end. A great deal of cotton and paper stock was stored on the pier and the blaze went through tt as though It had been gunpowder. Tugboats attracted by the blase hur- ried from lower Hoboken and the New York side. The fireboats New Yorker and Van Wyck were rushed from the Battery to the scene, When the fire- boats and tugs got in position the daze was put under control. ‘The heat generated by the fire was terrific. It was feit at the ferry-houses and Pennsylvania roads at the foot of West Twenty-third street, in this city. |The Hoboken firemen went down in shoals, overcome by the heat and the smoke. Other Property tn Danger. Under the circumstances it was im- possible to do much more than protect surrounding property and allow the fre to burn itself out in such parts of the pier as contained freight.
