Pontiff Still Exhibts Remarkable VI. tailty, but It is Believed His Pass ing Away Is a Question of Hours. Short History of His Life. Rome, July 7.-The tex4 of the bul leti-n iseued by physicians th- morn ing, on the condItion of the pope's health is as followa: "Althougth his holiness dpassed the night almost without sleep, he is not so uneasy as be was yesterday. The oipe has been benellted by the in jection of digitalis and camphor, and the condition of his chest is normal. There Is a slight cough with some ca tarrhal omission. Buffic*nt nourish mont has been .taken. The pulse is still weak, but not intermittent and the temperature is below normal. The con dition of the august patient, therefone, cannot be described as better, but it certainly is -no worse." 'The amelioration in the pope's con dition this morning was so unnatural considering the gravity of his illnoss, POP LEO Kt. that it was feared that possibly it was only the last flickering of the vital flame. During this brighter interval, the Pope resumed his habits of command and insisted on givi-ng orders for the preparation of the brief appointing Monsignor Volponi, actually secretary of lotters to princes, ae secretary to the Consistorial congregation, a post vacant owing to the promotion of Mon signor Nocella, to the Cardinate. The of such an appointment, especia y at the present moment, is manifes when it is considered that at the pope's death the secretary of state ceases to exercise his functions, which are assumed immediately by the see retary of the Consistorial congregation. "God's will be done. Who would have holieved It, when only ten days ago I was presiding over a public consist ory?" murmured feebly Pope Leo as he felt himself late last evening sink i-ng into a sloop wvhichi lasted about three hours, until exe-ruciating pains brought him back to consciousness. He groaned and comp~lained of pains on both sides of the thorax. Tenderly Dr. Lapponi, atssistedi by Pope Leo's valet, Pio Contra, and the physician's second, Do Castro, lifted the frail form and changing the position, succeeded in giving the patient some relief. Though hovering on the brink of death, the life of the .pontiff is still prolonged by moans of strong stimu lants and concentrated nourishment, and while ho is stIl alive his wonder f-ul v-!tality may again resist and con quer the attack of his illness. Late last eveni-ng, after the excite ment of the ceremony of the last sac rament was over, the pope seemed less restless, partly soothed by the religious service and partly by a dose of chloral, w-hich was given him in considerable qauntity. TPhe interim during the early hou-rs of this morning testifies to the convic tion that the passing of Pope Leo is very near. The court yard of St. Damaso is filled with the carriages of the cardinals. In the cortile are d-rawn up the carriages of t-he cardi. nals and of many notables. The ser. vants and mesenger-s hurry across the court with bundles of huge wax tapers and with the robes of the ecclesiasti cal dignitarilos who are waiting within the. palace. The ante-ehamber of the palace was all through the nigh~t thronged with the princes of the church, high noblemen and membera of the dipilomatic corps.
