Two operating have been performed, and for a mai vf 1>4 years he has stood the strain of Tgerous llluess r< markal.dy well. Twt of his most d< voted attendants hav'dled during tlie week from the content watching at his bedside. The wro.fi has watched his sickness with ex|3Ctancy, hourly looking for his death The bulletins of Saturday give tb^/ollowing account of his condition: A gcnom feeling of tranquility marked tha day in Rome yesterday, due to widespread belief, that though the Popo's diys are numbered bis hour has .lot yei ome. The nevs of Friday morning's operation seil cardinals and ambassadors drivirc hurriedly to the Vatican 01" the forntir. relieved only by glimpses. The smibre black carriages and horses of tie scarlet robes worn by the pale facd occupants, contrasted strangely ,ith the brilliant equipages of the anilassadors. Outside St. Peter's the ordlniry visitors hurried past the guards am ascended the staircase leading to the nner court of the Vatican. Tho sut beat ficrciy 011 the plain white shutcrs which shelter the Pope's room, nu.i all eyes were turned towards tien. Compared with the magnificent? below, with the bewildering colors <f the papal court, and the rich attire of the guards, the shuttered windows n*? nenRant-1 tiro in their simtilii". Ity. Arother window caught the eye. This wis open nn<l the sun streamed in on fhi'phhel's "priceless frescoes and lit up the great marble portico. "Within there," said a papel attendant., "the rooms aro all ready for Oreglla, the cardinal deacon, who will reign during the interregnum." The samo grim preparation is apparent 011 all sides. Count Pecol, a nephew of the dying Pope, wearing a straw hat and flannels, sat. in the fire engine hoise opposite the private entrance to the Vatican chatting with the firemen. Carriage after carriage drove into the court. All the eardinals and eountle.ss bishops and priests eame to awal*. the bulletin. A small crowd of men. vomcn and children of all descriptions besieged the door where the news was to he given out. l.Vnm ~ < rti ? . ...... uic rosuu >>i r>i. /ingrio rumo the boom of the midday mm nnd then the palatine guard gate the signal fur the anxious crowd to he admitted. Passing through the eorridor each received a slip of white paper on which the morning bulletin was already printed. Intently reading these papers, the crowd filed out through another door past the armed guard and into the quiet streets. During the remainder of the day but few sought the Vatiean .Then camo the night bulletin and | far larger crowds thin had gathered during the day wandered to the Vatican in the cool of the evening. The ' Swiss Guards had received instructions only to admit a small portion of the inquirers prior to the printing of the bulletin, nnd even th's restricted nninl?er almost filled I lie court of the VatIran while many waited in suspense ca the steps of St. Peter's. The Succ ?sor. In the event of the Pope's death his office will be filled by Oroglio the resident cardinal lieneon for fifteen day:', when an election will he liehl by the college of Cardinals.. Tho election will then he entered into, and the candidate who is chosen as the future Pope must receive a two-thirds majority. A number of Cardinals are already avowed candidates for the papal tiara. The prospects are that the successful candidate will be on Italian. In this connection the following is given: The Pope's end being near, public attention is almost exclusively concentrated on Ida S9S pvnnium OUlX't'?HUr, and the innvomcnts of tho cardinals arc closely watched. Several of them have visited Cardinal Gottl, Prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Hiahopa and Regulars and of Regular Dis- j cipline. Gottl. in tho first ballotlngs i in the Conclave, will have many votes, I but certainly no ttho two-thirds majority necesBury to i elect, because there ia.a strong party In the Vnnnutelll and Ramrolla groups. about ten In number, will vote iigalnst him. The attitude of Cardinal Francis Satolll, Prefect of the Confregatlon of Studies, and formerly papal delegate at Washington. in this wholesale canvassing attrnrts attention. Ho lives a retirod life, in voids mooting his colleagues. and in'.y goes to the Vatican when It Is absolute!.^ necessary. He Is evidently posing fts a neutral on whom tho mn oriiv may fall if the con dieting factions become tired." Cardinal Satolli lu is no enemies in the Sacred Collegi >, and is of the most re spectable antecedents. The foregoing are the curren t who will vote agntn3t him.
