Rome. by ( 'bio.?The first week of
the Rope's rents illness closed with
his condition , ">rartically unchanged.
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.

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

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
