The Pope’s illness.
The weakness of the Pope’s heart and the renal derangements cause the gravest concern. • The newspapers express surprise that some great clinical authority on chest and heart has not been consulted
The Pope passed a quiet night. He obtained some sleep, and the general condition was maintained.
The more favourable bulletins have relieved public anxiety.
Another bulletin was issued which was signed after Professor Rossoni had been consulted, stated that the Pope’s condition was grave, as the depression had increased, pleuritic liquid was accumulating rapidly and the patient’s heart was weak. The Pope has had a long conference with Cardinal Rampolia. His Holiness is-remarkably lucid. ANOTHER OPERATION POSSIBLE.
On quitting the Vatican after midnight, Dr Mazzoni, one of the Pope’s physicians, said his Holiness was no worse.
The newspaper “ L’ltalie ” states that it is expected the operation of thoracocentesis will be repeated. The paper adds that it is not' known whether Cardinal Moran, of Sydney, has exercised his right of demanding that the Conclave should await his arrival before proceeding to appoint a successor to Pope Leo XIII.
Though the doctor's consider the Pope’s recovery impossible they think he may live for a few days perhaps a week
