The Life of the Pontiff Prolonged by 8trong Stimulants—His Wonderful Vitality May Offset Illness, but the Worst Is Looked for—His Successor Is the 8ubjee* Already. t Rome, July 6, 3 a. m.—“God’s will be done. Who would have believed It, when only ten days ago I was presid ing over a public consistory T” mur mured feebly Pope Leo as he felt him self late last evening sinking Into a sleep which lasted about three hours, until excruciating pain brought the dy ing pontiff back to consciousness. He groaned and complained of pains on both sides of the thorax. Tenderly Dr. Lapponi, assisted by Pope Leo’s valet, Plocentra, and the physician’s second assistant, De 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 bjr means of strong stimu lants and nourishment, and while he Is still alive his wonderful vitality may again resist and conquer the attack of this Illness. ' Late last evening, after the excite ment of the ceremony of the last sac raments was over, the pope seemed lees restless, partly soothed by the reloglous service and partly by a dose of choral, which was given to him in considerable quantity. The pontiff la'lying on a small bed drawn up to a window overlooking piazza of SL Peter's. The only picture In the room Is an antique ma donna and the sole ornament a i Ivorf crucifix. Passing of Leo Seems Near. The interior of the Vatican during is early hours of this morning testi ts to the conviction that the passing of Pope Leo Is very near. The court yard of 8L Damaao Is filled with the carriages of the cardinals. Cardinal Satolll drove to Rome from Frascati has taken nourishment four times dur ing the night His pulse shows a slight Improvement At 6:30 o'clock this morning he left his bed for an arm chair.

An opera tion, performed yesterday, gave relief temporarily. His mental activity Is astonishing.

A dispatch to the London Central News from Rome, timed 9 o’clock Thursday morning, says all la quiet at the Vatican. Though the pope bad six hours’ sleep, he passed a restless night. A consultation will be held this morning, the dispatch adds, be- a Drs.

All kinds of speculation are already In circulation as to the probable suc cessor to the throne of 8L Peter. Opinions are much divided, owing to the many Interests which will be af fected according to the choice made by the sacred college. The first ques tion the cardinals will have to solve will be whether the conclave shall be held in Rome or outside of Italy. It is believed that the supporters of the Idea of abandoning Rome will be even fewer than In the conclave held after the death of Plus IX., when 32 out of 17 cardinals voted In favor of Rome. The next question will be whether the next pope must be an Italian or foreigner. It Is generally believed that he will be an Italian because, of the struggle between the church and state since the fall of the temporal power and the constitution of the United Italy, all the clergy, as well as the clerical party, and even for eigners, think that an Italian pope can protect better than a stranger the ad vance of the religious and political Interests of the church. The candidates chiefly spoken of are Cardinal Ram polls and Cardinal Sere- flno Vannutelli. They are both repre sentatives of the conservative policy. A fact significant of the anxiety pervading the officials at the Vatican, as well as the 8acred college, is that Marquis Sacchettl, the high steward of the palace, with his son as coadjutor, and Comendator Mannuccl, who recta the temporal affairs of the Vati can, are continually In attendance, the last named having the responsibility q)T the preparations regarding the sum moning of a conclave In the event of the pope's death. Monslgnor Pleferri, the Augustlnlan monk who holds the office of confes sor to the pontiff, and Cardinal Sera- flno Vannutelli, the grand penitentiary, have been requested to keep them selves in readiness to be called should Pope Leo’s Illness take a still more serious turn. Cardinal Serafino Van- nutelU's office consists of administer ing the last communion to the dying pontiff. The condition of his holiness at 11 o’clock tonight though still grave, is not so serious as late this afternoon. Later. Rome. July 7, 6:45.—A bulletin has Just been Issued. It says the con dition of the pope Is satisfactory. Af- M TELEfiBAPH B B » CULLED FROM DI8PATCHE8 OF THE A 88 OCIATED PRE88.
