THE MORNING OREGON AS. SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1903, THE POPE YET LIVES Death Is Postponedby an Operation. , D AKG&R -STILL IMMINENT Pattest' Xow Suffers Prom Drovrsl ncHK Mere Injections Made Pon tiff In Xot Aware of the Presence of Doctors. (Continued from Tlrst Page.) j. In the area limited to the region -where the puncture was made for the extraction of the liquid, which is on a line drawn from the nipple of the right breast under the arm to the spinal column, the obtuse sound thus being between the sixth and eighth ribs. "With his head against the ribs, Dr. Lapponi heard a murmur in the vesicular region. The mumur' was con fused with pleurie rumblings, together with gurglings, as if of small to middle sized -"bubbles. After the operation the Pope felt so relieved that he Insisted on getting up and took several steps toward his arm chair and seated himself for a few min utes. He then rose and going to the ."bookshelves, where he keeps his favorite Authors, took down "Hermcnces Are Poe tica," returned to the chair and began reading, holding one leg over the other. He seemed to feel no Ill-eftects from Jhe operation, on the contrary, he appeared to have derived benefit from it. Later in the day the Pope had lunch and then took a long rest. " At 3:15 P. M. he was still enjoying a Testful repose and showing no lll-offects Irom the operation. The neighborhood of the Vatican was tranquil. At 4:20 P. 31. all was still quiet at the Vatican. .No change of any sort was re ported. Dr. MazzonI had an examination made hy a mlcroscoplst of the Pope's pleura to ascertain if It contained any specific rol cribe. Some doubt had arisen as to wheth er the original attack of pneumonia had been proi'oked by some specific agency, such as, for Instance, tuberculosis or can cer. The examination showed no such microbe, and the conclusion was Inevit able that the pneumonia was due, as originally stated, to a dynamic circulation, proceeding from lack of heart strength. POPE'S STRENGTH AMAZES DOCTOR. Rossonl, However, Has Xo Hope Tlint tlie Patient Will Survive. HOME, July 10. Professor Rossonl graphically described the Pope's condition and surroundings to the Associated Press correspondent. "It micht have been expected," he said, "that I would find a weary old man, with exhausted body and spirit, and ready to enter eternity. But, on the contrary, when I approached the bedside. T Imme diately saw that I had been mistaken. In spite of all I had heard concerning his marvelous -Itallty, I was amazed to find a man of such great age, after so dan gerous an Illness, exhibiting such versa tility of mind and such power of mental centralization. "As I approached the bed he pressed my hand with a slight effort and looked at me intently with his bright, black, ex pressive eyes. He wore a calm, dignified smile, and began asking me a number of Questions. It seemed .almost lncompre henslble that this was a man on the verge of death. Every power of will and in tellect remained intact, showing complete ( consciousness of ego. Imagine an inva lid 91 years of age. anxious to make the acquaintance of his new consulting doc tor, asking suggestive questions and test ing his opinion of clinical science. That any dying man should be able to make uch a prompt, decided effort of the will Js certainly astonishing. "The Pope asked me If I had read cer frnin pssavs utton medical natholoev. writ ten by a student who took his degree in 1824. " I was very young then said the Pope, smiling, 'but I remember many cir cumstances of that happy period of my life.' "After hearing his questioning of my studies and scientific ability. I assure you I was almost ready to believe that some miracle was being wrought concerning the Pope's condition." Professor Rossonl said that the state of the Pontiff was very serious. There was little danger of an immediate climax, al thousrh it was constantly present. The Pope was making a brave struggle. "But." the doctor continued, "his wea pons of defense are weak. Even the finest tempered steel becomes blunted after so many years of use. A renewal of the pleurie pneumonia Is always dangerous, even In a young, strong organism. There lore, how much more dangerous Is It In an old. Fortunately, there are only lew more serious complications. The de fective respiration has had a bad Influ ence on the circulation, and we find an alarming depression in the heart's action, Perhaps this second withdrawal of the liquid deposit may restore the circulation, tout the great question is, 'Can this relief 5)e sufficient and permanent? "Unfortunately, there are many reasons Jor doubt, both concerning the restored circulation and the clearing of the respi ratory passages." The doctor declined ,to say whether. In his judgment, the Pope would have peaceful end. He concluded the Inter view by saying: "The Pope Is very seriously ill and is very low. All the rest Is smoke." ROME POSTPONES ITS SORROW. Sublime Sclf-Conficlcnce of the Pa tient Permeates the People. ROME, July 11, 12:10 A. M. A general feeling o." tranquility marked the day in Rome yesterday, due to the widespread hellef that though the pope's days are numbered, his hour has not yet come. The sublime self-confidence of the pa tlent permeates the people, especially the simpler folk, who go about their day's work, postponing signs of sorrow and mourning until from the sickbed Itself they hear that the unusual struggle Is Hearing Its end. The news of yesterday morning's opera tlon sent cardinals and Ambassadors hurriedly to the Vatican. The somber "black carriages and horses of the former. relieved only by glimpses of the scarlet robes worn by the pale-faced occupants, contrasted strangely with the brilliant equipages of the Ambassadors. Outside St. Peter's the ordinary visitors hurried past the Swiss Guards and ascended the staircase leading o the Interior , court of the Vatican. The sun beat fiercely on the plain' white shutters which sheltered the pope's room; and all eyes were turned toward them Compared with the magnificence below with the bewildering colors of the papal court and the rich attire of the guards, the shuttered windows are peasant-like In their slmpllcty. Another window caught the eye. This was open and tlie sun streamed In on Raphael's priceless frescoes and lit up the great marble portico. "Within there," said a papal attendant; "the rooms are all ready for Oreglia, the cardinal deacon, who will reign during the 'Interregnum." The same grim preparation is apparent on-all sides. Count Peccl. a nephew ot the dying pope, wearing a straw hat and flannels, sat In the fire-engine house, opposite the private entrance to the Vati can, chatting with the firemen. . car riage after carriage drove Into the court. The French, German and other Ambassa dors descended to make Inquiries. Prince Masslno. looking almost as venerable as the pope himself, head of one of the most ancient families of Rome, and all the cardinals and countless bishops and priests came to await the bulletin.- A small crowd of men, women and children of all descriptions besieged the door where the news was to be given out. From the castle of St. Angelo came the boom of the midday gun, and hen the Palatine Guard gave the signal for the-; anxious crowd to be admitted. Passing through the corridor each received a slip of white paper on which the morning bulletin was already printed. Intently reading the paper the crowd filed out through another door, past the armed guard and Into the quiet street ( During the remainder of the day but few of the public sought the Vatican. Then came the night bulletin and far larger crowds than had gathered during the day wandered" to the Vatican in the cool of the evening. The Swiss Guards had received instruc tions only to admit a small portion of the inquirers prior to the printing of the bulletin, and even this restricted num ber almost filled"' the court of the Vatl-. can, while, many waited In suspense on the steps of St. Peters. POPE'S VALET A REAL HERO. He Maintains n Sleepless Vigil Night and Day Over His Master. ROME, July 10. A lowly hero has been developed by the pope's illness in the per son of Pio Centra, the faithful valet of the pontiff, who maintains a sleepless vigil, night and day, over his beloved mas ter. When Centra is watching alone through the long nights he looks on the venerable pontiff with the" eyes of a mother anxiously studying the progress of a disease In her child. Frequently the patient's eyes are unable to gaze on Cen tra's face, but the two men, without speaking, understand each other perfectly. The fatigue of the present ordeal has almost broken down the faithful attend ant, but nevertheless he obstinately re fuses to yield to others the honor of ten dering his services. "Whenever the pope wakes from a short drowse he calls for Centra, knowing that the latter fully un derstands his slightest personal wishes. The doctors and members or the pope's household advise, almost command. Cen tra to take a rest, but he refuses to listen to them, respectfully giving everyone to understand that it Is useless to annoy him and that he considers his post to. be beside the pope, and no one about the Vatican seems to have the power to drive him from the pope s side. An Interesting story Is told of the re cent Interview, between the pope and his nephews. When they were admitted to his apartment the pope promptly asked for news of his birthplace. "When did word of my Illness reach Carplneto?" said his holiness. "On Saturday, holy father." re plied Count Ludovlc Peccl. "Strange." re sumed the pontiff, "I only fell 111 last Sunday." As his nephews were leaving the pope called his valet. Centra, and said: "Be sure to serve the children," as he calls his gray-haired nephews, "with Ices." Then, turning to his nephews, he said, laughingly: "If there is any left, leave one for me."- GAMBLING ON THE NEXT POPE. Italians Place 'brcgrlln Gottl and Rampolla In the Lead. ROME, July 10. In the provinces so firmly rooted has become the conviction that the pope will not recover that the I discussion concerning his successor Is al- j most superseding In general Interest the ' details of the pontiff's Illness. Betting ' goes on wun great animation, each card inal having ias fervent admirers. Those most frequently mentioned as likely to be the next occupant of the papal throne are Cardinal Oreglia. Gottl and Rampolla, Dut uartnnais AgllardI, Seraflno Van- nutelll and Ferrari press them hard in public favor. King: May Postpone His Visit, PARIS, July 10. The foreign officers of the French and Italian governments are considering the advisability ot postpon ing until the Autumn the visit of the King of Italy to Paris, owing to the con dition of the pope. While such a post ponement has not yet been definitely ar ranged, it is very probable. KAISER IS NOT EXPECTED. Italy Expects Greatest Liberty to Prevail at the Fnneral. ROME. July 10. The renort has renrherl here from Berlin that Emperor William has expressed an Intention of attending the popes funeral.

CARDINAL VANNUTELLI. ONE OF THE ME3IBERS. OF THE SACRED COLLEGE AND A POS SIBLE SUCCESSOR OF POPE LEO. say that nobody here believes the re port. It may be added further that Italy does not look upon the papacy from this point of view, as the government, as well as the Italian neonle. evince their desire to demonstrate to the world that under the present conditions, that Is since 1870, j wnen me temporal power ien, tne pope and the Vatican have enjofed com plete liberty In the exercise of their spiritual offices. For this reason no op position has ever been raised by tho Italian government when foreign rulers have visited Rome, recent examples be ing the calls made on the pontiff by King Edward and Emperor William. Pope Leo has manifested great In terest In the intended vislt-of King Vic tor Emmanuel to Paris next week. Today he made inquiries regarding the plans for the trip, but the person Interrogated was unable to reply. The Tribuna, the semi-official organ of the government, says tonight: "In view of the condition of the pope, which occasions deep suspense throughout the ' Catholic world, the visit of King IVctor Emmanuel to France has been postponed until next September by ..a common accord between the French and Italian governments. 0neen "Wllhelmlna "Wants Bulletins. ROME, July 10. Queen Wllhelmlna, of Holland, has requested that Information qe sent to her dally at Castle Loo re garding the condition of the pope. Dispatches of Inquiry continue to reach the Vatican from rulers and other prom inent .persons throughout the world, showing how intense is the universal anxiety regarding the pontiff's health. FULL LIBERTY AT CONCLAVE. Italy Manifests a Deep Interest In . Pope's Illness. ROME. July 10. The Italian govern ment t follows the fluctuations of Pope Leo's condition with deep interest. Prem ier Zanardelll Is kept constantly advised of every stage of the sickness. Im mediately - after yesterday's conference Prof. Rossonl called on the Premier and made a statement regarding the condition i of the pope. He again Informed the Premier on this morning's conference. Regarding questions put to him Senor Zanardelll has expressed his personal feeling regarding the pontiff. He added: "My duty is to assure, not only In the J3r. Lappoai. Interest of Italy, but of all Europe, the most absolute liberty to the approach ing conclave, and the fullest 'assurance may be entertained that this liberty will be given." Premier Zanardelll had a long confer ence today with the Minister ot Justice, Slgnor Coccu-Ortu, under whose Juris diction are all religious affairs In Italy, about the eventual right of veto which the Italian government might exercise at the next conclave. Three Catholic powers, Spain, France and Austria, enjoy this privilege, termed the "right of exclu slon" which entitles them to m veto the election of a candidate who 'is not a persona grata to their governments. In such a case a power which may de sire to prevent the election of a certain candidate deputes a cardinal of Its na tionality to announce the objection at the conclave, but the announcement must be made while the scrutiny Is going on, before the candidate has received a ma jority of votes required to elect, other wise the protest would be Invalid. This right has been regarded as extremely Important, especially in the Middle Ages. For France, Austria and Spain the choice of a pontiff Was a question of supreme Importance as Jje played a leading part In their disputes. Italy claims the right referrea o as the heir of the .kingdom of the' two Sicilies, which enjoyed the right, but Italy did not exercise it In the last conclave and may perhaps find it difficult to do so now, as no Italian cardinal, even among those who are most conciliatory .would undertake to repre sent united Italy, which Is considered by the church to have usurped temporal sovereignty of the papacy. Portugal also claims to be entitled to veto the election of an undesirable car dinal to the papacy, but her right has never been acknowledged. Austria tried j at both the last conclave respectively to prevent the election of Plus IX, and Leo XIII, but the two cardinals deputed for the task both arrived too late. VOLPONI COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN Secretary of Consistory Not Paid the Usual Fnneral Honors. ROME, July 10. The extraordinary con vlctlon prevailing at the Vatican, outside the Immediate vicinity of the pope's sick room. Is demonstrated by the remarkable neglect to make even the most ordinary preparations for the Interment of Mon slgnore Volponl, the secretary of the con slstory and canon of St. Peters, who died suddenly yesterday of syncope. Usually the funeral of so high an ecclesiastic would have been a prominent event In Rome, but toc'uy It was completely for gotten In the shadow of the great 1m pending loss to the church. The body of Monslgnore Volponl seems to have been permitted to remain almost in the condition In which he died. The remains were not laid out In the cus tomary manner. Only two lighted candles were provided and they were permitted to burn to the sockets and had almost ex plred when a noble Roman woman camo this morning to view the body. She raised an indignant outcry at such a condition 5 of affaire. Hasty arrangements were then made for the Interment. At 5 o'clock, the coffin was brought down from Monslgnore Volponl's room, situated lmmedately above the pope's apartments. and placed in a communal hearse of the fourth class, drawn by two horses, such as Is usually employed for small trades men and comparatively poor persons. A few choir boys, monks and priests headed the procession to the Church of Santa Maria, where the final rites were cele brated. There was an. entire absence of eccles iastical dignitaries and prominent mem bers of the lofty, who, In ordinary cir cumstances, would attend the ceremony. The great bell of St. Peters was toled a few moments only, which Is remarkable In view of the fact that the news of Mon- slgnore Volponl's death was kept from the pope, who must have heard the bell. .which "Is tolled only for prelates and ec- clesiasts of the high honor. POPE'S IRON "WILL IS OVERCOME. Doctors Persuade His Holiness Xot -to Receive Three Cardinals. ROME, July 10. Once today the doctors succeeded in overcoming Pope Leo's Iron will. He had firmly decided to receive three cardinals. This decision followed his conclusion yesterday to receive In ac cordance with his rank of cardinals, viz.: Cardinal bishops, cardinal deacons and cardinal priests. The last named body had shown considerable Irritation at not seeing the pontiff and at being compelled to get news of his condition through out side channels. Therefore, following Carlnal Rampolla's visit yesterday, the pope decided to receive today one of each of these classes of cardinals. After this morning's operation, ho requested the doc tors to leave the room, saying he wished to see the cardinals. The doctors gently but firmly protested, declaring that he was still too weak. "But. I shall not be fatigued, as I feel much better this morning, argued the pope. But the doctors Insisted, urging that It was for his own good and Pope Leo finally yielded, although expressing the the hope that he might see some of the cardinals, later. Disease Dne to Simple Pleurisy. ROME. July 10. Professor Rossonl, as sisted by the other doctors, analyzed the serum extracted this morning. The doc tors explained that the purpose of the analysis was to determine whether the case originated from tuberculosis -or a tumor In the thorax. The analysis showed that the disease was merely due to simple pleurisy. VolponULald In the Tomb. RfiMK. Julv 10. The funeral of Msr.

Outcalt, a well-known merchant of "Wellston, Okla., recently succeeded in extricating himself from a serious difficulty is one of the Interest ing- stories now going the rounds of the papers. "I had been working very hard," he says In telling the story. "For a long time I had given almost every moment of my attention to my business, and I did not notice what effect this was hav ing on me. But Anally I saw that my health was giving way I was getting thin, was always tired and easily out of breath; my blood was poor, my stomach bad. Every now and then'I would be dizzy and any little exertion would ex haust me completely. In short, " I was all run down. "Then One day Isaw an advertise ment which led me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They acted like magic I felt better in a few days. My flesh came back till I regained my normal weight, my appetite returned and my general health is now better than it had been for many years. I have recommended Dr. Williams Pink Pills to many of my friends, and am glad of this opportunity to tell what the remedy has done for me." What Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People did for Mr".

RAMPOLLA IS BROKEX-HEAHTED. He Says His Human Life Will End With That of the Pope. PARIS, July 11. According to a dispatch to the Journal from Rome, the ambas sadors on Friday found Cardinal Rampolla wrapped in a woolen shawl, bent and com plaining of being sick. The cardinal de clared that he would retire from active life at the Vatican and would not attend the conclavfc, He said to tho Spanish am bassador: "I want to go Into a monastery and withdraw from the world. My human life will end with that of Pope Ieo." Cardinal Rampolla wept bitterly, but at noon had an Interview with Cardinal Gottl, who succeeded In consoling him. LOADED WITH RED-EYE. Armed Terror Wanted to Pull Salt Lake Off the Map. Boston Herald. The desire of "Red" Galacher to enjoy the experience of riding In an automobile was all that persuaded him to surrender recently and give tho police force of Salt Lake, Utah, a chance for life. "Red" had been storing up red beverages all day, and he emerged with a whoop from a saloon and announced In a strident voice that It was his night to howl. '.'I'm a wolf. I'm a wolf!" chanted "Red," as storekeepers began hastily to put up their shutters and tenderfeet fled from his path. "I'm going to throw a lassoo around this yere town and pull It off the map; anybody want any car nage?" He succeeded In creating a reign of terror for a while, in the cturse of which he stood off half the police force with two large revolvers. At last Police man Davies succeeded in getting the "bad man" to hold a parley. "What is It you want, 'Red'?" asked the diplomatic officer. "I want to kill the whole police force," explained the "terror." "They're sots and lepers, and I won't have 'em on the earth. The only thing that will pull me off this yere mission of purification Is a chance to rids In an automobile." " 'Red, " said Davies, persuasively, "If you'll let me put you under arrest, you can ride In one." "Red" consented and one was procured. When "Red" was locked up in the sta tion, charges with assault with Intent to kill, he declared It was the proudest day of his life. JTw Same Yesterday AILING MEN We Can Cure You DR. W. NORTOX DAVIS.
