ROME, July 7, 8:33. Although the popo Is etill alive,- Cardinal Oreglla begins to be the center of all Vatican affairs, as it is considered that the moment is close at hand when he will assume the supreme power In his capacity as Cardinal Camere lengo. Engineers Schlefer and Manuco, who are called architects of the conclave, as their office consists in walling up the cardinals when they have gathered for the election of a'new pope, have placed them selves at tho disposal of Cardinal Oreglla, as has also Prince Chlgi, who holds the 'ofllce of marshal of the conclave. In all the churches masses are celebrated and thee are attended by an extraordin ary number of the faithful, who pray for the recovery of the pontiff. There is considerable excitement around the Vatican, and numerous persons are go ing to and coming from the pope's bed room. The relatives of the pontiff. Car dinal Rampolla and Pope Leo's private secretaries, however, remain in the cham ber. Cardinal Rampolla has been receiv ing members of the diplomatic body at all hours of the day and night. Several large books kept for the purpose have been signed by members -of the Ro man aristocracy, high ecclesiastical au thorities, notable personages of the papal court and distinguished strangers who have called to inquire reguardlng the pope's condition. All the papal military bodies In perman ent service are earning tho two months' extra pay which they receive In case of the death of the pope and extra pay for two additional months from a new "pope, Up to 8:35 A.

END IS MOMENTARILY EXPECTED. Architects to Wall Up the .Cardinals Report for Duty. ROME, July 7, 9:35 A. M. When Dr. Mazzonl went this morning to the Vati can, Dr. Lapponl made a' full report to him as to how the pope had passed the night. Then both entered the sick room Pope Leo smiled benevolently at Dr. Maz- zonl, but seemed not to have sufficient strength to speak. The doctor asked "How is your holiness?" To thla inquiry the pontiff, in a faint voice, replied: "I have no illusion and am resigned." Then he Talsed his eyes, while his Hps moved, evidently in prayer. The doctors then proceeded to make a most minute examination of the patient. listening to his breathing and testing hlB lungs, and found that the pneumonia from which his holiness has been suffering is now complicated with pleurisy and the pontiff has paralysis of the fingers. Pope Leo passed a restless, sleepless night. The pope this morning having expressed a desire to read the Qsservatore Oomano and the Voce Lela Verlta to see what they were saying about his illness, special edl tlons were prepared and sent to his holl ness.

Another morning has broken on the pathetic scene within the simple chamber of the Vatican where Pope Leo lies dying. As the soft light of dawn penetrated into the room the pontiff whispered to his devoted physl clan that he desired the shutters of the windows to be opened, saying: "I wish to see once more, perhaps for the last time, the rays of the sun." It was Just a short while after the pope came back to consciousness from a sleep which Dr. Lapponl had induced by rstrong dose of chloral. His sleep was so deathlike that artificial respiration was continued, and Dr. Lapponl, every few mln utes, leaned anxiously oyer the couch to observe the Illustrious patient and listen to his hardly perceptible; breathing. Pope Leo awoke wet, with perspiration, feeble to the extreme and his voice hardly audi ble. . The . fits of coughing had brought pains In his chest and shoulders, and, thinking his end was now near, ho said to Dr. Lapponl: .- "Tell me' when the time really comes." The doctor assured his holiness that he believed tho danger of j his immediate passing was averted fdrthe night and for today. f a These seemingly last Moments of Pope Leo are full of solemnity. Perhaps his last hours' would be less melancholy and sad If the august sufferer were less con scious of the circumstances .and his mind less clear as to the duration of the time remaining to him before, he enters eternity. , Althniieh his nhvslcal nowersare at tho lowest ebb and his breathing becomes -more labored, the pope's mind : Is " clear, as Is manifest to all around him by his bright, expressive eyes, and tho few words he now and then succeeds In utter- lng. The scene is so touching that, those present can. scarce restrain their tears. . Count Camlllo Peccl, the pope s nephew, whom the dying man kept by 'hla bedside yesterday, was so exhausted late' last I night by his contending emotions tnat he had to be taken from his uncle's room,. completely worn out. A few moments before, as he stood be sides the b6d, Pope Leo laidjhls hand"on his head with paternal anecuon, saying, "Take courage." Shortly after 10 o'clock at night- the pontiff received the extreme unction. At" 9 o'clock his condition seemed so hope less that only a short time apparently remalned before he would glide Into his last sleep. At Dr. Lapponl's initiative a hasty consultation of the pope's relatives. Cardinal Rampolla and other eccleslasts was held, and it was decided that ex treme unction should be given. The pontiff received the announcement with his usual calmness, and, though scarcely able to speak audibly, he said he knew his time had come, and he was ready to appear before tho sublime tribunal with full trust In the divine mercy. Monsignore Pifferi, Pope Leo's confes sor, administered the extreme unction, and when the ceremony was over his holi ness sank back on the pillow with ap parent great relief that -all was done, and he was entering Into rest after his long pilgrimage. After the administration of the vlata- cum, telegrams hoping for his recovery were shown to the pope, and he appeared to be much gratified. One of the strang est features In his condition is the inter est the pope takes in telegrams Inquiring about hla health. Yesterday, having heard that a French lady whom he had received In audience a few weeks ago had telegraphed a message of sympathy, he asked to see the message, and when Mon signore Pifferi brought it he was not al lowed to look at the message. From the piazza of St. Peter's the groups of watchers can see figures flitting to and fro past the lighted windows of the palace, an unusual number of which are Illuminated. It is considered certain that the visit to France of ' the King and Queen of Italy, "now nrriuiged for July IS, will be po.tpoiled, xin the everit "of a fataj termination of the pope's Illness King Victor Emmanuel will "not be able to leave the kingdom until tho successor to the pontifical throne has been elected and Installed.

Those Who Think the Pope Will Re cover Are Cherishing; an Illusion. ROME, July 6. The Associated Pres3 correspondent Interviewed Dr. Lapponl during his brief absence from the Vati can today. It was easy to read In his pale face the signs of anxiety he felt. "Unfortunately," said Dr. Lapponl, "I cannot give you any really consoling news. I cannot share the optimism which Is spreading today, which Is not owing to a definite change for the better, but to the spirit of the pope, who Is giving further proof that his Indefatigable en ergy continues. "The truth is that the pontiff's condition Is stationary, which means that it Is very grave. I will go so far as to say that, although he may live for several days. It would bo cherishing an illusion to think he may recover, unless some un foreseen crisis occurs. His pulse has be come, to use a medical term, evanescent, which means almost Imperceptible. The (Concluded on Pago 4.) MORE MILITIAMEN TO SCENE. INDIANAPOLIS, July 7. Governor Durbln was very much agitated by the Information from Evansvllle. "If this condition continues," he de clared, emphatically, "I shall go to Evansvllle myself and declare the city under martial law." At midnight he began ordering out additional mllltla companies. The first was that from. Vlnolnnes -which was rushed to the scene of the riot on a special train. The New Albany com pany was called out and placed under arms read) to move on a moment's notice, arrangements having been mode for a special train which would hurry the soldiers to the scene. The Governor was IndJgncnt that the Sheriff of Vanderburg County had not quelled the riot In its incipiency. "He should have sworn in 1000 deputies in stead of 100," ho said. "If he had performed his duties fearlessly In the first place without trying to shift tho responsibility to the state this thing would not have happened." EVANSVTLLE. Ind., July 6. Following four days of rioting and general lawless ness, this city tonight saw the most ter rible of Its experiences with rioters. Seven persons are dead and 14 are known tO'be Injured, and at least that number more are thought be to hurt. The dead: Edward Schlffman, painter; top of head blown off with rifle.

One of them was shot through the shoulder,- another through the ankle, "and the other received two slight scratches. - The Deputy Sheriffs were slightly wounded. Mllltla Fires on the Mob. " At 10:30 o'clgck the members of Com pany A, First Regiment, Indiana Nation al Guard, after a day's vigilant guarding of the County Jail, and 100 Deputy Sher iffs, under Sheriff Ohris Kratz, fired point blank Into a mob of 100 men 'gathered on Fourth. Division and Vino streets, sur rounding the -Vanderburg . County, Jail, and attempting 'Its capture. - From 1 "o'clock this morning until the hour of to night's catastrophe the crowd surged about the Jail, calling the militiamen vile names, assaulting them with stones and berating tho Deputy Sheriffs who guard ed the jail. - The mob had gradually be come more and more excited, and its manifestations of uneasiness more fre quent, and at 10 o'clock It was seen that nothing could prevent an assault on the Jail. At 10:30 o'clock the rioters pressed for ward with determination, and innocent onlookers and the curious followed. Slow ly they forced the militiamen back to ward the Jail, until the alleyway between Division street and the stone building was reached. Then the leaders, with a bicycle in their front as a shield to the bayonets of the soldiers, attempted to en ter the alley and storm tne aueyway en trance. Soldiers Use Their Bayonets. Captain Blum, of the National Guard, ordered a charge on the rioters. Gradually the crowd was forced back, the soldiers using their bayonets and butts of their guns. Suddenly a rioter fell. A soldier tried to drag him to his feet, but before he could do eo was assaulted by a rioter. Stones and boulders began to fly through the air. A soldier was struck with a rock and fell. A rioter was knocked down with a gun butt and then a shot was fired. The one shot started a fusil lade of musketry and shotgun fire from tho defenders of the jail, and a scattered return fire from the rioters. Fully 300 shots were fired from the jail windows, the Courthouse steps immediately oppo site, and the soldiers In -the streets. No one knows who fired the first shot. The soldiers say It was the rioters. Governor Durbln is said to have In structed the authorities not to Jeopardize the safety of the jail with half-way meas ure. " The sbiaicTs and deputies fired Into the rctreatlner'rnoVjof men, who ran lntb Division street. "For 15 -minutes the firing bontinued. "rt'hen it ceased, the soldiers had the place. In front of the staggering band of 5S soldiers lay the dead and wounded. Moans and shrieks of agony ana fear came from the Injured. Mob Leader's Head Is Blown Off. Ed Schlffmann, a painter, who was seen in the front ranks of the mob.durlng the evening, lay on the sidewalk, the top of his head blown completely off and his brains, oozing on the eidewalk. A short distance from him lay another man, and close by another young man lay dead with a bullet wound over the heart. All over the street, crawling and moaning, wounded rioters and onlookers tried to ease their pain and escape by getting away from theJall. On Division street, lying between her grief-stricken father and mother, the little Allman girl was dead, with her breast torn away by a buckshot charge. She was out driving with her parents, who were attracted by the noise and stopped a few minutes to watch the excitement. In the ward of the Courthouse wounded rioters lay, and back of the line of soldiers two of the militiamen had fallen. On the Jail steps stood Sheriff Kratz.
