PONTIFF BEARS UP WELL Submits to Surgeon's Knife Without a Tremor. SENDS FOR HIS RELATIVES His Holiness Tells Them He Feels HI Time to Go Is at Hand, and Requests That a Last Good Bye Be Said. ROME, July 8, 6:55 A. M. The pope on -waking did not speak. He was somewhat Irritable, and It seemed as though the blankets and other bed clothes -were too heavy, so he kicked them off, at the Imminent risk of tak ing a fresh cold, which would be abso lutely .fatal. The doctors consider that altogether his holiness had a rather peaceful night. All Is tranquil at the Vatican this morning. The medical bulletin, which will be Issued at the usual hour. Is awaited with, great expectation. Dr. Lapponl at 0 o'clock had gono to sleep. ROME, July 8, 2:15 A. M. Pope Leo Is now sleeping, but his head lies uneasy on the pillow. The alleviation brought about by yesterday's operation of removing the fluid from his pleura was followed later in the evening by a restless period, and fresh doses of chloral, digitalis and caffeine had to be7 aflmlnlsterd. Under their influence the pontiff fell into a slumber, which, however, was not very peaceful, on account of the difficulty the patient has in breathing. Seeing Dr. Lapponl always at his bedside, the pope just before falling asleep, said kindly to him: "Now it is your turn tonight. You must Bleep." Throughout the Vatican absolute calm prevails tonight, the excitement of yes terday having to a great extent died out with the revival of hope after the an nouncement that yesterday's operation was ended with success. J Today the authorities inaugurated more stringent regulations for the preservation of order and quiet at the Vatican. There is no denying that the life of the pontiff is slowly wasting away. There are mo ments when he seems better, and others in which he is worse, but, no one doubts that hour by hour, moment by moment, he la leaving the world. By the pope's express desire, his rela tives came to see him today. The ecene was most touching. His nephews, to whom he has been a royal father, en tered the room sobbing. His holiness soothed them, saying: "I feel the moment approaching when I muet leave you. Say your last good-by. I am about to enter eternal life. But do not grieve for me. I am "about to enter my real happiness." Before leaving the room they all kissed the hand of. the pontiff reverently, fear ing it was for the last time. MAY LIVE THREE DAYS YET. Dr. Maxzonl Says the Illness of the Pope Is Fall of Surprises. ROME, July 7. After the operation. Dr. Mazzonl said the danger remained immi nent, but the illness from which the popo was suffering was full of surprises. His holiness might even live three days longer. To the Associated f Press correspondent he said: "When one considers that the pope should be dead by this time, the unex pected may happen, and there Is still hope. His resisting so long and maintain ing perfect lucidity of mind means that notwithstanding the pneumonia, the af fection of the kidneys and the difficulty of breathing, there is no poisoning of the blood. "Between being at the point of death and. returning to what his holiness Is to night, there Is certainly such a difference as to permit the most optimistic views. To properly understand the change which has taken place, it must be considered that yesterday the conviction was so sure that he would die during the night that. notwithstanding the contrary opinion of Dr. Lapponl, those surrounding the pope insisted on tavlng extreme unction admin istered. "Evil tongues even insinuate that some members of Pope Leo's immediate circle counted on the bad effects that such a function was likely to produce on a weak ened organism, but the pope resisted splendidly. Indeed, he seems to have ac quired fresh strength. I do not dare to say anything positive. It Is very easy to be deceived, especially in the presence of such marvelous resistance. I merely venture the impression that there is a probability that the pdpe will die, .but I do not believe death will occur yet" UNDER THE SURGEON'S KNIFE. Fopc Sahmitx to Operation "Without a. Tremor, Sitting? Up AH the Time. ROME, July 7. The marvelous vitality and recuperating energy of the pope were never so forcibly demonstrated as by the series of the events preceding; accom panying and following today's operation. since this morning, wnen nrst lniormea that the operation -would perhaps be had, his' holiness began Inquiring about it. Turning to Dr. Lapponl with his usual familiarity, he asked: "Will it bo painful? Remember, I can not stand much pain.' Instead of Dr. Lapponl. Dr. Mazzonl replied: "I can assure your holiness that you. will feel no pain. A little cocaine will. deaden all sensation." Pope Leo retorted -at once: "Remem ber," you said the same thing when you extracted that cyst a few years ago." 'Dr. Mazzonl replied: "That operation went very well, but this can hardly be called an operation." The, pope then concluded: "Then do whatever you think besu" . His Valet the Only Outsider. When the operation took place, nobody was allowed in the rooms besides the doc tors except Leo's valet, Plo Centra, Even his nephew. Count Camlllo Peed, left the room to await with extreme anxiety in an adjoining hall the result. The doc tors, desiring a strong light, had the, win dow widely opened, but as It faces the bed the light offended the weak eyes of the pontiff, so it was thought desirable that he should reverse his position. As soon as this was announced, the pope moved, showing that spirit of action and determination which seems constantly to inspire him. Dr. Mazzonl, however, did not give him time to leave the bed, but. taking him in his arms, literally turned the pontiff about. Pope Leo smiled and explalmed: "Bravo, Professor. I congratulate you. Although I have become so light. I must still be rather heavy-'" But the doctors laughed, and were at the same time as tonished at the brightness of the pontiff when oppressed byasuch a dangerous Ill ness and on the point of undergoing a surgical operation. SitH Up In lied Jnrlng Opcrntion. Pope Leo remained sitting up In bed during the whole time of the operation without need of support When Dr. Maz zonl substituted the pravaz needle with a potaln aspirator, the pope did not even notice it, going through the whole affair without emitting the slightest sound, and without showing any feeling of pain. He was extremely pale, almost dlaphanos and somewhat tremulous. As soon as the operation was closed, his holiness felt much relieved. His eye, from an expres sion of languid melancholy, assumed Its usual ylvacltivlllunilnating the emaciated rJace.Dr.i.raxonia once administered a coraiat, wiucn me ponun iook will ingly, thanking him with a grateful look for the brave struggle to preserve his life. He afterward expressed a desire to see the liquid which had been extracted from his thorax. Both doctors assured him that his wish would be gratified later. The pontiff then asked for a minute ex planation used In the operation. "It is a most ingenious Instrument," he? said, "but your hand Is also so very clever. That Is why the operation was successful In not giving me any pain. I thank you." After half an hour's peaceful and ap parently refreshing repose, the popo awoke and Inquired about the doctors. On hearing they were in the next room, he said: "I thought they had gone. What do they stay here for? What are they plot ting?" . Dr. Lapponl, re-entering the room, said: "We were preparlngbullet!ns re garding the operation, saying It was suc cessful In all respects." JDr. Mazzonl added: "We must Inform the public which Is waiting with such trepidation," especially as it is so easy to have inexact news spread." Asks to See Ilalletlns. "Very well." replied his holiness. ."I (Concluded on Page 4.) FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE CARDINAL GIRALMO MARIA GOTTI, PREFECT OF THE PROPA . . , . GANDA. LEADS fill PORTS Portland's Record for Lumber Shipments. HALF YEAR'S TRAFFIC 165,000,000 Feet by Rail and Ocean, FOREIGN TRADE INCREASE Seventy-six Cargoes Dis patched Since January 1. LOCAL DEMAND ALSO HEAVY Portland Mills Have Sold 200,000,000 Feet in Past Six Months Outlook; .for Larger Business for Last Half of the Year. Portland lumber manufacturers for the first six months of the current year have shipped more lumber than has been ' shipped from any other port in the world. Since January 1, 1903, there has been shipped from this city, foreign nnd coast wise by water, and by rail East and South, over 165,000.000 feet of lumber. This vast amount "was sent out from Portland alone, and does not Include shipments by , water from St Helens, Rainier, Westport, Astoria, Knappton Vancouver and other Columbia River points. During this pe riod there has been a very heavy local demand, conservative estimates placing it j'at 250.000 feet per day. From this it is apparent that the Portland mills have cut -fqr sbipnrcntjanrT locaKclenyjrid. wince- Jan- uary 1 over 200,000,000 feet of lumber. The rail trade Is a natural accompaniment of TWO CARDINALS CLASH. PARIS. July 8. According to a dis patch from Rome to the Echo de Paris. Cardinal Oreglla has ordered the apartments In the Vatican, which are occupied by the camerllngo.ywhlch post he himself holds during an interreg num, to be prepared. Cardinal Rampolla, on learning of this, declared the action not to be de cent while the pope was still living. The Incident, says the dispatch, has caused much comment. the cargo trade, and accordingly has ex panded as the water shipments have in creased. The shipments by rail for the six months were 109,000,000 feet, and of the 56, 000,000 feet shipped by water 31,000.000 feet were sent foreign and the remainder coastwise. This ocean traffic was han dled by 24 vessels In the foreign trade and 52 coasters, the average foreign shipment being 1,250,000 feet, while the coasters av eraged about 500.000 feet. The largest for eign cargo was taken out by the steam-, ship Elm Branch, which sailed for the Orient with 2,706.000 feet The steamers FOR THE PAPAL THRONE Ellerlc, Elm Branch and Pak Ling also carried cargoes in excess of 2.000,000 feet The largest shipments for any single month were In May, when 6.141,000 feet were shipped foreign and 5,200,000 feet to domestic- ports. The fleet clearing for foreign ports and the cargo carried was as follows: Vessel and destination Feet. Kick, Algoa Bay 565,000 Ellerlc. .Manila 2,450.000 Mary Wlnkloman, Samoa 543,000 Sarmar.

Port Arthur 2,555.000 Total . 31.301.G00 The Hong Kong shipments were sent forward on the regular liners as part cargoes, and the Pak Ling also went to the Orient with part cargo, filling up her space with Government freight. The oth er vessels all carried complete cargoes. While the showing made for the first six months of the year is far and away the best on record, it is almost certain that the remaining six months of the year will show an even greater gain. Tonnage al ready In the river and under charter for July lumber loading has a capacity of nearly 10,000,000 feet, and the number of coasting cargoes which will be sent out In the next three monthswill be greater than in any corresponding period In the history of the port Rail shipments for the remainder of the year will be limited only by the car supply, and the capacity of the mills, as all of them are working up to the limit, with plenty of orders ahead. This remarkable activity in the lumber business In this city has removed all of the usual midsummer dullness from the waterfront, and there are nearly as many men employed loading the lumber vessels as are usually engaged In loading wheat ships in the height of the grain season. The big demand for lumber makes a cor responding demand for logs, and every towboat on the river is kept moving night and day to keep the mills supplied. While the figures for the first six months of the year, as presented here, represent only the actual business handled by the Port land mills, this city secures a direct ben efit from the traffic handled by a number of mills along the lower Columbia. The lumber fleet now In port loading consists of the steamships Stanley Dollar and Oakley, British ships Agnes Oswald and Glencalrn, barkentlnes John Palmer, Willie R. Hume and Chehalls and the steamer Aurella, In addition to these the steamship Oriental liner Indrapura is loading nearly 1.000,000 feet for Hong -Kong.maklngtbe Jtotal capacity of the lumber fleet' In' port over 10.000.000 feet. There Is now en route for Portland under charter a dozen good-sized lumber vessels, headed by the British steamship Totten ham, a vessel with a capacity of 3,000,000 feet Other la the fleet are the Amazon, America. Andy Mahony. Advent, Blyths wood. David Evans. Ethel Zane, Katie Fllcklnger, John A.. Jennie, Stella and Mabel Gale, the combined carrying ca pacity of the fleet being In excess of 11, 000.000 feet. With such an Increase as has already been shown In Portland's lumber output for the first half of the year. It is a certainty that the output of the en tire state for 1903 will be far In excess of 1.000.000.000 feet. CONTEXTS OF TODAY'S PAPER. Illness of the Pope.
