The doctors' visit and the operation fol lowed. The dorctora, found the condi tion of the Pope not much changed. His temperature- was a little above 36 de grees and his pulse was oscillating be tween 85 and 80. The Pontiff ques tioned the doctors about his condition, saying: "Do not deceive me, doctors, nothing more can affect me." He asked If the; gathering of the serum In the pleural cavity means that the disease is growing, seriously worse and the doctors fenced, saying that It was one of the phases which generally re-occurs several times during an at tack.. . ? '.''. "Then," srtld the patient, "a new op eration Is necessary." "We will see," answered Lapponl, and Mazzonl added: "Your holiness knows that the operation ls-not dangerous in Itself." - . During the examination of -the-patient, the doctors, after a thorough sounding found that a pulmonary sound had reappeared In the obtuse zone, ex cept In. the area limited to the region where the puncture was made for the extrnctlyn of the liquid, which Is on a line drawn from the nipple of. the right breast, under the ortn lo the spinal col umn, the obtuse sound thus being be tween the sixth and eighth ribs.

After tho operation the Pope felt so relieved that he Insisted on getting up and tooK several steps toward his arm chair and sented himself for a few minutes. He then arose, and going baclc to tne dook shelves, where he keeps his favorite au thors, took down Horace's Ars Poetlca, returned to the arm chair and began rending, holding one leg over the other. He seemed to feel no 111 effects from the operation. Oit the contrary, he appear ed to have derived benefit from It. Later In the day, the Pope had lunch and then took a long rest. At 3:15 he was still enjoying a restful repose and showing no ill effects from the opera tion. The neighborhood of the Vatican was tranquil. At 4:20 nil was still quiet nt the vntlcan. No change of any sort was reported. Cardinal Rampolla did not venture Into the sick chamber but anx iously Inquired, frequently as to the con dition of the patient.

"It might have been expected," he wild, "that I would mid a weary old man with exhausted body and spirit, and ready to enter eternity.

He wore a calm, dignified smile and began ask Ing me a number of questions. It seem ed almost incomprehensible that this was a man on the vefrge of death.

That an dying man should be able to make such a prompt, decided effort of the will Is certainly astonishing. "The Pope asked me If I had rend certain essays uion medical pathology written by a student who took his de gree In 1824. "I was very young then,"sald th Pope, smiling, "but 1 remember many circumstances of that happy period of my life." "After hearing his question testing my studies nnd scientific ability, I as sure you I was almost ready to believu that some miracle was being wrought concerning the Popes condition.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Business again responds to Improved conditions. Retail distribution of mer chandise is accelerated by more season able weather and fewer labor contro versies, while wholesale and Jobbing trade, especially at the Interior, shows the encouraging effects ot brighter ag ricultural prospects. There Is the cus tomary excessive demami for farm hands. Reports of holiday traffic and holiday trade report no diminution In purchasing power, and semi-annual in vcntorie8 show more gratifying situa tion than expected. Tliere is less than the usual midsummer Idleness In manu facturlng except In the cotton Industry. Commodity prices advanced slightly during June, Dun's index number on July 1, being 199.456, compared with S08.G36 a month earlier. A decline of 2.4 per cent Is recorded In comparison with July, 1902, chiefly in articles-of food. Railway earnings for Jane are 1:1.1 per cent larger than last year, and 25.3 In excess of- 1901. Violent changes In quotations of raw material are never good for business In finished products so that as yet the cot ton goods manufacture shows no lm provement In response to fluctuations at the cotton exchanges.
