Alcrming Features Noted by
: Doctors He Frequently
! Lapses Into Delirium
and Sees Shadows
. Fiit in the Room
: TVrre. July 14. 1-13 i. m. The pope's
onilttoti t.iay developed features
thich the doctors regarded as the most
larmi.ijc since his illness began. Their
.uJgment was based upon the patient's
liatin brief but recurring' spells of
ielirlum. Yesterday's hallucination
was rot considered of the same char
acter. th.it delirium being clearly the
efT-i of nerve prostration. Today's
aberrations, however, convinced the
do-tors that the disease had advanced
byr:. the r.erves and had affected
tho brain. During the period of delir
ium the patient's mind wandered and
he muttered incoherently. He Insisted
that shadows flitted about the room.
In his lucid moments the pope for the
first time showed a complete realiza
tion of the gravity of his condition.
He askei for the Franciscan benedic
tion, which was given by Cardinal
Vlves Y. Tula. He specially asXed to
e Cardinal Rampolla. to whom he
rr.ve what It was thought might be
An flnnl word.
Th increasing gravity of the sltua
!on iw-orr.lng generally known, the
Vatican wa beselged during the early
mcrr.lng by anxious visitors. Toward
rsoon n markel change was reported,
but Dr. Ipponl mad a brief visit to
his sick daughter. This led to the be
lief that th doctors did, not expect Im
mediate dissolution.
As the morning progressed the at
tacks of delirium became accentuated
both with regard to their length and
the shortness of the lucid Intervals.
His muttering during- delirium were
rot always Intelligible, but they seemed
to relate Jo the history of events of
rrany years ago. which, being un"
known to those present, neither Dr.
.Lapponl nor Centra succeeded In com
prehending. At times the pope seemed
to see again apparitions. "When his
Attendants tried to persuade him to
the cntry the pope Insisted on indi
cating the presence of some Imaginary
shadow. whLch he not only saw but
hard. He r-ld: "No. no. Don't you
s-e him?, resides he rattles the chairs
and other things 3 he moves."
It Is evident that the pope is maiing
a great effort and straining all his
nerves to maintain calmness and to
have his will triumph over his, mental
?akne?s. He succeeds occasionally,
but an attack of delirium follows this
ffort and each Is stronger than the
preceding. The resistance which his
f..ill. almost transparent, body offers
to disease is really marvelous.
Dr. lasxonl was nsfced Tor on expla
nation, and he said: "It Is a phenom
enon, which, as all such phenomena,
t;ir.nt be cxp:nHl.
The d-vtors consider the catastrophe

p!a-e through cardial paralysis, or Is
further of if It I to com through
t-Trai anaemic which Is the cause
of th present delirium.
Th-? poie. although feellnr that the
trul was really approaching, has taken
much trouble In riving his last In

AFFAIRS ON THE YALU
'
It is a Guess Whether There
Will Be Peace or War
Pekin. July 14. M. Lessar, the Rus
sian minister, returned today from Port
Arthur, where he went to attend a con
ference summoned by General Koru
patkin. Russian minister of war. Al
though Japanese -dispatches say. that
the conference decided upon 'a' peace
ful solution of the Manchurian ques
tion, there Is no enlightenment here
as to whether war or peace will result
In Manchuria.
The Yalu question is assuming great
er Importance, as the Coreans complain
that the Russians have threatened to
invest the east bank of the -Yalu with
troops if the town of W1J1 Is opened
to trade, as the Coreans want to open
It with China's consent. Russia has
only one policy for both banks of the
Yalu, which the Japanese regard as of
vital Importance. It Is understood
that Japan will regard further activity
In the construction of so-called com
mercial works at the mouth of the Yalu
river as a casus belli.

ly back to the station.; .He did not go

court that it was well-known that he

hot have friendly feelings for the peo
ple of Wilkes. He did", not see the ne

July term came at a time when judges
and lawyers wanted si vacation and
the November term conflicted with the
last week I of the Asheville court; that
if Congress would amend the act so
as to make the court - come at conve
nient times, so far as he was concerned
he would be glad to bold the court.
Judge Boyd said that, the report had
been circulated that lie .found the facts
upon which the decision In the Wilkes
bond suit was based; that this report
was without foundation the facts hav
ing been found before: he went upon
