After the. visit of the physicians the Pope received Cardinal Kamollu, who remained In the sick room only a few minutes. He 'again gave the Pontiff full report of the prayers offered In his behalf all over the world. His Holiness raising both hands, said: "I bless all those who pray to Rod for me." In Vatican circles, there Is gosslpplng over the great reception given by Mon-slgnor Ajull, at Lisbon, to celebrate his elevation to the cardinal and also over the solemnity with which Cardinal Ag-llardl today took possession of his new office of vice-chancellor of the church. The Associated Press correspondent, however, learns that the IVipc himself In his last Interview with Cardinal Ag-llardl urged the performance of today's ceremony.

In sharp contrast with these ceremonies are the continuous preparations nt the Vatican for the death of the Pontiff: A huge spit, twelve feet long, which has been used for roasting food for the conclaves since the time of flrcgory XVI. was brought from an old store room today and will be employed to roast quarters of beef for the isolated cardinals while they are deliberating In the conclave over the election of the successor to Leo XTII.
