According to the mornir.g bulletin of the doctors. His Holiness showed improvement and gave indication that his strong con stitution would ultimately be able to overcome immediate danger. Information from another source, jowever, is that the Pontiff still is in * precarious condition, being ex tremely weak from lack of nourish ment and from the cough which ac companies attackv of bronchitis. In support of the latter report it is significant that Cardinal Oreglia has been notified to keep in readiness clay and night to respond to a call from the Vatican. At 10:30 o’clock this.morning (4:30 Atlanta time) the following bulletin was issued from Dr?. Marehiafava and Amici: Improvement is shown in the Pope’s catarrhal affection.

In spite of his emaciated and weak ened condition, the Pope secs humor in the constantly repeated warnings of the doctors and smiled as ho promised to obey to the best of his judgment. It was but IS hours ago that the ■i' lief was general that the Pope*? ours of life were numbered and the mazing rally that he has made, chiefly through his determination tu get well, lias aroused the wonder of the world. The fear has been communicated to Cardinal Merry Del Val papal sec: a 'ary of state, that the Pope may di< suddenly.

Dnce his heart became so weak that he was awakened so that oil of * nmphor might be injected. As soon hh bf awoke this morning and had partaken of a cup of weak gruel, he immediately asked to be allowed to fit up. Both Dr. Marehiafava and Amici protested emphatically against this.

LONDON, April 18.—Militant suf fragettes to-day took possession of the Famous Billingsgate Monument in the fish market district of Lon don, just south of London Bridge, and fur several hours rained suffrage literature and missiles upon the crowds beneath. Jt stopped all tram, vehicle and foot traffic in the streets. The women alternated their can nonade of pamphlets with screams of “Votes for women!” and “Victory or death!” while the fish venders in the streets below, enraged at the tie-up of business, replied in that kind of language which has made Billings gate famous the world over. Some of the fish merchants suf fered physical injuries. Flags of th<* suffrage colors, car rying all manner of inscriptions, were hoisted on top of the monument. Police Storm Stairway. By making a concerted attack, po licemen managed to storm the nar row stairway leading to the top of the monument, but there another dif ficulty beset them. Two men refused to descend the steps, and one woman declared she would commit suicide by hurling herself from the top of the tower if any policeman laid hands or, her. Finding peacable means inef fectual. the officers made a sudden rush, each grabbing a woman. The scene then became one of the wild est confusion. Shrieking, biting, kicking and struggling, the women were laboriously carried down the stairway to the street. Women Bite Officers. In their rage the women scratched the policemen’s faces and bit their hands. Each officer bore the ear marks that usually follow a scrim mage with the suffragettes. The v. om en. with hair down, dresses torn and hysterical from rage' and excitement, continued to make a demonstration i’.i the street, and bystanders hid to help the police overpower them. Three suffragettes still remained in the top of Ui.e monument at noon, but the police were preparing for an other assault. If this failed, they said they would lay siege to the mon ument. 83 at U. S.

Before court con vened to-day she said: "There is no doubt of my acquit tal. i am innocent and expect to prove this. I do not want the case postponed or nolle pressed. 1 want the trial to go on. so that I may be vindicated in the eyes of the world. I shall go fief ore the jury firm in the conviction that after they hear all that the State can bring against me they wilt feel that I have committed no crime, and will bring In a verdict in my favor.” •Mrs. Flanders i in a very cheer ful mood. If she lias any misgivings about the outcome of the trial, she carefully conceals her anxiety. In appearance she is not unlike hundreds of other women of her ago in rural Georgia, and she will no doubt make a good impression before the jury. Whether she is to go upon the stand in her own defense has not j 7 et been determined. Stopping With Relative.
