THE LATEST.
The Vice President continued very
restless until about daylight, notwith-
standing narcotics Were administered
every two hours. At about daybreak
he fell into quiet slumber, to the
great relief of his attendants, who had
apprehended the most serious results
if he did not get rest. He slept sound
ly and naturally till about half past | |
to-day, when he awoke feeling much
better. He said as much to DR.. BaX-
ter and asked him if he could not get
up to-day. The Doctor advised him
to keep as quiet as possible to-day and
he would soon be we'll again. The
pain had entirely ceased and he was
able to take some little nourishment
in the form of beef tea. During the
morning Mr.. Justice Clifford, of the
U. S. Supreme Court, Senator Morrill,,
Senator Cameron, ex-senator Fenton
and Chas. Richards, of the Massachu-
setts POaghman, Il personal friend,
called TO see the Vice President, ut IL
o'clock. This afternoon DR.. Baxter
said all the symptoms were favorable
and he believed his patient was out of
danger. At 1915 the President came
up to the capitol in his carriage and
was at once admitted 10 the Vice
Presidents room. AS the President
entered he removed his hat, and ex-
tending his hand shook that of the
Vice President, who partially raised
himself in bed. "How do you do, M.
Vice President?n inquired the Presi-
dent, adding, II am sorry to find you
ill; 1 just arrived from New York this
morning, and thought I would come
and see how you were getting along.n
The Vice President replied that he
was much better, and explained the
manner of his attack yesterday. The
President remained until 1925, con-
versing on different topics, when he
bade the Vice President goodbye, say
ing he hoped he would soon be well
again, and would be up or send up to-
night to find out how he was. The
Vice. President thanked him for his
visit and the President departed. Soon
after his departure Lord Houghton, of
England, saw the Vice-President for a
few minutes. About half-past twelve
DIR. Baxter left, leaving directions rs
to the treatment of his patient and
stating that if his services were needed
before evening he would come at once.
About half-past one the Vice President
was shaved, and at once dropped into
quiet sleep. While he was sleeping
Solicitor General Phillips, Senator
Paddock, Rev. Drs. Sunderland and
Rankin and Others called, but it was
deemed advisable that no one should
disturb him. At fifteen minutes to
three he was still sleeping soundly.
