OF his faculties during yesterday. At 4:3o in
the afternoon another consultation was held
by the physicians, and as a result they An
nounced that the Secretary was holding his
own, and that no change either for better or
worse had taken place in his condition. This
state OF affairs continued during the evening,
ana at midnight DIR. Lincoln, who had then
been with the Secretary for two hours, said to
a reporter: at will be several DAYS vet before
all danger is passed and several weeks before
he can safely resume work" The Secretarys
iamliy are considerably alarmed about his con-
dition, and his son, Mr.. James H. Manning. of
the Albany argus. arrived from Albany last
night, ana Will remain with his father until his
recovery is assured.
THE POINT OF DANGER PASSED.
Assistant Secretary Fairchiid said this morn
Ing that Secretary Mannng's condition is
much improved. He had q good nights rest,
ana was SO much stronger and brighter this
morning that his friends are encouraged in the
belief that the worst is over, particularly as
DIR. Lincoln says the crisis in such cases usually
occurs within the first thirty-six hours. Mrs
manning IeeiS encouraged, Mr.. Fairchild said,
as DR.. Lincoln had informed her that he con-
sldered the point of danger past, and that he

The condition of the Secretary at Il a. m, re-
ported by DIR. Lincoln, is rather more hopeful
than at any time since his attack. lie rested
fairly Well last night, waking only at rather
long intervals.
BREATHING WITH MORE EASE.

man." he continued, "and we cap only hope,

long vacation, perhaps in Florida. He needs

upon his taking it,
WHAT DIR. HAMILTON SAYS.
DR.. Hamilton was seen by STAR reporter at
1 O'clock and in answer to questions stated
that Secretary Manning was not any worse

We're no more alarming symptoms.

Mr.. Manning's private secretary. Mr.. Bren-
nan, saw the Secretary this morning, and re-
ported at the Treasury department that he was
resting quietly, and was progressing As soon
as possible Secretary Manning will be removed
rom Washington. He will not be able to return
10 the treasury department tor at least month
under any circumstances.
ANOTHER CONSULTATION OF PHYSICIANS
Inc physicians, LrS. Lincoln and Hamilton,
held consultation this morning, resulting i'm
decision that the patient was worse than
yesterday. They will hold another consulta-
ton this afternoon.
In the absence of any definite information
regarding the Secretarys condition, the fact
that frequent consultations are necessary leads
to the general impression that the Secretary's
condltlon is still very precarious.
BETTER THIS AFTERNOON.
Upon visiting Secretary Mannings residence
this afternoon at two O'clock a STAR reporter
was told that the Secretary was resting quietly
and comfortably, and was in about the same
condition as when the physicians held a con-
sutatl0n this morning, at which time
they reported that he was somewhat better
than last evening. The Secretary had been
sleeping comfortably, but was then awake.
His mind was perfectly clear and he suffered
none, except from an occasional slight pain in
his side.
Ii severe attack is imminent nothing was
known of 1t at the house. The impression
formed from such reliable information as is
obtaihabie is that the Secretary is still a very
sick man, and although there are no indca-
lions OF another attack, still there is danger OF It,
AS long As there is no recurrence of the attack
there is every reason to expect his recovery,
although a long rest will be necessary.
Nominations To-day.
