NOT YET OUT OF DANGER.
When Drs. Lincoln and Hamilton stepped into
Secretary Manning's room at 10 clock this morn
ing, the Secretary stretched out his hand and
saluted them cheerfully. After remaining at his
bedside an hour. the two physicians took their
departure. Before leaving, DR.. Lincoln said to
an Associated Press repOrser There is really no
change in the Secretary's condition; he is hold
ing his own, and that Is about all that can be
said He at times complains OF head ache but
is to be expected; ii is of the results of the
trouble at the base of the brain"
"His pulse is rather variable" said DR.. Hamil-
ton, "hut not quite so much as yesterday"
He is not out of danger, understand me-" re-
marked DIR. Lincoln, land will not be for some
time yet, but we feel encouraged as time goes by;
time alone can solve the problem"
