Successful observations were made at

Than at Any

So Completely Exhausted That
She Cannot Turn Her Head
Upon Her Pillow-Liable to Be
Taken Off Almost Any Hour By

More Comfortable Last Night.

WASHINGTON, October 20.-There has
been change for the worse in the condi-
tion of Mrs. Harrison and tonight she is
weaker than she has been at any time since
her illness began.
She is greatly exhausted and cannot turn
her head upon the pillow.
Her cough which had ceased to trouble
her is now said to have increased in vol
ume. This coming as it does in paroxysms
has very depressing and exhausting ef-
feet on the patient and tends to reduce her
vitality.
Mrs. Harrison passed comparatively
quiet day, and did not suffer so much from
nervousness. She experienced more diff
flculty than usual, however, in taking
nourishment, which she has heretofore
taken with systematic regularity.
Although she is in such weak state,
yet her physician said tonight he did not
apprehend any immediate fatal result and
thought it probable that by morning she
might rally and regain some OF her lost
strength.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. October 20.-At 10
o'clock Mrs Harrison had rallied somewhat
from her severe attack of prostration, and
Dr. Gardner said she was resting little

Mrs. Harrrison's condition is precarious

THE Washington state board of health
is awake to the necessity of a preventive
to the progress Of the present plague, and
met today in Tacoma to take such action
as is deemed essential. Other states have
already done the same thing, but from the
precautions taken in New York, where the
great number of immigrants are landed, it
is not likely that this country will suffer
from the pest. The state board OF Illinois

Only such vessels as bear immigrants will

A STUNNING BLOW.

Commissioner of Labor Peck, of New
York, is democrat. He holds his posi-
tion by appointment of David B. Hill,
lately governor of New York and Tamma-
ny's candidate for the presidency. In his
late report Mr.. Peck finds that in the
wholesale manufactures of this state the
wages paid for the year ending August 81.
1891, showed an increase over the wages
paid during the year ending August 81,
1890, of 1857, ,925.O9.
He finds that the net increase of produc-
tion in the same time was 31,315, ,13O68.
He finds that of67 industries investigated

production or both.
He finds that the number of individual

He finds that the average increase in the
wages of the entire 285, 900 employees repre-
sented was 1923. IL, while in 81 of the trades
represented the average increase in wages
per individual was 1896.
This is is not a very good campaign doc

first year of operation of the Mckinley
tariff, and the time with which the period
of increase is cOntrasted being the last year
of the operation of the old tariff. 1t is not
the kind of report that Mr.. Peck wanted to
make, for he himself said:
