LOON LAKE HOUSE, n. Y, september IA.
The best that can De said OF Mrs. Harrl-
sons condition tonight is that 1t is no
worse than it was this morning when the
bulletin was issued. She rested quietly
during the day and had several short maps,
which failed, however, to refresh her TO
any noticeable extent.
She seems to suffer principally from ex-
haustion. Her physicians see to 1t that
she has as much relief as possible from
physical pain and employ every known
method to cheer her up 1t is gratifying
that no more unfavorable symptoms man
ifested themselves to-day.
All the patients friends now realize that
any new complication will be attended with
the greater danger. Mr.. Harrison's vital
ity is at a very low ebb indeed, and cannot
successfully resist further inroads.
She has now been confined to her ped
since last Wednesday, and has gradually
declined in strength. This condition is
partly due to the two operations rendered
necessary by the accumulation or fluid In
the chest cavity. The first operation took
place on Friday last, and the second on
Monday of this week.
1t is feared that still another will be
necessary in day or two. These opera
tions. however, afford only temporary re-
lief. They are usually followed oy sense
of exhaustion and depression. Mrs Har-
rison has stood them both very well and
that has been one OF the favorable features
of the case during the past week.
At9p. m. Dr. Gardner concluded an ex-
animation of Mrs. Harrison. He express
ed himself to the family as being some
what encouraged at her condition. DR..
Gardner said positively thet no operation
had been performed to-day and that none
would be performed tonight, but farther
+h., no 40 did not care IN saw
The President received several kilograms
tonight from personal friends expressing
sympathy for Mrs. Harrison and asking
for information as 10 her condition.
Al midnight, taere had been no material
change in Mrs Harrlson's condition since
Dr. Gardner made his last examination at
9oclOck. 4 representative OF the Assocla-
ted Press visited the house tonight and
found that the physician and ali the mem
0ers of the household excepting the nurse
at Mrs. Harrison's bedside had retired for
the night and that she was resting quietly.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September IA DR.
Hamilton, who is n--snargr af Camp Low
en- Sandy Hook, now being prepared as
place Of detention for passengers from
cholera infected vessels, reported 10 the
Treasury Department to-day that the work
of preparation has been delayed by storm
but that it has been resumed and the camp
will be ready for occupation next Friday.
To make the situation even more grave,
there came an official report from the Ma

mad arrived at New Orleans to-day with
four cases of the other dreaded scourge,

tank steamer Heliogoland which left Ham
burg for this port August 29 at time
when cholera was raging furious. The

New YORK, September 14.-Sanitary
SUPERINTENDENT Edson aaid to-day that
there was no danger Of cholera becoming
epidemic There would be sporadic cases,
he said, for at least sixty days, until real
cold We her sets in, which would have the
effect of stamping out the disease.
DR. Edson said the infection which
caused cholera to break out here must have
come through some quarantine. II may
have been caused by some infected bag
gage or clothing, or some passenger who
came ashore may have communicated the
germ. The source OF infection is being in
vestigated very carefully.
Loon LAKE, n. y, September IA
Doctors Z. +. Gardiner, OF Washington;
f. z. Doughty, Of New York; and E.
L. Trudeau, OF Saranac, had a consul
tation at the Presidents cottage this
morning in regard to the case OF Mrs.
Harrison, and at its close issued the
following statement OF her condition:
primary disease, tuberculosis OF
right side, associated with nervous
prostration: recent complication, sub
acute peurisy, with rapid efOsion OF
water in the right chest, necesSitating
two tappings, with some relief. Present
condition critical. on account of ten
dency TO reproduction Of fluid. Re-
moval TO Washington at present imDos-
sible. PrOgnostication as 10 immediate
future uncertain"
The Presidents family take no en-
couragement from the bulletins, and
such of them as have shown themselves
this morning make 10 effort 10 conceal
their great alarm at the situation. The
uhvsicians advice them to hope for the
hest. but offer no real encouragement.
They admit that they are uncertain as
10 the result, and have so, IL IS said,
oujetIy intimated to the President the
strong probability OF a fatal result. The
President is most faithful companion
and rarely leaves Mrs. Harrison's bed
side. In fact be really shares In the
nursing OF the invalid. Mr.. Russell
Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, the Presi-
dents son and daughter, are also in
constant attendance. The former was
summoned from New York as soon as
the disease took dangerous turn. he
arrived here this morning.
Mrs. Russell Harrison will probably
also be here in day or two. The Pres
ident's grandchildren B mia and Mary
Mckee are with their mother, but are
kent ignorant OF the true situation.
In the words OF Lieutenant Parker,
this morning: 1.-The President will re-
main with Mrs. Harrison until she gets
better. and has no other plans what
