THE FAMILY HAVE LITrLn HOPE
The Presidents family take no Encourage
ment from the bulletins, AID such OF them ms
have shown themselves this morning mike no
effort TO conceal their great alarm at the si,ua-
ton. The physicians advise them TO hope
for the best. but offer no real encouragement.
They admit that they are uncertain 10 the
result and have, so il IL said, quietly intimated
to the President the strong probability OF
fatal result.
The President is a most faithful companion
and rarely leaves Mrs. Harrisons bedside. In
fact. he really shares the nursing Of the invalid
with professional attendant. Mr.. Russell
Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, the Pres
; ;aeh' son ana daughter; are also

disease took dangerous turn' He arrived
here this morning Mrs. Russell Harrison will
probably also be here in a dav or two. Mrs.
Dimmick and Mira Parker, niece of Mrs. Har-
rison, and Lieut.. Parker accompanied Mrs.
Harrison here and have ever since been unre-
vvattH sv,x l.n,.
The Presidents grandchildren, Bonnie and
Mary Mckee, are with their mother but are
purposely kept in ignorance of the true stu
alton. Private Secretary Halford is still here
and will remain with the President until he goes
to Washington All hope for the best but all
are palpably discouraged.

next few days, OF which there is very little
prospec: at present. the President will not re-
turn to Washington in time for the a. A r.
encampment next week. il, indeed, he is not
detained here for several weeks beyond that
period.
In the words of Lieut. Parker this morning.
THE President will remain with Mrs Uarrispn
until she gets better. and has no other nians
whatever"
1t is therefore apparent that his stay here and
his future movements are altogether contingent
ana indefinite.
