Advised of the SltuatiOn-Family
Awaiting the End.

CANTON. Ohio, December Gas a result
OF the examination made by DIR. Phillips, 1t
was announced, at 1870. that Mrs. Nc
kinley was slightly improved. She took
some nourishment today, the first for four
days. The statement is authorized by the
doctor that the case has taken sucn turn
that she may survive the day or even until
tomorrow.
During nearly the entire n: ght the family
remained in the sick room, expecting every
moment to be the last. The patient had
number of the sinking spells, such as oc-
CURED during Sunday, and each one of
them as it approached was feared TO he the
last one. AS morning approached. how
ever, she quieted down materially and hope
became stror ger that life would continue
until morning.
President Was Notified.
AT an early hour the President was ad-
vised that his mother was still living, al
though considerably weaker than she had
been He was also informed that she was
resting easily and gradually passing away
without any suffering.
The doctor called early. and at o'clock
he announced that, while the patient was
was resting SO quietly then that she might
survive for some little time.
Since the doctors early morning visit
slight sinking spell and a slight rally were
experienced by Mrs. Mckinley. No ma
terial change resulted. and the rally left
the patient in the usual weak and failing
but restful condition characteristic of the
illness.
Patient Resting Quietly.
The attending physician at $40 O'Clock
said that she was then resting in the same
calm manner that had been characteristic
of her affection, save when the relapse
came. 1t was the opinion of the doctor
that his aged patient may survive during
the day. Immediately after the eKamina-
ton Mr.. Abner Mckinley FASTENED to a
long distance telephone nearby and talked
with the President, telling him of the re-
suit of the latest examination. She has
been resting well all morning and without
the least trace of pain.
