Mosart, as the dog is called. is an English
sheep dog, and is 8 years old. 1t was given to
Gross by his brother-in-law. who brought 1t from
Russia. Gross at once started to teach It tricks,
as the dog showed unusual intelligence. The
dog went TO market each morning with a basket
between Its teeth. On arriving at the butchers
shop 1t would deposit the basket upon the coun.
ter. The butcher filled the basket according
to the list which he found in 1t, and
then returned II to Mosart, who would return
proudly homo with tho burden. 1t was not an
unusual thing to see the dog sitting unconcern-
edly before the laundry with a corncob pipe
entered in the twentieth annual show OF the
Westminster Kennel Club held at Madison
Square Garden last year, and won q first prize
In the class of English sheep dogs. Prof.
Burton. the celebrated trainer of performing

ATLANTA. Ca, Dec. 5.-The anti.footbau bill,
whose swift passage through the Legislature
excited tho attention of tho entire country.
will DO vetoed by Gov. Atkinson. This action
on the part Of tho Chief Executive IL largely
due to the influence of Mrs. Cannon, mother
OF the student who was killed on the gridiron
here a few weeks ago. Young Gammon's
death was practically responsible for tho pas
sage Of tho bill. AT the time of Its passage It

pie began to realize tho unwise haste with
which tho measure had been drafted and voted

1t is believed, however. that the Governor

have made 1t a law had 1t not been for the in

CANTON, Dec. 6.-There remains Q faint hope
that President McKinley's mother may live
until his return from Washington. She clings
tcnaciously to life. and. after complete uncon.
seriousness for nearly four days. she is In almost
the same condition as for the last fortY.eight
hours. She is weaker. Of course, since the dis
ease carly resolved itself into q wasting process,

physician saw the patient q number Of times to-
day. and tonight said he could not report any
material change. She seems to be failing at no
moro rapid rate than she has for two days. As
to the probability Of her surviving the night, he
said it was possible that she would do SO: in
deed. no would expect her to, unless there was .
sudden change in her condition.

tho present comatose condition. which will give
way only to the sleep of death. There will DO

nc final struggle"
Mrs. Mckinley has taken no nourishment
since Thursday. It could not be administered
except by heroic measures. and these were not
deemed advisable, since there was no hope Of re-
covery. The members of the family watched al
the bedside every minute Of the day, and
thought she had been failing more rapidly than
heretofore. She had several sinking spells
similar to that which was mistaken yesterday
for n second stroke of paralysis.
The attacks to-day generally lasted about half
an hour and during them respiration was much
more labored and the pulse was weak. Tho
most serious of these attacks occurred about tho
middle of the afternoon and continued for
several hours. At times the body seemed to be
entirely inanimate and the watchers thought
all was over. Finally the attack. Ike the others.
passed AWAY and left the patient much the
same as before It. occurred.
President Mckinley WAS NJ advised of even the
slightest details. A wire has been constantly
connected with the White House ever since he
arrived there. and kilograms were sent to him
at short Intervals. He also had several talks
by telephone with his brother Abner. All day
long solicitous friends were softly knock
ing at the front door Of the house to inquire
after the condition Of tho patient. and tele-
Rrn phic inquiries continued to be numerous.
Only one answer could be given to all, and that
was that tie end was steadily approaching and
that the patient was slowly wasting away.
After his last visit tonight. Mrs. McKinley's
physician said she was growing weak moro
rapidly and he feared she would not live till
morning.

yesterday on tho Oriental steamer. He says
that his country has by no means abandoned the
position which It assumed regarding the pro

declares that the recent dispatches that Japan
has withdrawn her objection to the annexation

"The protest which I presented to Secretary
Sherman remains in effect" he said. Tho at
titude I assumed and my letter to Mr.. Sherman
have met with tho entire approval of the Japan
csc Government, and I have returned to this
country with instructions which require me to
secure O settlement Of tho differences now ex-
listing.
"Under certain conditions Japan would not
object to the annexation OF Hawaii by the
United States. We expect, however. that these
conditions will meet with the favorable consid-
Grafton of the United States before any further

extensive interests in the islands. II the United
States will take these interests into considera-
