JOY AMIDST SORROW.
The President Again at His Dying
 Mothers Bedside.
ANOTHER MOST REMARKABLE RALLY.
The Devoted Son, In Sorrow Over the Knowledge That His Mother Must Go, Overjoyed to Once Again
 Receive Recognition.

CANTON, O.. Dec. s.-Once more the children of Nancy Allison Mckinley have met here about her couch, made sacred by her tenacious struggle against death. The reunion is com. ple1e. The president arrived before the death angel made his visit and took with him the spirit of the aged mother.
 With the children were other rela- lives, among whom was the aged sis ter of Mrs. Mckinley, Mrs. Abigail Os- borne, mother of Consul ". NJ. Os- borne.
 The scene was pathetic one. In the midst of it all there was joy un- speakable in the breast of the presi- dent. He had again been permitted to see his mother alive. He had answered all the obligations of his country. He had fulfilled his vows to his people. He had witnessed the assembling of congress and had been cheered with the news at the same time that his mother was better.
 In the little upper room of the Me Kinley homestead there was a scene almost too sacred for pen to describe. The eyes of all present were filled with tears as they witnessed the remark able and almost miraculous rally of the presidents mother from the uncon- scious state into which she had fallen early in the morning. As her son en. tered the room, accompanied by his wife and Miss Mabel Mckinley, the sister of the president, Miss Helen said: Mother here are William and Ida The president kneeled by her bedside, kissed his mother tender ly, reverently, and as he did so she put her arm about his neck and signified that she knew him. She also recog- nized the presidents wife, and reached her hand toward her. She recognized Mabel Mckinley and Jack Duncan.
 It seemed to friends that she had been awaiting the arrival of her son. Soon after she lapsed into an uncon- scious state, and the strength that had been husbanded for the last meeting of mother and son, seemed to leave her.
 Dr. Phillips, who was present at the time of the presidents arrival and the recognition, said that he had never known such recognition to occur in a case where the patient was as advanced in years. It is plain to the president, however, that despite the rallies she has had, his mother Il as been failing since he left.
