M'KINLEY MUCH BETTER,
But VIII Not BE Able to See Visitors
for Some Days.

CANTON, O., Feb. 16.-President-
elect Mckinley is kept in bed by his
attack Of influenza, which is epidemic
here. 1t is not believed he will be able
to take his contemplated trip to Cleve-
land tomorrow. Mrs. Mckinley is also
confined to her room, but is expected to
be able to be out tomorrow. 1t is not
thought Maj. Mckinley will be able to
receive callers for several days. Pri-
waite Secretary James Boyle said this
morning that it had been his practice
to make acknowledgment of all ap-
pI1catiOnS for office, as of all other COM
munications, but the applications are
now coming in such a deluge that it
Will be impossible for him to make the
customary acknowledgements and
that all he can do is simply to file
applications in their respective depart
ments.
AT 2:30 p. m. DR.. T. H. Phillips, the
attending physician of the president
elect, said: Maj. Mckinley is better
today, but is still unable to see any
visitors whatever. He must remain
quiet for several days and may not be
able to go to Cleveland until the latter
part OF tie week. He is still in bed,
but the rest he has received during
the past two days has been very bene-
f1cial''
DR.; Phillips, at $50 tonight said: "Gov.
MCKINLEY Is doing nicely. He is getting along
very satisfactorily. He has been able to sit
UP. part of the day and is quite comfort
able tonight. He will be able to be about in
several days, but will not be able to see
callers this week. He may be able to go to
Cleveland the latter part of the week if his
condition continues favorable"
Chairman Hanna came down from Cleveland
this evening and is guest at the Mckinley
home tonight His call has in it no politi-
cal significance, as he states he merely came
to see the major as a mark of personal esteem

RATES TO CARSON.
independent Action VIII Be Needed
-'+-'- to Bring Them Down. e@sa.fr,-

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Another proposition for
rates to the Nevada fight has been made to
the Western roads. This latest proposition
provides for a rate Of one and one-fifth fare
from all points in the territory of the West
ern Passenger association to Ogden, and from
there the rate of $35 made by the Southern
Pacific will be in force. This would make the
rate from Chicago to Carson City $50 So
There is not much chance at present that
this rate will be made. as the Western roads
rules are against making any very low rate
for the fight. The general opinion among the
roads is that there will be no low rate made
from the territory of the Western Passenger
association, unles some enc of the roads takes
independent action in the matter. There is
every probability that more of the
roads will take the Independent action, how
ever.
