Mrs. Mckinley Dying.

CANTON, O., Dec. 9Th morning
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley was re-
ported sinking rapidly and the end ap-
peared near. At S:55 the President
reached Canton. His modher was still
alive. Upon his arrival at the home OF
his mother President Mckinley entered
the sick room and knelt by the bedside.
She was unconscious. The little family
was complete. All that now remained
was to wait for death and to hope be-
fore it came the mother would be able,
once more, to recognize her chill
dreD. There was no encouragement
given the family by the attending
physician, DR.. Phillips, who serious.
ly doubted that the patient would re-
viye. He feared the end was very near
at hand, but said there was a possibil-
ity of her lingering for several days.
President Mckinley believes his
mother recognized him SIS he knelt at
her bedside when he arrived this morn
ing. His sister Helen announced his
arrival by saying "Here, mother, is
William; if you recognize him hold up
your hand.n Mre. Mckinley did
raise her left hand slightly and the
family believe it was in recognition OF
her devoted son. He grasped her hand
firmly and says he seemed to feel a
slight pressure from the mothers effort
to return his greeting, but the pressure
was almost imperceptable and was
possibly imaginary. The present plans
of the President are to remain here
until 2 o'clock tomorrow, when he will
return to Washington to look after
some official cares.
At - o'clock DR.. Phillips visited the
patient. There is no great change
in Mother McKinley's condition." he
said. "She is gradually sinking away
and the end may come in few hours
it is barely possible that she may sur
vive several days."

as significant of important movements
