MOTHER M'KINLEYs CONDITION.
shows No Notable Change Except Grow-
ing Weakness.

Canton, o.. Dec. 13.-After a night OF
the greatest anxiety, eliminating in q
sinking spell at o'clock in the morning,
the children and other watching friends
at the bedside of Mother Mckinley
were hidden by the attending physician
to hope that the patient would survive
the day and possibly longer This hope
grows out of rally from the sinking
spell and the ability to take a little
nourishment. The doctor made another
examination at $3.50. He said Mrs. Nc
Kinley was in much the same condition
as the day before. and he felt that there
were strong reasons for hoping that she
is somewhat weaker than heretofore.
but that the wearing away by weakness
is by very slow degrees.
The fact that the patient has been
able to take so little nourishment has
given rise to the fear that death must
result from starvation, If from no other
cause, within a short time. Concerning
this phase of the case the doctor says
she shows no evidence of such a result.
Her muscles continue well-rounded and
she shows little traces Of emaciation.
She could, he thinks, survive from ten
to twenty days without food in the con-
ditions which have prevailed were there
no other causes for a different result.
He says 1t is a lack Of mental and ply
sical vitality and the lack Of founda-
ton on which to rebuild these which
occasion the steady sinking away.
