Mother ofthe President Paralyzed.

MOtner OIL Tic IfcSlQcIlL IdIAiJ LCU'
CANTON, O., Dec. Mrs. Nancy
Allison Mckinley, mother of the Presi-
dent, was stricken with paralysis this
morning, and it it is feared that her
death is only question ola short time.
The paralysis at present is Of but a
mild form, but owing to her extreme
age, nearly SO years, DIR. Phillips, the at
tending physician, can give but little
hope to the family. Mr.. Abner Nc
Kinley, of New York, has been visiting
her for few days, and, when his mother
was stricken the morning, Immediately
communicated with the President by
telephone. The latter asked il he had
best start at once, to which Mr.. Abner
Mckinley replied that he had best
wait further report from the physic-
ian, who would make call in time to
advise by l o'clock. The physicians
statement to the family was that there
was little doubt that the attack would
ultimately result in death. but that
there was no indication yet as
to just when the end might
come. The end, he said, might be
in short time or it might be in
week. or even longer interval. Mrs.
Mckinley for some time has not been
in good health, having suffered from
mild form of grip with which she has
been afflicted and she was able to be
up and about the house. Except in the
failure of the vocal organs. Mrs. McKin-
ley shows but little evidence of the
paralysis. She is in full possession of
her mental faculties. A letter was re-
ceived from the President this morning
and was read to her by Miss Helen
Mckinley, who inquired if she under
stood the letter To this Mrs McKin.
ley nodded her assent. Her physical
powers up to noon were but little
affected by the paralysis. She was able
to walk to her daughters room before
her illness was known and since seems
able to handle herself almost as we'll as
