NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-There was a gen.
eral impression about the Hotel Grenohle
at o'clock this afternoon that Mr.. Kip
ling's condition was worse than at any time
since he became ill., DR.. Janeway arrived
at the hotel at $3.50 O'clock D. M, and as he
was not expected until later in the after
noon it looked as if there had been sudden
change for the worse and that the physician
had been called. He remained in the hotel
half hour Almost at the same time an
oxygen tank was brought to the hotel and
taken up to the Kipling apartments on the
first floor. That the oxygen was to be adj
ministered was practically admitted by DIR.
Janeway. This is heroic treatment and is
resorted to only in extreme cases. Both
DR.. Janeway and DIR. Dunham were with
Mr. Kipling alternately through last night,
and both were in attendance on him early
in the morning. At 9:3O O'clock this morning
the following bulletin was issued:
'Rudyard Kipling remains in a critical
condition. The disease continues.
"E. G. JANEWAY, M. d.
THEODORE DUNHAM NJ. D."
Soon after 10 o'clock DR.. Janeway, jr., son
consultation concerning the critical condi-
ton of Mr.. Kipling. DR.. Dunham came
from the sick chamber soon after II o'clock.
His wife is sister of Mrs. Kipling.
us Mr.. Kipling suffering from pneu-
monia?" DR.. Dunham was asked.
1--WE will call it inflammation of the
lungs" he replied.
"If he gets through to-day will he be
safe?'
"If he gets through to-day he will be
much nearer to safety" said DR.. Durham.
At $3.50 o'clock the following bulletin was
posted: "Mr. Kipling still remains in very
critical condition.
"E. G. JANEWAY, NJ d.
THEODORE DUNHANI, NJ D."
Dr. Janeway would not tell anything
about Kipling's condition, saying that
there was nothing to add to the bulletin.
Il was learned, however. from other sources
that Kipling is extremely weak. At times
he recognizes those around him. Those at
the bedside are DR.. Dunham, Mrs. Kining,
her mother-Mrs. Balestier, Mr.. Doubleday,
the children and two nurses.
An order has been issued from the hotel
office that no letters or notes shall be sent
to the room unless they are of the utmost
Importance, and then only when the names
of the senders are known There is a con-
slant stream of visitors at the Grenoble
asking for information about the author.
One clerk is kept busy receiving cards.
Some of the callers were admitted this
morning to the sick chamber. Among the
favored few were: w. d. HowelIs Nikola
Tesla, S. S. Mcclure and Charles Battell
Loomis.
The following bulletin was issued at Z
O'Clock to-night

serious during this. the sixth day of the
disease, giving rise to the gravest appre-
hension for the outcome.

THEODORE DUNHANl"
At that hour the physicians were making
almost constant use OF oxygen. Their de-
meanor indicated a most critical stage Of
the disease Mr.. Kipnng was delrious

DR.. Janeway nor DR.. Dunham would say
word. In fact neither ventured from the
patients side for more than minute at a
time.

as at last report.
