from the start pointed strongly to him,

MRS. M'KINLEY'S HEALTH.

Ie IL Stated to He Such That the Presi.
dsnt's Projected Tr,rs Are Abandoned.
NEW YORK. June GA special to
The Herald from Washington says:
The state Of Mrs. McKinley's health
at this time is decidedly worse than it
has usually been since she has been in
the White House. and the probable re-
suit will be that the president will re-
main in Washington practically all
summer, and will take very little, if
any. vacation ont of this city.
President Mckinleys projected trip
to the Pacific coast. which has been
looked forward to in anticipation of en-
joymen, for himself and improvement
in Mrs. Nckinley's condition has been
definitely abandoned. His proposed
trip TO Minnesota has also been aban-
doned.
The unfavorable turn in Mrs. Mckin-
ley's condition is attributed partly to a
cold which she contracted just before
leaving Washington. She is never
strong and this cold seemed TO weaken
her 10 such an extent as TO make II ad'
visable TO avoid exertion which would
have been necessary had she remained
away "a long as had been intended.
II is TO, expected that Mrs. Mckin
lev will have to stay in the house. She
will be able TO drive about the city "a
heretofore. and ii is probable that sh'
