THoMAsvILLE. Ca, March 26.-
President McKinlcy's fortnight vaca-
ton in the south is nearing its end. On
Monday morning he will leave Thomas

Will be no stops between Townsville
and the capital, and the party Will ar
rive Tuesday forenoon.
Vice President ard Mrs. Hobart and
the Hanna family will tarry here a fort

party who has not been benefited by the
orief stay in this health-laden atmos-
phere. is Vice President Hobart He
came suffering with grip, superlnduced
by an acute bronchial trouble. He Is
not in better shape than when he left
Washington. To-day he Is forced to re-
main in bed. While Mr.. Hooarts ILL
ness Is not serious. It is of such a ma
ture as to demand careful treatment,
else it may take vital turn.
The President is In much better con-
dition, both physically and mentally,
than when he came away from Wash
ington nearly two weeks ago. That he
came near being . sick man in Wash
.lngtoa is no secret. For time his
friends were alarmed lest he should
break down. President Mckinley wilt
leave Townsville feeling that his visit
TO the south has been profitable. He
believes he has taken on new lease OF
life By his stay among the pines Eis
eyes are bright and he walks with an
elasticity OF step which would attract
an athlete. In short. he looks and feels
well man. Mrs. Mckinley, likewise,
has improved by the southern trip.

President IS troubled with insomnia,
