NATION THREE BULLETINS ISSUED
YESTERDAY.
It is to he feared that the condition OF Rud-
yard Kipng who is at the Hotel Grenoble,
Seventh-aye. and Fifty-slxth-st.. suffering from
inflammation Of the lungs is a good deal more
serious than his physicians have admitted This
is the only construction that can be placed on
the constant attendance at tse sick mans bed
side Of Dr. Dunham. and the frequent and long
consultations between Dr. Dunham and Dr.
Janeway. The bulletins issued yesterday were
not reassuring 1t was not specifically stated
that Mr. Kping was worse but the bulletins
were issued more frequently than before and 1t
was admitted early in the day that the patients s
left lung. as we'll as the right was affected.
Mr.. Kipling passed Thursday night comfort
ably. There had been a consultation between
the physicians as late as II o'clock. After this
was over DR.. Janeway returned 70 his
home promising TO be at the hotel again
hv s o'clock in the morning, while Dr.
Durban remained at the Grenoble. Early
on Thursday he rented apartments in the
hotel taking Room No. II. which is as near as
nossible TO those occupied by Mr.. Kiphng ana
his family. in order TO be within easy reacn IN
case 2 sudden change occurred This Is an an
dittonal evidence that Mr. Kplings c0n1iloh
-,as more serious than the doctors admitted
Dr Durham was not called in the night put
he was At his patients bedside at I o'clock yes
,ardav morning. He made a superficial exam
nation and pronounced Mr. Kipling's conal-
tion TO be about the same. When, on DR.. Jane
ways arrival at o'clock, however, thoroueh
examination was made. it was found that the
left lung was also affected, and at . O'CLOCK
this bulletin Issued:
Nine a. NM Kipllng passed comfortable
night The lower part OF his left lung IS now
son 'ayhat involved but his general condltlon
IS not worse. Another buletln w, MI De iS7"e-

Even At that early hour there had been an
enormous number Of inquiries at the hotel, ana
many persons had collected in the corridors
waiting for the bulletin. 1t was evident that
most Of those who saw the physicians state
ment believed that Mr.. Kipling must be worse
The announcement that there would be another
bulletin at $50 o'clock seemed specially ON
inous. as no bulletin was issued on Thursday
afternoon. When the afternoon bulletin ap-
reared nothing further was to be gathered from
it. II was as follows:
Three o. m-There has been no material
change in Mr. Kiplng's condition since morn
mo f. G.. JANEWAY.

Dr Durham declared at this time that the
bulletin accurately described the state OF az
fairs. Later on Mr. Kipling was declared to be
resting easy. It had been expected that
third bulletin would be issued in the evening"
but ncne appeared, and this was taken 10 mean
that there had been. a, any rate. no marked
change for the worse.
Il is 5.oba hle that unless AIr. Kipling becomes
much better ruicl'v the doctors viii have two
patient on their naHds Instead or one MI
KIpling has steadily refused 70 leave her nus
bands bedside in order 10 take the necessary
rest. and she is said to be showing In marked
v-av the effects Of the strain. There are now
two trained nurses in attendance instead OF
one but the fact that the patient is in the best
possible hands does not alter Mrs. Ripping ue-
termination 70 stay with him Mr.. Kipling has
been conscious almost all the time Indeed one
or tyyo close friends were allowed to see him on
Wednesday and Thursday. But yesterday no
visitors were allowed in his room, and the doc
tors even forbade those attending to him to tell
hin, tho names of those who called This IS a
stfu further evidence, II any were needed, Of his
critical condition
mr. Drnbarn told a Tribune reporter last even
tho ,bst both he and DR.. Janeway expect the
creis to-day. 1t is probable that there VIII De
q marked change for the better or worse Vhen
What ia feared Is that the illness may develop
into acute pneumonia, and both the physicians
are afraid that Mr.. Kipling cannot escape 'he
