ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. N.-The fore
noon and early afternoon are Senator
Daviss most comfortable hours and during
those hours to-day he slept almost con-
tinually. At noon his temperature was nor
NAL. but his pulse and respiration were so
high to indicate fully the advance Of
the disease. This is combined with delir-
ium that manifests itself almost continually
during Senator Daviss waking hours. The
attending physicians have frequently been
quoted within the past few days by Sena-
tor Davis's intimate friends saying that
they entertained no hope whatever OF his
recovery. While no official statement TO this
effect has been made, the unofficial reports
have gained wide credence and have tended
to increase the anxiety OF Senator Davis
fellow-citizens and friends. The fact, how
ever. that Senator Davis is still able to
take nourishment and that he is not with
out strength is sufficient for his more
hopeful friends TO build encouragement
upon.
