mot greatly changed from that of yes
+erday. but each day that elapses with
ont a gain in strength lessons her pow
ers of recuperation. The complaint which
came near ending her life in San Francis
90 is still present. 1t is in a slightly less
aggravated form, but gives the physicians
and the President much concern. Mrs
Mckinley has shown remarkable vitality,
hut her illness has so reduced her
strength as to leave her very feeble. 1t
is feared that unless a change for the
better soon mandfests itself her strength
NAV become so near exhausted as to leave
her without rallying power. The news
given out by the physicians in attendance
to-day was not reassuring, though hope
of better things still continues. After a
consultation between Drs. Rixey, Stern
berg and Johnston the following bulle-
hin was issued;
Passed Comfortable Night.
"A[rs. Mckinley passed a comfortable
night, but her condition has not material
" changed since the report of yester-
day"
There were no further consultations of
the physicians during the day, but Dr.
Rixey called during the evening and spent
some time with the patient. In response
10 injuries from time 20 time the state
ment was made that there had been no
change in the condition of the distinguish
Cd sufferer.
President Mckinley spent most of the
day at the bedside of his wife. though
late in the afternoon he went out for an
hours drive. He departed alone, but met
Judge Watson of Ohio, an old friend. on
the way. and the latter accompanied him
to the White House.
There were many callers at the White
House during the day and evening, max
ing inquirits regarding the condition of
Mrs. Mckinley. With few exceptions they
simply left their cards after being as
sured by the doorkeepers that there was
no change in Mrs. McKinley's condition.
Physicians in Attendance.
Drs. Rixey ana Sternberg both were
in attendance at the White House dur
ing the evening. although the latter did
not remain very long. DR.. Rixey was at
the mansion for over two hours and when
he left for the night, shortly before IL
o'clock he announced that at that time
| Mrs. Mckinley was resting comfortably,
as she had done all the afternoon.
Senator Elkns called on the PreSdent
during the evening and was with him for
about fifteen minutes.

SHOULD STUDY OUR METHODS.
London TeIegraph's Suggestion 10
British Manufacturers.

London, June 3.-The Daily Telegraph,
in the course of an editorial upon King
Edwards reception of the visiting dele
cation from the New York Chamber of
Commerce, Saturday, says:
'It stamped the royal seal upon ma
tional welcome. There could have been
no more fortunate suggestion at the out
set of this remarkable visit, of the true
spirit in which American business rivalry
is regarded in Great Britain"
The paper advocates, as one of the best
means of meeting this friendly rivalry
that British employers. and workmen alike
should visit the United States and OBJ
serve for themselves American business
methods. and 1t declares that 'the fact
of the two countries being indispensa-
Bile to each other makes all plans of Eu-
ropean industrial coalition against the
United States an idle dream so far as
any British participation is concerned

supreme Courts Remarkable POSI-

tlOn IN fhiIlppJne NHse.
Chicago. June IA special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Washington says:
The Supreme Court has another surprise
in store for the country. Unless it
changes its mind between now and Oc-
tober, the date of it's next meeting. the
court will decide the Philippine case in
favor of the government. II will be an
other decision by divided bench, and
upon most extraordinary grounds, to wit:
First. That the United States has never
declared its intention to retain the Philip
pine Archipelago indefinitely and the only
declaration of policy which had been
made was in the other direction, looking
toward a mere temporary occupation, the
United States being a sort of a trustee
for the people of the Philippines, as it
was a trustee for the people of Cuba.
Second. That in any event the United
States at the time the duty complained
of (the fourteen diamond rings) was col
leeted was not in the actual possession
of the Philippines, but that the United
States was waging war for such posses
sion. and such control as the United
States had wes limited to the operations

Declines to Discuss Senator Till
mans Caustic Letter.
Charlotte, N. c., June "A special to
the Observer from Bennettsville, S. c.,
the home of Senator McLaurin, says there
are good reasons for believing that just
prior to the meeting of Congress, in De-
cember, that Senator McLaurin will re-
sign and request Gov. McSweeney to ap-
point his successor. Should the senator
do this, which is most likely, he would
expect the Governor TO appoint a strong
man representing the same political
views of Messrs. Bryan and Tillman and
the senator would meet this gentleman
in 1902 on the hustings with the purpose
of regaining his place in the Senate. The
senator believes that he has as much
right to define Democratic principles
as has Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Illl-
man or anyone else. Mr.. McLaurin
says that Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Tilman
both opposed true Democracy and advo-
Gated Populsm, Socialism and Commu-
nism, and that he is opposed to these dis
turbing political dogmas and is deter
mined by the aid of his felow-citizens
and the help of his God to forever bury
these South Carolina disturbers of the
public peace.
One thing is settled: those who know
John L. McLaurin are convinced that
the next eighteen months in the Palmetto
state, will encompass the f1ercest polit-
ical battle ever waged within her bor-
ders
One thing that convinces your corre-
spondent that the gentlemen managing
this movement are in earnest and are in
the fight to the finish, is this: In a short
time, so the cards announce, a strong
daily morning paper will be established in
the city of Columbia with brilliant South
Carolinian, now residing in Richmond
Va, as editor.
McLaurinis- Letter Not Arrived
Columbia. S. c., June 2-Nothing sen.
sational developed to-day in the senate
rial situation. The anxiously expected let.
ter from McLaurin to the Governor did
not come. The rumor that McLaurin had
just been given a powerful club in the
shape of information against TiIman,
gives uncertainty as to his answer. If he
has such information this situation would
be the only one in which he could use
it, as Tillman will not be in the cam
paign next year. However, there is little
faith put in these rumors.
The Governor declined to comment on
Tillmans severe letter. He displayed to
reporters bundles of letters and kilograms
received from this and other states con-
graduating him on refusing to accept the
designations.

STRIKERS NOT DIsMAYED.
SeabOnrds Importation at Americas
Regarded as a Bluff.

Americus, Ca, June 2.-The forty strik-
ers of the Seaboard shops in Americus
are not in the least disconnected or scared
at the Importation of the twenty Rus
slams, Italians and Poles, brought here
yesterday, ostensibly to take their places
in the shops. The strikers say there is
not practical machinist in the entire
lot, and regard the movement as a grand
stand play on the part of the company.
The foreigners are still quartered at the
Seaboard shops, where the company has
provided them with cots and rations. The
coming of the new workmen was no sur
prise to the machinists here, as a delega-
ton met the train, but made no effort
to talk to the newcomers. The strikers
are as confident as ever of winning the
fight. There are a dozen or fourteen en-
gines in the Amerious shops awaiting re-
pairs, several of which need complete
overhauling. Only four or five young ap-
prentice boys are at work there.

LABORERs ASK FOR PRAYER
But 1t Seems They Are n Bit Satirical
in Their Request.

Chicago June 2.-Prayer from the Pres

every religious denomination was request
ed for the success of the eight-hour work
day by the Chicago Federation Of Labor
at a. meeting here to-day. The Fedora
tion formulated telegram to the synod,
now in session at Pittsburg, and the sec
retary was instructed 10 send the message
tonight.
From the declaration of President Bow
man and other speakers favoring the
sending of the message 1t was apparent
that it was intended as a bit of satire
amounting TO a rebuke to the synod for
the criticisms recently uttered against
union labor on the floor of the religious
assembly.
