GEN HARR|SON'S CONDITION
Dropped Into a Comatose Con-

Anxious Watchers at'His Bedside All Night-The EX-President Failed To Recognize Those About Him-Rela- tives Hurrying to His Home.

Indianapolis, March. .13.-A few min- utes before 1 o'clock this afternoon, the report came unofticially from the Harrison home that the general had sunk into a semi comatoSe condition, from which it was impossible to arouse him. The only means by which it could be determined whether he was alive or dead was by holding a small mirror over his mouth and noStrils. Even by this means it was difficult by the closest inspection, to discover that respiration still continued.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 13.-At the home of Former President Benjamin Harrison last night was a long, anxious vigil to the watchers at the bedside of the dying sta atcSman. The gloom emanating from the sick room spread over the city, tie state and the nation. Thousands of telegrams. tele- phone calls and personal inquiries and expressions of grief and sympathy poured in, while. in the streets before the newspaper and telegraph offices crowds watched anxiOuSly for the hourly bulletins that told of the fight against death.
 In these bulletins there was no hope extended of recovery and it was ap- parent that General Harrison was not expected by the physicians to live
 more than q few hours. DrS lame son and Dorsey, the nurses, Mir lib bettS. the generals secretary: his life friend and former law partner, w. 1T. H. Miller. and Mrs Harrison, were in the sick room throughout the night. None of them remained constantly it the bedside. Thew were so wearied by the strain of the anxious hours since the patients condition became critical that they were forced to seek a little rest during theN night. How l ever. one of the physicians, one of the nurses ana one or the members l of the household were in constant at l tendance.
 1 The bulletins issued by Dr lame 1 son throughout the night told but
 little of the hard, anxious fight that | was being made against death. Each bulletin carried practically the same in 1 formation as it's predecessor-that the general was gradually growing weak | CT This was understood to mean that | the most heroic treatment was being
 administered and that the sufferer
 was clinging to life With remarkable | tenacity.

Waterbury Democrat., 1901-03-13

Indianapolis, Ind. March 13. - At 3 o'clock this morning physicians at the bedside of General Harrison said there had been no change in his condition during the last two hours There is little apprehension, they say. that he will die for several hours at least, though they qualify this by saying it is impossible to say certainly what the next few hours may develop. Gen crai Harrison is apparently resting without pain, but remains uncon- SciouS.
 q. m.-There is perceptible change in General Harrison's condition. DTS Jameson, Hadley and Dorsey have been in constant attendance through out the night.
 The oxygen treatment, by which it was hoped the affected portion of the patients lung might be relieved of the strain which deepened the infamma- tion, was administered regularly. While the oxygen did not bring re- suits that were at any time encourag- ing. it enabled the general to prOlong the fight. General Harrison gave no sign during the night that he recog- niZed those about him or that he was suffering greatly
