after leaving Los Angeles it became apparent
Mckinley was very sick woman.
At Surf. a small station near Santa Cruz the
train stopped for almost half an hour to
permit DR.. Rixey to lance the felon again in
order to relieve her from the keen pain she was
suffering BY the time Del Monte reached
she was almost in state of collapse. The
dysentery did not yield to treatment. and DIR.
Rixey and the President became genuinely
alarmed. 1t first suggested that a physi-
clan should be summoned from San Francisco
for consultation. and that Mrs Mckinley should
remain quietly at the hotel in Del Monte, In the
hope that few days of absolute quiet would
restore her to her normal health: but after a
conference with Mr.. Scott IL decided that it
would be wiser to bring her to his house, where
every comfort could be provided, where trained
nurses could be procured, and where the best
physicians in San Francisco could be called in
consultation. if necessary.
Since her arrival here Mrs. Mckinley has taken
no solid food whatever, and the doctors have
not been able completely to check the dysentery.
Except by reputation, the President knew moth
ing of DR.. Hirschfelder, whom Mr.. Scott advised
should be called in as consulting physician. and
this worried him considerably. After Mrs Nc
Kinley had been here twenty-four hours with
out noticeable improvement. the President asked
Mr.. Scott what his opinion of DIR. Hirschfeder
was.
''He is brutalIy frank" replied Mr. Scott
II shall have a talk with him. said the Presi-
dent.
He took DIR. Hlrschfeder into an adjoining
room, and they together for some time.
Afterward the President remarked to Mr., Scott
that the opinion he had expressed Of DR.. Hirsch-
felder's frankness agreed with his own. From
that conversation with DR.. Hirschfelder dated
the Presidents first genuine alarm over the
termination Of his wife's illness.

ILLNESS BEGAN IN TEXAS.

FIELDER HAD BEEN CONSULTED.
San Francisco. May 16-Mrs. McKiney's
present illness began shortly after she left FL
Paso. She had stood the trip remarkably well
up 10 that time. with the exception of a slight
period of depression at w-Orieans. That
however. soon passed away. and she felt un-
usually we'll throughout the "trip across the
State of Texas until FL I'aso reached. At
that place the bone felon first appeared. and
proved very trying to her nerves. as we'll as
giving her much pain The heat and dust Of the
long desert stretch through New-Mexieo and
Arizona were a severe strain on her strength.
Before Los Angeles was reached the felon had
been lanced once by DR. Rixey. AT the latter
place her illness still further complicated
by a.severe attack of bowel trouble, and she had
a bad night at the home OF General Harrison
Grey Otis But she bore up bravely. and In
sisted, rather against the advice Of the Presi-
dent and other members OF the party, on trying

her. The tax or her strength was too great. and

A REVIVAL OF HOPE.

n REVIVAL Of hOfE
AS the day went on there was a noticeable
Improvement in Mrs. McKinley's condition. and
a distinct revival OF hope in the minds OF the
anxious watchers at her bedside. Her mind
cleared. and she asked the President about the
women of the Cabinet. and how they were en-
joying themselves. She expressed a desire that
her illness should not be allowed to interfere
with their pleasure. Miss Hitchcock and Miss
Wilson. who were in the next room at the time
were summoned. and she greeted them with
faint smile. At luncheon. which Postmaster
General Smith and Secretary Hitchcock took
with the President Miss Barber came downstairs
and told the small company that Mrs. Mckinley
had just asked for chicken and coffee. saying she
was tired Of liquid nourishment that the doctors
were giving her. This evidence OF her reviving
strength was considered extremely gratifying
and for a time the little company was almost
exultant. Perhaps however, the hope they felt
was disproportionate to the slight grounds on
which il based. The doctors OF course
were compelled to refuse to give Mrs Mckinley
solid food For two days they have been able
to give her only beef tea and brandy. together
with the other stimulants for her enfeebled heart
action. Nitro-glycerine and the most powerful
stimulants known 10 the medical profession
have been resorted 10.

Postmaster General and the Secretary OF the
Interior. he stroed through the neighboring
streets. returning the respectful salutatons
given by all who recognized him. and once or
twice he stopped to shake hands with those who
requested the privilege.
on his return to the house he cheerlIy told a
group of newspaper men assembled there that
Mrs Mckinley was holding her own.
POPULAR SORROW MANIFESTED
The women of the Cabinet also took advantage
condition TO go for a short drive in the after
Scott house was filled with crowds of people
drawn not much by curiosity as by an eager
desire for direct news from the sickroom Their
profound sorrow was apparent from the silent
and respectful way I'm which they obeyed the
injunctlOns OF the police to keep back beyond
the coping of the road which runs through the
centre of the park Although fully one hundred
and fifty yards from the house many of them
spoke in whispers. Late in the afternoon little
girl with armful OF flowers braved the police
and ascended the steps. The butler opened the
door
II brought these for Mrs Mckinney she
lisped I'VE sorry. l hope she will be
better soon" Then she handed over the flowers
and slipped away.
Secretary Hay Is utterly worn out by the
strain OF the last few days and the fatigue OF
the long journey. He rested in his room at the
hotel all day. Mrs. Hay. who was at the Scott
house kept him advised OF the developments
there
