SAN Francisco, May 10, midnight.
The condition of Mrs. Nc Kinley is
most alarming. For several days she
has taken nothing but liquid nour-
ishment. Her extreme weakness eX-
cites the greatest apprehension, and
collapse is imminent.
1t is learned that Mrs. Mckinley S
condition is considered serious by the
physicians attending her.
Drs. Rixey and Hirschfelder were
in consultation this morning and an
other physician will be called in this
afternoon.
1t is probable that if she RECEIVERS
Mrs. Mckinley will be unable to leave
San Francisco by next Monday, when
the stay of the presidential party was
to have terminated.
The President will remain here with
Mrs. Mckinley.
At 10 o'clock this morning Secre-
tary Cortelyou informed the Associ-
ted Press that Mrs. McKinley's seri-
Gus illness had compelled the Presi-
dent to abandon his proposed visit to
other states, to which he had looked
with so much pleasure. AS soon as
Mrs. McKinley's health permits he
will return to Washington by the
most direct route.
Secretary Cortelyou also issued the
following bulletin regarding Mrs. Nc
Kinley's conditions
There has been but but little change
in Mrs. McKinley's condition since
last night. She has gained in several
respects and lost in others.
The President will remain quietly
at Mr.. Scott's residence today and
will not take part in any of the exer-
cises to be given in his honor.
Secretary of the Navy Long may
leave the presidential party and de
part for the east at any moment. He
has received word that his daughter
who has been living in Colorado
Springs for over year for her health
is dangerously i'll.
Secretary Long is accompanied OF
the trip by Mrs. Long and son OF
tender years. The boy was also taker
ill yesterday at the Palace hotel where
the Longs are staying, and the ply
sician called in ordered the child's re
tirement to the bed at once. The sec
rotary is worried over the illness iI
his family, and he is not inclined tc
continue his trip.

HAS OBTAINED CONTROL.
The Pennsylvania Will Now Direct the
Destiny of the B. & 0.

DSSlllt VI tllS De- q VI
According to an article which APP
peared yesterday in the Philadelphia
Public Ledger, the Pennsylvania has
gained absolute possession or control
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
This, it is said, was accomplished by
the purchase of the stock of the Mary
land corporation, the requisite
amount of the securities having been
obtained about six weeks ago. The
recent retirement of J. J. Hill and
Charles H. Tweed from the manage
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio and
the fact that their successors were
Samuel Rea, fourth vice president
of the Pennsylvania railroad, and
James McCrea, of Pittsburg, vice
president of the Pennsylvania COM
pany, which includes the lines west
of Pittsburg, was regarded as evidence
that the Pennsylvania people had al
ready acquired prominent place in
the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t is said that the actual fact of
control was not made puplic at the
time it was secured for the reason
that some difficulty was met in get
ting possession of Baltimore and Ohio
securities by reason of the exorbitant
prices demanded for them. 1t is said
that the policy to be followed by the
Pennsylvania railroad in conducting
the affairs of the Baltimore and Ohio
has not yet been definitely determin-
ed, but that after several conferences
it was decided by President Cassatt's
councillors to leave the whole matter
to him for settlement.
1t is said that the two railroads will
work in harmony so far as freight
rates are concerned, and the taking
oyer of the Baltimore and Ohio by
the Pennsylvania is regarded in rail
road circles as removing disturbing
factor that has long been a thorn in
the side of the other trunk lines.
w hliC OllC CAl1Sy lNdAlt TdlITOdu HAS
but four members of the board of di-
rectors at present, other members are
favorable to the new interest. Just
what further changes will be made in
the board has not been determined,
excepting that it is believed Mr.. Solo
mon will retire shortly. He has long
desired to be relieved, so that he
could go abroad and spend some time
! in travel.
The relations between the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Reading have
been very close, and the Baltimore
company owes its through line to
New York to Reading and it's new
first cousin as an official terms the
Central New Jersey. The present
traffic agreements are to be maintain
ed, so it is understood.
1t is also declared to be the inten-
ton to permanently maintain both
roads as separate companies. The re-
tirement of Mr.. John K. Cowen from
the presidency of the Baltimore and
Ohio is expected, but owing to the
cordial relations existing between
him and Mr.. Cassatt it is not believed
undue haste will be taken in this con
nection.

M'COMAS PREDICTS
VICTORY IN FALL.
Advises Putting Up'a Good Ticket So As to Win hide
pendent Support-Counties Are Very Much
Encouraged Over Result.

Senator McComas is confident that
the Republicans can win again this
fall if they put up strong candidates.
Referring to the election in Baltimore
he said:
1T was a sweeping victory on a
light vote. The trainers of the excel
lent charter believed a spring election
in Baltimore might be freed from
politics. After years of trial it may
be so. This year it could not be. The
extra session of the Legislature was a
daring political scheme. 1t made this
spring election political and politi-
cally very important. Itpassed a law
to disfranchise 1000 illiterate voters,
white and colored. Passed a local
law for sewers by political deal. 1t
gerrymandered councilmanic and leg
islative districts to destroy the power
of the Independents in the Legisla-
ture and in the city council.
THE extra session schemers knew
that the independent voters of Balti-
more are as numerous as independents
in Boston, and were confident that
their schemes had defeated the Re-
publican party and destroyed the
power and influence of the Reform
League, of other civic government re-
formers and of all the independent
Democrats.
This series of political outrages
aroused all the active Republicans in
the city. 1t made fair minded men
dissatisfied. The mass of the people
love fair play. The spectacle of the
unwilling Legislature, herded like
cattle, guarded like prisoners, the
open dictatorial control of Senator
German at Annapolis, followed by
Rasin's sweeping victory in the Balti-
more primaries, Disguised citizens of
Baltimore.
THE Republicans named a good
ticket. Under the leadership of Chair
man Mason their primaries were the
fairest any party has held in Balti-
more for a generation.
The party as result was united,
harmonious, aggressive. The Demo
Gratis were divided. The Republican
illiterates were eager to learn to vote
the ballot. The white Republicans
were resentful and grew more earnest
as election day grew near. The white
Democratic illiterates were evidently
turned against their party. When
the vote is analysed this will more
clearly appear, and | am sure it will
be found that larger percentage OF
colored illiterates voted than now APP
pears. Before the fall election they
will all try to do their duty.
This victory in the city is a bugle
blast which will arouse the Republi-
can party in every county in the
State. The harmony of our party in
the city will be equaled by the har
mony of our party in every county
The fight for the Legislature to de-
feat Senator German and crush out
Rasin, to restore our model election
law, will make the legislative ticket
the centre of the fight. On all hands
hear the Republicans say we must
nominate tickets quickly to educate
and arouce our illiterate vote. Oul
legislative ticket must and will be
the strongest. In Baltimore, espe
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-05-16

cially, our best men must be persuad-
ed to run. Indeed, it were better for
the Republican party and for the
State that we should be defeated I'M
less we can elect far better Legisla-
ture than the present, whose regular
session was so severely condemned by
the Baltimore Sun, whose extra SEES
sion has just been so emphatically re-
buked by the voters of Baltimore.
THE Republicans in both branches
of the city council in Baltimore are
good men. They can serve their
party best if they serve Baltimore
best. If they be harmonious, eau
tiOus, conservative, they will vindi-
cate their election. The fight III the
autumn will thus be half won. The
Republican campaign of organization
will be extended to the counties. |
am hopeful that the primaries in the
city and State may be unusually good.
In Baltimore the Independents will
help us if we give them a good ticket
to vote for. That city will be the
centre of the fight. The campaign
will grow animated and earnest. An
aroused public sentiment will once
more fight Senator German and Mr..
Rasin. Their domination was never
so uncontested in the Democratic
party than it has been this spring.
| The voters of Baltimore and Mary
land must meet and overcome the
same men and issues they met and
overcame in 1895. Let the city coun-
Gil be prudent; let the nominations be
III. ,ually good and we will repeat
the verdict of 1895.
