IMPROVEMENT LOOKED FOR
TODAY'S BULLETIN IN REGARD TO
MRS. McEINLEY'S CONDITION.
President Feeling More CheerfuI-Dr.
Osler of Johns Hopkins Joins
the Other Physicians.

President Mckinley and all the members
of the household at the White House were
more cheerful this morning as to Mrs. Nc
kinley's condition than at any time since
Saturday. The condition of the patient
Sunday did not show any marked improve
ment and the physicians did not give out
anything that would allay the apprehen-
sion that was so general in all quarters
DIR. Osler. the celebrated diagnostican Of
Baltimore. was sent for last night and ar
rived at the White House today in time to
take part in the morning consultation of
the three physicians in charge OF the case
DR.. Osler is connected with the medical
department of Johns Hopkins A consulta-
ton of about an hour followed his arrival
and at 11:15 o'clock In the morning the
following bulletin was made public by Sec
retary Cortelyou:
"Drs. Rixey, Sternberg and Johnston
were joined by DR.. Osler OF Baltimore in
consultation at 10 am. and report that
Mrs. Mckinleys condition is as favorable
as could be expected. There is no imme-
diate apprehension and slow improve
ment is looked for"
DR.. Johnston said to several who made
inquiry that an improvement was looked
for.
President Mckinley was informed by the
physicians of their opinion and to some of
his friends later he appeared more cheer
ful than he has for several days.
II the improvement which the physicians
hope for Is realized 1t will necessarily be
slow. with constant danger of a relapse at
any time. The serious danger lies in the
fact that with lack of Improvement the
powers Of recuperation, heretofore SO mar
velous in Mrs. Mckinley, will be decreased.
The illness of Mrs Mckinley is bringing
many sympathetic messages of inquiry
from all parts Of the world, among them
those from King Edward VII and Presi-
dent Loubet, sent at the time of the first
critical stage of the illness at San Fran
cisco.

tfon Of the vanderbiits.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. June S-The cleo
tion of w. H. Newman as president OF the
New York Central by the directors of that
road in New York today has given fresh
impetus to the report that a unification of
the management Of the Vanderbilt lines is

and general manager OF the lines west, To-
Gated at Cleveland.

THE MCPHERSON FLOATED.
Towed to Matanzas Harbor After
WeatherinE -Four Months Storms.

WeatherinE -Four Months Storms.
The Quartermaster general has received
a telegram saying that the transport Nc
Pherson. which was stranded on a bar near
Matanzas on the 4th Of February last, was
successfully floated yesterday ami towed to
a safe anchorage in the harbor of Matanzas.
This vessel has had a most remarkable ex-
perience. Having run fast aground nearly
four months ago, she resisted the constant
efforts Of the most experienced wreckers in
the United States to get her into deep wa
ter until yesterday, when the conditions at
last favored the undertaking. During the
long period she was exposed to the ravages
OF the wind and sea she remained intact.
and demonstrated almost unprecedented
stanchness. More than a dozen storms
struck her, but without effecting her ruin.
The operations for her salvage have been
conducted by the Merritt Wrecking Gem
pany Of New York, and it's contract with
the government requires the delivery Of the
vessel in some port Of the United States;
otherwise they receive no compensa tion for
the expenses incurred. The Mcpherson will
be temporarily repaired at Matanzas ard
towed to New York for such disposition as
the quartermaster general may determine.
Her exact condition is unknown, but IL
will undoubtedly cost considerable money
to put her in serviceable condition.
