San Francisco, May 20.-Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition was so far i'm
proved yesterday evening that she
was able to sit up for awhile. This
welcome news was given out shortly
after five o'clock. Gen. Shafter called
on President Mckinley and while
they were talking word came down
stairs that Mrs. Mckinley was sitting
up. The president at once asked to
be excused and hurried to the sick
room. The anxiety caused by Satur-
day nights bulletin stating that Mrs.
McKinley's temperature was higher
was dispelled at ten o'clock yesterday
morning when Secretary Cortelyou
announced that she had passed a COM
Portable night and that the slight
fever noted Saturday night had sub
sided. The president did not attend
church, but remained at home nearly
all day, only going out for a short
walk just before noon. There was
a general feeling that the crisis had
been passed and that Mrs. Mckinley
would continue to gain strength. No

1t is learned that the rally which
marked the turning point in her ill
ness came Immediately after treat
ment on Thursday which included a
saline injection directly into the
blood. Her pulse showed quick i'm
provement and she continued to i'm
prove all day yesterday. Leading
physicians who have been informed of
the course of treatment which has
been pursued not only entertain the
hope, but have confidence in the pre-
diction, that the patient will have
better health in the future than she
has had for many years.
The newspapers have established
temporary headquarters for their re-
porters in the neighborhood of the
Scott residence and a vigil is main

concerning the sick room are given
out, however, except the statements
contained in the official bulletins,

South Africa.

Boston, May 2O.-The principal bust
ness at the annual meeting of the
American Peace society, held here
yesterday, was the report of Secre-
tary Benjamin Trueblood, which con-
tanned an account of the work of the
organization during the year. The
report contained these words: "The
conflict in South Africa still goes on,
and is proving over and over again, if
further proof were needed, the APP
palling wickedness and utter insanity
of war in our times. The whole
country has been laid waste, its
homes burned and blown to pieces.
The Boer women and children by
thousands are shut up in military
camps, where they are suffering I'M
told hardships, and many of them dy-
ing from bad food, exposure and dis
ease. To Briton and Boer alike the
war has proved to be veritable hell"

there is no distinct feature about

could be recognized or a person using
a machine be traced. Consequently
the government holds that anyone is
able to put in type seditious writings
without fear of compromising him
