4 BONE FEL0M THE TROUBLE.
HAS BEEN VERY MUCH FATIGUED
BY THE TRIP.

The President Will Endeavor to Re-
ioin the Party at San Jose To-day
I'm Order That the Programme NAV
He Carried Out-Mrs. Mckinley
Has Not Been Well Since the Jour-
uey Began and Her Illness May
Interfere With the ScheduIe-'The
doctors Declare 1t Is Nothing Seri-
Gus.
Demonte, Cal, May 12-Owing to the
state of Mrs. McKinley's health the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by
DR. Rixey and Miss Barber, the Presi-
dents niece, left here for San Francisco
at 80 o'clock to-day. They will go to
the residence of Henry r. Scott, there,
and it is hoped that the complete rest
will have a beneficial effect upon Mrs.
Mckinley Her condition is said not to
be alarming, but she is worn out by her
long journey and it was considered wise
10 take her to San Francisco where she
could have proper nursing and where
specialists could be consulted if neces-
sary.
here and San Francisco will be carried
out as originally planned and the Presi-
dent expects to be able to rejoin the par

bearing President and Mrs Mckinley.
Miss Barber, DIR. Rixey, Secretary Cortel-
you and Henry T. Scott, arrived at 4
o'clock this afternoon from Delmonte.
Mrs Mckinley was brought here by the
President in advance of the regular pro-
gramme that she may obtain complete
rest Upon arriving here the party were
driven to the residence of Henry T. Scott,
which they will occupy during their stay
here.
Mrs. McKinley's illness is said not to
be alarming, but she has not been well
since the long journey began, and the
trip has fatigued her very much. Last
night she did not respond to medical
treatment. and both the President and
Dr. Rixley considered it wise to take her
10 San Francisco where she could have
complete rest for few days at Mr.
scott's residence and where Dr. Hfrsch-
felter, Mrs. SCOTS physician, could be
consulted If necessary. The cabinet and
other members of the party will carry
out the programme as arranged going
San InSn arriving at
San Francisco on Tuesday. The present
understanding is that the President will
rejoin the party at San Jose if Mrs.
Mckinleys condition permits DR.. RiXey
said Mrs Mckinley was much better to-
day than she had been last night.
Mrs. Mckinley bruised her hand while
the train was rounding a sharp curve in
Texas and she has suffered considerably
from the bruise since. Her delicate
health has aggravated the injury; and
DR.. Rixey was twice compelled to lance
IT. The lancing relieved her very much
for the time being.
Her Condition Not Serious.
AZ O'clock tonight DIR. Rixey made
the following statement:
Mrs. Mckinley stood the trip from
Dolmonte much better than l expected.
Her condition is not serious She will
stay here a least week and have per-
rect rest. l think by that time she will
ne able to continue the journey. She
mas been gaining strength all afternoon.
