train bearing President and Mrs: Nc
Kinley. Miss Barber, Dr. Rixey, Secre-
tary Cortclyou and Henry T. Scott ar
rived here at d o'clock Sunday afternoon
from Delmonte, Cal.

Francisco by the President in advance OF
the regular program that she may obtain
complete rest. Upon their arrival the
President and his party went to the resi-
dence of Henry T. Scott, which they will
occupy during their stay here.
Mrs. McKinley's condition is said not
to be alarming, but she has not been well
since The long journey began, and the
trip has fatigued her extremely. She did
not improve under medical treatment,
and both the President and DR.. Rixey
considered it wise to bring her TO San
Francisco, where she could have com
plete rest for few days at Mr.. SCOTS
residence, and where DR.. Hirschfeltcr,
Mr.. SCOTS physician. could be consulted.
The Cabinet members and others OF
the party will carry out the program as
arranged, going to San Jose and arrlv-
ing at Dan francisco lueSudy. TIC
present understanding is that the Presi-
dent will rejoin the party at San Jose
if Mrs. McKinley's condition permits.
The day after leaving New Orleans
bone felon appeared upon one of Mrs,
McKinleys fingers, her hand became
swollen, gave her considerable pain and
produced fever that prevented her from
sleeping Dr. Rixey twice lanced the
felon and gave her some relief in that
way. Mrs. Mckinley bore it bravely,
and urged that the program at the cities
and towns should not be modified in any
particular on her account.
A dispatch from Delmonte says: Mrs.
McKinley's illness has cast shadow on
the other members of the Presidential
party who remained here, and there was
talk at first OF abandoning the entire
schedule between Delmonte and San
Francisco, but Mrs Mckinley especially
requested that the plans of the party
should not be disarranged by her depar-
ttlre
