"Trip Into Northwest Likely to BE
Abandoned.
San Francisco, May 15.-Both Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley had rest
full night and Tuesday morning Mrs.
Mckinley was reported to be steadily
improving. The president, however,
was feeling the strain and with
busy day before him, decided not to
90 to Stanford university. He was
expected to address the students there
and later lunch at the Burlingtone
club. Instead he quietly remained in
San Francisco until the afternoon,
when he met the rest of his party at
the railroad station and rode in the
elaborate parade arranged in his
honor. In the evening he held pub
lie reception in the big ferry building.
At ten o'clock Tuesday morning
Secretary Cortelyou issued the fol-
lowing bulletin:
1.-The doctors. after their morning con-
sultation, find that Mrs. Mckinley has lost
nothing. but has gained a little since last
nights rest"
If Mrs. Mckinley continues to i'm
prove. the president will continue his
trip to the northwest. If, however,
she does not rally sufficiently the
northwest trip will be abandoned and
the president will take her direct to
Washington.
Casts Gloom Over Party.
Palo Alto, Cal, May 15.-President
Mckinley Tuesday telegraphed Secre-
tarv Hay that he would not leave Mrs.
McKinleys bedside Tuesday. This cast
a gloom over the entire party. 1t had
been hoped and expected that Mrs.
McKinley's condition would permit
the president to join the party on its
arrival here for the visit to Leland
Stanford university.
Among the members of the party
Tuesday morning the prevailing opin-
ion was that Mrs. McKinley's condi-
ton would necessitate the complete
abandonment of the trip beyond San
Francisco.
Rides in the Parade.
San Francisco. May 15.-President
. Mckinley made his official entry into
San Francisco late Tuesday afternoon
accompanied by the members of the
cabinet who crossed the continent
with him. He was escorted through
the principal streets by an imposing
body of regular and volunteer troops,
veterans of the Mexican and civil wars
and citizens.
In the carriage following the pres
idential party's 30, were the 30 visit
ing congressman from various states,
the IS San Francisco supervisors, some
ten or twelve members of the general
committee and other notable persons.
Reviews Parade.
After reviewing the parade from
a stand which has been erected on Van
Ness avenue. he was driven to the Scott
residence. over which the presidential
flag will fiy while it remains his tenn
porary home. In the evening he passed
through the illuminated streets of
the city to the Union ferry depot, in
the grand nave of which he held pub
lie reception. 1t was estimated that
at least half a million people assem-
bled on the streets to welcome the
pre- sident to the coast metropolis, for
every city and village in the state sent
its people here by every train and
boat.
Much sympathy is everywhere eN-
pressed for Mrs. Mckinley and the de-
sire is universal that her health may
improve so that she will be able to at
tend some of the social functions
which have been arranged in her
honor.
Would Make Mrs. Mckinley Well.
Among the hundreds of people who
congregated Monday about the Scott
residence where she lies i'll, were many
people offering various nostrums for
her relief whom the police found it
difficult to suppress. They did not
ask for money. their only desire being
to aid the presidents wife, they de-
clared.
If the programme prepared by the
citizens committee is carried out, Mr.
Mckinley will have scarcely moment
of rest during the week of his sojourn
in this city.
Gov. Geer of Oregon has arrived here
and will join with Cows. Gage and Nash
in the official receptions already sched-
uled.
The San Francisco board of trade
sent circulars to all its members re-
questing them to close up their places
of business at noon Tuesday as a token
Of respect to the president.
The warships Iowa, Wisconsin and
Philadelphia and the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Farragut are in port and were
illuminated Tuesday night.
