MRS. M'KINLfY DYING
Is Passing Through the Valloy of
 tho Shadow of DoAth

San Francisco. May I6-Mrs. Me. Kinley is m the valley of the shadow oi death, and may pass away at any mo mcnt This morning shortly before dawn she sank rapidly and it was feared that she would die before reStor- atiycs could be administered. But she responded to the powerful heart stlm- ulantS which were given Co her and during the day improved to such an extent that hope of her recovery, slight though it was, revived.
 The new treatment for low vitality. salt solution injections in the veins. was administered Co Mrs. Mckinley. and she responded to the treatment. But her life hangs by thread She has taken no solid food since she reached here on Sunday, and the physicians do not believe she could survive another sinking spell. such as she experienced this morning She suffers little and bears mp bravcly. During her periods of consciousness today her mind has been clear.
 The president is constantly at her bedside. and although worn by his long vigil. is standing the awful strain with remarkable iortitudc. Every banquet and public function planned in his hon. or here has been abandoned, and the whole city with a heavy heart. is watching Mrs. McKinlcy's battle for liie
 An the members of the cabinet with the possible exception of Secretary Long. will remain here until the end. The daughter of the last named IS very ill at Colorado Springs and he IS ap- prchcnsiyc that he may be called there at any time.
 At o'clock tonight all was quiet around the Scott home. About 200 people were assembled in Lafayette square awaiting developments. There was a feeling of relief when Secretary Cortelyou summoned the press rep rcsentatiyes and gave them the bullc tin announcing that the physicians re- ported Mrs McKinley'S condition decidedly improved since morning and that their patient was resting well at that hour. \ large detail of police wa, on duty keeping pedestrians and teams from approaching near the house.

The snow was very deep, the deepest that the oldest inhabitant re- members. At GTenora the houses were entirely covered Arrived at Telegraph creek we proceeded south along the telegraph line and we reached the end of it at Ningusaw on April 2.
 "We found the men at the station in good health. but they had put in a pretty lonely winter of it. There were very few breaks in the line, remark ably few in fact when the tremendous fall of snow is considered. On April IS we started out, crossed the summit which is always above the timber line. struck down the Mass to a river we called Simons river, because we found an old Indian there who said his name was Simon. We used to get out at three in the morning in order to get the benefit of the early morning frost The trayeling got very soft toward noon.

 Eighty Mile Gap In Dawson Line

Mir. J. B. Charleson, superintendent of construction of the Yukon telegraph line. arrived m Vancouver on the C. P. K. steamer Tees. accompanied by MesSrs. J. Y Rochester, A Boyles, Jos Gobell. E. E. CharleSon and K. K. Carpenter.
 Regarding the progress of work m the north Mir. CharleSon said that I2o miles of the line from Port Simpson Co Hazleton had already been con structed and 7S miles more would bring them to Hazlcton where the junction would be made with the line to Dues mel. |.
 "We have just passed the canyon O; the Skeena." he said, "and experience ed no great difficulties SO far. The country is pretty rough but IS not SO bad as the other portion of the hne. The fact is we can use canoes instead of horses for bringing up our supplies and this considerably leSSenS the diti- culties. think that with ordinary luck we should be to Hazelton by he first of July. We have about 7S men at work including canoemen and every body else
 "The country is plentiiully wooded. A little to much for our work. Some of the timber we have struck measures three feet and a half at the stump.
 Mir. Boyer said tho most interesting news brought down by the party IS that concerning the gap m the line to Dawson. lt will be remembered that when the season closed there were the widest rumorS abroad concerning the reasons for the failure Co complete the line. It was. m fact asserted that the two gangs working respectively north and south had through official bungling actually passed one another zs mile apart, and that parallel lines had accordingly been built for a con siderable distance.
 When Mir Charleson came out last winter he denied this absolutely and investigation has proved the core ,- ness of his position.

IS A FAILURE.
State Feeble Minded Institute so Declared
by DR.. Owens. Superintendent.

Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 17.-Dr.
@. @. Owens, Superintendent of
the State Institution for Feeble
Minded Children at Frankfort,
in his report filed with Gov.
Beckham, recommends the abol-
ishment of the institution and
the establishment in its stead of
a home for all the 1000 pauper
idiots weose maintenance is now
paid for by the State at $40 per
annum each. DIR. Owens states
in his report that as an institu-
tion of learning the present
home for feeble minded children
is an utter failure, and the State
could more cheaply and in a bet
ter manner care for the pauper
idiots now cared for in the coun-
ties of the State.

AFFIRMED JUDGMENT.
Court Of Appeals Says Major Carson
Should Pay the Five Thousand.
SENSATIONAL CASE IN WHICH YOUNG
lADY'S PHOTOGRAPH FIGURED

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 17.-The
Court of Appeals, in an opinion
by Judge Burnam, affirmed the
Judgment of the Fayette Circuit
Court, granting judgment of
So, 900 against j. T. Carson, who
was sued by w. Z. Singleton for
damages alleged to have been
received by Singleton in per-
sonal difficulty. The case will
be recalled as having attracted
wide attention at the time of
the trouble. Singleton was a
photographer, and Major Carson
wealthy horseman. Trouble
occurred oyer a certain picture
of Miss Mary Warfeld, niece
of Major Carson, which Single
ton displayed in his show win
dow, and which disappeared.
Singleton accused the young lady
of being responsible for the dis
appearance of the picture, and
he and Major Carson had a fight.
Singleton came out of the fight
with broken head, as result
of a blow from Major Carson's
cane, and perforated bowels from
Carson's pistol balls. In dam
age suit Singleton got judgment
for $4,000, and Carson appealed.
The court here says the amount
of the judgment is not out Of
proportion to the injuries re-
ceived, and affirms the case, di-
recting that the damages be paid
in full.

SOLDIERS HAVE GONE.
Processes Of the federal and County
Courts Now Enforce Quiet-Woods
and Other Leaders Are Scarce.

Madisonville, KY, Dec. 10
The Hopkinsville company of
state guards, y in all, which has
been stationed here and at the
Providence slope mine for five
weeks, returned home this after
noon and tonight. Gen. Murray's
order relieving the soldiers from
duty here came this morning and
was a complete surprise to all.
Tomorrow is the day set for the
union trials, and it is the general
belief that the soldiers would at
least remain until they were dis
posed of. While it Is true that
there is no apprehension of any
trouble growing out of the trials,
yet the soldiers were already
here and their presence would be
safeguard against any outbreak
on the part of the agitators. Gen.
Murray gave his orders from
Frankfort, where he has been for
ten days. During his absence
Maj. Watts has been in command.
Only about 45 of the Hopkins
vile company were here, the
the other 30 members being away
on leaves and some have been
discharged.
The detachment at Providence,
under command of Lieut.. Bella
my, broke camp as soon as they
received the orders and drove
through to Madisonville, dis
tance of IL miles. They arrived
here too late for the afternoon
train and left on the midnight
train for home.
There has been no trouble In
either Hopkins or Webster coun-
ty since the soldiers have been
stationed here the last time. The
authorities of Hopkins and Web
ster counties have made it so hot
for the law-breakers since the
attack on the Providence mine
that they have been forced to
suspend operations for a season.
The warrants issued by County
Judge Hall, charging all the union
leaders with conspiring to intim-
idate the non-union miners, has
had the tendency to keep Presi-
dent Woods, Secretary Campbell

An Intrusive Bee.

A bee hunting refuge from the cold
weather found hiding place in one
of the fluffy house slippers of Miss
Meme Smith, pretty and popular
Frederick street young lady. When
Miss Smith put her foot in the slip
per Sunday morning, the bee re-
sented the intrusion and promptly
stung Miss Smith. 1t is needless to
say there was commotion in the
Smith household for a few minutes.
The intrusive bee was "squelched, +"
