HIS TOUR GIVEN UP.
Mrs. McKinley's Serious Condition
Stops Presidents Programme.
To Go Homo by Most Direct ROute-But
How Seen Mrs. Mckinley VIII Be Able
t@S-ravel Is a Question Which No
One Can Answer.

San Francisco, May 16.-Owing to
1.-THE very serious character of Mrs. Nc
K1nley's illness the president yester-
day morning definitely decided to
abandon his contemplated northwest
err tour and to return to Washington
direct as soon as Mrs. Mckinley is
able to stand the journey. The grav-
ity of Mrs. McKinley's condition had
been known to the members of the
presidents immediate party for sew
eral days, but had been concealed in
the belief that she would rally as she
had SO frequently in the past when
suffering from one of her periods of
depression, and with few days of
absolute quiet and rest be restored
to her normal condition. But her
present illness has been attended
with entirely new complications
which have not yet yielded to treat
ment, and the president concluded
yesterday morning that it was time
the public should be appraised of the
true situation. He was also anxious
that the citizens of the cities and
towns along the planned route of his
return trip, who have made such ex-
tcnsive preparations for his visit,
should receive prompt notification of
the circumstances which compelled
his decision. The bulletin which Sec
rotary COrtelyou gave to the Assoc
ciated press yesterday morning an
nouncing the abandonment of the
trip, coupled with another announce
mcnt that Mrs. McKinley's condition
Tuesday night was better in some re-
'spects but worse in others, prepared
the way for the bulletin issued two
hours later that DIR. Henry Gibbons,
a celebrated physician of San Fran
cisco, had been called in consultation
with DIR. Hirschfelder and DR.. Rixey.
DIR. Gibbons has reputation for his
skill in the treatment of bowel dis
orders.
Mrs. McKinley's illness has cast n
shadow over the whole city. Just
how soon Mrs. Mckinley will be able
to travel is a question which no one
can answer now. 1t may be neces-
sary for her to remain here longer
than next Monday, when the party
was originally scheduled to leave.
Indeed, it, is likely that it will he
somewhat later before she is able to
endure the long trip across the con-
tinent. But as soon as she is suf-
ficiently strong the trip will be made
by the most direct route, probably
the Union Pacific. No stops will be
made and it is believed the trip can
be made in five days.

February IA last, Mr.. Choate was mar
ried in Brooklyn, N. Y, to Miss Alice

BIBLES FOR THE FILIPINos.
VIII Require Ten Years and Cost $780,
900 to Translate the Gospel into the
Different Languages.

Cincinnati, May 15.-The American
Bible society has laid out a costly and
extensive plan of work in the Philip
pines, according to DIR. John A. Pear
son, field agent of the society. He
said: "It is variously estimated that
there are between "a and "a different
languages and dialects in the islands
and from correspondence with work
ers in the field I have learned that
it will take ten different versions of
the Bible to reach them. It is esti-
mated that translation will require
all of one mans time for ten years,
together with that of a native teacher
as assistant. The salary of such a
man would likely be $4,000 yearly, and
the total cost would figure s250,OOO.
Besides this, of course, is the cost of
printing and distribution"

dents, charges which she vehemently de-
MED. There is one child of the marriage,
a boy who is now in the custody of the
