Gy scripps-McRae Press Association.
San Francisco, May l6.-The con-
dition of Mrs. Mckinley is very criti-
cal this morning. The gravest doubts
are entertained of her recovery. The
Presidents wishes are that all func-
tions, so for as he is concerned shall
be cancelled. The people in San Fran
cisco, and other cities the party was
to visit, express the deepest sympathy,
and are willing to forego everything
for the sake of the chief executive
and mis- stricken helpmate. The
President has not yet abandoned the
hope of attending the launching of the
Ohio.
WASHINGTON NOT SURPRISED.
~ scripps-MoRae Press Association.
Washington, May l6.-The news of
the breakdown of Mrs. McKinleyis no
surprise here. AS the wife of the
Governor of Ohio she was subject to
fainting spells and since she has
been the first lady of the land her
health has in no wise improved. She
did not seem to realize how delicate
she was and vigorously opposed the
suggestion that Mckinley publicly
dec are that she is an invalid in order
TO SPARE her from trying social duties.
