May Abandon Trip.
There is some probability of President
Mckinley abandoning his proposed trip
into the northwest, in view Of the condi-

are over. Mr.. Mckinley is very much wor-
ried over the condition Of his wife, and it
is even possible that many Of the functions
arranged in her honor for this week may
be postponed or dropped altogether. Sec

Mrs. Mckinley, should she continue the
trip with the president, would not under
any circumstances engage in any of the
social functions arranged for the party at
any place, but Mrs. Mckinley will remain
as quiet as possible during the remainder
