EX.SPEAKER REED
PASSED A GOOD NIGHT.

Washington, Dec i.-Former Speak
er Thomas b. Reed, who is III at the
Arlington hotel in this city, passed Il
good night. When his physicians called
this morning they found that the symp-
toms of appendicitis which developed
yesterday had abated somewhat but on
the contrary there were INDICATIONS of
kidney complications.
These complications are due, they
say, to the fact that for two or three
days Mr. Reed has been subsisting up
on a LIQUID diet, largely champagne
The effect of this would be 90 induce a
little kidney trouble so that the present
complications are not regarded as SER
ious. Mrs. Reed and her daughter. Miss
Nittie, who arrived last evening, are
assured that the present condition OF
Mr. Reed Is not alarming.
The following bulletin was issued to-
day by Mr.. Reeds physicians
Mr.. Reeds temperature at s a. m.
was 100; pulse 81; respiration SO. Synp-
toms Of appendicitis abating. Some kid.

AT I o'clock Mr.. Reeds temperature

as The Inflammation OF the veriform APP
pendix Is concerned this is giving the
physicians little concern as the innam-
nation Is steadily decreasing, but
kidney complication has made its APP
pearance which at the present tiWe Is
more serious than the appehU lcitIs.T The
physicians are endeavoring 10 ward off

that no operatio will be needed"
