JUDGE DAY ILL.
The Critical Condition of The Jarist
Brings His Family to
Washington.

Washington, March 13.-The press is
informed by a member of the family of
Justice Day, of the United States SUI
a severe attack of grip. His condition,
it is admitted, is serious. Mrs. Day and
two sons arrived here Wednesday.
Two other sons are away at college,
and, it is stated, will not be sent.for un-
less their fathers condition becomes
worse.
At 1880 o'clock in the afternoon
there was no change in Justice Days
condition. Beyond authorizing the
statement that Justice Day was suf-
fering from 'a severe and acute attack
of grip" and was ga very sick man."
DR.. Hardin, the attending physician,
refuses to discuss the case. 1t is admit
ted by members of the family that JUS
tice Days temperature is high, but on
this point the physician has decided
not to issue a bulletin for the pres
ent, as it is the. wish of Mrs. Day that
no unnecessary alarm be caused about
her husbands condition.
Two sons with Mrs. Day are in con-
slant attendance upon the patient, and
two other sons, one at the University
of Michigan and the other at q school
in Asheville, N. c., are being kept close
ly advised as to their fathers illness.
Justice Day was suffering from a
slight cold when he left Canton for
this, city to take the oath as a mem
Der of the supreme court. The bad
weather of the past week aggravated
this cold into a severe attack of grip.
His physician denies. that there are yet
evident pneumonia symptoms.
Admiral Dewey was among the many
friends who called Thursday to in
fquire about Justice Days condition.

HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
Making of Trade Treaties with China
Hampered by Lack of Power
of Chinese Agents. !

Washington, March 13.-The plenipo-
tentiaries of the powers who are en-
gagged at Shanghai in negotiating trade
treaties with the Chinese commissions
ers have discovered what they regard
as flaws in the credentials of the Chi
nese agents which may make it impos-
sible for them to bind their govern
ment in treaty form. The matter al
ready has been brought to the atten-
ton of the state department and Mr..
Conger is asking for advice, he, too,
being engaged in the negotiations. 1t
appears that the Chinese commission
ers must memorabilia the throne be-
fore the treaties will have force, and
the powers object to this lack of au-
thority' on the part of the commission
ers. Because Mr.. Conger will have
to refer any treaty he may drawup to
his w government here for approval,
precisely as the Chinese commission
,rs> must do on their side, the United
States government is not in a position
to protest very strongly against the
sufficiency of the Chinese credentials,
so that Mr.. Conger will go on with
this treaty making, while doing his
best to have the Chinese credentials en-
larged..
