REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

condition of the health Of John w. Gates
caused the utmost anxiety to his relatives

has grown steadily worse and his weakness
has become more marked, the Improvement

\ its appearance.
I With the courage for which he has ever
been noted, Mr.. Gates has refused to admit
his growing weakness until he could no
longer conceal from himself that each day
found him farther from health than the
previous one. So alarming was his condi-
ton yesterday Afternoon that a telegram
was sent to New York to Doctor McBur-
ney., who was asked to come into a con-
suitation to consider the case.
He responded to the call as soon as train
could bring him here. He was met at the
station by Doctor May. who has been with
Mr.. Gates during the last ten days. and
who gave history Of the case to Doctor
McBurney. As was told in The Republic
after the arrival of Mr. Gates in Saratoga,
his greatest trouble results from diabetes
and intestinal disorder. T..
Doctor McBurney made thorough exam
fnation and decided that, for the present at
least, no operation is required.
Greatest difficulties have resulted from the
physicians have found it impossible to con-
troll him. He has rebelled agains. being
Ill and he has refused to admit that he Is
anything more than debilitated. His ply
sicians have given positive instructions that
he Should not leave his cottage. but, dis
regarding them. he has gone to the race
track almost every day.
Doctor McBurney impressed upon Mr.
Gates that his case is one of great serious
ness and that, II he wishes to recover, he
must put aside his ambitions and place
himself entirely in the hands of his ply
stefan.
A bed couch was taken to his cottage this
morning, and he has promised not to leave
the house and to remain as much as pos
sible on the couch.
