A BATTLE FOR LIFE.
Physicians Making a Heroic Struggle
to Restore Senator Hanna to
Health-Odds Against Them.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Han
ma is passing through the climax of his
illness and on Friday afternoon it was
feared he was dying, but later he rallied
strongly and there is again some hope
that he yet may win the forlorn fight
The odds are much against his recovery,
but the sturdy physique of the man aided
by oxygen and powerful stimulants
brought him through Friday afternoon
when he was sinking rapidly, and posi-
bly, may again. 1t is now question how
long the climax of the fever will last and
how many and severe will be any further
acute attacks, for Fridays spell was so
severe that another probably would wit
ness the end.
Fridays acute attack came in the form
of chill about two o'clock and not long
afterward Senator Hanna passed into
Inconsistencies not to return again I'M
til around six O'Clock. His pulse at this
time ran up to 100 and was so feeble it
was not perceptible at the wrist. Three
hours or so later, however, he had shaken
off the attack to SO great an extent that
DR.. Osler. the Baltimore physician in
attendance, came from the sick room at
9:35 O'Clock and said there had been a
decided Improvement and that the pa
TENTS pulse was much stronger and had
fallen nearly 20 points.

ers of the Nation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-After listening
to speeches by Senators Hopkins and
Clay in support of the Panama canal
treaty the senate yesterday passed the
bill granting assistance to the proposed
Lewis and Clarke exposition at Portland,
Ore. In the house the proposed loan OF
$4,000, 900 to the Louisiana Purchase eX-
position at ST. Louis as provided for in
the senate amendment to the urgent de-
ficiency bill was discussed.
Washington, Feb. 10.-The senate
yesterday passed the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill. The house
devoted the entire session to consider
alton of a contested seat case from the
tenth Pennsylvania district.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE major
portion of the time Of the senate yes
terday was occupied in discussing the
Panama treaty. In the house the Con-
nell-Howell contested election case
from the Tenth Pennsylvania district
was decided in favor of Mr.. Mcconnell
(rep), who was promptly sworn in and
took his seat.

New York, Feb 12-Bradstreet'
says: Gold weather is still bar to
expansion in spring trade throughout
the west, but southern distribution con-
tinues notably active and signs of life
are found in leading eastern markets.
The Baltimore disaster and the begin
ming of hostilities in the far east,
though affecting speculative markets
to some extent, have as yet not had
notable results on trade outside of sec
tons Immediately concerned, though
some of the present great strength OF
prices of most commodities may be at
tributed to the latter development.
Trade and industrial operations betray
effects of conservatism some time ago
predicted, but it is yet too early to
measure the possible extent to which
the seasons turn over will contrast
with the exceptionally large business
done in all lines one year ago.
New York, Feb 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of trade says: War,
fire and cotton were the adverse factors
of the week, yet the country stood the
shocks remarkably we'll, and there are
numerous encouraging symptoms. To
a large degree the outbreak of HOSTILE
ties in the orient and the collapse of the
cotton boom has been discounted, and
the disastrous loss of the confiagration
was offset very largely by the stimulus
it will give TO many industries notably
structural steel. In restoring Balti-
more there will be great activity in the
building trades, while large stocks of
goods must be replaced, and orders filled
by jobbers and manufacturers else
where. Buyers are arriving in this city
in large numbers from all sections of
the country, and there is good demand
for all leading staple lines, with notable
urgency for prompt shipment of cotton
goods. The labor situation throughout
the country is almost devoid of friction.
Failures this week in the United
States are 22S, against 246 last week, 302
the preceding week and 23O the CORE
spending week last year. Failures in
Canada number 25, against 90 last week,
% the preceding week and 20 last year."

SECRETARY HAYS NOTE.
Attitude of the Various Nations on the
Suggestion to Limit the Area
of HOstilities.

Washington, Feb. 13-"To Russia
and Japan, the Washington govern
ment suggests the propriety of limiting
hostilities within as small an area as
possible and of respecting the neutral
ity and administrative entity of China
that China may be free from disturb
ances and foreign interests there from
menace"
This is the substance of the note adj
dressed by Secretary Hay on February
10 to the st. Petersburg and Toxic gov
ernments. On February ip- no.A to
Germany, Great Britain and France,
Mr.. Hay invited those powers concur
rently to address Russia and Japan
with the same suggestion, and on Feb
ruary II this invitation was extended
to Italy, Austria-Hungary, The Neither
lands, Denmark, Spain and Belgium.
Germany was the first to respond,
with a prompt acceptance of the invi-
tation and the promise that she i'm
mediately would address the two COM
batants.
Great Britain was heard from next,
expressing adherence to the principle
laid down in the note, but Withholding
formal acceptance pending an answer
to an inquiry whether the "administra-
ton entity" of China involved Man
churia.
Japan was heard from quickly with
the answer that she would act readily
on the suggestion of the United States
if a similar promise could be obtained
from Russia.
Italy, Austro-Hungary and The
Netherlands expressed sympathy with
the idea and promised an answer after
consultation with other powers. There
is reason to believe that Spain and
Belgium also will accept the invitation.
Russia thus for has been silent and the
attitude of France is one of hesitation
This is the situation at this time
Meantime it is learned that Germany
is addressing the combatants with .
note in substance the same as that OF
Secretary Hay.

Payments Arranged.

Secretary Shaw returned from New
York, where he held conferences at the
sub-treasury with bankers who are to
participate in the Panama canal pay
ment. Secretary Shaw said that there
would be no disturbance of the money
market on account of the financing of
the canal payment. No call will be
made on the banks until the treaty is
ratified, and this is expected within a
few days.
After the conference with Secretary
Shaw the banks sent Sl2,000,000 in
bonds to the sub-treasury, which will
be pledged temporarily to secure de-
posts made with them of government
funds by out-of-town banks. These
funds will be held only few days, but
the additional deposits of collateral
have to be made il accordance with
the law.
One Point Made Clear.
The secretary made clear the point
that the banks would not be compelled
to lose the use of the money through
the transfer to the subtreasury. He
said that warrants 1Or the pay ulenlS
would be drawn on the subtreasury in
New York, and that the demand for
the Withdrawals from the banks would
be made simultaneously with the pres
entation of the warrants for payment.
Matters in Good shape.
Minister Buchanan had long talk
with Secretary Hay respecting condi-
tons on the isthmus He reported that
matters were in very good shape when
he left, and that excellent progress was
making in framing the constitution.
The department admits that Mr.. Bu-
chanan will not return to Panama.
