The first bulletin OF the evening VT !
issued at p. M. and was as follows:
Senator Hanna was not so well this
afternoon. but he has rallied. His pulse
Is now 1870; respiration, 40; tempera-
ture, 1886" A statement was made
accompanying the 6 p. m. bulletin that
the rally was due to injections Of
brandy and water under the skin. The
physicians used oxygen continuously
throughout the afternoon. The rally
from third sinking spell was SO un-
usual that the physicians themselves
were astounded. They said they be-
lleved it due largely to the patients
wonderful efforts to aid in their heroic
measures.
It was stated that the occurrence Of
the sinking spells does not imply that
these will continue. and that simply
because OF the previous depressions

Improvement in the senator's condition
which developed in the course Of the
day was regarded as only temporary.

troops. Today all other Russians ~
the city have been ordered into one
large house, where they will be de-
tanned. awaiting action of the authori-
ties as to their disposal. The Russian
minister at Seoul has been requested
by the Japanese minister thru neu-

Of the Japanese. Russians claim the
Japanese fired first, dispatching two
torpedoes at the Korietz when she tried
to leave the harbor on the 11th. The
Japanese claim in turn the Korietz
fired first. There is no news OF the dr.
rival OF any more Russian troops in
Korean territory and Seoul remains
quiet. The Japanese have demanded
the use of several government build
ings in the city to be used as bar
racks for the troops.
ON English and Italian cruisers are
a number of Russian refugees. just
how many is not known. Only
wounded are on the British vessel.

Sudden Change for the Worse.
AT intervals Of two hours during
the night the senator had been aroused

he Immediately would resumehis sleep.
The doctors supplemented this an

the condition OF the senator at that
time surpassed all their expectations.

distress caused hurried summons for
both physicians.

On their almost instant arrival his
pulse was beating at the alarming

Then within space Of three minutes

himself together in what the doctors
and those at the bedside regarded as
q most miraculous manner.
