QUAYS HEALTH GOOD,
IS CAPITOL REPORT
Reports From the South That He Is in
Precarious Condition Declared to
Be Unfounded

Senator Quay's health is at present
good. and not precarious. according to
information coming from his committee
room at the Capitol today No fears are
e7tertained there that the Senator can
not survive the winter. as some rumors
said.
When the Senator went to Florida. as
ne has been accustomed To do every
winter. he was greatly troubled with in
somnia. lie felt the rest at his bunga-
low at St. Lucie would improve his
health and in this he has not been dis
appointed, according to news from his
Capitol headquarters.
Surprise is expressed here that such
rumors got abroad They are attributed
to the fact that Mrs Quay recently
made her usual trip South. Her daugh-
tiers remained here. however, and are
keeping open the Senator's home until
they. too. are ready for a spring trip 60
St Lucie.
Men who have known Senator Qhay's
physical strength ia campaigns and his
recuperative powers afterward are try
lag to allay the anxiety OF other friends
here and are giving assurances that he
