DR.. e. p. Carter, of Cleveland, one
of the attending physicians, made the
following statement regarding Mr.,
Hanna's illness:
Senator Hanna died quietly at 20
minutes of seven this evening after q
most superb fight against very viru-
lent attack of typhoid fever. The sem
ator had not been we'll for some weeks,
but had been confined to his bed only
during the past 15 days. From the
carly course Of the disease there was
no evidence as to the intense severity
Of the infection and the outlook at
first seemed bright. Since Sunday, the
9TH, the progress Of the fever became
| more marked, there being a gradual
rise in the temperature from day to
day, and by Wednesday the evidences
Of severe toxic condition were such
rs to make the physicians in attend
ance anxious as to the ultimate out
come, though counting some on Mr..
Hanna's indomitable will they con-
tinued to be hopeful.
1.-THE change for the worse came early
yesterday morning and was followed by
g gradual failure Of his strength, which
already had been overtaxed by the Sc
verify Of the disease. His wonderful
|recuperative power was such that,
though the end had been expected at
almost any time during the early hours
Of yesterday morning, he chung tena-
ciously to life until last evening, when
he succumbed."
