Washington, Oct. 4. - After a day

Washington, Oct. 4. - After a day
filed with strong hopes alternating
with the gravest fears of almost i'm
mediate dissolution, Postmaster Cen
eral Payne's condition late last night
was declared by his physicians to be
decidedly more encouraging, but they
are unwilling to hazard an opinion as
to the future. In the early hours his
heart action became decidedly weaker
with resultant feebleness of pulse and
Inconsistencies. At times he SUIT
fered intense pain and once OF twice
he cried out at his agony. These
paroxysms were followed by periods
Of exhaustion with brief intervals of
comparative freedom from pain, but
the heart action continued to give the
physicians the greatest concern. Sew

gether. and at one time the physicians
said the postmaster general was az
near death as very few ever get and
survive the day. At 2 o'clock yester-
day afternoon the doctors fully be-
lieved the end was at hand, and the
family, who were at dinner, were sum-
moned. BY Mrs. Payne's direction
Rev. DR.. Cotton Smith, the rector OF
st. Johns Episcopal church, where
the family worship, was sent for, and
on his arrival those at the stricken
mans bedside Joined in prayer. But
again his marvellous recuperative
powers asserted themselves and won
another victory.
Slowly, but very perceptibly, a
change for the better took place and
at 4:30 o'clock a more hopeful bulle-
tin was issued. This was followed at
6:45 o'clock by far the
Best News Of the Day.
Miss Jones, niece of Mrs. Payne,
came from the sick room and with
beaming face told of a wonderful
change for the better. Some time be-
fore that hour, she said, the postmas-
ter general had regained complete
consciousness; had recognized those
about him and seemed almost like
himself again. He had even asked
for food and milk, and when the lat
ter was brought he drank from glass
he himself held. One of the physi-
clans said the improvement was al
most miraculous.
A large number of public officials
and private citizens called in person
to ask about Mr.. Paynes condition
and kilograms of inquiry continued to
pour in from outside points, notably
from Wisconsin,
