Washington. Feb. 5.--Senator Hanna's. illness is officially pronounced by his phy- sicians to be irregular typhoid. that is. typhoid fever with the fever symptoms less regular and marked than in the pronounced typhoid disease
 It Is stated that there are no organic complications to add to the seriousness of the case, but the Senator at the time of the attack was in literally worn out condition. so that his extreme physical weakness and nervous depression. cou- pied with his age. 6s years, and frc- quent rheumatic attacks, makes the case one of much more gravity than an or-s dinary attack of typhoid.
 The crisis of the fever is not expected before the middle of next week. The Senator is entirely conscious, and today insisted on some papers being brought to him for his signature. but was 50 weak that when he was put off two or three times he dropped of into a slumber from exhaustion. He gained considerables rest during the day, but to an extent hiai sleep was the result of his weakness
 e;oAfdent of Recovery
 His physicians tonight expressed com fidence in the Senator's recovery. but ad~ mitted that even if no complications orr unforeseen developments of any kind ces cur. recovery will be a matter of weeks and will require, meanwhile, the most careful and painstaking nursing.
 No one save Mrs. Hanna, Mss Phelps. the Senator's niece and Elmer Dover, his secretary are permitted to see him asiGo from the doctors and two trained nurses.
 President Roosevelt called at the Ar lington Hotel during the day 10 inquire about Senator Hanna's condition. He saw Mir. Dover. with whom he conversed for ten minutes about the sick man
 The physicians gave some considera- tion to the fact that most of the Sena- tors immediate kin are out of the city and that several Of them arc as far away As TnomasviIle, Ga.. but decided that for the present at least there was no occa- sion to send for them.
 May Go to Thomasvi1ls. It is hoped to bring about sufficient improvement in Senator Hanna's condi- tion to permit his removal to Thomas vilIe.
 Five physicians were in attendance to- day, being Doctors Rixey, the family phy- sician, pr. Magruder; pr. Brewer from New York, pr. Behrend. an expert. who examined the Senator's blood for typhoid indications, and Dr. Olser. an expert diag- nostician from Baltimore. who will cc1s 1 tinue in conspltation with the other physi- eians during the Senator's. illness. The physicians are unable to say where the Senator caught typhoid fever. Therd Is typhoid epidemic at Columbus, O., where the Senator visited last month. He left there about the 18th ult., and became i'll nine days after that time, the length of time that medical authorities give for the breaking out of the fever after infec- tion.
 | A great number of inquiries, telegraphic, mail and personal, are reaching here about Senator Hanna's condition.
 The following statement was issued i'm. l,mediately after a consultation of the Ephyslcians over Senator Hanna's case shortly before ' o'clock this evening:
 "Dr: osler of the Johns Hopkins Hos- pital of Baltimore, who examined Mir. Hanna several days ago, called today ana Magruder. After the consultation pr. Rixey issued the following statement; The Senator's general condition is good4 There were no complications. His tenn perature at 6 o'clock was 101.6 and his pulse sO.'"
 Physicians Statement. Dr. Osler immediately retufned to Bal- timore. Dr. Rixey called to see the Sem ator shortly after 8 o'clock His object was simply to take MT. Hanna temper ature. which he found at that time to be log 2-5, higher, he remarked later, than it had been at any time since he has been attending the Senator. This. however. the doctor did not consider alarming, as it might be due to certain local causes not directly the result of fever. The o'clock | call was the last Dr. Rixey intended to make for the night unless something un- expected should occur.
 The most satisfactory aspect of the casa today apparently to the Senator's family and friends was the cheerful and bright manner of the Senator, despite his almost utter prostration. Late tonight the physi- clan declared that there is nothing ims mediately alarming in Senator Hanna's condition H-ovided unexpected complica- tions do not manifest themselves. but they acknowledge it is yet too early to forecast the result of the sickness.
