and it was estimated that at least 500
people who came could not gain entrance

The speech delivered here was "rhe
Moral Issue" though the speaker found
time to make some rather stinging local
references to parties who have differed
with and abused him.
Secretary of State D. Thomas Hehin pre-.
sided at the meeting and introduced Col.
Bryan in a neat and most laudatory
speech as the purest and best man In
the memory of man"
Colonel Bryan said he would depart
from his usual speech for few moments
because" he said, you have in this
town one of the most unfair and veno-

This declaration caught the vast audience
and the cheering continued until the
speaker called for quiet.

wv (special.)-The most trustwor-
thy information from the sick
chamber of Senator Hanna tonight is dis
couraging to his friends and some of them
have almost ceased to nope for his re-
covery A prominent physician of Wash
ington who has made tuphoid fever a
special ty and anet..swith EepaarlEable sue
cess in his treatment of the dangerous
disease, said tonight.
while 1 have not attended Mr.. Han
ma in his illness, still have watched
his case with interest, and from my ex-
perience with the fever and the general
knowledge l have been able to ascertain
of the senator's condition when sticken
| am almost convinced that his illness
will prove fatal though he may live sew
eral days or week.
His age is not so much against him
as his physical condition. There are
numerous cases of recovery from typhoid
fever of men 70 and over. 1t all depends
upon the strength of the heart and the
vitality of the system. In Senator Han
mas case l am almost sure that there is
something back of the disease diagnosed
which will be known to the public later. :"
A gentleman Intimately acquainted with
Senator Hanna said to your correspondent
today:
