Matters.
 Washington, Feb 7.-Senator Hanna passed to-day without any radical
 change in his condition. His extreme
 weakness was more marked than here
 tofore and his temperature was little
 higher. Those attending him, however, insist there is nothing significant in
 these conditions and that there are no
 developments on which to change the expressed belief that the outlook is hopeful for the senator's recovery. There was a consultation between Dr. Rixey, surgeon-g general of the navy; Dr. Osler of Johns Hopkins and Dr.
 Brewer of New York at 4 o'clock, but 1 the only important development was a
 decision to omit the evening call of the attending physician so as to give the patient more rest.
 After the consultation the following
 bulletin, signed by Drs. Rixey and Os- Ter, was issued:
 Senator Hanna is doing well. His morning temperature was little higher but the hearts action is good
 and there are no complications" | It was announced that Dr. Edward Garter of Cleveland, Senator Hanna S family physician, will reach here to-
 morrow at the request of the senator.
 The senator was very restless last night and gained little sleep. This, to-
 gether with the general course of the fever, accounts for his weaker condi- ton and increased nervousness to-day. His temperature has shown steady net gain for several days with the usual
 fall of one or two degrees over night. The bulletin given out immediately after Dr. Rixey hade his call about g o'clock this morning, follows:
 No decided changes in Senator Han mas condition this morning. Tempera-
 ture 101 6-10; pulse 9O.'
 l This was a rise of 6-1e of a degree l in twenty-four hours and of 1 1-16 since J Friday morning, when the first official
 announcement was made of the presence iof typhoid. Milk constitutes the sena- tors nourishment. He i$ too weak to l talk except an occasional few words to his attendants. Mrs. Hanna and Miss
 Phelps, his niece. are the only ones per fnitted to see him, besides the physi- clans and trained nurses.
 1 Mrs. Hanna has beenia steady attend l ant at his bedside and shows the eff fects Of the strain sila is undergoing. 1 H. H. Hanna of Thomasville, Ga, brother of Senator Hanna, is expected 1 late tonight. He has retired from bus mess and Mrs Hanna wanted him here to advise with her over the situation. Senator Hanna frequently asks for his
 secretary, Elmer Dover but pretexts l have been used to shift his attention from business matters. MT. Dover had expected to go to Chicago to attend an | important meeting of a subcommittee
 of the Republican National committee but remained here on account of the
 senator's condition. MT. Hanna was 1 not told of the reason for MT. Dover's
 remaining here and believes that it
 was due to Illness in his secreary's; $;
 family. He has made frequent inquir- ies upon this point and Mr. Dover to
 avoid having the senator's attention
 focused on business matters, has found 1 1t necessary to avoid seeing the sena-
 tor, except once since the illness reach l ed a serious stage. On that occasion 1 the senator showed that he was devot- l ing considerable thought to business I cares and question about one matter concerning which he wanted to give in- 1 structions led him to make numerous
 other inquiries. It is this mental ef-
 fort which those attending him are
 earnestly striving to avoid.
