HEROIC BATTLE FOR LIFE
POSTMASTER GENERAL PAYNE'S
CONDITION CRITICAL.
After Hard Days Struggle, Physi-
clans Are Hopeful That Patient
May Yet Recover.

Washington, Oct. 3.-After bad night
in which his condition continued eX-
tremely grave, Postmaster General
Payne had sinking spell at five o'clock
Sunday morning. DR.. Grayson was at
his bedside and rallied the patient, but a
second spell occurred about seven
o'clock which was so severe that DR..
Grayson summoned DR.. Magruder. The
two physicians employed heroic meas
ures for an hour. For awhile it was
feared the end was imminent, but the
heart action finally responded crafty
ingly About ten o'clock DR.. Osler ar
rived from Baltimore. He and DR..
Rixey joined Drs. Magruder and Gray
son in a general consultation.
Another sinking spell occurred about
noon, followed by rally. Shortly after
two o'clock the relatives, who were at
luncheon in the apartment down
stairs, were summoned to the
sickroom. and a moment later
Rev DR.. Smith, rector of st. Johns Epis-
copal church, arrived at Mr. Payne's
bedside, when short prayers were had.
This aroused the gravest apprehension.
1t was explained that Mr. Payne had
sinking spell and that the minister was
called at the request of Mrs Payne
when she reached her husbands bed
side. The physicians resorted to slim
ulants and restoratives, and again the
heart action yielded to treatment The
bulletin subsequently issued showed the
remarkable rallying power Of the sick
man, and .momentarily relieved the
tension SO strongly felt throughout the
day, but the fear of recurrence of the
sinking spells still remained.
President Roosevelt called about one
O'Clock in the afternoon and had a talk
with the attending physicians, gaining
from them an accurate knowledge of
Mr.. Payne's condition at that time 1t
was found necessary to administer the
heart remedies in larger doses than upon
any previous day. Heretofore the heart
has yielded to moderate doses. 1t also
was stated that Mr. Payne earlier in the
day had had some trouble in breathing
and that at times he would cry out be-
cause of difficulty to get his breath.
Private Secretary Whitney gave out
statement dated 4:30 p. M, saying:
Postmaster general conscious and
takes nourishment readily. Decided i'm
provement in last hour" At six p. m.
the physicians stated that he had asked
for something to eat, and that when it
was given to him he retained it. They
spoke enthusiastically of his improve
ment, saying he appeared better and
stronger

A recent dispatch dated from Paris
states that there is strong and growing
official feeling in the French capital that
France, Great Britain and the United
States should endeavor to avert the dan
ger of Japan's victory being so great that
she may become the dominating power
in the far east. 1t is said to be quite
likely that, French sympathy being with
Russia, there is such feeling as re-
ported, but it will have no influence
either in England or the United States,
the people of both these countries hav-
ing no disposition or desire to interpose
any obstacle to Japan's success.
