Change Of Climate Apparently Too
Sudden and Attack Of An Old Trou-
BILE is Brought on-Disease Yields to
Treatment and the Patient is Greatly
Improved Today.

Newbury. N, H., June 26.-Secretary
of state John Hay was prostfateo ny
an attack uraemla at his summer nome
last evening, but early today his con-
d;tion had been relieved by the local
physicians and two Boston speclallsts
and it was expected the secretary
would be soon in his usual health. The
attack, which was similar to others
experienced by the secretary during
recent years, was attributed to cold
contracted on his journey from Wash
ington to Newbury last Saturday.
Secretary Hay began to be in pain
early yesterday. Remedies which had
given relief on a previous occasion
were applied, but failed to help him
and DR.. Cain was called from New
York. He found that In changing the
climate from Washington to the cool
er temperature of the Lake Sunapee
region, the secretary had ta-
ken a severe cold and that the organs,
weakened by the previous attack. had
been seriously affected. Upon learning
this Mr.. Hay desired specialists should
be summoned and as soon as possible
Drs. Scudder and Murphy were on the
way here by special train from Bos-'
ton. They reached the bedside of the
secretary about midnight. A quick but
complete examination of the patient
was made and it was seen his condi-
ton, while it was exceedingly painful,
was not, for the time at least, serious.
showed Improvement and the necessity
of an operation, which had been dis
cussed, was averted. The latter part
of the night the secretary grew stead
lily better and by morning had regained
strength which had been exhausted by
hours of incessant pain. On account
of the organs affected by the cold,
however the physicians ruled the sec
retary should remain in bed a day or
two.
F. Before leaving for Boston, DIR.
Scudder gave out the following bulle-
tin: Mr. Hay is suffering from the
effects of a chill caught on the journey
from Washington. The attack is sim
liar to one he had four years ago. This
morning Hay is resting comfortably
and expects to be about in few days.
No further bulletins will be issued"

performance of their duties under the
exclusion law, and see to 1t that MEM
bers of the exempt class coming to this
country are provided with proper GER

cepted at any port of the United States,
and will guarantee the bearer against
any harsh treatment. Such treatment,
indeed, will be the cause of the IN
stant dismissal of the offending OFF,

In addition to the presidents orders,
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruct

Chinese government and individuals.
1t is anticipated that the action taken
by this government to meet the objec-

the possibility of serious trade diff

facturers of this country.
