 IN ARCHIE ROOSEVELT
DIR. RIXEY RELIEVES THE BOY PRACTICALLY OUT OF
 DANGER.

Diphthcria, However, Has Left Him in
 Weakened COndition-Sh0uld be
 Well in Two or Three Weeks Pro-
 vided No Complications Set In--
 President and Dr. Lambert Go to the
 LOngworths for Lunch.
 Washington, March 10-Marked im- provement was shown to-day in the condition of Archie Roosevelt, the pres ident's son, who is i'll with diphtheria. No official bulletins were issued to-day. Surgeon General Rixey this evening ex- pressed the opinion that Archie was practically out of danger so far as the diphtheria is concerned, but that the disease has left him in a somewhat weakened condition. He added, how ever, that if no complications set in the boy should be well in two or three weeks.
 A more hopeful feeling prevails at the White House regarding the sick boy than at any time since the recent SClDelGh III lllH NOllQllAOlss 9O oLAAS ing was the improvement to-day that the president and Dr. Lambert felt that they could safely leave the lad in the care of others, and they went away from the White House twice.
 At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon the president, accompanied by Rr Lam bert, went to Representative Long wort1's residence, where they took luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. Long worth, returning to the White House at o'clock. An hour later President Roosevelt and Dr. Lambert went out for a walk
 Dr. Rixey, the family physician of the Roosevelts, called early to-day to see Archie. Upon leaving he stated that Archie had passed an excellent night, and that his condition was satis- factory, and that he is now convales- cling from the attack of diphtheria. He expressed the opinion that should no complications set in, 1t would be only question of short time before Archie would again be we'll boy.
 It was felt by the physicians that owing to the continued improvement in Archie's condition the daily bulle- tins could be dispensed with beginning to-day.
 DTS. Lambert, Rixey and Kennedy were with the patient for several hours tonight and at II o'clock 1t was am nounced at the White house that Archie was resting easy. DTS. Lambert and Kennedy will emain in the sick room throughout the night. The presi- dent received several callers tonight and etired shortly after ii o'clock.

FRENCH LINER SWEPT
 BY A GIGANTIC WAVE
LA SAVOTE FROM HATRE HAS THE SEVEREST KIND OF
 WEATHER.

Thrush of Water Breaks Door of smok-
 ing Room on Promenade Deck and
 smashes and Carries Away Stairs
 From Main Deck to Deck Above
 Lying in Trough of Sea When Wave
 Sweeps Over Her-Water Invades
 Cabins.
 New York, March 1O.-The French line steamer La Savoie, which arrived to-day from Havre, had gales from the northwest and west from March 8, which changed to a storm from the south on the 7th with very heavy seas. At Il o'clock in the morning a giant wave swept over the vessel from the port side and broke in a door of the smoking room on the promenade deck, stairs from the main deck to the deck above; smashed port light in the pursers room, and caused other slight damage.
 On board were 1,O4S passengers, and  a crowd better pleased to reach port seldom hurries down the gangplank.
 La Savoie ran into nasty weather on the second day out, northwest to north gales increasing in violence until Thurs day, when a monster wave swept the main deck and forced Captain Tour nier to bring his trembling craft to-. The steamer had drifted eight hours before the voyage safely could be re- sumed.
 About il o'clock Thursday morning the Savoie, having safely ridden a mum Der of tall waves, was lying in the trough, when wave measuring, in the eyes of the crew, anywhere from forty five to sixty feet in height broke over the ship from the forward port side. In a second tons of water flooded the vessel, pouring down the grand stair way into the main dining saloon. Oc- cupants of the smoking room were thrown from their feet, and when upon recovering themselves they opened the door to learn what had happened the water from the corridor rushed in upon them.
 TIle flood invaded the cabins and every stateroom where an open door invited entrance, rising at points where 1t was temporarily stayed to a height, 1t was declared, of four feet w. A.. Houghton, of Boston, a passenger, had just entered his stateroom, leaving the door ajar He was swept from his feet, he said, and not little alarmed. The thrush of water disabled the electric light system for a time, and sudden darkness further startled the passen- gers. Many were bowled over but be- yond little wetting none was serious ly harmed.
