Governor LII|ey
Rapidly Sinking
CONDITION MARKEDLY CHANGED
FOR THE WORST.
HIS CHANCES ARE VERY POOR
Liable to Pass Suddenly Away at Any
Time, Says Dr.. Graves, While He
May Linger for Several Days.

Hartford. Conn, April 20.-That
Governor Lilley has lost the fight which
he has so bravely waged against the
illness with which he was stricken two
weeks ago was much more manifest
by the reports of the attending physi-
clans during the day. Tonight the
governors respiration was much in
creased and the pulse had reached 104,
with a temperature of 101. His con-
ditiOn is much weaker and more pro-
foundly unconscious than at any time
during his illness.
Condition Has Become Critical.
After passing several comfortable
days and showing signs of increased
strength, thereby raising the hopes of
his family and the physicians that
there was perhaps a chance for ulti-
mate recovery, the governor suddenly
became weaker last night and gradu-
ally lapsed into an unconscious state.
The unconsciouSness and a gradual
weakening continued through the fore
noon up to the issuing of the o'clock
bulletin, when his condition had be-
come critical. At that time he was
perceptibly weaker and had several
sinking spells. There was a marked
disturbance of the stomach when nour-
ishment was given, and he showed not
the least sign of feeling when hyper
dernic injections were given, which in
itself showed how critical his condition
was.
Marked Change for the Worse.
This condition continued through
the afternoon, with signs of increasing
weakness and frequent sinking spells.
DIR. Frederick G.. Graves, the family
physician, who had returned to his
home in Waterbury, was summoned,
and arrived at the house late tonight.
After an examination of the governor
he had consultation with DR.. Charles
c. Beach, who has been attending the
governor in conjunction with DR..
Graves. DIR. Graves at midnight stat
ed that until this. evening he had not
seen the governor since yesterday
morning. The governors condition. he
said, 'is markedly for the worse. 1t
is in every way more serious; he is
much weaker and more profoundly un-
conscious. While he swallows, he does
so with much difficulty The collapse
of last night seems to have been due
to the heart. While his pulse is quite
regular now, 1t was much more rapid
during the collapse. Unless a marked
change takes place within few hours
the chances are very poor He is not
taking the same amount of nourish-
ment that he has The heart action
is the most serious symptom at pres
ent and the respiration is very much
increased. In conjunction with that
condition, the pulse is now about 104
and the temperature 101."
Very Slight Hope.
DR.. Graves said he had seen cases
like this when the patient fingered
several days. HE is liable at any
time to pass suddenly away, while he
may linger for several days. There is,
however, a very slight hope that there
may be a change for the better, and
every effort will be continued by those
in attendance"
No Change at This Morning.
Hartford, April 21-There was prac-
tically no change in the governor S
condition at two o'clock this morning.

Constantinople, April 2O.-Sultan
Abdul Hamid is waiting in his palace
for whatever may befall He has not
taken to flight, and his grand vizier,
Tewfik Pasha, has announced that,
without fear. the sultan will remain
with his family and accept resignedly
the fate which has been prepared for
him and his country.
Invading Lines Envelope the City.
Tewhk Pasha and the minister Of
war, Edhem Pasha. who sent in their
designations to the sultan late last
hight, decided to withdraw them today
md the grand vizier is spending most
Of the time with his majesty. Nazim
Pasha is still in command of the gar
rison, but no preparations have been
made to offer any resistance to the
advance of the Salonica troops. The
eonstitutionalist lines now envelope
(he city, but the commander in chief,
General Husni Pasha, is still at Had
lmkoi. and there is little likelihood
NAT the invading army will enter the
dtV before tomorrow night or the fol-
owing day.
Investment Army on Good Terms With
Citizens.
II is understood that the Salonicans
have submitted to the government a
list of persons whose punishment is
demanded for completely in the recent
nnutiny This list includes deputies,
journalists and theobogians. But ap-
parently there is the utmost good feel
ing between the invaders and the resi-
dents Of the city, many of whom today
visited the camps of the Salonica
troops and were received Hospitality
by the soldiers.
Two proclamations, signed by the
commanding general of the army of
investment, and addressed respectively
10 the citizens of Constantinople and
the garrison, were issued today. They
have had a reassuring effect.
Capitol Troops Join Invaders.
The Constantinople garrison is de-
Herting to the side of the constltu-
honalists The capitol troops have
been leaving the city in small patches
Bince early on Sunday, but the out
ward flow set in heavily today. 1t is
estimated that about four thousand
hnen have gone over to the invading
army without opposition from their
officers or comrades. One party took
liong a battery of machine guns with
borses and full ammunition wagons.
None Of those attempting TO join the
)enstitutionalists without arms We're
Ecepted
Strangely enough. a large part of the
yBrrisou was given leave OF absence TO
lay. only about five thousand troops
)eing kept in barracks. The princi-
Sal railroad, that to San Stsfano. ran
Dscial trains throughout the day to
,ec ommodate thousands more than the
Pgular trains could carry. Just as the
fain on which the correspondent of
he Associated Press was a passenger
vas ready to leave the station dozen
~ more Salonica. cbaSseurs who had
deserted from the palace guard came
n double quick time down the plat
form with Mausers in their hands and
packages full of cartridges. They
Slimbed into the third class carriage.
