his fathers illness. The son replied
that he would sail form New York on
Dec. II, but owing to the latest devel
opments II Is now considered very
likely that ne will leave sooner.
Mr.. Reid has not been well since
he returned from the United States
some time ago. Beyond his speech

caused considerable criticism in the
United States, and which was deliv-
cred Immediately after his return, he
has not fulfilled any public engage
ments, while his visits to the embassy
have been very few.
The news OF the seriousness of Mr..
Reds condition became generally
known today, and a procession Of
prominent persons streamed to Dor.
