there seems to be no hope of
HEH RECOVERY.
SHE FAILS TO GAIN STRENGTH.

at Her Bedside—Many Callers at
the White House, but Few Ad
mitted.
Washington, June 2.—Mrs. McKinley
continues very weak. Her condition is
not greatly changed from that of yes
terday. but each day that elapses with
out a gain in strength lessens her pow
ers of recuperation. The complaint which
fume near ending her llife in San Francis
oo is still present. It is in a slightly less
aggravated form, tout gives the physicians
and the President much concern. Mrs.
McKinley has shown remarkable vitality,
but her illness has so reduced her
Strength as to leave her very feeble. It
; s f,. a red that unless a change for the
(better soon manifests itself her strength
m ay become so near exhausted as to leave
her without ra/llying power. The news
given out by the physicians in attendance
to-day was not reassuring, though hope
of better things still continues. After a
consultation between Drs. Rixey, Stern
berg and Johnston the following bulle
tin was issued:
Passed Comfortable Night.
‘ .Mrs. McKinley passed a comfortable
night, but her condition has not material
ly changed since the report of yester
day.”
There were no further consultations of
the physicians during the day, but Dr.
Rixey .tailed during the evening and spent
some time with the patient. In response
to inquiries from time to time the state
ment was made that there had been no
change in the condition of the distinguish
ed sufferer.
President McKinley spent most of the
day at the bedside of his wife, though
iate in the afternoon he went out for an
hour's drive. He departed alone, but met
Judge Watson of Ohio, an old friend, on
the way, and the latter accompanied him
to the White House.
There were many callers at the White
House during the day and evening, mak
irg inquints regarding the condition of
.Mrs. McKinley. With few' exceptions they
simply left their cards after being as
sured by the doorkeepers that there was
no change in Mrs. McKinley’s condition.
Physicians in Attendance.
Drs. Rixey and Sternberg both were
Sn attendance at the White House dur
ing the evening, although the latter did
not remain very long. Dr. Rixey was at
the mansion for over two hours and when
he deft for the night, shortly before 11
o'cock, he announced that at that time
Mrs McKinley was resting comfortably,
| as she had done all the afternoon.
Senator Elkins called on the President
during the evening and was with Sim for
about fifteen minutes.

London Telegraph's Suggestion to
British Manufacturers.
London, June 3.—The Daily Telegraph,
in the course of an editorial upon King
Edward's reception of the visiting dele
gation from the New York Chamber of
Commerce, Saturday, says:
“It stamped l the royal seal upon a na
tional welcome. TJhere could have been
no more fortunate suggestion at the out
set of this remarkable visit, of the true
spirit in which American business rivalry
is regarded in Great Britain.”
The paper advocates, as one of the ’jest
means of meeting this friendly rivalry
that British employers, and workmen alike
should visit the United States and ob
serve for themselves American business
methods, and it declares that ‘Hhe fact
of the two countries being so indispensa
ble to each other makes all plans of Eu
ropean industrial coalition against the
United States an idle dream so far as
any British participation is concerned."
THE TROUBLE IN CORUNNA.

ed. The houses of the workmen in Co
runna were yesterday draped in crepe,
bearing the inscription "To the Martyrs
of Yesterday.”
The two anarchists, a Spaniard and an
Italian, arrested here as the result of
the advices from the Marseilles police
that they had projects against the Span
ish ministers, have been liberated owing

were justified.

M’LAURIN’S SCHEME
MAY RESIGN PRIOR TO MEETING
OF CONGRESS.
HAS A CLUB FOR TILLMAN.
INFORMATION WHICH HE MAY USE
WITH EFFECT LATER.
Wnntd Ask Governor to .Appoint Man
of Tillman's Stripe as His Succes
sor—Would Then Meet This Ap
pointee on Hustings in 1!M)2 in
Campaign to Regain His Sent and
in Effort to Reorganise South Car
olina Democracy on Lines Advo
cated by Him—Gov. McSxvceney
Declines to Dlsenss Senator Till
man’s Caustic Letter.
Charlotte, N. C., June 2.—A special to
the Observer from Bennettsvllle, S. C.,
the home of Senator MeLauTin, says there
are good reasons for believing that juist
prior to the meeting of Congress, in De
cember, that Senator McLaurin will re
sign and request Gov. McSweeney to ap
point his successor. Should the senator
do this, which is most likely, he would
expect the Governor to appoint a strong
man representing the same political
views of Messrs. Bryan and Tillman and
the senator would meet this gentleman
in 1902 on the hustings with the purpose
of regaining his place in the Senate. The
senator believes that he has as much
right to define Democratic principles
as has Mr. Bryan, Mr. Till
man or anyone else. Mr. McLaurin
says that Mr. Bryan and Mr. Tillman
both opposed true Democracy and advo
cated Populism, Socialism and Commu
nism, and that he is opposed to these dis
turbing political dogmas and is deter
mined by the aid of his fellow-citizens
and the help of his God to forever bury
these South Carolina disturbers of the
public peace.
One thing is settled: those who know
John L. McLaurin are convinced that
the next eighteen months, in the Palmetto
state, will encompass the fiercest polit
ical battle ever waged within her bor
ders.
One thing that convinces your corre
spondent that the gentlemen managing
this movement are in earnest and are in
the fight to the finish, is this: In a short
time, so the cards announce, a strong
daily morning paper will be established in
the city of Columbia with a brilliant South
Carolinian, now residing in Richmond,
Va., as editor.
McLuurin's Letter Not Arrived.
Columbia, S. C.. June 2.—Nothing sen
sational developed to-day in the senato
rial situation. The anxiously expected let
ter from McLaurin to the Governor did
not come. The rumor that McLaurin had
Just been given a powerful club In the
shape of Information against Tillman,
gives uncertainty as to his answer. If he
has such Information this situation would
be the only one in which he could use
it, as Tillman wiil not be in the cam
paign next year. However, there is little
faith put in these rumors.
The Governor declined to comment on
Tillman’s severe letter. He displayed to
reporters bundles of letters and telegrams
received from this and other states con
gratulating him on refusing to accept the
resignations.

there was a change for the worse which
resulted fatally. At his bedside when he
passed away were Mrs. Herne, his three
daughters and his 5-year-old son.
Mr. Herne was born in Troy, N. Y„
Feb. 1, 1838. He had a beautiful home in

Cullough said:
"John is all right, and I will stand by
him forever. If he did anything wrong
it was for me, and I will be loyal to
him.”

Southern's Ultimatum to Striking
Machinists ia Efleet To-day.
Washington, June the offices of
the Southern Railway Company to-day
it was said no word had been received
either from the striking machinists or
the superintendents of the shops where
they have been employed. Several tele
grams that came late last night stated
that a considerable number of the strik
ers had been around to announce that
they would report for work Monday
morning in conformity to the company’s

STRIKERS NOT DISMAYED.
Seaboard's Importation at Americas
Regarded as n Rlaff.
Americus, Oa., June 2.—The forty strik
ers of the Seaboard shops in Americus
are not in the least disconcerted or scared
at the importation, of the twenty Rus
sians, Italians and Poles, brought here
yesterday, ostensibly to take, their places
in the shopa. The strikers say there ts
not a practical machinist in the entire
lot, and regard the movement as a grand
stand play on the part of the company.
The foreigners are stIH quartered at the
Seaboard shops, where the company has
provided them with cots and rations. The
ccming of the new workmen was no sur
prise to the machinists here, as a delega
tion met the train, but made no effort
to talk to the newcomers. The strikers
are os confident os aver of winning the
fight. There are a down or fourteen en
gines in the Amerioua shops awaiting re
pairs, several of which need complete
overhauling. Only four or five young ap
prentice boys are at work there.
L.AROREH.S ASK FOB PRAYER.
But It Seems They .Are n Bit Satirical
in Their Request.
Chicago, June 2.—Prayer from the Pres
byterian assembly and from preachers of
every religious denomination was request
ed for the success of the eight-hour work
day by the Chicago Federation of Labor
at a meeting here to-day. The Federa
tion formulated a telegram to the synod,
now in session at Pittsburg, and the sec
retary was instructed to send the message
to-night.
From the declaration of President Bow
man and other speakers favoring the
sending of the message it was apparent
that it was intended as a bit of satire
amounting to a rebuke to the synod for
the criticisms recently uttered against
union labor on the floor of the religious
assembly.

truth all of this will stand up."
And over 3,000 people rose to their feet
and greeted the declaration, with cheers
and handclapping.
John Alexander Dowie, true to his prom
ises, made this statement from the plat
form of the Auditorium to-night in the
presence of 5,000 people. It was the cul
mination of a frenzied speech, in which
he denounced everybody and everything
not in Zion, cursed the Pope and the
Roman Catholic Church, spat literally at
Masonry, the newspapers and the bankers
of Chicago, and raged and tore up and
down the stage like a mad man.
"Understand well what I mean,” he con
tinued.. “I will take no counsel In my
methods of government. I have come to
proclaim theocracy, pure and simple, the
government of God, by God and for God,

I tell you democracy has been tried in

but I demand here and now that the
name of God must be placed foremost In
the constitution of the United States and
the supreme authority of God over all
things must be recognized.

1. p. Hazard, financial secretary of the
Colonization and Social Settlement De
partment Of the Salvation Army is au
thority for the statement that secret ne
gotiations are being carried on looking
to a reconciliation between Gen. William
Booth and his son, Balllngton. Father
and son have been estranged for five
years, the son having In the meantime
organized the Volunteers of America. The
cause of the estrangement, according to
Mr. Hazard, was the refusal of Batting

will mean Balllngton'* return to the Sal
vation Army and probably result In the
abolishment of the Volunteers of Amer

A SURPRISE IN STORE.
Supreme Court's Heuinrkahle Posi
tion in Philippine I'nse.
Chicago. June 2.—A special to the Rec
ord-Herald from Washington says:
The Supreme Court has another surprise
in store for the country. Unless it
changes Us mind between now and Oc
tober, the date of its next meeting, the
court will decide the Philippine case in
favor of the government. It will be an
other decision by a divided bench, and
upon most extraordinary grounds, to wit:
First. That the United States has never
declared its Intention to retain the Philip
pine Archipelago indefinitely and the only
declaration of policy which had been
made was in the other direction, looking
toward a mere temporary occupation, the
United States being a sort of a trustee
for the people of the Philippines, as it
was a 'trustee for the people of Cuba.
Second. That in any event the United
Stales at the lime the duty complained
of (the fourteen diamond rings) was col
lected was not in the actual possession
of the Philippines, but that the United
States was waging war for such posses
sion, and such control as the United
States had was limited to the operations
of military authority.

in the War Department in dismissing and
suspending several cadets for mutinous
conduct, has created a situation said to
he unpreeedented in the history of the
Academy. Cadet Charles Telford was sus
pended for a period of one year. Under
ordinary circumstances he would have
graduated In June, 1902. Ills suspension
has the effect, however, of deferring his
graduation for a year. Ills api>olntinenl
is credited to the congressional district
of Utica, N. Y. In anticipation of a va
cancy In that congressional district in
June of next year, a young man named
Jarvis has been selected as Telford's suc
cessor. Although Jarvis will be eligible
for the vacancy in June, 1902, he will not
be eligible in June, 1903, for the reason
that he will have passed the ago limit In
the Interim. The question has therefore
arisen as to whether Jarvis shall lose hie
appointment in the Military Academy on
account of conditions for which he was
not responsible in any way. Although
there has never been a similar case be
fore the department feels there is no help
for Jarvis, and that he will have to loae
his appointment.

ROCKEFELLER'S BENEVOLENCE
MAKES IT POSSIBLE.
FOR SCIENCE AND HUMANITY.
BIG UNIVERSITIES TO CONDUCT
THE WORK.
Mr. Rockefeller's Gift of $200,000
Will lie Expended In the Labora
tories of the Large Unlversltlen of
This Country nnd Cnnuda, Includ
ing the University of Chicago—Tile
First Work Undertaken Will Be
Hie Investigation of the Country's
Milk Supply.
New York, June 2.—The Herald will say
to-morrow:
Within a comparatively few days the
work on behalf of science and humanity
which the newly incorporated Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research is to carry
on will be starter! in the pathological lab
oratories of half a dozen universities ir
this country, and one in Canada, and in
the laboratory of the health department
of this city. Among the centers of the
work will be the University of Chicago.
Indications are that the $200,000 which
Mr. Rockefeller has given as the capital
of the institute is a trifling sum, as com
pared to what he contemplates giving ul
timately to the same cause.
The work will be done at Columbia Uni
versity. Harvard University, the Univers
ity of Chicago, the University of Michi
gan, the University of Pennsylvania,
Johns Hopkins University, McGill
University of Montreal and the
headquarters of the New York
health department. The directors
of tfie new Rockefeller Institute will have
supervision over it, but it will be perform
ed by physicians whom they will employ
and who will work more or less independ
ently in the places mentioned.
The heads of the various pathological
laboratories will have general charge of
the investigation, whether they happen to
be directors of the institute or not. Period
ically the directors, whose Joint Judgment
will be the sole regulator of the expendi
ture of the $200,000 provided, will meet to
dißeuss the result of the work and will
jointly give out the information which It
may have developed through the original
channels.
The work may go on for a year or two
before definite plans are made for a per
manent Institution. The investigation of
the country's milk supply will be the first
important problem of whlu'h the directors
will take hold. Their work Is to be
chiefly bacteriological.
