The party vu enthusiastic with their ex

ically to the effect that their trip had been
a continual ovation and that Texas was
the most hospitable State In the Union.
The special train bearing the merchants
arrived at Union Station at.s.20 p. m. About
forty of the wives .and daughters of the
excursionists had met the train at Arling
ton, Mo., but many times this number of
friends and relatives wer at Union Station
to greet the incoming travelers. As soon
as the rear coach of the special, which
backed Into the station, was well under the
train ehed the crowd pushed through the
gates and surged along the platform. When
the train came to a stop, and as the excur
sionists stepped from the coaches, each was
surrounded and hurried away by his friends
and family. But. despite the Intermixing,
the travelers, if not by their garb, by their
bronzed complexions, were easily distin
guishable. MAST LADIES

HUNDREDS WOUNDED IN
ALB'ANY STRIKE RIOTS.
Soldiers Fire Into Crowd From
Fatally Injured Two Merchants Strikers Fracture the Skull
of a Nonunion Man City Under Martial Law and the
Wildest Excitement Prevails.
Albany, X. W., May,. 16. Five hours -of
conference to-night, with all the warring
elements represented, failed to settle the

The strikers waived aU the demands for
the removal of the nonunion men. Tho
Executive Committee of tho United Traction
Company will consider the proposition in
the morning and may accept it and settle
the strike.
William Walsh, one of the men wounded
by a bullet, from a squad of the Twenty
third Regiment defending a car, died at
10:15' to-night.
Leroy Smith, shot at the same time, was
lightly Improved at midnight.
The shooting of Smith and Walsh has a
very depressing effect upon the members of
the Twenty-third Regiment, and to-night,
when eones were hurled at the picket men
t around Quail street barn, they did not lire
.In the dark. Two privates were hit and
hurt, but they did not care to take a chance
by firing.
With the addlUon of the Ninth Regiment
to-morrow there will be over 3.000 guards
men in Albany.

The ladles, when their car was attached
to the special at Arlington, were vocifer
ously welcomed by the merchants, Frank
C. Case was the spokesman for the gentle
men and made an address. He discussed
the principal events of the trip, alluding to
the attentions they had received at the
hands of the ladles of Texas, and remarked
that hid not most of 'the merchants been
already married, manj would hae re
mained In the Lone Star State. One of the
ladles then took theS rostrum and suggested
that no merchants" excursion should again
be allowed to leave St. Louis without an
accompanying contingent of chaperons
elected by the wives of the excursionists.
All the merchants were as a unit that
Texas is bodmlng; that the trip was a
great commercial success, and that the
wealth of the Beaumont oil fields is not
overestimated.

Official Bulletins, However, Say That Her Condition Shows Improve

Warned Attending Physicians That Her Strength Was

San Francisco. Cal.. May 1G Mrs. Mc

This morning shortly before daw n she sank

she responded to the powerful heart stim
ulants which were given to her and durlm;
the day Improved to such an extent that
hope of her recovery, slight though it -was,
was revived.
Her life hangs by a thread. She has
taken no solids since she has reached hero
on Thursday and the physicians do not be
lieve she could survive another lnklne
spell such as 'she experienced this morning.
She suffers little and bears up bravely.

day her mind has been clear. The Presi

though worn by his long vlgtl Is standing
the awful strain with remarkuble forti

planned In his honor ho been abandoned
and the city, with heavy heart. Is watching
Mrs. McKinley's battle for life.
If the end should come, tho President and
his Cabinet will be ready to start back with
the remains within twenty-four hours. Tho
train which brought them here will be used
ou the return trip and alii the arrangements
have been made to go batk by the shortest
route, the. Central and Unlon Pacific to
Chicago, and thence vlathe Pennsylvania
to Washington. s
If Mrs. McKlnley Improves, It Is not be
lieved she will be able to travel before a
week from the coming Monday. All the
members of the Cabinet, with the possible
exception of Secretary Long, will remain
here for the launching.
Secretary Long's daughter Is 111 at Colo
rado Springs, and he Is vary nitprehenslvo
that he mnj be called there at any time.
ALTERNATING HOPE AND
FEAR THROUGHOUT DAY.
Sin Francisco, Cal.. May 16 During the
long, weary watches of the night the Pres
ident did not leave Mrs. McKinley's bed
side. Shortly after midnight when Doctors
lilrschfelder and Gibbons departed and
Doctor Rlxey laid down for' a little rest
there was hope that her life would be
spared.
All day the President watched the doctors'
faces and scanned the demeanor of the
nurses for a sign of encouragement and
they urged him not to despair.
Airs. McKlnlcv had appreciably rallied
during the earlier hours of the night, and
at 10 o'clock was so much better that the
President had gone in next door to show
hlriWlf for a few minutes at a little re
ception which was being held there.
After midnight, for hours there wag no
elgn of lite In, the Scott mansion, except
the night lamp burning low In Mrs. Mc
Kinlev's room. The fog had drifted in with
the coming sea wind, nnd the city lay
swathed In it as In a shrou).

FOR HEART STlSIULAJtTS.
At S o'clock this morning the police pa
trolling on tip toe outside and the little
group of newspaper watchers on the corner
opposite saw a stir In the house. The lights
nickered here and there, a carriage with
lubber tires rolled swiftly up to the door
out of the gloom and Doctor Hlrschfelder
alighted.
Tho word was whispered that Mrs. Mc
Klnley was sinking. For a time It was
thought she was dying, but powerful arti
ficial heart stimulants revived her slightly.
When daylight came the doctors held an
other consultation ana the news of Mrs.
McKinlev's sinking spell was given ojt by
Secretary Cortelyou, but no word of en
couragement. With it went formal notification that all
engagements for the remainder of tho Pres
ident's stay In San Francisco were ranreiiori
The President no longer had the neart
to hold out false hope that he would bo
able to attend any of the functions arranged
here In his horor. The honors of the world
were as nutnlng to him now. His only
thought was for the wife, who was hover
ing between life and death.
SAN FRANCISCO JOY
TURNED TO SADNESS.
He directed that all of Mrs. McKinley's
relatives be advised of tho extremely se
rious condition o her illness and steeled
himself for the worst.
In the city the bulletins at the newspaper
offices announcing that the festivities of the
week were abandoned fell like a pall upon
the multitude. Not until then was It fully
realized that Mrs. McKlnley was at death's
door. There was no resentment, only a
