ble, coupled with a severe nervous
breakdown, in a man 7i". years of ugo

entertained that there Ib a chance for
his recovery, the likelihood of his Ill
ness having a fatal ending Is now con
ceded. Phvslcluns are In constant at
tendance uron the ambassador.
Tho condition of Mr. Held may be
imagined from the fact that yesterday
there wore three administrations of
oxygen, and a cablegram was pent to
Ogden Mills Reld Informing him or
his father's Illness. The son replied
that he would sail-form New York on
Dec. 17, but owing- to the latest devel
opments If is n6w considered very
likely that he will leave sooner.
Mr. Reld has not been well since
he returned from tjio United States
jsome time ago. ueyond his speech
en Thomas .tefferson in Wales, which
caused considerable criticism in the
United States, und which was deliv
ered 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.
Reld'3 condition became generally
known todro, and a procession of
prominent persons streamed to Dor
chester House to make Inquiries and
to leave cards.
