No Hope of Recovery Held Out by the Attending

! CANTON, Dec. 2.— At 12 o'clock to-
I night Dr. Phillips called at the
I McKinley home. He reported that
* there was but Blight change in
the patient's condition. She was
breathing heavily, but otherwise
her symptoms were not worse. Dr.
Phillips retired for the night with In
structions that he be called if anything
happened.
CANTON, 0., Dec. 2.— At an early
hour this morning Mrs. Nancy Allison
McKinley, the venerable mother of the
president, was stricken with paralysis,
and her death is believed to be only a
question of a short time. Not since
Mrs. McKinley was stricken has there
been a faA'orabla feature in her condi
tion. That the attack would ultimately
end in death was the first fear of the
family on discovering her illness, and
the consultations of the attending phy
sicians have tended to confirm this be
lief. Every effort is being made to
render the patient comfortable, and
what will doubtless prove to be her
last illness as free from suffering as
possible. The paralysis, when it first
appeared, was not of a serious form,
and seemed only to have affected her
vocal chords. She was able to walk
from her own bed chamber to that of
her daughter, Miss Helen McKinley, to
give her the first intimation of the at
tack, and at that time seemed to be
in possession of all mental and physical
faculties, but soon afterward a change
was noticed and in the afternoon she
sank into a condition of seml-consclous
ness, in which she has since remained.
The president and all other members
of the McKinley family not already
here ara en route to the bedside of
Mother McKinley tonight. A message
from the president this evening, ad
dressed to his brother Abner, who has
been visiting at the home of their moth
er for several days, telling of his de
parture, caused the mother much cheer
and comfort. The president had not
been summoned to the bedside of his
aged mother. But true to the devotion
he has always shown for his wife and
MRS. WILLIAM M'KINLEY SR.
mother he could no longer remain,
knowing that his mother was seriously
ill. Without waiting for the telephone
message which had been arranged for
at 5 o'clock he began preparations for
coming to Canton. He will reach here
at 10:26 tomorrow morning.
Mrs. A. J. Duncan, of Cleveland, a
daughter of Mother McKinley, who is
in Chicago visiting her daughter Sarah,
who is attending school there, tele
graphed this evening that she would
be in Canton tomorrow morning. Miss
Helen McKinley makes her home here
with her mother.
STRICKEN IN THE NIGHT.
"Mother" McKinley must have 'uotr.
stricken some time during last night,
but the first intin>at ;< iii she had of
any change in her eo.iciition was when
she awoke this mOinlng mm l-.>unr3 her
self unable to speak. She walked to
the room of her daughter and aroused
the latter. At once Miss McKinley
saw that something had happened.
She awakened the other members of
the family and a physician was called.
He at once pronounced the trouble
paralysis. "Mother" McKinley had
been slightly ill for several days with
a mild attack of the grip. She had
been up and about the house and no
serious results from her illness were
apprehended. Her son, Abner McKin
ley, of New York, arrived in Canton on
Tuesday, and his mother seemed to be
greatly cheered by his presence. Yes
terday she was so bright and cheerful
as to cause the family to remark on her
improvement, Mr. McKinley saying he
had not seen his mother looking so
well and rugged for a number of years.
That being her condition when she re
tired last evening, the blow to the fam
ily upon discovering what had come
upon her during the night, was a sad

Executive in Hurrying to liis
Mother's Bedside.
one. During the forenoon a letter
from the president was received. It
was read to the aged sufferer and in
response to questions if she understood
its contents, she nodded her assent.
Abner McKinley communicated with
the president as soon as he learned
the serious nature of the illness of his
mother, and the president asked that
he be advised immediately of every
change. Appointments were made for
communication by telephone and tele
grams were also exchanged frequently.
Soon after noon, Abner McKinley noti
fied the president that the sufferer had
promised to communicate further at 6
o'clock in the afternoon. The presi
dent did not wait for the 5 o'clock mes
sage. He responded: "Tell mother I
will be there," and at once prepared
to start for Canton.
END IS COMING.
What- was feared this morning when
Mrs. McKinley was stricken, is tonight
regarded as almost a certainty; that
is, the early death of the president's
mother. As the day advanced she
grew gradually worse and the mem
bers of the family felt that she was
slowly sinking, although after she fell
into the semi-comatose state early in
the day there was scarcely an appre
ciable change. Everything that is pos
sible Is being done to add to her com
fort and to postpone the final scene as
long as possible.
Inquiries concerning the beloved wo
man are coming from all quarters, a
flood of telegrams having started im
mediately after the news of the illness
was flashed over the wires. Solicitous
friends from all parts of the country
are asking to be kept informed of her
condition.
Dr. Phillips, the attending physician,
tonight gave the family tittle more
hope than on his earlier visits. He
expressed the belief that death was
inevitable from the present illness and
that the only uncertainty was the
time when it would occur. It might
be In a very short time, he said, pos
sibly not for several days, and there
is a chance of a rally and postpone
ment of death for some weeks. He
thinks the developments of the night
will decide the matter. He expects no
material change before morning, al
though he arranged to call at arty time
dxiring the night that he may be sum-
moned. A change for the better by
morning he would regard as an indi
cation of a temporary rally and that
the end will not come for some time.
Should the morning condition be for
the worse he expects the patient to
sink very rapidly. The disease, he
says, is not primarily paralysis, but
senility, the result of old age, which
has produced the partial paralysis. In
such cases, he says, there is a general
breaking down of the powers, and
nothing left upon which to build up
strength, and the basis of recovery.
Dr. Phillips and Abner McKinley
were seen at 10 o'clock tonight, just
after they left the bedside of "Mother"
McKinley. Mr. MeKinley thinks his
mother is sinking very fast and fears
that the end is not far off. He says
she barely recognizes members of the
family and seems to be growing weak
er rapidly. Dr. Phillips said: "Mrs.
McKinley is barely conscious and Is
sinking very fast. She may not last
longer than morning, but the indica
tions at this time are to the contrary."
Mrs. McKinley comes of the race of hardy
pioneers who laid the foundation of the
American republic. She was Miss Nancy
Campbell Allison, and was born at New Lis
bon, 0.. in ISO 9. Her family originally came
from England to Virginia, thence to Penn
sylvania and finally settled permanently in
Ohio. She was married to Wm. McKinley Sr.
Jan. 6, 1829, and was living in a 2-story frame
house, still standing near Niles, Q., when
her distinguished son was born, Jan. 29,
1543. The removal from Niles to Mahoning
county was prompted by a desire to give
her children an academic education. Mrs.
McKinley was a woman of sterling quali
ties, frugal, industrious, pious and proud of
her son. Her patriotism was strong and pas
sionate and her intellectual power was truly
wonderful. Her husband died Nov. 24, 1892.
Like the mothers of Garfield and Grant,
she lived and rejoiced to see her son presi
dent of his and her country.

over twenty years ago he was away from
his mother much of the time until he retired
from congress to make the canvass for gov

to 1896 as governor he went to Canton fre
quently to visit his mother and he was with
her from January, 1896, until he went to
Washington last March. Previous to en
tering public life the president was always
located near his parents, and spent much
time with them.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.— President
McKinley left the city at 7:20 o'clock
tonight over the Pennsylvania road to
hasten to the bedside of his sick mother
at Canton, where he will arrive to
morrow. With him went Judge Day,
assistant secretary of state. The presi

for his departure and during the after

business awaiting his attention. He

TO TRY CRISPI.
ROME, Dec. 2.— Today the chamber
of deputies appointed a commission of
five to inquire into the charges against
Signor Francesco Crispi, former pre
mier, in connection with the Bank of
Naples scandals and the alleged illegal
traffic in decorations.The proceedings
are the result of the recent decision of
the Italian court of cassation, which
quashed the judicial indictment
brought against him on . the ground
that the ordinary tribunals of justice
were not competent to d^al with such
charges brought aginst a former mem
ber of the government or his conduct
while in the government. The court of
cassation held that such charges must
be dealt with by parlfament, which
was the contention of Signor Crispi
and the judicial decisions were thrown
out. The special commission was ap
pointed after an impressive speech by
Signor Crispi, in which he declared
that he desired the most ample and
complete discussion of the whole ques
tion and did not dread the light which,
ho said, could reveal nothing against
him.
"I am the victim of calumny," he as
serted, "and should have brought suit
against my calumniators if the matter
had not been referred to the chamber."
Signor Crispi recalled his past labors
on behalf of Italy, and he admitted
that there had been times when he
had erred. He claimed, however,
from his judges, an unbiased judg
ment, and asserted that he was pre
pared to testify before the commission
and to omit nothing so that the matter
might be probed to the deepest, adding
pathetically, "but it will be very hard
at seventy-eight, after devoting sixty
three years to the service of my coun
try."
This passage of the speech provoked
violent interruption, and the president
of the chamber formally cautioned two
Socialist deputies wno were particular
ly virulent. Signor Crispi, after order
was restored, said: "I remain calm
even in the face of my adversaries in
vectives. I have a serene conscience;
and I shall die, when my time comes,
with the name of Italy upon my lips.
But I ask to be allowed to pass my
last days quietly. If Italy needs me, I
shall always be ready to serve her; but
I do not have and never have had am
bition for nower."
At the conclusion of his speech a
number of the deputies gathered about
him to congratulate him and to shake
his hand.

PREDICTS CONFISCATION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.— The hearing
given by the interstate commerce com
mission to the representatives of the
railroads, which have'petitioned for an
extension of time in -which to compiy
■with the car coupler laHv passed in 1893,
was resumed today. William Brown,
general solicitor of the Chicago & Alton
railroad, replied at some length to the
protest made by Mr. Gompers yester
day against any extension to roads
which had made no effort to comply
with the law. He spoke, he said, for
the stockholders of the railroads who
were as much entitled to receive their
dividends as the laborers working for
the companies were to their wages. On
behalf of 300 of the employes of this
road, Mr. Brown also presented to the
commission a petition for a reasonable
extension. It was a practical and
physical impossibility, he said, to com
ply with the law. To grant a reason
able extension would bring every road,
especially trunk lines, into active
sympathy with the law; to refuse
would be to punish these who had com
plied.

ian statesman since the days of
Cavour, is called upon to face, in his
extreme old age, not accusations c£
political crimes, but ordinary felonies.
He has already been subjected to the
humiliation of magisterial examina
tion in connection with charges of com
plicity in the gigantic frauds that
wrecked the Bank of Naples, the Bank
of Roma, the Bank of Sicily, and other
kindred institutions. The Crispi cabi
net was driven from office as the re
sult of these scandals. In each case
the insolvency of the bank appeared
to have .been brought about through
the blackmailing extortions to which it
wag subjected by leading politicians
and government officials of the day.
Most of this dishonesty took place dur
ing the administration of Crispi.
When the accusations, recently be
fore the courts and now before the
special commission of the chamber of
deputies, were being reviewed, with
talk of prosecution, Signor Crispi has
tened from Naples to Rome, demanded
an audience with the king, and de
manded that his majesty put an end
to what Crispi characterized as the
"campaign of injustice." The ex-pre
mier, according to the story, declared
that unless his persecutors were called
off, he would defend himself to the
last, adding: "In such a case, sir, two
persons will go into exile — I, as a poor
man and you with your millions."
The Socialist press interpreted this
audacious language to be a threat of a
disclosure, that, in consequence of a
tip, King Humbert had saved the
whole amount of his large deposits in
the Bank of Naples, just before the
crash came.
PERU IS AFTER
RECIPROCITY.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.— Peru is the
first of the South American countries
to open negotiations with the United
States for a reciprocity treaty under
the provisions of the Dingley law. The
negotiations were begun through the
Peruvian minister here, Senor Eguig
uren, and at the same time the author
ities in Peru took action which has
given much satisfaction to the state
department here. This was in introduc
ing a measure granting authority to the
president of Peru to conclude the reci
procity treaty without the usual for
mality of having it submitted to the
congress of that congress. In recogni
tion of this step our minister, Mr. Dud
ley, expressed to Peru the satisfaction
felt by the American government.
The negotiations have proceeded
roads rendered their excuses to the
commission and In each instance esti
mated the time required for the full
equipment of their individual lines. All
united, however, in the request of Mr.
Cowen for a general five-year exten
sion. Lack of funds, reduced earnings,
want of shop facilities and the difficulty
of determining the safest and most eco
nomic appliances were the main reas
ons, advanced for delinquencies.
Ex-Congressman Payson, of Illinois,
representing the Southern Pacific road
in the course of his remarks, suggested
that the commission make the follow
ing rough draft of an order of exten
sion:
The period within which every common
carrier owning cars used In interstate traf
fic shall comply with the provisions of the
act is hereby extended to Jan. 1, 1903; but,
provided that any such common carrier in
default as to equipment with couplers or
with train brakes as required in said act,
in whole or in part, Jan. 1. 189S, shall, dur
ing each calendar year thereafter, make good
at least 20 per cent of such default in equip
ment, or, in default of such partial perform
ance, the provisions of said act shall be ap
plicable to all cars of such common carrier
not properly equipped under said act. All
new cars shall be properly equipped before
use.

VIENNA. Dec. 2.— lt is evident that
the standrecht was not proclaimed a
moment too soon at Prague. Well
dressed men, it is said, rode on bicycles
through the city and the suburbs mak
ing lists of the German places, marked
for attack; and the work of the rioters
being done in accordance with these
lists, and in many places simultane
ously, prevention was almost impos
sible. Goldsmiths' and jewelers' show
cases were emptied in a few minutes.
Women carried baskets to take home
the contents of grocery and provision
stores, while furniture and other
articles too heavy to carry were want
only destroyed. If the troops had not
used their swords and bayonets freely,
Prague might have been burned from
end to end.
The parliamentary deadlock con
tinues. Baron Gautsch, the new pre
mier, has made no progress toward a
compromise satisfactory to the rival
factions, and it begins to be feared
that the present reichsrath will never
reassemble. Certain it Is that If the
reichsrath meets with Dr. yon Abra
hamovies in the chair, the same dis
orderly scenes will occur as before.
Riots, more or less serious are re
ported from Innspruk, Brunn, Linz
and Saaz. In some cases It Is alleged
that the disturbances have been en
couraged by the municipal authorities.
Generally the Bohemian Jews suffered
most.
A report is current tonight, though
as yet unconfirmed, that a mob at
Prague attacked the soldiers and a
sanguinary encounter ensued. Ac
cording to this rumor the troops fired
four volleys, killing twenty-five rioters
outright and wounding many.
The ambulance association at Prague
has Issued a report showing that with
in the last twenty-four hours, four
persons have been killed, 150 danger
ously wounded and 500 more or les3
seriously injured. Twenty shops have
been burned out. As a further indica
tion of the gravity of the situation
troops to the number of 10,000, e<iuip-
I>ed with ammunition and other para
phernalia as for a campaign, have
been engaged in suppressing the riots.
PRAGUE, Dec. 2.— Martial law has
been proclaimed here, as well as in
the judicial districts of Karulenem
thal, Zikow, Wenberg and Smichow, as
a result of recent riots. There were
further excesses today at Weinberg.
The police were obliged to use their
revolvers. A house in Alstanterring
was wrecked and the pillagers were
dispersed by a mounted patrol. There
were other acts of pillage at Zeiskov*,
but the mobs everywhere quickly dis
persed. The town is tranquil this
evening and is being patrolled by
troops. There have been serious col
lisions between the polire and large
mobs tonight in the Smichow ami

opinion that the time was coming when
the people of this country would de

his confidence in coming prosperity was
so great that he had broken the record
of a lifetime, and had voted for Mc-
