ley s capture was due to the pension
office. He applied for a pension while

Senator Manna is rapidly sinking, and

gradually lost ground, and was una

Yesterday Crucial.
Washington. Fob. 1". Yesterday
w;-;1; regarded throughout as the crucial
tiny in Senator Ilanna's heroic battle
for life. It began with assurances of
quite an optimistic character. The
first news of the day from the sick
room was announced shortly after 7
a. m. The senator, the doctcrs said,
bad passed a perfectly quiet night.
I lis temperature at 7 a. m. was ltKt.S.
pulse recorded Rio and was strong and
regular, and his respiration was de
clared to be satisfactory, although no
figure was given.
Sudden Change for the Worse.
At intervals of two hours during
the night the senator liad been aroused
and given nourishment, after which
be immediately w ould resume his sleep.
The doctors supplemented this an
nouncement with the statement that
the condition of the senator at that
time surpassed all their expectations.
Tliis statement hardly had been is
sued when an unexpected change for
the worse took place. Dr. Osier had
gone to Ilanna's room and Dr. Car
ter and Secretary Kline: Dover had
stepped down to the dining room for
breakfast. Dr. Rixey had rot arrived,
and the senator was alone with his
nurses. Suddenly he became noticea
bly weaker. His rapid breathing ex
cited alarm, and tit her evident signs of
distress caused a hurried summons for
both physicians.
Oxygen Again Lived Kelief.
On their almost instant arrival his
pulse was beating at tife alarming
rate of Vi and Ids respiration was
above -1(1. The oxygen apparatus was
put into use immediately, ami relief
secured. At ):' a. in. an official bul
letin was issued covering this period,
fcimply stating the facts given above.
The physicians declined to make fur
ther comment on the outlook, but It
was noticeable that their optimism of
the early morning had been entirely
dissipated by the 8 o'clock sinking
spell.
IMPKOVES ONLY TO GROW WOKSE
Another Sinking Spell That Itriugs the
Senator Near Ieath.
At 10-3O a. m. Dr. Osier declared
the patient to be entirely recovered
from the depression of the earlier
morning hours. At this time the doc
tor left for Raltimore. with the under
standing that he would return at 4?,0
p. m. At noon an official bulletin was
i.ssued, showing a slight improvement.
a drop of nearly two degrees in the
senator's temperature being looked en
as a most encouraging sign. A lapse
of nearly two hours then intervened
without news except of the most in
definite character when suddenly at 2
p. m. Representative Dick", of Ohio,
and Dover came from the senator's
ipartments with the announcement
that the senator had suffered another
severe sinking spell, and had failed ut
terly to respond to all stimulants ad
ministered to revive him.
Medill Mof'ormiek. the senator's son-
in-law. was dispatched in haste for
more ttoworful stimulants. These came,
but the next rejxirt a few minutes

a most miraculous manner.

Oxygen I'setl Continuously Kally As
found the Attending I'liysiflans.
Rut the fight was by no means won.
Although the afternoon relapse . had
been rallied from it had left a badly
weakened frame for future battles.
The restoratives were continued and
the senator dozed agaiu into a stupor.
Asked as to the future emtlook Dr.
Carter replied: "We can only work
and hope."
The tlrst bulletin of the evening nil
issued at 6"p. iu., and was as follows:
"Senator Ha una was not so well thin
afternoon, but he has ml lied. lli pulse
is now l.iei; respiration, 40: tempera
ture, 10'.(i." A statement was made
Kccompa nying the p. ui. bulletin that
the rally was tine to injections of
brandy and water under the skin. The
physicians used oxygen continuously
throughout the afternoon. The rally
from a third sinking spell wag rj Un
usual that the physicians themselves
were astounded. They said they be
lieved it due largely to the patient's
wonderful efforts to aid in their heroio
measures.
It was stated that the recurrence of
the sinking spells docs not imply that
these will continue, and that simply
because of the previous depression
there Is no reason to look for another
drain of like character on bis vitality.
At (lie same lime the doctors hardly
knew just what to expect. Neither
could It be said, it was added, w hftt
the climax of the fever would bo
reached. The 8 o'clock bulletin showed
iio improvement iiv the senator's condi

ministered at (i:.'Jo p. in., and shortly
thereafter the patient was given an
other bath, but It caused no reduction
in the temperature.
For an hour alter the bath Senator
I la ii n dozed and was resting comfort
ably. More nourishment was given at
h p. m. Throughout the evening the
doctors gave oxygen for a couple of
minutes at intervals of half an hour.
It was apparent at 8:.".o that an un
usual gloom pervaded the hotel. All
hope had been abandoned, and any
improvement iu the senator's condition
Which developed in the course of the
day was regarded as only temporary.
Dover, on coming from the sick cham
ber, said that there was no chance for
life, although the physicians were not
preparing for immediate dissolution.
The temperature was taken again al
0:JU o'clock, and registered M4.4. Find
ing that it had not diminished as the
result of the last bath another bath
at 1U o'clock was given. The milk,
and whisky nourishment was aban
doned temporarily and a small quan
tity of champagne administered. At 11
o'clock another official bulletin wasi
issued, stating that there was no ma
