Certain It Is that last night she Improved to an extent that fairly nonplussed the doctors, brightened the nuMous nnd devoted husband and filled tho city with Joy nnd thanksgiving. The sinking spell that was feared In tho early hours beforo tho dawn, when the thin flows out and the vitality of tho world Ib at Its lowest ebb, did not come. Thero was n slight tendency In that direc tion, but that wns nil. Tho physicians were bo favornbly Impressed with their patient's condition at the early morning consultation that they issued n bulletin announcing that Mrs. McKlnley had passed a good night, and nt the same tlmo In formed the public that there would not be another consultation until evening. ThU reassu-lug nows, posted at all the news papor otllceH, wob received with delight by the f jple. It was communicated to alt the members of the cabinet and Imme diately after breakfast they hurried out to tho Scott residence to express person ally to their chief the plensure they shared with him In tho glad tidings. The Joy in tho president's henrt wns reflected In his fare and ono look nt his counte nance today was enough to dispel Imme diate npprehcnslon. Yesterday ho looked haggard and careworn; today his face fairly beamed. Tho feeling of cheerfulness continued throughout the day. Although the other physicians left early In tho morn ing, Dr. Rlxoy did not leave the residence aud Drs. Hlrschfolder nnd Gibbons wore always where they could bo reached at a moment's notice. Tho ptcsldent went out for a short drive at noon, and Sccrotary Cortclyou, who has been under a great strain during the last few days, was able to tako a little rest. The women of the cabinet at va rious times during the day wero at the Scott rcsldonro and came away sharing ln the general feeling of relief. DiuiKcr nt All I'naNcd. But It must not be nHsumed from all this that Mrs. McKlnloy has passed tho crisis and Is out of danger. Tho elation of today may havo been only tho crest of tho wave after the trough of tho sea yen torday. Mrs. McKlnley Is still dangerously 111 and It will bo nt least forty-olgbt hours before It will bo snfo to say that the crisis has been passed. Her vitality Is so low and she Is so weak that a change for the worse would not be unexpected nt any moment, and It Is feared that sh would not havo reservo strength enough to weather unothur sinking spell such a sho experienced yesterday morning. Her mind wus elenr during her waking moments today. This morning Bhe asked for coffoo nnd also to ho permitted to wash her handB. Thero was no necosslty for tho administration of strong heurt stimulants during the day, although brandy continues to bo given from tlmo to time.
