WASHINGTON, May 17. (Special Tele

routes in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota,
Wyoming and all other western states,

years. In the new letting of contracts the
department will require that bidders shall

upon which they bid, thus putting an end
to the speculative bidding which has pre
vailed In the past, whereby the eastern
contractors have secured a majority of
the western contracts at low figures, de

tho road now has a vested right which enn

no settlement tonight Is that tho company

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17. President
McKlnley descilbed tho mnrked Improve
ment ln Mrs. McKlnley's condition today
bh a transformation. 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.
That and beef tea nre practically nil thb

Telugrams continue- to pour In from all
partu of tho country eagerly nsklng for

prosldont received mnny messages con
gratulating him upon tho reports nf tho
Improvements In Mrs. McKlnley's condition.
All the foreign ambassadors and ministers
nt Washington havo sent messages of sym

governments they represent. One of tho
telegrams which came today was from
