San Francisco, May 17. Marked
change for the better in Mrs. HMtaKin-
ley's condition occurred today and the
9 most sanguine opinion of the watchers
iat the bedside is that the danger point
I is (passed. It is believed that under the
watchful care of her physicians she
will not again relapse. The president is
p almost boyish, in his delight at (the fa--ivofable
turn of his -wife's condition.
J, He and the physicians iwere prepared
, Tor another sinking spell early this
morning and when time had 'passed
without unfavorable symptoms they
felt imuoh encouraged.
Mrs. MtaKinley rested comfortably
all day and it was not necessary to sup
ply any strong restoratives. tShe slept
some time and on awakening her mind
seemed clear. The president took sev
era! naps while his wife slept today
and is much refreshed. He :Wasi con
stantly at her bedside while she wa
1 awake except for half an hour this af
ternoon when he went for a drive.
It has not been definitely decided to
night whether the president 'will attend
the launching of the Battleship Ohio.
If Mrs. MdKinley continues to improve
it is probable that he will witness the
launching.

president rose at 5 o'clock and raised
the window blinds facing the east, al
lowing the sun to stream in.
At 5:30 the trained nurse was een. to
slightly raise the blinds of the sick
room in order that the patient might
get the sunlight. There was not a stir
in other parts of the house, and those
waiting for news from thH'dlfiitinu'ia,n"

The president sent word to have his"
breakfast served early, ..presuimaDiy n
order that he might devote his atten-
ito his executive busteess.
At 7 o'clock the relief nurse arrived
and took up her position at tne oea-
side. and at 7:30 'Henry T: Scott, wno
had passed the night at a neighboring
residence, called to learn Mrs. iM.cK.m-

few minutes and came out looking
cheerful and) relieved, he said.
"Mrs. McKtaley passed a rainy gooa ;

WHAT AUTOPSY REVEALED

made on the late Father Phillips today.
While it did not show that he was mur

a most careful investigation. In his
stomach was found some dark fluid
which, was put into a sealed bottle and
turned over to Dr. Walthaus along with
the stomach and viscera.
The truth about the priest's death,
aa his relatives see it, is that having
met "Doctor" Stanley, the priest, who

for years, was induced to undergo
