She awak ened the other members of the family, and a physician was called. He at once projiounced it 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 McKinley, of New York,, arrived in Canton on Tuesday, and his mother seemed to be greatly cheered by his presence. Wednesday she was so bright and cheerful as to cause the family to remark on her Improvement, Mr. McKinley saying that he had not seen his mother, looking so well for a number of years. That being her con dition when 1 she retired "Wednesday evening the blow to. the family upon discovering what had come upon her during the night was a sad one. Dur ing the forenoon a letter from the presi dent was received. It was read to the aged sufferer, and in response to ques tions If she understood its contents she nodded her assent. Mr, 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 Mr, Abner McKinley notified the president that the sufferer had lapsed into seml-eonseiousness and promised to communicate further at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The president did not wait for the 5 o'clock message. He responded: "Tell mother I will be there." He left Wash ington at 7:20 o'clock last night, ar riving here at 8 o'clock this morning and hurrying at ence to his mother's bedside. Owing to the opening of con gress on Monday the president was obliged to return to Washington this afternoon, but will return on Monday evening. Mrs; A. J. Duncan, of Cleveland, a daughter of Mrs. McMinley, who was In Chicago visiting her daughter Sarah, who Is attending school there, arrived this morning, having cut , short .her visit. tr. Phillips, the attending physician, says the disease is not primarily par alysis, but senlty, the result of old age, which has produced the partial paraly sis. In such cases, he says, there is a general breaking down of the powers and jiothing Jeft upon which to build up strength and the basis of recovery. Mrs. McKinley came 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 Lisbon, O., in 1809'. She was married to William McKinley, Sr., Jan. 6. 1829, and was living in a two story frame house, still standing, near Niles, O.. when her distinguished son was born, Jan. 29.1843. Her husband, died Nov. 24, 1832. Previous to entering public life the president was also lo cated near his parents, and spent much time with them. Canton. 0.,"Dec. 6. Mother McKin ley has passed the fourth night of her illness, and enters upon the fifth day with the spark of life still dimly burn ing. There has not been a material develoDment in her case. Her condi tion has continued one of steady wast ing away, the constitution growing weaker hour by hour under the assault the disease. The, attending physician said. "he has been weakening so long that no c-e can make a prediction for the future with any assurance of certainty. The case is one In which we must be prepared for the end at any time. When the end comes it will merely be the passing out of the com atose condition in which she now rests to the- sleep of death. There will be no rally, no more conscious pei lous, final strugg'e." It is often a mystery how a been 'caught." The fact is however, that when the blood is poor and the system depressed, one becomes pecu liarly liable to diseases.

Information was received here last night of an ac cident on the Atlantic and Danville railroad, in which Engineer James Lu ter and Fireman Frank B. Smith lost their lives. The engine attached to a passenger train left the track near Gillls Station, about 85 miles east of here, and rolled to the bottom of an embankment, carrying two cars with it. Spreading rails is given as the cause of the disaster. Martinsburg, W. Va., Dec 1. Frank lin T. Thayer, one of the reinstated United States gaugers, over whose as signment to duty at the Hannis dis tillery here one of the three revenue in-; junction cases against Collector White was brought, has been assigned to duty at Peoria, IUs., by the commissioner of internal revenue. Should Judge Jack son's decision be upheld by the supreme court Mr. Thayer's assignment will be permanent unless removed for cause. Wilmington; N C.J Nov. 30. The re port that Nathan Willis, colored, the murderer of a young white man. named Stephens, was lynched by burning, was not correct. .Willis Is safely lodged In the Horry county jail at Conway, S. C. Several of the party of men who were with the officers when they arrested Willis were eager to execute summary punishment upon him, and the feeling of the community where the crime was committed was intense. It was this probably that gave rise to the lynch ing rumor. Birmingham, Ala.. Dec. 2. News comes from Walker county that miners at Corona, Lockhart, Pallon, Black Diamond. Coal Valley, Mountain Val ley and Gaslight, about 1,200 all told, struck yesterday,, it is. alleged be cause of the failure of the operators to restore the 10 per cent reduction in wages made last spring, and which the miners claim the operators promised to restore Nov. 1. , The jstrike leaders claim the strike will spread to other Walker county mines. Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 3. A three cornered duel took place at a country church near Huntsville, Madison coun ty, Tuesday night. Seth Lowe, Will Phillips and John Howard, three farm ers, were in love with the same girl. Miss Irene Pruitt. Miss Pruitt went to prayer meet'ng with Phillips, and there they met the other two young men. The" srirl went on Into the building, while the men repaired a short dis tance away to discuss the situation. In the fight which resulted all three men were fatally shot. The fight cre ated a panic in the church. Atlanta, Dec. 1. A committee from the state house of representatives, com posed of some of the most prominent politicians in the state, was held up on a freight car in the Okefinee swamp and forced to give up a considerable sum of money. They had visited a convict camp in the swamp for th purpose Of inspecting. They were put in a freight car and haueld 33 miles over a rough road to the camp, On the return trip, when in the midst of the swamp, two men stopped the train and demanded $1.50 from each of the members, claiming to be officials of the road. ' , Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 3. Near War rens, ten mil ' from Greensboro, Wed nesday night, hn Singley, a wealthy farmer, was called from his house by a negro named' Bill Scott for the alleged purpose of catching a horse. Singley was struck on the head and had his throat cut. The negro then went into the house, where he killed Mrs. Sing ley, cutting her head almost off, and later killing Dallas Singley, an 8-year-old son. Scott ,then robbed the house of $700. Mr. Singley is still alive, but cannot live. He was able to tell the story. If caught the negro will be lynched. Nashville, Ark.. Dec. 3. In a street duel at Horatio one man was killed outright and another, fatally wounded. The dead man is Dr.- Smith, a promi nent physician of that place, and the men fatally wounded is J. J. Smith, a prominetn business man of Horatio and a brother of the dead doctor. The killing was done by W. W. Millwee, also of Horatio, one of the wealthiest men in the town and a" man noted for his fearlessness. The tragedy was the culmination of a feud of long stand ing, and owing to the prominence of the parties It is believed that the feud will be continued. Jacksonvile, Dec. 3. The filibustering steamer Dauntless arrived in port yes terday afternoon after successfully landing another expedition in Cuba. The Dauntless left here for Savannah Nov. 19 with the schooner Jennie Thom as in tow. The schooner was towed to Savannah, after which the Dauntless left port and has not been heard from until her arrival here yesterday. The Dauntless is reported to have landed a large cargo, included in which was a 1. pound Hotchkiss gun. A large quantity of auinine was also landed for the In surgents. The steamer returned with scarcely any coal left, and high out of the water. She was promptly boarded by an officer of the Dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, Jbut notning was iouna. Armor I'iate i-iuut. Washington, Dec. 2. The naval board appointed by authority of congress to ascertain the cost or an armor piani made its report through Commodore Howell to Secretary Long yesterday.

The Organizing of the Ilonse at the Extra Session. Robbed , the Opening: of the Excitement Usually Attending the ltesrlu ulna: of a Reuular Session. Washington, Dec. 6. The regular or long session of congress, as it is called, because there is no constitutional lim itation upon the period of its duration, j opened at rioon today. President Mc Kinley having made the journey from the bedside of his dying mother that his absence might not delay the na tional legislature at its assembling. The extra session robs the opening. of the regular session of the excitement and interest which usually attaches to it. On the eye of a regular session ordinarily Washington thrills with ex--cltement. The hotel lobbies surge with place hunters in the wake of the vari ous candidates for speaker, clerk, door keeper, etc., the members are strug gling for committee consignments, and the air 's full of rumors of plots and counter plots. But as the house was completely organized at the extra ses sion, and all the committee assignments were made then, beyond the natural stimulus produced by the returning statesmen, the regular hangers on of legislation and the outlining of schemes by members of the "third house," or lobby, Washington is tranquil. The program at the house is very simple, and beyond the spectacular show which it offers to the curious has in. itself little attraction. The house was called to order by the speaker, who, after the chaplain's invocation, directed the clerk to call the roll. This having been accomplished and the presence of a quorum demonstrated, the clerk was directed to notify the senate that the house was ready for business, and a committee . was ap pointed to wait on the president. After this there was a recess to await the arrival of the president's annual mes sage, which was read upon its recep tion, and followed by an adjournment until tomorrow. . It is the intention of the house lead ers to proceed with the business of thi session as rapidly as possible. The committees will all begin their labors this week, and as all of them have more or less bills on. hand which were intro duced at the extra session there will be no lack of material for the house to work on aier the committee hoppers have begun to grind. The appropria tions committee has been at work for ten days, and Chairman Cannon ex pects to pass at least two of the regu lar budgets before the holidays the legislative, .executive-., and iju4&i.l -and the pension appropriation bins. Among the early general measures to receive consideration will be the bankruptcy bili. Whether it, will be" the Nelson bill, which passed the sen ate at the last session, or a modifica tion of the .orrey bill, depends on the temper - of the judiciary committee, which will submit the measure to the house. '. Beyond doubt there will be several resolutions of inquiry during the first week which may be more or less sensational, and some of the radi eal pro-Cuba members will attempt to get consideration for a Cuban resolu tioh before the foreign affairs commit tee can act. Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, is one of these. But owing to ' the nature of the house rules all these hasty efforts will prove abortive, and they probably will take their regu lar course. There is nothing to prevent the sen ate's entering promptly upon its work, as there is a calendar ready made for it, with about 300 bills reported from committees during the special session. It remains for the senate to decide whether it shall enter seriously upon the work of the session after today or begin a svstem of delay intended to throw all important questions over be yond the Cbristmas holidays. The indications are now for a little more activity than usual during the pre-holiday session. This is largely due to the fact that the supporters of the administration . and other advo cates of annexation are very anxious to secure the earliest possible consid eration of the treaty with Hawaii. Senator Di.is, chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations, announces his purpose of pressing .annexation at the earliest possible moment. It is not probable that much will be done in the way of legislation during the present week. There, is no dispo sition to press the Hawaiian matter until the foreign relations committee agrees upon a line of action, and the Indications now are that it will not be taken up in the senate before next week.

When the German re inforcements, consisting of four com panies of marines, numbering 23 officers and 1,200 men, and a company of na val artiilery, numbering 200 men, arrive at. Kiao-Chua bay, for-which point, as already cabled, they will Soon set out, they will bring the total German force there up to 4,566 men, the largest body Germany has ever sent beyond Euro pean waters. It is understood that the reserves had to be drawn upon. The admiralty denies that other Eu ropean squadrons have entered the harbor at Kiao-Chau to watch Ger man proceedings, and it is believed that Admiral Von Diedrich would protest vigorously against such an attempt. The Kolnische Zeitung regards the expedition as having a twofold aim first, to obtain missionary reparation, and second, to obtain the cessioji of Kaio-Chau as payment for past 'ser vices rendered China by Germany in connection with the conclusion of peace with Japan. - f MR.
