The riaee For Mrs. Ilnrrlso.i To
Recuperate,
Washington, May 20. l here is no
truth iu the report that Mrs. Harrison's
condition is dangerous nnd that the
family is in a state of alarm. Mrs. Mc-
ls.ee said tins morning that sue was en
couraged at the improvement already
shown in Mrs. Harrison s condition
since her return to the white house yester
day afternoon. She added that she
knew her mother had a good sleep last
night, because she was by her side all
night.
Mrs. Harrison is still very weak, how
ever, and is in need of a long rest. She
will probably be taken to the mountain?
in n few weeks if she can stand the jour
ney. Her relapse is attributed to the
cold damp weather on Chesapeake Bay
lollowing an unusual wet euson.

ney without them, tletookgreatcliances,
