Hope Iias Been Given Up
WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-—After an
anxious night, Senator Hanna's life at
7 this morning was hanging only by a
thread. His pulse was so feeble as to
be hardly noticeable, and the members
of his family since 4 o'clock had been
gathered at the bedside awaiting the
dread summons of. death.
All day yesterday and main of last
night. it was felt that the s .. ....-‘s
condition had reached an acute stage.
and the family made preparations for
the worst. Becoming exhausted
through ceaseless watching and wait-
Ing, they retired lute in the night. but
at 4 o'clock this morning. following a
sinking spill, which made it apparent
that the distinguished patient was
nearing his end. the illniily were arous-
(d, and entered the sick chamber. in‘
the meantime messages were sent to
Governor Herrick, General Dick, Sen-
ators Scott and Klttreilge. William
Nelson Cromwell and others. advising
them of Mr. Hanna‘s critical condition,
and shortly thereafter they had assem-
bled in a room adjacent to that in
which the Senator lay. President
Roosevelt was notified.
A ray of hope came to the family
and friends when at 6 o‘clock, after u
suiiuc injection with brandy was gir~
en, Mr. Hanna rallied slightly, He is
totally unconscious 11nd the physicians
state that his death may tit-cur at any
moment.
Since I o'clock this morning the dis-
Iinguished putlciit steadily failed. and
all efforts to rouse him were without

menced curly In the morning. and
which recurred later in the day had so
weakened the patient that all hope for
his recovery was abandoned, and it
was then rcullzcd,ihei he could last
but a short while longer. The crisis
i‘lllnt‘ this morning, when shortly after
3 o‘clock the senator had another sink-
ing spell. Doctors Oslcr and Futcher
were hurridly summoned and together
with Dr. (lurier, worked over him for
nearly an hour. Not responding to
their efforts, Dan iisnnn was notified
of tlic sci‘ious turn ill his father's con-
dition. A consultation followed. and It
was decided to awaken the entire fam-
ily. Except to talk about his case the
physicians state that since Friday tif-
teruoon Mr. Hunuti practically was un-
conscious, AI is n‘clork. the usual hour
for the morning bulletin. the senator
was steadily sinking.
Since the interning bulletin was Is-
sued by the doctors, itll tidings from
the sick room wore of the same tenor
~—that the patient was slowly sinking

and telegrams were sent to 11 large
number of the senator‘s friends, who
have kept in close touch with his con-
dition since it reached the critical per-
Iod. The members of the family who
were hastily summoned to the bedside
early this morning. remained close by
since. coming and going from the sen-
ator's room to the adjoining chamber.
The strain has been a severe task.
There was a constant stream of call-
ers at the Arlington all morning, and
inquiries as to the senator's condition.
Secretary Hay arrived at the Arlington
at about 9 o'clock. and was shown up
to the private apartments where H. M.
Hanna. the senator‘s brother. advised
him of the pstient's condition. .Teie-

the White House early this morning.

and Justice William R. Day. of the

She has held up under the ordeal re-
markably well. At that hour Mr. Dov-
er announced upon coming from the
senator's room. that the patient was
perceptibly weaker.
A few minutes after noon Daniel
Hanna came from his father's room
and anounced to those in the sena~
tor‘s ethos that there has been no
