THE FRANCISCO MRS. MSKINLEY BETTER PRCSIDENT REACHES SAN FRANCISCO ST R Continued from First Page. Fortunately the news was exaggerated. M cKinley for the past three days has suffered from a felon on the firgt fin- | ger of her right hand and the severe pain, added to her delicate state of health, re- sulted in a nervous collapse. Felon Causes Excessive Pain. The exact cause of the felon on the hend of Mrs. McKinley is not known. It is thought that she either injured- her bard while on the train or that owing to } the hankshaking she did in Los Angeles the rings she wore were pressed into her fingers. On Saturday Dr. Rixey was com pelled to lance the hand twice.

The colored attendants of the President, who had driven ahead to the Scott resi- dence, had prepared a bamboo chair with cushions, and it wae placed close to the carriage. The President and Dr. Rixey, with the aid of the attendants, removed Mrs. McKinley from the carriage to the chalr, and the attendants then carried her into the house, President McKinley walk- ed by the side of the chair and his face was extremely sad and wan. Not a word was uttered as Mrs. McKinley was con- veyed into the house, Police Guard Chief Executive. A detail of police officers and detectives were on duty around the Scott residence.

Secretary Explains Illness. ecret about the illness of “There_is no to her condition. She is 111, is mot as ill as has been reported. She has been suffering from a felon on the first finger of her right hand. It is thought that she either injured her hand in the cars or that her rings brulsed the flesh owing to the constant shaking of hands. The felon was extremely painful, and-Dr. Rixey was compelled to lance it twice. That afforded Mrs. McKinley con- siderable relief, but the suffering, to- gether with the ‘excitement resulting from the long journey and the receptions, re- quires that she have complete rest. “It is not true that there was any da ger of blood-polsoning, nor that Mrs. Mc- Kinley was placed under ‘the influence of oplates to allay the pain. Some opiates were possibly used when the hand was lanced. The President desires that all publicity be given as to the exact condi- tion of Mrs. McKinley, and that these alarming rumors be denied. “Mrs..McKinley has stood the trip from Monterey better than was expected, and she is now resting eagler. Local applica- tions _to her hand are now being made, and Dr. Rixey has not lanced it again. “The President hopes to be able to carry out all his_engagements in this city and to go to 8an Jose in the morn- ing. Unless there is & sudden change in the condition of Mrs. McKinley, the President will be in San Jose to-morrow." Dr. Hirschfelder and Dr. Rixey were in consultation untfl 9 o'clock last evening and no change was decided upon as to the treatment of Mrs, McKinley. It was reported that she was restine comfort- ably, and with rest wonld soon regain her health. The doctors also reported that the bone felon on Mrs. McKinley's hand was healing nicely, During the evening General Shafter, ac- companied by Captain FEugene T, Wilson, his ald, called at the Scott residence and were recelved by the President. Irving M. Scott and Mayor Phelan were also re- ceived by the President, Dr, Hirschfelder left the house shortly before 10 p. m., and after that hour or- ders were issued that no one was to be allowed to enter.

NEW YORK, May 12—~When properly considered, the story of the Northern Pa- cific corner that precipitated the panic In ‘Wall street on Thursday last is simply an illustration of an old saying that there can be “too much of a good thing." Harmony of interest and community of ownership are not’ bad ideas, but when Larmony of Interest is carried to the ex- tent that it conflicts with or seems to en- danger Individual interests it may become the very worst disturber possible. From the developments of the last few days it is made very apparent that the ef- forts of one set of men to acquire Interest in others’ properties engendered bitter feeling. That this should have broken out in a stock market duel is not surprising. It 18 now made clear that the attempt on the part of Mr. Morgan and Mr, 1l to acquire the Bt. Paul road not only was not favored by the Standard Oll and Van- derbilt Interests, but was strenuously op- posed b‘y them, and that the subsequent successful attempt to obtain the Burling- ton property has resulted in an open breach of peace between the Interests rep- resented by tho banking firm of J. Pler- {z(onl Morgan & Co. on one hand and uhn, Loeb & Co. on the other. This is not a fight, as some would have it, be- tween banking houses, but between capi- “}ll!l. identified with great rallroad prop- erties. The true story of the long contest is here told for the first time. The struggle has extended over months and originated in London at a meeting in which three men seated at a table with a rallroad map of the United States spread before them calmly considered whose properties they would acquire. That some persons should have resented the attempts to carry out the plans made there is not strange, nor is it peculiar that their pro- tection of their own properties has caused a bitter fight. The capltalistic interests that are clashing are the greatest in the country. How the struggle will end no one can tell, It was not Union Pacific interests alone which objected to the Burlington-Great Northern-Northern Pacific deal. The own- ers of the St. Paul road are surveying a line to the Paeific Coast, and Chicago and Northwestern interests are by no means idle. Men who were once loud in praise of “harmony of interest” now maintain that the Burlington deal is the most i1l advised railroad undertaking since the West Shore and Nickel Plate affairs. ek WANT DELIVERY DEFERRED. LONDON, May 13.—The Stock Exchange has received a petition from the members of the exchange in favor of the delivery i of Northern Pacific stock being deferred until the old shares can be dispatched to America and exchanged for new shares, or ofgerwise, to make the non-voting shares “‘good delivery.” The question will be discussed at to-day’'s meeting. - The Standard’s financial article says that any extreme measure to force deliv- erfes of the stock probably would be warmly resented by the Stock Exchange. The Dally Mail considers that any such arbitrary interference with customs would have more ill_effect than good. The Daily News in its financial articles observes: “The penalty of unpopularity and dis- credit arising from the enforcement of ex- treme measures, such as are expressly discountenanced in this market, will not be readily incurred by the powerful firms concerned, even should the railway ‘deal’ be thereby imperiled.” It s asserted that £20,000 was qu'ckly subscribed in Capell court on Saturday in one Instance to avert a stoppage by a big operator whose differences amount to 40,000. Similar efforts are being made in one or two other cases. i Improved Order of Red Men, Navajo Tribe No. 115, organized by Willlam Connolly, sachem of Pocahontas Tribe, was recently instituted in Sant Clara by Great Sachem Brandon, assist- ed by prominent members of the order. The degree work was by the team of Manhattan Tribe of San Jose, and it was well done, . The family excursion and plenie to be glven by the San Francisco tribes and the councils of Pocahontas at Sunset Park on the Fourth of July promises to be one of the most enjoyable affairs ever glven in the name of the order. There will be many gate and game prizes. The great chief of records pald a visit to Manhattan Tribe lnst week and gave instructions in the adoption degree. He also visited the tribe in Auburn, The warrior's degree was conferred last Monday on several eligibles by the teams of Altahmes and of Bald Eagle tribes.

Pickwick Lodge, familiarly called by the members “dear old Pickwick,” had its monthly jollification last Tuesday night in the banquet hall of the Red Men's building. There was a good attendance and a jolly night enlivened with music, song and speclalties. The singers were H. Carles, Sergeant Phil English, H. Stockton, Al Bentley, James Brown, Jo- seph Moscropp and H. Code. W. yte, who was master of ceremonies, gave a comic recitation. Al Bentley was such a favorite that he had to respond to several encores. At these reunions any one who has a good voice is asked to sing and ‘there is always a ready response. During the evening amber liquid of Eng- lish brew and a collation was served. —_———— What the average man ne is_some- body who will make him do the best he [ SUNDAY OUTING OF GERMANS Six Societies Enjoy aDay of Pleasure at Shell Mound.

L CHAUFFEURS TO TAKE PART. Members of the Automobile Clun Start for the Garden City. Though the Automobile Club of Califor- nia will take no official part in the Car- nival of Roses at San Jose, there will be a goodly gathering of automobilists in the Garden City during the stay of the Presi- dential party. The following well-known chauffeurs left this city for San Jose yes- terday: P. F. and_Mrs. Rockett, L. H. and Mrs. Johnson, H. H. and Mrs. A. and Mrs. Aiken. To-day several more | self-propelled vehicles will make the trip, to San Jose, among them being George P. Moore's surrey and Miles T. Baird’'s run- about. George P. Moore himself will go down from Oakland in a single racing rig, with which he expects to capture the first prize in the three-mile automobile race. Dr. Clark of San Leandro starts to-mor- row morning. P. F. Rockett, George P. Moore and Miles T. Baird wiil take part in the automobile races to be held at San Jose on Tuesday afternoon. The chauf- feurs will be the guests of the wheelmen during their stay, and excellent arrange- ments have been made for storing and taking care of the vehicles. Other chauf- feurs who will probably take part in Tues- day morning’s parade are W. H. Webb, F. A. Hyde, W. H. Kellogg, J. P. Ed- wards and Fred Ward from San Francis- co; W. H. Taylor, Dr. J. F. Lilley, Earle C.' Anthony, Colonel "Cotton, J.' Lund- blaum and Willlam Mohr from Oakland and Mount Eden.

Yesterday afternoon she w weak, and last evening she fainted in her room, and for several hours serious alarm was felt for her safety. So when a hasty wire was sent to Pacific Gro\«:e this morning ordering the dent’s engine to make steam and come to Del Metite at once, and it became known that the President and his wife were go- ing to San Francisco, it caused no aston- ishme although it was altogether unex- It was the advice of Dr. Ri McKinley be sent where s 8 long and uninterrupted rest that Mrs. 1d_enjoy vith her decided to send her to the Scott h; , where for a week the President reside, and there let her gather health and strength for the home journey. There is quietude enough and room to snare at Del Monte, but the President would upset all ar- rangements did he remain here as long as would be nece: y for Mrs. McKinley to recuperate, and so, as she could stand the trip, it was thought best to send ker on to the city. Besides, it was believed that by special trips from San Franciseo to localities scheduled for a visit on the itinerary the President could be present and still return frequently to his wife's bedside. | No Visit to Santa Cruz. | At first it was announced that the Pre: | ident would return to Del Monte this | evening, but this was later corrected. | Then it was announced that he would not |leave the city at all, but this, too, was | corrected, and_to-night it is announced | here that the President would be at the | Burlingame luncheon, and if Mrs. McKin- | ley had tmproved sufficiently to make the | President content #o leave her he would | be ot San Jose.

The President intended to attend church | in" Pacific Grove this morning, but when | the hour for the service arrived the pas- tor, Rev. Dr. Kirby, was Informed that the President could not make the trip to | Pacific Grove, as he would not leave Mrs. McKinley, and so the services proceeded | without Tim. At the same time, however, | the report got around that the President’s | engine had been ordared to Del Monte | from where it was sidetracked at Pacific | Grove, and every one guessed the reason \ The President’s car and the combination car were detached from the train and | were made ready for the flying trip north- | ward. It was decided that the party | should be made up of President and Mrs. McKinley, Seeretary Cortelyou, Dr.. Ri | ey, Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Scoft, Miss | Barber and Laurence Scott. Departure From Del Monte. There was much hurrying and running about, and the hotel was in confusion for some time after the departure had been announced. Mrs. McKinley was made ready for the journey with as much dis- pateh as possible, and was carried down to the entrance reserved for the President, where the carriage was walting. She was very weak, but fully sensible /of her sur- roundings and able to appreclate what was being done for her. The horses had been taken from the carriage s6 that no sudden start should occur while she was being made comfort- | able. Then the carriage was driven to the station, the horses were unhitched again and the sick woman was carried to her room in the President's car. The President stood by her while she was being taken from the carriage, and | he walked beside her, holding her hand, | while she was carried to the car. He came yout on the rear platform and raised his | hat to the few people who had come to the station, and disappeared, and a min- at and ute after the rafls were singing /the cars as they sped on to the city. The departure of the train leaves Sec- retary Hay as the leader of the Presiden- tial party, and the absence of Secretary Cortelyou leaves his duties relating to the party in the hands of Assistant Secre- | tary Barnes. The train will follow the itinerary originally laid out as far as San Franciseo. If at the end of the week in San Francisco the President’s wife is able to travel the remainder of the itinerary will be carried out, but it may be that the trip north will have to be cut out alto- gether, and that the train will run back to Washington direct from ‘' the Golden Gate.
