RUSSIAN BOAT FIRED SHOT THAT STARTED WARHANNA GRADUALLY

GROWING WEAKERSmall Hope That the Ohio

Senator Will Survive theNight.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 15, 3:15a. m.—No change in the senator's con-dition was reported from the sickchamber at this hour. He continues torest comfortably. Except the physi-cians and attendants the members ofthe household are a'l asleep.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 15, 1:40a. m.—Senator Hanna appears to belosing ground. He is gradually grow-ing weaker.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 15.—At1:30 a. m. Senator Hanna was restingeasily. Mr. Dover came from the sickroom and in response to a questionsaid the senator's appearance had un-dergone little change since he was tak-en ill. The utmost watchfulness wasobserved to note the slightest indica-tion of any change. Oxygen continuesto be used.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 14.—Thishad been regarded thoroughout as thecrucial day in Senator Hanna's heroicbattle for life. It began with assur-ances of quite an optimistic charac-ter. The first news of the day fromthe sick room was announced shortlyafter 7 a. m. The senator, the dec-tors said, had passed a perfectly quietnight. His temperature at 7 o'clockwas 103.8; pulse recorded 120 and wasStrong and regular, and his respira-tion was declared to be satisfactory,although no figure was given.

At intervals of two hours during thenight Senator Hanna had been arousedand given nourishment, after whichhe immediately would resume hissleep. The doctors supplemented thisannouncement with the statement thatthe condition of the senator at thistime surpassed all their expectations.

Change for the Worse.This statement hardly had been is-

sued when an unexpected change forthe worse took place. Dr. Osier hadgone to Mr. Hanna's room and Dr.Carter and Secretary Elmer Dover hadstepped down to the dining room forbreakfast. Dr. Rixey had not arrivedand the senator was. alone with hisnurses. Suddenly he became notice-ably weaker. His rapid breathing ex-cited alarm and other evident signs ofdistress caused a hurried summons forboth physicians.

On their almost instant arrival hispulse was beating at the alarming rateof 137 and his respiration was above40.

The oxygen apparatus was put intouse immediately, the breathing conewas placed over the senator's mouthand nostrils and relief secured. At9:30 o'clock an official bulletin was is-euped covering this period. The state-ment was as follows:

Senator Hanna passed a favorablenight, but he ia weaker this morning.Temperature, 103.8; pulse, 124; respira-tion, 40.

—Rixey,—Osier,—Carter.

The physicians declined to make fur-ther comment on the outlook, but itwas noticeable that their optimism ofthe early morning had been entirelydissipated by the 8 o'clock sinkingspell. However, for the next few hoursthe reports which came unofficiallyfrom the bedside of the senator alltold of his wonderful recuperativepowers. At 10:30 a. m. Dr. Osier de-clared the distinguished patient to beentirely recovered from the depressionof the earlier morning hours. At thistime the doctor left for Baltimore,with the understanding that he wouldreturn at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon.Dr. Rixey, Dr. Carter and Dr. Futcherremained in constant attendance

Noon Official Bulletin.At noon an official bulletin was is-

sued. It read:At 12 o'clock noon Senator Hanna's

temperature was 102; pulse, 124; respira-tion, 38. He is resting quietly and showsa slight improvement over his conditionwhen the morning bulletin was issued.

—Rixey,—Carter.

The drop of nearly two degrees inthe senator's temperature between the9:30 and noon bulletins was looked onas a most encouraging sign, especiallyIn view of the fact that the bath hadnot been resorted to to reduce thefever.

H. M. Hanna, the senator's brother,on coming from the sick room just asthe noon bulletin was issued, said thata very decided improvement in everyrespect had taken place during thehalf hour immediately preceding.

A lapse of nearly two hours thenIntervened without news except of themost indefinite character, such as "nochange," when suddenly at 2 o'clockRepresentative Dick, of Ohio, and Mr.Dover came from the senator's apart-ments with the shocking announce-ment that the senator had sufferedanother severe sinking spell and hadfailed utterly to respond to all stimu-lants administered to revive him.

Another Sinking Spell.This news came like a bolt from a

clear sky. The hotel corridors had beenthronged throughout the day with anx-ious inquirers as to the senator's con-dition. The latest news from the sickroom caused a hush throughout thelobbies.

Mr. Medill McCormick, the senator'sEon-In-law, was dispatched in hastefor more powerful stimulants. Thesecame, but the next report a few min-utes later, said that the doctors de-clared the end to be only a question ofperhaps minutes, but at the most, ofhours.

Then within a space of three minutesthe patient rallied, his consciousnessReturned, and by the exertion of histvonderful will power Senator Hannadeemed to pull himself together in whatthe doctors and those at the bedside

Senator Marcus A. Hanna.regarded as a most miraculous man-ner. But the fight was by no meanswon. Although the afternoon relapsehad been rallied from it had left abadly weakened frame for future bat-tles. The restoratives were continuedand the senator dozed again into astupor.

Dr. Carter's description of the sink-Ing spell, made public shortly after 3o'clock, was as follows:

Only Slight Flutter of Heart."At 1:30 o'clock a very unexpected

sinking spell came on. We atonce started to work on thesenator, but he failed to re-spond to the restoratives applied.During this * spell the pulse entirelydisappeared from the wrist and only aslight flutter of the heart could be de-tected. We kept applying other stimu-lants, and finally got a slight response.Now he has a pretty good pulse andalso respiration. The spell was decid-edly worse than the one this morning."

Asked as to the future outlook, thedoctor replied:

"We can only work and hope."When the situation looked most

critical this afternoon the members ofthe immediate family were assembledin the sick room. Mrs. Hanna has beenin almost constant attendance at thebedside. Others in the room were thedaughters, Ruth and Mabel, re-spectively Mrs. Medill McCormickand Mrs. Harry A. Parsons,with their husbands, the sen-ator's son, Dan R. Hanna and his wife,H. M. Hanna, the senator's brother,and Miss Phelps, a niece. After thesenator had made his wonderful andunexpected rally, the ladies with theexception of Mrs. Hanna, went out atthe suggestion of the physicians forshort walks or drives.

President Makes Personal Inquiry.President Roosevelt called to make

a personal inquiry shortly after noon.Gov. Herrick, of Ohio, arrived in Wash-ington at 8:30 o'clock this morning andwent at once to the senator's apart-ments. Former Postmaster GeneralCharles Emory Smith arrived fromPhiladelphia. Postmaster GeneralPayne and Gov. Herrick lunched to-gether at the hotel, where both re-mained throughout the day in con-stant touch with the senator's condi-tion.

Representative Dick spent the en-tire day in Senator Hanna's apart-ments. Speaker Cannon called morethan once to learn the situation. Sec-retaries Hitchcock and Wilson alsowere callers, as were Senators Fair-banks, Platt of Connecticut, Kean ofNew Jersey, Scott of West Virginia,Mitchell of Oregon, Spoonfer and manyothers.

Mr. Andrew Squire, of Cleveland, aclose personal friend of Senator Han-na, has been In Washington severaldays. Clement A. Grlscom, of Phila-delphia, spent the day at the Arlington,and Representative Grosvenor mademany trips to the hotel during the day.

Telegrams of Sympathy.Constant telegraphic communica-

tion with Cleveland, New York andother cities was kept up and the rel-atives and friends of the senator wereInformed of every change in his con-dition. Hundreds of telegrams of sym-pathy arrived during the day.

The first bulletin of the eveningwas issued at 6 p. m. and was as fol-lows :

Senator Hanna was not so well thiaafternoon, but he has rallied. His pulseis now 130; respiration, 40; temperature,103.6.

—Rixey,—Osier.—Carter.

A statement was made accompany-ing the 6 p. m. bulletin that the rallywas due to injections of brandy andwater under- the skin. For about anhour and a half following the severesinking spell the senator had been con-scious, but he made no attempt tospeak during the entire time. At 3:30o'clock he dropped Jnto a do*e and attimes slept peacefully. Later he tooka little nourishment.

doctors hardly know just what to ex-pect. Neither could It be said, it wasadded, when the climax of the feverwould be reached. Dr. Carter went tobed soon after the 6 p. m. bulletinwas issued and Dr. Osier remainedfor the night. He made arrangementsto stay over the crisis, for every rallyconsumed so much of the patient'sstrength that the greatest alarm wasfelt for the consequences of anotherif it should come.

No Improvement at 8 O'clock.The 8 o'clock bulletin showed no Im-

provement in the senator's condition.Some milk and whisky were adminis-tered at 6:30 o'clock and shortlythereafter the patient was given an-other bath, but it caused no reductionIn the temperature. For an hour afterthe bath Senator Hanna dozed and wasresting comfortably. More nourish-ment was given at 8 o'clock. Through-out the evening the doctors gave oxy-

I gen for a couple of minutes at inter-vals of half an hour

It was apparent at 8:30 that an un-usual gloom pervaded the hotel. Allhope had been abandoned and any im-provement in the senator's conditionwhich developed in the course of theday was regarded as only temporary.

Mr. Dover, on coming from the sickchamber, said that there was no chancefor life, although the physicians werenot preparing for immediate dissolu-tion.

The following official bulletin was Is-sued by the physicians at 11 o'clock:

There has been no material change inSenator Hanna's condition since 6 o'clock.Temperature now 104; pulse, 130; respira-tion, 40.

—Rixey,—Osier,—Carter.

The temperature was taken again at9:20 o'clock and registered 104.4. Find-ing that it had not diminished, as wasexpected, as the result of the last bath,another bath at 10 o'clock was given.The milk and whisky nourishment wasabandoned temporarily and a smallquantity of champagne administered.

Dr. Osier retired for the night im-mediately after issuing the 11 o'clockbulletin, saying that he did not antici-pate any immediate change.

Atthis time Mr. Hanna,, although ex-ceedingly feeble, was conscious.

Unable to leave the embassy todayon account of a cold, Count Cassini, theRussian ambassador, sent Mr. Gutow-ski, of his staff, to the Arlington thisafternoon to inquire about SenatorHanna's condition and to express hissincere sympathy for the family.

ANESE FLEET ATTEMPTS TO LAND AT TALIEN WAN.

Special Cable to The Globe,NAGASAKI, Frtday-At half-past 4 o'clock in the aft-

ernoon of Feb. 8 the Japanese warships Akashi, Chiyoda, Fa-kachihio, Naniwa and Mikasa, with several torpedo boatsand three transports, entered Chemulpo harbor, having onboard 2,500 man. They began to land troops immediately inperfect or in superb system and at dawn of Feb. 9 all the menwere billeted safely on the Japanese concession. The war-ships then withdrew.

At 10 o'clock the Japanese consul warned the British resi-dents that Admiral Uriu, commanding the squadron hadgiven the Russian senior officer, captain of the Variag andcommander of the Koreitz until noon to leave the port, failingwhich he would begin action. At half-past eleven o'clock inthe forenoon the Variag and the Koreitz steamed away.

I proceeded in the steamer Ajax from which I saw themmet by eight Japanese vessels. The first gun was Tired attwenty minutes to 12 o'clock. The Japanese scorning the Ko-rietz concentrated their fire on the Variag, the latter contin-ually circled round, replying from her sides alternately, butit was apparent her shooting was not good. On every sideher shells went wild, it being observable that the Japanesegradually closed the battleship Mikasa doing most of the fir-ing and damage.

At a quarter after 1 o'clock p. m. they ceased firing as theVariag re-entered the harbor and took up a position with theKorietz among other warships. One of her boilers was in-jured and she was on fire astern; the flames were extin-guished by flooding a compartment. She refused to disclosethe number of her casualties.

The Japanese meanwhile were startled at this point bya terrific report. The Korietz has been blown up by the Rus-sions, whose men can be seen in boats pulling for the Varlag.An immense column of smoke arose and then cleared away,leaving the Korietz with funnel and masts just above thewater. The Japanese ashore are wild In the cheering. TheVariag still remains at anchor. Itwas exactly within a halfhour after the Japanese fleet appeared in the distance andapproached slowly.

At twenty minutes after S p. m. fire appeared in the afterpart of the Variag and spread slowly. The Japanese thenstopped firing. The Variag heeled over surely, but barelyperceptibly, and at five minutes after 6 o'clock she sank witha dull rumble.

Russians admit that the Koreitz fired the first shot, but sayit was accidental no doubt. They made a fine fight againstodds.

FOUR HUNDRED AND TEN JAPS SABRED.

Nagasaki, Thursday—The secpnd stage of the war has now-begun and the army's operations, the transport of troops andso forth are in course of being carried out. Personally, Ihave not a doubt that even if Russia could put her fulleststrength into tbe field she would be unable to hold the LiaoTung peninsula against Japan. The fact that the latter's fleetis helping her troops makes her position practically impreg-nable, and Port Arthur must fall in the course of time, evenwithout assault.
