¡condition is not greatly changed from

i lessens her power of recuperation.
The complaint which came near end

It is in a slightly less
aggravated form, but gives the phy
sicians and president much concern.
Mrs. McKinley has shown remarkable

unless a change for the better soon
manifests itself, h^r strength may
become so near exhausted as to
leave her without rallying power.
The news given out by the physi
cians in attendance today was not
reassuring, though hope of better

sultation between the doctors the
following bulletin was issued:
“Mrs. McKinley passed a comfort
able night, but her condition has not

Administration Officials at Last New York, June 5.—A speeial from
Washington says:
Admit it Is Probable.
ALL ON ACCOUNT OF PHILIPPINE TARIFF
It All Depends Upon Whether
the President
Has Power to Impose Custom Duties
on Philippine Commerce.
New York, June 5.—A special from
Wasihngton says:
Officials of the administration for
the first time since the announce
ment of the decisions of the supreme
court in the insular cases, admit that
there is a possibility of an extra ses
sion of congress in July. If Attorney
General Knox, after a careful review
of the decisions, concludes that the
president will not have power under
the Spooner amendment to the army
appropriation bill to impose duties
on goods going into the Philippines
from the United States or coming
into the United States from the Phil
ippines, the president will seriously
consider the advisability of issuing
an immediate call for an extra ses
sion of congress. This statement is
made on the authority of a member
of the cabinet.
Attorney General Knox and Secre
tary of War Root have spent consid
erable time discussing the legal
points involved. Mr. Knox is work
ing hard on his opinion in order to
have it for the next cabinet meeting.
This meeting is expected to be of
very great importance.
A call for an extra session would
play havoc with the summer plans
of senators and representatives.
They have scattered to the four corners
of the earth.
Several are about to
start for the Philippines.
Quite a
number are either in Europe or in
tending to go shortly.
If congress
should be called back immediately,
the house of representatives would
have difficulty in finding a place in
which to meet. The hall is complete
ly torn up and an army of workmen
is engaged in the alterations made
necessary by the increase in the mem
bership of the house provided for by
the reapportinoment law enacted last
winter. If the work should be pushed
night and day it would require several
weeks to get the hall in condition.
Commercial
relations
between
Spain ami the United States seem to
be fully restored and it is not improb-
ible that American exports to that
country in the fiscal year 1901 will
be greater, with possibly a single ex
ception, than in any preceding year.
Exports from the United States to
Spain in the nine months etxiing
with Marclr, 1901, were valued at
$11,879,349, against $7,091,043 in
the corresponding period in the fiscal
year 1899.
The figures for the year
jp to this time indicate that the total
?xports from the United States to
Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be
ibout $16,000,000.
On the import side the figures of
the present fiscal year are largely in
sxcess of those of 1899, though slight
ly less than those of 1900 which were
the largest since 1891. The annual
imports from Spain into the United
States since 1891 have ranged from
$3,500,000 to $6,000,000, averaging
about $4,500,000, while for the pres
ent fiscal vear they seem likely to ex
ceed $5,000,000.
