SENATOR HANNA'S CONDITION
His Extreme Weakness Is More Marked Than Heretofore.
The Senator Is Taking No Nourishment Except a Little Milk, and Is Too Weak to Talk.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Senator Hanna passed Sunday without any radical change in his condition. His extreme weakness was more marked than heretofore and his temperature was a little higher. Those attending him, however, insist there is nothing significant in these conditions, and that there are no developments on which to change their expressed belief that the outlook is hopeful for the senator's recovery.

There was a consultation of Dr. Rixey and two out-of-town physicians during the day, but the only important development that transpired as to the consultation was that it had been decided to omit the evening call of the attending physicians, so as to give the patient more rest.

The consultation was held about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Those who participated beside Dr. Rixey, the surgeon general of the navy, who is the regular attending physician, were Dr. Osler, the expert diagnostician of Johns Hopkins university of Baltimore, and Dr. Brewer of New York, who has frequently attended Senator Hanna in New York, and who is familiar with his general condition.

Immediately after the consultation the following bulletin was issued:

"Senator Hanna is doing well. His morning temperature was a little higher, but the heart's action is good, and there are no complications."

(Signed)
"DRS. RIXEY AND OSLER."

The physicians explain that it is to be expected that the fever will increase until the crisis is passed, but they do not name any definite date when that crucial period will be reached.

The senator is taking no nourishment except milk. He is too weak except to talk an occasional few words to those who are attending him. Mrs. Hanna and Miss Phelps, his niece, being the only ones permitted to see him, besides the physicians and trained nurses.
