condition as any man could be after being HI for nine or ten weeks." The other delegate cf the committee. Sen. Hitchcock, democrat, cf Nebraska, said the president seemed greatly improved sinco he saw him two weeks ago. "My opinion is that he has been a very sick man but is improving," said Sen. Hitchcock. "He has a pretty good idea of the Mexican situation, and although he did not give a final decision on the subject, he indicated that too many serious considerations were involved to warrant any hasty action. TelLs Irish Story. When ho returned to the capltol. Sen. Fall was surrounded by his republican colleagues who sought news of the conference, which was declared to have been of the most friendly nature, tho president closing It with a story about an Irishman who, when asked whether he thought the United States would take Mexico replied: "I think we will. It's so contagious to US'." At another point when jests were being exchanged about the president's health. Mr. Wilson was said to have referred to the statement made in a letter by Sen. Moses, republican, of New Hampshire, that the executive was reported to have a brain lesion. "The president remarked," said Sen.

Fall gave a detailed account of the white house visit. He said Dr. Grayson received them and took them up to the president's bedroom, where Mrs. Wilson shook hands with each senator. Then the president shook hands with each of us," Sen. Fall continued., "He was lying in bed, flat on his back. His shoulders were propped up slightly. Ills bed was in a shaded portion of the room. He greeted us pleasantly and while his articulation seemed somewhat thick, during the conference, I could understand perfectly every word he said. "I think he was covered up to his chin, with his right arm out. I sat a little to one side and slightly below him, near a table, and he frequently turned his head to talk to me. ile also reached over to th" table several times to secure papers on It. "I told the president that I did not caro to fatigue him," said Mr. Fall. "I sketched, as rapidly as possible the work done by our sub-committee and gave him, hastily, some of the reasons why I thought this government should break off relations with Mexico. Is Mentally Kcoxi. "I asked him If he had a copy of my resolution and he reached over on the table and picked up a copy. The president asked me if I would give him a memorandum in writing covering my statement and I agreed to send it at once. He asked many 'questions and displayed a general knowledge of conditions, recent as well as past. "I told him that I wished to assure him of my desire to cooperate with him In Mexican matters as far as I could conscientiously. He picked up the copy of my resolution and asked: T suppose you want to have mo give some opinion on this? "I said that was the purpose, and he then asked if I would supply him with the written memorandum. He said he was much interested and would give it his careful attention. He did not say when or how he would communicate wUh us. "Tho president seemed generally familiar with Mexican affairs but said he did not know the details." Asked directly if he was satisfied with the president's condition and his ability to handle the Mexicnn situation. Sen. F"all countered: "Do you mem his menui condition?" "Yea." 'Yea sir." he replied, "entirely so.M After the conference Ir. tlrayon said the viMt apparently had done the president good and that he seemed to have enjoyed it. Tho physician added that he had arranged for hU patient to remain in bed for the conference because he had been up for some time during the morning and it was desired to guard against tiring him too much.
