THE PRESIDENT IMPROVING,
Latest Bulletins Report His Condi-
tion AS Favorable.

tion AS Favorable.
Buffalo, N. Y, Speciai.-Harry
, Hawlin, who left the Milburn House
at 2:3o Monday morning says: "There
is no change from the improved con.
ditions reported by the earlier bulIe-
tins"
Buffalo, SpHcial-Through the quiet
| peaceful Sabbath every word that
came from the Nilburn house, In
5hlch the stricken Chief Nv. <trate
or the nation lies, was re-assuring.
arc at night the chances Of his re-
| very are so greatly improved that
all of those who have kept the patient
vigil at his bedside feel strongly that
l'fe will &c sTaTed.
The developments Of Saturday night
and Sunday were dreaded. but hour
! after hour passed and the distinguish
! ed patient struggling there beneath
the Watchful eyes Of physicians and
trained nurses, showed not an unfa-
Yorable symptom. Five times during
the dag the eminent doctors and sur
gccns Assem- bled for consultation and
each time the verdict was unanimous
that what change had occurred was
for the better. Not the slightest pre-
monltOry symptoms of periotonitis ap-
pearcd and the fresh hope born with
the morning grew stronger and strong
er as the day advanced until toward
evening the confidence expressed in
the Presidents recovery seemed al
most too sanguine. DR.. Chas. Nc
Rurney, the famous New York sur
geOn, who had been summoned in con-
sultatiOn, after thorough examina-
ton in which he said he had found not
single symptom, joined in the last
afternoon bulletin which stated that
the Presidents condition was salts
factory to all the physicians present.
1t is not strange. therefore, that the
Vice President, the members of the
cabinet and other distinguished visi-
tors who called came away with light
er hearts and gave expression to the
most optimistic sentiments.
And yet despite all this optimism,
the President is by no means out Of
danger. Not one of his physicians.
not one of his advisers who is ad
mitted to the inner councils, has the
temerity to go as far as to declare
that he is. But if his condition con-
tinues to improve for one more day
the danger from periotonitis will have
practically disappeared.
Sunday for the first time he enjoyed
natural sleep. While he was still
more or less under the influence of an
anaesthetic, his slumber was restless
and disturbed and did him little real
good, between 9 and 4 o'clock he had
the solace of natural slumber for
about four hours and the physicians
stated unOtf1cially that his sleep had
been quiet and reposeful," and that
it had helped the sufferer a great
deal. Sunday also, for the first time
nourishment was administered. 1t was
in liquid form and was injected hypo-
dermically to avoid the possibility of
irritating the walls of the stomach.
The exterior wound was dressed this
morning and is progressing satisfac-
torily.
Buffalo, Special-A member of the
firm of Walbridge and Co., it is said,
has identified the box in which the re-
yolver with which CZolgosz shot
President Mckinley as having the
price marks Of that firm. 1t is sup
posed the weapon was sold on Tues
day last. 1t is not known whether it
was pei 1sonally purchased by Czol-
gosz. Only the empty box was found
in Czolgosz's bag. CZolgosz still con-
tinues to eat we'll and sleep we'll and
seems absolutely Indifferent to his
fate. He makes no inquiries as to the
condition of the President and ap-
parently cares nothing at all as to
the outcome of his injuries.
The Public to be Told the Truth.
Buffalo, SpeCial.-Secretary Cortel-
you gave out this statement: The
public will be kept fully advised of the
actual condition of the President.
Each bulletin is carefully and con-
prepared and is an au-
thoritative statement of the most I'M
portant features Of the case at the
hour it is issued. The people are en-
titled to the facts and shall nave
them" This statement is intended to
put at rest any idea that the official
bulletins underestimate the conditions
and at the same time to give assurance
that those with the President intend
to furnish all the facts.
