aging sentiments. The vice president
not only shared the cheerful feeling,
but was extremely optimistic. Both
gentlemen took occasion to denounce
in unmeasured terms the statements
gaining circulation in some quarters
that the doctors were not frank in
their communications to the public.
They maintained that the presidents
favorable condition was even UNDER
stated by the physicians, through mo-
tives of conservatism, during the sew
enty-two hours period.
Tell the Whole Truth.
Later Secretary Cortelyou took oc-
casion to emphasize this very point by
issuing an official statement assuring
the public of the complete trustworthi-
ness of the news sent out.
All the members of the cabinet are
now here except Secretaries Hay and
Long. The former telegraphed yester-
day that he would start from New
berry to-day, probably in time to be
here tonight. Secretary Long also
telegraphed that he was coming, but
did not specify the time. The cabinet
officers feel it to be their duty to be
here in this crisis to meet any emer-
Gency. They are holding no formal
meetings, although there are some
matters of public business which they
daily discuss informally, and the pos
sible contingencies should the presi-
dent grow worse are also thoroughly
canvassed. They do not believe that
thereSis the most remote possibility
that Vice President Roosevelt will be
called upon to exercise the functions of
chief magistrate under the disability
clause of the constitution while the
president lives. Vice President Roose-
welt would not hear of such a course.
Vice President Roosevelt's attend
ance at the morning service of the
First Presbyterian church gave occa-
sion for a heartfelt expression of the
sorrow universally felt over the calam-
ity and the detestation of
The Assassin's Methods.
A fervid prayer by the pastor, DR..
Mitchell invoked the sternest reproba-
ton of anarchy and asked that the
temples of public life be scourged of
men willing to tempOrize with the mad
ness of anarchy.
The interest in the presidents condl-
ton was such across the Canadian
border that the Associated Press was
asked to furnish a bulletin yesterday
morning to be read in the churches in
Quebec and Montreal and many re-
quests of a similar character came
direct to Secretary Cortelyou from diff
ferent parts Of the United States. The
messages OF sympathy from all over
the United States, and all over the
world, in fact, have fairly overwhelmed
secretary CortelyOu. Two more White
House stenographers have been sent
for, and upon their arrival some of the
more important messages will be made
public. Almost every government in
the world has been heard from, most
of the crowned heads of Europe send
ing personal messages. Among the lat
ter are King Edward, Emperor Will
lam, the kings of Portugal, Italy and
Sweden and the sultan of Turkey.
President Loubet of the republic of
France has also cabled his sympathy
direct.
Mrs. McKinlcy's Fortitude.
Mrs. Mckinley continues to bear up
bravely and her fortitude is regarded
as remarkable. One of her dearest and
closest friends, Mrs. Rand of Wash
ington, has arrived here and will prob
ably remain with her during this try
ing period.
The members of the cabinet are do.
ing everything in their power to pre-
vent the sensational exploitation of
Czolgosz because he Undoubtedly
Graves notoriety and because his fell
low anarchists throughout the country
love it. They do not desire to place
any stone in the path of the authori-
ties who are laboring to un1avel the
plot, If any plot existed, and all the
minions of the government secret SER
vice will be used to aid the state au-
thorities in the prosecution of their in
Vestigation. But by the direct request
of Secretary Root on behalf of his coll
leagues, the district attorney and the
police will not permit the prisoner to
be seen or interviewed, nor will they
discuss the methods of the results of.
their efforts to discover the originators
or the plot. All that has leaked out
from the jail shows that the prisoner
is vain and boastful of his crime and
would, if given an opportunity, fill the
newspapers with columns of his vapor-
ings.
