Major n Mrs. Rand. who ase init

Mckinley reached Bufalo tbis nofn-
ing from Washington and went tmme-
diately to the MlbuFH residence. Mrs.

PERSONAL friends and her presence with
the Presidents wife during this try
ing period. will be, il IS believed. a
great comfort to the latter.
DR.. McBurney vas at Stoekhrisge,
Conn, when the summons TO come 10
Buffalo, reached him.and he came d.
rect from there. It is explained that
DR.. McBurney's appearance in the
case has no immediate significance
and does not in any way reflect upon
the attending physicians. II was simp-
" desired that the best talent in the
country in medicine and su~rgeryshould
be present in order that in the event
of a fatal termination OF the Presl-
dents wound there could be no criti-
cism and his family and friends would
have nothing with which to reproach
themselves.
DR.. MeBurney Is considered one or the
leading surgeons of the country and ms
Reputation is Worldwide.
His counsel is desired. although the Presl-
dents advisors have the fullest conn
aence in DR.. Park. who also enjoys the
highest reputation as a surgeon. IN
Heed. he Is considered by far the abiest
surgeon in this part of the state.
There Is no truth in the reports that
the cabinet yesterday discussed tho
question of the wholesale arrest OF an
archists in different parts of the coun-
Try. although In an informal way they
have naturally talked over the danger
from those advocates of the destruction
Of all governments, and the ACCESSIBILITY
of possible legislation upon the subject.
Neither have they eanvassed so far as
can be learned. the advisability of a pro-
clamation to foreign countries concern
ing the catastrophe. The necessity for
such a notification would seem useless
as every government in the world has
already taken cognizance of the crime,
as is evident from the cables from all
parts of the world that have poured in
here.
Either directly or through the prime
ministers
Every Government in Europe
has expressed it's sympathy. Not only
did King Edward and Emperor William
cable direct in their own names, but
the king of Portugal. King Oscar of Swe-
den. the Sultan of Turkey. President
Louhet OF France and the King of Italy
have sent personal messages. These mon
archs have not hesitated to denounce
in the strongest language the deed of the
assassin, The bulletins concerning the
presidents condition are being sent to all
these inquirers abroad. Should occas-
ion arise, a contingency only considered
a very remote possibility, for the vice
president to discharge the duties of pres
ident dusing the latter's disability. the
ca blnet would have to determine and
proclaim the necessity for such a
course.
The present situation has called prom
inently to the attention of the MEM
beers of the cabinet and OF the other dis
tinguished statesmen and publicists who
are .atehered here OF the
N~ngueness of the Constitution
upon this point. 1t contains no word or
direction as to who shall determine the
x,gr.a-.. , St~~hfTitxy u-hish urAtyId rem
der it upon the vice prcsi-
cent to act but it appears to be the gen
ernl opinion that the cabinet is the only
body which could proclaim the di.abili-
ty within the meaning of the con.titu-
ton. II is considered probable that the
haziness Of the constitution upon this
point will lead to agitation for an en-
ctnen and II necessary, fer a consti-
t~utional amendment to dehne exactly
what shall constitute disability Of the
president, and to provide for the tenn
porary exercise Of the functions of chief
magistrate by the vice president.
Secretary Wilson, Senator Proctor. of
Vermont. and Major General Breoke were
admitted to the Milburn residence about
II o'clock, and APPEARED greatly encour-
aged by the news they received. Secre-
tary Cortelyeu sauntered over TO the
newspaper reservation about 1870, and
when questioned stated emphatically that
he felt much relieved that no unfavor-
able symptoms had appeared. He said
the bulletin issued this morning was
without doubt the most favorable yet is
