Result Of Autopsy.
1T was found that the ball. after frac-
turing the right eleventh rib, had passed
through the spinal column In front OF the
spinal canal fracturing the body OF the
first lumbar vertebra. driving number
of small fragments Of bone into the adj
jacent soft parts and lodging below the
pancreas. about two inches and half to
the left OF the spine and behind the perl
toneum, where it had become completely
encysted. The Immediate cause of death
was secondary hemorrhage from one Of
the mesenteric arteries adjoining the track
OF the ball the blood rupturing the peri
tOneum and nearly q pint escaping into
the abdominal cavity An abcess cavity,
six inches by four in dimensions, was
found In the vicinity of the gall bladder,
between the liver and the transverse colon,
which were strongly adherent. 1t did not
involve the substance Of the liver and no
communication was found between It and
the wound. A long suppurating channel
extended from the external wound be-
tween the foin muscles and the right kid
ney almost to the groin. This channel,
now known to be due to the burrowing of
pus from the wound. was supposed dur
ing life to be the track of the bal"

Experiment with Induction Balance.
After DR.. Agnew's operation during the
latter part of July experiments to locate
the bullet were made with the Induction
balance by Professor Alexander Graham
Bell and an assistant. Professor Taintor,
under supervision of the attending sur
geons. The result was declared to be the
reasonably certain location of the bullet
was in the front wall of the abdomen i'm
mediately over the groin about five inches
below and to the right Of the navel. The
bullet in President Mckinley will probably
be located with more definite certainty
by means of the X-rays.

POSSIBILITY OF PERITONITIs.
Interesting Talk of a Prominent Local
Surgeon.

Interesting Talk of a Prominent Local
Surgeon.
A prominent local surgeon, who request
ed that the use of his name be not made
in connection with the interview, talked
most Interestingly this morning of the
Presidents evident condition and the pos
described the symptoms and treatment Of
peritonitis.
II do not believe any of the Presidents
symptoms Of today are Of importance. Ger
tainly they are not to medical men looking
at the case from this distance" said the
practitioner. 1.-The increase in the pulse
and the slight rise of temperature indi-
Gated in todays dispatches may be due to
local conditions entirely, and may have no
bearing on the important elements Of the
patients condition.
From all can gather, this much seems
certain, the President will not die either
from shock or hemmorhage. He seems to
gave gotten entirely beyond any danger
from those quarters. If peritonits is to
ensue, ii would probably not make its
presence felt until tomorrow or perhaps
Tuesday. Therefore all that the world can
do is to wait. Peritonitis would follow
such wound as the President received
and the operation following 1t In from
three to five days.
'Peritonitis Is an acute inflammation Of
the peritoneum. The peritoneum is the
membraneous lining Of the abdominal cav
ity. 1t is a sac which covers the vital
organs Of the abdominal regions The per-
'sIqIldsosns p9s slBoIIsp HI9A 81 WnsuolI
The least bit OF foreign matter allowed to
come into contact with it would induce
Inflammation. In peritonitis a 9reenish
matter covers the peritoneum. and it is
this matter which gets into the blood and
brings about blood poison
1.-The symptoms Of peritonitis are a dis
tension Of the abdomen, rapid and wiry
pulse, acute pain and vomiting. The alb
domen Is very tender and cannot be touch
ed without great pain to the patient. It
is dread condition, and the chances of
recovery In a case like that of the Presi-
dent, where the patient has passed
through q great shock are but about one
in a thousand.
1.-The treatment Of peritonitis is usually
by applying ice coils and other cooling APP
planes to the abdomen. This treatment
is usually, however. but method Of bring
ing as much comfort as possible to the pa
tient, pending the end. Another and more
severe treatment Is the opening of the alb
dcmen and the constant flushing Of the
abdominal cavity. This could hardly be re-
sorted to now in the Presidents case. The
results do not always warrant the opera
ton, either.
President Mckinley has had the most
eminent surgeons to serve him. The end
all depends upon whether or not the for
eign matter which drained from the stom-
ach into the abdominal cavity was entirely
removed.
'It is, after all is said and done. simply
a question of waiting for few days longer,
when the worst or the best will be known"

Nearly 2s.OOO,OOO pounds of printed mat

was shipped in one month last year by
publishers at the rate of cent a pound
at the hundred largest post offices in the

the top to Fort Worth, Texas, at the foot,
the total amount of such shipments having
risen from 296.OOO,0OO pounds in 1896 to
45O, 900 in 1900. These shipments of
printed matter, collected and transmitted
by the Post Office Department, constitute
very fair gauge of the distributing points
of news and literature in the United States.

other is peculiar and has little reference
to population.
