The acceleration of the pulse was attributed l partly to the revusion of the stomach | against the food, and Dr. Mann pri- | vately assured Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson the presidents brother, Abner Mckinley and other assembled below stairs in the Milburn house to- night that the undigested food would probably pass away during the night and that the president would be better in the morning.
 The doctors had their evening consult ation earlier than usual and they frank ly announced, in the official bulletin at S:30, that the presidents condition was not so good. They are standing firmly by their resolution and promise to keep the public fully advised of the true state of affairs in the sick room. Drs. Wasdin, Stockton and Rixey remained in the sick room throughout the night, and those who left after the early even ing consultation, contrary to their usu al custom, slipped away through the side entrance. This in itself was con- sidered significant. Heretofore they have not failed to give verbal interpret ation of the official bulletins to the newspaper men.
 pr. Stockton, a local general practi- tioner with a high reputa ton, was call ed in for the first time tonight it being explained that the complica ton that had arisen was one with which phy- scian and not a surgeon would have to deal Secretaries Hitchcock and Will son, who were at the Milburn residence until Ii o'clock, said when they depart ed that there was no cause for alarm, that the trouble was in the stomach and not in the wound, and they believed the presidents condition would be i'm proved in the morning.
 Drs. Wasdin, Rixey and Stockton re- mained at the Milburn house during the night and were constantly in the room of the president. For hours the president failed to respond to the treat ment to which he was subjected to re- lieve him of the difficulty occasioned by the failure of the organs of direction and assimilation
  added to the depression that existed, but just at midnight the relief so much desired came. He had two operations of the bowels within a few minutes. This gave great encouragement and changed the character of the bulletin which the physicians were even then preparing.
 Soon after the last bulletin was sent out the lights in the lower part of the house, which shortly before were burn ing brightly, were put out, except in the drawing room which for the time being, is used by MT Cortelyou for of ficial purposes. Tn the chamber occu- pied by President Mckinley the lights were burning dinly. MT. Cortelyou came out for a moment shortly before 2 o'clock and said there was no change in the presidents condition since the last bulletin.
 Following are the bulletins of the physicians issued throughout the day the latest being given last:
