SCHLEY INQUIRY IS ON
1T WAS TO BEGIN THURSDAY,
SEPTEMBER 12.
Howison to be Challenged as a Mem
ber-Chall nge Based on a Boston
Interview-Dewey's Position.

WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE
naval court of inquiry invoked by Rear
Admiral Schley will tomorrow begin
It's investigation as to the conduct of
that officer during the Santiago cam
paign
Interest in the opening now centers
on the probability of Rear Admiral
Schley challenging Rear Admiral Howl
son as a member of the court The "ap-
plicant," as Schley will be officially re-
ferred to, is confidently expected to
exercise his right and object to Howl
son serving. His lawyers have prepar-
ed a brief setting forth their reasons
why Howison should not sit in judg-
ment on this particular case. The
chief reason is based on an alleged in
terview in a Boston paper in which
Howison is quoted as giving credit for
the victory to Sampson. Admiral Dew
ey, president of the court, has some de-
cided opinions on this subject 1t is
said that he will throw his whole
weight against any imputation of bias,
however slight, and will vote against
the appearance of any member who is
accused of partiality.
Captain Lemly, as Judge advocate of
the court, is recognized as the Navy
Departments representative. He was
detailed with full knowledge by the
navy authorities that he had served un-
der Schley in the rescue of Greedy and
received with him the applause of the
public. Yet, despite this, the judge
advocate seems to be absolutely un-
biased. The impression gained from
him is that he wishes the full truth to
be brought out
Everything is ready for the meeting
of the court. The impression at the
Navy Department now is that the TAX
ing of testimony will not begin tomOr-
row, although that was the original ex-
pectation. A large number of witness
are in Washington ready to take the
stand at moments notice.

THE WOUNDS DESCRIBED
BULLET PASSED THROUGH THE
STOMACH.
Is Lodged in the Muscles of the Back.
May Never Cause and Trouble-The
Operation Performed.

NEW YORK, September 7.-Dr. r. w.
Lee, an eminent st. Louis surgeon, was
in New York a few hours today and
gave an interesting description of the
operation on President Mckinley after
he was wounded When the President
was told that an operation was to be
performed he smiled and in a quiet,
dignified manner said Gentlemen, do
whatever you think is necessary"
president Mckinley responded to
the anaesthetic very readily" said DR..
Lee. 1.-The operation was performed
calmly and deliberately. While we
never forgot for an instant that the
patient was magnificent man and our
President, our emotions did not in the
least hamper our work. The wound in
the chest required no attention until
the more serious one in the abdomen
had been operated upon and dressed.
The first bullet had simply caused an
abrasion of the skin, which was more
painful than serious. The wound was
dressed later with a solution of collo-
dion and loose bandages.
"The bullet hole in the abdomen was
about five inches below the left nipple
and an inch and half to the left of the
median line. DR.. Mann made five
inch incision along the line of the
wound through which the line of the
bullet was followed until 1t was ascer-
tanned that it had penetrated the an
terror wall of the stomach. 1t was
found necessary to take the stomach
out through the incision to ascertain
whether the bullet had gone completely
through that organ We then found
that the posterior wall of the stomach
had also been penetrated. Examination
disclosed that the hole made by the bull
let in leaving the stomach was much
more ragged and torn than when it en-
tered through the anterior wall. Both
holes were then closed with ordinary
antiseptic silk sutures.
"The stomach and abdominal cavity
were washed with normal salt solution
and a careful effort made to find the
bullet in the abdominal cavity. No
probing was done. From the probable
location of the bullet and condition of
the President, probing was not advis-
able. We did not find the bullet, but
determined that 1t was probably either
in the walls of the back or lying perhaps
loose in the abdominal cavity"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-09-18

AS soon as the crowd in the Temple
of Music had dispersed sufficiently the
President was removed in the automo-
bile ambulance and taken to the ex-
position hospital, where an examina-
ton was made. The best medical skill
was summoned and within a brief
period several of BuffalO's best known
practitioners were at the patients side.
The President retained th1 full exer-
else of his faculties until placed on the
operating table and subjected to an
anesthetic. Upon the first examination
it was ascertained that one bullet had
taken effect in the right breast just be-
low the nipple, causing comparatively
harmless wound.
The other took effect in the abdomen
about four inches below the left nipple,
four inches to the left of the navel and
about on a level with it. The second
bullet was probed for upon arrival at
the exposition hospital. The walls of
the abdomen were opened, but the ball
was not located. The incision was hast
lily closed, and, after a hasty consulta-
ton, it was decided to remove the
patient to the home of President Mil
burn. This was done, the automobile
ambulance beino used for the purpose.
Arriving at the Milburn residence all
persons save the medical attendants,
nurses and the officials Immediately
concerned were excluded and the task
of probing for the bullet which had
lodged in the abdomen was begun by
DR.. Roswell Parke.
When the news of the crime was tele-
phoned to the home of President Mil
burn, where Mrs. Mckinley was rest
ing, immediate steps were taken to
spare her the shock of a premature
statement of the occurrence until the
true condition of the President could be
ascertained. Guards were stationed and
no one was permitted to approach the
house.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. September 8.
-Telegrams of coincidence were receiv-
ed from the European capitals prompt

BUFFALO, SEPTEMBER 1.-THE

SOME RESPECTS, THE MOST RE-
ASSURING NEWS WHICH HAS YET
COME FROM THE SICK ROOM. A

HAD THE SATISFACTION OF AN
NOUNCING OFFICIALLY THAT
THE COUNT OF THE BLOOD COR
ROBORATED THE CLINICAL EVIL
DENCE OF THE ABSENCE OF ANY
BLOOD POISONING,
BUFFALO, September 1.-THE con-
dition of the President continued to be
favorable throughout the day, and
nothing occurred to shake the faith of
the attending surgeons, and the physi-
clans have expressed the opinion that
he will recover. The danger from two
sources was pronounced practically
over today. The holes in the stomach
proper caused by the perforation of the
bullet are now considered healed by DIR.
McBurney and his associates, and the
eminent surgeon pointed to the fact
that the beef juice, fed to the patient
last night, was readily digested as proof
of this. Sufficient time has also elaps-
ed to warrant the doctors in asserting
that danger of Inflammation where the
bullet lodged has disappeared. 1t is
believed that the ball has now become
encysted in the muscles of the back,
and unless it should prove troublesome
later there will never be any necessity
for removing it.
The attention of the physicians is
now, therefore, mainly directed to the
care and treatment of the wound caus-
ed by the incision made in the abdomen
above the navel, where the operation

formation that might reach there by
telephone or otherwise. Luckily he
was first to arrive with the informa-
tion. The Niagara Falls trip had tired
Mrs. Mckinley and on returning to the
Milburn residence she took leave of
her neices, the Misses Barber, and the
presidents neice Miss Duncan, as well
as their hostess, Mrs. Milburn, and
went to her room to rest.
Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as gent
ly as possible to the nieces and consult
ed with them and Mrs. Milburn as to
the best course to pursue in breaking
the news to Mrs. Mckinley. 1t was
finally decided that on her awakening
or shortly thereafter Mr.. Buchanan
should break the news to her, if in the
meantime her physician, DR.. Rixey, had
not arrived.
Mrs. Mckinley awoke from her sleep
at about $3.50 o'clock. She was feeling
splendidly she said, and at once took
up her crocheting, which is one Of her
favorite diversions.
After DR.. Rixey had gone Mr.. Buch-
anan said the doctor had broken the
news in a most gentle manner to Mrs.
Mckinley. He said she stood it bravely
though much affected. If it were possi-
BILE to bring him to her. she wanted 1t
done. DR.. Rixey assured his that the
president could be brought with safety
from the exposition grounds, and when
he left Mr. Milburns 1t was to complete
all arrangements for the removal of the
president.

TIE DEMAND FOR JURES
ESTEE MAKES A RULING
THIS MORNING.
Asks Attorneys to be Expeditions, an
the Government Wants Speedy
Settlement

United states Judge Estee this morn
ing made a ruling striking out the de-
mand for jury trial from the answer
of the defendants in the Pearl Harbor
condemnation suits. The judge did not
decide the question of whether the de-
PENDANTS were entitled to a jury or not,
leaving it to be brought up before the
trial.
In making the ruling the judge ex-
pressed the hope that the attorneys in
the cases would be as expeditions as
possible, as the government at Wash
ingtOn was anxious to have the matter
settled up. He expressly disclaimed
any intention of ruling on the real
question of whether the defendants had
right to a jury, declaring that his
decision was simply to the effect that
the demand for a jury was not a pro-
per part of the answer to the complaint
and should therefore be stricken out
Exceptions were noted to the order.
THE governm mt is going to get the
land" said the judge, "in the end, by
paying a fair price for it and it be-
hooves the attorneys to be as expedi-
tious as possible in their work on the
case. The trials promis to take sew
eral months as it is"
The defendants now have ten days in
which to file formal demands for jury
trials and Judge Estee will hear argu-
ment on the question of whether juries
should hear the cases.

VENTURA COMES FROM COAST.

The Ventura was sighted shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning from San
Francisco. The appearance of no YES
sci in years has been awaited, with as
deep and universal interest as was the
Ventura, for it was known that she
would bring the latest news OF the
fate of President Mckinley. The yes
sci was boarded and soon passed by
the quarantine officer but she remain
ed outside the harbor until after the
Sierra had left so that the Oceanic
wharf could be used by the vessel from
the Coast. The Sierra people were
very anxious to receive news from the
Ventura, while the passengers on the
latter were equally anxious to get let
ters on the Sierra. The exchange was
not made however. The Ventura sail
ed from San Francisco shortly after
noon of September ~. Good weather

half an hour late. She did not have to
ship any more crew here as all of her

combe handed down an order granting
judgment in favor of the American
Sugar Refining Company to recover
$49O, ,139, with interest, paid by the su-
gar company to Collector Bidwell on

Cbase,s-po,ite vaudeville.

Fanny Rice's Nell Gwyn sketch, which
formed the principal feature of the bill
of polite vaudeville at Chase's yesterday
is one of the best written, most cleverly
constructed, and abiest presented play
lets that the patrons of the Grand have
enjoyed in a long time. Miss Rice has
provided a special scenic setting for the
little play while the costumes are very
handsome The supporting company in
cludes two very capable players, Miss Eva
Randolph. as the Duchess of Richmond,
being especially worthy of praise, while
Mr. Louis Payne, as King Charles H. in
terprets his role most excellently. Miss
Rices portrayal of Nell is in many ways
eminently satisfactory, although she does
not look the Nell we have been taught to
picture in the minds eye. Miss Rice has
taken on too much avoirdupois to suit the
role but she, nevertheless, possesses a
great amount of magnetism and a good
nature which manifest themselves
throughout the action of the sketch. The
audiences yesterday liked the piece inn

sincere.
