SLIGHT DANGER OF FTRTHER COM.
PLlCATIONS IN THE PRESI-
DENTS CASE.

io' sept lo-The corps of eminent sur
seons and physicians in attendance on Prss,-
dent Mckinley to-day committed tbensa,vs.
without reservation TO the opinion that ,ho,-
patient was practically out of danger and that
o'hS 'he possibility of complications threatenea
MS me- They die not give assurance OF HI.
recovery collectively over their SIGNATURES in on
ohiciai bulletin. That was more than cou1a bs
asked In reason Scientific men, no matter bov
strong their convictions might ba co,,,,
expected TO assume the grave responsibility q,
oi''ciaiiy proclaiming the certainty of the re-
coVery OF man lying on bed of pain with q
DuIet hole in his stomach But thew p,ar, = ,o,~
way toward it individually and separately Each
oi thein' with the exception of DR.. Rixa,, r,,o
Cld not leave the Milburn housa n1ao.. ,,,
SquareiF on record. not privately TO the frian5s
Vi 'ne PRESIDENT, but publicly through the
agency Of the press. that the danger noin. had
passed and that the President would survive
BULLET MAY NOT BE EXTRACTED
"of course. we shall all feel easier when a veerx
mas passed. said DIR. McBurney I'VE would
Ike to see every door locked and double 1ockad
but the danger from possible conlplcatio,s is
now very remote"
Ihe little piece OF lead in the muscles O, the
back is giving the physicians no concern what
ever Unless it should prove troublesome 10 the
President later on. he will probably carry .h;s
sriii souvenir or the anarchist with him TO the
end OF his days The doctors say that. once en-
cSsted 1t can DO no harm. Thousands of r,ap
are to-day walking the earth in perfect health
with much larger chunks of lead in their bodies.
Ine N-ray machine is ready for tnsts,, rsa
however and if there is the slightest ,,ear,,,,
ton or pain in the vicinity of the bullet. an
operation will be performed.

President. who have remained here TO await The
issue. accepted the verdict of the physicians To-
day as practically conclusive. and there wa. an
exodus of these who considered their presence
no longer necessary. ce-President Roosevelt

Bay Senator Hanna returned to C,1avaIo,. 49,,
business. to be gone two days. and Controller

members Of the Cabinet still here will remain a
rev days rather as friends who have been tn,,.
mateiy associated with the President for vss-s
than as public officials

In the sickroom many evidences of the d.,

time he would carefully turn and gain -
more restful position Yesterday he took tb.
precaution 20 ask il he might be permittad ~
move. but to-day he changed his position of his
own voftion. without difficulty The nurses
observed with care these evidences OF
growing vigor and courage. and were readv
to see that there no undue tax on the Pres.
ident's strength and no straining of the wound
These slight movements from side 10 side are all
that he has attempted thus far and IL is too
early yet to think OF his sitting UP in bed or o.
any other marked of his muscles
FOOD BY NATURAL MEANS
A most important development of the day was
the private determination reached among those
In charge OF the case that food should be adj
ministered to the patient by the mouth
Not since the shooting had morsel of
food been given to the President by natural
means. but the drain his system has been met
by dissolved foods administered by injection.
This has been period of four days of fasting
