STATEMENT BY THE DOCTORS.

Late Presidents Physicians Deny Re-
ports of DissensiOns.
The following statement was given out in
Buffalo last night by the physicians who
attended President Mckinley during his
last illness:
The undersigned surgeons and physicians
who were In attendance on the late Presi-
dent Mckinley have had their attention
called to certain sensational statements re-
Gently published indicating dissensions and
mutual recrimination among them.
: We desire to say to the press and public,
once for ALL that every such publication
and all alleged interviews with any of
US containing criticism Of one another or
of any Of our associates are false.
We say again that there was never Sc
rtous disagreement among the professional
attendants as to any of the symptoms or
as to the treatment of the case. or as to
the bulletins which were issued. A very
unusual harmony of opinion and action
prevailed all through the case.
The unfortunate result could not have
been foreseen before the unfavorable symp-
toms declared themselves late on the sixth
day, and could not have been prevented by
any human agency.
Pending the completion and publication
of the official reports of the post-mortem
examiners and attending staff, we shall re-
fuse to make any further statements for
any Of us may be known to be fictitious.

COMMENT ON MR.. ROOSEVELT.
German Press Regard His Utterance
With Much Intereat

German Press Regard His Utterances
With Much Interest.
A Berlin dispatch says: The German press
devotes considerable attention to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's declaration Of policy, ex-
pressing great satisfaction with his adop-
tion Of the utterances Of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley as to reciprocity. 1--WE
hope" says the Lokal Anzeiger. "that he
will succeed In placing the economic re-
lations Of the United States and Europe
upon secure basis and develop the same"
The Kleine Journal observes: This dec
laration inaugurates a new era In the eco
nomic history OF the United States. an era
OF tariff concessions to Europe"
Mr.. ROOSeyelt's remarks with reference
to promoting transportation facilities with
South America are widely commented upon.
"They deserve the greatest attention" says
the National Zeitung, 'since the CONNER
cial interests of the United States in South
America are opposed to those Of Germany,
which has found an important and valuable
market there" The Berliner Tageblatt
also points out the Importance to Germany
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendation.
The Vossische Zeitung concludes long
editorial as follows: "All in all, President
Roosevelt favors an extension Of the eco
nomic power of the United States in all
directions and Of their political power on
the American continent"
The National Zeitung summarizes the
Presidents character as follows: ''He is an
interesting and many-sided President, full
Of activity and life; whole-hearted, warm
blooded and an enthusiastic optimist."

Milwaukee Magnate Says st. Louis

Milwaukee Magnate Says st. Louis
VIII he In American League.
1t is almost a foregone conclusion now
that the Milwaukee ball club will be trans
ferred to St. Louis next season. The club
will not be conducted by Messrs. Killilea
and Gross, but will be run by st. Louis
parties, who will secure a controlling inter-
est from Matt Killilea. Mr.. Killilea, who
has been i'll for some time, Is rather de-
sirous of retiring from the base ball field
for good and selling out. He was in st.
Louis all last week looking over the
grounds. having been persuaded to go by
the American League people and also by
st. Louis promoters In speaking Of the
matter Mr. killilea said:
Nothing definite has been done yet. Mr..
Gross realizes as do that as long there
is war with the National League the Mil
waukee club cannot pay the salaries neces-
sary to cope with the teams put in the
fields by Boston Philadelphia, Chicago and
Washington. l was offered $50 600 for my
interest by st. Louis people and / went
there to investigate affairs. feel like re-
firing from the game. If there was no war
then Milwaukee would be sure to remain in
the American League. You must fight the
devil with fire and the American League
must go into the National Leagues terri
tory to wage a successful warfare. Be-
fore peace Is declared the American League
will doubtless be In New York and st.
Louis.

PITCHER PHILLIPs, VIEW.

Thinks National League Is Blundering
I'm Not Signing Its Players.
Pitcher Phillips Of the Cincinnati club Is
one Of the many players who fear that
the National League is making big mis-
take in not trying to sign as many of it's
players as possible for next season. Last
year the National League went into the
fight with the American League with SO
contemptuous q confidence in It's own
strength that 1t ignored entirely the play
ers' end OF the fight. The result was that
when the National awoke to the fact that
It did have fight on the American had
taken some forty or more Of its players
away. This year the conditions are more
favorable to the National League in that
1t Is not hampered in its signing OF the
players by the Players' Protective Asso-
citation, which 1t refused to recognize un-
til in the spring of the present year. How
ever, the National takes q handicap by
failing to go after any OF its players and
allowing the opposition to do all the ne
gotiating for the stars, many OF whom
have already signed with the American.
and there will be more to follow. What a
jolly fight 1t will be next season with the
present Pittsburg team intact bucking
against the other seven teams shorn Of
some Of their best playersf A shipment
Of alarm clocks would be good thing for
