ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED.

ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED.
Another milestone passed on the road
to recovery was the discontinuapce to-
day by the doctors of the figures show
ing respiration variations in their OFF,
cial bulletins. The President now
breathes deeply and normally and the
addition of the respiration record to
the bulletin was considered valueless.
The Presidents pulse was slightly ac-
celebrated in the afternoon, but the
change was not deemed material and
his temperature remained practically
stationary at 1902 from daylight until
dark.
1.-The evidence of improvement were
the Presidtn's keen relish uf the heef
| the increase in his allowance from n
to three teaspoonfulls AMI also the
fact that the wound is becoming more
healthy"
DR.. McBurney explained this after
noon that the slight irritation Of the
wound still remaining should pass
away within the next "a hours.
The President is in excellent spirits,
but he confessed to one of the attend
ants to-day that he was getting lone
| some. He requested he be placed in
another bed. A depression had formed
in the mattress on which he has lain
since he was taken to the Milburn
house and had caused some discom-
fort.
Interested in the News.
Another bed was provided and this
evening he was carefully moved from
| one to the other without difficulty. He
has asked several times IL there was
any news which he should know, but
inquiries, especially about public mat
ters, are discouraged and the rigid in
bIbition against the admission Of any,
one except his wife and faithful secre-
tary has not been relaxed.
1t is now virtually decided that no at
, tempt will be made to remove the Pres
ident to Washington until he has COM
pletely recovered and in a general way
it can be said there Is no likelihood
that this will be until October.
The physicians are all agreed that no
attempt should be made to take the
President to Washington while the
probability of an oppressive hot spell
in the capital city remained.
Mrs. Mckinley still displays the same
fortitude she has shown since the trag-
edy occurred. She went out for a drive
again to-day and appeared bright and
cheerful.
The five members of the cabinet who
are here talked over pending public
questions for over an hour to-day at
the Gienny House adjoining the Mil
burn residence, but it is understood
that no action resulted. The South
American situation was gone over ana
there was an exchange of opinion re-
garding the legal phase OF the case
against the would-be assassin.
There is No Conflict.
at can be stated again in the most
positive manner that there is no con-
fict of authority between the state and
federal authorities for the possession
of the prisoner. The members OF the
cabinet, Attorney General Knox and
Secretary Gage as well as those VINO
are here are unanimously of the opin-
ion that Czolgosz's ofense is against
the State of New York and Erie county
and that there is no federal statute 10
cover the case. District Attorney Pen
ney consulted Secretary Root to-day
as to procedure. He did not seek Mr..
Roots opinion as secretary of war, but
as one of the ablest lawyers IN new
York State. 1t Is understood that the
local authorities are only awaiting the
result of the shot % formulate thelr
charge against the assailant OF the
President. After this afternoon bulie-
tin Secretary Hay said he felt warrant
ed in leaving for Washington n ne
left tonight for the capital.
