s ssOf course we will all feel easier when q week has passed" said Dr. Me- Burney, the dean of the corps. We would like to see every door locked and double locked, but the danger from pos able complications is now very re- mote"
 As an evidence of the supreme faith lie holds Dr. McBurney after the morn- Afng consultation, made trip to Mag sara Falls and this evening returned to New York. The little piece Of lead in the muscles of the back is giving the nhysicians no concern whatever. Unless aft should prove troublesome to the pres Hfdent later on he will probably carry afI1is grim souvenir of the anarchist with him to the end of his days. The Sdoct ors say that once encysted it can do no harm. The X-ray machine IS ready for instant use, however, and If there is the slightest Inflammation or pain in the vicinity of the bullet an sCperation will be performed.
 The vice president, members of the cabinet, Senator Hanna, and the other sdistinguished friends of the president vyi1o have rnained here to await the is- Islie. accepted the verdict of the physi- clans to-day as practically conclusive and there was an exodus Of those who their presence no longer nec- essary. Vice President Roosevelt left this evening for his home at Oyster RBay. Senator Hanna returned to Cleve- land on business to be gone two days, ai1d Comptroller Dawes went back to
 Nashington to-night Abner McKin- lev. the presidents brother, will re- main few days longer, but the mem bers of his family have returned home, and Mrs. Duncan and several other relatives of the president have gone home. Judge Day, long and closely associated with the president, returned ,fo Canton this afternoon. The five members of the cabinet still here will remain a few days rather as friends who have been intimately associated
 with the president for years than as ypublic officials.
 The presidents physicians have been 4rnDressed with his remarkable recu- perative powers and the rapidity of his Ritnnroyement. Ordinarily an incision agfor such an operation as was performed upon the chief executive should heal within three weeks. but in the presi- dents case it may be strong enough for him to be moved a little sooner.
 Within the sick room many evidences #of the patients improvement were ap- parent. The president himself began to show confidence in his ability to car for himself, and from time to time he would carefully turn himself and gain s more restful position. Yesterday he took the precaution to ask if he might be permitted to move, but to-day he changed his position of his own voli- ton, without difficulty. The nurses gsraturally observed with care these evil aS1ences of growing strength and cour- age, and were ready to see that there was no undue tax on the presidents $ strength or the straining of the wound. These slight moveents from side to side are all that he has attempted thus far < A most important development of 5the day was the private determination reached among those in charge of the ease that food should be administered to the patient through the mouth. Not since the shooting had a particle of food been given to the president by natural means, but the drain of his system has been met by dissolved foods Administered by injection. This has been period of four days of fasting from ordinary means of nourishment.
 The importance of this feeding by fhe mouth is that it will restore the normal action of the stomach for the first time since that organ had both saits walls pierced by 9 bullet The doc tors are satisfied that the time has come to renew these normal functions and the four days which have elapsed since the wounds in the stomach were closed. give very assurance that the sutures are sufficiently healed to allow snature to resume her sway.
