 had called to see MT Milburn, said that MT Milburn had informed him that there had been some encouragement during the last half hour and that 1t was believed that the president had a fighting chance.
 pr Mynter arrived at S:23. 'I saw the president at o'clock" said he. ''His condition was.then very grave"
 Dr Park did not reach the house iiIl- til S:45 o'clock, being the last of the physicians to arrive for the morning consultation.
 A stream of callers began arriving early. Several of the foreigners con nected with the exposition arrived to inquire about the presidents cond1- ton. All callers were met at the door by Mir AIilburn, who informed them that the president has rallied fairly we'll. Major Symmons of the army, one of the callers, said he had bean informed that the president was a very, very sick man. But the phy- sicians say he has a fighting chance" said he.
 Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson, who left the house about , o'clock this morning, returned in an electric cab at 9:20. They stopped on the lawn to speak to Abner Mckinley before enter ing the house.
 At 9:13 the scene about the Milburn residence was one that will live in the memory of those who witnessed it as long as life lasts. Down the streets ill every direction people were massed hundreds deep. while at the corner where the headquarters of the press are located correspondents of all of tf;e leading journals of the world were waiting ready to flash the first news as far as the wires reached, while within the tents the busy telegraph instru- mentS were clicking off the sad intel ligence.
 In front of the residence the blue coated soldiers paced with arms at right shoulder. All were waiting brathlessly for news. In miniature the scene could be said to represent the expectant world awaiting the last word of the battle of a great man. at the zenith of his fame, was making against the great enemy of mankind.
 The doctors finished their consulta- ton at $40. They left the house to- gether and stopped for a few minutes on the lawn to convey their verdict first to the presidents brother. Chap lain Sykes of the navy in his black veStments, who had come to inquire after the presidents health, lifted his bat as the men upon whom the presi- dents life depends passed him. The physicians looked grave and serious as they walked away from the residence.
 Dr Mann and Dr Mynter came away together. 'EWe are very anXious,' said Dr Mann, '.very anXious,'' he repeated, as he entered the carriage in waiting.
 Have you given up hopew
 'sBy no means" replied the doctor.
 'Is he better than when you saw him last?"
 .'He is better than he was in rhe early morning." he responded, as he directed the coachman to drive away.
 Dr Mynter had little encouragement to offer.
 T am not absolutely without hope" said he. "The president has a fighting chance, but I would be more hopeful if the day was passed and he had gained little strength. He has inn proved some since early this morning, but the improvement is very slight. The trouble lies with his heart. We are stimulating it and our treatment has been fairly successful"
 Dr Mynter admitted that saline sc- lution and other means to keep up the action of the heart were being ad- ministered.
 Do you still have hope of saving the presidents life?" Dr Mynter was asked.
 "I will say in answer to your ques- tion," replied Dr Mynter. hesitatingly, ''that I do not consider the case abso- lutely hopeless. 1 should be more hopeful if the day were passed and it had shown some improvement in his condition"
