snoureo ana rougnr, women screamed
and children Grief. Some of those
nearest the doors fled from the edifice
in fear of a stampede, while hun
dreds of others from the outside
struggled blindly forward in the ef-
fort to penetrate the crowded build
ing and solve the mystery of excite
ment and panic which every moment
grew and swelled within the oongest-
ed interior of the edifice.
OF the multitude which witnessed or
bore part in the scene of turmoil
there was but one mind which seemed
to retain it's equilibrium, one hand
which remained steady, one eye which
gazed with unflinching calmness and
one voice which retained it's even
tenor and faltered not at the most
critical juncture.
They were the mind and hand and
eye and the voice of President Nc
Nnley.
After the first shock of the assas-
sins shot he retreated a step, then,
as the detectives leaped upon his as
sailant, he turned, walked steadily to
n chair and seated himself, at the
same time removing his hat and bow
ing his head in his hands.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile adj
monishing those about him to remain
aa1 fnI fa hQ
alarmed.
But you are wounded" cried his
secretary, "let me examine"
"No, think not" answered the
president. 81 am not badly hurt, ]
assure you."
Nevertheless his outer garments
we're hastily loosened and when a
trickling stream of crimson was seen
to wind it's way down his breast,
spreading it's tell-tale stain over the
white surface of the linen, their worst
fears were confirmed.
The presidents assailant in the
meantime had been hustled by exposi-
ton guards to the rear of the build
lIsg, where he was held while the
building was cleared and later he was
turned over to Superintendent Bull
Of the Buffalo police department, who
took the prisoner to. No. 13 police sta
ton and afterward to police head
quarters. AS soon as the crowd in the
Temple of Music had been dispersed
sufficiently, the president was removed
in the automobile ambulance and
taken to the exposition hospital,
where an examination was made. The
best medical skill was summoned, and
within brief period several of Buff
falo's best-known practitioners were
at the patients side.

Milburn House, Buffalo, n. Y, Sept
1O.-The president will live, but will
probably carry the bullet of the
would-be assassin with him to the
grave. This is the expressed opinion
of DIR. Chas. McBurney, of New York,
in a statement to n press representa-.
tive after the morning consultation
of the physicians. He announced that
the president had passed the danger
point, and now only the possibility of
complications remained. He also an
nounced that unless the bullet, imbed-
ded in the muscles of the back caused
trouble, there would be no necessity
to extract it. In his opinion it would
not even be located with the X-ray.
The only use of the x-ray, he said,
would be to satisfy curiosity.
All Are Confident.
All the other physicians were equal.
ly confident after the morning con-
sultation, that recovery was assured.
DR.. Mynter said the president was

by adding with plenty of daylight be-

DIR. Roswell Park expressed it this
way: UNLESS unexpected complica-
tions occur we expect him to recover"
Everybody JubiIant.
The faces of the sentries who paced
their beu,., before the sun grew radi-
ant; the tireless workers of the press
were jubilant, and the people who
gathered at the lines were so over
Joyed with the strong assurance given
that several times they were on the
point of raising cheer. Even the eX-
position managers began to plan "A
day of Thanksgiving, not alone for the
exposition, but one IN which the
whole country could join. 1t is to
be given the aspect of a national day
Of rejoicing. They are arranging that
on a certain day the bells of all the
cities and towns in the United States,
he set ringing and that the rejoicing
be hcralded with the footing of whis-
ties and the booming of cannon.
Distinguished Callers.
The members of the cabinet, Sena-
tor Hanna, Gen. Grosvenor (who ar
rived from Ohio this morning,) and
all the other distinguished friends of
the president who have remained
there to await the issue of the at
tempt on his life, hurried to the Mil
burn residence to learn the particu-
lars and join in the general jubilation.
For hours carriages and automobiles
streamed up Delaware avenue. Down
town, the people gathered in crowds
at the bulletin boards and gave vent
to their feelings in rejoicing and ut
the exposition the thousands of visi-
tors who read the bulletins posted
everywhere burst into cheers.
