OUT OF DANGER.

Euffalo, n Y. Sept. 10.-Tha corps
Of eminent surgeons and physicians in
attendance upon the wounded Presi-
dent. today. committed themselves
without reservation to the opinion that
their patient was out Of danger and
that only the possibility of Compiica-
tinns threatened his life. They dii MOI
give assurance Of his recovery coilec +
iyelv over their signatures in an off
cial bulletin, but they went long way
toward it individually and separately.
During the day each of them, with
the exception of DR.. RiXey. who did
not leave the Milburn residence. placed
himself squarely on record, not prl-
vately to the friends of the President,
but publicly through the agency of the
press. that the danger point had passed
and that the President would survive
the attempt upon his life.
.Of course we will all feel easier
when a week has passed" said DR..
McBurney. the dean of the corps. I'VE
would like to see every door locked and
double locked. but the danger from
possible complications is now very re-
mote
AZ an evidence Of the supreme faith
ne holds. DR.. McBurney after the
mo, ming consultation, made ufp 10
Niagara Falls. and, this evening. re
Ia, ned to New York. He could reach
here again in 10 hours, if the unexpect-
ed should happen and there should be
change for the worse.
The little piece Of lead in the mus
cles of the back is giving the physi-
clans no concern whatever. Unless it
should prove troublesome to the Pres
ident later on he will probably carry
this grim souvenir Of the Anarchist
with him to the end of his days. The
doctors say that once encysted it can
do no harm.
The X-ray machine is ready for in
slant use. however. and if there is the
slightest inflammation or pain in the
vicinity of the bullet. an operation will
be performed.
Vice President Roosevelt left, this
evening, for his home at Oyster Bay.
Senator Hanna returned to Cleveland
on business to be gone two days, and
Controller Dawes went back to Wash
inrton tonight. Abner Mckinley, the
Presidents brother. will remain few
days longer. but the members Of his
family have returned home and Mrs.
Duncan and several other relatives Of
the President have gone. Judge Day,
long and closely associated with the
President. returned to Canton. this
afternoon. The five members of the
cabinet still here will remain a few
days.
Vice President Roosevelt left the city.
at $50 tonight. for Oyster Bay. perfectly
confident that the President will recover.
So confident was he. in fact. that when
a question of doubt was put to him he
answered it with a parry. He was ask
ed;
DO you remember that President Gar
field progressed for 10 days and that then
lust when he was ready to get out he col
lapsed and finally died.?
