emerged from the house. They had
been in consultation an hour and 30
minutes. The length of the consul.
tation had created some uneasiness
and this was somewhat increased
when it was learned that DR.. Nc.
Burney, who had intended to leave
for Stockbridge, Conn.,, at 11:2O had
missed his train and had decided to
remain over until tonight. But the
doctor himself did all he could to dis.
pei the idea that the change in his
plans portended anything serious. In
fact, he took occasion to announce as
an additional evidence of the improve.
ment of the patient that it had been
decided to begin to give the presi-
-aest neurirss,zsc,,+-. s,-o-,sJ,- the mouth
at once instead of waiting until to-
day, as had been intended. Beef ex-
tract had been preferred, DR.. Nc
Burney announced, and it was being
administered as the physicians left.
The other physicians who listened to
DR.. McBurney's statement assented
to it, and then all entered an auto
mobile and were whisked away. I'm
mediately afterward storm which
had been gathering broke, and for a
few minutes the rain came down in
torrents.
Out of Danger.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE corps
of eminent surgeons and physicians
in attendance upon the wounded
president Tuesday committed them
selves without reservation to the
opinion that their patient was out of
danger, and that only the possibility
of complications threatened his life.
They did not give assurance of his
recovery collectively over their sig
natures in the official bulletin, but
they went a long way toward it in
diridually and separately during the
day. Each of them, with the excep-
ton Of DIR. Rixey, who did not leave
the Milsurn residence, placed himself
squarely on record, not privately to
the friends of the president, but pub
1icly 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.
1--WE would like TO see every door
locked. and double locked, but the
danger from possible complications is
now very remote"
Bail VIII Not Be Extracted
The little piece of lead in the
muscles of the back is giving the ply
sicians no concern whatever. Unless
it should prove troublesome to the
president later on, he will probably
carry this grim souvenir of the an.
archfst with him to the end of his
days. The doctors say that once en-.
cysted, 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 operation will be
performed.
Leave for Their Homes.
The vice president, members of the
cabinet. Senator Hanna and the 9th
er distinguished friends of the presi-
dent who have remained here to
await the issue, accepted the verdict
of the physicians as practically con.
elusive, and there was an exodus of
those who considered their presence
no longer necessary. Vice President
Roosevelt left for his home at Oyster
Bay, Senator Hanna returned to
Cleveland on business, to be gone two
days, and Comptroller Dawes went
back to Washington. Abner McKin-
ley, the presidents brother, will re-
main a few days longer. but his fam
lily have returned home, and Mrs.
Duncan and several other relatives of
The president have gone. Judge Day.

president, returned to Canton Tues
lay afternoon. The five members OF
The cabinet still here will remain q
lew days, rather as friends who have
'een intimately associated with the
PRESIDENT for several years, than as
,ublic officials.
