THERE'S HOPE FOR THE PRESIDENT
The Washington correspondent ol
the Cha lesion Sunday News t,legraphs
the following under date of Sept. Z:
Alter night and a day of anxiety
and waiting at the White House wave
OF hope for the Presidents recovery
came from Buffalo in confidential
communication to one of the ranking
! olicols at tic Executive Mansion
| While the official bulletins received
were carefully wOrded and technical IN
their nature, they did not convey the
same amount of encouragement aud
hopcfulncss contained in the conve.sa-
tlon over the long distance telephone
from one who is in close attendance
upon Mr.. Mckinley. III Substance
the message Wa, to the effect that the
family and friends at the Presidents
bedside have ample reason TO hope fer
his ultimate lccovery, Notwithstanding
the fluctuations in the distinguish d
PATIENTS pulse and temperature shown
In the official bulletins. 1t must be
remembered and considered that the
President Is suffering from TWO violent
ana dangerous attacks upon his physi-
Cal endurance. The nrst shock was
0ccasioned by the assassia's bullets.
mat Itself Is sufficient to PROSTATE any
ordlnary p, rsOn. Following close upon
thc llrst shock came the severe and cX-
tremcly delicate operation. Heroic
methods seemed necessary and the
PRESIDENT appears TO have been the
hero OF the occ ,sion. For notwith- /
standing the almost desperate ordeal !
through which he has passed during
the past twcnty.four hours, there are
and gratifying Indications
that he has sufficient vitality to rally
from the heavy drain made upon his
resources. 4
DIR. RlXey and those who are at the
Presidents bedside base their hope of
the Ilesidents recovery on the fact
lhat the wounded Executive is mole
than an ordinary man, from health
lul standpoint, and therein lies his
strength TO overcome, perhaps, the
double assault up N his vitality. Prior
To the attempt upon his life he was III
perfect health. His habits are regular,
and his digestion and rules Of life per-
feet. ltis believed that the ball, being
quite small in calibrc, did not make q
very large punclurc III either the front
Or the back walls OF the stomach:
therefore there Is reason 10 hope that
no serious consequence may follow
from gases or juices from the stomach
leaking through into the abdomen. 1t
IS ful ther believed that the bullet
which inflicted the greatest IL Jury has
been located, OF, ut any rate, it is con-
idcntly believed that the ball may rest
where it is for the present, without
causing any direct in jury to the patient
or retard the progress Of his hope lor
recovery. These conditions have been
given careful consideration by the at
tending surgeons, and they inspire
with hopefulncss those who are so
eager and anxious TO sec the crisis,
which should be reached tomorrow,
pass successfully.
If warm and sincere expressions of
from all parts of the globe
will help President Mckinley recover,
here Will be no occasion for the agita-
lion, already started, as to when Vice
President Roosevelt will assume Presi-
Dental functions. The entire clerical
force Of the Executive Mansion was on
duty to-day, busy handling the thous.
ands of messages of sympathy.
Thousands of messages of sympathy
were directed to the President and
Mrs. Mckinley from the four quarters
Of The earth. The Emperor and En-
press OF Germany sent a combined
message addressed to Mrs. Mckinley.
The King of Portugal also addressed
nls message to Mrs. Mckinley. King
Edward, OF England, President L4ubet,
of France, the Governors of Australia
and Cape Colony, and representatives
of other foreign countries addressed
their messages to President Mckinley.
Only the most important messages were
repeated by wire to Buffalo, and the
others will be forwarded by mail.
