county, State and National pri.in, make a vigorous prosecution. Unless Governor Cdell Is asked to interfere, I see no req son for calling an extra term and depu- tizing an Assistant Attorney General to rrosecute."
 Asked as to the enactment of legisla- ton against anarchists, he said: Question of Legislation. T have not thought much on the mat ter. What has disturbed me has been to | find reason for even anarchists to at- tack man like President Mckinley. Here is the one country where they are allowed perfect freedom of speech. Here the ruler is a man, descended from farm CT stock, self-made. Here is a man who has no fortune or no means other than that which he may manage to save out of his salary as President. Probably many a workingman in the United States today has as large an amount of real es- tate as Mir. Mckinley. In addition he is a kindly disposed Christian gentleman, and in every great emergency in which
 he could act, he has been a friend of the common people. Why should he be
 shot at, then, even by anarchists
 The Presidents physicians have been impressed with his remarkable recupera- tive powers and the rapidity of his im-
 provement. Ordinarily, an incision for
 such an operation as was performed upon the Chief Executive should heal in three weeks. but in the Presidents case, he
 may be strong enough to be moved a lit- tie sooner. The President will be taken
 direct to Washington as soon as it is safe to move him.
 Within the sick room many evidences of the Presidents improvement are ap- parent. The President himself began to show confidence in his ability to care for himself, and from time to time he would carefully turn himself to get a
 more restful position Yesterday he took the precaution to ask if he might be per-
 mitted to move, but today he changed
 his position on his own Volttion, without
 difficulty. The President asked for the
 papers again today and also asked when
 he would be allowed to sit up. A most interesting development of the day was the determination reached by those in charge of the case that food should be administered W1 the patient to- morrow by the mouth.
 Not since the shooting has a morsel of food been given to the patient by nat
 ural means. but the drain on the system has been met by dissolved foods admin istered by injection.
 The importance of this feeding by the mouth is that it will restore the normal action of the stomach for the first time since that organ had both its walls
 pierced by a bullet The doctors are sat isfied that the time has come to renew these normal functions and the four days which have elapsed since the wounds in the stomach were closed give every assurance that the sutures are sufficiently healed to allow nature to re- sume her sway.
 No member of the cabinet has yet been within the sick room, nor has the Vice. President nor those closest into the con- fidence of the President, such as Sena- tor Hanna and Judge Day, seen the President.
 It was said today by one of the Presi- dents associates who was present at the first operation that Dr. Mann displayed his consummate skill and calmness by going about the operation as if the pa- tient were a child with a slight com plaint. And yet Dr. Mann has since told friend that when he realized the duty before him, although he had perfoI med
 hundreds of operations of lapaotomy he would have sacrificed all he possessed to have escaped the respor sibility of oI- erating upon the President of the Uni ted States
