issued by the presidents physicians at
$3.50 this afternoon:
THE president continues to gain and

Buffalo, Sept, 1.-THE president con-
tinues to show the most unmistakable
evidence Of Improvement and recovery
and the uneasiness caused by last
nights dressing of the abdominal wound
has given way to more pronounced COIL
fcence than has existed at any time
eince the shooting.
The incident OF last night never had
& sny Significance to the doctors and such
as 1t had given rise to in the lay mind
I was quickly dispelled when the physi-
clans arrived this morning. Their 9
O'clock bulletin pronounced the presi-
dent in excellent condition and made
known he had slept well and had expe-
rienced decided benefits from dressing
the outer wound. But the doctors did
not confine themselves to a brief official
bulletin. They were ready to frankly
nnd fully discuss the case in all its bear
ings. This gave everybody anthorita-
tive information on the circumstantial
details OF the presidents condition, all
showing the most highly satisfactory
condition. AS to the reopening Of the
abdominal inclsion. this was dismissed
as part of the treatment necessary to
the progress Of such wounds. AS TO the
minor wounds, where the bullet pcne-
trated the walls of the stomach, there
was the most gratifying progress, as the
stomach is now carrying on normal di-
gestive processes. Beef juice, which was
fed by the mouth for the first time last
sight, had been assimiiated without. the
slightest indication that the wounds IL,
The stomach had retarded the process.
The president himself shovel many
signs Of Improvement.
He was SO CHEEKY that one Of the
doctors remarked they would let him
smoke cigar before long. He had
shown not the slightest depression from
the dressing Of the wound last night.
Mrs. Mckinley had her usual morn
Ing visit. The situation is SO bright
that all those about the president and
many who dame to inquire as to the
presidents condition We're cheered with
confidence akin to absolute certainty
that the president is now on the high
road to recovery.
There continued to be talk Of early
removal to Washington, altho the doc
tors are not willing to place any such
movement within two or three weeks
and some of them held this climate
10 much more conducive to his pro-
gress than that Of the national cap
ital.
Buffalo, Sept. 1.-THE doctors at this
mornings consultation at the bedside of
the president was rather longer than
usual, but this was to be expected after
the events OF last night 1t was noticed
no cabinet officer had called since early
last evening, SO that it was apparent
those nearest the president, in cfficial
capacity. were not alarmed over the
happenings OF last night. The confer
ence broke up at 9:15. When DR.. Myn-
ter left the house he said: TT is all
good news. The action we took last
night proved beneficial. / feel more
confidence in the presidents recovery
than at any time since he was shot.
Everything is favorable and we have
stripled his nourlshment, giving him now
three teaspoonsful of beef Juice every
hour. instead ofSone. But the presidents
recovery will be slow. All talk OF him
i sitting up In few days and leaving
Buffalo in week is nonsense. / shall
be satisfied II he can be moved in six
weeks Dr.. Mynter said DIR. Mann had
taken out the strips in the wound last
night. He said the necessity for this
I action was not unusual in such cases
{ He said the president was doing excel
Slently. He drank water freely, passed 1t
freely and his constitution and bowels
were atisfactory. 1t could not be bet
ter. The president is doing well and
everything following what was done last
night has been most natural and Zatis-
s1sctory.
s;sD Or. McBurney expressed surprise
when informed that alarming stories fol-
lowed the issuance OF last nights bulle-
tins II think the bulletin was perfectly
frank In the assurance that no lcompii-
cations could follow.
He then explained the character OF the
irritation which made the reopenin1 OF
