President.
Buffalo, Sept. 12.-The condition of
tho president continued favorable
throughout Wednesday and nothing
occurred to shake the faith the at.
tending surgeons and physicians had
expressed that he would recover. The
holes in the stomach proper, caused
by the perforation of the bullet, were
considered healed by DR.. McBurney
and his associates and the eminent
surgeon pointed to the fact that the
beef Juice, fed to the patient Wednes-
day night, was readily digested, as
proof of this. Sufficinet time had also
elansed to warrant the doctors in as.
serting that the danger Of infiamma-
tion where the bullet lodged had dis.
appeared. Ii was believed that the
ball had become encysted in the mus
cles Of the back and unless it's loca-
ton should prove troublesome later
on there may never be any necessity
for removing it.
Watched Wound From Incision.
The attention of the physicians
was therefore mainly directed to the
care and treatment of the wound
caused by the incision made in the
abdomen above the naval when tho
operation was performed. This wound
was progressing satisfactorily.
There was a discontinuance on
Wednesday by the doctors Of the fig.
ures showing respiration variations
in their official bulletins.
The president breathed deeply and
normally and the addition of the respi-
ration record to the bulletin was con.
sidered valueless. The presidents
pulse was slightly accelerated on
Wednesday afternoon, but the change
was not deemed material and his tenn
perature remained practically station
airy at 1902 from daylight until dark
The evidences Of Improvement were
the presidents keen relish Of the
beaf juice given him during Tues
day night and the increase in his al
luwance from one to three teaspoon
fuls and also the fact that the wound
was becoming more healthy"
DIR. McBurney explained yesterday
afternoon that the slight irritation of
the wound still remaining should
pass away within the next "a hours.
President in Excellent Spirits.
The president was in excellent spir.
its, but he confessed to one Of the
attendants Wednesday that he was
getting lonesome. He requested he
be placed in another bed. A depres-
sion had formed in the mattress on
which he has lain since he was taken
to the Milburn house and had caused
some discomfort. Another bed was
provided and last evening he was
carefully moved from one to the
other without difficulty. He had asked
several times II there was any news
which he should know, but inquiries,
especially about public matters, were
discouraged and the rigid inhibition
against the admission OF any one ex-
cept his wife and faithful secretary
had not been relaxed. II was virtual
ly decided that no attempt will be
made to remove the president to
Washington until he has completely
recovered, and in a general way 1t
can be said there is no likelihood
that this will be until October.
The physicians were all agreed that
no attempt should be made to take
the president to Washington while
the probability of an oppressive hot
spell In the capital city remained.
Mrs. Mckinley Displayed Fortitude.
Mrs. Mckinley still displayed the
same fortitude she has shown since
the tragedy occurred. She went out
Tor drive again Wednesday and ap-
Peared bright and cheerful. The five
members Of the cabinet were
here talking over pending public ques'
tons for over an hour Wednesday at
the Glenny house, adjoining the Mil.
burn residence, but 1t was understood
that no action resulted. The South
American situation was gone over
ami there was an exchange OF opinion
regarding the legal phases OF the
case against the would-be assassin,
1t can be stated again in the most
positive manner that there is no con
fict OF authority between the state
and federal authorities for the pos
session OF the prisoner. The mem
bers OF the cabinet, Attorney General
Knox and Secretary Gage, as well al
those who are here, were unanimously
OF me opinion that Czolgosz's offenss
is against the state of New York and
Erie county and that there is no fed
eral statute to cover the case. Dis
trict Attorney Penney consulted Sec
Tetary Root Wednesday as to pro
ceedure. He did not seek Mr.. Roots
opinion - secretary Of war, but q
