President Confident.
The president himself has been
cheerful, and has expressed confidence
in his recovery. Monday he asked for
morning paper, but this, of course,
had to be denied him. 1t is with some
difficulty that he can he restrained

spoken at intervals of several things
he proposes d do in the future Mon
day morning he asked TO be allowed to
change his position, and when per-
mission was given, before the attend
ants could move him, he changed to
the position he desired to assume
without difficulty or pain. This speaks
much for his general strength and
spirits. Mrs Mckinley saw him again
Monday for brief visit. and Secretary
Cortelyou was admitted for the first
time. No one else was allowed to see
him, although he inquired several
times who were below stairs.

The presidents assailant in the

of the building by exposition guards,

was cleared, and later he was turned
over to Superintendent Bull, of the

the prisoner to No. ID police station

Message. of Sympathy

The messages of sympathy from all
over the United States and all over the
world, in fact, have fairly overwhelmed
Secretary Corttiyuu. Two more white
house stenoyraphers have been sent for,
and upon their arrival, perhaps to-day,
some of the more important messages
will be made public. Almost every
government in the world has been
heard from, most of the crowned heads
of Europe sending personal messages.
Among the latter are King Edward
VII, Emperor William. the Kings of
Portugal, Italy and Sweden and the
sultan of Turkey. President Loubet,
of the republic of France, has also
called his sympathy direct. One of
the most touching messages thus far
received was from Nine. Labor. the
wife of Maitre Labori, who defended
Dreyfus in his famous trial at Rcnnes.

which President Mckinley lies. The
conference continued for about an
hour. and closed shortly before one

arising out of the conflict between
Colombia and Venezuela was gone
over quite fully, but there was no de-
termination beyond that of carrying
forward the policy already inaugur-

leave this and kindred issues largely
to his decision. Several other public
questions were gone over, but it was

not reached and that they were not
