location Of the bullet This would have
greatly facilitated the accuracy of the
work and would have given positive
information as to the location of the
bullet. After locating the bullet, there
would have remained no doubt about its
subsequent harmfulness.
"The course of bullet in the human
body is ofientimes very erratic, fire.

extraordinary directions. The bullet in
this case may have been DETECTED. in
juring the liver at it's under surface. or
some other organ. The question of
paramount Importance now is septic in
lection. This may be caused by the
escape of the contents of the stomach
into the peritoneal cavity or from the
suppuratng track of the bullet, sunse-
quently affecting the peritonical cavity.
some bullets are infected before en-
tering the body and sonre become in
fected upon entering. Others remain
sterile throughout. The first thing 70 be
done is to locate the bullet. Then. If il is
in a dangerous place, it should be re-
moved. If 1t lies where it does no harm.
it may be just as well to let it remain.
From the published records Of the tenn
reraturc, pulse, and respiration of the
President, | should consider the outloo,,
very gloomy. This is because his telnrer-
AZURE throughout has shown a tendency to
rise, and his pulse has kept high. The
respiration does not Indicate anythjna
special, although it hes been high on one
or two occasions. This, however. is G,

nature the outlook at first is gloomy. bur

be one Of that class"
FATAL ENDING VERY IMPROBABLE
DR. j. Tabor Johnson, of 92e Seven
teenth street northwest, one of the besS
abdominal surgeons Of the city, in com
meRting last night on the Presidents con

Ktnley can die. | am confident | have

Gus operations than the one he has been
subjected to, and in each case had only
remote fears for my patients death. l
should say the condition surrounding the
affair in Buffalo are particularly favor
able. The danger from injuries of that
kind is in proportion to the delay before
operating, the loss of blood and the con-
dition Of the intestinal contents. Delay
Is especially dangerous. yesterday there
was practically no delay, the operation
having been performed almost imme-
diately | understand the hemmorrhage
was not serious. and | Judge from the
hour at which the shooting occurred the
intestines were nearly empty. In addition
to this is the fact that the President was
in Perfect health and that the operation
was performed in regular hospital by
the most skillful surgeons.
However, there are several possible
results which may prove fatal. My opin-
ion would he that it will be from four
days to one week before it is positively
assured he will recover, There is danger

Kimley And coupled with these suppli-
cations was a strong undercurrent or

There was no concerted action in this
matter by the churches other than that

nation Of Saturday calling on the pastors
of churches Of all denominations to direct
their services with special reference to
the SUFFERING President In the Protestant
Episcopal churches, almost without ex-
eeption, the fun text of the litany of gen
cral supplicaton was read and the name
Of President Mckinley was inserted in
the general prayer for the sick. In all
the Roman Catholic churches special
uniform prayer was offered at every mass
In majority OF the pulpits those occu-
pying them took as their theme the at
tempt on the life of Mr.. Mckinley and
in almost every case some reference was
made to the tragedy. In some instances
appeals were made for measures of sup
prcSslon against the ana}chlSIlc Tfopa-

Gastonia, n. c., Sept. S.-Tomorrow
(Monday) the people of Gastonia will
vote special tax for the maintenance of
their graded school 1t will be remem-
bered that in the May election they voted
a bond issue of $4,000 for the establish
ment of schools, but through an over
sight no provision was made for running
expenses. The bonds were sold at good
figure, the locations have been selected
and purchased and necessary buildings
have been provided If the tax issue goes
through Monday, the schools will be open
ed within a week or two. There is little
or no opposition to the special tax;
though since a majority of the vote is
required, there is some fears that lack
of interest may defeat the measure.

swelling, and possibly an ahcess could be
expected. This. Of course, Is possible. not

II would not be surprised if the second
bullet, which is now said to be lodged in
the fat muscles of the back, will never be
removed. Nature has a way of taking
care of objects of that kind which get
into the body and can't be taken out. Tt
forms a sort of incist about the object,
which keeps it from coming directly in
contact with and injuring the other or
gans. A great many people carry bullets
in their limbs and experience practically
no Inconvenience.
PENETRATION OF THE INTEsTINEs.
"But even when the intestines are
penetrated the case is not hopeless by
any means. Seven years ago Or. Hamil-
ton, then the surgeon general of the
Marine Hospital service, operated on a
person whose intestnes had been pene-
trated by bullet in eleven places Each
hole was sewed UP and the patient re-
covered. DR.. Vaughan. of Georgetown
College, operated a few years ago when
a bullet had penetrated the intestines in
thirteen places and had gone on and penc-
trated the liver and kidney I saw him
sew Up all the holes and some time
later knew the patient had recovered. 7
notice DR.. Hamilton says about 50 per
cent OF abdominal injuries from gunshots
prove fatal / disagree with him. Under
ordinary circumstances the percentage of
fatality is not so great as that, and
where conditions are as favorable as in
the Presidents case, it is not over 10
per cent

the President could not have been ex-
amined by an X-ray machine "rhat

the outlook for future prices and the
best methods TO adopt for pushing the

Tor several hours these officials were
in close consultation, deyising the best
ways and means for protecting the cot
ten producers interests in the sale Of
the present crop. 1t was the consensus
Of opinion, expressed at the meeting,
that the disastrous effects of the long
continued drought III Texas and the in
.cessant rains which have fallen over the
cotton belt within the last two weeks
east CT the Mississippi. have greatly re-
duced the anticipated yield, and that
the crop will fall short of last years
yield unless a decided change for the
better takes place at once.
1t was also agreed, owing to the in
creased demand for raw cotton in all
parts of the world, that the present
price OF cotton goods and the further
fact that consumption is exceeding sup
ply, that the producers Of the South
should demand minimum price of 10
cents per pound for all middling grades
placed on the market. Some statistical
facts bearing on the situation We're Dre-
sented at the meeting as coming from
reliable sources and indicating that the
present crop Will be 20 per cent short of
the last crop; that the Egyptian crop is

sumption for the next twelve months
