confident of his recovery"
OUT OF DANGER.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.-What may be
termed the crisis night, the fourth
since the dastardly attempt on the life
of President Mckinley. passed without
a single symptom unfavorable to the
presidents recovery. 1t was moment
or so after o'clock when the first bul-
1etin was issued, although the bulletin
in itself was dated 500 o'clock. 1t was
signed by Drs. Park and Rixey, who
divided the night watch. It's tone OF
hopefulness was the most decided OF
any given out since the president was
shot. At o'clock the doctors began
putting in their appearance for the
formal morning consultation. During
the early hours rain fell and the brac-
ing air. that lent some comfort to the
patient thus far, gave way to a chill
and muggy wind. The results of the
morning conference were made known
about o'clock, as the doctors came
from the house. Their faces clearly in
dicated satisfaction at the condition OF
affairs.
''The condition of the president is en-
tirely satisfactory" said DR.. Park
1.-THE president slept well and when
awake he was CHEEKY and even chatty'
He is not receiving any nourishment
thus far except by enema" 'Do you
regard the president entirely out OF
danger?" was asked. II do not want to
go that far. What can be said is, that
unless there are unexpected complica-
tions we expect him to recover"
DR.. Park referred to the fact that the
bulletins were most conservative and
gave the results such as the medical
fraternity would be expected to pass
upon in the case of any citizen.
"It would be well to have it stated
he added, that the president Is not be-
ing deprived of the benefits of private
citizenship. He is being treated exact
ly as any other citizen would be, and
is getting the benefit of it. We view
the case just as that of any other man
who might be similarly afflicted"
DR.. Parks latter statement will ex-
plain the fact that the official bulletins
are based on rigid scientific principles
as they are applicable alike to all cases
of surgery.
To the queries Of newspaper men,
DR.. Mynter said: "The president is do
ing splendidly, and he is out of tha
woods, if I may express it that way
Eyes" chimed in DR.. Wasdin. "and he
has plenty of daylight behind him."
DR.. McBurney was in high spirits
..Is the president out of danger?" was
asked. 1--WE believe he is practically
out of danger" he replied. "Of course
there are still possibilities in the case
and we will know better when the week
has gone by. But this improvement Il
so marked, and his symptoms are 50
good that we feel safe In assuring the
public that he will recover. Blood pol
son might still develop, but the chances
are remote. AS for peritonitis, con-
slider that danger passed"
