AS Mr.. Roosevelt and Senator
Hanna turned to their carriage an
attempt was made to photograph the
Vice President, but he turned away
kurriedly with mo, no." indicat-
ing that it was not time for such
scenes.
Callers I'm a Cheerful Mood.
Robert T. Lincoln, son of Presi-
dent Lincoln, and former Secretary
of War, came from the Milburn
house soon after Mr.. Roosevelt and
Senator Hanna retired. Mr.. Lin
coin expressed the same hopeful
view of the situation and regarded
the condition of the patient as alto
gether favorable.
Shortly after the departure Of Vice
President Roosevelt and Senator
Hanna, Secretary Gage, Secretary
Root, Secretary Hitchcock and At
torney General Knox emerged and
walked down Delaware avenue to-
gether. All of them shared in the
cheerful feeling which prevailed at
the Milburn house.

Each of these members of the cab
met was exceedingly optimistic, al
though admitting the possibility and
danger of future complications.
Secretary Gage said that if an
other day passed without an indica-
ton OF peritonitis the physicians felt
that the danger from that source
would be over. If the suppuration
should appear in the neighborhood
of the bullet later they seemed to feel
that no difficulty would be expert
enced in removing it.
The members of the cabinet will
remain here until the issue of the
Presidents illness is definitely deter
mined. If the physicians pronounce
him out of danger they will return at
once to Washington, where they can
be together and in frequent consul
tation if necessity arises.
Word From Secretary Hay.
Word was received from Secre-
tary of State Hay today that he
would reach here tomorrow. Secre-
tary Long has not yet signihed his
intention of coming.
Secretary Hay was heard from this
morning from Newbury, N. H. A
telegram coming to Chief Clerk
Michael of the State Department,
who is here, stated that the Secretary
would leave for Buffalo tomorrow
morning. 1t is expected that he will
be able to reach here late Monday
night. When he arrives there will
be full representation of the cab
met, with the exception of Secretary
Long.
On the arrival of Mr.. Hay answers
will be framed to many messages of
coincidence which have come from
crowned heads and rulers through
out the world. These messages con-
tinue to arrive, one of them being a
deeply sympathetic message from
President Diaz of Mexico.
All of the foreign representatives
who have been here have now depart
ed for Washington, the Japanese
minister, Mr.. Takahira, being the
last to leave this morning.
Where the President May BE Taken.
There has yet been little discussion
OF the place to which President Nc
Kinley will be moved in the event of
his convalescence. The prevailing
impression seems to be that if he
could be moved shortly he would be
taken to Canton instead of Washing
ton. But if his convalescence were
delayed until cooler weather set in he
probably would be taken to the
White House. The opinion OF the
physicians would probably govern,
however.
Mrs. Mckinley Takes a Drive.
AT 2:3o this afternoon Mrs. Nc
kinley went out for drive. A
closed carriage drew up to the side
entrance. Mrs. Mckinley was as
sisted into the carriage by Secretary
Cortelyou. Mrs. Lafayette McWill-
Jams OF Chicago, accompanied her.
They drove out Delaware avenue to-
ward the park.
