WAS An ANXIOUS WAIT.
The Bulletin of the Doctors Was
Awaited with Much Anxiety.

Awaited with Much Anxiety.
Milburn House. Buffalo, y. Y. Sept,
e.-The doctors began assembling
about eight o'clock. and il was 9:1j
before any of them came away from
the Milburn house. Pending their
conferences, there was an ANXIOUS
wait. Several visitors arrived, includ-
ing NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Bissell and
Chas. Il. Sanger. Mr. Bissell was one
of the first to emerge from the house
after the doctors had completed their
consultation, and in brief general
way he summarized the situation 10y
saving that the conditions were favor
able, although he had no details. \
few moments later DR.. Roswell Park
and Secretary Wilson came out to-
gether. DR. Park answered the many
inquiries with cheerful and very
positive assurance of confidence. The
situation is entirely satisfactory
said he, land there are no symptoms
to cause alarm"
No Cause for Apprehension.
He was asked if the earlier bulle-
tin referring to the presidents some
what restless night warranted any
apprehension.
Not in the least" he replied. 1T
is entirely natural that a patient in
the presidents condition should have
some periods of restlessness. But he
is receiving no anaesthetics. He is
fully conscious at all times when he
is awake. and his mind is clear"
Conversation Prohibited.
When asked if the president con-
Versed with those about him, the doc
tor said the patient was quite able to
talk and did so as far as the physi-
clans permitted, although they were
reluctant to permit him to sap any
of his energy in this way.
Secretary Wilson, who moved on
down Delaware avenue, while DR..
Park was talking TO the newspaper
men, was overioyed with the word
which the physicians had brought
from the sick room.
"The President VIII Get Well"
1.-The president will get WELL" he
said several times. II feel il and |
am sure the doctors now feel il. OF
course, the danger point has not been
passed, but the continued absence of
unfavorable symptoms strengthens
our hope. The period for peritonitis
to appear is rapidly passing away and
there is not sign of inflammation.
The promptness with which the opera.
ton was performed and the skill
with which il was accomplished are
telling their story. The tissues were
sutured so quickly that they proba-
bly, began 10 heal Immediately. The
presidents good health and the long
life of careful living behind him are
In his favor; but above all, his in
domitable will and his fine courage
are the factors counted upon TO pull
him through. He has made up his
mind TO live, and live he will. The
rise in his temperature during the
night was somewhat disturbing, but
his febril condition is better, and our
hopes continue in the ascendant. The
fact that his slumber during the night
was restless is not TO be wondered at.
All the conditions under which he is
living are abnormal. The water and
liquid nourishment which he is re-
eeiving are being administered hypo-
dermically, and this fact alone would
account for his restlessness."
DIR. Mynter's Opinion.
DIR. Herman Mynter came from the
Milburn house at $3.50. He said
Everything is satisfactory. Every
hour that passes with no decidedly
nnfayorable results is encouraging
and indicate of final recovery"
DIR. Eugene Wasdin, another of the
consultation staff, emerged from the
house a few minutes later. He said:
"There are no distressing symptoms.
The restlessness of the patient dur
Ing the night is not serious and is
TO be expected when it is understood
that he slept during the day Sunday"
Abner Mckinley, brother of the
president, arrived at the house of Mr..
Milburn at 1905 and was Immediately
admitted.
Feeling of Satisfaction Prevailed.
Senator Fairbanks and Comptroller
of the Currency Dawes came from
the house together and their smiling
faces indicated the satisfaction pre-
