WAS AN ANXIOUS WAIT.
The Bulletin of the Doctors Was
 Awaited With Much Anxiety.

Awaited With Much Anxiety.
 Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 9.-The doctors began assembling about eight o'clock, and it was 9:15 before any of them came away from the Milburn house. Pending their conferences, there was an anxious wait. Several visitors arrived, includ- ing eX-Postmaster-G Bissell and Chas. F. Sanger. MT. Bissell was one of the first to emerge from the house after the doctors had completed their consultation, and in a brief general way he summarized the situation by saying that the conditions were favor- able, although he had no details. A 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. Ut 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 overjoyed with the word which the physicians had brought from the sick room.
 "The President VIII Get We'll"
 "The president will get we'll" he said several times. II feel it and l am sure the doctors now feel it. 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 a sign of inflammation. The promptness with which the opera tion was performed and the skill with which it was accomplished are telling their story. The tissues were sutured so quickly that they proba- bly, began to 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 nis 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 liquid nourishment which he is re- ceiving are being administered hypo- dermically, and this fact alone would account for his restlessness."
 Dr. Mynter's Opinion.
 Dr. Herman Mynter came from the Milburn house at 9:30. He said:
 Everything is satisfactory. Every
 
 unfavorable results is encouraging and indicate of final recovery"
 Dr. Eugene Wasdin, another of the consultation staff, emerged from the house few minutes later.
