THE DOCTORS BULLETINS.
They Told the Truth, but Perhaps Not
All the Truth.
New York Letter.

New York Letter.
DR.. McBurneys apparently very hopeful
and confident statement had done more to
relieve apprehension on the part of this
community than any of the reports that
came from Buffalo McBurney is well
known here as conservative and taciturn,
almost always laconic or else absolutely
silent when speaking Of his own patients.
even to members of their families, that the
feeling was that he must have discovered
i'm the Presidents condition unexpected and
highly encouraging symptoms.
At the same time some of McBurney' $
associates here were inclined to the opinion
that he may have felt as the physicians
who attended Garfield did feel. that ne had
i'm some sense the American people for
patients at this time.
The shock of the attempted ASA ssinati
was so sudden that it produced here and
there something like hysteria, caused some

felt justified in speaking the truth even ii
they did not so SO far as to tell the whole
of IL.
The whole truth it was known iii pro-
fessiOnal circles here, would have set forth
the secondary dangers; those that follow
after surgery seemed to have won a COM
plete triumph. These secondary dangers
that were discussed privately and carefully.
and OF which some intimation had come
from Buffalo, were chiefly those Of eX-
haustiOn, Of a prolonged and unsatisfactory
invaldism, ultimately wearing out the life
of the patient.
Ii was known here that the heart ac-
ton Of the President has for some years
been not entirely normal: although the
belief was that the trouble purely
functional one. Yet TO the medical men
i'm this city. his condition gave cause for
almost much apprehension as the prim-
airy effect of the wound itself for surgery
seemed to have been able to have overcome
that.
This apprehension has been strengthened
as day by day went by and il was discov-
cred from the bulletins that the record of
the pulse was very high. 1t was feared that
If this high tendency were not overcome
there would inevitably follow prostration.
1t might be absolute collapse.
This apprehension was one which the
general public did not share. 1t was con-
fined to a rather limited circle. Some of
the financierS who have been standing
shoulder TO shoulder. so that there might
he no panic Generalization in the mar
ket, had information of this apprehension
and it is probably safe TO say that ma
jority of the physicians of New York city
shared it. But it was no more than a
fear, a possibility. a contingency which
might or might not arise.

COMMITTEE"
The resolutions were passed with unani-
nous consent as soon presented and
without discussion. The bricklayers have
always entertained the kindliest feeling to-
ward President Mckinley, more especially
perhaps because he was an honorary mem
Der of Bricklayers Union. When the cor
nerstone of a certain building laid by
the President he was made an honorary
member of the organization of bc1ckayers
In order that the work might be union In
all respects. Since then he has been car
ried as an honorary member. But this was
not the first meeting President Mckinley
had had with the bricklayers Last night
as the members of the local union stood
about their hall they recalled the time when
he was Governor of Ohio and the address
of welcome he made TO their international
convention in Columbus. The address of
welcome to the Bricklayers' Union was on
the day of the inauguration of Governor
Bushnell and was the last official act Of
Governor Mckinley. The inaugural COM
mittee waited for him while he welcomed
the bricklayers to the State. and in the
afternoon the convention adjourned to at
tend the inaugural. When he finished his
speech many delegates from all parts of
America were heard TO shout. "Our next
President! Our next President"
The union also adopted a resolution de-
claring its intention TO observe Thursday
out OF respect to the dead President. and
not member of the union will work on
that day.

The opinions Of the independent and
Democratic press are. as a whole, unusually
appreciative of the character and ability
of President Roosevelt The Democratic
Atlanta Journal says:
1t is the source of deep qualification to the
country that as the successor to the muir
dered President. it has man whose life
ike That OF William Mckinley. has been
clean chivalric and high. No imputation
OF the slightest degree of personal or Of
fetal dishOnOr has ever been cast upon
Theodore Roosevelt. even in the passion of
politics. He is a noble type of American
manhood. and has illustrated those virtues
which our people especially cherish and
honor. His home life is beautiful and those
who have known him best have the highest
admiration for him and the most complete
confidence i'm him.
The independent New York Times, which
is in position to know of the President.
says:
To the great office of President of the
United States he comes with full train
ing and full knowledge Since the coun-
try had history we have never had a
President who had been so diigent a
student of ii, especially of its political and
party history. If it strengthens and safe
guards man to have contemplated the
successes and pondered the mistakes and
failures of those who have gone before
him in the path he now has to tread Mr.
RoOsevelt's preparation may be said to be
broad and profitable And when to this is
added the teachings of his own considerable
experience and the assurance to be de-
rived from his uniform success and unin-
terrupted advancement to higher posts, it
must be apparent even to those of the criti-
cal spirit that the augury is sngulary free
from those elements of apprehension that
have in some previous instances added TO
the weight of such affliction as that which
has now befallen the Nation.
The Independent Democratic Detroit Free
Press says:
Far from being dubious we have every
reason to be thankful that the Republican
national convention at Philadelphia nomi-
mated for Vice President not a political
cipher, but a rugged, sturdy manly Ameri-
can with the potentialty of measuring to
the full proportions of a modern states
man.
The foregoing are fair samples of the
expressions of many papers which are not
Republican regarding the President 1t is
fortunate for the country that the new
President enjoys the respect of the mass OF
fair minded people of the Nation.
