Twin City Physicians Comment on
Presidents Condition.
One Of the ablest surgeons in the Twin
Cities. who has almost daily experience
in operation in abdominal work, was
shown late dispatch last night from
Secretary Cortelyou regarding the con-
clifton of President Mckinley. In re-
Spouse as to his Interpretation of the
bulletin the doctor replied: 'It is i'm

Following morning, while the temperature
ought not to be above 101 degrees.
"A pulse of $50 twenty-four hours after
an abdominal operation is regarded as
critical by all surgeons. Mr. McKn.ey's
temperature of 1922 degrees while not
necessarily indicating that he is growing
worse is one that would give surgeons
grave anxiety The first two days fol-

have not made much progress toward
the establishment of their theory with
material evidence, and that their chief
reliance at present is on a confession
from the prisoner. Czolgosz's trail has
been taken up at Cleveland and it is ex-
pected that the inquiry there will let in
some valuable light as to his companions
and possible fellow conspirators.
The prisoner Is kept secluded today,

Secretary of War Root, the police in

prisoner other than his immediate Gus

DETECTIVES BUSY.
In addition to the examination to
which the prisoner was subjected, city
and federal detectives spent the day IN
securing the city for some trace of pos
sible confederates. They took up the
trail of the prisoner from the day of his
arrival and partially completed an out
line of his movements up to the commits
sion of the crime They did not sue
coed in connecting him with any of the
ocalists who make their home here, and
by nightfall had about abandoned the
theory that he was assisted by any one
here. They also showed an inclination
to give up the belief that a confederate
preceded the prisoner in the reception

along that line had not been abandoned

CHICAGO, Sept. Chicago anarchists,

assassination of President Mckinley. Men

were gathered in the hall. Three DAYS

notified that a meeting would take place
last night. The reason for the issuance
of the call for the meeting could not be

no secret of the fact that they antcipat-

however. Not a word of sympathy for
the man who was near his death was
heard at the nesting last night. Instead
there were speeches IN which the mamie
or Mckinley was mentioned only to bring
forth cries of condemnation. For the
name of the presidents assaiIant there
were cheers. All the speeches were in
German, although at times some members
OF the audience would give vent to their
feelings in English. 1t was not until ear
