gone to Buffalo ere this to be near the
President in his aff1iction, or at least come
to Washington to consider several imports
ant matters now before the department, in.
cluding the Sampson-Schley investigation.
When Secretary Long left this city on his
vacation about the 1st Of August 1t was
with the understanding that he would re-
turn here early in September and relieve
Assistant Secretary Hackett of charge Of
naval affairs. 1t was also understood that
Mr.. Hackett had placed his resignation in
the hands of the President. to take effect at
his convenience in the fall. In view, how.
ever, of the uncertainty as to the date Of
Secretary Longs return to Washington IL
Is now practically settled that Assistant
Secretary Hackett will remain in office until
October at least. 1t Is reported that when
he leaves the Navy Department he will be
appointed a special attorney before tho
Spanish-American claims commission, Of
which ex-senator Chandler is president.

MlLBURN HOUSE, BUFFA-
LO, N. Y, September 12.-At this
hour, II o'clock, the. physicians are
very much concerned over the Pres
ldents condition. l am not permit
ted to state the source of my author
ity, but it is absolute, and apprehen-
sion exists. 1t is true that it will
be greatly relieved if there is an ac-
ton OF the bowels tonight. If there
is not movement before morning
the Presidents condition will be very
serious. All efforts to move the
bowels in the early hours of the night
failed, the medicine given for that
purpose only resulting in nausea.

perate, and no concealment is made
of it.
4:3o.-The hour after the assur-
ance of the last bulletin was one OF
dreadful suspense in the Mllburn
house. The ladies of the family and
Mrs. Mckinley Williams, who had
been summoned, were in an ante
room, deeply affected, of course.
Mrs. Mckinley was asleep. Down
stairs the sitting room was occupied
by the men, Abner Mckinley and
Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock
For long time no word came from
the doctors. They could be heard
moving about overhead as they went
to and fro in their errands of help
for the stricken President
Digitalis and strychnine were ad-
ministered in endeavor to rally the
Presidents heart to normal action.
After the official bulletin came out
the party of watchers were very
much discouraged.
Word was sent down from the sick
chamber, however, not to abandon
hope, that cases just as desperate
sometimes rallied. The anxious
watchers were not much buoyed,
however, and were prepared for the
worst
No man present made any attempt
to conceal his emotion, but gave free
vent to his feelings. A little before
d o'clock DR.. Mynter came down
stairs and said: 1--WE have not given
up hope. His condition is not as
bad as it was an hour ago.
All night it had been lowering,
with occasional showers of rain. A
little after 5 the dawn broke through
the banked-up clouds in the east and
began to shed its Ii ight upon the Mil
burn house. 1t was sad household
gathered within the portals, yet not
without hope. Secretary Wilson had
received encouragement from one of
the physicians, which he communi-
Gated to those about him and tried to
cheer them. The doctors, with mild
but persistent stimulation, were en-
deavoring to maintain the rally the
President had experienced, and occa-
slonally sent down word that their
work seemed to be bearing good re-
suits.

MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFA-
10, September I3, 2:5S am:
President Mckinley experienced
sinking spell shortly after clock.
The physicians are administering re-
storatives to him with the hope of
reviving him.
A general call has gone out to the
physicians and the members of the
cabinet now in the city.
DR.. Park reached the house at
2:5o, and shortly after him came
Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson.
The Associated Press has been au-
thorized to say that President Nc
kinley is critically i'll.
AT 1886 Secretaries Wilson and
Hitchcock, Abner Mckinley, DR..
Baer and Private Secretary Cortel-
you. were assembled in the main
drawing room. and it was under
stood that none OF them had up to
that time been called to the sick
room. .Ihe.gravest anxiety was pic
tured on their faces.
Mrs. Newell, one of the trained
nurses, arrived at SIS am. 1t is
understood that aside from digitalis
no other restorative has been used.
Very Serious.
The following was issued by the
Presidents physicians at $50 am:
The Presidents condition is very
serious and gives rise to the gravest
apprehension. His bowels have
moved well, but his heart does not
respond properly to stimulation. He
is conscious. The skin is warm and
the pulse small, regular, easily COM
pressible and I2o; respiration, 80;

The Worst Feared
MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFA-
LO, September IS, 8 rs am.
The President is so weak that he
does not apparently suffer much,
Strychnine, digitalis and other pow
erful heart stimulants do not produce
effects, and the worst is feared. His
death might occur at any time from
heart exhaustion. Mrs. Mckinley
has not yet been informed of the
change for the worse

Stockton, and carriages are arriving

proved unSuCCeSSIul. lney pre-
dicted change for favorable turr
before morning. The movement
was effected by heavy dose of calo-
mel, followed by dose of castor oil
By II 80 o'clock they had noticed
sufficient Improvement in the Presi.
dents condition to base bulletin
upon, and accordingly this bulletin
was brought over to the press tents
by Mr.. Cortelyou in person.
"All unfavorable symptoms in the
Presidents condition have improved
since the last bulletin. Pulse, I2o
temperature, Ioo.2.'
This bulletin was signed by Drs.
Rixey, Wasdin and Stockton and
Secretary Cortelyou. 1t showed a
reduction of the pulse of 8. This
was important, as the 128 of the ear
lier part of the evening was entirely
too high, and was source of appre-
hension to the doctors.
The Importance may be further
appreciated when it is stated that
the heart action of the President has
not been during the night all that
was desired, and was being watched
with great care by the doctors. The
President at midnight was still very
weak, and this was source of worry
to the physicians also. They as
cribed some of his weakness to the
reaction following the bowel action
but it was also due in measure to
the poor heart action.
1t would be hard to describe the
relief to the occupants of the Milburn
house that followed the announce
ment of the Presidents change for
the better. For FIVE hours there had
been a tension such as had not been
experienced since the day after he
was shot. The doctors made no con-
cealnent of the gravity of the situa-
ton. AS long as the bowels refused
to act, in their opinion, most seri-
Gus condition existed.
When therefore the information
was brought down stairs, delight
shone on all faces. By I o'clock in
the morning the President had fallen
into doze, two of the doctors were
resting on sofas close at hand. while
one physician sat at. his bedside
watching every movement of the pa
tient and closely observing his res
piration.
At that hour Secretary Cortelyou
and Mr.. Milburn started out for a
walk. The experience of the evening
had been exceedingly trying n'Sec-
retary Cortelyou, and he showed the
result of the strain he had labored
under. Soon after I o'clock all lights
were extinguished in the Milburn
house except a dim gas jet in the
kall, the taper in the Presidents room
and light in the library, where Mr..
Milburn and Secretary Cortelyou
were to spend the night. The ex-
treme anxiety was occasioned by the
weakened state of the President and
the disquieting heart action.
N. O. M.
Evening star., 1901-09-13

Secretary Cortelyou says he does
not consider the President in extre-
mis-, but that the worst is feared from
weakness of the heart.
3:55 a.m.-The physicians were
still assembled at the bedside of the
President. They were administering
digitalis and strychnine. They look
ed for rally, but up to that time no
word of hope came from them to
those who were in waiting outside.
3:55 a.m.-None of the Presi-
dents relatives Or members of the
cabinet has been admitted to the
bedside.
4 ammo word of encourage
ment had come from the Milburn
house.
At 4 o'clock DR.. Mann says the
President has rallied somewhat.
Drs. Mann and Mynter left the
house at q o'clock. The latter said
The President is in better condi-
ton than he was an hour ago. We
have not given up hope He has
rallied somewhat and we are going
home"
DR.. Mann also said that the Presi-
dent rallied, but both physicians
declined to go into details concern
ing the character of the heart stirnu-
lants administered, or the cause of
the collapse.
kilograms have been forwarded to
Vice President Roosevelt notifying
him of the sudden change for the
worse in the Presidents condition
and the fears that are entertained.
Rally Was Slight.
AIS a.m.-The rally at a o'clock
was very slight. At AIS Secretary
Cortelyou and Mr.. Milburn emerged
from the house and walked up the
sidewalk inside the roped inclosure.
Secretary Cortelyou said the Presi-
dent was resting, that four physicians
were in the sick chamber, but he Of
fered little in the way of encourage
ment.
4:25 am.-Only one doctor and
one nurse are now at the Presidents
bedside. He is reported to be rest
ing quietly.
Declared Better.
AT IS Secretary Wilson stepped
out of the house. "The President is
little BETTER" said he. His heart
action and his circulation are both
better. | have not given up hope"
"Is the President conscious?"
Perfectly So"
Does he realize his critical condi-
tion?"
l do not know as to that"
In addition to the other restora-
tives saline solution was used short
ly after the Presidents sinking spell
began.
