Sept. DIR. McBurney said to an AS
ISOLATED Press reporter that all the in
dications continued favorable.
mo bad symptoms have appeared"
said he. "No one can say now that the
President is out of danger and for a
week still the possibility of complica-
tons may exist. At the end of that
time. If all goes we'll. We may be able
to say that he is convaleseent."
But have known cases." put in DR..
Mann, who was with the noted sur
geon, ito go we'll for ten days. and then
change for the worse"
THAT is true, perhaps said DR.. Nc
Burney, somewhat deprecatingly, "but
1t is entirely unusual. II the Presi-
dent continues to improve for a week."
he continued, eve may safely say that
he is a convalescent. 1t will probably
be three weeks before 1t will be. safe
to move him. We must wait until the
outer wound is healed and strong. The
inner wounds through the stomach
proper will be strong before the exter-
Tor wound is. How long it will be be-
fore he will be able to sit up will de-
pend on the rapidity of his improve
ment. and l may say to you further
that his improvement, IL 1t continues,
promises to be rapid"
DIR. McBurney was asked to compare
the Garfield case and its treatment
with that OF President Mckinley. He
smiled as he replied that to do so
would be t o give the whole history of
the progress of surgery during the last
twenty years.
Besides" said he, "the cases are ut
terly different. Garfield's wound was
an extremely unfortunate n in every
way. 1t was difficult to handle, it was
impossible to get at the bullet, while
the wound of President Mckinley is
in many respects a lucky one. No
comparison is possible"
Turning to the Associated Press cor
respondent, DR.. McBurney said:
You can assure your clientel that
all goes well. The Presidents condi-
tion could hardly be more satisfactory.
Furthermore, you can impress and en-
phasize the fact that the bulletins is
sued state the truth"
DR.. Mann said that the President was
not out of danger. He said that some
nourishment had been administered
| to-day in the form Of an enema, and
he had taken water in the stomach.
Tt was found that cold water did not
agree with him and instead water as
hot as the President can bear 1t, is
now being administered. The Presi-
| dents bowels have moved freely to-day
| and this is considered an excellent
symptom.

STRENGTH AND SPIRITS.

This morning he asked to be allowed
to move his position, and when per-
mission was given before the attend
ants could move him he changed to the
position he desired to assume without
difficulty or pain. This speaks much
for his general strength and spirits.
Mrs. Mckinley saw him again' to-day
for a breif visit, and Secretary Cortel-
you was admitted for the first time.
No one else was allowed to see him
although he inquired several times
who were below stairs. He was given
nourishment to-day in the form of
eggs beaten in milk, administered
through the rectum.
The water which has been given
heretofore cold did not appear to agree
with him and since last night very hot
water has been taken into the stomach
through the mouth with splendid re-
suits. His bowels moved freely dur
ing the day and this also was consider
ed an excellent symptom. If he con-
tinues to improve it will be gradually.
If he should grow worse, the change
in that direction also probably Will be
slow. This is the opinion of DR..
Mann. There will be no crisis. II he
arrives at conyalescenee DR.. Park ex-
presses the opinion that II will be
three weeks before it will be safe to
move him. 1t is expected that the in
terror wounds will heal first. The
sutures of the 1acerated tissue were
made so soon after the bullet passed
that they are probably healing rapid
Iv. With the exterior wound it is a
slower process.
The extreme optimism Of the Vice
President and the members of the cab
met would be difficult to oversize.
81 am absolutely confident every
thing will turn out all right" declar-
ed the Vice-President, and he said he
based his confidence on information
behind the public expressions OF he
physicians.
So relieved are Secretary Gage n
Attorney General Knox in the steady
improvement that they returned to
Washington tonight.
The devotion of the members Of the
cabinet to their chief is touching. All
would desire to remain near him until
the crucial period is passed and Secre-
tary Hitchcock and Secretary Wilson
wow that only absolute and imperative
public business will induce them to de-
part before the President is pronouno-
ed out of danger. Senator Hanna Will

PITTSBURG. Pa. September g.
The lass effort to settle the steel strike
has failed. The general executive
board OF the A~maisanated Association
adjourned this evening without date
and without either accepting any of
the peace propositions which have
come indirectly from the United States
steel Corporation or making any
counter proposition. according to the
Official statement.
The semi-oficial report Is that the
proposition secured for the Amalga-
mated Association through the inter-
vention of the representatives OF the
National Civic Federation was unsat-
isfaetory and that the entire matter of
arranging for a settlement was left
with President Theodore J. Shaffer.
The board In its sessions of three days
has been ciamoring for n settlement
but satisfactory terms and means we're
not at hand and the sessions resolved
themselves into an informal discussion
of the situation.
At the close of the meeting of the
national executive board this evening.
President Shaffer declared that he had
no statement to make, but subsequent
ly said:
"The board has adjourned and the
out-of-town members will probably
leave for their homes tonight. No
peace proposition has been received
and none made"

The meeting of the board did not
adjourn In high good feeling. yet the
members of the board were averse to
making statements supplemental to
that of President Shaffer.
II was stated by some members OF
the board that the adjournment had

that the strike must go on as before,

ONLY A FEW

Not over a dozen escaped the vigil
lance of the pickets and succeeded In
getting into the mill. At Dcmmler q
crowd of fully, 800 strikers gathered
about the plant, and while they were
orderly. they refused to obey the or
ders of the fifty deputy sheriffs on
guard. Fewer workmen reported from
McKeesport than last week. though
more men came by boat from Du-
quesne. About fifty police were on du-
ty about the fube works, but no ar
rests were made. AS a result OF tho
disturbances this morning the big mill
is idle and completely tied up. Just
what the National Tube Company Will
do now Is a matter Of conjecture. 1t
is believed by many that an attempt
will be made to start the mill with inn
ported men and that an appeal will be
made to Sheriff Mckinley for protec-
ton. At the meetings Of the lodges
of the Federation of Labor in Mcksses-
port yesterday the question OF returr-
ing to work In the tube mill was vot-
ed on. The butt welders voted to re-
turn but were prevented from doing
so this morning by the strikers y
gathered about the mill. The em-
ployes of the rolling mill of the Ma
tional Tube Company voted to a man
not to return.

where last week from 500 To 1000 men

back into the mill.
Something over two thousand strik-

OF the National Tube Company short

until this morning when the employees
who vent to work last week reported
for duty at seven o'clock this morn
ing. Every approach to the mill was
guarded most vigilantly and around
the main entrance more than sou
strikers and sympathizers gathered.
The streets adjacent to the mills were
crowded and as the men approached
TO go to work they were met and turn
ed back. Almost all of the great force
who returned last week reported Tor
duty again and many more who were
willing to go back, but these were met
