THE M'KINLEY CASE.
Physicians Who Attended the Zar-
tyred President Tell of Symp-
toms and Treatment.

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-The physicians
and surgeons who attended President Nc
Kinley through the closing days of his life
to-day presented to the State Medical So
ciety, gathered here in semi-annual ses-
sion, lengthy report covering the medical
and surgical history of the case OF the
martyred statesman. 1t was signed by Drs.
Matthew ID. Mann, Herman Mynter,
Eugene Wasdin. Charles G.. Stockton. p. NJ.
Rixey, Boswell Park and Charles McBur-
ney, and was read by DR.. Mann, who dis
cussed the features as he proceeded. No
reporter present, but general sum-
mary of it was given out by one of the
physicians. DIR. Mann did not mention the
operation, omitting that altogether. He de-
scribed the Presidents symptoms and treat
ment from day to day, going into the full
est details
In speaking of the bulletins issued, DR..
Mann said that every one of them was alb
soIutely true. None had been misleading in
any matter. He told of the progress Of the
patient from day 10 day till the unfavorable
turn, a very sudden one, of the seventh day,
and he said he mentioned that TO show
that the bulletins issued were true and
not misleading. DIR. Mann said that there
absolutely no indication of bacterio-
lOSical infection. Continuing, he said: IF
YOU ask what caused the Presidents
death could not tell you. | doubt If that
Will eve= be discovered. Among contribu-
tCry causes. however, were the Presidents
age. his lack Of exercise and his naturally
weak heart, which made his pulse beat
high.
Ir. Mann was asked by one OF the listen
ing medical men why the X-ray was not
applied that the missing bullet might
be located DR.. Mann replied that there
was nothing i'm the condition of the patient
10 show that the bullet was doing any
harm. and he said that IL the X-ray had
been used il would only have been TO sat
isfy the curiosity of the physicians, ard
the excitement attending the operation
so the doctors refrained from using the
X-ray apparatus. DR.. Mann went on TO
say that time whatever had there
been the slightest disagreement among the
physicians. He said that complete harmony
marked every bit OF the time they were IN
attendance on the President He said he
had never known OF such complete har-
mony among physicians. Mr. Mann did not
say anything OF the autopsy, but he de-
scribed the technical treatment of the
President daily.
vote OF thanks was accorded DR. Mann
by the society. DR.. n H<ean Mynter. col
corroborated all Dr. Mann said. He spoke
of the fine traits OF the President aud of
the remarkable exhibition of patience Mr.
Mckinley had displayed. Dr AfNnter' spoke
very feelingly OF the Christian charity OF
President Mckinley toward his assassin.
and said that the Presidents manner OF
bearing his trials impressive that
there was not one OF the nurses who would
not have gladly taken his place.

TAXATION OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.

the report of the committee on taxation OF
express companies. The committee stated
that they were unable to report any sub

to compel the express companies and their

brokerage business. The principal objec
tion in the way has been the opinion of
the attorney general. holding that the eX
press companies are not transacting either
a banking or a brokerage business within
the meaning of the war revenue law. The
committee recommended action with the

FAN PROVES GREAT SUCCESS.
Other Railroads May Adopt Norfolk &
Westerns Ventilation Scheme
Tunnel Cool as an Ice
House.

The monster fan for the ventilation OF
Elkhorn tunnel, which has been in use for
several weeks, has proven to be decided
success. At first. in its experimental stage,
there were some doubling rhomases, but
now railroad men are loud its praise.
1t has developed, after proper trial, that
the best results are obtainable by reducing
speed of trains to six miles an hour. 1t
has been found that to run the fan at Il
speed IF l4O revolutions per minute vol
ume of air of 395 600 cubic feet per minute
could be forced through the tunnel at
speed of twenty miles per hour. This
makes the tunnel as cool as an ice house
and insures the safety Of train men IN case
of hang up.
1t will be remembered that number
of fatal accidents occurred in this tunnel,
and that this large fan was devised for the
purpose of saving the lives of the engine
men. 1t is the work of Chief Engineer Z.
S. Churchill and bis assistant, G. q. Went
worth, and is the only one of the kind IN
the United States. Many other railroads
are watching the experiment made at Elk
horn tunnel, with a view to constructing
similar ventilating plants. the fact that
it was devised, constructed and put into
successful operation by Norfolk & Western
people is a particular source of gratlfca-
ton to the officials of the road and those
interested in it welfare.-Blueheld Tel

Painters are putting little zinc in their
