cabinet ministers left the city, and the domain of the surgeons has become the property of skilled trained nurses.
 Despite this optimistic outlook late last night there was a slight scare at the Milburn home caused by the pro tracted visit of the consulting physi- clans, who remained almost two hours, and this was increased by the an nouncement in the official bulletin is- sued just before midnight that a slight irritation of the exterior wound. dis covered only last night, had necessitat- ed the opening of few stitches of the wound.
 All the physicians united in saying there need be no alarm felt over the matter, as the removal of the stitches might delay the healing of the wound. but would not affect the general con dition of the patient.
 Most significant of all the assurances of the presidents ultimate restoration to health Is the announcement that the first meeting of the full cabinet in many weeks will be held on next Fri day afternoon at o'clock in the presi dents sickroom. The doctors have said that President Mckinley by that time will be we'll and strong enough to meet all his ministers and to take part in cabinet meeting.
 Those of the secretaries who have left the city and who will so in the next day or two have arranged to re- turn at the time named. William Me Kinley, sick and prostrate on his bed. will for the first time since the an- archist's bullet laid him low assume again the functions of the chief mag istrate of the United States.
 This will mark the close of a week in which the whole American people have suffered the keenest anxiety and in which expressions of indignation at the act and sympathy with the vic tim of the attempted assassination have come from all parts of the world. None of the triumphs of modern sur gical science can compare with this. and never were the results of the sur gical advancement of the last twenty years devoted to q more popular cause.
 Doctor. Enthusiastic.
 pr. Charles McBurney left the Mil burn house in the morning looking so pleased that when he was questioned about the president no one was sur prised when he became positively en- thusiastic in his replies. He said he was going to Niagara Falls to spend the day and that tomorrow be would be back iu New York. The presidents condition was so eminently satisfae- tory. he said. that he was not needed in Buffalo any longer. Last night Dr. McBurney missed his train, but he will start home today
 Lovely. lovely" was pr. Roswell Parks response. He's out of the woods" replied Dr. Wasdin. Well on the road to recovery" was pr. Her man Mynter's answer.
 Mrs. Mckinley slept we'll Monday night and was cheerful and happy with the rest of the household all day and enjoyed an afternoon drive or even lon ger duration than usual. Senator Han- na went home to Cleveland early In the afternoon. Vice President Roosevelt left last night with the expressed determination to Hose himself" some where between here and New York for seventy-two hours. The president him. self joked with his doctors. and all con- nected with the case agreed that with in four weeks at the most the White House will see it's official occupants once more.
 An Ideal Patient.
 Dr. Mynter said that the president made an ideal patient and that there is no reason to expect retrogression in his case. The surgeon added that if President Mckinley continued to im- prove as he has done be will be able to go outdoors inside of three weeks. As Dr. Mynter and Dr. Mann were leaving the sickroom this morning the president said to one of the nurses in high good humor:
 ''These doctors have been pretty good to me. I'll have to take them to Wash ington. guess. and give them a high old time"
 Dr. Mynter relates an incident of the sickroom which occurred yesterday after the president was informed of the great improvement in his condition and the predictions of the physicians In their bulletin.
 ''I told him." said Dr. Mynter. "how glad was to see him convalescent and said did not know whether to attrib- ute his recovery to his excellent con stitution, to the splendid care he has had or to the constant, earnest prayers
