The veil of domestic privacy IS or course thrown over the scene and de- tails of the interview and any ac- counts of it are necessarily supposl- lions.

 MiIburn House, Buffalo. N Y. Sept 9.-President Mckinley has gone through the early part of the crisis iIr his case without material sacrifice of strength or the appearance of danger ous symptoms. There was an unSatiS- factory note in the first bulletin of the morning in reference to the restless night passed by tke president. Some consolation was drawn from the state ment that the sufferer had slept fairly we'll. but the general effect of the bull leffn was to break down some of the prevailing optimism and create fresh anxiety as to immediate developments in the case The circumstances of the previous day had been favorable and the popular anticipation was that the fidings from the sick room would. con finue to be more encouraging. The bulletin created feeling of uneasiness that seemed to be shared by all who read 1t 1t was known that the pa- ffenf was we'll within the crisis. and fhe fear was created that the restless ness was the fOrerunner of some of the dire things feared as possible results of the wounds It was also pointed out that it was one of the few unfa- vorable things said by the official bull 1etins. and several disturbing rumors were put in circulation. The general state of the sufferer remains un changed however A slight decline in temperature and an inclination or the pulse and respiration to return to- ward normality were favorable condl- lions. and the official statement gave an assurance that no unfavOrable symptoms had shown themselves The doctors still incline to a very hopeful view of inc case and insist that at present it does not present single un- satisfactory feature. They say that several complications fraught with serious consequences may develop, but fbey do not anticipate that any of them will appear. The president holds his own so far in the crucial hours
 The morning hours at the Milburn house were very quiet Few of the oc- cupanfs of the home were astIr early and save for sentries, police, newspa- per Correspondents and telegraphers the street was deserted A few work men as they passed to their daily toll DUSSeu near tue uUurc tO oSHN eAS eO c-iN condition of the president Shortly after daylight a small crowd gathered on West Ferry street. The police and military restrictions have been some what relaxed. but the Milburn house is stfn carefully guarded and no one is permitted to approach it without challenge and explanation
 Shortly after o'clock the doctors who had not taken part in the all night vigil began to arrive Dr Was din. the Marine hospital specialist. was fhe first to reach the house and joined Dr Rfxey. who remained at the presi- dents bedside practically throughout fhe night Dr Parke came at S:15 and lf was apparent that the morning con- euItafion of all the physicians would soon be held. At this time all was quiet about the Milburn household ex- ce1t for the coming of the doctors. Secretary Cortelyou, who had been on duty on and on all the night, was catching a little needed rest in an up per chamber, and the regular force of house attendants had not yet come on duty.
