I again say with great confidence that
the president viii recover"
The foregoing statement was made
today by Vice President Roosevelt in
the course of an interview with an As
sociated Press correspondent while
walking to Milburn house.
He reiterated the statement after he
had had a ten minute visit with the
physicians.
The vice president did not leave the
Wilcox mansion, where he is staying,
until after the noon hour, and then he
walked the mile to the presidential
quarters in company with corre-
spondent Of the Associated Press. Just
after he had left the mansion he was
accosted by a colored man who was
raking a lawn. Governor, may I
shake hands with you,' he said.
You certainly may answered the
vice president. turning quickly and
grasping his hand; and then as two
laborers with dinner pals and tools
slipped up. he shook hands with them.
Amt you afraid to be shot?" asked
one of the men.
mo. sir he snapped out; ''and I
hope no official of this country will be
ever afraid. You men are our prOtee-

the more vigorous in your protection Of
the lives of those whom you select to
office. Such men as you can work with

without resort to violence"
As he walked on the vice president
discussed the case of the president and
his condition. He said:

yet they recovered.
HE MOVES UNAIDED.
As indicating the growing strength
of the president the following incident
of the morning is related by one of
those inside the AIilburn house familiar
with the facts.
Mr.. Mckinley has been lying for
long time in one position but during
this morning he asked if he could
change this position. The doctors in
a1tehdahce gave their assent, where
upon the president changed his posi-
tion by his own effort without diff
Guilty and without pain.
Secretary Cortelyou remained near
the president throughout the early
hours Of the day and then come out TO

been among the very few admitted
within the sick room. even the members
OF the cabinet and others close to Mr..

Presidents Condition.

Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept. 9.-Sec-
retary Hitchcock and Senator Hanna
emerged from the Milburn house short
ly after noon The senator appeared to
be very jubilant- He stopped a mo-
ment before entering his automobile to
express his great satisfaction at the
presidents condition
Every bulletin is an Improvement
and the last is best of all OF course
last night was an anxious one but the
president passed in safety without a
change for the worse The crucial per-
iod will probably extend through an
other day, possibly longer, but every
hour now is a victory"
rs the presidents mind clear?'
Clear as bell" replied the senator
promptly.
Does he talk?''
LAS much as he is allowed to- he
answered smiling
Mrs. Mckinley was with the presi-
dent for some little time this morning -
he added. She is doing sp1endidly.''
Then with another admonition to the

CRISIS ON TUESDAY.
If Successfully Passed President Will
Be Well in q Month.


New York, Spet. "a special to the
Tribune from Buffalo says;
DR.. McBurney, who has joined the
physicians in attendance on President
Mckinley, says that if the president
keeps on improving the crisis win be
passed on Tuesday. and that in three or
four weeks time he will be able to re-
sumo his ordinary duties.
The president is nourished," said DR.
McBurney, by injecting proper
amount OF whisky, hot water and raw
eggs. He is allowed a few swallows Of
water. He talks to US as we attend
him and is clear headed al the time
How long viii it be before the crisis
is reached2" DR.. McBurney was asked.
Probably by Tuesday said the doc
tor. THAT will allow a margin OF 4S
hours, and by that time we ought to be
able to tell with a reasonable degree
Of certainty whether he is going to re-
cover. Peritonitis has not been devel-
oped. 1t will have developed by Tues
day if it is going to come at all. The
wounds have entirely closed They were
closed Immediately after the operation.
There has been no subsequent explora-
ton of the wounds. The presumption is
now that the bullet is lodged in the
muscles of the back If it is lodged there
it is harmless, and there is no need to
take it out. The bullet has neither been
seen nor felt since it entered the presi-
dents body But, judging from its di-
rection, It is now lodged, as I before
said in the muscles of the back There
are no signs of the formation of pus.
The only object in using the X-rays will
be to determine the location and remoV-
al of the bullet If there are no sighs
of trouble there win be no need of using
the X-rays. The president is not being
relieved by opiates. None have been
used since Saturday and the doctors

Milburn House Buffalo. n. ". Sept.
s.-President McKinley's condition is 50
favorable that it has dispered almost
the last shadow Of doubt and apprehen-
sion and has led those nearest him to
make the most confident predictions of
his recovery. The official bulletins from
the physicians as wen as the authorita
tive statements of those in most inti-
mate relations with the presidential
household give certainty to the feeling
that the worst phases Of the crisis are
about over. There is a marked improve
ment in the pulse and temperature
Aside from these pathological features
the doctors give the cheering inrorma-
tion free from all teehnicalities of sci
ence, that the presidents condition was
becoming more and more satisfactory
and untoward complications are becom-
ing less likely. Besides their official
signed utterances. the doctors gave in
dividual expressions reinforcing tie
buoyant and confident tone. They made
known too that the Presidents mind
was clear. his mental faculties as Wig
orous as ever and that he retained bfs
cheerful. happy disposition. He was
even ready to talk with the doctors bu+
they restrained him to a considerabla
extent
These positive assurances gave to the
members of the cabinet and to the rela-
tives and nearest friends of the presi-
dent. feeling Of confidence little short
Of absolute certainty that the president
was now well on the way to recovery
Without exception those who came from
the Milburn house expressed this Same
confident view. Among those who called

Secret Service Men Follow Him
Wherever He Goes.

New York, Sept 9.-A special to the
World from Buffalo says:
Although Vice President Roosevelt does
not know it, the government has made
more adequate provision for his protec-
tion than it did for that of President
McKiniev. Whenever the vice president
leaves the residence OF Lawyer Ansley
Wilcox, where he is staying there are
two or three secret service men at hand
to ward off any attempt that might be
made on his life. The orders for the pro-
lection Of the vice president come from
some source that is not disclosed
During his attendance at services in the
First Presbyterian church six secret ser
vice men occupied seats within a short
distance of him. One of them took a seat
on the box of his carriage when he drove
away and the others followed in another

Mrs Mckinley was admitted to the

stay with her afflicted husband The

Mrs. Mckinley bore up we'll and dis
played the same fortitude which has
characterized her. as well as the presi-

though there have been statements that
Mrs. Mckinley has not been apprised of
the manner in which the president is in

she is fully aware that he was shot, al
though it has not been NECESSARY to
dwell upon the narrowing details of the
affair. AS much as possible she has
been buoyed up by the ging at
titude of the physicians and she has re-
Sponded by giving all her strength
toward passing through the ordeal with
calmness.
