DISASTER ON LAKE HURON.

PORT HURON, Mich, September s.
Tonight witnesses the result of one of
the worst disasters on Lake Huron,
owing to the severe gale which has
been blowing for twenty-four hours.
Piled up on shore, are many thousand
dollars of vessel property and the
chance for getting them off are slim
unless many thousand dollars are ex-
pended in dredging.
Strange to say, in connection with
this great calamity there is no loss of
life. The life saving crew took off
thirty-eight people during last night
and the others were beyond danger.

MILBURN HOUSE. BUFFALO, Sep
tember Safer 5 o'clock there was a.
period of comparative quiet about the
Milburn house. The members of the
cabinet and other distinguished officials
who had been coming and going through
out the day now withdrew, as it wal
understood no further bulletin would be
issued until Q D. m. AS the twilight
deepened into darkness the lights ap-
peared in the upper chambers OF the Mil
burn house. and the eyes of the watch
ers outside were turned with anxious
interest to these simmering tokens OF
the watch in and about the sick room.
All through the day great crowd had
gathered on the streets converging at
the Milburn house. but as darkness came
they gradually disappeared. As the line
Of men and women came up to the ropes
to make anxious inquiries. Shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock Vice President Roosevelt
accompanied by Mr.. Wilcox, of Buffalo,
called at the Milburn residence and re-
NAMED for d short time in conversation
with Secretary Cortelyou and those near
the president. There was little addition
al information TO give them beyond the
{ O'Clock bulletin, and they came away
with the same confident and hopeful ex-
pectatlons rs early in the day.
Quiet Last Night.
Tonight is included within the time
critical to the president. He is hold
ing his own, as Secretary Certelyou ex-
pressed 1t, and If he successfully passes

by all the physicians and urgeons who
are treating him and their opinion as
expressed by the night bulletin was ia
vorable. They found his general condi-
ton to be unchanged and their examina-
ton did not disclose anything of an un-
favorable nature. They believe hat the
president Is in a serious condition, and
that the crisis will not be passed for an
other forty-eight hours. The profession
al men and officials hope for the best,
but until the case has run through, the
doubtful days will not be treasured.
The Milburn house was very quiet to-
night, and there were few callers. Among
those who came We're Vice President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Secretary
Wilson, Secretary Hitchcock. Senator
Hanna and Captain McWiIiams, of Chi
cago None of the callers remained very
long. The night, like its predecessor,
was very cold. The weather conditions
are regarded as very favorable for the
president. Abner Mckinley. brother of
the president, reached here at 1920 a. m.
He was admitted to the house at once.

The occurrence at Buffalo indicates

death. and while 1 have ever been loyal
to the law and have ever kcontended for
it's strict enforcement, / must say that
the afafir of 4 o'clock last Friday has
almost converted me into an advocate of

and, whether the work of a san man or
a lunatic, there can be no justification
for it"
