The scene about the house and in the
street. which had been storm swept. was
dramatic in its action and setting and
the spirit of the tragedy was on those
who looked upon il. A messenger who
darted into the rain and was whisked
away in an electric cab gave the outside
watchers the first intimation of the i'll
news from within. AT the same moment
new lights burned within the windows of
the Milburn residence. Soon the word
was passed out that the President had
! partially collapsed and was critically ILL.,
1t was a confirmation that was hardly
needed. for the fact had been established
by action that needed no words.
The newspaper correspondents. who
had already sent warning of a serious
change in the Presidents condition, rush
ed TO the improvised telegraph Offices
with the first bulletins.
As the telegraph instruments ratified
away with their forlorn story early in the
morning the hastily aroused physicians
began arriving. An automobile racing
at top speed brought DIR. Mynter first.
He did not stop to speak, but rushed into
the house. DIR. Mann came almost on
his heels. and he. too, ran down the
street. Neither stopped for word as
they rushed into the house. After them
came Abner Mckinley. pale ami agitat-
ed. He had left the house scarcely two
hours before and had departed with the
assurance that the tide had turned in the
case of his distinguished brother.
Secretary Wilson and Secretary Hitch
cock. in grief at the peril of their chief,
arrived within few moments. Neither
knew the true state of the President at
at that moment and in silent fear they
quickly entered the house. Another hur-
rying visitor was DIR. Wasdin. whose ar
rival completed the circle OF physicians.
and another was Mrs. McWilliams, the
friend of Mrs Mckinley.
The physicians. after their consultation
an the examination of the patient, could
offer little encouragement. He was very
weak and his heart was so feeble that
they feared lest his life might go out at
any time. The bulletin they issued at
$50 told of the very critical condition of
the President.
The Buffalo papers all had extras with
the sad intelligence Of the Presidents
relapse on the streets at daylight. Peo-
pie fockede in the direction of the Mil
burn residence to learn the latest news.
They stood at the ropes far down the in
tersecting streets and waited patiently
for the appearance of the morning bulle-
tin. Many of them refused to credit the
news Of the Presidents sudden change
for the worse until they learned by word
of mouth from the sentries of the Presi-
dents dangerous and critical condition.

QUESTION OF SOLID FOOD.
Replying to Criticism, Physicians sa
No Mistake Mus Made.

Severe adverse criticism has been ad-
vanced regarding the administration of
solid food to President Mckinley by the
doctors before the relapse came. The
Presidents relapse is admittedly the re-
suit of the failure of his digestive organs
to assimilate the solid food which he ate
Thursday. Important bodily functions
became impaired.
When the bulletin was issued which
said that the stomach had refused TO as
simulate the solid food the hearts OF the
country paused. They were preparing
for the worst news. which came. The
food had generated a gas and the pres
sure had Influenced the action of the
heart. This was the startling message
which was given to the world.
Dr. Roswell Park said: The President
was not given solid food before he could
stand it. He was perfectly able to as
simulate the food given him. had it nor
