ent surgeon pointed to the fact that
the beef Juice fed to the patient was
readily digested as proof as this.
suhncient time has also elapsed to
warrant the doctors in asserting that
the danger Of Inflammation where the
bullet lodged has disappeared. It is
believed that the ball has now become
,encysted In the muscles Of the back
and unless its location should prove
troublesome later on there will never
be any necessity for removing 1t. Il +
The attention Of the physicians Is
now, therefore, mainly directed to. the
care and treatment Of the wound
caused by the incisicn made in the
abdomen above the navel, where the
operation was performed. This wound
Is progressing satisfactorily.

K: Another Milestone Passed j.:
on the road torecoyery is the discon.
tinuance by the doctors Of the figures
showing respiration variations III their
official bulletins. The president now
breathes deeply and normally and the
addition of the respiration record to
the bulletin was considered valueless.
The presidents pulse was slightly &C.
celerated in the afternoon, but the
change was not deemed material. and
his temperature remained practically
stationary at 1902. The evidences OF

relish of the beef juice given him and
the increase in his allowance from one
to three teaspoonfuls, and also the
fact that the wound Is becoming

still remaining should pass away
within the next "a hours.
The president continues In excellent
spirits, but he confessed to one Of the
attendants that he was getting lone.

in another bed. A depression had
formed In the mattress on which he
has lain since he was taken to the
Nilburn house and had caused some
discomfort. Another bed was pro.

but inquiries, especially about public
matters, are discouraged, and the
rigid inhibition against the admission
of any one except his wife has not
been relaxed. It has been decided
that no attempt will be made to re-
move the president to Washington
until he has entirely recovered and
this will not likely be before October.
The physicians are all agreed that no
attempt should be made to take the
president to Washington while the
probability Of an oppressive hot spell
in the Capitol City remains.
MRS. Mckinley still displays the
same fortitude she has shown since
the tragedy occurred. She went out
for q drive again and appeared bright
and cheerful.
It can be stated IN the most positive
manner that there is no conflict OF au.
thority between the state and federal
authorities for the possession OF the
prisoner. The members Of the cabinet
are unanimously Of the opinion that
Czolgosx' o6ense Is against the state
Of New York and Erie county and that
there is NO federal statute to cover
the case. District Attorney Penny
has consulted Secretary Root as to
procedure. He did not seek MI. Roots
opinion az secretary Of war, but as
one Of the ablest lawyers in New
York state. It is understood that the
local authorities are only awaiting the
result OF the shot to formulate their
charges against the assailalt OF the
president. '}s5 ri. r Z p H'-.f[ $=${
