The Plymouth Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1878-1901, 1901-09-12

met members who called had to
say about the Presidents condi-
tion. He and they were all
hopeful almost up to the point of
congratulation that the President
would recover.
DR.. McBurney, when he came
away from the house after the 3
o'clock consultation, declined to
discuss the Presidents case, but
on leaving after his first visit in
the morning he said he had not
found single unfavorable symp-
tom.
Robert II. Lincoln, son of
President Lincoln, was still an
other who called and came away
with reassuring convictions as to
the Presidents chances.
The public fury against Czol-
gosz, which narrowly escaped
bringing about lynching i'm
mediately after the President
was shot, seems to have died en-
tirely past the danger point.
Crowds no longer gather about
the place where he is confined,
and there is no longer any loud
Or threatening talk to be heard'in
the streets. Yet the state and
national authorities have taken
no chances in the matter.
Arrangements were made at
the outset to call out the militia
at a moments notice, and Major
General Roe came merely to be
on the ground, but there seems
not the remotest chance that the
vigorous action of which he is
capable in the way of maintain
ing public order will be neces-
sary. In fact, it may be said
that the attitude of the citizens
of Buffalo has been admirable
throughout.
The carefulness with which
the regulations made to maintain
quiet about the neighbOrhood OF
the Milburn house are observed
is remarkable in a way. People
come up to the rope barriers
that cross the streets two blocks
away from the house, as a mat
ter of course, but they do not
come in great numbers, and
those who do come do not loiter
long.
In all the churches the attempt
on the Presidents life WI 5
touched upon by the clergyme,,
and the audiences in many cases
were profoundly moved.
All members of the cabinet are
now here. The cabinet officers
feel it to be their duty to be here
in this crisis to meet any emer-
gency. They are holding no
formal meetings, although there
are some matters of public busi-
ness which they daily discuss IN
formally. and the possible con-
tingencies should the President
grow worse are also thoroughly
canvassed.
They do not believe that there
is the most remote possibility
that Vice-President Roosevelt
will be called upon to exercise
the sunctions of chief magistrate
under the disability clause of the
constitution while the President
lives.
Measures of sympathy from
all over the United States and all
over the world, in fact, have
fairly overwhelmed Secretary
Cortelyou. Two more White
House stenographers have been
sent for and upon their arrival
some of the most important will
be made public.
Almost every government in
the world has been heard from,
most of the crowned hoads of
Europe sending personal mes
sages. Among the latter are
King Edward VII, Emperor Will
liam, the Kings of Portugal,
Italy and Sweden, nd athe Sui
tan of Turkey. President Loubet
of the Republic of France has
also cabled his sympathy direct.
One of the most touching mes
sages thus far received was from
Nine. Labori, the wife of Maitre
Labori, who defended Dreyfus in
his famous trial at Rennes.
