Buffalo. Sept. 9-"The President will be sign
irg official papers by Saturday night" said
culture, to a Tribune correspondent at the Buff
falo Club tonight. Secretary Wilson had just
returned from the Milburn house. where he
talked with the Presidents physicians and
later. at the Buffalo Club, he conferred with
Secretary Gage Attorney General Knox and
Postmaster General Smith.
.Of course" said Mr.. Wilson, mo expects
that the President will be out of bed by that
time, but he will be strong enough to write
his name to official papers. The doctors do not
feel like coming out bluntly a layman would,
but they tell me there is doubt about the
Presidents speedy recovery. They do not ex
pect any serious complications"
'wll the Presidents disability embarrass the
government" Mr.. Wilson asked.
Not in the slightest said the Secretary
why, there's nothing important to do The
war complications are mostly over with, and
Secretary Roots department is looking after
everything Secretary Hay has tight grip on
everything in his department. By the way
want to remark right here that I believe John
Hay is the ablest living diplomat to-day bar
His critics becoming silent, because
they cannot argue against success. One handl-
cap Mr. Hay labors under is that, no matter
how much he is criticised, he makes it a rule
to say nothing back. Nor is there any ADLER
man than Secretary Root. In fact, leaving out
myself. all of the Presidents Cabinet are
specialists I'm supposed to know something
about things that grow" said Mr.. Wilson, with
smile.
rs there any good reason for apprehension in
commercial circles on account of the fresloeht
condition." Mr.. Wilson was asked.
Not now" said he Secretary Gage, who
returns to Washington tonight, has so much
gold that he does not know what to do with It,
No the business world ought to feel comforta-
BILE with the Official bulletins from the Presi-
dents Doctors
Have the members of the Cabinet discussed
repressive measures for anarchists was asked
TT has been touched informally in con-
versation" said Mr.. Wilson. 1T is more prop
er,v a state than national matter. Congress
can go only just so far. look to see new legis-
,ation in all the states having considerable
foreign born population. The trouble with anar-
chists is that they don't know when they are
we'll treated. In Europe they are hounded ABOUT
Generations of oppression and class distinction
haye bred in them discomfort and envy. They
come here and at once begin propaganda
against officials who are working all the While
for their ameoration. The people of the United
States certainly must protect themselves against
reptiles of that description
How long will the Cabinet members stay in
Buffalo,
Until the President gets about again. Theres
nothing for US to do but shall stay just the
same so that the President may feel that We
are with him."
Would the death of the President cause
widesnread convulsion in this country" Mr.
Wilson was asked.
II am afraid it might be very serious from
every point of view" said the Secretary There
is only one Mckinley. The people know what
to expect from him. Any new man would be
different proposition. I have every confidence
in the honesty, ability and conservatism of the
gentleman who would succeed the President.
He made an excellent Governor of this State
But there is only one Mckinley
