PRESIDENT WILL LIVE.
Firm Conviction Of Friends Who
Surround Him.

Milburn House, Buffalo. N. Y, Sept.
10.-"God's contribution to the Amer
lean people will be the sparing of the
presidents life" AS the evening
shadows were falling last night John
G. Milburn, president of the Pan.
American exposition, reverently ut
tered these words as he stood before
the house in which the nations pa
tient was fighting so bravely with
death. And all who were at the Mil
burn residence during the day reflect
the view that the battle will be won
and the prayers of the world will be
answered. Since Sunday night not an
unfavorable symptom has appeared.
Every hour has been a victory. Faith
in the outcome grows stronger and
stronger and hope mounts higher and
higher until in the minds of some the
danger of all future complications is
brushed aside and hope has become
conviction. Indeed, many of the pres
ident's friends seem possessed with a
sort of superstitious confidence in the
presidents recovery, which nothing
but an absolute change for the worse
| can shake. And the basis for the
confidence that is expressed is solid.
| There has been nothing but improve
ment, gradual and slow, but steady
improvement. Every bulletin, every
private and public word of the physi-
clans in attendance breathes encour-
agement. The reports the physicians
have given out are facts as they exist
from a scientific standpoint unmiXed
with sentiment.
Still that the president is by no
means out Of danger is the verdict of
each of them. Not one of them will
risk his professional reputation with
statement that the president will
live. All they will say is that with
every hour the danger of compiled
lions from peritonitis or blood pois-
oning decreases. DR.. McBnrney, the
most eminent of the physicians in at
tendance, expresses the opinion that
if the Improvement continues it will
be week yet before the president
can be pronounced out of danger and
convalescent. And some of his col
leagues, like DIR. Mann, place the limit
of danger still farther away. The
fear of blood poisoning, it can be
said positively, has we'll nigh disap
peared.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1901-09-12

Dr. Rlxey arrived at the latter NJ
of the operation and held the N. htl.
DIR. Park arrived at the close of the
operation. 1t was DR.. Mann who
welded the knife.
The operation lasted almost an
hour. A cut about five inches was
finade. 1t was found necessary to
turn up the stomach of the president
in order to trace the course of the
bullet. Inc bullets opening in the
front wall of the stomach was small
and it was carefully closed with SUIT
lures, after which search was made
Tor the hole in the back wall of the
stomach. This hole where the bullet
went out of the stomach was larger
than the hole in the front wall of the
stomach, in fact, it was wound over
an inch in diameter, jagged and rag
ged. 1t was sewed up in three layers
This wound was larger than the
wound where the bullet entered the
stomach, because the bullet. in its
course forced tissues through ahead
of it.
In turning up the stomach, an act
that was absolutely necessary, and
which was performed by DR.. Mann
with rare skill, the danger was that
some of the contents of the stomach
might go into the abdominal cavity
and as a result cause peritonitis.
1t so happened that there was very
little in the presidents stomach at
the time of the operation. More
over, subsequent developments tend
to show that this feature of the oper-
alton was grandly successful and that
none of the contents of the stomach
entered the abdominal cavity. If any
of the contents had entered the cav
lty, the probability is that before
this time peritonitis would have set
in.

"Time for Actio.l Arrives. ),

Caracas, Ven., Sept. (via Haytien
cable) The Republica, semi-official
organ of the government, publishes
an inspired article ending as follows:
THE hour for notes has passed and
the time for action has arrived"
The story is told of three Protes,
tant ladies who walked into Cath
Ole church in Ireland during high
mass. 1t was raining, and they had
gone in for shelter. The priest. one
of natures gentlemen, recognized the
ladies', and, STOPPING down, said to an
attendant: 'Three chairs for the
Protestant ladies'" 1t was a kindly
thought, but the priest must have
wished he had never thought it when
the man stood up in the church and
shouted: Three cheers for the Prot
estant ladies!" 1t was oversin min
ute-the cheers were cheeredi and
could not be called back; but it was
one of the most uncomfortable mo-
ments in the good priests life.. -,

has been received from an authorita-
tive source in Cali, Colombia, near the
Ecuadorean border, stating that Ecua.
dor has interviewed as against Col
ombia with an army well equipped
and with vessels of war. Under these
circumstances, the cablegram states
it will be necessary to meet the move
of Ecuador by having Colombian war
vessels in Pacific waters near the Col.

The information in the cablegram
is considered clear evidence of Ecua-

rebellious element ON the isthmus of
Panama. Until now Ecuador has
maintained strict neutrality, but the
cablegram received today indicates
that the tirst overt move against Col

London, Sept. s.-The vast ambi-

from what the ST. James Gazette
calls President McKinleys sensation

the theme of the London editorial

''As military power and commercial

world of politics, as revealing the
new epoch upon which America, is
entering, must be immense"

the reference to the isthmian canal
is ''hint to England that the Claw

ers 'that the determination of the
United States to be uppermost in Cen

Strange Gaze at Stony civ.

Sioux City, Sept. 9.-There is I'M
doubtedly strange story connected
with the frightful injury of the pa
tient who is receiving surgical treat
ment at the St. Joseph's hospital.
He walked into the hospital a few
days ago and told the surgeons of
an uncomfortable injury which had
been inflicted upon him, but refused
to give his name, residence or who
perpetrated the deed. He simply said
he had money to pay for the treat
ment he needed and no further in
formation than this would be given.
He had evidently walked a number
of miles and had taken precautions
to prevent hemorrhage.
The other day, while travelling in
Norway, Chicago girl lost her diary
during drive through one of the
pretty little interior valleys, and was
much concerned. She asked the hotel
keeper to post notice and offer
reward; but he declined to do so on
the ground that such method of adj
vertising lost property was not GUS
tomary in Norway, and would be con-
sidefed very bad form. He promised,
however, that he would have an an
nouncement made from the pulpit of
the church on the next Sunday, which
would be very much better, because
everybody would be there, while CON-
paratively few people would see q
notice in the hotel.
