very critical condition. The pub

.oday'wfen the fact became known that
he bullet had passed completely
through Mr.. McKinley's body and pen
etrated both walls of the stomach.
Last evening it was very generally be-

the muscles of the stomach. The re-
port that it had gone through and
lodged in the back had very depress-
| ing effect.
| The doctors in attendance went
right to work and their treatment was
1ifferent from that accorded to Gar
field when he was shot.
In his case the antiseptic treatment
was at fault and the physicians IN
charge seemed to handle their patient
very reservedly In McKinley's case
they have gone right ahead and spared
nothing.
President Mckinney has stood the
operations with great fortitude and
his courage is something remarkable.
