Buffalo, Sept. 9.-McKinley has gone
thru the early part of the crisis in his
case without material sacrifice of
strength or the appearance of dangerous
symptoms. There was an unsatisfactory
note in the first bulletin this morning
In the reference to the restless night
passed by the president. Some consola-
,tion was drawn from the statement that
tho sufferer had slept fairly we'll. but
4 the general effect of the bulletin was to
= break down some OF the prevailing opti-
nism and create fresh anxiety as to the
y circumstances of the previous day were
favorable and popular anticipation was
that the tidings from the sick room
would continue encouraging. The bull
letin created a feeling of upeasiness, the
fear being that the restlessness was the
forerunner of some dire things feared as
possible results of the wounds. The
slight decline in temperature and the In
clination of the pulse and respiration to
return toward normality were favorable
conditions, and the official statement
gave assurance that no unfavorable
4 symptoms had shown themselves. The
doctors are still inclined to very
hopeful view of the case and insist that
at present 1t does not present single
unsatisfactory feature. They say sew
eral complications fraught with serious
consequences may develop, but they do
not now anticipate that any of them will
: appear. The doctors began to assemble
about 8 and 1t was 9:15 before any of
them came away from the NIilburn
house. DR.. Park answered the many in
quirles with cheerful and very positive
assurance of confidence.
