PRESIDENT UNDER KNIFE
usdergoes a Second Operation on the
Abscess OF His Left Leg.
THE BONE SLIGHTLY AFFECTED.
Or. Newton N. Shaffer, Of New York, Was
Called In Consultation and the Operation
Was Performed By Or. Rlxey, Assisted By
Drs. Lung, 0'Reilly, Uric and Stitt. II was
Found That the Bone Was Effected.

Washington, D. c. lSpeciaD An
other operation was performed Sun
day on the abscess OF the left leg OF
the President.
In the former operation a simple
needle was used to relieve the trouble
but this time the surgeons with knife
made an incision into the small cavity,
exposing the bone, which was found
TO be slightly affected.
The Presidents case has been pro-
crossing satisfactorily, but it is believ-
ed by the physicians that the further
operation made will hasten his COM
plete recovery. While none OF the doc
tors is willing TO be quoted, they give
the most positive assurances that there
is not the least cause for alarm, and
say that on the contrary there is every
indication OF a speedy recovery; that
the area OF bone affected is very Slight.
and will not result in any impairment
of the Presidents limb, and that there
is no evidence whatever OF any matter
that would produce blood poisoning
They confidently expect that the Presi-
dent will be on his feet within rea-
sonable time. and with his robust CON
stitution to assist recovery, soon will
be himself again.

HOTEL BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.
The Lives OF Thirty People Eudangered-Man
Commits Suicide.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD D.-Frank
Mckee, a young machinist, wrecked
the Golden Eagle Hotel, a modest hos
telry at the corner OF New Jersey ave.
and D streets, with dynamite and blew
out his own brains. His dead body
was found in his room in the hotel
buried in a mass OF debris. The whole
affair is a mystery.
Mr.. Lewis Brandt, the proprietor OF
the hotel. can assign no reason for Nc
KEGS action. He is reported to have
been infatuated with Sophie Brandt, the
daughter OF his landlord, but this is
vigorously denied by the girls parents,
and in view OF the fact that the girl is
but IA years old, this explanation seems
scarcely plausible. Mckee is said at
times to have been OF irregular habits.
Happily his life was the only forfeit OF
his crime. Mr.. and Mrs. Brandt and
their family--a son and the daughter
Sophie-escaped with only trifling in
juries, nor were any OF the guests in
the hotel seriously hurt. The building
is badly wrecked, however, and it may
prove necessary to rebuild the struc-
ture.

Meets Hays Complaint.

The report that the government OF
Roumania has discontinued the issuance
of passports to Jews intending to emf
CRATE to America, though not officially
confirmed. is regarded by the Washing.
ton authorities as an immediate and
direct recognition by Roumania of the
accuracy of the statements made by
Secretary Hay in the note respecting the
evils of this Jewish immigration and the
underlying causes. The repc rted sus-
pension of emigration would be regard
ed as removing the only direct issue be-
tween the United States and Roumania,
and, while we may continue to have a
deep concern in the betterment of the
condition of the Roumanian Jews, the
United States government must, for the
time, rest content with what it has done
in the issue Of the identic note to the
powers.
As to the effect upon the Jews them
selves of the suspension of the right to
emigrate to America, the opinion ex-
pressed here is that the order will accen-
tuate the evils from which the Jews
are suffering at present and that TACT,
in the end, by attracting the attention
of the powers and exciting the humane
sentiments of civilization, will force an
amelioration OF the condition of the
IeWs

Cotton Crop Injured.

A number of special agents of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture have left Washington for the South,
for the purpose of investigating GER
tain features of the cotton movement.
Statistician Hyde's estimate of the
amount OF cotton actually grown dur
ing the year IooI-Ioo2, and the report
of the Census Office as to the amount
ginned during the year both differ con-
siderably from the amount marketed,
according to commercial reports. The
department believes the difference is
made up largely OF cotton carried over
from preceding years and OF linters and
repacks. No expense will be spared,
it is said, in an investigation as to what
the commercial crop really amounted
to and what it consisted OF, and full
statement OF the result will be made
public by the Statistician.

NEGRO DIES IN FLAMES
Young CoIored Man is Lynched in Mis-.
sissippi.
coNFEsSEs TO THE HORRIBLE CRIME.
Says Before He Dies That He Deserved His
Fate-The Lynehiug Carried Out as Plan
ned by Prominent Citizens OF corluth, and
Crowds Come From Far and Near--cIark's
Wife Informed on Him.

Corinth, Miss. (SpeciaD .-Writhing
in the flames OF fagots piled by hun
dreds OF citizens, Tom Clark, alias VIII
Gibson, a young negro, was burned at
at the stake here. Clark had confess
ed to one OF the most atrocious as
saults and murders in the history OF
Mississippi, and said that he deserved
his awful fate. On August 10 last Mrs.
Carrie Whitfield, the wife OF we'll
known citizen, was found dead in her
home, Investigation showed that she
had been assaulted Her head was
practically severed from her body
Both Whitfield and his wife were re-
lated to several of the most promi-
nent families in the South, and the in
dignation OF the people knew no
bounds. Corinth and the surrounding
country was secured in an effort to ap-
prehend the murderer. but diligent
search failed to disclose his identity.
Two detectives from Chicago were
employed, but their efforts were fruit
less. Several suspects were arrested,
but in each case an alibi was proven.
A committee of IL citizens we're named
to continue the search for the mur-
derer, and these men have been very
active in their work.
On Monday last it became known
that Tom Clark, a negro living near
here, had had trouble with his wife and
that the latter threatened to disclose
the secret OF a crime. Officers appre-
hended the woman, and she told
enough to warrant the belief that
Clark had murdered Mrs. Whitfield
Clark was arrested and only Satur-
day was brought before the committee
OF twelve in Corinth. The negro finally
confessed to the murder and also told
OF other crimes that he had com
mitted.
He said that several years ago he
killed two men on an excursion train
in Mississippi. He told OF an outrage
perpetrated by himself on a negro
woman and also of the theft OF $500
from a physician at French Camp,
Miss. Clark said that he never had
been suspected OF having committed
any OF these crimes and had covered
up his tracks in way to deceive the
officers OF the law.

Miss Taylor's Fight

Counsel for Miss Rebecca J. Taylor,
who was dismissed recently from the
War Department as a result OF her
published criticisms OF the administra-
tion's policy in the Philippines, filed a
demurrer to Secretary Roots answer
to her petition for mandamus to COM
pei the Secretary to restore her to a
clerkship. She alleges that her re-
moval was without just cause or au-
thority OF law; that it was because OF
her political opinions and that clerk
has vested rights to the office until
removed by the proper authorities act
ing within the range OF their authority
which she disputes in this case. Her
demurrer contends that no head OF an
executive department is empowered to
remove & subordinate in violation of the
laws OF Congress or the rules OF the
President.

DR.. Newton NJ. Shaffer, OF New
York, who long has been acquainted
with the Roosevelt family and has at
tended the Presidents children at vari-
Gus times, and who also is a we'll
known bone specialist, joined the
Presidents physicians in their morning
consultation at 10 o'clock.
1t was noticed that there had been
slight rise in the Presidents temoers-
ture and an increase in local symptoms,
and the conclusion was reached that
the patients recovery would be hasten
ed by making an incision OF the wound
for the purpose OF relieving the slight
tension or swelling which was present
and also to drain the wound.
The operation was performed be-
tween ? and 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Al application OF cocaine was used to
allay the pain. The President stood
the operation very we'll and subse-
quently expressed his satisfaction at
the successful result DR.. Rixey, the
surgeon general OF the navy, performed
the operation, assisted by DR. Lung,
the Presidents regular physician.
DIR. O'Reilley, who also was pres
ent with the other physicians, is the
surgeon general OF the army, and here
tofore has been consulted regarding
the case. DR.. Edward R. Stitt, another
OF those present is in charge OF the
Naval Museum OF Hygiene and Medi-
cal School
The physicians took a roseate view
OF the Presidents prospects for get
ting out again. He has become some
what restive because OF his close conhnc-
ment and the physicians are consid-
ering the advisability OF permitting him
70 take a ride in few days. The ply
sicians say the question now is simply
one OF the healing OF the wound and
reiterate that this will be nastened by
she operation performed.
At the White House at 10 o'clock it
was stated that the President was do
ing very well and that no additional
statement would be issued. Late in
the evening DR.. Shaffer, while he de-
clined to discuss generally the Presi-
dents case, authorized in the most pos
itive manner the statement that there
need not be the least cause for anxiety
or alarm regarding his condition, bu!
said, on the contrary, he coud give
every assurance OF the belief that the
President will soon recover.
