Gives up Ills Trip and Returns TO
Washington.

The Presidents injuries in the trolley
accident in Massachusetts, proved to be
not serious, but one, a bruise on his
left shin. failed to heal, and physi-
clan was called who informed him
that he would have to submit TO an OPP
GRAFTON, and rest for a week or two.
This was in Indiana, aud he submitted
TO the operation at Indianapolis, Tues
day, aud left that night for Washington
where he will remain till it is safe for
him to start again on his tour OF speech
making.
The operation consisted in inserting
q tube into the abscess and pumping
out the matter. which showed no sigus
OF blood poisoning. He declined &C
take an snssrhetic and joked about the
operation while IL was going on, bul
couldn't help hinchiug at times. Officer
seekers would have found 1t bad time
to pull his leg.
The physicians said the sore woull
probably heal within a week, but il
might take two.
Finding that he would have to give
up his trip, the President made hi
tariff speech, which he had intended I,
make in Wisconsin, ut Logansport, anS
