MAYOR GAYNOR
OUT OF DANGER
Second X-Ray Examination
Shows the Bullet Did
Not Split
PATIENT HAD RESTFUL NIGHT
Wound Is Still Sore But Blood
Poisoning Is Not
Feared.

New York, Aug, 12.-Unless the un-
forseen happens Mayor GaynOr will
recover from the bullet wound infict-
ed by J. j. Gallagher. This is the
opinion of the attending physicians
this morning. The mayor passed a
restful night, sleeping soundly for
seven hours. This morning his tenn
perature and pulse were normal. The
wound is still very sore, and there is
still chance of blood poisoning but
that is now remote.
A second X-ray examination last
night showed that the bullet had not
split as first believed, but was buried
in the wall of the throat, just be-
hind the palate. The apparent frag-
ment shown by the first examination
probably was the fragment of bone.
Steadily Improving.
New York, Aug. 12.-The mayor
passed a comfortable morning. At
1:30 bulletin said that he had taken
nourishment and is steadily improv-
ing.

will be given all the information at
hand. Lewis further declared that
there will be no straddling or white

ceal. More than 1900 delegates are in

a medley of well known tunes. About

across to the musicians and cried out:
"This is Republican meeting. We
want no such tunes here!" Amazed
the musicians stopped Immediately.
The Senator strobe back to his seat.

10000 DEAD FROM CHOLERA

10000 Houses Submerged

St Petersburg, Aug. 12.-Cholera
continues to rage in Russia. From
July 81 until August G there We're re-
ported poses cases throughout Rus
sia, with S,679 deaths.
Crop Failure.
It appears probable that the actual
number of deaths is larger than indi-
Gated by official reports. This placed
the number of deaths up to July 81
at 25,554, but unofficial opinions place
the number as high as 10000. The
gloom in southern Russia caused by
the epidemic is deepened by the fail
ure Of crops in some districts.
Thirty Thousand Houses Submerged.
Toxic. Aug 12-The devastation
throughout many districts by recent
foods is appalling. Whole villages
and towns were washed away, many
lives were lost. In the lower sections
of Toxic alone thirty thousand houses
