day ride from Chicago to PittSburg, he showed no 1ll-effects on his arrival here tonight, and the physicians who are accompanying him were confident that he would reach Oyster Bay in almost as good condition as when he left Mer cy hospital. Mrs. Roosevelt and physi- clans, while believing that the colonel had sufficient strength for the trio, were nevertheless concerned as to the outcome when the time came tor his departure, and during these few hours they watched the patient closely for any signs of setback. AS the day wore on and it became plain that he was resting comfortably on the big brass bed in his stateroom, the tension was relaxed, and tonight everyone or the coloners car was breathing more easily. s Tossed in Bed by Imperfect Brake.
 Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in reading magazines, talking and sleep ing. As soon as he was brought to his car in Chicago he went to bed and re- mained there throughout the day. Hc said in the morning that he did not feel like sleeping, but the swaying of the car tired him and he slept for sev- eral hours. The hardships of the Jour ney were increased by several severe jolts caused by the imperfect action of a brake on the coloneps car, and once or twice the train came to such an abrupt halt that the colonel was 7 tossed about in his bed. The colonel was suffering from nervous exhaustion when he left Chicago. and he found the motion of the train more tiresome, so that he was glad he was able to sleep occasionally. fo
 Cheers Suppressed at Lima, o.
 The progress of the Roosevelt train was watched by silent crowds At many of the stations people were out to see the train pass through. They brought flowers and fruits, to the wounded man and sent him messages of greeting.

It all formed !. which Colonel Roosevelt has made dur. ing the campaign, with the cheering and hand -clapping and blaring of brass bands At Lima, Ohio. there was tie only suggestion of a cheer during the day. large crowd had gathered at the station and some one started a cheer. Colonel Cecil Lyon of Texas. the ex-president's travelling companion, who was standing on the platform, raised his hand. The people under stood and the cheer died away on the lips of the man who had begun it.

 Dr. Alexander Lambert of New York. who with Dr. Scurry Terrell of Dallas, Texas, is caring for Colonel Roosevelt, said that the wound had bled some during the day. but that the bleeding was merely the result of the draining -A AIA fv.1f ffrv. of the healing process. Bulletins were issued by the physicians from time to time during the day, but they merely reported that the colonel was resting easily and that his condition wal un- changed. Aided by the X-ray exam 1nation made yesterday, Dr. LaInberl was able to determine the position o1 the bullet by an external examination today. He placed a finger on the pre- else spot, and Colonel Roosevelt show ed him that he was right for he said: That's mighty sore there."
 Simple Matter to Remove Bullet.
 "The bullet is imbedded in the majoi pectoral muscle" said Dr. Lambert land as the X-ray photograph showed ls close to the fourth rib on the righ' side. It will be a simple matter to re- move the bullet later. should Colone ftOOSeNSlL WISH IL.
 May Speak for Half an Hour
