Oyster Bay, N Y, Oct. 23.-The bar rier between Sagamore> Hill and the rest of the world was up today and nothing was to be seen of Colonel Roosevelt. A few visitors, however, succeeded in getting past and through them the news filtered out that the Colonel was steadily improving. At g o'clock tonight, after his physicians had examined his wound, they gave out this bulletin:
 Healthy Healing of Wound.
 Colonel Roosevelt has been resting in bed since his return home and is distinctly better. The wound shows that the healthy healing processes are going on. (Signedl

 Receives George w. Perkins.
 Colonel Roosevelt took a dip into politics on Sagamore Hill today. One of his visitors was George w. Perkins Of New York, who, with Senator Dixon of Montana, had charge of the coloners campaign. Colonel Roosevelt had been impatient to see MT. Perkins and to get in touch with the political situa- tion again, after being out of the fight more than week. He was thoroughly refreshed when he awoke this morn ing and showed no ill effects from his trip from Chicago, so that it was thought safe for him to talk politics for time and word was sent to MT. Perkins to come to Oyster Bay. Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York and his sons, Lawrence and Ernest Abbott, who are associated with Colonel Roosevelt in his editorial work. also spent short time at Sagamore Hill.
 Ate Three Big Meals.
 The colonel was permitted to sit Up for time and even moved about the house a bit. but Mrs. Roosevelt kept close watch on him to prevent him from over exerting himself. He ate three big meals and it was said that he was in fine spirits and appear ed to be in the best of condition, hay ing more strength than at any previous time since he was shot. By tomorrow he expects to be able to do some work. The time remaining before election day is so short and the amount of work which he would like to do is so great that Colonel Roosevelt is eager to be- gin.
 Getting Along in Fine Shape"
 pr. Scurry Terrell of Dallas, Texas, Colonel sRoosevelt's physician during the campaign, who is staying in Oyster Bay to keep a close watch on the colonel, visited Sagamore Hill twice during the day.
 Colonel Roosevelt is getting along hne,' said the doctor He was more active today and had more strength. The wound is still open, but so long as the discharge continues it should re- main open, to heal later from the in- side"
 May Address Oyster Bay Rally.
 Col. Cecil Lyon of Texas, the ex- presidents travelling companion on his campaign tours, is staying at Saga more Hill during the period of con valescence. He said Colonel Roose- welt was improving so rapidly that he expected to be back at work soon. In addition to the speech which Colonel Roosevelt is to make in New York next week he probably will address his neighbors in this and surrounding towns at rally in Oyster Bay on the night before election. The prospects for his speedy recovery have brought up the question of additional speeches. If the colonel has his way and his strength holds out, he probably will make few more addresses. It is un- derStood that this was one of the things he discussed with MT. Perkins today
