Through this quiet, peaceful Sabbath every word ihnt cams from the big vino-clad house on Delaware avenue In which tho stricken chief magis tral of tho nation lies battllnR for life was reassuring and tonight the chances for hit recovery are so greatly Improved that all of those who have kept the patient vIrII at his bcdrfldc fuel strongly that his life will he spared. The developments of last night nnd today wero dreaded, but hour after hour passed and the distinguished patient, struggling there beneath the watchful eyes of phy sicians and trained nurses, showed not an uufinorublu symptom. Five times during the day the eminent doctois and mirgcons as sembled for consultation and each time the verdict was unanimous that what change had oeeuirtd was for tho bettur. Not tho slightest piomonltory symptom of peri tonitis appeared and tho fresh hope born with the morning grew stronger and stronger as- tho day advanced until toward evening tho conlldcncu expressed In the president's recovery seemed almost too raugulne. Aiithorltiittt c KucoiiriiMciitciit. Dr. Charles McBurncy. the famous New York surgeon, who had bem summoned In consultation, after n thorough examination In which ho said ho had found not a slnglo unfavorable symptom, Joined In the last afternoon bulletin, which declared that tho president's condition was satisfactory to all the phlclans present. It Is not strange therefore that tho vice president, the members of the cabinet and tho other distinguished vltltorH who called caiiio ii way with lighter heart!) and buoyant trend and gave cxproanton to tho most opti mistic sentiment!). Tho encouraging news spread over tho txposltlon city with great rapidity and thousunds came In carrlage-i. In street curs and afoot to learn for them Bclvns of the futlli and confidence that existed about tho Mllburn house. The bright ness of tho dny, with Its cool, bracing at mosphere, only added to tho general cheer fulness and when n senro of newsboys darted Into the crowd about t5 o'clock shout- 1 Ing. "Extra! Tho president will live," It vns with dlllleulty that they could suppress tho slioutw of th.inksglvlng that roso In their tin cuts. And tho newspaper men, many of whom have been at their poats for forty eight hours continuously, remained stead fastly throughout the day In tho little white walled lento across the street from th-i house where tho country's patient lay nnd Hashed the news ovter land and sea, Peritonitis' Mont Uremic il. And yet, detplto all this optimism, tho incident Is by no means out of danger. Not nno of IiIb physicians, not ono of hi ml vis is who !s admitted to the inner count M has tho temerity to declare thnt, ho Is, Hut if he continues to Improve for one mere day tho danger of peritonitis, which Is most dreaded, will have practically ills appealed. Yesterday one of tho doctors thought forty-alght hour? would bo thn limit of the ilnng'.r from that source, but his more conservative colleagues bolievo that at least twenty-four, poialblv thirty six, from this tlmo must clnnso before tho postlblllty of peritonitis shall have van ished. That disposed of still other complications may f.iisc. Rlood-polsrntng may set in or nn nbeess form where tho bullet Is Imbed ded in tho muscles of tho back. Thus far tho ball which Is still In tho body gives thn physicians no anxiety. Hut If the slight est Inflammation appears In the vicinity of tho lead It will ho Immediately extracted. No dlllleulty Is anticipated In. this regard. Ono of Kdlson's, heat X-ray m.ichlnoa and )Us most skilled nnd trusted operator. Ur. II, A, Knolls, arrived 'today.

With It tho physicians say there Is not tho sllghto't doubt that 'tho ball can bo located perfectly for an operation. They do not ilrem It advisable to sap any of the president's strength nt this tlmo. All his icservo force Is needed now to resist tho danger of peritonitis and septic poisoning. Decides, If Inllommatlon does not set In around tho bullet It will soon become en cysted. All the effects of tho other which was administered when tho operation was per formed, on tho exposition grounds had ills nrposjEjji1 this mcrnlng nnd the president's mind was perfectly clear during the tlmo ho was awake today. Today for the first tlmo ho enjoyed natural sleep. While he was still more or less under tho Influence of tho nnncsthetlo his slumbpr Wcs rcjtlvis and disturbed and dll hlro llttlo real good Today, b-twern 9 and I o'clock, he had the solace of natural slumber for four hour and tho physlelaus (tinted unofllolally that his sleep hud been ''quiet and reposeful" nnd had helped the sufferer a great deal. First Nourishment Injected. Today also for the first tlmo nourish ment wen administered. It was in liquid fcrm and was Injected hypodermlcally to ovcld the possibility of Irritating tho wall of tho stomach. The exterior wound was dressed this morning nnd is progressing --tUtnctorlly. All duy tho member of tho cabinet and others associated with the president In public llfo en mo solicitously nnd went away almost rejoicing ovor the hopeful outlook Vlro President Roosevelt received the ear lier bulletins nnd after going to church hurried to the reJlt'enee, There he was Joined by Senator Hnnnn. They came away v together and gao expression to thn most coolldcut and encouruglug sentiments. Ths I vice president not only shared the chcerr g, Lilt was extremely optimistic. Irmrn tools occasion to denounce the president's condition was even under stated uy inc pnysicians, inrough con servitude. Later, Secretary Cortclyou took ocrnslon to emphasize this very point by issuing n omclal statement, assuring the public of the complete trustworthiness of the bulletins sent out by tho physicians. Cahlnct MciiihcrN Clime nt lliintl. Senator Hanna came again during tho afternoon and Secretary Hoot took up apart ments next Ooor. Secretary OaRC, Secretary llltrhcock and Attornoy General Knox called tORcthcr about uoon and, Indeed, there was no tlmo during the day when some member of tho cabinet was not In the house wheru his stricken chief lay, Even those must prominent In public life did not sco him, as the doctors would not rclnx th0 lr,,l,t""1 ru p h0)' "'8. 11,1,1 cl0)w' V ".. e who ciuno nnd went moved Hllently and reverently, receiving the latest statements from tho doctors and departing All hc members of the cablncnt are now here, except Secretaries Hay and Long. The former telegraphed today that ho would start from Newberry tomorrow. Secretary Long also telegraphed that ho was coming, but did not specify the time. Tho cabinet officers feel It to be their duty to bo hero In this crisis to meet any emergency. They arc holding no formal meetings, although there are some matters of public business which they dally discuss Informally nnd the possible contingencies should the pres ident grow worso are also thoroughly cuu vusstd. (oiuMTtiliiK Utmiiei flt'n Duty. They do not believe that there Is the most remote possibility that Vice President KooscvclL will be i ailed upon to exorcise the functions of chief magistrate under tho disability clauso of tho constitution while thu president lives. Vleo I'resldcnt Roose velt would not' hear of such n courne. Still. In the event of grave International com plications nn emergency might occur, nnd tho question him nrlson In their minds as to who should proclaim tho disability pro vided for by tho constitution. That Instru ment Is silent on the subject. There Is no precedent to follow. During the protracted Illness of ('resident Gnrllcld before his death Vice President Arthur was not called upon to act. The consensus of opinion among tho members of the cabinet Is that should the occasion arise they themselves would have to decide and proclaim tho cxlstenco of tho disability The supremo court, they say, cannot do so. ns there would ho no wuy In which the question could be raised before that tribunal. The mem bers of tho cabinet aro making their head quarters at the Buffalo club and there Interchanges take place. They arc to re main hero for the present nnd the plans of departure are Indefinite and not even thought of while the, president 1.1 not en tirely nut of danger. If ho should pass tho danger point, ho.wcvor, thoy will re turn at once to Washington. Vice President Roosevelt's attendance nt the morning service of tho First Presby terian church gave occasion for a heartfelt expression of the sorrow universally felt over tho calamity and tho detestation of tho nssasn'n's methods. A fervid prayer by tho pastor, Dr. Mitchell, Invoked the sterneit reprobation of anarchy and asked that the temples of public life be scourged of men willing to temporize with tho madness of anarchy. ('iiiiiiiIIiiiik Mien i Interest, Tho Interest in tho president's condition wns surh neross tho Canadian border that the Associated Press was asked to furnish a bulletin to bo read this morning In the churches of Quebec and Montreal nnd manv requests of a similar nature came to Sec retary Oortelyou from different parts of the United Stntes. Tho messages of sym pathy from the United States nnd from nil over the world, In fact, have overwhelmed Secretary Cortclyou. Two more Whlto llouso stenogrnphors have been sent for and on their arrival, perhaps tomorrow, some of the moro Important messages will be mado publl;. Almost every government In tho world has been heard from, most of the crowned heads of Kurope sending per- ronal mcssiges, Among the latter aro King lidward VII, Kmperor William, the kings of Portugal, Italy and Sweden and tho sultan of Turkey. President Loubet of tho Republic of Franco has also cabled his sym pathy direct. One of the most touching messages thus far received was from Madam Ijibnrl. wife of Maltro Labor!, who defended Dreyfus In his famous trial at Kcnnes, .Mm, .lleKlnlf- XIII llrnve. Mrs. .McKlnley continues to hear un bravely and her fortitude under thn cir cumstances Is rogarded as remarkable. One of her dearest and closest friends. Mrs. Hnnd of Washington, has hrrlved here and will probably remain with her during this trying period. Secretary Oortelyou, In whoso hands tho management of everything seems to be, was nbln to take some rest this morning for tha first tlmo slncu tho tragedy. Tho grent conlldrnce which tho president has in his secretary could not bo moro strikingly Il lustrated than at the Kxposltlon hospital when ho was about to be placed on the operating tnble. Tho president realized that the sooner the operation was porformed tho better nnd he was perfectly willing to submit himself to the knife. His onlv solicitude wan us to tho competency of the surgeons who wero to perform the oporntlon. Just before ho was placed upon tho table he called Secretary Corlolyou to him and usked him whether the surgeons wore all right. Mr. Cortclyou assured him that ho had mado Inquiries and that thoy were reputed to bo the most skillful In their professions. Tho president necepted the assurances ln s'antly and Immediately nnnounced that he was ready.
