BUFFALO, Sept. 8. 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. Tho hntterieo
were charge and tho machine is ready for
Instant use.
A'-llny Milken Tlicm Secure.
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

Even those must prominent In public life
did not sco him, as the doctors would not

V ".. e who ciuno nnd went

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.
InfniiiiiiiK aine Dtinen red,
Tho members of the cabinet worn doing
ovrrythlng In their power to prevent the
sensational exploitation of Ciolgosv. be
cause be undoubtedly craveB notoriety and
because his fellow nnarrhlsts throughout
tho country lovo It, They do not desire to
place any stone In the path of the au
thorities who aro laboring to unravel the
plot, If any plot existed, and all tho ma
chinery of the government secret service
will be used to aid tho state authorities
In tho prosecution of their Investigation,
Hut, by tho direct request of Secretnrv
Hoot, on behalf of his colleagues, tho dis
trict attorney and tho police will not per
mit the prisoner to be seen or Interviewed,
nor will they discuss tho methods or the
results of their efforts to discover tho orle

DR. LEE DESCRIBES OPERATION

the liroiiml-.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. Dr. Edward Wal
lace Lee, formorly of Omaha, who assisted
nt tho oporntlon cn. President McKlnley In
tho Emergency hospital on tho exposition
grounds at Buffnlo, arrlvcn In this city
yesterday.
"When I was summoned to tho operating
room thero were present several physlolana
In addition to tho regular hospital staff,"
he said. "The president's clothes hnd been
removed nnd he wns lying on tho operation
table. Ho had been given some temporary
relief.
"An examination wns nt once held and
from tho president's condition It was clearly
Indicated that sn operation wns Imperative
at once. We told Mr. McKlnley what was
necessary nnd ho replied:
" 'Gentlemen, do what In your Judgment
you think beat.'
"Tho prcBldont was Just as calm and quiet
ns possible Ho was not tho least hit nerv
ous. Of course, ho was suffering somo pain
nnd wns slightly nauseated, but taking
everything Into consideration, he was ab
solutely calm.
"Tho second bullet had entered five Inches
below tho left nlpplo and ono nnd n half
Inches to tho left of the modlan lino. It
hnd passed through all tho tissues nnd had
penetrated the atomnch In two places, front.
nnd back. Tho stomach wns qulto full, tho
prcsldont having eaten n hearty luncheon,
ns ho had previously told me. Of course,
thero was moro or less homor-hago and
somo of tho contents of tho stomnch were
also escaping. It was absolutely necessary
to prevent any further lenkago Into tho
abdominal cavity, and this wns nt onco
dono.
"The bullet must cither havo lodged In
tho muscles of tho back oomcwhero, or,
having spent Its force, have dropped Into
tho abdominal cavity. It had probably dono
nil tho damage It could do.
."Dr. Mann, Dr. Mynter nnd myself thor
oughly cleaned tho nhdnmlnal cavity, and,
turning tho patient on his sldo, examined
carefully to sco if tho missing bullot had
lodged beneath tho skin. Wo wero unable
to find nny trace of It.
"Mr. McKlnley Btood the operation re
markably well, nlthough It wob a delicato
matter to sow up the stomach, and wo wero
nt work about nn hour nnd a half. Ho camo
out of it In excellent condition.
"Cases of this kind nro always critical
nnd evnry surgeon present spokn of tho
seriousness of tho president's condition.
Tho patient allowed wonderful fortitude
throughout, and any man except an an
archist would havo been stricken to the
heart to seo that great, good and grand
man lying thero ns whlto os n sheet, and
yot with thnt dignity nnd calmness which
nro characteristic of President McKlnley.
"No drainage tubes wero used, as the
cavity mado them unnecessary. The In
cisions in tho stomach wero sewed up with
silk sutures and those in thn abdominal
wall with silkworm gut sutures,
"Tho tragedy shows tho great need of an
omergency hospital at expositions llko tho
Pnn-Amorlcnn, nnd Its location on tho
grounds enabled the president to obtain al
most Immediate rollef. If the patient hnd
hnd to be taken to a downtown hospital tho
contents of tho stomach would havo filtered
into tho abdominal cavity to a much greater
oxtcnt nnd thn result would havo heen much
moro serious.
"The emergency hospital nutomnbllo am.
bulanco servlco Is the most perfect one I
havo ever seen, nnd the asphalt pavements
mado It abtolutoly smooth going. When
tho ambulnnco ronched tho hospital from
tho Temple of Music tho patient wns rolled
out on the most npprovod stretcher and tho
president felt no shock or Jar nt all. It was
tho samo when tho president wns trans
ferred to Mr. Mllburn's homo,"

Prayers In the volume of a nation's chorus
woro uttered yesterday for tho llfo of tho
nation's chief, Governors of tho states set
upart the day for supplication mid men
whose lips seldom movo in prayer Jolmil

was heartfelt and unanimous throughout tho
rountry, tho keynuto Issulns from President
McKlnley's own church In Washington, tho
Metropolitan Methodist
Throughout Nebraska every town congro
gated In Its sanctuaries to cr.press its hopo
nnd fear. Tho proclamation of Governor
Savage was heralded through tho stato In
he early morning, but In most cases It hnd
been anticipated. By a common consent
services had already been announced In
every vnlo and hamlet.
There wns an cxtor.ded rainfall over tin
stato, but fanners flocked to tho towns in
tho hopo of new-B and every town reports
Its services w II attended. Muddy roads
nnd moisture recmed to have no effect on v

Felicitations Over Good lleport-.
In ninny churches whero recent now

upon tho continued good reports from tho

their usual faith un earthly assurance that

A number of tho speakers did not nttemnt

Thoi steady rnln all day did noi. have Its

The topics an announced, for tho most part,
promised something out nf the ordinary.
Clergymen discussed tho vital question of

disclosed to tho nation. Thoy left polemics
for a more quiet season.
With a dlsregnrd of church' barriers which
marks the now century's Christianity tho
clergymen nf Omaha united In n servico at

Speakers representing the lending denomi

Chicago have glvnn up their lives to satisfy
tho whims of crazed fonntlcs," nald Dr.

tempt upon tho llfo of our beloved president
not only mikes every European monarch
tremble, but it fills tho hearts of Ameri
cana with fenr for the llfo of tho republic.
If God docs not Interfere It Is Imposslhlo
to tell what fate will bcfnll our govern

the actions of dangerous citizens."
"This is n tlmo when I huvo hut llttlo
