It was with smiling faces that tho physicians emerged from Prcldcnt Mc Klnley's bed chamber last night and to tho reporters they passed in leav ing tho houBC, romnrked: "Nothing now, gentlemen. Tho oxnmlnntlon was perfectly satisfactory and tho patient is Improving." Dr. McBurnoy hnld to nn Associated Press reporter, after tho Issuo of tho 3 o'clock bulletin, that all tho Indica tions continued favorable. "No bad symptoms havo appeared," oald he. "No ono can say now that tho president Is out of danger, how ever, nnd for a week tho possibility of complications may exist. At tho end of that time, If all goes well, wo may bo ablo to say that ho Is conval escent." "I havo known cases," put In Dr. Mann, who was with tho noted sur geon, "to go well for ton days and thon chango for tho worse." "That Is true, perhaps," said Dr. Mc Burnoy, samewhnt dcprecatlngly, "but It Is entirely unusual. If tho presi dent continues to lmprovo for a week wo may safely say ho Is a convales cent. It will probably bo threo weeks boforo It will bo safo to movo him. Wo must wnlt until tho outer wound Is healed and utrong. Tho inner wounds through tho stomach proper will bo strong beforo tho exterior wound Is. How long it will bo boforo ho will bo nblo to Bit up will depend on tho rapidity of his improvement, nnd I may say to you furthor that his improvement, if It continues, promises to bo rapid." Dr. McBurnoy was asked to comparo tho Garfield caso and Its trcatmont with that of President McKlnloy. Ho Bmllcd na ho ropllcd that to do bo would bo to glvo tho whole hlBtory of tho progress of surgery during tho last twenty years. "Besides," said he, "tho cases aro uttorly different. Gar flold'a wound was an extremely unfor tunato ono In ovory way. It was dif ficult to handlo, It was Impossible to get at tho bullet, whllo tho wounds of President McKlnlcy Is In many re spocts a lucky one. No comparison Is possible" Turning to tho Associated PrcsB re porter, Dr. McBurnoy snld: "You can nsBiiro your cllcntolo that all goes well. President McKtnlcy'a condition could hardly bo moro satisfactory. Furthcrmoro you can Impress nnd om phuslzo tho fact that tho bulletins Is sued stato tho truth."

Vast ambi tions of tho United States, an deduced from what tho St. James Gazette calls President McICInlcy's sensational speech at Buffalo, contlnuo to bo tho thomo of tho London editorial writers. "As military power and commercial cntcrprlso must go hand In hand," says tho St. James Gazette, "tho lmportanco of tho statements upon tho world of politics no revealing tho new epoch upon which America Is entering must bo ImmonBo." The Evonlng Standard Inquires If tho reference to tho isthmian cannl Is a "hint to England that tho Clayton Bulwcr treaty will havo to go. It looks Ilka It." Tho paper considers that tho "determination of tho United Stntea to bo uppormost In Central and South America, both commercially' and politically, Is ono of tho hardest facts of our times."

DOCTORS SEE GOOD SYMPTOMS Declare Their Patient' Condition to lie Hntlifuctory to All Ilnll-tln Imued From rime to Time Do Not Show Alarming Indication!. BUFFALO, N, Y., Sept. 9. Through this quiet, peaceful Sabbath every word that camo from tho big vino clad house on Delaware avenuo in which tho stricken chief maglstrato of tho nation lies bnttllng for life was reassuring and tonight tho chances for his recovery nro so greatly Improved that all of those who havo kept tho patient vigil at I1I3 bcdsldo feel strongly that his llfo will bo spared. Tho developments of last night nnd today woro dreaded, but hour after hour passed and tho distinguished pa tient, struggling thoro beneath tho watchful eyes of physicians and train ed nurses, showed not nn unfavorable symptom. Fivo times during tho day the eminent doctors nnd surgeons as sembled for consultation and each tlmo tho verdict was unanimous that what chango had occurred was for tho bet tor. Not the slightest premonitory symptom of peritonitis appeared and tho fresh liopo born with tho morn ing grew stronger nnd stronger as tho day advanced until townrd evening tho confidence expressed In tho presi dent's recovery seemed nlmost too san guine Dr. Charles McBurnoy, tho famous Now York surgeon, who had been sum moned In consultation, after a thor ough examination In which he snld ho had found not a slnglo unfavorable symptom, joined in tho last afternoon bulletin, which declared that tho pres ident's condition was satisfactory to all tho physicians present. It Is not strange, therefore, that the vlco president, tho mombors of the cnblnot and tho other distinguished visitors who called camo away with lighter hearts and buoyant tread and gave expression to tho most optimistic sentiments. Tho encouraging nows spread ovor tho exposition city with great rapidity and thousands camo in carriages, in street enrs and afoot to, learn for themselves of tho faith and confidence that existed about tho Mil burn house. The brightness of tho day, with Its cool, bracing atmosphere,, only added to tho gonornl cheerfulness and whon a score of newsboys darted Into tho crowd. about G o'clock shout ing "Extrnl" Tho president will live," It was with difficulty that they could suppress tho shouts of thanksgiving that roso in their throats. And yet, dcsplto all this optimism, tho president is by no means out of danger. Not ono of his physicians, not ono of his advisors who la admitted to tho Inner councils, haB tho temerity to dcclaro that ho Is, But if ho con tinues to lmprovo for ono moro day tho danger of peritonitis, which is most dreaded, will havo practically dis appeared. Yestorday one of tho doc tors thought forty-eight hours would bo tho limit of tho danger from that sourco, but his more conservative col leagues bollevo that at least twenty four, possibly thlrty-slx, from this time must olapso before tho possibility of peritonitis shall havo vanished. That disposed of, still other com plications uuy arise. Blood poisoning may set In or an abscess form whero tho bullet is Imbedded in tho mus cles of tho back. Thus far tho ball, which Is still in tho body, gives tho physicians no anxiety. But it tho slightest lnllammatlon appears In tho vicinity of tho lend It will bo Imme diately extracted.

ASSASSIN TELLS HiS STORY. now He Conceived tho Terrible Crime f Shooting the President. BUFFALO, Sept. 9. Thd Btntcmcnt of Leon Czolgosz, mado to the pollco and transcribed nnd signed by the pris oner, is ns follows: "I was born In Detroit nearly twen-ty-nlno years ago. My parents wero Russian Poles. They camo hero thirty four years ngo. I got my education In tho public schools of Detroit nnd then went to Cleveland, whero I got work. In Cleveland I read books on socialism nnd met a great many social ists. I was pretty well known aa a socialist In tho west. "After being In Cleveland for Bovernl years I went to Chicago, whore I ro-mal-cd seven months, after which I went to work in tho Nowburg wlro mills. I "During tho last five years I havo had aa friends anarchists In Chicago, Clevoland, Detroit and other western cities, and I suppose I boenmo moro or less bitter. Yes, I know I was bit ter. "I never had mucll luck nt anything nnd this preyed upon me. It mado mo moroso and envious, but what started tho crazo to kill was a lecture I heard somo little tlmo ngo by Emma Gold man. She was In Cleveland and I nnd other nnnrchlsts went to hear her. Sho set mo on fire. "Her doctrine that all rulers should bo exterminated was what set mo to thinking, so thnt my head nearly split with tho pain. M!s3 Goldman's words wont right through mo and when I left tho lecture I had mado up my mind that I would havo to do something heroic for tho causo I loved. "Eight days ago, whllo I was In Chi cago, I read In a Chicago nowspnper of President 'McKlnley's visit to tho Pan-American nt Buffalo. That day I bought a ticket for Buffalo" and got hero with tho determination to do something, but I did not know Just what I thought of shooting tho pres ident, but I had not formed a plan. "I went to live at 1078 Broadway, which Is a saloon nnd hotel. John No wnk, n Pole, a sort of politician, who hns led his pcoplo for years, owns it. I told Nowak that I came to seo tho fair. Ho knew nothing about what was set ting mo crazy. I wenf to tho exposi tion grounds a couple of times a day. "On Tuesday night I went to the fnlr grounds nnd was near tho gato whon tho presidential party arrived. I tried to get near him, but tho pollco forced mo back. They forced every ono back so tho ruler could pass. I was closo to tho president when he got Into tho grounds, but was afraid to at tempt the assassination becauso thoro woro so many men In tho guard that watched him. I was not afraid of them or that I should get hurt, but afraid I might be seized and that my chanco would bo gone forever. "Well, he went away that tlmo and I wont home. On Wednesday I went to tho grounds and stood right near tho president, right under him nenr the" stand from which ho spoke. "I thought half a dozen times of shooting whllo ho was speaking, but I could not get close enough. I was afraid I might miss, as tho crowd waa always jostling nnd I was afraid leafit my aim fall. I waited Wednesdny and tho president got Into his carriage again nnd a lot of men were about him nnd formed a cordon that I could not get through. I was tossed about by tho crowd and my spIrltB wero get ting pretty low. I was almost hopeless that ngS"t as I went home. "Yestorday morning I went ngaln to tho exposition grounds. Emma Gold man's speech was Btlll burning me up. I waited near the central entranco for tho president, who was to board his special from that gate, but the pollco allowed nobody but the president's party to pass whero tho train waited, ec I stayed at the grounds all day wait ing. "I first thought of hiding my pistol under my handkerchief. I was afraid If I had to draw it from my pocket I would be seen and Holzed by tho guards I got to tho Temple of Music tho first ono nnd waited at tho spot whero tho reception was to bo hold. "Then ho enmo, the president tho rulor nnd I got In lino nnd trembled nnd trembled until I got right up to him, nnd thon I shot him twlco through my whlto handkerchief. I would hnvo fired more, but I was stunned by a blow In tho face a frightful blow that knocked mo down, and then everybody Jumped on mo.

Every member of tho cabinet nblo to travel Is expected to speod at onco to Buffalo and thero a cabinet council will bo held to decide upon the courso, to bo followed by the executive branch. Vlco President Roosevelt Is said to bo In Vermont, this being tho Infor mation furnished by his relatives here, and of courso will hold himself In readiness to do whatover Is necessary and to meet tho obligations Imposed, upon the vlco president by the consti tution of the United States.
