MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept.
10. 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."
Dr. Mann said tho president was
not out of danger. Ho said Borne
nourishment was administered yostor
day in tho form of enema, nnd ho had
taken somo water Into his stomach.
It ,was found that cold wator did not
ngrco with him, and, Instead, wator
ns hot aa tho prcBldeut can bear it ia
now administered. Tho president's
bowels have moved frooly today and
this lo considered an excellent symp
tom. "God's contribution to tho American
pooplo will bo tho sparing of tho pres
ident's llfo." Ab tho ovenlng shadows
woro falling tonight John Q. MUburn,
president of tho Pan-Amorlcaa exposi
tion, reverently uttered theso words aB
ho stood boforo tho houso in which
tho nation's patient was fighting bo
bravely with doath, and all who have
been, at tho MUburn rosldonco today
rollcct tho vlow Unit tho battlo will

world will bo answered.
Slnco last night not un unfavorable
symptom has appeared. Confidence In
tho outcomo grows stronger and
stronger and hopo mountB hlghor and
higher, until, In tho minds of somo,
tho danger of all futuro complications
Is brushed uslilo and with hopo cornea
conviction.

LONDON, Sept. 10. Vast ambi

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

tho St. James Gazette, "tho lmportanco
of tho statements upon tho world of

tho reference to tho isthmian cannl Is
a "hint to England that tho Clayton

of our times."
Tho Globo thinks President McICIn

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. No difficulty Is an
ticipated In tnls rcgnrd.
Tho following bulletin was Issued by
tho president's physicians at 9 p. m.:
"Tho presldont Is rcst.ng comfort
ably nnd there is no Bpoclnl chango
slnco last bulletin. Pulse, 130; tom
poraturo, 101.0; rcsplrntlon, 30.

MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept.

has boon Issued by tho president's
physicians and nono Is expected until
nfter 3 o'clock. Tho condition of the
presldont Is unchanged.

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. I thought I would be
killed and was dopressed at the way
thoy treated mo."

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Lnttit Quotations From dontk Omaha
nnd Kansas City.
BOUTH OMAHA.
CATTLE Thcro was a light run of
cattle. Tho big end of tho receipts was
corn-fed steers, comparatively few west
ems belntr on sale. Packers all seemed
to want the cattle nnd ns a result trade
wns active nnd fully steady all around.
Tliero wcro quite a few corn-fed steers
and tho quality was exceptionally good,
ns high us J3.73 being paid for a number
of bunches. Tho demand on tho part ot
nil tho packers was nctlve, so thnt
steady to stronger prices wero easily
obtained and tho yards wero cleared
nt an early hour. Even tho less deslr
nblo grndes sold without difficulty at
fully steady prices. Thcro was by no
means nn over-supply of cows, so tho
market was fully steady, An compared
with yesterday's close, It wns perhaps a
llttlo stronger. Buyers wero nil nnxious
for supplies, so that anything at nil tiood
wns disposed of nt nn early hour. Thero
wns no particular change noticeable In
tho prices paid, for bulls, calves and
strtgs, though tho better prades sold
readily at very satisfactory prices. There
were only a few stockcrs nnd feeders 011
sale, nnd whnt few wcro offered wcro
mostly of rather common quality.
HOGS Thero was a very light run ot
hogs, nnd as packers wero 'all nnxious
for supplies tho market opened 'active'
nnd 10915a higher. Tho general' run of'
hogs sold at 16.23 and J6.27',4, with tho
choicer grades going largely at $0.30. At-'
thoso prices tho hogs changed hnnua
rapidly and it was not long before tha
bulk of tho receipts was out of first
hands. Along towards tho last, how-.
over, packers seemed to weaKen a llttlo
on tho Into nrrlvals, as they thought'
iney wcro paying too mucn ror tneir
hogs as compared with Chicago. At.
thnt point tho advanco was reported ni1"
only 6OJ0c.
SIIEI3P Thoro wero very few sheop on1
salo nnd hardly enough to test tho marr
kct. Buyers seemed to wantli few,' nnd
from tho way they nctcd It Was ovldent
that they would havo bought good stuff
nt strong prices. Lambs wcro also.
scarco unu tnero was practically nothing
offered to mako n fair test of the mar
ket. Feeder sheep and Inmbs were In
fairly good domnntl and sold at steady
prices. Thero has been a good trade all
tho week on feeders, nnd that fact hn
prevented tho market from breaking a
great deal worso than, It has.
