A special to the Times from Buffalo say?: "The attending physicians told Vice President Rooseve It that he could send word to Senator Proctor, Senator Lodge and other party leaders and personal friends to the effect that the t President would recover.

BUFFALO. Sept. 7. The bulletins Issued by the President's physicians during the Cay tell a story of their own. They show that the distinguished patient's great vitality may yet cheat the Anarchist of a victim. This bulletins follow in order, with the signatures omitted: 6 o'clock a. m. The President has passed a good night. Temperature, 102; pulse, 110; respiration, 2l. 9 o'clock a. m. The President passed a fairly comfortable night, and no serious symptoms have developed.

Pulse. 136; temperature. 102; respiration, 28. 12:10 o'clock p. m. (unofficial.) Postmaster General Smith, who left the residence at noon, appeared very much encouraged at the outlook for the President's recovery, lie said the great danger lay in blood poisoning cr reritonitls. The bullet, the physicians declared, was now a minor factor. 3 o'clock p. m. (unofficial.) At 3 o'clock the President was dozing peacefully. He has nor yet recovered completely from the effects of the ether administered during the operation. Airs. McKinley is in her room, lying down and showing remarkable fortitude. No bad symptoms have yet been manifested. 2:20 o'clock p. m. The President continues to rest quietly. No change for the worse. PuNe. 1W; temperature. 1C2.2; respiration, 21.1 S:30 o'clock p. m.

Crisis Is Expected Within TwentyFour Honrs Physicians Hopcfnl. BUFFALO, Sept. 7. President McKinley's condition Is extremely grave. The crisis will probably come within twentyfour hours. While his physicians hold out hope and the developments of the day have been somewhat encouraging in that none of the symptoms of peritonitis or blood poisoning, which they so much dread, have appeared, medical experience with similar wounds causes much anxiety, and the physicians shake their heads gloomily when they speak of the future. Although thfir distinguished patient's condition has been favorable throughout the day, they do not desire to buoy the country up with false hopes. Inflammation is what they fear, and at the first sign in that direction the country must steel itself for the blow. For the time being the bullet of the assassin, which Is still in the body, is a secondary consideration. While it has not been absolutely located, they all agree that after passing through the abdominal cavity and perforating both walls of the stomach perhaps it lodged in the lleshy muscles of the back, and If necessity required it could be easily located with the X Roentgen rays and extracted. They agree that it is now of more importance that the President should recover from the shock of the operation than that the bullet should be removed. Peritonitis is what they dread most and after that septic poisoning and suppuration of the wound. The crucial point will come within fortyeifcht hours, possibly sooner. Indeed one of tiie attending physicians said to-day that if no signs of inflammation appeared btfore to-morrow night he would consider the chances of utlimate recovery exceedingly good. Several of his colleagues, however, are not so sanguine. DOZKD DROWSILY. The President has been dozing drowsily throughout the major portion of the day. Two physicians and two trained nurses are ( onstantly at hi. bedside, lie ha not yet fully recovered from the effects of the ether which was administered to him. He was under the Influence of the powerful anesthetic over an hour. The result Is that although perfectly rational when conscious, he dozes, much of the time. Absolute yuiet
and freedom from excitement the physi- T
cians regard as the great essential now, and visitors are rigidly excluded. Not a Cabinet officer nor even Secretary Cortelyou was allowed in the sick chamber today. With the exception of the physicians and attendants Mrs. McKinley was the only person who crossed the threshold. The President asked to see her, and his physicians did not have the heart to refuse his request. She was there but a few minutes, seated at his bedside, as he, in his devotion to her in her Illness, has so often been at hers. Mrs. McKinley had been warned not to talk, and the President and his wife exchanged only a few words. It was only when he asked her to be brave for both their sakes that she faltered and almost broke down. With choking throat and brimming eyes she promised with a bow of her head. Almost immediately thereafter she was led from the room by Dr. Rixey. Mrs. McKinley, throughout this trying ordeal, has shown remarkable fortitude. She has been mistress of herself and her sorrow, and has been almost as calm and self-possessed as the President himself. And no more than that could be said, for throughout it all the President has been cooler than those about him. He was so yesterday when the pistol was discharged against his breast, and he has been so to-day, even in his semi-consciousness. When Dr. Rixey told Mrs. McKinley to-day of the gravity of the case she did not break down. On the contrary, feeble as she Is, grief seemed to lend her strength, and she felt that she must bear up for his sake. NO NOURISHMENT. The President has taken no nourishment since he was shot. Water Is given to him at intervals, but no food of any kind as yet. His physicians say he has plenty of reserve strength to draw upon and for the present no nourishment nor artificial stimulants are necessary. No medicine except digitalis has been given, and that was ad ministered to quiet his pulse, which mounted this morning to 14G. Both his respiration and temperature, although they varied considerable during the day, were considered satisfactory. Mrs. Duncan, sister of the President, and her. son and the Misses Barber, nieces of the President, also left tho Mllburn residence, and at midnight departed for Canton. They are to be closely advised of the condition of Mr. McKinley, and should there be a serious change will return here. Other members of the presidential party who have been quartered in the Milburn residence will temporarily withdraw to further aid the plan of securing perfect quiet. The public shows its truest approval of the plan by keeping away from the locality, and neither the sentries nor the police have encountered any opposition. The doctors Issued five bulletins between 6 o'clock this morning and 6:3o this evening, and because they showed an absence of unfavorable conditions they were generally regarded as very hopeful. The record of pulse showed a wide variation during the day, but any alarm occasioned on that score was minimized by a statement from Dr. Rixey, the President's physician, that Mr. McKinley's pulse under normal condi tions was inclined to be erratic and that he was not unfavorably impressed by the circumstances. The physicians were not concerned as to the patient's temperature. During the forenoon and well into the afternoon It held at 102 degrees, and then began to increase slightly. At 3:30 it was 102.2, and three hours later it had "risen to 102.5. Even at the latter point it was not viewed with concern. The respiration was looked upon as being qulte satisfactory. Vice President Roosevelt reached the Mllburn residence shortly after 1 o'clock to day, after traveling continuously since 7 o'clock last night, when he left Burlington, Vt. He was escorted from the station as far as the Hotel Iroquois by a squad of mounted police and the remainder of the way by a squad'of bicycle police. He ex pressed his deep distress at the tragedy, but beyond that declined to make any statement. He remained at the residence about half an hour and then went to the near-by home of Ansley Wilcox, whose guest he will be during his stay. MAY" HOLD CABINET MEETING. By evening all the members of the Cabinet except Secretary Hay and Secretary Long had arrived. They came as fast as steam and steel could carry them. Both the secretary of state and the secretary of the navy are expected to-morrow. Secretary Wilson and Secretary Root spent most of the day at the Milburn residence. All the members of the Cabinet will remain here until the result of the wound is determined It is probable that after they all arrive a Cabinet meeting will be held. Informally they have discussed to-day the possibility of Vice President Roosevelt being called upon to act as chief magistrate during the disability of the President. But all prece dents are against such a course while the President lives. Arthur did not assume the reins of government until after President Garfield's death and the contingency of Vicv President Roosevelt being called upon to serve temporarily, except in the case of unlooked for and very serious foreign com plications is regarded as very remote. A plan to insure absolute quiet for the President was put in operation and the safeguards are now such that it will be practicably impossible for him to be disturbed in any way. General Brooke, commander of the Department of the East, who came lure this morning from New York, assumed personal charge of the mil itary, and vinder his direction the picket lines were placed in every direction. Aided by the city police, the soldiers roped off the streets which intersect Delaware avc nue near the Mllburn residence, and both teams and pedestrians were kept out of the district. The telegraph office, which had been in the Milburn stable, was re moved to a tent pitched on a lawn on the opposite side of the avenue. An additional tent for the use of the newspaper corre spondents was also placed there. The (CONTINUED "'ON PAGE COL 1.)

Staff Correspondence cf the Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. The gloom of Washington to-night was in marked contrast to the hopefulness of last night. The cheering reports which followed the operation yesterday dispelled the grief which came with the first report from Buffalo. Despite the continuing reports of favorable symptoms the crowds which stood in front of the bulletin boards to night refused to be cheered. The good news was received with handclappings, but there was not that show of exuberance which ma.de the people almost happy last night. The ofilcial news was constantly discounted m private reports of various kinds that discredited the physicians bulletins. New York reports were to the cfTeCt that extraordinary efforts were being made to care for the market next week. Private information from the department was being constantly distributed. While these distressing reports could not be authenticated, they left their effect. Dr. Robert Reybourn, who was one of Garfield's physicians, gave a public Interview after reading the medical reports to the effect that the President's chances were about even. Surgeon General Wyman said practically the same. Surgeon General Van Reypen, of the navy, agreed to this. Thes.e public expressions caused many to have interviews with their family doctors, who gave substantial accord. Upon reflection, the conclusion was forced that the medical opinion was that the chances were 50 per cent, against recovery as well as 50 per cent, in favor of recovery. Also, they were forced to a realization of the man in the street thcit the favorable reports of the second day might be practically the same if the ultimate result was not to be fatal as they would be if he was to recover. The mathematical calculation of chances proved to be pressing. The people remained optimistic, but they faced a better understanding of the seriousness of the case. Even the wisest and most skillful physicians and surgeons could not prophesy; only wait developments with a close knowledge of probabilities. FINANCIAL ANXIETY. Treasury officials make no effort to conceal the business Importance of the President's condition. London is as anxious to know as New York. Secretary Gage is in Buffalo, but his policy is thoroughly understood here. Department officials here believe that the New York banks are in a position to take care of themselves if the President lives. They realize, however, that should the President die a panic could hardly be averted by the strength of the banks alone, and In that event the financial department of the government must come to the rescue of the money markets to restore confidence. There is no question whatever that the Treasury Department stands ready to render to the banks all possible assistance in preserving the credit of the financial institutions and the business confidence and stability of the country. If the money panic seems impending there are just three things that the Treasury Department can do to relieve the situation. The first and mo?t direct means would be to increase the cash deposits of the government in the national banks. The government has about JlCC.0o0.000 deposited In banks. This amount may be Increased by a few millions of dollars and still keep within the margin of safety covered by the bonds that the banks have on deposit with the Treasury Department. The law allows the secretary of the treasury a great deal of latitude in this matter of deposits, but no secretary has ever yet gone to the full extent of the law in making deposits, and it is unlikely that Mr. Gage will do so. Another means of relief is by the purchase of government bonds, and this method is most apt to be adopted, because the government has plenty of cash In Its treas
ury, constantly piling up a surplus, drawn from the business community by payment of customs and revenues, and It Is anxious to reduce the national debt as rapidly as may be. In case of a panic the price of government bonds would most certainly drop to a figure that would be attractive to the Treasury Department, and almost unlimited purchases of them could be made directly from the subtreasury in New York, where money would be available for instant use In the markets. The only other plan that is at all practical and that has been thought about at
all is the anticipation of the government's Interest payments. Several million dollars must be paid out in interest on Oct. 1, but the amount would hardly be sufficient to relieve a serious situation. Late private advices from Buffalo tonight say the President's condition is grave. This Information is in line with reports received by business interests In New York and disseminated during the day. SUCCESSION TALK. It is accepted as a fact here that in an administrative sense there is no need of the presence of tho Cabinet In Buffalo. It is necessary, however, that there be- safe guidance in case of talk of temporary succession. The Cabinet would be, as a matter of sound statesmanship, against Vice President Roosevelt temporarily assuming the duties of office, owing to the President's Inability. This would In no way reflect personally against Roosevelt. It is reported here that strong members of the Cabinet hold that it would be dangerous to form such a precedent. In the case of a strong Cabinet, a weak President and an ambitious Vice President this might prove dangerous. It is held by the Cabinet that the only way for a President to be relieved of his duties Is by death, resignation or impeachment proceedings. It is not deemed wise for a power to" rise which can fix a state of inability which might result in deposition and vice presidential succession. Although President Garfield was ill from July 2 to Sept. 19, Vice President Arthur did not perform any of the duties devolving on the chief executive. At the same time Mr. Garfield's wounds were from the outset characterized as mortal. Congress was in session and much public business required attention. Authority for Roosevelt's temporary assumption of the presidential duties i3 based on this provision of the Constitution. "In case of the removal of the President from office, or his death, resignation or Inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President." One of the treasury officials in discussing the Anarchists to-day said that this government gave the matter close attention at the time of the assassination of King Humbert. Officers located groups of Anarchists In unexpected places. They were found in Mobile, in New Orleans and in quiet little towns of the middle West and organizations In Eastern cities, where they never had been heard of. The order from Secretary Gage is to locate every Anarchist in the United States. This official said the department might or might not have a suspicion that the shooting was the result of a plot. . That would make no difference with the character of the work. The first thing was to locate all Anarchists, then they could be dealt with according to the nature of the discoveiy. The best information obtainable Is to the effect is that the department does not believe that a plot existed and that Czolgosz acted as an individual. OTTO CAR-MICHAEL. WEIRD, TEARFUL, DRAMATIC. Rainbow-Hued Story Told by a Colorado Hallway Man. DENVER, Col., Sept. 7. A dramatic story of the circumstances attending the reception by Abner McKinley and family In Platte canyon yesterday of the news of the attempted assassination of his brother, the President, was told to-day by C. F. Meek, of the Colorado & Southern, who was in charge of the party's special train. "As the telegram was handed to me," said Mr. Mtek, "there was a terrible flash of lightning, followed directly by a crash that shook the Granite mountains. I glanced at the contents of the telegram, staggered into the car, and called Abner McKinley to one side. Between the crashes of heaven's artillery I read the message. Mr. McKinley put his hand to his head and staggered. With each step, almost, there was a terrific crash from above. We called the rest of the party together and plainly told them the situation. "At first we were speechless tearless. Then came the torrent. From above broke forth astounding masses of water; great sheets of it. The heavens wept with us. There was a rainbow, the like of which few men have even seen. It was an arch of crimson and gold that rivaled a noonday sun. Mrs. McKinley looked at it a moment in mute astonishment. " 'It is the sign from God that He will let our brother live,' was her remark as she fell upon her knees. "With tears streaming from our faces we did likewise, and the prayer that went up certainly must have reached the Father above, for the rainbow grew wider and brighter as we prayed and suddenly flared up as if assenting to our supplications." IX CASE OF DEATH. Charle 31. Schwab Sn Hnnliiens Would Re Affected Temporarily. NEW YORK. Sept. 7.-President Charles M. Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation, in discussing the attack on the President and expressing his sorrow, said: "Should the President die. it would certainly have a most depressing- effect on business and industry. The effect would be but temporary, however, for business is in such shape now, and business men are In such a position, that even the deatli of the President could only cause a temporary calamity. But the crime Itself Is a calamity to the country." .nrroMl) Escaped Lynch Ins:. UPPER SANDUSKY, O.. Sept. 7.

BUFFALO, Sept. 7. The statement of Leon Czolgosz, tho would-be assassin of President McKinley, made to the police, transcribed and signed by the prisoner, follows: "I was bcrn in Detroit nearly twenty-nine years ago. My parents were Russian Poles. They came here forty-one years ago. I got my education in the public schools of Detroit and then went to Cleveland, where I got work. In Cleveland I read books on socialism and met a great many Socialists. I was pretty well known as a Socialist in the West. After being in Cleveland for several years I went to Chicago, where I remained seen months, after which I went to Newburg, on the outskirts of Cleveland, and went to work in the Newburg wire mills. "During the last five years I have had as friends Anarchists in Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and other Western cities, and I suppose I became more or less bitter. Yes, I know I was bitter. I never had much luck at anything and this preyed upon me. It made me morose and envious, but what started the rraze to kill was a lecture I heard some little time ago by Emma Goldman. She was in Cleveland, and I and other Anarchists went to hear her. She set me on fire. Her doctrine that all rulers should be exterminated was what set me to thinking so that my head nearly split with the pain. Miss Goldman's words went right through me, and when I left the lecture I had made up my mind that I would have to do something heroic for the cause I loved. "Eight days ago, while I was in Chicago, I read in a Chicago newspaper of President McKinley's visit to the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. That day I bought a ticket for Buffalo, and got here with the determination to do something, but I didn't know just what. I thought of shooting the President, but I had not formed a plan. I went to live at 107S Broadway, which is a saloon and hotel. John Nowak, a Pole, a sort of politician, who has led his people there tor years, owns it. I told Nowak I came to see the fair. He knew nothing about what was setting me crazy. I went to the exposition grounds a couple of times a day. Not until Tuesday morning did tho resolution to shoot the President take hold of me. It was In my heart; there was no escape for me. I could not have conquered It had my life been at stake. There were thousands of people fh town. I heard it was President's day. All those people seemed bowing to the great ruler. I made up my mind to kill that ruler. I bought a 32-calIber revolver and loaded It. "On Tuesday night I went to the fair grounds and was near the railroad gate when the presidential party arrived. I tried to get near him, but the police forced me back. They forced everybody back so that the great ruler could pas?. I was close to the President when he got Into the grounds, but was afraid to attempt the assassination because there were so many men In the body guard that watched him. I was not afraid of them or that I should gft hurt, but afraid I might be seized and that my chance would be gone forever. Well, he went away that time, and I went home. "On Wednesday I went to the grounds and stood right near the President, riht under him near the stand from which he spoke. I thought half a dozen times of shooting while he was speaking, but I coulil not Ret clcse enough. I was afraid I might mis and the great crowd was jostling, and I tvas afraid lest my aim flü.
