The wounds have entirely clod. They were closed immediately after the operation. There has been no subsequent exploration of the wounds. The presumption is now that the bullet is lodged In the muscles of the back. If it is lodged there It is harmless and there is no need to take it out. The bullet has neither been seen nor felt since It entered the President's body, but, judging from its direction, it is now lodged, as I before paid, in the muscles of the back. There are no signs of the formation of pus. The only object in using the X-rays will be to determine the location and removal of the bullet. If there are no signs of trouble there will be no need of using the X-rays. The President is not being relieved by opiates.

"PltESIUKXT WILL KK COVER." Washington Journalist' Message from HnfTnlo to Ills Paper. Spocial to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The encouraging bulletins from Puffalo throughout the day has had the effect of renewing faith and establishing confidence in the recovery of the President. To-night the confidential assurances to the White House employes were to the effect that the President seemed almost sure of regaining his health quickly. News reports to treasury officials have been equally decisive. The editor of the Washington Post, Scott C. lione, a conservative and cautious man, vith confidential relations with many members of the President's family, advises his paper that the "l't will recover." It is noteworthy thnt tHk .,.. . . f ..... . . . wc,i mr Ute ui uueeiiaimy and ureau which was the undertone of expression la5t evening has ntirely disappeared. So great is the fetliug of relief here that o.Mulals readily, cheerfully turn to gossip

of the effect that the President's protracted illness will have on the administrative business of the government. The President, with rapid recovery cannot resume hi3 duties for weeks. He would have been at work on his message in ten days had he not met the murderous wretch, would have been watching with guiding mind the development of the new Cuban government and perfecting of temporary, government for the Philippines. All this Is admitted, but no one for a moment thinks of bothering about it. There is a good deal of rejoicing in government circles among those who have no monetary interest in the stock market, and know very little about it in detail, over the way it stood the shock of the shooting of the President. Washington had heard a good deal of late that prosperity might take wings at any moment, and that probably the bird of prosperity would first get scared by some dreadful shock. It was suggested that this big shock might come with the failure of a big bank, the starting of a general strike or something of that sort. The test to the solidity of present conditions could not have come harder than the striking down of the man for whom the era of prosperity is named. It might well be expected that such a shock would prove disastrous. The fact that it did not reveals great and substantial strength in the general business structure. If anything could have revealed a weakness It would have been the dreadful news from Buffalo. The experts are therefore saying with emphatic certainty that no weakness exists.

NO SIGX OF PERITONITIS. Chances for the President Recovery Improved Yesterday. BUFFALO. Sept. 8. Through this quiet peaceful Sabbath every word that came from the big vine-clad house In Delaware avenue, in which the stricken chief magistrate of the Nation lies battling for life, was reassuring, and to-night the chances of his recovery are so greatly improved that all of those who keep the patient vigil at his bedside feel strongly that his life will be spared. The developments of last night and today were dreaded, but hour after hour passed, and the distinguished patient, struggling there beneath the watchful eye3 of physicians and trained nurses, showed not an unfavorable symptom. Five times during the day the eminent doctors and surgeons assembled for consultation, and each time the verdict was unanimous that what change had occurred was for the better. Not the slightest premonitory symptom of peritonitis appeared, and the fresh hope born with the morning grew stronger and stronger as the day advanced, until toward evening the confidence expressed in the President's recovery seemed almost too sanguine. Dr. Charles McBurney, the famous New York surgeon, who had been summoned in consultation, after a thorough examination, in which he said he found not a single unfavorable symptom, joined In the last afternoon bulletin, which declared that the President's condition was satisfactory to all the physicians present. It is not strange, therefore, that the Vice President, the members of the Cabinet and other distinguished visitors who called came away with lighter hearts and buoyant tread, and gave expression to the most optimistic sentiments. PUBLIC INTEREST. The encouraging news spread over the exposition city - with great rapidity and thousands came in carriages. In street cars and a foot, to learn for themselves of the faith and confidence that existed about the Milburn house. The brightness of the day with its cool, bracing atmosphere, only added to the general cheerfulness and when a score of newsboys darted into the crowd about 6 o'clock shouting. "Extra! The President will live," It was with difficulty that they could suppress the shouts of thanksgiving that rose in their throats. And the newspaper men, many of whom have been at their posts for forty-eight hours continuously, remained steadfastly throughout the day in the little white walled tents across the street from the house where the country's patient lay and flashed Ihe news over land and sea. And yet dtspito all this optimism, the President i by no means out of danger. Not one of his physicians; not one of his advisers who Is admitted to the Inner councils, has the temerity to go so far as to declare that he is. But if he continues to improve lr one moTe day tne danger of peritonitis, which is most dreaded, will have practically disappeared. Yesterday one of the doctors thought forty-eight hours would be the limit of the danger from that source, but his more conservative colleagues believe at least twenty-four hours, possibly thirty-six, from this time, must elapse before the possibility of peritonitis shall have vanished. That disposed of, still other complications may arise. Blood poisoning might set in or an abscess form where the bullet is imbedded in the muscles of the back. X RAYS NOT YET USED. Thus far the ball of the assassin, which is still in the body, gives the physicians no anxiety. But if the slightest inflammation appears In the region of the lead it will be immediately extracted. No difficulty Is anticipated in this regard. One of Edison's best X-ray machines and his most skillful and trusted operator. Dr. H. A. Knolls, arrived to-day. The batteries were charged and the machine is ready for instant use. With it, the physicians say, there is not the slightest doubt that the ball can be located perfectly for an operation. They do not deem it advisable to sap any of the President's strength at this time. All his reserve force is needed now to resist the danger of peritonitis and septic poisoning. Besides, if Inflammation does not set in around the bullet it will soon become encysted. All th' effects of the ether which was administered when the operation was performed on the exposition grounds had disappeared this morning and the President's

UNITED ACTION POSSIBLE POLICE CHIEFS ALL OVER THE WOULD .MAY WORK IX IIARMO.W. Shooting of President SIcKInley Celebrated by -(H) Italian Anarchists at Gufley's Hollovr, Pa. BUFFALO, Sept. S. There is no truth in the report that the members of the Cabinet yesterday discussed the question of the wholesale arrest of Anarchists In different parts of the country, although in an informal way they have naturally talked over the danger from those advocates of the destruction of all governments and the advisability of possible legislation upon the subject. Neither have they canvassed, so far as can be learned, the advisability of a proclamation to foreign countries, concerning the catastrophe. The necessity for such a notification would seem useless, as every government In the world has already taken cognizance of the crime, as is evident from the cables from all parts of the world that have poured in here. The members of th- Cabinet are doing everything in thf ir p wer' to prevent the sensational exploitation of Czolgoez, because he undoubtec!! craves notoriety, and because his fellow-Anarchists throughout the country love it. They do not desire to place any stone in the path of the authorities who are laboring to unravel the plot, if any plot existed, and all the machinery of the government secret service will be used to aid the State authorities in the prosecution of their investigation. But by the direct request of Secretary Root, on behalf of his colleagues, the district attorney and the police will not permit the prisoner to be seen or interviewed, nor will they discuss the methods of the results of their efforts to discover the originators of the plot. All that has leaked out from the jail shows that the prisoner is vain and boastful of his crime and would, If given an opportunity, fill the newspapers with columns of his vaporings. The police continue their precautions for the protection of Leon Czolgocz, assailant of the President, from mob violence. Although there does not seem to be the slightest danger of another demonstration against him, the guards were kept pasted during the night around the police station, where he Is a prisoner, and a reserve force was held subject to immediate call. Loiterers who were found about the station were promptly ordered to move on. Czolgocz still continues to eat well and sleep well, and seems absolutely indifferent to his fate. He makes no inquiries as to the condition of the President and apparently cares nothing as to the outcome of his injuries. Alfonso Stutz, supposed to be a German, thirty-five years of age, has been arrested here. Ho is said to have arrived here within an hour after Czolgocz's arrest and has a room adjoining Nowak's. The fact that he arrived so soon after Czolgocz and was stopping in the same house aroused suspicion, and he was placed under arrest. Superintendent of Police Bull, however, clears Alfonso Stutz of any part in the plot against the life of President McKinley. Discussing his arrest to-day he said: "We are satisfied that Stutz did not even know Czolgocz, and that he had nothing to do with the crime. He arrived here the day Czolgocz did, and roomed near him. We rounded him up with several others whom we believed might have been Implicated. We found a pair of brass knuckles on him, and as that was an offense we held him for it. He was formerly a lieutenant in the German army, and arrived in America by the steamship Deutschland about ten days ago." A member of the firm of Walbridge & Co., it is said, has identified the box which contained the revolver with which Czolgocz shot President McKinley as having the price marks of that firm. It is supposed the weapon was sold on Tuesday last. It is not known whether It was personally purchased by Czolgocz. Only the empty box was found In Czolgocz's bag. Emmu (oldnian Wanted. BUFFALO, Sept. 9. It is reported here that Emma Goldman .was here last Monday, and that she occupied a house a few doors from where Czolgocz lived. Superintendent Bull is said to have asked NewYork to arrest her. New York police are said to be investigating the case at the request of Governor Odell. INU OItM POLICY CRCiED. Police Chiefs Working; to .Suppress Aiiure-hi ni Everywhere. WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-Major Richard Sylvester, as president of the National Association of the Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada, yesterday took a decisive sup looking to the adoption of u uniform policy throughout the world in dealing with anarchists by addressing a letter to the board of directors of the association and requesting their co-operation

of bringing the various heads Of the police departments of the world together In convention. The communication follows: "The National Association of Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada, at the last annual meeting adopted a resolution Inviting the heads of foreign police departments to participate in our annual discussions, and the distressing calamity which this country has recently experienced through the assault by an unknown assassin confirms the belief that the import of the resolution should be impressed on foreign officials, with a view of having such of their number present at our next annual meeting as may be able to attend; this, with the hope that a closer relationship may be established officially and personally, and that there may be an interchange of opinion as to the best methods to be pursued to eliminate from society such organizations and persons as may be evilly disposed towards Institutions of government, and those charged with their conduct. "This is a most vital question, and if the laws are Inadequate to crush such organizations and punish such characters there should be recommendations from a police standpoint which would forever prevent the like in this country and aid the authorities abroad. "I trust the members will give this matter close and careful consideration and offer such suggestions as may aid in accpmplishing the desired end, and that the secretary will be authorized to adopt such measures as will bring about a thorough understanding with our foreign friends and to secure their presence and co-operation. In the meantime there should be active efforts made looking to the eradication of these evils, and information gathered and disseminated through the National Bureau of Criminal Identification with a view of accomplishing such result." This proposition will be acted upon by the directors individually by mail. If the board of directors votes to adopt their executive's views the secretary of the association will be authorized to address a letter to the officials having charge of the police affairs of the European nations requesting their attendance at the convention next year, when it is expected some definite steps will be taken to effectually stamp out or destroy the danger arising from anarchistic plots. The letter to the board of directors was mailed yesterday, and Major Sylvester expects to receive replies within the next week. -- ANARCHISTS WATCHED.

Xone Will He Permitted at Large When the Czar Visits France. PARIS, Sept. 8. To-day brings confirmation that the Buffalo outrage has stirred the police here into action, particularly in relation to the Czar's visit. The minister of the interior has telegraphed severe instructions to the special commissaries in the provinces to exercise the closest vigilance on Anarchists. Special detectives aiso have been dispatched to the industrial centers to aid the police In watching Anarchists and other agitators. Any Anarchist who Is considered dangerous or whose movements are suspicious will be taken into custody. All the commissaries possess portraits and descriptions of the Anarchists known to the international police. Several Italian Anarchists who had been specially shadowed left Paris recently, but all but two of them have been located, and the police expect to unearth them very quickly. A dispatch from Dunkirk received to-day reports that considerable anxiety prevails there and that it is feared that the Buffalo outrage will lead the Czar to postpone or abandon his visit to France. This impression, however, is absolutely unjustified, as proved by the fact that inquiries in Paris indicate that no change in the arrangement of the Czar's visit have even been considered. It is the general feeling that the abandonment of this proposed visit by Emperor Nicholas would bo too obvious a display of the white feather, even if apprehensions of such outrage existed. A telegram from Bergues, near Dunkirk, fays that a man known as an Anarchist arrived there yesterday and is now under surveillance. An indication of the effect which the outrage upon President McKinley has on he minds of the ministry is shown by the facj that an Italian named Romani, who was arrested last week at a suburb of Paris on suspicion of being an Anarchist, but whose honorable character was attested by a number of inhabitants who petitioned for his release, Is still held In prison. M. Alleman, who had interested himself in the prisoner's behalf, received a letter from Premier Waldeck-Itousseau yesterday declaring it was impossible to set the man free, and he will undoubtedly be detained until after the Czar shall have left. LONDON, Sept. 8. The Associated Press learns from Copenhagen to-night that no change is contemplated in the Czar's plans, and that Emperor Nicholas will surely go to France, and it may be also to Paris, Dut it is not yet settled. The chief of the Russian secret police in Paris and in London and a staff of Russian detectives will attend him. He will start for Dantzic at noon on Tuesday. To-day Emperor Nicholas met King Edward at Copenhagen and accompanied him to Fredensborg. A grand banquet was given this evening, at which all the British, Russian and Danish royalties wera present. COL. 31. T. DERRICK'S VIEWS. Assailants of Presidents Shonld He Punished with Death. CLEVELAND, O.. Sept. S.-Col. Myron T. Derrick, one of the President's most intimate friends, arrived here early to-day from Buffalo, having left the Milburn residence about midnight. When I left Buffalo the physicians felt greatly encouraged and all had strong hopes that the President would pull through," ?aid the colonel to the Associated Press correspondent to-day. Referring to the would-be assassin and the Anarchists, Mr. Herrlck said: "In view of the general feeling aroused among the people of the country against Anarchy's as a. result of the shooting of President McKinley, it seems to me the time is most opportune to demand a change in the laws so that any attempt on the life of the chief executive may be punished by death. There is a strong sentimtnt in favor of Congress taking action during the coming session in reference to the matter. "I was told in Buffalo that if President McKinley recovers, his assailant probably cannot be punished by more than seven years' imprisonment under the law. To me this feoms a condition that should bo remedied by national legislation at the earliest possible moment. Once in four years the people of this country elect a President and he immediately becomes a target for every cheap crank looking for notoriety in the country. In my opinion every Anarchist in the United States should be hunted down like a mad dog and confined jut as are lunatics or other dangerous persons." Mr. Herrick said it was due to the authorities of Buffalo to say that they had ! taken every possible precaution to avoid an 1 attack on the President and that no fault I whatever could be attached to the officials ""CONTINUED ON PAGE 2, COLTt7

Remarkable Sermon by Dr. Naylor in the President's Church at Washington.

Statement Made Later that if the Preacher Had Been in Buffalo He Would Have Blown the Would-Be Assassin to Atoms.

PRAYERS IN NUMEROUS CHURCHES

Coupled with Expressions of Sympathy for the Stricken Chief Alagistrate.

Leon Czolgocz's Act Condemned in Vigorous Terms and Measures for Suppression of the Anarchistic Propaganda Demanded.

"WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. "The exigencies of life are audi that no mnn Urins enn count on the continuance of existence for nnr length of time. Among; those exigencies are disease, accident and the bullet of the assassin, such as we have heard of In the past forty hours. That occurrence at IlufTalo indicates that no man is safe from the shaft of death. It Is very lifllcnlt to et away from It, and while I have over been loyal to the lnvr and have ever contended for its strict enforcement, I must say that the affair of 4 o'clock Friday has almost converted me Into an advocnte of lynch law. Snrely there was no occasion, no reason for that dreadful deed, and whether the work of n sane man or a lunatic, there can be no Justification for It." The above extract from the sermon of Dr. II. R. Xaylor, presiding elder of the Washington district, was the only direct reference made In the regular sermon preached to-day at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, which is the church President McKlnely attends when in Washington. The sermon was brief, and the service was converted Into a gathering of sympathy for the President. Of the several prayers, all were supplications for the early restoration to health of the President, of praise for his personality and admonition to Mrs. McKinley to stand firm In this trying time. When the regular service had been concluded the congregation, which was large, transformed Itself into a mass meeting and upon motion of Judge T. II. Anderson, of the District Supreme Court, by a standing vote directed that the following expression of the sense of the congregation be sent to the President: "The board of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church and congregation assembled extend to you and your devoted wife the deepest sympathy and earnestly pray that God In His great mercy may comfort and sustain you and spare your valued and useful life to the church and Nation." The message was signed by all the members of the official board. The adoption of this resolution was followed by remarks by several of the leading members of the church, all filled with sentiments of the depest regret for the Buffalo tragedy and highest praise for the President as a man and a member of their congregation. When the meeting finally adjourned the members of the congregation gathered about the altar, exchanging condolences and regrets. These expressions, however, were not entirely harmonious, for, mingled with the general conversation were remarks in deprecation of Dr. Naylor's reference to the summary punishment of the President's assailant. It was condemned by some a 3 open advocacy of lynch laws. On the other hand there were many who took occasion to express to Dr. Naylor their complete indorsement of his position. He did not for a moment seem disposed to change his attitude. He said to those with whom he spoke: If I bad been there I would, have blown the scoundrel to atoms if I had had a pistol. Dr. Bristol, the pastor of the church. Is in London attending the sess-ions of the Ecumenical Conference. Among those who spoke In the congregational mooting were Judge Anderson, Judi:e A. D. Lynch. Kev. J. I). Croissant and Dr. Naylor. Judce Anderson spoke of the sorrow felt by the congregation, but dpp.cated any sentiment which would seem to lend infiiunce to the summary and sp.edy punishment of the author of the attempt upon the President's life. Notwithstanding the moral i-tnse of the world had lxt.n aroused by the awful crime he was sure, he said, the law would be vindicated, and the national sen.-e of order and justice maintained. He felt, as did others, tnat

it

niL t xta If ever a crime had been committed which deserved summary punishment this one did, but he still contended for orderly conduct and a maintenance of equipoise. Judge Lynch and Dr. Croissant eulogized the President in very high terms, the former declaring that he stood second alone to the Creator. Dr. Croissant saw the finger of God in the tragedy. God," he said, "has something to do In this matter. Something will be accomplished through the assassin's bullet. If the crime results in the abolition of anarchy on American soil our beloved President would have not been shot in vain." This sentiment waa greeted with applause, as were several others In the same vein by this speaker. Mr. Naylor, in his address toJ.heTT iut lint; did not repeat the sentiment which he had expressed In his sermon. He merely remarked In his later address that he was not surprised at the Intensity of feeling on the part of the congregation, for it was universal throughout the Nation. He declared that Czolgocz had been born without conscience and that he was ready for any bloody thing that might turn up. "Hut our mission," he said, "Is not with the dead, but with the living. William McKinley is not dead, nor will he die." Applause. One of the leaders of the church In his prayer asked for mercy for the- assassin, but he coupled his petition with the assertion that he was the smallest being that ever had been created and he expressed the opinion that if he did not find nurcy in heaven he never would secure It uu earth. In all the Episcopal Churches of the city to-night a social prayer telegraphed by Bishop Satterlee, of the Washington diocese, who is now summering at Quogue, Long island, was read in the services. It was as follows: "Almighty God, who art the strong tower to all who put their tru-t In Thee, our only help in time of nod, b.-hold, visit and relieve Thy dck servant. William McKinley, President of the I'nited States. Loolc upon hlrn with the eyes of Thy mercy; comfort him in the extmt of Thy goodness; preserve him from temptation of tha enemy; give him patience in Ins atlUctiun. and in Thy good time restore him to I.ealtU and strength in body and soul to perform the duties of his high office, to the advancement of Thy glory, 'the good of Thy church and the safety and honor and welfare of Thy people, or else give him gr.i so as to take Thy visitation that after thU painful life Is ended he may dwell wltli Thee, In life everlasting. "Hasten the day. we humbly pray Thee, uhen all evil passions waked by the splilt of discontent, covetousr.e.-s and anarchy may be subdued in the inhabitants of the land that our people and th-ir r-ilers may dwell securely and m rvr Theo In h ace aiij in danger, through Je.-u.s Christ, our Lord Amen."
