Gritlin. in addition to referring Mr. McKinley in the prayer for persons Inder aMliction included that of the PreflJenfJ wile and this was the case in mo.-t Jf the churches. The k y of the sermons jiay be gathered by these words used by llr.

In llim lieg the power and strength to heal the Jick. May it be His will to restore to us fur President in life and strength." I The Rev. Howard Agnew Johnston, of fhe Madison-avenue Presbyterian Church, tn a sermon based on Gideon as an Israeliten leader, had this to say of Mr. McKinley: "Thus ho (Gideon) resembles our own Jireat leaders Washington, Jefferson, Jack-
Jon. Lincoln, most conspicuous or an. ana ist, but not least, William McKinley, the aan whose soul Is now hovering between ife and death, the man whose name will o down to posterity indentilled with the movement which has made our Republic nto an empire, though still retaining the orm of republican government." The Rev. Hugh Black, associate pastor .f Free St. George Church, Edinburgh, ieotland. va? in the pulpit of the Fifthit. venue Presbyterian Church to-day. As a Jrelude to his sermon he said: l ieei mat a am called upon to txpress somewhat of Iour feelings and your sympathy and to ead your pravers for President McKinley, vho 13 the victim of such a dastardly ' rime. Though a stranger to your counfry, it is easy for me to do this, since it rieeds no local knowledge of politics, but nerely the expression of the universal aeart of man. As for the deed Itself, the whole civilized world must pronounce ahthorrence not only of the act, but of the Wtestable principles which inspired It. rsorwhere outside of America, moreover will orrow be keener or prayer bo more fervent it nan in Great Britain, w here your President is admired as a man and honored as the head of this great Nation, with whom we are proud to claim kinship." Preceding the prayer for the President .'at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Father Iyer gald: "As you are aware that a great ''calamity has befallen the Nation during .th last few days, in an attempt on the life .Of Its chief executive, and as it is of vital importance that he should again be able to continue an administration which has brought so much of happiness and prosperity to this country, your prayers are requested for his speedy restoration." Father Ducey, of St. Leo's (Roman Catholic) in the course of extended re'marks on the tragedy at Buffalo, said: "God grant that the life of Mr. McKinley may bo spared and that ho may be reetored to health and strength to bring Joy and comfort to his now alilieted family. I earnestly ask this congregation to pray -.fervently to God for his safe recovery. ' , In the invocation that followed, Father Ducey prayed: ".Spare, oh, God; spare thy Fervant, and in the multitude of thy tender mercies, have mercy upon him." 1 To-morrow (Monday) will witness an- ; other session of prayer and pleading.

IfOi Czolgocx's Art Condemned nt an Indignation Meeting. NEW YORK, Sept. 8. An Indignation meeting, attended by about 500 Poles, of which it Is estimated there arc SO.000 in New York city, was held to-day at the I Church of St. Stanislaus, and bitter words ' of denunciation of Czolgocz and his crime : were uttered, while the expression of sympathy for the President and those belongIng to him was warm and universal. Doubt : as to the nationality of the would-be as- : rassin was expressed, and it was decided to " rend a delegate to Cleveland and to To- ' eldo at once to look into hia ancestry and to prove to the American people that he is - not a Pole, but a Russian by descent. That delent will leave New York for the West to-morrow. Deplored at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 8. Four hundred roMsh-Americans gathered In St. Laurentius Roman Catholic Church to-day, passed resolutions deploring the ehootlng of President McKinley, and protested against the statements that the would-be assassin was connected with the Polish people in this country. Among those present were five Polish priests. The resolutions, after regretting the attempted murder, continue as follows: "Resolved, That we, as Roman Catholic Polish citizens of the United States, protest most energetically against the insinuations of the English newspapers, as if the Anarchist who raised his sacrellglous hand against the highest authority ot the great Kepubllc had any connection with the Polish people residing in these States. The would-be assassin is a Hebrew by birth, but professes to be an agnostic or an atheist. The Polish nation can boast of never having produced a man who would stain Its reputation by attacking a lawful authority because imbued by Christian principles. It is well aware that all lawful authority comes from God, and that it must be respected." Separate telegrams of sympathy were pent to both the President and Mrs. McKinley. They were signed by Joseph Slomkowk!, chairman of the meeting, and John WEATHER FORECAST. Fair To-llay nnd To-Morrotr-Warmcr In Northern Indiana.

Xo Concern to Socialist. CHICAGO, Sept. S. Two thousand members of the Socialist party voted down .1 resolution of regret for the attempted assassination of the President at a meeting in Bergman's Grove. Riverside, to-day. The arsrument of tho.-.- opposed to the resolution was that McKinley ia the representative of the capitalist class and that his safety or danmr are matters of no concern to Socialists. MIST II H STAIIi:il OtT. Chieaso lltvinen I rt- the I'rudlention of Annrchim. CHICAGO, Sept. S. In every pulpit in Chicago to-day denunciation of anarchy and its followers was the theme of the morning: sermon. The indignation and horror of the people at the attempt on the President's life seemed to have frozen even Christian charity, for the prayers for the Fpeedy recovery of the chief executive were followed by stirring demands in sermons that anarchy be stamped out so effectually that not a vestige be left. At the First Kaptist Church Rev. P. S. Ilenson excoriated the men who sought with the assassin's knife or bullet to rolve social wronps. In tears but a few moments before when the clergyman was pleading fervently that the President's life might be spared, tho great congregation sat immovable when he raised his clinched hands to heaven and declared that Anarchists should be driven like dogs from hole to hole, deprived of free speech and hunted down like ild beasts. At Oak Park the First Congregational Church was crowded when Kev. W. i-i. Darton began his sermon. He said that Anarchists, by the nature of their beliefs, should not be regarded as citizens of the United States, but that they should be looked upon as foes and treated as such. In all other churches the clergymen preached along the same lines. In no place of worship was heard a single word in extenuation of the would-be assassin's act. In every sermon denunciation of anarchy and its believers was the rule. Denunciation of the assailant of President McKinley and of -the doctrines which advocated like de .is, coupled with a eulogy of the wounded President, were expressed in a lecture by the Itev. Thomas Sherman, S. J., at the Holy Family Church, following the reports of the attempted assassination. Father Sherman, who ix the son of Gen. William T. Sherman, since his childhood days, has been an intimate friend of the McKinley family. "The American people must arouse themselves and crush out of existence the principles ami the men who have contributed to this, our nat'onal calamity," he said, "it Is not the movement so much as tho doctrines that should be remorselessly crushed out, and b-ath is tho fitting penalty for thoe who teach them or incite similar acts." "The ward anarchist should be made synonymous with the word criminal." The Itev. Johnston Myers declared; "Let us have legislation at once that will make it impossible for these murderers at heart to have their liberty." "From this day forward let us suffer no man to disolay the red flag of anarchy within our borders," said the Kev. H. Atwood Percival. "Deport every one of them to some penal colony and keep them there until the last of the accursed race is dead." "This crime must be charged to those lectures and books that made the assassin an Anarchist," naid the Kev. Joseph A. Vance. It is self-destructive to our Nation to allow this schooling of Anarchists to go on." "Anarchistic teachings have no place in a free coveniment." said the Kev. Henry Irving Rasmus. "Swift as public opinion can wield its sword the head of this foreign eerpent should be severed from its vile and hateful body." "If the law Is not adequate to deal with anarchy, make It eo, and then let there be no delays or miscarriages of justice," was tho view of Kev. John T. Christian. Bulletins Head In Xova Seotfn. HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. S.-In the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches of this city touching references were made by the officiating clergymen to the attempt on the lifo of President McKinley and prayers of the congregations wcro asked for his speedy recovery. Archbishop O'Hrien, in speaking at St. Mary's Cathedral, said: "In common with the whole civilized world, wo are shocked at the news of the attempt on the life of President McKinley, and the way in which we can best ehow our uympathv for him and the people of the Republic is by praying for his temporal and spiritual welfare and good." At the conclusion of his discourse he asked the congregation to fray for the recovery of the wounded 'resident. From the pulpits of several churches bulletins were read telling of Mr. McKinley's condition. Action nt St. Lonln. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 8. At a meeting of the Irish Nationalists of St. Louis to-day resolutions of sympathy for. the Resident and denunciation of the assassin's act were adopted. Prayers for President McKinley were said to-day in churches of all denominations, and many clergymen alluded from the pulpit to the Anarchist's deed, declaring it to have been a thrust at the government. God's blessing was albo invoked on the surgeons at the President's bedside. Episcopalian to Pray. CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 8. Bishop Leonard has ordered prayers for the President. The pastoral refers to the assault on the President and urges that the prayers for the edek be said dally during the President's illness. Roman Catholic Bishop Horstmann, who was at Lima to-day, spoke of th horrible attempt on the President's life, and prayed for God's mercy on the chief magistrate. l'rnyera. and Resolutions. QUEBEC, Sept. 8.-Ministers and priests of this city to-day offered prayers for the recovery of President McKinley and paid befitting tributes to his character as a man and executive.

S. Five men were killed and six others seriously Injured, two of whom have since died, in a collision which occurred early to-day. A mixed train on the Northern -Pacific Railroad came in from Oakes, carrying seventeen men on, a flat car. As the train pased the station a road engine was struck, and the force of the collision caused the flat car to collapse. The names of the dead and Injured could not be learned. They were harvest hands, who had boarded the car at Lamoure. The 'Palm Leaf" Dcnlii. Doston Herald.

PRESIDENT IMPROVING.
(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) mind was perfectly clear during the time he was awake to-day. To-day, for the first time, ho enjoyed natural sleep. While he was still more or les under the influence of the anesthetic his slumber was restless and disturbed and did him little real good. To-day, between 9 and 4 o'clock, he had the solace of natural slumber for about four hours, and the physicians stated unofficially that his sleep had been "quiet and reposeful" and had helped the sufferer a great deal. To-day, also for the first time, nourishment was administered. It was in liquid form and was Injected hypodcrmically to avoid the possibility of irritating the walls of the stomach. The exterior wound was dressed this morning and is progressing satisfactorily. FRIENDS ALL JUBILANT. All day the members of the Cabinet and others associated with the President in public life came solicitously and went away almost jubilantly, all reflecting the hopeful outlook at the Milburn house. Vice President Roosevelt received the earlier bulletins, and after going to church hurried to the residence. There he was joined by Senator Hanna. They came away together and gave expression to the most confident and encouraging sentiments. The Vice President not only shared the cheerful feeling, but was extremely optimistic. Both gentlemen took occasion to denounce in unmeasured terms the statements gaining circulation in some quarters that the doctors were not frank in their communications to 'the public. They maintained that the President's favorable condition was even understated by the physicians, through motives of conservatism, during the seventy-two-hour period. Later Secretary Cortelyou took occasion to emphasize this very point by issuing an official statement assuring the public of the complete trustworthiness of the bulletins sent out by the physicians. Senator Ilanna camo again during the afternoon, and was seldom far removed from the Milburn house. Secretary Root has taken up quarters Immediately next door, and was in frequent consultation with those inside. He and Secretary Gage, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox called together about noon, and, Indeed, there was no time during the day when t;ome member of the Cabinet was not in tho house where his stricken chief lay. Even those most prominent in public life did not see him, as the doctors would not relax the iron-clad rule they have laid down to prevent the least drain upon his energies and vitality. Those w'ho came - ajid went moved silently and reverently, receiving the latest statements from the doctors and departing. HAY AND LONG ALONE ABSENT. All the members of the Cabinet are now here except Secretaries Hay and Long. The former telegraphed to-day that he would t-tart from Newberry to-morrow probably in time to be here to-morrow night. Secretary Long also telegraphed that he was coming, but did not specify the time. The Cabinet officers feel it to be their duty to be here in this crisis to meet any emergency. They are holding no formal meetings, although there are some matters of public business which they daily discuss informally and the possible contingencies should the President grow worse are also thoroughly canvassed. They do not believe that there is the most remote possibility that Vice President Roosevelt will be called upon to exercise the functions of chief magistrate under the disability clause of the Constitution while the President lives. The Vice President would not hear of such a course. Still in tho event of grave international complications an emergency might occur nnd the question has arisen in their minds as to who should proclaim the disability provided for by the Constitution. That Instrument is silent on the subject. There is no precedent to follow. During the protracted illness of President Garfield before his death Vice President Arthur was not cailed upon to act. The consensus of opinion among the members of the Cabinet is that should the occasion arise they themselves would have to decide and proclaim the existence of the disability. The Supreme Court, they say, could not do so as there would be no way in which the question could be raised before that tribunal. The members of tho Cabinet are making their headquarters at the Buffalo Club and there their interchanges take place. They are to remain here for the present and the plans of departure are Indefinite and not even thought of while the President is not entirely out of danger. If he should pass the danger point, however, they will return at once to Washington. The interest In the President's condition was such across the Canadian border that the Associated Press was asked to furnish a bulletin this morning to be read in the churches in Quebec and Montreal, and many requests of similar character came direct to Secretary Cortelyou from different parts of the United States. Mrs. McKinley continues to bear up bravely and her fortitude under the circumstances is regarded us remarkable. One of her dearest and closest friends, Mrs. Rand, of Washington, has arrived here and will probably remain with her during this trying period. Secretary Corteiyou. in whose hands the management of everything seems to be, was able to take some rest this morning for the first time since the tragedy. The great confidence which the President has in hi secretary could not have been more strikingly Illustrated than at the Exposition Hospital, when he was about to be placed upon the operating table. The President realized that the sooner the operation was p rformed the better and he was perfectly willing to submit himself to the knife. His only solicitude was as to the competency of the surgeons who were to perform the operation. Just before he was placed upon the table he called Secretary Cortelyou to him and asked him whether the surgeons were all right. Mr. Cortelyou assured him that he had made inquiries and that they were reputed to be among the most skilful In their profession. The President accepted the assurance instantly and immediately announced that lie was ready. Aimer McKinley ut the Itedftide. BUFFALO.

Jsceiic About the 1 11 burn llr uhlencp Tlit Siircfniis' Hulletln. BUFFALO. N. Y., Sept. The scene about the Milburn residence this morning calm and peaceful. The Sabbath had iawnd with a blazing sun and a cool northwest wind. About the adjoining
streets the soldier guards with fixed bayoent paced their beats, and opposite on the vacant lot where four tents have been erected for the use of the newspaper men and the telegraph companies, a group of reporters, with an attendant throng of messenger boys, talked in suppressed tone. At the residence, except for a solitary policeman at the main entrance, there was no sign of life until 8 o'clock, when General Carrington, of Massachusetts, arrived to inquire of the President's condition. Soon afterward Drs. Parke, Wasdin and Mann arrived for the morning consultation. Then twenty-seven men of the Fourteenth Infantry, with two sergeants and two corporals under the command of Second Lieutenant Hamilton, marched up to relieve the night detail. While the physicians were in consultation Elmor Dover, Senator Hanna's private secretary, appeared with a message from the senator, asking for news. Dr. Rixey sent him a very encouraging message to the effect that the President had had a very good night, and that none of the unfavorable symptoms dreaded so much, had appeared. At 9 o'clock the doctors issued this bulletin: "The President passed a good night and his condition this morning is quite encouraging. His mind is clear and he is resting well. Wound dressed at and found in a very satisfactory condition. There is no indication of peritonitis. Pulse, 132; temperature, 102.S; respiration, 21. "P. M. 1UXEY, "M. D. jhANN, "HOSW'KLL PARK. "HERMAN M Y NT ER, "EUGENE WASDIN, "GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. "Secretary to the President." It was by far the most encouraging statement which had yet emerged from the sick room, and the face of tho attendant who brought it across to the newspaper tent fairly beamed as he handed it to the reporters. "It is good news," said he. Eagerly it was scanned and its confident tone aroused high hopes. DOUBTS DISPELLED. The fact that the physicans had officially proclaimed that there were no indications of peritonitis dispelled any misgiving that may have been harbored that perhaps the physicians were concealing something. Mr. Milburn later still further Increased the cheerful feeling by a personal statement to the effect that the physicians were greatly encouraged as a result of this consultation. His manner and his smiling, happy countenance bespoke the joy which he unmistakably felt. Before 9:30 silent crowds had congregated at the ropes far down the intersecting streets. Inquiries for news from the sickroom were made in whispers, as If the least audible sound might disturb the country's patient a third of a mile away. The reassuring report that there had been no change for the worse and that the doctors were encouraged, was received with many manifestations of jor- Faces brightened and there was much thanksgiving. The majority of the inquirer?, after receiving the cheering news, turned back Into the heart of the city to carry the glad tidings to their homes, but many remained at the ropes taking up their positions as if they intended to remain there for the remainder of the day. A few who could furnish a reasonable pretext are allowed to pass the first line of sentries to the second rope, a block from the Milburn residence, and by 10 o'clock several hundred people were at the inner lines on either side. At 10 o'clock Dr. H. A. Knoll, who brought the X-ray machine from New Y'ork, reached the Milburn residence and reported that the machine had arrived. It will be brought to the house at once, but it is understood that the physicians will not make use of it for the present unless Eigns of inflammation appear in the locality where the bullet is supposed to have lodged. If inflammation does not appear It will show that the bullet has become encysted and its extraction can wait until all danger of peritonitis or septic poisoning is passed. Mrs. McKinley passed a comfortable night, and shows no sign of breaking down. The whole atmosphere about the Milburn residence is perceptibly brighter. DR. M'BURNEY ARRIVES. The X-ray machine arrived shortly after 10 o'clock and a few minutes afterward Dr. Charles McBurney, the famous New York surgeon, drove hastily up to the Milburn residence. Secretary Cortelyou and Mr. Milburn had met him at the station. Dr. McBurney was at Stockbridge, Conn., when the summons to come to Buffalo reached him and he came direct from there. It Is explained that Dr. McBurney' appearance in the case has no immediate significance and docs not in any way reflect upon the attending physicians. It was simply desired that the best talent in the country in medicine and surgery should be present in order that in the event of a fatal termination of the President's wound, there could bo no criticism and hi3 family and friends would have nothing with which to reproach themselves. Dr. McBurney is considered one of the leading surgeons of the country and his reputation is world-wide. His counsel is desired, although the President's advisers have the fullest confidence in Dr. Park, who also enjoys the highest reputation as a surgeon. Indeed he is considered by far the ablest surgeon in this part of the State. The President, who was free from pain for the first few hours after the shooting, has suffered considerably since and when unconscious or semi-conscious moans as if in agony. When completely conscious, however, he bravely gives no sign of suffering. Major and Mrs. Rand, who are intimate friends of the President and Mrs. McKinley, reached Buffalo this morning from "Washington and went Immediately to the Milburn residence. Mrs. Rand is one of Mrs. McKinley's closest personal friends and her presence with the President's wife during this trying period will be, it is believed, a great comfort to the latter. Secretary Wilson, Secretary Proctor, of Vermont, and Major General Brooke were admitted to the Milburn residence about 11 o'clock and appeared greatly encouraged by the news they received. Secretary Cortelyou sauntered over to the newspaper reservation about 11:30 and when questioned stated emphatically that he felt much relieved that no unfavorable symptoms had appeared. He said the bulletin issued this morning was without doubt the most favorable yet issued. Secretary Gage and Secretary Root arrived at the Milburn residence at 11:40 and were received in the drawing-room by Secretary Cortelyou. Secretary Root was accompanied by his physician. Dr. Dixon, who came to Buffalo with him from Southampton. Senator Fairbanks left the Milburn house at 12:40 p. m. full of hope. He said the physicians felt certain and confident of the President's recovery. NO UNFAVORABLE SYMPTOM. Dr. McBurney, after a thorough examination of the President, reported that he had not found a single unfavorable symptom. There was not the slightest indication of peritonitis. This opinion of the famous physician carries much weight. - A local physician, a specialist with whom Dr. I'ark has consulted, told Representative Alexander that Dr. Park was exceedingly hopeful. Ho said to Mr. Alexander. T feel certain the President will get well. ThU i not lvd, but 1901, and great strides have been made In surgery In the last twenty years." The following bulletin was issued by the President's physicians at 12 o'clock, noon: "The Improvement in the President's condition has continued since last bulletin.
Pulse, 12S: temperature, 101 degrees; respiration, 27. Dr. McBurney is here, and will meet the President's physicians In consultation at 3 o'clock." Senator Fairbanks and Senator Hanna arrived just before the noon bulletin was issued, and joined the distinguished company gathered below stairs In the drawing room. All were overjoyed when the good news came down from the sick room. The lower temperature and decreased rapidity cf pul.-e were particularly gratifying, and increased the hope that the crisis would be safely passed. Vice President Roosevelt arrived at the residence at 12:43 p. m. He walked over from the First Presbyterian Church, on Pennsylvania street, where he attended services thiss morning. He was accompanied by Ansley Wilcox, whose guest he is. Representative Alexander and Judge Albert Haight entered immediately after th Vice President. The sermon at the First Presbyterian Church, where Vice President Roosevelt was in attendance, made frequent reference to the calamity which had fallen upon the Nation. At its close the pastor. Dr. S. S. Mitchell, delivered a fervent prayer, in the course of which he said: "Unite, O God, the hearts of all lovers of righteousness In sternest reprobation of the anarchistic fury of reprobate lives, and whip from the temples of public life men who are willing to temporize with this madness in city and state." After a hymn the entire congregation united in singing the national anthem. Shortly after 1 o'clock Vice President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna left the house. They stopped on the corner to tell the newspaper men of the high hopes they had for the President's recovery. The Vice President said with great emphasis that he felt satisfied of the President's recovery, and Senator Hanna interjected the statement that the President's condition, considering the circumstances, could not be more favorable. Complications might arise, said the senator, but there were no indications of them up to the present time. Senator Hanna then spoke of the newspaper statements that the reports of the physicians were being colored and did not show the President's true condition. "It is outrageous that such stories should bo circulated," said he. "The physicians are giving the facts to the public." . At this point Vice President Roosevelt with great earnestness, laid his hand upon the senator's arm. SCRUPULOUS UNDERSTATEMENT. "Senator, let me put it this way," he said; "the doctors bulletins are made with a scrupulous understatement of the favorableness of conditions; a scrupulous understatement," he repeated emphatically, adding emphasis with his uplifted gloves. "That expresses it well," said Senator Hanna. "Yes," continued Mr. Roosevelt, "if anything the doctors understate the hopefulness of the situation." Mr. Hanna again assented to this statement. He added that it took from fortyeight to seventy-two hours for conclusions to be reached of any absolutely conclusive character and no physicians, pending such a period, would state absolutely final conclusions. But for the present the doctors were inspired by the increased effort to give the best judgment which medical science could render. As Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna turned to their carriage an attempt was made to photograph the Vice President, but he turned away hurriedly with a "No. no," Indicating that it was not a time for such fecenes. Robert T. Lincoln, son of President Lincoln and former secretary of war, came from the Milburn house soon after Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna retired. Mr. Lincoln expressed the same hopeful view of the situation and regarded the condition of the patient as altogether 'favorable. Shortly after the departure oNVice President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna, Secretary Gage, Secretary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox emerged and walked down Delaware avenue together. All of them shared in the cheerful feeling' which prevailed at the Milburn house. "The President is not only doing well," said the attorney general, "but he gives promise of doing better." Each of these members of the Cablnent was exceedingly optimistic, although admitting the possibility and danger of future complications.
Secretary Gage said that if another day passed without an indication of peritonitis, the physicians felt that the danger from that source would be over. If the suppuration should appear in the neighborhood of the bullet later, they seemed to feel that no difficulty would be experienced in removing it. The members of the Cabinet will remain here until the issue of the President's illness is definitely determined. If the physicians pronounce him out of danger they will return at once to Washington, where they can be together and In frequent consultation if necessity arises. MAY BE TAKEN TO CANTON. There has yet been little discussion of .the place to which President McKinley will be removed 'n the event of his convalescence. The prevailing impression seems to be that if he could be removed shortly he will be taken to Canton instead of Washington. But if his convalescence were delayed until cooler weather set in, he probably would be taken to the White House. The opinion of the physicians would probably govern, however. Secretary Hay was heard from this morning from Newbury, N. 11. A telegram coming to Chief Clerk Michaels, of the State Department, who is here, stated that the secretary would leave for Buffalo to-morrow morning. It is expected he will be able to reach here late Monday night. When he arrives there will Le a full representation of the Cabinet with the exception of Secretary Long. On the arrival of Mr. Hay answers will be formed to many messages of condolence which have come from crowned heads and rulers throughout the world. These messages continue to arrive, one of them being a deeply sympathetic messapo from President Diaz, of Mexico. All of the foreign representatives who have been here have now departed for Washington, the Japanese minister, Mr. Takahira, being the last to leave this morning. At 2:20 this afternoon Mrs. McKinley went out for a drive. A closed carriage drove up to the side entrance. Mrs. McKinley was assisted into the carriage by Secretary Cortelyou. Mrs. Lafayette MeW'illlams, of Chicago, accompanied her. They drove out Delaware avenue toward the park. Mrs. McKinley returned at 3:20. having been out in the sunshine for about an hour. She seemed refreshed, and it needed but slight assistance from Mr. Milburn to aid her in alighting. The batteries of th X-ray machine were charged early this atternoon, and the machine is ready for instant use. According to all the information obtainable, however, It will not be employed for the present unless the bullet in the muscles of the President's back grows troublesome. Postmaster Genernl Smith, accompanied by ex-Postmaster General Bissell, of this city, and Senator Hanna, called shortly after C o'clock. The two former remained only a short time. When they left Postmaster General Smith expressed great confidence in the President's ability to pull through. He said there had been no unfavorable symptoms, and that in another twenty-four hours the physicians believed the danger of peritonitis would be passed. John Scntcherd. a member of the executive committee of the exposition, announced that all bulletins of the President's condition would be posted hereafter nt stipulated buildings In the exposition grounds. The physicians were in consultation again at 3:30 o'clock. Afterwards they Issued a bulletin saying that the President's condition was satisfactory to all physicians, including Dr. McBurney. The President had slept four hours since 9 o'clock. His pulse was lower and his temperature was 101. MR. HANNA OPTIMISTIC. Major General Brooke, In command of military forces here, and Senator Hanna came away from the Milburn house at 5 o'clock. Senator Hanna said of the 4 o'clock bulletin: "I want to be conserva tive, but this bulletin simply adds to my encouragement. If this continues twentyfour hours longer I think we will have something very satisfactory from the physicians and as definite as human agency can devise. Those four hours of restful sleep the President has had is an evidence of almost normal conditions. Ills mind Is clear and his disposition cheerful." Senator Hanna sent telegrams to his friends in different parts of the country who had appealed to him for news, saying that the conditions could ifot be more favorable. He. however, refrained from expressing the detinlte opinion that the President would recover, although by his manner h indicated his confidence in the outcome. After 5 o'clock there was a period of comparative quiet about the Milburn house. The members of the Cabinet and other distinguished officials who had been coming and going throughout the day withdrew, as it was understood that no further bulletin would be issued until 9 p. m. As the twilight deepened into daikncss the lights appeared in the upper chambers of the Milburn house and the eyes of the watchers outside were turned with anxious interest to these shimmering tokens of the watch in and about the sick room. Ail throush the dark great crowds had gathered on the streets converging at the Milburn house. But as darkness came they gradually disappeared. A steady line
of men and women came up to the rops to make anxious inquiries. Shortly before 8 o'clock Vice President Roosevelt, accompanied bv Mr. Wilcox, of Buffalo, called at the Milburn residence and remained for a short time in conversation with Secretary Cortleyou and those rear the President. There was little additional information to give them beyond the 4 o'clock bulletin, and they came away with the same hopeful nd contident expresions as those earlier In the day.
CONSTITUTION VAtit'K. 'o Deri ii lie Provision for Sncfftor hip When President ! Disabled. BUFFALO. Sept. 8. Should occasion arise, a contingency only considered a very remote possibility, for the Vice President to discharge the duties of President during the latter's disability, the Cabinet would have to determine and proclaim tr?fc necessity for such a courte. The present situation has called prominently to the attention of the members of the Cabinet and of other distinguished statesmen and publicists who are gathering here of the vagueness of the Constitution upon this point. It contains no word or direction as to who shall determine the existence of the tilsability which would render It Incumbent upon "the Vice President to act, but it appears to be the general opinion that the Cabinet is the only body which could proclaim the disability within the meaning of the Constitution. It is considered probable that the haziness of the Constitution upon this point will lead to agitation for an enactment, and. If necessary, for a constitutional amendment, to define exactly what shall constitute disability of the President and to provide for the temporary cxerci-e of the functions of chief magistrate by the Vice President. Mit Ida Barber Return Home. CANTON. O., Sept. fc. Miss Ida Barber. Mrs. McKinley's niece, who was a member of the President's party to the exposition returned to-night. She said the conditions were favorable and those about the President were hopeful when she left Buffalo. Miss Mary Barber, her sister, is expected here later, and her brother. John Barber, will probably arrive to-morrow. MEDICAL TERMS l SEI). Explanations for the Laity ' In Connection with the McKinley Case. The following medical terms are made clear to the lay mind because of the frequent use being made of them by the physicians In attendance on the President: Septicaemia or Septic Poisoning. An Internal condition produced in this case by a wound and resulting in possible blood poisoning. In every wound substances are produced which are absorbed into the blood, and which, when sufficiently active, manifest their action by high fever and general disturbance of the constitution. Blood poisoning, usually developing, if at all, three or four days after a wound is received, generally ends fatally. The term septic poisoning indicates absence of abscesses; pyaemia indicates the presence of abscesses. In the septic form the temperature may reach lCtt or more and the fever be fermentative. In pyaemia blood clots form. The substances developing from blood poisoning may be micro-organisms capable of multiplying in the blood, or they may be chemical substances, which are produced by the bacteria or by degenerative processes. When blood poisoning has developed, its duration until death comes depends largely cm the constitution of the patient and his condition at the time of injury. The character of his medical attendance has also much to do with his chances for surviving. Peritonitis. Inflammation of the peritoneum, a membrane covering the viscera of the abdomen. The popular designation is "inflammation of the bowels." What is called traumatic peritonitis is the result of wounds, bruises or surgical operations. When peritonitis is acutely developed, from three to live days after the injury, there is painful breathing, great abdominal pain and great suffering. Peritonitis often re sults from wounds owing to either imperfect surgical attendance or introduction by the wound of foreign substances into the system. High temperature follows and a quickened pulse. When the pulse is about 130 to 140 in the case of a patient it is supposed to indicate peritonitis symptoms. When it reaches 1 and 1H) death generally follows. Encysted. Inclosed in a cyst or membranous sac containing ' fluid which Is formed around a hard or foreign body in the tissue. Suppuration. The formation of pus or maceration of a wound. CZOLGOCZ IS SAFE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE." as a result of the shooting. Mr. Ilerrick will return to Buffalo to-night. HAX OX IXCENIMAHISM. Ilndlcnl Vtternnees of Cliicngo Anarohl.its to lie Stopped. CHICAGO, Sept. 8. There will be no more revolutionary speeches in public in Chicago if the police can prevent them. The edict has gone forth from Mayor Harrison and Superintendent of Police O'Neill that such utterances must be stopped, and the latter has sent special orders to the commanding officers of the various districts to detail men to be in attendance at all meetings that arc supposed to be of anarchistic origin and to arrest the speakers if violent language is used. Chief O'Neill's order is the result of a conference that he had with Mayor Harrison last night. Information to the effect that Leon Czolgocz, the Buffalo assassin, received part of his anarchistic education in Chicago and that he was one of those who attended the meetings at which Emma Goldman and other Anarchist leaders spoke In this city, coupled with the experience of the mayor's own family, led Mr. Harrison to decide on drastic measures in dealing with the radicals. Chief O'Neill was directed to get the name's ot all the outspoken Anarchists now in the city and to ascertain to what extent their movement has progressed during the past three or four years. From this time on Anarchists will have to be temperate In the language they use in this city if they do not wish to be thrown into jail. CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY. EleTen Anarchlnta Who Are Relieved to Have Plotted with Czolfrocz. CHICAGO, Sept. 8. If any further proof were needed that Leon Czolgocz was the guest of Chicago Anarchists shortly before he went to Buffalo on his murderous mission against President McKinley, It was supplied to-day by three of the prisoners in the Central police station. They identified a photograph of the murderous "red"' as a picture of a man whom they saw at the home of Abraham Isaak, No. ZZ Carroll avenue, not longer ago than July 12. The eleven men and women, who are avowed Anarchists, were booked to-night on the charge of conspiracy to commit murder. They will be taken before Justice Prindlville to-morrow morning for a hearing. It is settled practically that the prosecution will ask for a continuance of ten days, that the police may have more time for an Investigation. This much was intimated to-night by Captain Colleran. T am not prepared to say that a conspiracy to kill President McKinley was formed in Chicago," he said. "The evidence in our possession has been turned over to the law department, and, while we are ready to begin the hearing to-morrow, it is possible that the city prosecutor may want more time. In that event we will ask for a continuance." ITALIANS C EI. I Ml It A 1'E. Aliened tu llne Rejoiced (lfr the Shooting; of McKIulej. M'K EESPORT. Pa.. Sept.
