As the evening shadows were falling last night John (i. Milbiim, president ot tne Pnii-Aiuirlriin exposition, reverently ut tered these words ns he stood before the houso ill which the nation's patient was fighting so bravely with death. And all who have lioeu at the Milbiirn residence reflect the view that tlie buttle will be won and the prayers of the world will be answered. SiMC Sunday night not an unfavorable S) niptoin bus appeared, fcvery hour lias been a victory.

And the basis for the connclcnc-: that Is expressed is solid. There has lieon nothing hut improve ment, giadual and slow, nut sieuuy im provement. Kvery hullelin. every pnvnu- mi d c won or tne piiysicinns io title uclunc-e breathes encouragement.

If the president con tiiuies to improve for n week," he con- tnued. "we niiiy safely say that he is convalescent. It will probably be three weeks In-fore it will be safe to move hin:. We must wait until the outer wound is healed and strong. The inner wounds through the stomach proper will be strong before the exlerior wound is. How lo.i it will lie before he will lie able to sit lip will depend upon the rapidity of his im provement and I may sny to yon fnrthtr thnt his improvement, if It coutmucs, promise to be rapid." Dr. McBurney was asked to compare the Ciiirfield case anil its treatment with .bat of President MeKiuley. He smiled as he replied that to do so would be to give the whole history of the progress ot surgery dining the last twenty years. "Besides" said he, "tlie cases are utterly different, tiarfield's wound was an ex tremely unfortunate one in every way. It was difficult to handle. It was impos sible to get at Ihe bullet, while the wound of President MeKiuley is ill many re spects a lucky one. No comparison is possible." Turning to the correspondent Dr. Mc Burney sail: "Y'ou can assure your clientele tbn; all goes well. The presi dent's condition could hardly be more satisfactory. Furthermore, you can im press mid emphasize the fact that the bulletins issued state the truth." Dr. Mann said the president was not out of danger. He said that some nour ishment hud been administered yesterday through the rectum and he had taken water in Ihe slomnch. It was found that cold water did not agree with him and instead water as hot as the president can bear it is now being administered. The president's bowels moved freely yes terday anil this is considered an ex cellent symptom. Need Not Worry About llullet. Dr. P. M. IHxey, one of the president's attendant physicians and also the private IU -II, " J i vx 1 " yyXL ; TIONESTA Physician of the president and Mrs. mc Kinley. said Inst night regarding the uiMiiugiiiHueii pnnt'iii: 'I mil not n hi uilist in nlHlomlnnl surgery, but from a general knowledge of KU'ikIioI wound I enn sny thiit the only possibility i'f coinplii'ntion is by blood poisoning or peritonitis, nud thnt I con sider Isilh now a very remote piidmliility.

There-is not the slightest ctldt uce of IiIihhI poisoning As to the bullet not yet extruded I do not believe we m-ed worry iiliont that. Hie presumption is that it is lodged somewhere in the muscles of the bncK. lVrsniiitf il nt urill courses it would now be encrusted and cut off from possible Incur'.. There will lie no nttcmpt to extract ihe bullet at present. I see no reason why the president will not recover rapidly." lri-itliit I C'heftrriil. .The president himself has been cheer ful all day and lias expressed confidence iu his recovery. Yesterday he asked for morning paper but this, of course, had to be denied him. It is with some dilll cully that he can be restrained from talk ing. Colonel Myron T. llerriek of Cleve land Is quoted as authority for the state ment that be has spoken at intervals of seeral things he propose to do ill the future. Yesterday morning he nsked to be nl- lowed to move his position mid when permission was given, before he attend ants cuiild move him, he elianged to the position he desired to assume without dilllculty or pain. This speaks much for his g iicrnl strength and spirits. Mrs. MeKiuley saw him again yesterday for a brief visit and Secretary lorteljou was admitted for the first time. No one Ise was allowed to see lit ill. though he ll.qnlred several times who were below stalls. He was given nourishment yes terday in the form of eggs Is'iiten in milk. administered thiough the rectum. 1 lie water which has 1rvi given heretofore cold did not appear to agree with him, and very hot water has been taken into the stomach through the month with splendid results. If he continues to improve it will nc gradually. If he should grow worse the chuii-e lu that direction will nlso prob ably he slow. Tills is the opiiii i.i of Dr. Monn. There will be no ci-hh. I he arrives at convalescence Ir. Park ex presses the opinion that it will l'- three weeks before It will be safe to mo.'e liini- It Is expected that the interior wounds will heal tirst. The sutures of tho la erated tissue were made so soon after the bullet passed that they are proliubly he.'l- ing rapidly. Ith the exteri-ir wound it is a slower process. The extreme optimism of the vice pres ident and the members of the cabinet Wdidd be difficult to overstate I am absolutely confident everything will turn out all right." declared iu wee pri rid lit. and he said he based his con fidei-ce on information behind the public rxpriFsions of the physicians. So re lieved are Secretary tiage and Attorney (icncral Knox at the steady inipiove iient that they returned to Washington hist night feeling strongly that th-ir chief would recover but with the assurance of the physieinns that if a change for the worse should come it would be gradual, an ) that they would have amiiV lime to rt-tiin.. In the case of Sccre'.iry (,ai'e there wus also a public reason why he should be at his post. New Y'ork financier have appealed to him to relieve the situation In the money market by increasing deposits lu initio: ml banks and he feels that he can hardly act at this distance from the scene if he finds thnt action desirable.

It was shortly nfter 4 p. m. when one nf the throni: which surrounded the pre ideiitinl party a inediuui-sizcd man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in hlni-k. nnnronched as If to greet the president. Ilis right hand was bandaged in a white handkerchief, as if the hand was sore. He was patient in line and presented no appearance out of the or dinary. He stepped briskly up to the president when it came his turn, grnspeil the extended hnnd in bis left hand and pressed the bandaged hand against the president's body. There were two quick, slightly muffled reports anil a wisp nt smoke rose from the bandaged tianii The hniicbige was merely the covering of a revolver, with which the dastardly crime was committed. For n moment there was silence the aitpnee that follows the discharge of a bombshell. The president stood stock still, a look of hesitancy, olmost of be wilderment on his fnce. Then he re treated a step while a pallor began to steal over his feature. The multitude. only partially nwaro that something se rious had happened, paused In tne silence of surprise, while necks were craned ami all eyes turned as one toward the rostrum where a great tragedy was Delng enacted. Aaaaasln Quickly Captured. Then came a commotion. With the l-iiii of n tiger three men threw tnem- selve forward as with one impulse and sprang townrd the would-be assassin. Tu-n of them were United States secret service men who wen- on the lookout ami whose duty it was to guard against Just alien A calamity as had here In-fallen the nreoiclc-nt and the nation. 1 lie third was livtiiiiili-r. ii negro, wno nao oniy so . . ... ..i- ... instant previously grasped in his dusky nnlm the hand of the president. As one man tne trio nurien uu-ium-i,.- nnon tne president. npsiiouiei. h twinkling he was oorne to me ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp and strong arms pinioned his arms. A murmur arose, spread and swelled to hum of confusion, then grew to a naoci of sounds and later to a pandemonium of noises. The crowds thnt a moment be- fin hud stood unite ami motionless in bewildered ignorance of the enormity of the thing now with a single impulse surged forward toward the stage of the horrified drama, while a hoarse cry welled up from a thousand throats and a thousand men charged forward to lay bands iiion the perpetrator of the das- nnlle crime. Thn assailant was quickly willed by secret -service men nnd policemen. He was knocked down and kic ked about the head and body several times, but was finally rushed to a carriage, while officers with drawn revolvers rode with him. The carriage was driven ut a gallop to the gates. Several attempts were made unset It. but it got safely outside and the prisoner was landed at police heael quarler. He refused to say anything further than that his name was Fud Nleman . lie said tbut be came from I Detroit. On the slightly raised dais was enacted within those few feverish moments a tragedy so dramatic in character, so thrilling in intensity that few who looked on will ever Is- able to give a succinct account of what really did transpire. Even the actors who were playing the principal robs came out of It with blanched faces, trcuibling limbs and heating henrts, while their brain throbbed with a tumult of conflicting emotions which left liehind only a cha otic jumble of impression which could not be clariUed Into n lucid narrative or the events ns they really transpired. But of the multitude which witnessed or bore a pnrt in the scene of turmoil and turbulence there was but one mind which seemed to return its equilibrium. one hand which remained steady, one eye which gased with unflinching calmness and one voice which retained Its even tenor and faltered not at the most crit ical juncture. Tlic-y were the niind und the hand and the eye and the voice uf President Mckinley. After the first shock ot the assassin shots, he retreated a step, then, as the detective leaped upon his assailant he turned, walked steadily to a chair and seated himself, at the same time remov ing his hat and bowing his bead in hi hands. Kreryone Waa Kiclted. The president was carried first one wav. ami then a step ill the other. The excitement was so sudden and intense that for a minute no one knew what to do. I-'inallr some one said to carry him Inside the purple edge of the aisle, and seat him on one of the chairs. The bunting was in a solid piece, no one had time to iiroduce a knife, had they been able to think of such a thing. A couple of men tore the benches aside and tram pled the bunting down while .Mr. .Mil burn nnd Secretary Cortelyou half car tied the president over the line and into Ihe nnssiigewav leading to tne singe, whic h had not been used. The president wns able to walk a little, but was lean ing heavily on his escorts. In possiug over the bunting his foot caught and for a moment he. stumbled. The president was curried to a seat where half a dozen men stood by. and fanned him vigorous ly. Quick calls were sent in for doctors and the Emergency hospital ambulance. The stretcher was placed on the Boor and the wounded president was lined by Mr. Milbiirn. Mr. Cortelyou and the experienced ambulance corps, and laid gently on the pillows. The president groaned slightly, ns though iu great pain, but recovered, pressed his lips nrmiy and n-slgned himself to the care of the now grief-stricken men about him. At least I'll men carried the stretcnr out, up the three or four steps to tne door, the southwest door, and as it aliened and the great crowd caught glimpse of the prostrate and wounded chieftain upon the stretcher, a gronu of grief, so sympathetic and so earnestly from the great heart or the American people, went up to the heavens as n to ken of the sorrow overshadowing them. The people were unprepared, the aw- fulness of the occasion was so far be yond their comprehension that the only expressions they could utter were gasps of sentences, the burden of which was their Inability to believe this tragic truth. Great Oroan of Grief. Men uncovered their heads, their tongue swelled in their throats, th-y looked at eac h other In the most sympa thetic way. a though each wished to claim the other for his common brother thnt they might have the strength to stand under the crushing blow. Here in this vast snrrow-stiicken as semblage, which reached from the great Blii-tric Tower to the north, to the Tri umphal Causeway to the south and even beyond thnt. was truly exemplified the bond of sympathy which linked all man kind. No man wns weak who wept; It wn the time for weeping. There wns not then the slightest cry of vengeance that came as an afterthought. At this time, when the bullet-pierced Issly of their ruler was being carried out to them, and through their midst, it was one of genuine sympathy that came only from the heart. Women were no more af fected than men. They clung close to each other; It was a moment when every one felt that he needed lifli help of any kind, only a word, a look, that was all. With that powerful military nnd po lice escort, nil on the double quick, the president wns hurried awuy to the emer gency hospital, where a riHini had be-n nrepared for hiiu. Messages had ixt-n quicKiy sent hi different parts of the city for the most Ptiiiocnt iihvsicinns and surgeons, and the first call was for Dr. Uixey, the fam ily physician, wno nan icit uie grimim with -Mrs. Mckinley tor the .villliurn home.

The thousands who waited about the Temple of Music surged forward when he ap peared, tearing down the barrier ropea. $1.00 PEll ANNUM. fighting with the officers and the soldier lnd shouting: "Lynch bim-rlynch him hang him kill him." Some clutched at the horse, others at the wheel of the carriage. The polio- and soldier fought back the crowd aud the carriage galloped away.

Ha Caraful About My Wlfa." Be careful about my wife." he gasped the president. "Do not tell her. Then, writhing In the agony of 111 wounds, the president turned and saw his attrnirted murderer helpless on the floor lieiiciith the blows of soldiers ana tctei-tives. He raised bis right hand. stained with the blood of hi wotiud, and drawing down the head of his secretary, he whispered: "I-t no one hurt him. Then he sank back, deathly white, but clearly conscious, while they drugged hi assailant from his ptght. He sat pa tiently waiting without a mcian or sign of suffering beyond the ashy pallor of bis face, while they sent for the ambu lance, and waited for its coming. He sank obediently on the stretcher and was carried out. Nine minutes after the shots were tired he was lying In the hnier gency hospital. Great surgeons had been summoned by telephone nnd immediately set to work to save his lfe. The news of the shooting spread like wildfire around the exposition. Crowds wen- thunderstruck. Then silence fell nnon the Itainhow City. The Midway at tractions closed their doors. All the ntnte and foreign buildings, headed by the Cubans, closed their doors. Many jf the flags on these buildings were low rod. I'l-oido moved nbont dismayed, with troubled faces, speaking ill hushed voices. Wcnnen went to and fro weep ing. Strong men with white, set face and clenched hands nuide their way to the Ksplunaele und stood waiting by the Temple of Music. The light or deatn gleamed in their eyes nnd the doom of a murderer hovered over the multitude. Fortunately, the great bulk of them ar rived too late. Ihe red-handed auar- ohUt ti ii il been removed beyond their reach. When some heurd that he had been taken away they asked where he had gone nnd they turned their face thither. The young liuill who shot the president had practically no difficulty in getting to the side of the chief executive. I lie nature of the reception nincle it possible for everyone to get Into the big temple and to pass close enough to the president to shake his baud. No one wus suspi cions of the would-be assassin. He looked like an ordinary young mechanic with a sore hand, for, as has been told, his hand was covered with a hondker- chief or bandage. la Mlrilt of Protector The president stood in the center of the big auditorium, smiling and grasping cordially Ihe hand of every man and wo man who approached him. Gathered about him were a cordon -of I nited States marines, several detective, among them Geary, Solomon and Ilennfelt, of the Buffalo police. The detectives were within thru- feet of Mr. Mc kinley, wut'-hiiig thistly every man who ap proached. They were not expecting nn attack on his life: it Is customary for de tectives to guard him thus whenever he appears In public The young man moved slowly along flu narrow aisle whic h stretched through the crowd, waiting his turn leisurely. He held his hnndkerchief-eovered hand with the greatest care. The detectives saw him ami supposed his hand pained lilui. They had not the faintest suspicion that it clenched a weapon which was to strike perhaps a death Idow to the man whose life they were guarding. The prcsielcht shook luiinls with a lady. Th young man moved up close to him, eager apparently to grasp his hand. .lust a the president finished greeting the woman who was nhcad of the young man. the would-be assassin sidled up to Mr. MeKiuley, put his supposedly sore hand to the chief executive s body and shut his eyes.
