Hp worked his way amid the stream of people tip to the edge of the dnls until he was within two feet of the President. President McKinley bowed, smiled and extended his hand in the spirit of geniality the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rautr out loud and clear above the hum of voices, the shiilnlnif of myriad feet and vibra ting waves of nppiause that swept over the nsMiilhino. Threw the A:iflii Down. There was an lustnnt of utmost complete silence. The President Blood stock still, a look of hesitancy, almost bewilderment, on his face. Then he retreated a step, while the pallor lieifan to steal over his feat tin's. The multitude, only partially aware that somethiiiK serious had happened, paused lu surprise, while necks were craned ond nil eyes turned ns one to ward the rostrum, where a greut tra edy was IicIiik enacted, Theti came a commotion.

President McKinley' condition I extremely grave. While hi physicians hold out no hope, and the tlevclnpnli'iir of the day have been somewhat encour aging, lu that untie of the symptoms of peritonitis or blood poisoning which they so much dread, have up poured, medical experience with sim ilar wound cause much anxiety and the physicians shake their heads gloomily when they speak of tin? fu tine. Although their distinguished patients coliilit ion lins been la vera bio throughout the day. they do not desire to buoy -the country up with false hope. Iiillanimatlon Is what I hey fear, and at the tlrst sign in that direction the country must stool It sell' for the blow. For the lime being the bullet of the assassin, which Is still lu the body, Is a secondary consideration. Willie It lias not boon absolutely located, they all agree that after passing through the abdominal cavity mid perforating both walls of the stom in h. It lodged In the lloshy muscles of the back and. if necessity required, It could easily be located with ltoent- gou s A-rny ami extricated. They agree that It is now of more Import ance that the President should re cover from the shock of the first op eration than that the bullet should be removed. Whnt Is Moat Dreaded. Peritonitis is what they dread most, and after that septic poisoning, and suppuration of the wound. The cm clal point will come within 48 hours, possibly sooner. Indeed, one of the attending physicians said to-day that If no signs of lutlaniiiiiltlon appeared before to-morrow night lie would con shier the chances of ultimate recov ery exceedingly Rood. Several of his colleagues, however, are not so sail guiiie. The President has been dozing drowsily throughout the major por tion of the day. Two physicians mid two trained nurses are constantly at his bedside. He has uot yet fullv re covered from the effects of the other which was administered to him. He was under the Influence of thu pow erful anaesthetic over nu hour. The result Is that, although perfectly ra tlonuj when conscious, he dor.es much of the time. Absolute quiet and free dotu from excitement the physloluus regiiru as tue great essentials now, and visitors are rigidly excluded. Not a Cabinet ofllcer, not even Sec retary Cortelyou, was allowed lu thu sick chamber to-day. With the ex ception of the physicians and attend ants, Mrs. McKinley was the only person who crossed the threshold. Tho President nsked to see her, aud the physicians did not have the heart to refuse his request. She wag there but a few minutes seated at his bed side, ns he lu his devotion to her In her Illness bus go often beeu at hers Mrs. McKinley hud been warned not to talk, aud the President and wife exchanged only a few words.

When Dr. Hlxey told Mr. McKinley todav of llie extreme grav ity of the case she did Hot break down, on the contrary, feeble as site Is. grief seemed to lend her slreliglli. and she felt tluil she must bear up for hi siike.

He declined to furnish the names of tho men with whom lie dis cussed the crimp of Friday, but the police believe they will yet lenrn them and that when they do they will have exposed the anarchistic plot of which they are contlilcut the prisoner was the final agent of murder. Czolgosz submitted to six hours nf examination and questioning nt the hands of the police otllcials, and was tired out when led back to his coll ami locked up for the night. The lengthy examination of the prisoner was fruit less save lu so far ns his own Indi vidual fate Is concerned, for, while he told nothing that would Implicate any one lu his crime, lu went over the scene nt the Temple of Music when he shot the President again and again, completing a confession as ample as the law ever exacted.
