PRESIDENT IS IMPROVING Litest Reports Indicate a Favorable Change. Today's Dispatches From Buffalo Are Encouraging and Physicians Predict His Speedy Recovery. This afternoon's dispatches from Buf falo are very encouraging, and the phy sicians in attendance on President Mc- Kinley give it as their opinion that a favorable change in his condition is coming. This opinion is ha*ed on the fact that , no further unfavorable symptoms have developed since Saturday. The danger point, however, is not yet passed, and the bulletins which are issued hourly from the Milburne home in BuiT&lo are romarkubly conservative in their tone. To alley public suspicion regarding the bulletins, the following statement ' has been issued by Secretary to the President Cortelyou: '•The public will be kept fully advised of the actual condition of the president. Each bulletin is carefully and conserva tively prepared, and is an authoritative statement of the most important fea tures of the case at the hour it is issued. The people are entitled to the facts and shall have them." This statement is intended to put at rest any idea that the official bulletins underestimate the conditions and at tho same time to give assurance that those with the president intend that tho people shall have the facts. Bishop Consecrated. Monslgnor Eug.no A. Garvoy, nf Pltts ton, was yesterday consecrated bishop of the new diocese of Altoona, at St. Peter's cathedral, Scranton, with a most solemn and Imposing ceremony.

He preceded his sermon by referring to the fact that the joy of tho occasion was overshadowed by the calamity that had cotue to the nation's chief, and asking tho earnest prayers of all present that, the president jnight bo restored to health , to continue to he the model of civic vir tue that he has been in the past. Bishop Garvoy will sing his first pon tilical mass In Pittston uext Sunday and on the following Tuesday will goto his see accompanied by an escort of priests of Scranton. The Soldiers Re-Union.
