To Dr. Rixey he said that he hoped to recover to show that he appreciated all which had been done for him. Perhaps the strangest feature of the progress that has been made toward re- covery by the President is that he has at no time shown any symptoms of re lapse. After the operation there was no sinking spell which usually results from such a shock, and from the moment his wounds were dressed his progress has been steady and satisfactory. Dr. Mc- Burney said that in all his experience as a physician he has never known another patient who exhibited great a ten- dency to respond to medical treatment as does President McKinley.

Dr. Rixey told him that the wounds in his stomach, would not heal in less than a week or ten days, and during that time it would be impos- sible for him to take any solid nourish- ment. This information was far from pleasant, but the President made no complaint other than a semi-jocular re- mark to the effect that it was bad enough to be shot, without being starved to death.

HOW ROOSEVELT BORE IT. “Qur Onc Thought and Prayer,” fie Seid, “Is Now for the President.” Buffalo, N. Y. (Special).-—John Bar- et, former Minister to Siam. who was with Colonel Roosevelt at Isle La Motte, Vt., when the news of the shooting of the President was received, says: “I shall never forget the demeanor of the Vice-President when he heard the news of the shooting. He was called to the telephone in the house of ex-Gover- nor Fisk. As soon as he realized the meaning of the terrible news a dazed expression, folowed by a look of unniis- takable anguish, came to his strong face, and tears filled his eyes. He was plain- ly laboring under deep emotion, and ask- ed Senator Proctor, likewise keenly af- fected, to make the sad announcement to the waiting crowd outside. “The Vice-President paced nervously up and down the room, dictated a tele- gram to Buffalo and waited for more news. When, shortly, the second hulle- tin followed, saying the President's wounds were not necessarily fatal, the Vice-President exclaimed with sincerest feeling : “ ‘That's good—it is good. every bit true.’ “He brushed aside those about him, hastened out on the veranda and made the reassuring announcement himself. “When the Vice-Presidential party was en route back to Burlington some- body in all kindness, but thoughtlessly, said : “ ‘Mr. Vice-President, you must be anxious lest on your arrival you shall hear that the death of Mr. McKinley has made you President.’ “Instantly he raised his hand in char- acteristic gesture and with a pained look said: ‘Do not speak of that con- tingency. Our one thought and prayer is now for the President, that he may be spared.’ FROM KING AND "EMPEROR. May it be Personal Messages From Edward VII. and William 11 to the President. ol Kiel, Sept. 7.
