PRESIDENT McKINLEY HOLDING HIS OWN. Official Bulletins Disclose No Alarming Features. NO SIGNS OF BLOOD POISONING.

Physicians Report Entire Absence of the Dreeded Symptoms- -Safely Passing the Crucial Stage of His Suffering -Aiuiety of the Nation Relieved.

SccrrUry Corlclyoa Promise* the Troth. Secretary Corttlyou ha* made the foi1 owing announcement because of intimations in certain sensational newspapers that the bulletins of the physicians under-estimated the gravity of the President's condition: The public wjll be kept fully advised of the actual condition of the President. Each bulletin is carefully and conservatively prepared, and is an authoritative, statement of the most important features of the case at the hour it is issued. The people are entitled to the facta, and shall have them. (Signed) GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, Secretary to the President. This statement is intended to put at rest any idea that the official bulletins underestimate the conditions, and, at the same time, to give assurance that those with the President intend that the people shall have the facts.

ALMOST BREAKS RECORD. PrtaMBM’s Rapid Progress a Orest Surprise t* the Doctors Attcadlaf Kb. Buffalo. N. Y. (Special).—The most conservative ol the physicians now agree that the rapid progress of President McKinley almost breaks the record in the histoi? of wounds like his. All the city is rejoicing. Nevertheless, a period of waiting i still ahead. Even if the President con tinues to.improt* as steadily as durii

When Mrs. McKinley visit* the President little it said by cither of them.- Sitting beside his bed. the devoted and courageous wife holds her husband's hand, ana in silence for the most part they past the minutes al-

lowed them to be together.

There is little distinction between day. and night in the President's sick room. He has no regular hours for sleeping, but every little while he becomes drowsy and genarally sleeps several hours at a tint*. There is always a nurse in attendance, and at least one of the physicians remains in an adjoining room. When he awakens from one of his naps he is given a small drink of water containing nourishing ingredients. and -^he physician then in charge takes hi* temperature, pulse and respi-

ration.

In a few days, if the President's present convalescence continues, it will be possible for a few of his most intimate friends to see him. Mrs. McKinley will be allowed.to visit him at- more frequent intervals, and gradually he will be

brought back

During the visit of Mrs. McKinley to the President's bedside there has been no discussion of the attempted assastjpation. Mrs. McKinley is in possession of all the facts connected with it. Soon after the President was taken front the 1 Exposition grounds to the Milburn resi- i

aisle were covered wi strips of purple bunting.

In passing to the place the President took oS his hat ana smiled pleasantly to a little group of ’newspaper men and to the guards who had been stationed in the place. To one of the reporters he spoke smilingly, saying: "It is much cooler in here, isn’t it?" The interior of the building had been arranged for the reception. From lift main entrance, which opens to the southeast from the temple into the wide esplanade, where thousands had gathered. an aisle had been made through the rows of seats in the building to a point naer the centre This aisle was about eight feet wide and turned near the cent/e to the southwest door of the temple,-so that there was a passage dividing the south part of the structure into a ri*ht angle. It was so arranged that the people who would shake hands with the President would enter at the southeast door, meet the Pretident in the centre and then pass on out at the southwest door.

Far down the line a man of unusual aspect appeared taking bis turn in the line. He was short, heavy, dark, and beneath a heavy dark mustache was a pair of straight bloodless lips. Under the black brows gleamed a pair of glistenigg He was picked at once as a suspicious person and when he reached Foster the secret service man held a hand on him until he "had gotten to the President and had clasped the Chief Executive's hand. Ireland was equally alert and the slightest move on the part of this man, who is now supposed to have been on accomplice, and for whom a search is being made, would have been checked, by the

officers.

Immediately following this man was the President's assailant. He was a rather tall, boyish-looking fellow, apparently 25 years old. and of foreign extraction. His smooth, rather pointed face would not indicate hi* purpose in slaying the nation's Executive. The secret service men noted that about his right had was wrapped a handkerchief. As be-catried the hand uplifted. as if supported by a sling under his coat, the officers believed his hand was injured, and especially as he extended his left hand across the right so as to shake hands with the President. It wan noticed that the person who was in front of the assassin held back, apparently to shield the young man. so that it was necessary fpr Ireland to push h'm cn.

This was a dramatic scene. The assassin had been hurled into a far corner of the room, where he lay in an apparently lifeless heap, his clothes torn, his face bleeding ant: his breath coming short. He shook all over like a mass of gelatin. Hit eyes rolled now and then to the ceiling and his limbs twitched nervously.
