DOCTGRS ARE CONFIDENT' Everything Favorable For Mr. McKinley’s Recovery A Surgeon’s Opinion. A despatch from Buffalo. N. Y.. nayszâ€"The condition of the President continues favorable. and nothing has occurred to Shake the faith the at- tending surgeons and physicians have expressed that he will recover. The holes in the stomach proper caused by the perforation of the bullet are now considered healed by Dr. Mc- Burney and his associates, and the eminent surgeon pointed to the fact that the beef juice fed to the patient through the mouth Was readily di- gested as proof of this. Sufficient time has also elapsed to Warrant the doctors in asserting that the danger of inflammation where the bullet lodged has disappeared. it is be- lieved that the ball has now become encysted in the muscles of the back, and unless its location should prove troublesome later on there will never be any necessity for removing it. The skill of the physicians is now The skill of the physicians is now then-tore mainly directed to the care 8nd treatment 0! the wound caused by the incision made in the abdomen when the operation was performed. EV l DENC E OI" IMPROVEMENT. The President now breathes deeply and normally, and the addition of the respiration record to the bulletin was considered valueiess. The evi- dam-e oi improvement is the Presi- dent's keen relish o! the bee! . juice given him and the increase in his al- lowance {rum one to three teaspoon- luls. and the fact that the wound is bec'oming more healthy. The President continues in excellent spirits. but he confessed to one of the attendants that he was getting lone- some. He requested that he be plac- ed in another bed; a depression had formed in the mattress in which he has lain since he Was taken to the Milhurn house and had caused some discomfort. Another bed was pro- Vidal. and he Was carefully removed to it without ditliculty. It is now Virtually derided that no attempt will he made to remove the President to Washington until he has complete- ly recovered. and in a general way it can he said that there is no likeli- hood that this will be until October. BRAVE MRS. MCKINLEY. Mrs. McKinley still displays the same brave fortitude she has slnwn since the tragedy occurred. The members of the Cabinet, At- torney-Heneral Knox. and Secretary (law. as well as those a ho are here. an unanimously of the opinion that (‘inlI «is/Is otlence is against the Stale of New York and ii rie County and that there is no Federal statute to cover the case. It is understood that the local authorities are only Itw'ailing the result of the shot to formulate their charge against the assailant of the President. No BLOOD I’OJSUNING. At the conclusion of the Tuesday night conference of the physicians the dot-tors gave another extremely grat- if)ing report of their patient's pro- gress. The physicians did not begin to leave the Milburn residence until shortly before 11 o'clock. The re- ports which they had to communi- cute (‘oulti hardly have been more gratifying than they were. Dr. Was- din and Dr. lilynter came out toge- tlui The latter saidzâ€"“lie is still, improving. l desire to say that a count of his blood shows that it is in a normal condition. and we feel that we can announce definitely that the-r.- is not the least indication of blood poisoning." llt' referred the reporters to Dr. Wasdin. oi the Marine Hospital Ser- vice. who was standing at his side. for a scientilic interpretation. The lath-r explained that a count of the; blend was a microscopic determinaâ€"p tion of the relative number of white and red corpuscles in the blood to de- termine whether inflammation of any Sort existed. An increase of white corpustles, relatively speaking. would show inflammation and deterioration of the blood that might indicate per- itonitis or a blood poisoning. lle said that a few drops of blood; were taken from the lobe of the ear, ‘ and microscopically tested under his direction. “We found." said he ”that the number of white corpuscles was just. about normal, while the red cells were slightly below normal. due to insufl‘ciI-nt nutrition since the opera- tion. The count was not made." continued Dr. Wasdin. “to verify the fact that blood poisoning did not ex- ist. of which he felt certain. but to rmnow- I'Vt'l'y shadow of doubt. The res-uh is that we feel safe in. announc- int: that not a trace of blood poison- ing, peritonitis. or inflammation ex~ ists. The test could not have been. more satisfactory.” T'nis wound is progressing satisfac~ torily. Courage and nerve in critical mo- ments do not speak with their most .luqmmt. force in acts which bring the hvl'u into greatest notnricty.

Czolgosz Pays No Attention to His Appearance. A despatch from Buffalo, N. Y., saysâ€"Nobody outside of official cit- clvs secs Czolgosz, but it is said that he has grown to be even a more re- pulsive object than when he was first locked up with his face battered and his clothes torn and bloody. He has not been permitted to shave and his face is covered with a growth of scruggy board that is not an orna- went. lie is wearing the same clothes he had on when he shot the President. He Was not provided with a change of linen. and the police did not think it was their duty to secure any for him. He wears neither cont nor vest. His faded shirt is soiled and spotted with blood, the blood which was drawn from his nose and face by the blows which were ruined upon him immediately after he shot the President. The button-holes in the eullnr of his shirt are ripped apart. His hair is long, heavy, and tan- gled. It falls over his face and ears, and is beginning to turn up at the buck of the neck. Cytolgosz made one request for a comb. It was de- nied him. and since then he has not displayed the slightest interest in his personal appearance. AS he appears now. there are not. very many men who would be pleas- ed to meet Czolgosz in a. lonely by- Wuy at night. There is a good deal of the animal in his make-up. The police say he has the phrenological chumctvristics common to criminals of u Bow and degraded Class. it is main rerun-toil that the man is breaking down. but this probably is an cxaggcration. His gluttonous appetite may have fallen off a little, as is said to be the case. That is only natural. It is not surprising either that the seclusion of a dun- geon and the absolute isolation from the world and from any echo of what is being said and done about him is a condition that has a cooling effect cwn upon conceit as great as his. 'l he police are not worrying about their prisoner's personal appearance. The duties he has to do are simple. They consist of sleeping on his plank, eating his meals, and now and then appearing for further cross-ex. amination. The sleeping and the eat- ing are optional, but the appearance for cross-examination is imperative. Probably he enjoys it. It is the on- ly change he has. His guards an- swer none of his questions. and he has quit asking them. So far as is known he thinks the President. is dead. Thinking the President is dead he probably expects to be executed. and it is likely he would kill himself if he got the chance. Very good care is taken that he does not get the chance. and that none of his Anar- chist Confederates by any device gets to him the means of a happy end. Whether the Goldman woman will be brought here is a matter that is under discussion, as is the possibility of convicting her of being an accom- plice in the crime if she were brought to trial here. As to the disposition of her case. as well as in every other matter connected with Czolgosz and his deed. the local authorities are yielding in every way to the wishes of the Federal authorities. Scheeper's Commando Being Driven Hither and Thlther. General Methuen has had an en- gagement with a Beer force at Rhe- nnsterfmltein. east of Zeerust, in which 11 of the burghers were kill- ed and 20 captured. The British pur- sued the Boers north and in the (hase killed seven and captured 21 of them A dcspatch from Pretoria says:â€" Scheeper’s commando of 250 men, mostly rebels, is being driven hith- er and thither by live columns under Beatson. They are now near Wor- mrster. Reports indicate satisfac- tory progress during the week. An unonvmous Boer communication has been received threatening repris- 111s if confiscation proclamation is ca11ied out. Skirmishcs have taken place on the Pictorsburg Railway line, in which seven Boers were killed. LOSING ALL HIS VANITY. Capt. Arbendorn' and Commandant Van De:- lerwo Slain.

A despatch from Montreal says :â€" A remarkable letter was received by the City Clerk on Wedneaday. The letter. which was written in Italian. covered twelve pages of ordinary notepaper. The writer, who signed himself Giovanni Cabbionl, claimed that he was a public benefactor, and did not want the Italian name to be smirched with any more assas- sinations. He declared that he had informat' n to the effect that twelve Anarchists from Paterson, N.J., had just arrived in Montreal. with the avowed intent of murdering the Prince. The plot was to throw a bomb at him when in the procession. which is to start from Viger Square. Being a loyal Italian, he had de- cided the facts of the dastardly con- templated attempt should be made known to the Mayor and the police. Although the letter was generally regarded as a fake, got up for the purpose of creating a sensation. it was sent to the police for investiga- tion. Chief Carpenter laughed at. the latter. but every precaution will be taken during the Royal visit to prevent suspicious characters ap. preaching the Royal party. A despatch from Ottawa says: - At Thursday's meeting of the Cabin- et an order-in-Council was passed disallowing two of the Acts of the British Columbia Legislature of last year, against which the Japanese Government has so vigorously pro- tested. One of these measures is chap. 11, entitled “An Act to Regu- late Immigration into British Col- umbia." It is practically a copy of what is known as the Natal Immi- gration Act, and imposes education- al qualifications upon immigrants generally. Chap. 14, which is also disallowed, is an Act relating to the employment on works carried on under franchises, granted by private Acts of incorporation. The obnoxious provision of the statute in question debars from em- ployment with such company any person who “shall fail to read in a language of Europe this Act." This provision would shut out fully 95 per cent. of the Japanese and Chi- nese in Canada from securing em- ployment with companies possessing provincial incorporation. _‘ British Columbia.

A despatch from London says:-â€"A despatch to the Daily Mail from Sydney, New South Wales. says that Sir John Forrest, Minister of De- fence of the Commonwealth of Aus- tralia, is drafting a Federal naval policy, aiming at the eventual for- mation of a purely Australian navy. which he regards as speedily neces- sary. He thinks that the existing system of paying Great Britain for naval defence is unsatisfactory. The Punctiliousness of King Ed- ward VII. King Edward VII.. although one of the best-immoral of men, is known to be a martinet in all matters of form. precedence, and social usage. Since his accession many instances of his rigid discipline have been made known. While he was crossing from Os- borne to the mainland during the week of the funeral of the queen, he observed that the flag was lowered on the mast of the vessel. “Why is this ?" he said sharply to the captain, who stummcrcd. “Your Majestyâ€"the Queen is dead." The keeper of the Tower with oth- er dignitaries waited upon the King after his accession. to offer him, ac- cording to custom. the keys of that fortress. The King received them. but continued steadily to regard the oflicial, and with a. look of annoy- ance. “Is there anything â€"â€" What can I do, your Majesty ?" hesitated the keeper. “Yes, but. I am here. This boat is the only place in England tn-day where the (lug should not. be lower- “Go home and put a band of crape on your overcoat," was the reply. A year or two ago a portrait of one of the secretaries of the King. who was then Prince of Wales, was submitted to his inspection by the artist. The Prince glanced at it, and turning to the secretary said: ““Your orders are not placed prop- erly on your breast in this pictuie The precedence should be exactly the reverse of that, which you lune giv- en... v-- “But the likeness, your Highness?" gasped the artist.
