The former two remained only short time. When they left Postmaster General Smith expressed great confidence in the president’s ability to pull throuxh.

The reduction of temperature to 101 was also noted as highly gratifying. BUFFALO, Sept. 8.—Senator Hanna has sent telegrams to his friends in different parts of the country who have appealed to him for news, saying the conditions could not be more favorable.

President McKinley in the Emergency hospital on the exposition | grounds at Buffalo, arrivea in this «IIY‘ yesterday. | “When 1 was summoned to the operating room there were present several physisians in addition to the regular hospital staft.” | he said. *“The president’s clothes had been | removed and he was lylng o ating | table. He had been glven some temporary reliof. “An examination was at once held and from the president’s condition It was clearly | indicated that an operation was imperative | at once. We told Mr. McKinley what was necessary and he replied i “‘Gentlemen, do what in your judgment | you think best.’ | “The president was just as calm and quiet | as possible. He was not the least bit nerv : ous. Of course, he was suffering some pain | and was slightly vauseated, but taking | everything into consideration, he was ab- | solutely calm. : ““The second bullet had entered five inches | below the left nipple and one and a halt inches to the left of the median line. Tt | had passed through all the tissues and had penetrated the stomach in two places, front and back. The stomach was quite full, the president having eaten a hearty luncheon, as he had previously told me. Of course, there was more or less hemorrhage and some of the contents of the stomach were also excaping. It was absolutely necessary to prevent any further leakage Into the abdominal cavity, and this was at onc done, “The bullet must either have lodged in the muscles of the back somewhere, or, having spent its force, have dropped into the abdominal cavity. It had probably done all the damage it could do. “Dr. Mann, Dr. Mynter and myself thor- oughly cleaned the abdominal cavity, and, turning the patient on his side, examined carefully to see it the missing bullet had lodged beneath the skin. We were unable to find any trace of It “Mr. McKinley stood the operation re- markably well, although it was a dellcate matter to sew up the stomach, and we were | at work about an hour and a half. He came out of it in excellent condition “Cases of this kind are always critical and evary surgeon present spoke of the seriousness of the president’s condition. The patient showed wonderful fortitude throughout, and any man except an an- archist would have been stricken to the to see that great, good and grand sheet, and yet with that dignity and calmness which are characteristic of President McKinley. “No (rainage tubes were used, as the cavity made them unnecessary. The In- clsions in the stomach were sewed up with silk sutures and those in the abdominal 1l with silkworm gut sutures. “The tragedy shows the great need of an emergency hospltal at expositions like the Pan-American, and its location on the grounds enabled the president to obtain al- most immediate rolief. If the patient had had to be taken to a downtown hospital the contents of the stomach would have filtered into the abdominal cavity to & much greate extent and the result would have been much | more serious, “The emergency hospital automobile am- bulance service the most perfect one | have ever seen, and the asphalt pavements it abeolutely smooth going.
