Incision was hastily closed, and after a hasty consultation it was divided to remove the patient to the home of President Mllburu. This was done, the automobile ambulance being used for the purpose. Arrived at the Milburn residence, all persons outside the medical attendants, nurses and the oillclals immediately concerned r/cre excluded, and the task of probing for the bullet which had lodged In the abdomen was begun by IDr. Uoswell Parke. Dr. John B. Walker of 33 West Tliirty-tlilrCl street an id: "Any injury to the stomach similar to tluit wblcli 1ms been inflicted 011 President McKlnlcy is serious. There have been enses of stomach perforation where the patients have recovered. The diagnosis of any perforated wound of the stomach ill an adult Is ever}' serious. The trouble is that inflammation following such an injury is more acute to an older person than to one more youthful. The fear is that the content* of the stomach will ooze into the Intestines and peritonitis set in." Details of the Tragedy and Scenes Incidents of the Day at the Home. That Followed. William McKinley, President of the United States, was shot in the Temple of Music, at the Pan-American Exposition, in Buffalo, about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon during a reception held in his honor. His assailant was an anarchist named Fred. Nieman, from Detroit, who, while apparently about to shake hands with the President, tired two shots at him with a revolver Which he had concealed in his hand with a handkerchief. Both shots took effect. The wounds are serious, but not necessarily fatal. After a preliminary examination of the wounds had been made at the Exposition hospital, the President was removed to the house of John G. Milburn, where he still remains. Nieman was immediately arrested and is now in prison. The details of the tragedy and the story of the exciting scenes that followed the shooting are told below. The deepest interest of a sorrowing nation centera today on the hem# John G.

"Ho you recall auy recent similar to that of President McKinley," When thijppews of the crime was telephoned to the home of PreshTniit Milburn, where .Mrs. McKinley was resting. immediate steps were taken to spare her the shock, of a premature statcim lit of the occurrence before the trfic condition of the president should be ascertained; tJuards were stationed and no one permitted to approach the house. was asked. "IDr. Bull performed an operation on a young man a short time ago. The Intestines were perforated, and au operation similar to that performed on President McKluley resulted In complete recovery. If President McKinley were a man lietwocn thlrU'-llve and forty years of age. the chances would he more in his favor. I cannot recall at this time a case of a man of the age of the president recovering from similar wounds. There is one advantage the president had. and that is the prompt assistance of a surgeon. Dr. Uoswcll Parke Is one of the uiosi eminent surgeons in the United States." When it was decided to remove the president from the exposition hospital to the Mllburu residence, the news was broken to Mrs. Mclyinley as gently as might lie by the member* of the Milburn family. She bore the shock remarkably well and displayed the utmost fortitude. Buffalo. Sept. 7.—"The President passed a good night. Temperature 102; pulse 110; respiration 24."

Sept. 7— S.22 a. m.— The latest reports as to the President's condition are to the effect that the bullet wound in the groin is far less dangerous than was supposed. It was this wound that caused the most anxiety. The successful removal of the bullet from the groin lias given great comfort to all interested. The wound in the chest is so near the shoulder that it is hoped it may prove to be little more than a flesh wound. At 8:80 the representatives of the press were admitted to the Mllburu mansion, where Secretary t'ortelyoti gave them the oJllcial bulletin firepare»l by the physicians.

Sept 7.—12.15 p. m.—The President's condition remains unchanged.This condition was maintained until 1 o'clock J. in., when the physicians issued the following bulletin: Buffalo. Sept. 7.—Last night was an eventful one at the home of Mr. Milburue. where the President and Mrs. MeKinley are being cared for. It was a wakeful night, and sleep was foreign to most of Its Inmates, owing to anx iety over the condition of the President and his wife. Mrs. MeKinley slept a little while, but with her it was forced sleep. 8he was very desirous of spending the night at the bedside of of her wounded husband, hut in her weakened condition this was not to be thought of. Dr. Rixey. the family physician, was well aware of this, and counselled with Mrs. MeKinley in regard to the matter, showing her that it would be unwise for her to undertake more than she was able to stand. Mrs. MeKinley realized that Dr. Rixey understands her condition thoroughly and listened to his counsels. She finally took the mild opiate which the doctor prepared and closed her eyes in sleep soon after her head was laid on the pillow. Her condition today is as "The president is free from pain and resting well. Temperature 100.2, pulse 120, respiration 24."
