NO UNFAVORABLE SYMPTOMS Physicians Express Confidence That He Will Recover Dr. McBurncy Says it Will Be a Week Before , He Is Out of Danger. MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 10, 3 A. M. President McKinley is rest ing easily. His condition continues to Im prove. His physicians express the utmost confidence that he will recover, though there is still a possibility that complica tions may set in. Up to this time thero have been no symptoms of peritonitis,, and the danger of this setting in decreases every hour. Dr. McBurney, however, says that if the improvement continues it will be a week before the President can be pronounced out .of. danger and convales cent. The President himself is cheerful, and was given light nourishment yester day. Everything is quiet at the MUburn house, and the vigilance of the guaras Is not as strict as It has been heretofore.

MILBURN HOUSE, Buffalo, Sept. 9. After the 9:30 bulletin had been issued from the Mllburn residence tonight an nouncing a continuance of the favorable condition of the President, there were many indications that the bulletins were but meager Indications of the real im provement of the distinguished patient. At 9:45 P. M. Miss McKinley, a sister of the President; Dr. and Mrs. Herman Baer, the latter a niece of the Presi dent, and the Misses Barber, nieces of the President, left the house, and, taking car riages, announced their intention of re turning to their homes tonight. Abner McKinley accompanied them to the sta tion, and to the Associated Press said: "The nearest relatives of the President are so confident of his recovery that they have no hesitancy in leaving." Postmaster Frease, of Canton, a warm personal friend of the President, who came 'today filled with anxiety, said to night: "I go back tonight because I have the most positive assurance that the President is going to make a rapid recov ery." In fact, by 10:30 o'clock tonight the en tire temper of everybody about the Mil burn residence seemed to have undergone a radical change. The police did not stop wagons from going by the nearest corner at high speed; the regular Army guard was not so particular about those who passed up the guarded street. The news paper men did not maintain the quiet that has prevailed for the past three days. Even those who came from the mansion where the wounded man lies stopped on the corner to laugh and chat. From som ber foreboding the feeling has suddenly turned to joyful confidence that the Na tion's ruler Is to be spared. At 10:50 tonight the lights in the man slpn, except those dimly shining in the sickroom, were extinguished, and by 11 o'clock peaceful quiet reigned about the Mllburn home. On the dark corner oppo site the house, soldiers, policemen and newspaper men kept vigil, however, "be neath their tents. The 9:30 bulletin, as was promised, was to be the last for' the night, and while it was brief, attention was called to the fact that the pulse was exactly the same as this morning, 112, and that the temperature was eight-tenths of a degree lower, highly favorable symptoms. THE DAY'S VIGIL. All Are Confident President McKin ley "Will Recover. MILBURN HOUSE. BUFFALO, Sept. 9. "God's contribution to the American people will be the sparing of the Presi dent's life.". As the evening shadows were falling tonight, John G. Mllburn, presi dent of the Pan-American Exposition, rev erently uttered these words, as he stood before the house in which the Nation's patient was fighting so bravely with death. And all who have been at the Mllburn 'residence today reflect the view that the battle will be won, and the world's prayers answered. Since last night, no unfavorable symptom has ap peared. Every hour has been a victory. Faith In the outcome grows stronger and stronger, and hope mounts until In the minds of some the danger of all future complications has vanished, and hope has become conviction. Indeed, many of the President's friends seem possessed with a sort of a superstitious confidence in the President's recovers', which nothing but an absolute change for the worse can shake. The basis for the confidence Is expressed as solid. There has been nothing but Improvement, gradual, but sure. Every bulletin, every private and public word of the physicians in attendance, breathes encouragement. The reports which the physicians have given out are facts as th,ey exist from a recent conference stand point, unmixed with sentiment. Never theless, that the President Is not out of danger Is the verdict of all of them. Nei ther of them would risk his professional reputation with a statement that the President will lh'e. All they will say Is that with every hour the danger of com plications from peritonitis or blood poison ing' decreases. Dr McBurney, the moj-t eminent of the physicians In attendance, expressed the oplnlqn that If the Improve ment continues It wTl be a week before the President can ble pronounced out of danger and convalescent. And some of his colleagues, like Dr. Mann, place the limit of danger still further away. The fear of peritonitis, It can be said positive ly, has well nigh disappeared. At the ex piration of the 72-hour period, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, danger from that source was almost gone. President Is Cheerful. The President himself has been cheerful today, and has expressed confidence in his recovery. Tpday he asked for a morn ing paper, but this, of course, had to be denied him. It Is only with some difficul ty that he can be restrained from talk ing, and Colonel Myron T. Herrlck, of Cleveland, is quoted as .authority for the statement that he has .spoken at intervals of several things he proposes to do In the future. This morning he asked to be allowed to change h!sN position, and when permission was given, before the attend ants could move him, he changed to the position he desired to assume without diffi culty or pain. This speaks much for his general strength and spirits. Mrs. Mc Kinley saw him again ioday for a brief visit, and Secretary 'prtelyou was ad mitted for th first .time. No one else was admitted to sec him, although he In quired several times who were below stairs. He was given nourishment in the form of eggs beaten in milk, administered through the rectum. The water which has been given heretofore cold, did not appear to agree with him, and since last night very hot water has been taken Into the stomach through the mouth with splendid results. His bowels moved free ly today, which was considered an ex cellent symptom. If he continues to im prove, it will be gradually. If he should giow worse, the change in that direction also will probably be, slow: This is the opinion of Dr. Mann; There will be no crisis. If ho arrives at convalescence. Dr. Park expresses his opinion that It will be three weeks before It will be safe to move him. It Is expected tha the in terior wounds will heal first:- The sutures of the lcerateA ti?iverma,de so, soron BUer me ouui;r pirareu, uuti mvy xire proba'bly healing rapidly. With the ex terior wound it Is a slower process. The extreme optimism of the Vice-President and the members of the Cabinet would be difficult to overstate. Roosevelt Is Confident. "I am -absolutely confident everything will turn out all right," declared the Vice President, and he said he based his con fidence on Information behind the public expressions of the physicians. So con fident are Secretary Gage and Attorney General Knox at the steady Improvement that they returned to Washington tonight, feeling confident that their chief will re cover, but with the assurance of the phy sicians that If a change for the worse should come it would be gradual, and they would have ample time to return. In the case of Secretary Gage, there was also a. public reason why he should Be at his post. New York financiers have appealed to him to relieve the situation in the money market by Increasing deposits in National banks, and he feels that he can hardly act at this distance from the scene if he finds that action is desirable. Secretary of State Hay is due to arrive rc-nlght, and, will remain with the other members of the Cabinet at least for a day or two. The devotion of the members of the Cabinet to their chief Is touching. All would deslTe to remain near him until the crucial period is passed, and Secre tary Hitfchcock and Secretary Wilson avow that only absolute and imperative public business will Induce them to de part before the President is pronounced out of danger. Senator Hanna will also remain until the physicians give absolute assurance that) Mr. McKinley will live. Controller Dawes, and some of the other eminent men connected with the Adminis tration expect to depart tomorrow or Wednesday if the improvement continues. Roosevelt Wins Admiration. Vice-President Roosevelt has occupied a peculiarly delicate and trying position since the event which threatened the President's life, but he has borne him self throughout this ordeal in such a manner as to win the admiration and re bpect of all. It has, moreover, added a new bond between the Vice-President and those intimately associated with the Pres ident, and the latfer arc warmest in their expressions of the manner In Avhlch he has met every requirement of the situation. Not for a moment has he permitted the idea to be entertained that there was need for considering the constitutional disabil ity of the President, and the exercise of executive functions which this would Im pose on him. On the contrary. Mr. Roose velt has been one of the most positive In the conviction that the President would recover. During the long perjod of Gar fiela's Illness, discussions arose as to what constituted the disability of the President? within the meaning of the Constitution; whether, when the physical faculties were Lenumbed, while the raenfal faculties , were unimpaired, there was any disability as meant by the Constitution. But for tunately, there has been ' no such issue presented on this occasion,. and the Vice President himself has been primarily re sponsible for t'he avoidance of any thought of the temporary exercise of executive functions by him. Nor has there been any occasion for the exercise of executive authority for minor routine matter, as It can readily be left until the present! emer gency has passed. Twice during the' day and again this evening the Vice-President has called at the Mllburn house to inquire as to the President's condition. During the afternoon call he met several of the Cabinet officers and Senator Hanna, and spent a short time with them in informal discussion. Oi the streets, Mr. Roosevelt has been the cynosure of respectable at Vention, but has met this with dignity and composure. Despite remarks that he was going about guarded by secret service men, he has positively declined to have anything like a guard near him. One of his remarks today, in speaking to two la. borers, who greeted him, struck a popular chord. They had suggested that he might? be afraid to be stopped. "No, indeed," he replied; "you men are NEEDS OF OREGON Presented at Mass Meeting in Marquam Theater. THREE PERTINENT ADDRESSES (Concluded on Second "Page.)

Locomotion, the key to the activity cf the modern world, depends chiefly upon ccal. Even where electricity Is used, the combustion of coal, In most cases, supplies the primary power. We have in Oregon and throughout our Pacific states unusual opportunities In water power, convertible Into electric energy: and, as yet we have scarcely touched this source of power sup ply. But electric power, so generated, cannot come Into use for all purposes. We hase many great water powers, which it would be co3tly to bring under contribution for general needs, and cost of electric transmission is a serious prob lem. Coal, for generation of steam. Is cheap material, and the machinery for its use Is simple and easily applied. For navigation It Is indispensable. Every port must have a cheap and abundant supply of coal. Why Coal Is Necessary. Coal Is alike necessary as a fuel for do mestic use, for steam power, both In di rect application and as the one universal basis of electrical power: It Is the sine qua non of steam navigation, which will always be the primary force of Interna tional commerce; It is Indispensable tv railway operation, on which domestic commerce laregly depends.

Buffalo has a Pan-American Exposition. Charleston Is making: preparations to open an exposition soon. St. Louis has just broken ground for Its exposition In 1903. But this is not all. Portland, Or., proposes to open in 1905 an exposition to celebrate the 100th anniver sary of the exploration of the Northwestern region. It Is to be called the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and its promoters hope that not only the states of the Pacific Northwest, but British Columbia and the Orient will become actively Interested in the project. At first glance the people of our common country, who have been surfeited with expositions of late, and who are still expected., to display more or less enthusiasm toward expositions yet to come, may be inclined to deprecate Portland's undertaking. But there are some reasons why Portland's ambition to hold an exposition is perfectly reasonable. Portland Is one of the strong cities of the far West. It Is known as the "solid city" of the Pacific Slope. There is said to be more wealth In Portland than In any other city of Its size In America. It is the financial, If not the commercial, metropolis of the great Puget Sound region. By the fastest train service ever operated be tween the Northwest Coast and the Great Lakes Portland Is 72, hours from Chicago. Only a small percentage of people living east of the Rocky Mountains have even a fairly intelligent Idea of the country surrounding Portland, of its wonderful resources, of Its'wealth, of Its people, of Its possibilities. The Pacific Northwest Is an empire in itself, and Portland Is Its chief city. This can be said without any disparagement of Seattle, Tacoma or Spokane. If an exposition in Portland will attract the people of the territory that extends from the Willamette Valley to the Klondike and from the Rocky Mountain range to the Pacific, It Is bound to be a success, even though the people of the rest of the country Ignore it. Historically and politically the event which the exposition Is In tended to commemorate was one of the most Important In the records, of the 2tfatl6n. President Jefferson sent out an expedition In 104 headed by Captain William Clark to explore from the Mississippi north of St. Louis to the Pacific Coast. This expedition opened the door for the first time to the setttlement and development of the great region which was then a dead blank on the map of North America. The reports which Lewis and Clark made concerning the large and navigably rivers, the fertile prairies, the vast forests, the mineral de posits, an'd the salubrious climate in the territory lying along the Oregon, now the Columbia, Inspired the early pioneers, fur traders and adventurers to penetrate the wilderness beyond, the Mississippi. It has required many years and untold hardships to bring the Northwest under subjection, but every prophecy made by Lewis and Clark and those who followed them has been more than fulfilled. If there is justification for another exposition anywhere In this coun try, the proposed Portland Exposition is justified. o o - stantlal citizens eager for information and ready to profit from practical suggestions. The addresses were attentively listened to and frequently applauded. Among the men on the stage were: Mayor Rowe, Hon. George H. Williams, W. D. Fenton, H. C. Breeden, B. I. Cohen, Raleigh Stott, W. B, Smith. W. L. Boise, oJhn McCrak en, Seneca Smith, Donald Mackay, A. H. Tanner, W. S. Dunlway, C. A. Cogswell, George Lawrence, A. R. Strachan, Hy Ellers and S. H. Gruber. President Samuel Connell. f the Board of Trade, presided. After an orchestral selection he made a brief Introductory statement set ting forth that the purpose of the meet ing was to get a discussion upon the chief needs of the community. In order that the people might be stirred to greater activ ity In the use of their advantages. He In troduced as the first speaker H. W. Scott, who spoke as follows: PORTLAND'S FUEL PROBLEM. There's Plenty of Good Coal to he Had We Mast Get It. Mr. Chairman, this is not my place on the programme. Speakers who were to precede me have not appeared. I am like the boy at the Sunday school who was called on to answer a question which was not his. The boy who was to precede him was not In his place. So the question came to the second boy, "Who made you?" The little fellow spoke up quickly: "I was made of the dust of the earth. The boy what God made took the colic and went home." In like manner, I am out of my place on this programme. Governor Geer was to be here. I regret his absence. He was to speak on the needs of Oregon, one of which, In his judgment, Is want of population. More population Is, Indeed, a prime need. You may remember how the author of 'IThe Vicar of Wakefield" begins that interest ing tale. "I have often thought," said he, "that the man who takes a wife and rears a family Is a greater benefactor of the state than he who remains unmarried and merely talks of population." I don't Intend this as any reflection on Governor Geer, who not long ago took a wife; which, however, probably Is not the rea son why he Isn't here. They tell me the time of holding this meeting was changed, and he couldn't come, as he had at first Intended. I am to speak tonight on a subject about which there can be no difference of opin ion. I am tc speak of the need of fuel, and especially of Its need to Portland. By fuel we mean coal and oil, for In coal and oil we have fuel In its concentrated and most available forms. Coal Is king of the forces of an industrial civilization. Oil In many localities Is available, but It is not probable that oil will ever come into very general use. The same may be said of natural gas, whose service as fuel, though It has been considerable, seems to have passed the highest point of availability and supply. There is rea son to delieve that oil exists In many parts of Oregon and Washington, and search for It Is In. progress" over a wide extent of country. But our main reliance must be coal.' It Is coal that we must search for; it is coal we must have. Do what we will or may, we can make no great advance without It. Without coal no great modern city could be built;" without coal of cities from center to circumference and back again: It operates a grent part of the factories of the civilized world: It makes possible tall buildings, elevated railways and the assemblage of popula tion In the great cities. Deprived of coal, London and New York, and smaller cit ies where Industrial and commercial en ergy has been extensively developed, would fall back Into Insignificance. We need not stop now to forecast the day when the coal of the world, the deposits of preceding ages, shall have been used up. That day, Indeed, may come: but the coal of the world will last our time, and times longer. Our problem at Portland is to get at the coal. Without an abundant supply of cheap coal Portland can never develop into a great Industrial and commercial city. But with such supply everything Is possible for Portland. What now are the reasonable prospects of the cbtalnment of an adequate and cheap supply at Portland? Let me say that I consider the prospects very good, and I shall now lay before you some of the facts on which I base this opinion. Coal fields of greater or less extent and richness lie on all sides of Portland. But divided interests, or lack of capital, or of expert knowledge, or of confidence In the outcome of investments for the de velopment of coal mines, or all these rea sons together, have operated to prevent putting a satisfactory coal In the Port land market at a satisfactory price. We now Import coal from Australia and Brit ish Columbia, and also use the product from Rock Springs mines in Wyoming, Coos Bay mines in Oregon, and Puget Sound and Roslyn mines in Washington. Railroads and steamships are the chief consumers of this coal. There Is now no domestic coal on this market that is satisfactory for general domestic or man ufacturing purposes, and that Is the fuel we stand greatly In need of. Wood Is not a cheap fuel at present prices, and there Is no probability that it will ever be cheaper. But from all parts of Oregon and from adjacent parts of the State of Washington come reports of coal meas ures that ought to solve the fuel problem here. A good deal of development work Is In progress with promise of attaining to results that shall be of the highest Importance to this community. Most Common of Onr Minerals. Coal Is one of the most common miner als of Oregon. It Is found at Coos Bay, In the Umpqua "Valley, In Lincoln County near Yaqulna Bay, in Tillamook County near Nehalem Bay. In Columbia County on the upper courses of the Nehalem River and In the Scappoose divide near the Multnomah County boundary. It 13 found In Clatsop County within a few rods of river and railroad. In Washington, Yamhill, Clackamas and Crook Counties, In the upper valley of the John Day Riv er, and In the divide at the southern edge of Morrow County. In the southern part of Umatilla County are also promising coal outcropplngs, and In the hills near the headwaters of the Grand Ronde River of Union County. At the mouth of that stream, In the angle betwen It and the Snake River, Is an extensive bed of ex cellent coal, but remoteness from trans portation discourages Its development, and the' country Is a difficult one to reach VIEWS OF DOCTORS The President's Condition Is Highly Satisfactory. SOME NOURISHMENT WAS GIVEN (Continued on Eighth Page.) All Possibility of Complications Can not Be Said to Be Past tor a Weelc The Patient Can Then be Re yarded as Convalescent. MILBURN HOUSE. BUFFALO, Sept. D. Dr. McBurney said to an Associateo Press representative, on the Issuance of the 3 o'clock bulletin. thaC all the Indi cations continued favorable- "No bad symptoms have appeared." said he. "No one can say now that tha Pres dent Is out of danger, and for a week still the possibility of complications may exist. At the end of that time. If all goes well, we may be able to sy that he la convalescent." "But I have known cases," put in Dr. Mann, who was wlt'h. the noted surgeon, "to gn welt for 10 days and than chango for the worse." "That Is true, perhaps." saW Dr. Mc Burney, somewhat deprecatlngly, "but It is entirely unusual. If the President continues to improve for a week," he continued, "we may safely say he Is a convalescent. It will probably be three weeks before It will be safe to move him. We must wait until the outer wound J3 healed and strong. The Inner wounds, through t'he stomach proper, will be strong before the exterior wound Is. How long It will be before he will be able to sit up will depend upon the rapidity of his Improvement, and I may say to you further that his Improvement, if it con tinues, prom'ses to be rapid."" Dr. McBurnev was asked to compare the Garfield case and the treatment with that of President McKinley. H smiled, an he replied to do so would be to give the whole history of the progress of sur gery in . .e last 20 years. "Besides," h said, "the cases are utterly different. Gar 'licld's wound was an extremely unfortu nate one In every way. It? was difficult to har.dle. It was Impossible to get at the bullet, while the wound of President Mc Kinley Is in many respect 3 a lucky one. No comparison Is possible." Turning to the Associated Press repre sentative. Dr. McBurney said: "You may assure your clientele that alT goes well. President MeKInlejf'a con dition could have hardly been more satis factory. Furthermore, yeu may impress and emphasize the fact that the bulletins Issued stote the truth." Dr. Mann said that some nourishment had been administered today in the form of enema, and President McKinley had taken water In the stomach. It was found that co wafer did not agree with him, and Instead, water as hot as the Presl dent can bear It Is now being admin istered. The bowels have moved freely today, and this is considered an excellent symptom. Statement of Dr. Mann. Dr. M. D. Mann, who has Dr. McBurney as a gue3t, was seen after the laet con sultation tonight. He said: "I am gratified at the excellent showing made by the President, and the remarka ble manner in which the case Is progress ing. I feel that, although the danger point Is by no means passed yet, every day that goes by without any unfavor able sign Is a distinct and deelded gain toward recovery.
