Buffalo, Sept. 9.—Through a quiet, peaceful Sunday every word that came from the big vine-clad house in Dela ware avenue, in which the stricken Chief Magistrate of the Nation lies battling for life, was reassuring and tonight the chances of his recovery are so greatly improved that all of those who have kept the patient vigil at his bedside feel strongly that his life will be spared. The developments of last night and today were dreaded, but hour after hour passed and the distinguished pa- j tient, struggling there beneath the watchful eyes of physicians and train ed nurses, showed no unfavorable signs. Five times during the day the doctors and surgeons assembled for consultation, and each time the verdict was unanimous that what ! change had occurred was for the bet- I ter. Not the slightest premonitory symp tom of peritonitis appeared and the fresh hope, born with the morning, grew stronger and stronger as the day advanced, until, toward evening, the confidence expressed In the Presi dent’s recovery seemed almost too sanguine.

Amalgamated Association adjourned this evening without date and without accepting any of the peace propositions that have come indirectly from the United States Steel Corporation, or making any counter propositions, ac cording to the official statement. 3 he semi-official report is that the propo sition secured for the Amalgamated Association, through the intervention of the representatives of the National Civic Federation, was unsatisfactory, and that the matter of settling and ar ranging was left for Mr. Shaffer. The board, in its sessions of three days, has been clamoring for a settlement, but satisfactory terms and means were net at hand, and the sessions resolved themselves into an informal discus sion of the situation. At the close ot the meeting of the National executive board this evening, President Shaffe. declared he had no statement to make, but subsequently said: “The board has adjourned, and the out-of-town members will probably leave for their homes tonight. No peace proposition has been received and none made.” Still later he added that he nor no other member of the board would go to New York during the night to sub mit a peace proposition, saying he would be at headquarters as usual to morrow. The meeting of the board did not adjourn in high good feeling, yet the members of the board were averse to making statements supplemental to that of President Shaffer. It was stated by some of the members of the board that the adjournment had left matters practically as they were before the meeting had been called, and that the strike must go on as before, leaving arrangements for a possible settlement through the direct conference of the representatives of the United States Steel Corporation with President Shaf fer.
