Tho report describes tho operation
In all its technical minutiae. The nt- i
most care was used to prevent in fee-J
a ion of the abdominal cavity and of
the wound hy the most approved modern
methods of siirrio.nl cleanliness.
The wounds In the siomaoh were su
luted with silk, using double rows of
stitches. The application of these
stitches was accompanied by grout
difficulties.
Tho chief trouble was tho depth of
the ahdoniitral cavity, the lack of instruments
to draw the edges of the
wound apart and the lack of good
light. Of the search for the Intllef
the report says:
"The operai ion on the stomach nnn
being finished. Dr. Mann introduced
his :i ,11 so :is In palpate carefully nil
the il-vp structures behind tlio stomach..
No trn< (> of the bullet, or of the
fnribir truck of the bullet, eoultl be
found." Further search might have
cause.i the <lenth of the patient upon
the ojiernlinu table.
<'n In- llfih <lay. September 10. took
place the much-discussed removal o?
stitches from the wound in the abdominal
wall. The report "states: "In
Ihe evening the dressings were examined.
and, as there was considerable
stninit ? from the discharges, it was
Xhottgl.t best to remove four stilcltes
and (? separate the edges of the 1
wound A 1 ii ilc slough was observed
near the hulle', fack, covering a space
nearly an Inch wide, the thickness of
tit" tlav. The sunpuratlon seemed to
extend down 1o the muscle. Tlie rcluaituh
ef the wound looked healthy,
rttd it was lltoughl that the Infection
was dt > to the bullet or to a piece of
elotlsin:* which liad been carried Into
the wound."
<> 1 t! .? fifth da;- the President sipped
111 i water; on the sixth he had beef
Juice, the first food taken by mouth
since the operation. In the meantime
nntritiv? enemas were continued, but
>. ? i? inn >ven reiaineo. At JS.MO in
tlie moaning of the seventh day he
was allowed ehieken broth. a very
small piece of toast and a small cup
of coffee. lie did not rare for the
toast. and ate scarcely any of it.
The wound had In the meanwhile
doing very well, and had been
Iressed daily after the removal of the !
stitches and tlie sloughing tissue. The
President seemed at his best, and a
favorably result was now eontldently
predicted. There was no sign of blood
poisoning or of ln.Mntnnmtlon of the
Veriloneum.
tin the seventh day, toward uoon. >
the pulse began to grow weaker, and ;
grew rapidly worse. Stimulants were
given and the food was discontinued,
while castor oil and an enema of oi
gall were given to move the bowels.
At midnight there was some improvement
in the pulse, after an injection
of salt solution Into tin* subcutaneous
t issues.
t)n tlie eighth day the condition of
the President was described as very
serious, as ho did not respond to stimulation.
Stimulants ami injections of
salt solution, coffee, and broth were
given, lint without much effect. At f?
o'clock oxygen was given and contin- |
tied for Fotno hours. At 6.30 tlie President
was restless, at 10 p. in. lie lost j
consciousness and continued to sink '
utiiil In- died at 11.15 a. in., on Septem- j
lor 14.
I?r. tlnyiprd's report of the autopsy
is lengthy ami detailed. Nothing of
importance was noticed about the
wound on the chest caused by the lirst
Mini. except 1 lint ilu* area of vkin affected
was found to lit* discolored,
greenish yellow and mottled, and that
1'ere was a hemorrhage Into the fat
under the skin beneath this area. The
abdominal wound showed no evidence
of necrosis or sloughing. No intlninitiation
of the peritoneum was found.
The gangrenous cavity found behind i
the stomach involved the pancreas
and the surrounding loose tissues, the
bottom of the blind pocket being
formed by the upper end of the lef.
kidney, which was found to be lacerated
at that point to the extent of
about two centimetres.
(Examination of the heart muscle
showed that it was affected with well
marked fatty degeneration, and in
some places the muscle til ires showed
groups of dark brown granules, demonstrating
a diseased condition of the
cardiac muscle.
I?r. (Inyiord believes that the repair
to tiie stomach wounds had been effective
and that the gangrene around
these wounds does not seem to have
been the result of any well defined
cause. lie attributes the gangrenous
condition of the tissues solely to low-1
ered vitality in the parts. The a^- j
|M*arance of the gangrenous tissues j
shows that the gangrene took place'
shortly before death.

for the fiscal year on<11 tip Juno
ao. l'tret. liavo boon made public. They
are lnrper by about $21,000,000 than
the appropriation for the current year.
Secretary Long saiil In speaking of bis
nlaus for naval extension, that lie
would propose nil increase over Inst
year of one battleship, making the extension
plan provide for three battleships
and two armored cruisers. The
authorization given last year was for
two battleships and two cruisers. Mr.
Long believes that Congress, in calling
upon him for his views about the new
ships. di?l not limit him to the submission
of but one plan for each type
of vessel, lie will therefore present a
number of plans, varying in their arrangement
of turrets and batteries,
lie will also recommend the constellation
of a number of small gunboats.
Tlte estimates for 1003 amount t<>
$hS.'.110,0X4.01. v.Tilo the appropriations
lor 11)011 amounted to $77.0114,r?;;r>.*?0.
The largest single increase is
in the estimate for public works i:i the
l'ureau of Yards and Docks. Last
year. $0,775,010 was appropriated for
this purpose. The new estimate is for
$120,038,375. The new items amount to
$io.ois,375.
Last year $.1,000,00") was appropriated
for the Naval Academy. This
year only $1,000,00:) is asked for. For
the pay of the navy, the increase is
$1,-07,015 over last year. For public
works in the Bureau of Ordnance,
$318,100 was appropriated last year,
ami $J,457.300 is now asked for. The
appropriation for the Naval Militia is

amount estimated for any yard.

it got $7.:it;t?,SJ!.2r?. Included in this
is an estimate of $."0,000 for improving;

This is just double what was
appropriated for the same purpose this
year. Tho bureau also wants to put
in a new steel derrick barge at the
New York yard, to cost $3o.tt00. The
Marine Corps wants $3ii00 appropriated
for electric light at New York.
The placing of some of our new possessions
under naval control has resulted
in the inclusion among the estimates
of a number of beuis which
read strangely in a naval estimate. For
example, the lJureau of Yards and
Docks Includes in its estimate the
pay, of two school teachers to be appointed
at Tutuila. Samoa. They are

bureau's estimate for ('.nam are one
Deputy Collector of Customs and
crew, at $1-00, and one Judge of the
Court of First Instance, at $2000. a
telephone system is to lie put in at
Tutuila, to cost $2uou. The llurcau of
Yards and Docks wants $5000 for a
schoclhouse, hooks, furniture, and other
equipment.
At C.'ivite $12,000 is wanted for a
fire-protection .system, and $300.00(1 for
a refrigerating plant. The estimates
for the new naval station at Olongapo,
Philippine Islands, amount to $1,1-13,000.
A naval hospital at Canacao,
