London, Tuesday.
Mr. Roosevelt will be able, if< suffi
ciently recorered. to address a meeting
in 2few York on October 2Gth. He ate
a hearty breakfast this morning.
All the newspapers comment on his
extraordinary nerve in addressing a
meeting' while he -was wounded. He slept
soundly all night. The physicians are
agreed that there .is a danger of blood
poisoning. The bullet was fired from a.
rusty revolver, and. entered the tenth
rib.
Beginning his speech he said:—
" Boys, this may be my last message. I
am going to deliver it," even it I die."
Telegrams of sympathy are pouring
in. The bullet is four inches deep. There
has been no operation yet. The wound
is so severe as to demand rest for a
number of days. , -? -.
Sebrank states he began to consider
that Boosevelt -was a menace. He fol
lowed him all round, and at last got a
shot yesterday. He pleaded guilty in
the District Court, and -was remanded
on £1000 bail to the next Municipal
Court held on December 10th.
Schrank's acquaintances state that
they are not surprised at the attempt.
They said be had often declared tnat
Roosevelt was the greatest menace to-
Kew York. -
Mr. Taft sent a .message saying that
he was greatly shocked at the out
rageons and deplorable assault, and
would earnestly hope and pray for his
recovery. '
