St. Petersburg, Oct. 23. The condi

Roosevelt Wanted to Enjoy His Home
in Quietude Last Evening.
Oyster Bay. X. V., Oct. 23. The quiet
routine of life at Sagamore Dill was
picked up again by Colonel Roosevelt
and his family yesterday as though it
had not been interrupted by the tiring
of a bullet meant to kill the master of
the house.
For the first time since he was shot in
Milwaukee eight , days ago Colonel
Roosevelt was unattended last night by
a physician. There was no one in the
house except members of the family and
servants and the colonel spoke hopefully
of being able, after one day more of
rest, gradually to resume his work.
y. Except for the fact that Colonel
T Roosevelt was in bed last evening in
stead of at work in his library, there
was nothing to suggest that anything
out of the ordinary had occurred.
Four physicians came with the colo
nel on hiB arrival at Oyster Bay from
Chicago yesterday, and after they
bad dressed his wound they told him
that the one essential was complete rest.
If their directions are observed, it is
believed that the ex-president's com
plete recovery is probable, although it
cannot yet be said that he is entirely
out of danger.. .
Dr. Alexander Lambert and Dr. Scurry
Terrell, Who accompanied Colonel Roose
velt from Chicago, were joined in Xew
York by Dr. Joseph A. Blake and Dr.
Oeorge E. Brewer. After examining the
patient, they said that the wound was
still wide open, spoke of the possibility
of infection and added they were unable
to say whether it would he possible for
biin to take up the work of the cam-
puign.
Colonel Roosevelt said, when his
wound had been dressed, that there was
no longer the need of constant supervis
ion of physicians, because he was "all
right." , The physicians were doubtful
at first whether he should be left alone,
and it was suggested that one of their
number remain at Sagamore Hill. But
the colonel insisted that it was unneces
sary, and the physicians' concluded it
would be wisest to accede to his wishes.
Danger of a sudden change in his con
dition being remote, it was thought
that the colonel would make more rapid
progress toward recovery if he were left
alone with his family without sugges
tion of anything other than the usual
conditions which surround his life at
Sagamore Hill. The physicians all went
to Xew York and said that they would
return until this afternoon. Their de
cision was regarded by Colonel Roose
velt's friends as an indication of his
improved condition.
Refreshed by Long Sleep.
A long night's sleep largely offset the
trip from Chicago, and the patient was
greatly refreshed when he awoke this
morning. Col. Roosevelt at once de
clared he was hungry and breakfast was
. served an hour ahead of the usual time.
Roosevelt expected to sit up several
hours to-day, but word went out that no
visitors were to be permitted to see him.
His physicians have told him that he
must see no one till Thursday, and upon
bis obedience to this order denend bin I
cdisnce of resuming campaign work
later.
.Tames Amos or "Jim' as the colonel
calls bis negro butler, is acting as nurse,
under the direction of Mrs. Roosevelt.
He has lieen with the colonel so long
tht be is able to anticipate his wants
and care for him more satisfactorily
than almost any one els except Mrs.
Roosevelt herself.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's friends
(were solHtous for his safety at Saga
more Hill and insisted that be should
be protected against the possibility of
another attack, but the colonel would
not hear of a personal guard, and had
only his family and the servants about
bim last night.
Although his physician would make
no promises. Colonel Roosevelt was con- i
ft. lent that, he would soon be back in '
the campaijni. at least to the extent of i
exercising general direction. He ex
pressed his intention of going to Madi
son Squar Oarden. New York, to speak
on Octolter 3d. even if he had strength to
any only a few sentence, and after an
other day of rest expects to begin
preparation of an addres of half an
hour's length. He hopes aUo to loll
short conference with Sena, r Dixon.
fJcorge W. Perkins and a few other pro
gressive leaders on Thursday.
An instance of the fi ielity with which
the physicians orders against visitors
ii lieing enforced was furnished when
Win. H. Hotcbkiss, chairman of the
state Progressive psrty. rime to Oyster
Bay to see the colonel. Mr. Hoteiikis
got by the guards, but w baited at
the residency itself. Colonel Roosevelt
rnt out his regret that be was not
able to receive the Mate chairman, and
mad an appointment for a conference
Thursday.

by the soldiers with fixed bayonets, and
the races were called off.
The troops also halted all spectators
