ROOSEVELT'S WOUND.

BULLET NOT EXTRACTED. PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT. By Telegraph— Press Association.—CopyriffJU New York, Thursday. Ex-President Roosevelt's condition was satisfactory to-day. Mrs Roosevelt and other members of his family have arrived. No apprehension is felt as to his ultimate recovery.

Mr Roosevelt had an easy night last night until midnight, when he became restless.

The doctors admit that the wound is more serious than at first thought. An eariler message stated that there was no cause for anxiety and that Mr Roosevelt was likely to be confined to his room for only a couple of weeks. Extraordinary precautions are being taken to protect President Taft, and everywhere the Secret Service squad has been doubled.

A large force of police was outside the theatre which President Taft attended.

The estates which the Government has purchased in Hawke's Bay will be "taken delivery of" in March. They are the following: Ngaroto, from Mr H. Hartree, 10,000 acres and an adjoining property; Waihau, from Mr Mcßae Peacock, GOOO acres in Pukepapu riding; Sheridan, from Mr Lethbridge, 8300 acres and an adjoining property; Tunanui, 2000 acres, from Mr Hoidley, in Okawa riding. The land is classed as pastoral. It is not expected that it will be suitable for dairying purposes. Ngaroto and Waihau are described as well watered. Sheridan and Tunanui are not so well watered with running streams, and dams will probably be required.
