Buffalo, Sept. 9. Attorn-? General Knox and Postmaster General Smith came from the Milburn house at L':43. They were highly pleased at the outlook as Dr. Rixey, who is con stantly with the president, told Mr. Knox that when the other physicians came for the three o'clock consultation they would be delighted with the situation. Milburn House, Buffalo, x. Y., Sept. 9- President McKinley's condition is so favorable that it has dispelled almost the last shadow of doubt and apprehen sion and has led those nearest him to make the; most confident predictions of his recovery. The official bulletins from the physicians as well as the authorita tive statements f those in most inti mate relations with the presidential household give certainty to the feeling that the worst phases of the crisis are about over. There is a marked improve ment in the pulse and temperature. Aside from these pathological features, the doctors give the cheering- informa tion free from all technicalities of sci ence, that the president's condition was becoming- more and more satisfactory and untoward complications are becom ing less likely. Besides their official signed utterances, the doctors save in dividual expressions re-enfi ircing the buoyant and confident tone. They made w lie president s mind was clear, his mental faculties as vig orous as ever and that he retained his cheerful, happy disposition. He wa, even ready to talk with the doctors but they restrained him to a considerable extent. These positive assurances gave to the members of the cabinet and to the rt!a. nves ana nearest friends of the dent, a feeling- of confidence- lirtl. presi- short ot absolute certainty that the president now wen on the way to recovery. n.iouL e.xcepuon tnose who came from the Unburn house expressed this same confident view. Among those who called to receive the good news and to repeat It to the many anxious watchers were Attorney General Knox. Secretary Wil son, Postmaster General Charles Emory Srnith, Senator Hanna.Abner MeKinley Myron T. Herrick. Senator Fairbanks' Comptroller Dawes and many others holding the closest relations with the president. ROOSEVELT 13 POSITIVE. "I may say that I have even deeper Information, than the bulletins, and I iri,i., ran L t n That the Live Is Confident 's Recovery. ag-ain pnv with great confidence that the president will reivver." The foregoing- statement was made today by Vice President Roosevelt in the course of an interview with an As sociated Press correspondent while walking to Milburn house. He reiterated the statement after he had had a ten minute visit with; the physicians. The vice president did not leave the Wilcox mansion, where he is staying:, until after the noon hour, and then he walked the mile to the presidential quarters in company with a corre spondent of the Associated Press. Just after he had left the mansion he was accosted by a colored man who was raking a lawn. "Governor, may I shake hands with you," he said. "You certainly may," answered the vice president. turning quickly am grasping his hand; and then as two laborers with dinner pails and tools slipped up, he shook hands with them. "Ain't you afraid to be shot?" asked one of the men. "No, sir." he snapped out: "and I hope no official of this country will be ever afraid. You men are our protec tion, and the foul deed done the af ternoon of Friday will only make you the more vigorous in your protection of the lives of those whom you select to office. Such men as you can work with the ballot the salvation of the country without resort to violence." As he walked on the vice president discussed the case of the president and his condition. He said: "I believe that the bulletins being is sued are none too sanguine. In fact. I know they are not. I am perfectly pos itive that the president will recover, and more than that I believe the ill ness will be brief and the recovery rapid. I had two men and a relative shot in the same manner in the Cuban campaign. They lay in the marshes for some time without attendance, and yet they recovered." HB MOVES CXAIDED. As indicating the growing strength of the president the following incident of the morning is related by one of those inside the Milburn house familiar with the facts. Mr. McKinley has been lying- for a long time in one position but during this morning he asked if he could change this position. The doctors in attendance gave their assent, where upon tlie president changed his posi tion by his own effort without diffi culty and without pain. secretary orteiyou remained near the president throughout the early hours of the day and then come out to get a breath of air. The secretary has been among the very few admitted within the sick room, even the members of the cabinet and others close to Mr. the chamber where the president lies. Mr. Cortelyou shared in the feeiing of satisfaction caused by the bulletin, but beyond that he would give no pub lic statement on the situation. Several others who have been at the Milburn house constantly came out for a rest W A 0 U La b u L m him 17

Li H 1 La U and one of these who had exceptional opportunity for observation made the following general remarks: "It is too early to say that the very last element of danger is passed. An other 2 hours will probably be suffi cient to permit a conclusive judgment to be formed. There has not been a word said among the doctors today as to another operation. It appears to be accepted that in the present progressive stage it is not tirjie to consider, an op eration." It is noticed that this statement sus pends final judgment for another LEON CZ0LG0SZ, The Man Who Shot hours, and is a more conservative view of the situation than that so frequently voiced during the forenoon. mhs. Mckinley takes a drive. Mrs. McKinley started for a drive at 2:30. She was accompanied by Mrs. Lafayette McWilliams. The absence of the president's wife from the house gave assurance that the conditions were not such as to excite any alarm. Milburn House. Buffalo, X. Y.. Sept. 9. President McKinley has gone through the early part of the crisis in his case without material sacrifice of 1 strength or the appearance of danger ous symptoms. There was an unsatis factory note in the first bulletin of the morning which stated that the presi dent had passed a restless night. Some consolation was drawn from the state ment that the sufferer had slept fairly well, but the general effect of the bulle tin was to break down some of the pre vailing optimism and create fresh anxiety as to immediate -developments in the case. The circumstances of the previous day had been favorable and the popular anticipation was that the tidings from the sick room would con tinue to be encouraging. The bulletin created a feeling of uneasiness that seemed to be shared by all who read it. It was known that the patient was well within the crisis, and the fear was created that the restlessness was the forerunner of some of the dire things feared as possible results of the wounds. It was also pointed out that it was one of the few unfavorable things said by the official bulletins, and several disturbing rumors were put in circulation. The general state of the sufferer remains unchanged, however. Shortly after eight o'clock the doctors who had not taken part in the all night vigil began to arrive. Dr. Wasdin, the m;irine hospital specialist, was the first to reach the house, and joined Dr. Rixey, who has remained at the presi dent's bedside practically throughout the night. Dr. Park came at 8:15 and it was apparent that the morning con sultation of all the physicians soon would be held. At this time all was tiuiet about the Milburn household ex cept for the coming of the doctors. Secretary Cortelyou, who had been on duty on and off all the night, was catch ing a little needed rest in an upper chamber, and the regular force of house attendants had not yet come on duty. Aside from the pathological condi tions of the case, circumstances today were favorable for the patient. It was an ideal September day with bracing air. moderate temperature, and a light breeze blowing over the entrance to the Miiburn house. The sun shone bright most of the time with now and then the shadows of light, fleecy clouds. The physicians were quick to note these ex ternal conditions for they contributed greatly to the comfort of the patient and gave assurance against the depres sion of extreme heat or inclement weather. The morning consultation of the phy sicians brought out that the condition of tlie president was entirely satisfac tory and as they came away from the house they expressed renewed confi dence in his recovery. It was stated that the official bulletin which was be ing prepared would show a gratifying condition. DANGER POINT STILL AHEAD. The doctors began assembling about 8 o'clock and it was 9:15 before any rf them came away from The Milburvi house. Pending their conferences there was an anxious wait. Several visitors arrived, including ex-Postmaster Gen eral Bissell and Charles P Sanger. Mr. Bissell was one of the first to emerge from the house after th doctors had completed their consultation, and in a general way he summarized the situ ation by saying that tue conditions were favorable, although he had no de tails. A few moments later Dr. Ros well Park and Secretary Wilson came out together. Dr. Park answered the many inquiries with a cheerful and very positive assurance of confidence. "The situation is entirely satisfactory," said he, "and there are no symptoms to cause alarm. He was asked if the earlier bulletin referring to the president's "somewhat restless night" warranted any appre hension. "Not in the least." he replied. "It is entirely natural that a patient In the president s condition should have some periods of restlessness. But he is re ceiving no anesthetics. He is fully conscious at all times when he is awake and his mind is clear. When asked if the president conversed with those about him, the doctor said the patient was quite able to talk, and did so as far as the physicians permitted, al though they were reluctant to permit him to sap any of his energy i:i this way. Secretary W ilson, who moved on down Delaware avenue while Dr. Park was talking to the newspt per men, was overjoyed with the word which the physicians had bi ought from the sick room. "The president will get weli, he said, several limes. "I feel it. and T am sure the doctors now feel it. Of course, the danger point has not been parsed, but the continued absence of unfavorable symptoms strengthens our hope. The period for peritonitis to ap- President McKinley. pear is rapidly passing way, and there is no sign of inflammation. The promptness with which the operation was performed and the skill with which it was accomplished are telling their story. "The tissues were sutured soi quickly that they probably began to heal imme diately. The president's good health and the long life of careful living be hind him are in his favor, but above all his indomitable will and his fine cour age are the factors counted upon to pull him through. He has made up his mind to live and live he will. The rise in his temperature during the night was somewhat disturbing, but his febrile con dition is better this morning and our hopes continue in the ascendant. The fact that his slumber during the nignt was restless is not to be wondered at. All the conditions under which he is living are abnormal. The water and li quid nourishment which he is receiving are being administered hypodermically and this fact alone would account for his restlessness." Dr. Hermann Mynter came from the Milburn house at 9:30 o'clock. He said to the Associated Press: "Everything is satisfactory. Everv hour that passes with no decidedly un favorable results is encouraging and in dicates recovery." Dr. Eugene Wasdin, another of the consultation staff, emerged from the house a few minutes later. He said: "There are no distressing symptoms. The restlessness of the patient during th night is not serious and is to be ex pected when it is understood that he slept during the day yesterday." Abner McKinley, brother of the presi dent arrived at the house of Mr. Mi!-, burn at 10:05 and was immediately ad mitted. Senator Fairbanks and Comptroller of the Currency Dawes came from the house together and their smiling faces indicated the satisfaction prevailing among those nearest the president. "Splendid, splendid," said Senator Fairbanks referring to the doctor's last report. Just then Abner McKinley and several friends arrived and there was an interesting group on the lawn with the tall figure of Senator Fairbanks in the center and Messrs. McKinley and Dawes on either side. The good news from the sick room was imparted to the president's brother and ail joined in heartfelt expressions of relief. Intense anxiety had been felt on the outcome of the coming conference and these lifted a great load of apprehension from those nearest and dearest to the presi dent, giving them greater courage than they had felt at any time. When"ib ner McKinley came from the house at 10:45 he repeated the expressions of confidence given by those who had pre ceded him, but added no new details on the situation. Senator Hanna drove up as Mr. Mc Kinley left. The senator seemed to be in a liappv frame of mind, as the satis factory bulletin had already reached him. When a number of photographers leveled their cameras at him. he smil ingly remarked: How many times a day do you fellows expect to do that to me?" The friend who accompanied Senator Hanna this morning proved to be Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland, one of the closest personal friends of the pres ident. He and the senator remained some time in the house. A friend of the senator who accom panied him answered the jocular com ment: "Instead of the camera, you had better put the X-rays on the senator." CABINET PREPARING TO LEAVE. Washington, Sept. 9. The most fav orable news yet received in Washington from Buffalo reached Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury Ailes this morning from Secretary Gage over the long dis tance telephone. The secretary said that the latest report of the physicians was eminently satisfactory and the president undoubted'!- would get well. Secretary Gage expects to return to Washington in a day or two and will be followed at intervals by other members of the cabinet. It is not expected that any of them with the possible exception of Secretary Hay will remain in Buf falo for any length of time. McBURNEY IS SATISFIED. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 9. Dr. McBur- ney is quoted this morning as saying: "The president is in an entirely sat isfactory condition. Complications to day are decidedly less likely to occur than yesterday." "You are not disturbed, then, over the. somewhat restless night?" "No. A man who has been shot is not to be expected to sleep quietly." HAY STARTS TO BUFFALO. Newbury, N. H., Sept. 9. Secretary of State John Hay left Newbury today for Buffalo. At Boston the secretary ex pected to meet his wife, who will ac company him to the end of his jour ney. NONE W'ILL OWN HIM. Cleveland, O., Sept. 9. The board of delegates to the Union of American congregations today issued a statement denying that Leon Czolgosz "is a He brew by birth" as was stated in resolu tions adopted at a meeting of Polish Americans in Philadelphia. SEARCHING FOR EMMA GOLDMAN. New Y'ork, Sept. 9. Detectives are searching for clues to the wherabouts of Emma Goldman. Leaders among the anarchists deny that she is in the citv. They assert that she is in hiding in St. Louis. ON WITH THE SHOW. Chicago, Sept. 9. The latest advices received from Buffalo by Commission' ers J. W. Templeton and E. A. Brund- age are to the effect that the president's condition is such that the plans of Illi nois day may be proceeded with. The commissioners today are in communi cation with Governor Yates and will announce definitely their actionthi3 ev ening. TO EXPEL CZOLGOSZ. Youngstown. O., Sept. 9. Steps are being taken by state officers of the Knights of the Golden Eagle in this city to expel from the order Leon Czolgosz, who entered the order at Cleveland un der the assumed name of Frederick Nie man. JOHN REDMOND CABLES SYMPA THY. London, Sept. 9. John Redmond, the Irish leader, cabled to Vice President Roosevelt today as follows: "In the name of the Irish Nationalist party. I send an expression of deepest sympathy. Ireland abiiors the dastardly crime." PRAYERS IN BERMUDA. Hamilton, Bermuda, Sept. 9. Prayers for the recovery of President McKinley were offered in the churches here yes terday. DENOUNCED BY BREWERS. Philadelphia, Sept. 9. The first business session of the United Brewery workers' convention was held here today. A res olution was adopted denouncing the at tempted assassination of President Mc Kinley. The important business to come before the convention is consideration of the threatened lockout of union men by the bre wers. THEY LET HER ESCAPE. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 9. Two of Chief Desmond's detectives were in the corri dor of the federal building today in the hope that Emma Goldman might possi bly return. While some of the postoffice officials think she may have gone to Chicago, where she directed that her letters be sent, others express the opin ion that she may have given the Chi cago address simply to throw the de tectives off her track. Under orders from Washington United States Secret Operative John E. Murphy is now tak ing active part in the hunt for Emma Goldman. Mr. Murphy consulted with the post office officials Sunday and Monday and issued an order stating that any mail for Emma Goldman be held. There is a feeling of marked disappointment throughout the federal building that Emma Goldman was in the local strong hold of the federal officials Saturday and escaped without even being recog nized. HANNA IS JUBILANT. Expt esses Greatest Satisfaction at President's Condition. Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 9. Sec retary Hitchcock and Senator Hanna emerged from the Milburn house short ly after noon. The senator appeared to be very jubilant. He stopped a mo ment before entering his automobile to express his great satisfaction at the president's condition. "Every bulletin is an improvement and the last is best of all. Of course last night was an anxious one, but the president passed in safety without a change for the worse. The crucial per iod will probably extend through an other day, possibly longer, but every hour now is a victory." "Is the president's mind clear?" "Clear as a bell," replied the senator promptly. "Does he talk?" "As much as he is allowed to," he answered smiling. "Mrs. McKinley was with the presi dent for some little time this morning," he added. "She is doing splendidly." Then with another admonition to the photographers Xo turn their batteries away he and Secretary Hitchcock climbed into the automobile and rode away to the Buffalo club. HUSBAND AND WIFE. Mrs. McKinley Makes a Brief Visit to the President. Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y.. Sept. 9. Mrs. McKinley was admitted to the sick room this mornintr and had a brief stay with her afflicted husband. The veil of domestic privacy is. of course thrown over the details of the meeting. Mrs. McKinley bore up well and dis played the same fortitude which has characterized her, as well as the presi dent since the tragic event occurred. Al though there have been statements that Mrs. McKinley has not been apprised of the manner in which the president is in jured it can be stated, positively, that she is fully aware that he was shot, al though tt has not been nVcessary to dwell upon the harrowing details of the affair. As much as possible she has been buoyed up by the encouraging at titude of the physicians and she iias re sponded by giving all her strength toward passing through the ordeal with calmness. ROOSEVELT WELL GUARDED. Secret Service Men Follow Wherever He Goes. Him New York, Sept. 9. A special to the World from Buffalo says: Although Vice President Roosevelt does not know it, the government has made more adequate provision for his protec tion than it did for that of President McKinley. Whenever the vice president leaves the residence of Lawyer Ansley Wilcox, where he is staying, there are two or three secret service men at hand to ward off any attempt that might be made on his life. The orders for the pro tection of the vice president come from some source that is not disclosed. During his attendance at services in the First Presbyterian church six secret ser vice men occupied seats within a short distance of him. One of them took a seat on the box of his carriage when he drove away and the other3 followed in another carriage. When he alighted at the Buffalo club during the afternoon the detectives were close at hand, and when he called at Mil- nurn House to inquire after the presi dents condition they were within a few xeet or mm. TALMAGE'S HOT WOK.DS. His Wish For the Blood of Czolgosz Is Applauded. New York. Sept. 9. In the course of his sermon at Ocean Grove, N. J.. yes terday Dr.T. DeWitt Talmage of Wash ington said: "I wish that policemen in Buffalo who secured the pistol of the scoundrel who shot our adored president, had tak the butt of the weapon and dashed the man's brains out on the spot." The ten thousand people in the auditorium ap plauded the sentiment. CRISIS ON TUESDAY. If Successfully Passed President Will Be Well in a Month- New York, Spet. 9. A special to the Tribune from Buffalo says: Dr. McBurney, who has joined the physicians in attendance on President McKinley. says that if the president keeps on improving the crisis will be passed on Tuesday, and that in three or four weeks' time he will be able to re sume his ordinary duties. "The president is nourished," said Dr. McBurney. "by injecting a proper amount of whisky, hot water and raw eggs. He is allowed a few swallows of water. He talks to us as we attend him and is clear headed al the time." "How long will it be before the crisis is reached?'' Dr. McBurney was asked. "Probably by Tuesday." said the doc tor. "That will allow a margin of 48 hours, and by that time we ought to be able to tell 'with a reasonable degree of certainty whether he is going to re cover. Peritonitis has not been devel oped. It will have developed by Tues day if it is going to come at all. Tha wounds have entirely closed. They were closed immediately after the operation. There has been no subsequent explora tion of the w ounds. The presumption ia now that the bullet is lodged in the muscles of the back. If it is lodged there it is harmless, and there is no need to take it out- The bullet has neither been seen nor felt since It entered the presi dent's body. But, judging from its di rection, ft is now lodged, as I befora said in the muscles of the back. There are no signs of the formation of pus. The only object in using the X-rays will be to determine the location and remov al of the bullet. If there are no sighs of trouble there will be no need of using the X-rays. The president is not beintf relieved by opiates. None have been used since Saturday and the doctors hope he will not have to take another." WOUNDS DESCRIBED. Dr. Edward Lee Who Assisted With Operation Tells of Bullet's Coiwse New Yoik, Sept. 9. The following was written by Dr. Edward Lee of St.Louis: t arrived in Buffalo Friday morning.

I saw from my informant's face that it was not a joke, and ran as rapidly as possible to the hospital, which was sur rounded by an immense crowd.

That He Alono Is Responsible For the Crime. IS A CLEVEIt FENCER. Gives Out No Information 10 yond His General Confession. Once Worked in a Lumber Camp and Talked Anarchy. Buffalo. Sept. 9. Czolgosz ha mini'' no admissions to the police officials, and nothing they have learned from from him has iided toward a solution of the criminal's side of the cas". He still insists that he alone conceived, planned and cmried out the crime, an I that be alone must a.iswer for it. He admits that he attended meetings at which Emma Ooldnmn spoke, and where he and his fellow anarchists dis cussed their propaganda of murder, but steadfastly denies that any of tlieru had a part in his plan. His talks with them were fairly general. He says h did not divulge to them any feature of his scheme to come here and kill the president. His statement on thai fea ture made on Sunday created tlie im pression that he aoknow ledge. 1 a.

John Sher wood, a well known lumberman, stat- s that Leon Czolgosz worked in a ce.lur camp near South Branch, Thunder lio'. river, two years ago.

Many sensa -tional reports are being circulatel about cabinet action looking to the ap prehension and prosecution of Kmm i Ooldman and leaders of anarchist or ganizations of myserious direction from the secretary of war to the chie-; of police here and of developments of a startling nature that are anticipated. The great majority of these reports I l the words of a c abinet officer are "man ufactured out of whole cloth." The question of the prosecution of Czolgosz, the cabinet are unanimously of the opinion is purely a local affao-. There is no government statute cover ins an assault on the president of t United States; in the eye of the law th crime of last Friday is merely a local offense committed against a private cit izen in violation of the laws of the sta" of New York and of Erie county.

Tucker would undoubtedly like to go back to Dawrenew and take the captain cy of the team. While h does not ac knowledge that fact, and insists that he w ill abide by the terms of his contract. It is an instance where "actions speak louder than words." The old love for his alma mater will not down, and it is a certainty that he would jump at the chance to lead the Jayhawkers this year. He was a candidate for the cap taincy last fall, but was beaten by Al gae by a clos vote. His return to K. C would do wonders for the eleven there. EDWARDS' NEW HOME. Has Taken TJp His Permanent Resi dence at Wichita. Kx-Secretary of State William C. Ed wards is now a permanent citizen of Wichita, says the Wichita Eagle. He became one at 8 o'clock yesterday morning' when he stepped from a Full man car at the Santa Fe depot. He is stopping at the Carey at present, but will buy or build a home at once, or as soon as he can get a building or property to suit him. He was accom panied by his wite and their bright young lady daughter. Miss Carrol. Mr. Edwards, in a sense, mad- a sac rifice in coming to Wichita. He had lived at Lamed for time out of mind, being one of the first settlers In Paw nee county. He made the sacrifice of long association with neighbors with whom his ties of friendship were strong. He also has large interests in Pawm-e county, larger, perhaps, than any other man in the county. Mr. Edwards selected Wichita for his permanent home for many reasons. The tirst of these perhaps is the fact ot his connection with the Orient ro id and the great future he sees for the city because of the advantages it will derive from Oib-nt friendship. List year when Mr. Edwards was in Wich ita submitting the Orient proposition he told a reporter for the Eagle pri vately that the Orient contemplated doing so much for Wichita that lie in tended locating here. He' has done so now, which amply proves his faith in the Orient's intention to make Wichita an important point. He also comes here on account of the superior educa tional advantages, being a great friend and admirer lor some years of All Mallows academy. Mr. Fdwards is one of the strong lieutenants of Arthur E. Stillwell, the promoter of the Orient road, and he will begin at once to manage much of its affairs from Wichita. It Is the in tention to prosecute the work of actual building actively and within a very short time the road will be a reality. The surveyors are now in the city working on routes into and through the city. It is now only a question of how soon the steel rails can roach here. It has been delayed on account of the strike or it would have been here be fore this time. Mr. Edwards and his family ivill be a valuable addition to Wichita. A DEFI FROM LAWSON. Willing to Race Independence Against One or Both Shamrocks. Boston, Mass., Ser,t. 9. Thomas W. Lawson came out with a nw proposi tion today relative to obtaining a race for Independence. He offers to take his boat to Kngland to meet either one or both Shamrocks for J100.0OO a. side, and the stakes to be given to charity. Mr: Iawson suggested yesterday that Sir Thomas Lipton bring Shamrock II around to Massachusetts waters after the possession of America's cup is de cided and meet Independence off Mar blehead for a. trophy whieh Tiffany is making. Sir Thomas replied he could not consider any races until after the cup contest, but indicated a willingness to meet the Hoston boat. This brought forth the following pro position from Mr. Lawson today: "If owing to fog, accident, or other unavoidable happenings the race can not take place in Massachusetts waters. Independence to proceecT to England with Shamrock II and upon their ar rival iac a series under conditions to be agreed upon by the I loyal Ulster and Hull-Massachusetts clubs for the sum of JlCN'.Ooo a side, the winner to .do nate the entire amount to public char ity." VLOD0YOVSKI FAVORITE. Whitney Horse Will Carry a Ton of Money For St. Leger. N'ew Tork. Sept. 9. There Is great excitement in racing circles owing to the sudden reversal of the betting odds on W. C. Whitney's Vlodoyovski for the St. Leger next week, says the London correspondent of the Journal. The horse carries more money than any other of the year, and some turfmen assert that it is a record amount. Volodyovski was a strong favorite at 7 to 4 on. Later there was enormous betting at 2 to 1 atrainst. and now it has swung again to about even money. Wall street rumors are nothing compared with the contra dictory reports about Whitney's horse. Everything from declarations that he is lame and won't even start to that he is a certain winner in a walk are flying about. There is also speculation as to the cause. Whether Volodyovski wins or loses many betters will be hit tre mendously hard, it is the biggest bet ting known on an American owned horse. Every cabman and every mil lionaire follower of the turf has got something one way or the other on "V'olly," as the horse is called for short. Meantime, he is training at Newmar ket, guarded by Trainer Huirgins like a czax. Lester Iteiff will ride him. Saturday Baseball NATIONAL LEAGUE. St. Louis. 2: New York, a. Cincinnati, 1; Boston, 4.

Only Survivor Among the Five Brothers Passes Away. Saratoga, N. Y Sept. 9. Herman O. Armour, of New Y'ork city, died sudden ly cf apoplexy Sunday at his summer cottage here. Mr. Armour, who had been in compar atively frail health for some time, was able to ride out once or twice a day and appeared to be gaining strength.' Ac companied by a coachman, he took his regular drive, and on his return stated he felt much refreshed. Shortly after ward he was seated on the porch of his cottage conversing with friends. Sud denly he ceased talking and immediate ly expired. Herman O. Armour was the last of the five brothers who first brought fame and wealth to the Armour family. Phil lip Armour, the oldest of them, died several months ago in Chicago, and A. W. and S. B. Armour, both of whom were residents of Kansas City, expired there, and Joseph died in Chicago in istsi. II. O. 'Armour was less known in the west than any of his brothers. He was the eastern representative of the house, and did business on the Produce Ex change, of New York. He came west once or twice each year, and on most of these trips came to Kansas City. His last visit west was made about a year ago, when he wa3 the guest of his nephew, K. B. Armour, at the latter's home in Kansas City. Nobody seema to know what his interest was in the great packing business of the Armour family, but he was very wealthy. In personal appearance H. O. Armour bore a stronger resemblance to Phil l. than either of his Kansas City brothers. He was large and florid, and wore side whiskers. In manner, he had the affa bility and kindliness which character izes all the members of his family. Mr. Armour was seriously sick last spring, and fears were entertained as to his recovery, but he had recovered from this illness. OHIO CLUB PICMC. It Will Be Held Next Friday at Gar field Park.

TAX LEAGUE IN ACTION They Threaten to Oust the Of ficers Immediately. Fort Scott the Scene of Bitter Turmoil. Fort Scott, Kas., Sept. 9. Sheriff Brooks and County Attorney Griffith met in the court house corridor Sat urday evening and the sheriff stopped the county attorney and apprised him of the locations and the names of the keepers of ten saloons that he. says are now running in Fort Scott. The coun ty attorney demanded the names of witnesses by which he could prove the facts, and the sheriff declared it was not his duty to furnish the names of witnesses when he didn't know them. Ou this point they differed and had some words. The notice given to the county at torney by the sheriff was the result of the action of the tax league committee in demanding that the saloons bj closed and threatening to oust the offi cers whose duty it is to close them if they were remiss. The law provides that the sheriff, mayor and other olh cers must inform the county attorney of the existence of saloons or of any violation of the prohibitory law of which they may have knowledge, and also of the names of any witnesses of which they may have knowledge by which the violators can be convicted. Mr. Brooks told the county attorney that he had no knowledge of any wit nesses, that he had no personal knowl edge of their existence. Mr. GrifUth in sists that It is hia duty to furnish the names of witnesses, and when he flatly refused to do so Griffith declared he would bring suit to oust him from office. Brooks challenged him to institute such proceedings. The tax league attorneys took no ac tion today. They are awaiting the ac tion of the county and city officers, they say, but are ready to begin the work for which they were employed when it appears" that the officers will not da their duty.

SAVED TWO TRAINS. A Mistake in Orders That Wai Recti fied in Time. Atchison. Kan.. Sept. 9 M. 3. Hanley, day telegraph operator for the Burling ton at Armour station, three miles east of here, failed Saturday by some mistake to deliver train orders to a passenger train bound for St. Joseph, to wait on a siding at Armour until a south bound train from St. Joseph passed. It was not until after the north bound train pulled out that the mistake was discovered and the two trains were speeding toward each other at a rate of 40 miles an hour. Han lev staggered out of the telegraph office arid told Conductor Hugh McAleer, who happened to be on the platform, of the situation. Hanlev was too unnerved to think, but McAleer conceived the idea of stopping the train at Kushville. four miles up the truck. HanW sat down to the telegraph instrument and after a number of nervous attempts- was able to notifv Kushville. and the train was flagged. In a few moments the south bound train came thundering past. Hanlev fainted after sending his mes sage. Hanley has been suspended. Ha had held the job for years. DISCOVERS OIL. Find Near the Kaw's Mouth and of Good Quality. Kansas City, Kan.. Sept. 9.

Spitzer Co. in No Hurry to Take $S5,000 Worth. The city officials are growing suspic ious of Spitzer Co., the Toledo firm of bankers and bond buyers which pur chased $S5,000 worth of improvement bonds from the city a short time ago. The firm has not yet taken the bonds, and has been raising trivial and un necessary objections and quibblings in regard to technical points involving the issue of bonds in question. City Clerk Squires thinks that Spitzer Co. have no money to invest in the bonds, and are simply delaying the con summation of the deal so that they can find a purchaser for the bonds and save the $5,000 certified check which is held by the city as "good faith" money. "We have had some experiences like this," said Mr. Squires. "The purchase of one of our bond issues was delayed for three months once by a firm which had no money, but which simply bid and then, being successful, wept out and hunted for a purchaser, making us wait meantime for our money." The firm of Spitzer Co. has been In active correspondence with the city clerk ever since the bonds were sold to them, but their letters have always re quested more information, and more technical changes. The latest objec tion is that the certificate signed by the mayor and city clerk must be dated back to July 1. instead of dated the date upon which the certificate in sign ed and sealed. The city attorney has given an opinion that this can not legally be done, and the dickering over this point will probably consume sev eral weeks.

Laboring men of Topeka the men who dig the dirt, lay the bricks and stones aJid haul the material were paid $17.3S5 dur ing the month of August as a result of the work of pavement laying which is in protrress in this city. About the same amount of money will be expended for the same purpose during the months of September and October, and almost as much, was paid out during the month of Julv. It is estimated that this $17,000 waa dis tributed among about 4W workmen, mak ing the average wago paid between $45 and $0o a month. The wages paid range between $1.25 for common laborers to 13.U0 for expert brick layers and curb stone setters, and $2.b0 for a man and a team.

SULLEN AND DEFIANT. Czolgosz Expresses Regret That He Failed to Kill the President. Buffalo, Sept. 9. Sullen, defiant and yet filled with morbid fear, Leon Czol gosz cowers in his cell at police head quarters; at times in a frenzy of self glorification and again in an ague of fear, when he realizes what the future may have in store for him. The assassin of President McKinley presents a character that would make an interesting study. That he is sane there can be no doubt. He realizes the enormity of hia crime, and when his soul is not agitated by fear he looka upon himself as a hero. Even when thoughts of the punishment that is ine vitable come to him he refuses to re gret. Now and then he inquires of his guard whether hia victim still lives. Each time an affirmative has been given him he has shaken hia head and expressed regret. Once he was deceived. The guard told him that the president had just died. The face of this monstrous man lighted up, a smile of pleasure flitted across his features, and in a tone that betokened candidness, he said: "I am glad; I am glad that he is dead. I hail a duty and did it well. Now you can do with me as you will." With this declaration of bravado Czologsz paced restlessly up and down his cell mumbling to himself. They said that I was afraid. I am the only man who had the courage." Three minutea later Czologsz was ly ing on his cot all a-trembl. His lips twitched and tears were pouring down his cheeks. When his guard attempted to again engage him in conversation either he could not or he would not speak, and he did not talk until he had been assured that a mistake had been made and that the president lived. At this Czolgosz scowled and hurled a string of oaths at his deceiver. "You told me he was dead." he aaid, "and I am sorry that it is not so. "I am not frightened. I care not for the result to myself. I came to Buffalo to perform a certain deed and unless I have accomplished it my work has not been well done. 7 In this manner the day has been passed. The greatest fear of Czologsz is that he will meet with summary punishment at the hanJs of a mob. The least commo tion in the street causes him to start and to tremble. More than once he has de manded assurances that his life will be protected. He is an anarchist pure and simple, op posed to all forms of government and desirous of the death of those who rep resent law and order. He knows that among his kind he will be looked upon as a daring hero, and it is cjuite probable that he will face the ordeal of legal pun ishment with fortitude. When seen bv a correspondent he. ap peared to be extremely anxious to submit to an interview. When the correspon dent naused in front of his cell and waa introduced to Czologsz. the prisoner cams forward with a smile on his face, reached out his hand and attempted to give a formal salutation. "I shot the president of the t nlted States." said Czologsz. "and, in so doing 1 was upholding the principles that I had been taught. 1 am sorry" At this point the prisoner was inter rupted bv a policeman, who had accom panied the correspondent and who said that his instructions had been not to per mit Czoloesz to talk to anyone. The in terruptions threw Czologsz into a tit of sullenness, from which it is said he did not recover for several hours. The police looke upon the man who at tempted to assassinate the nation's ruler as a moral and physical coward. They say he was in a paroxysm c fear so long as the mob remained outside the jail and he could hear their demands for his life, yet he ha3 given no demonstration of sor row. When asked if he had thought about the president's wife while planning his crime Czologsz said: "It was not the husband that T In tended to kill, it was the president of the United States. The bullt that I tired was at the representative of the prewent con ditions of law, which are all mistakes." Several times Czologsz has been put through a series of interrogations by the peace.

T6PEITA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 9, 1801. 3 1AILR0AD NEWS, Western Iloads to Fight i'ake Advertising Schemes. Protective Bureau Established 1)T the Managers. WILL HELP AGESTS. Advertising Men to Hold Meet ings at Stated Times. "Folder Coxes" Will Be Tut on Black List. 'A. new bureau is to be established by the inaiiag-is of the roads operating vest from Chicago. It will be known as the bureau of advertising and will consider and settle all questions relat ing to advertising contracts that may be of mutual interest to the different roads. The departure will in no way affect the existing advertising- depart ments of th- individual roads, hut will be formed for protective purposes. Kor years. say ofiicers of the railroads, the lines have been imposed upon in ad ertisirijr contracts and arrangements. In this, thy say. they do not mean newspapers and other recognized med iums of advertising, but by bill boards, pamphlets find other "fly by nttrhf schemes. There Iihs been no uniform rule among the transportation com panies to protect themselves in this way. It is now proposed to maintain n bureau by which meetings of the ad vertising agents of the several roads will beheld at stated intervals questions of mutual interest dis and ssed One of the eiis of the ny bur is expect d to correct is what is known as the loKPr t,nx." These boxes hold railroad folders and are placed in hotels and o'her prominent places along rail road lines. They are owned by individ uals and companies and there is great disparitv in t lie contracts made for their use by the different roads. A prop osition has been made to en tirely abandon relations with those who "control the folder boxes. There are thousands of tlc-se boxes in the towns and t itles w est of Chicago and the renting- privilege js said to be valuable to their owners. Another feature of the new bureau w ill be a sort of black list for the names of persons who obtain transportation for "fake" journals and publications. HAS rELTON ACCEPTED?

The record is simply a blueprint with a great many squares, each opposite the number ot an engine. Within every block are a number of circles, and when work is de sired to be given an engine all that is necessary in recording it is to make note of the kind of changes desired inside one of the blank spaces. Thus the foreman finds no difficulty in keeping informed about the repairs that are being clone on the locomotives running in and out of there. G. A. K. RESOLUTIONS. Lincoln Post Deplores the Shooting of President. At the meeting of Lincoln Post. G. A. R., Saturday night, the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, For the third time this na tion has been shocked by the demon ical act of a fiend in the attempt to assassinate our president, which at tempted assassination of our highly esteemed and honored comrade. Presi dent William McKinley. by a foreign outlaw, in the most diabolical manner, under the guise of social and patriotic friendship, was an act repugnant to every human consideration: therefore be it Resolved. That while deploring such a dastardly act, we humbly ask the Good Providence who led us during the dark and stormy days to preserve the life of our comrade. Resolved. That our sincere sympathy Is herewith extended to the grief stricken wife. May she be sustained and comforted in this trying hour. And be it further Resolved, That we denounce with ali the vehemence of our patriotic minds and hearts, the diabolical act of this foreign outlaw fiend, and demand that in protection to our civilization, our government, and to its popularly se lected officers, that laws be at once en acted to prevent such inhuman an archists coming to our shores, and that those within our jurisdiction be exterminated or committed as public enemies. Be it further Resolved. That we recommend that an international compact be concluded with the civilised governments of eartn by which a merciless war of extermi nation may be ceaselessly waged against these common enemies of man kind. Resolved. That we protest against an interpretation of free speech and free press which warrants unbridled license of tongue or pen such as an unbal anced brain and a wicked heart shall dictate; and we further condemn the officials of any American municipality who will permit professed anarchists to meet and rejoice over the assassina tion of our president and sing the praises of the miserable coward who committed the horrible deed. SYKES' FINAL SERMON. He Censures Topeka Members For Not Paying Their Share. Hev. John TV. Sykes, th dean of Grace Cathedral, preached his farewell sermon yesterday morning. He leaves this week for Pittsburg, Pa. Iean Sykes reviewed the four years that he has spent in Topeka. He mildly censured the members of the parish for their lack of fnertrv and failure to ad vance religiously since he had been here. He called the attention of the cunsrreia- ion to the fact that ther are l.ooo Kt-is-oDalians in the parish, but that not for the four years that he hud been in 'i o- peka had they paid their share toward the alary ot tne bisnop nor Had they paut lie amount into the fund of the dior hat thev had promised. Dean Svkes said: "When I came to Topeka and saw he beautiful city and met the successful iiisiiieKS men you have here. 1 thought this is the place where I shall be con- nt to do my life work and to die.' I know that during the four years I have een here I have made mistakes, iiut so have you. We are all human." DIED OF PARESIS. George E. Wright Succumbs to a Lingering Illness. Chicago, Sept. 9. George E. Wright, journalist, author and stock exchange broker, died of paresis at his residence in this city, early today, after a linger- ng- illness. Mr. Wright was born in Perrysbui g, April 15, 1S51, Ills father being an educator in Is'ew York. In 1SS2 Mr. Wright founded the stock exchange, being elected its first secretary. For a number of years he was a member of the governing committee and chairman of the stock exchange committee. Mr. Wright was a member of the so ciety of descendants of the Maynower. Five Killed on Flat Car. Jamestown, X. I)., Sept. 9. Five men were killed and six ethers seriously in ured, two of whom have since died, in collision early today.

As the train passed the station road engine was struck and the force f the collision caused the flat car to collapse. The names of the dead and njured could not be learned. They were harvest hands who had boarded the car at Lamoure. CASTOR I For Infants and CMldren, Th3 Kind Yen Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Olf 1G E Brll EA RLYe .OV ERi. (Continued from First Page.i clothes had already been removed and he was lying on the operating table. Some temporary relief had been admin istered, and he was under the charge of Ijoctor Mann, who conducts the Emer gency hospital, and who is the son cf the well known surgeon of that name. I then spoke to the president and told him that I had met him at the Omaha exposition, where I had charge of the Emergency hospital. Mr. McKinley was good enough to say that he remembered me. At this Juncture Doctor Myntner and Doctor Mann, Sr., arrived. An exami nation was at once held and from the president's condition it was clearly indi cated that an operation was imperative at once. We told Mr. McKinley what was nec essary and he replied: 'Gentlemen, do what In your judg ment you think best." The president was just as calm and quiet as possible. He was not the least bit nervous. Of course he was suffering some pain and was slightly nauseatedfi but.takitig everything into consideration, he was absolutely calm. But it was a terrible thing to see ihe poor man lying there. We then went to work to get ready for a radical operation. The second bul let had entered five inches below the left nipple and one and a half inches to the left of the median line. It had pass ed through all the tissues and had pene trated the stomach in two places, front and back. The stomach was quite full, the presi dent having eaten a hearty lunch, as he had previously told me. Of course, there was more or less hemorrhage. and some of the contents of the stomach were also escaping. It was absolutely necessary to prevent any further leakage into the abdominal cavity and this was at once done. The bullet must either have lodged In the muscles of the back somewhere, or. having spent its force, have dropped in to the abdominal cavity. It had proba bly done all the damage it could do. Dr. Mann, Dr. Mynter and myself thoroughly cleaned the abdominal cav ity, and, turning the patient on one side, examined carefully to see if the missing bullet had lodged beneath the skin. We were, however, unable to find any trace of it. Iscfore the operation had been en tirely finished. Dr. Park, who had been sent for, arrived, and a consultation was held as to what further procedure to adopt. It was finally decided to re move the president to the home of Mr. Milburn. It was considered better to do this because the hospital, while in first-class condition for emergency cases, was not suitable or ready for a permanent case. Mr. McKinley stood the operation re markably well, although it Is a deli cate matter to sew up the stomach, and we were at work about an hour and a half. He came out of it in excellent condition. Cases of this kind are always critical and every surgeon present recognized the seriousness of the president s con dition. The patient showed wonderful fortitude throughout, and any man, ex cept an anarchist, would have been stricken to the heart to see that great. good anl grand man lying there as wniie as a sneer, ana yet witn tnat dignity and calmness which is charac teristic of President McKinley. No drainage tubes were used, as the cavity made them unnecessary. The incisions in the stomach were sewed up with silk sutures, and those in the ab dominal wall with silk-worm gut sut ures. The tragedy shows the great need of an emergency hospital sit expositions like the Pan-American, aud its location on the grounds enabled the president to obtain almost immediate relief. If the patient had had to be taken to a down-town hospital the contents of the stomach would have filtered into the abdominal cavity to a much greater extent, and the result would have been very much more serious. The emergency hospital automobile ambulance is the most perfect one I have ever seen, and the asphalt pave ments made it absolutely smooth going. When the ambulance reached the hos pital from the Temple of Music, the president was rolled out on the most approved stretchers, and the president felt no shock or jar at all. It was the same when the patient was transferred to Mr. Milburn's house. I was much Interested in the treat ment of emergency cases at the w'orld's fair, and I had the best of materials at Omaha, where we treated some serious cases, but, of course, improvements are constantly being made, and the emer gency hospital at the Pan-American is much beyond either of the two former. There is one thing worthy of com ment regarding American doctors and nurses. There was not the least bit of excitement or any disturbance of any kind. Everything was system and method. There was no embarrassment and no confusion. Everything went right on as if it had all been planned out beforehand. Doctor Mynter and Doctor Mann, both representative men of Buffalo, came in and recognized that the president of the United States was there and that they had to assume responsibility. They did not know when Doctor Park would ar rive, and they had to act themselves. I was asked to assist, and consented. The whole thing was as quiet as it could be. Doctor Rixey. the president's physician, was there, giving general directions and furnishing assistance, and the whole, scene was one of quietude, dignity and solemnity. If I remember rightly. Doctor Eugene Wasdin administered the ether to the president at the outset of the operation. The patient absorbed the fumes with out the slightest difficulty and remain ed completely under their influence dur ing the operation. There could not be a greater differ ence than that between this scene and several I saw at Paris. Here the patient was president of the United States, per haps the greatest man in the world, and yet all was method and system. In Paris, however, when people W'ere in jured the confusion beggared descrip tion. Everything demonstrated the lack of method and the excitability of the French race. Neither the guards nor the spectators seemed to know the principles of first aid to the injured, and there was great confusion before any thing like order was restored. At Buf falo, en the contrary, there was abso lute level-headedness. FULL OF HOPE Hanna and Roosevelt Say President's Chances Underestimated. Buffalo, Sept. 9. The sermon at the First Presbyterian church, where Vice President Roosevelt was in attendance, made frequent reference to the ca lamity which had fallen upon the na tion. At the close the pastor. Dr. S. S. Mitchell, delivered a fervent prayer, in the course of which he said: "Unite, O God, the hearts of all lovers of righteousness in sternest reprobation of the anarchic fury of repro bate lives, and whip from the temple of Every packag of biscuit hav ing this teal public life men who are willing to tem porarize with this madness in city and state." After a hymn the entire congregation united in singing the national anthem. Shortly after 1 o'clock Vice President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna left the house. They stopped on the corner to tell the newspaper men of the hopes they had of the president's recovery. The vice president said with great em phasis that he felt satisfied of the presi dent's recovery and Senator Hanna in terjected the statement that the presi dents' condition under the circumstan ces could not be more favorable. Com plications might arise, said the senator, but there were no indications of them up to the present time. Senator Hanna then spoke of the newspaper statements that the reports of the physicians were being colored and did not show the president's true condition. "It is outrageous that such stroies should be circulated," said he. "The physicians are giving the facts to the public." At this point the vice president with great earnestness laid his hand upon the senator's arm: "Senator, let me put it this way," he said. "The doctors' bulletins are made with a scrupulous understatement of the favorableness of the conditions, a scrupulous understatement," he repeat ed emphatically, adding emphasis with his uplifted gloves. "That expresses it well," said Sen ator Hanna. "Yes," continued Mr. Roosevelt, "if anything, the doctors understate the hopefulness of the situation." Mr. Hanna again assented to thi3 statement. He added that it took from 48 to 72 hours for conclusions to be reached of any absolutely conclusive character and no physicians, pending such a period, would state absolutely final conclusions. But for the present the doctors were inspired by the in creased effort to give the best judg ment which medical science could ren der. As Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna turned to their carriage, an attempt was made to photograph the vice pres ident, but he turned away hurriedly, "No, no," indicating that it was not a time for such scenes. Robert T. Lincoln, son of President Lincoln and former secretary of war. came trom tne MUDurn nouse soon after Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna retired. Mr. Lincoln expressed the same hopeful view of the situation and regarded the condition of the pa tient as altogether favorable. Shortly after the departure of v ice President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna. Secretary Gage, Secretary Root. Secretary Hitchcock and Attor ney General Knox emerged and walked down Delaware avenue together. All of them shared in the cheerful feeling which prevailed at the Milburn house. 'Tne president is not only doing well," said the attorney general, "but he gives promise of doing better. Each of the members ot tne cabinet was exceedingly optimistic, although admitting the possibility and danger of future complications. Secretary Gage said that if anotner day passed without an inoication of peritonitis the physicians felt the dan ger from that source owuld be over. If the suppuration should appear in the neighborhood of the bullet later they seemed to feel that no difficulty would be experienced in removing it. The members ot tne camnet win re main here until the issue of the presi dent's illness is definitely determined. If the physicians pronounce him out of danger they will return at once to Washington, where they can be to gether and in frequent consultation, if necessity arises. Word was received from Secretary of State Hay today that he would reach here tomorrow. Secretary Long has not signified his intention of coming. There has yet been little discussion of the place to which President McKin ley will be removed in the event of his convalescence. The prevailing impres sion seems to be that if he could be moved shortly he would be taken to Canton instead of Washington. But j if his convalescence were delayed until cooler weather set in he probably would be taken to the White House. The opinion of the physicians would prob ably govern, however. THINK HE WILL LIVE. London Capitalists Back Their Faith With Money. London, Sept. 9. "The feeling of the British world," said Lord Rothschild this morning to a representative- of the Associated Press,"is that President Mc Kinley will get well and everything come out all right. Hence the rise of American securities on the stock ex change above parity." Asked if he thought the financial con dition of the United States was strong enough to withstand the wrorst contirt geney. Lord Rothschild said: "We are not dealing with hypothesis. We think President McKinley will live and that is sufficient. Today's rise is due to a general belief in that and ti no concerted action on the part of the financial leaders." Lord Rothschild expressed sorrow for the attempted assassination of Presi dent McKinley and added that every body he knew felt the same way. i j-r.y. up ;-.f y Even if you live next door to a bakery you can go around the corner to the little grocery store, and get, your biscuit in the Inerseal Patent Package just as fresh as you could get them at the bakery.

Temporarily, Buffalo is the capital pf the nation. The people will toon be given a change of masters. The ice trust will take a vacation ami turn over the C1U ten to the coal trust. The rrlc to be paid by Vncle Sam (or the Danish West Indies is agreed upon. It is now in order lor somebody to figure how much a head will be paid for the inhabitants. The midway is to the big exposition what the horse race was to the old time county fair. It was Josh Billings Mho said that the people delight in a genuine agricultural horse trot. The Buffalo exposition cost more for preparation than did the one recently l.eld in Paris. St. Louis will spend on Mr world's fair three times as much did Buffalo. The area of the Paris exposition was IT:; acres, and that of the Pan-American is 350 acres. The St. Louis site w ill cover 1,100 acres. Singular it is, but true, that anarchist assassins mark for their vktims the t est and least tyrannical of the world's rulers. Instead of selecting President 1'iaz who ro cms Mexico w ith an iron liand or some one of the many Central find South American presidents, whose j-uie in many cases is scarcely less op pressive than that of the czar of Rus sia, they choose for the sacrifice Presi-!r-nt McKinley, who is recognized ev erywhere as one of the kindest ofChris tian gentlemen and a man with the Itighest regard for the rights of the people. In Europe instead of attacking the czar or the kaiser, both of whom tire inclined to be self assertive in mat ters of government, they direct their iissauits against Humbert of Italy, the empress of Austria and the president of 3'rance. THE LAW AND THE PRESIDENT If President McKinley shall live the utmost punishment that can be inflict ed upon liis assassin is imprisonment for ten years. F.y the laws of New rVork tinder which Czolgosz must be jTosecuted that is the maximum pen pity for assault with intent to kill. There is no law, state or federal, rwhich makes any distinction between the killing or attempting to kill a pres ident and that of the most obscure eitizen. The theory of our government Is that; all citizens, high or low, are equal In the eyes of the law. As a theory this is all very fine, but like Mary other theories when put into practice there come times when it ap- e;rs to fall short. True, the life of President McKinley means no more to him nor to his fam ily than were he an ordinary citizen, but it means vastly more to the coun try than that of any other man under the f'uig and is therefore entitled to an extraordinary measure of protection. Can the country afford to set at lib rrty after ten years a man with a mania for kilting presidents? Might lie not try it again? If his bent were merely the killing of Ids fellow man, society miiht be willing' to take some hanees, but in the case of the chief ex ecutive it is different. He stands, dur ing his term of oilice. as the represen tative of nil the people. A special court and special laws are provided for the president; might it not be well to provide a special court ftij special laws for those who attempt his life? HIGHEST PRICES OF THE YEAR fKroni 1'un's Review. fMin's Index Number on September 1 was Jl'tf.flll, m-Ring the cost of living? 3.6 per cent, higher than on August 1. The rifSftit range of values, based on the p?r capita consumption of 350 quo tations. is higher than at any previous time this year, and only about 50 cents lower than the top point of 1900, when the index number was at the high- water mark of the decade. Changes during the last month were exception ally interesting, since they faithfully reflect the oniy two untoward influ ences of the year. Following the usual method of classification, it appears that in breadstuff's there was a rise of 4.4 per cent, in August, almost entirely due to the advance in the price of corn. as other cereals varied little, although beans and peas reached a higher level The effects of the decreased yield of maize were ntoie pronounced during the early part of August than at th opening of the new- month, and wheat filso reached much higher level. These fluctuations were largely due to spi-1 tilation, and could not be maintained in the face of corn experts averagin lss than half a million bushels -week ly. Meats also advanced to an abnor mally high point, surpassing all recent yea: s. The gain for the month, how ever, was only about what might be expected in the light of corn prospects. Iairy and garden products were slight ly lower; the advance in eggs, apples, Eiiii t .;J iniaeiia,ueous vegetables be ing more than balanced by the decline in potatoes, butter, cheese and hay. A trifling loss was also recorded in Other articles of food, due to the decline in both raw and refined sugar and hops. GLOBE BIGHTS From the Atchison GlobeJ When you pray for victory, don't fail to shell the woods. Ion't eat oysters until the weather is cool enough for a girl's hair to stay curled. Never become unnecessarily confi dential; your friend is liable to become your enemy. The life worth livins is the natural life. If you are an owl, and try to be an eagle, you will be in unnecessary trouble constantly. Every time a woman looks at her son's children she criticizes their train ing, and every time sne looks at a daughter's children she approves. Our idea of a violation of family tra ditions would be to have Sunday night suppers at which the necks and backs of chicken were not served. The horses ore beginning to look at their owners with that dissatisfied look a girl gets when she comes home from boarding School; they want more nay. What becomes of the bad boys? Good men are found every day who were once boys, and no one ever al mits there is such a thing as a good boy. A certain Atchison man Is so lazy that he never takes in his ice until 10 o'clock, and spends the rest of the day n abusing the ice company tor giving him short weight. There is a woman in town who agrees to make you an artist, and throw in a set of oil paints, for five dol lars. VVe were fooled that way When we were fourteen years old. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The oyster is again in the soup. The patriotism of some men is con fined to the red, white and blue poker chips. Do not despise humble occupations. Even the hod-carrier climbs to the top of the ladder. You can come pretty near Judging people by their clothes when you see the family wash out on the line, Wigg "I can tell a drinking man by his face." Wagg "Can you distinguish between a beer mug and a gin phiz?" "When a man raves over classical music," says the Manayunk Philos opher. "I wouldn't believe him on his oath." "When it comes to matrimony," says the cynical bachelor, "it seems as though no man ever gets old enough to know better." Blobbs "I don't believe Wigwag had a gid time on his vacation." Slobbs "Why do you think that?" Blobbs "Why, he actually came back with some money." Names of heroes oft remind us We may likewise go to sea; And the public, too, may find us In a court of inquiry.

It's no sin to kiss a girl If you don't tell her you are going to do it. What a woman calls temper in her sister she calls sparkling vivacity in herself. It's funny that a woman can't lace shape into fatness, yet she can lace fatness into shape. Is it local color when a woman has a black and blue spot somewhere above her knee?

The examination was perfectly satis factory and the patient is im proving." 4. v "fc v H Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 9. Dr. Roswell Park, one of the physicians in attendance on the president, speaking of the president's condition, said to day: "If in a case analogous tot that of the president, the patient is in good condi tion at the end of the third day the at tendants are justified in regarding it as having passed a most critical period. 'Yesterday the president slept like ai child and this morning waa as cheerful as could be desired and as communica tive as the attendants permitted him to be. We can not allow him to talk yet or permit him to tire himself in any way. Mrs. McKinley is the only person, other than the professional attendant in the case who is allowed, to see the presi dent." Dr. Park's manner throughout the in terview indicated that his impression of the prospects ot the president s case based upon the conditions as they now exist, was hopeful. All of the physicians agree that one of the most encouraging features of the case is that, in addition to the water injection, there has been a lit tle milk and egg nourishment given the patient, and that there has been no ill effect from it. FILIPINOS EXPRESS REGRET. London. Sept. 9. Antonio Regardio y Jurado, described as the European rep resentative of the Filipinos, has sent the following message-to America: "In behalf of the Filipinos we desire to express our horror and detestation of tha dastardly attempt on the life of the president, and to assure him and his courageous wife of our sympathy and prayers. May he speedily recover to adjust the unfortunate differences between the Filipinos and America. A fatal termination would be deplored now here in the world more than in the Philippines." FEAR FOR THE DUKE. British Are Alarmed About York's Visit to America. London, Sept. .9 Presrent McKinley's condition and discussion of the methods as to dealing with anarchists continue to dominate the editorial and news of newspapers here. Message of sympathy and inquiry from hundreds of officials and private persons are still arriving at the Fnited States embassy and the cietles. boards of guardians and bodies of various kinds that happen to be meeting today In the United Kingdom have, almost without exception passed resolutionsdeplorlng the act of Czolgosz. Some of them, including the London chamber of commerce have cabled these expressions to the United States. Tha American delegates to the Ecumenical Methodist conference are arranging a special meeeting to take action in the matter. The Evening Standard comments on the danger to which the Duke of Corn wall and York will be exposed during his visit to North America, questioning whether any precautions can be con sidered adequate protection against murderous persons. AS THE WHISTLE BLOWS From the Pittsburg: Commercial Gazette. It was at the Frick building-. The darkeys were loading their hods with bricks. The hod 3 were nearly full. One or two more bricks would have tilled them. At that moment the noon whistle blew. Over went the hods, the bricks resuming their places on the pile. "A wouldn't carry dem bricks fer Mr. Frick himself after dat whistle bio wed," announced one of the carriers. Then they sought their full dinner pails. JOHN'S POINTED QUESTION. fFrom Tit-Bits. A good story is told of one of the dig nitaries of the Scottish church. Before he became known to fame he was a minister of a remote parish in Perthshire and was not considered a particularly attractive preacher. At hissuggetion extensive al erations were made in the transept of his church, and these bad the effect of sweeping" awy considera Ole seating ac commodation. One dav- alter the altera tions had been effected, he visited the church to see how it looked. "What do you think of the Improve ments. John?" he asked of the beadie.

Ex-ropulist Politician Is Topeka. in Tells About His Big Oil Indus try at Beaumont. S. M. Scott, formerly prominent as a Populist politician in the Fourth dis trict, now a Beaumont oil king, came to Topeka today for the first time since he struck it rich in the oil fields. Scott has lost none of his breeziness and if that is possible, has acquired more en thusiasm than ever. Ha is now vice president of the Ex port Oil and Pipe Line company. At the head of this immense industry is Charles A. Tow ne, of Minneapolis, as president. H. J. Hopkins, a director in the com pany, is here with Mr. Scott and their business is to dicker with the Santa Fe for the putting in of railroad switches to their gusher and getting material to their proposed big refinery. The refinery is to cost a quarter at a million dollars. There will be one Tiundred carloads of machinery to haul in for its equipment. They are here to deal with the traffic department for the freighting ot this big shipment. On the side they have a display of the by-products that are to be manufactur ed by their company at the Natioiiil hotel. One of these is a case containing asphalt made from their oil that weighs a auarter of a ton. Going down in their pockets the men bring out one surprise after another. First Mr. Scott produces a chunk of black stuff that looks as if it might be a plug of tobacco. This is a sample of the asphalt. Then Mr. Hopkins hauls out a square of roofing material out of an envelope in his inside pocket. He burns a match under it. A wet spot appears on top of the card over the burning match as if the grease was being fried out of it. But it will not ignite, and as soon as the flame is re moved the wetness dries up. The card shows not a mark of the test. "All those things come out of oil? asks the astonished onlooker. "Yes, sir." "Anything else?" "Rubber!" Mr. Hopkins' hand goes Into a vest pocket and brings out a gummy chunk. As he rubs it on paper an oily, yellow streak shows. "If it were not for that streak, this would be an eraser," he ex plains. "It's rubber, Just the same, but there is oil in it." "What can you make out of it? "Anything that can be made out c rubber, nearly gutta percha receivers like that on your telephone over there, for Instance." The stories that have circulated in Kansas relative to Mr. Scott's strike at Beaumont have been rather hazy. There is nothing indefinite about the way Mr. Scott tells of his business him self. "Our gusher runs 60.000 barrels a day. It was struck on the 16th of last month. We have contracts to sell 7.000 barrels a day to the Central Asphaltum com pany. Out of such a day's run 443 bar rels of asphalt can be manufactured or 500 barrels of paint and the licniid that will be left afterward is just 2.900 bar rels. And it is white and is illuminat ing oil. "The oil land In the Texas field is not limited to the little area that some people think. It runs for a distance of 125 miles, at least. We have 11.000 acres besides the tract we have already opened. We have gushers and as long as they flow we will make use of the gushers. I venture to say that almost anywhere on our other tracts oil lies in immense quantities. There is a lay er of oil sand said to be 150 and 250 feet thick in the bed. By drilling 250 to 500 feet into this we would get 250 to '500 barrels a day. As long as the gushers blow there will be no need to do this. But gushers may blow out any day. "The refinery that we are about to build will be next to the largest in the world. Some idea of the immensity of it may De trained from the fact that our- first order for machinery was for 14 boilers S's feet in diameter and 3t feet long and 24 boilers U. feet in diameter and 30 feet long In it we will manufacture all our products, asphalt, rubber, paint and many others.

Charles R Mc Kenzie, aged 4(i. well known as a turf writer under the non da plume of The Gadflv, died todav at the city hospital as the result of a street car accident m which his skull was fractured. He was born in Java. His father was Count De Heimaji, Dutch governor of the island of Java, His mother was Scotch, and from her he took his name- At one time Mr. McKenzie was private secretary to Rob ert Garrett, president of the Baltimore Ohio Railroad company.

Mr. Cobb, vice president of the exposition, is now In Paris promoting the exhibition. FILLED THE PRESCRIPTION TFrom the "Chicago Fost.l Old man Henderson, good hearted and well meaning, though distractedly ab sent minded, started out from his home on a farm near Downer's Grove one day not a long while back, bound for Chi cago. He was going to spend a whole day in the city; he was going to do. the annual chopping for the family and some of the neighbors; and he was go ing to spend the night with his son "Fred," who lives on the North Side all of which go to make up an event of some moment in the Henderson family. "Now, John," said his good wife Mary at the breakfast table that morning, "there are a few extra things I want you to get for me this year. Y'ou know things are so much cheaper in town." "All right, Mary," he returned good naturedly, "you just make a list of w hat you want and I'll fetch 'em to you." So Just before Mr. Henderson stepped into the carryall which was waiting to take him to the station from the farm his wife hurried out and handed him a slip of naDer. "I didn't have time to think of all the things I needed in the house, but here are a few," she said. Mr. Henderson put the piece of paper in his vest pocket, kissed his wife and w as gone. It was quite a thing for oJhn Hendeison to go to Chicago, albeit ha lived but 25 miles away. Therefore, when he did go preparations were made to receive him. "Fred's" wife met him at the train and went about on his shopping tour with him. But he forgot the slip his wife had given him. When he thought they had finished they went to an ice cream parlor and had some re freshments and took luncheon with "Fred." In the afternoon they went to Lincoln Park. While they were looking at the animals the old man was taken with cramps "It must be the ice cream, Jennie," he said to his daughter-in-law, and she, fearing that ha had typhoid fever or something quite as malignant, immedi ately called a cab and hurried him off to the office of the family physician. Now, this dispenser of knowledge and advice cm all things medical was a shining light in the community in which he lived. He boasted of the fact that during the five years he had practised he had lost only seven cases. Those, he said, were turned ever to him alter it was too late. Never when he had been given first chance at a patient, he was wont to say, had he failed to furnish relief. if' When "Fred's" wife and her aged father-in-law arrived the "doctor" was reading a paper. He diagnosed the case and said it wasn't anything serious. His very manner was convincing, and both the visitors were relieved. "I can fix you up in about two min utes, my man," was his cheering re mark as he wrote out a prescription. Mrs. "Fred" had so much confidence in the physician's opinion that her hus band's father was not going to be ser iously ill that she consented to his go ing alone to the drug store to have the prescription filled, while she went on home to superintend the preparation of the evening meal. "I want this filled," said old Mr. Hen derson to the clerk behind the counter, taking a slip of paper from his pocket and handing it to him. The youth looked worried as he look ed at the via per. "Want it filled, did you say?" he asked. "Yes, want it filled," was the answer. "Dr. Jones just gave it to me." "It's the oddest prescription I ever put up," said the clerk, "but I suppose Dr. Jones knows. Guess he means equal parts, though, he don't say so," he ad ded. He went back to the partition and soon returned with a botUe filled with a brown mixture. "There are no directions with this, ha said, as he wrapped a paper around it. "but I suppose vou can take it as you would an ordinary tonic a teaspoonful in half a glass of water half an hour be fore each meal and before you go to bed. 1 wouldn't take any more of It than I had to, however," ne continued, as he handed the old man the bottle. That evening Mr. Henderson felt fine and dandv. He had taken two doses of the medicine, notwithstanding the advice of the clerk, and his gripes had gone. "That must be fine stuff Dr. Jones gave me," he said to Fred's wife. "Guess I'll get another bottle and take it home in case any of tha folks get taken with pains." On the wav home the next day he stopped in the drug store and called the clerk to him. "Young man. did you keep that pre scription Dr. Jones gave me yesterday and I had filled here?" "I did," said the obliging young man: "lust a moment. Here, is this it?" he said, returning from the rear of the store and handing Mr. Henderson the slip of paper. "Did vou want a copy of It?" he asked, as the old man took it in his hand. "No, I don't exactly want that," he said, "but I would like another bottle of the mixture. It's fine stuff. Great Scott!' ex claimed the old man. "is that what you put up for me? Why. that's Mary s list sugar, lemons and rhubarb." Thev haven't decided yet who the joke was on the old man or the physician. SPENCER WANTS TRIALS. City Attorney Asks That 30 Liquor Cases Be Placed on Docket. Citv Attorney Charles F. Spencer ap peared in the district court this morning and asked that thirty liquor cases be placed on the criminal docket at the Sep tember term of the court. There are now about twenty-five city liquor cases appealed from the police court on the docket for trial. There are thirty more than have been appealed from" the police court but that have not been placed on the docket of the district court for trial soon as they were not given into the hands of the clerk in time. V r Siencer wished them placed on the trial docket along with the cases now set for trial, beginning the 24th. in order that all may be disposed of at once. Mr. Spencer expiainen xuai ne v.iieu. iu prosecute them ail, but that later in the term he might not have time. Judge Ha zen took the matter under advisement. From James Manwsos. To the Editor of the State Journal: I feel it my duty to make a statement after reading what appeared in your Saturday evening issue about myself. In the first place I did not make any such statement as Streeter or Vittetoe charge me with, and never thought of making, and never did make such a remark. I have been in this country over thirteen years and have been a citizen of the United States over eight years. I came to this country a poor boy without money or friends and made a living by working wherever I could gat work to do. By hard work, and saving all that I could, I have been able to build up the business I non have. I have a mother and father in .ireece. and I have been able the last two years to send to them about five or ten dollars every month. The poor people in this country have a better chance to make a good living if they will work than they have in Greece. I like this country, its government, and the people of this country. The two above named parties have done me a very great wrong by cnargtng me wnn saying that which I never did say, and which they knew was raise ami uu true when they charged me with mak ing such a remark.

G TOPEIvA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVEXTXG. SEPTEMBER 9, 1901. CUTE STAGE. Serious Trouble Develops in the Strike Situation. Workers Turned Hack From the McKeesport Mills. HUNDREDS kept out. Fail to Get Through the Ticket Line of Strikers. Not More Than a Dozen Men Got Through. Pittsburg, Pa.. Vpt. 9. The strike situation in Keesport reached an acute siaSH this ra-.niiiig and serious trouble was f --tired as a result of the efforts of the striking tube workers to prevent men front returning: to work as they did Saturday. The effort was al most perfectly successful and where last week from "mai to l,i.'"0 men went back into the mil!, not more than a dozen were able this morning to elude the multitude of pickets and get back into the mill. There was great excitement in McKeesport this morning as a result of this turning out of the strikers, more than at any time yet. Something over 2.W strikers congre trated about the great plant of the Na tional Tube company shortly after mid night and remained there uhtil this morning when the employes who went to work last week reported for duty at 1 o'clock this morning. Kvery approach to the mill was guarded most vigilantly and around the main entrance nior-2 than 0"0 strikers and sympathizers gathered. The streets adjacent to the mills were crowded and as men ap 3 roached to fro to work they were met and turned back. Almost all of the irreat force which returned last week reported for duty again and there were many more who were willing to go back V-ut these were met by the pickets as they advanced near the mill and forced to return home. Not over a dozen es caped The vigilance of the pickets and succeeded in getting into the mill. About 5o police were on duty about the mill but no arrests were made. As a result of the disturbances this morn ing the big tube mill is idle and com pletely tied up. Just what the National Tube company will do is a matter of conjecture. It is believed by many that an atternot w ill be to start the mill with imported men and that an appeal will le made to Sheriff MeKinley for pro tection. At the meetings of the members of the Federation of Labor in McKeesport yesterday the question of returning to work in the tube works was voted on. The butt welders voted io return but were prevented from doing so this morning by the strikers who gathered about the mill. The employes of the rolling mill of the National Tube com pany voted to a man not to return. AtDemmler a crowd of fully Sim.) strik ers gathered about the plant, and while they were orderly, they refused to obey the orders of the 5i deputy sheriffs on guard. Fewer workmen reported front McKeesport than last week, though more men came by bua.t from Du-eiue-nse. As the morning advanced the excite ment in McKeesport increased and by noon the streets were crowded. A large crowd assembled around the railway Ftation and carefully watched all trains for imported men. Strikers in skiffs al so patrolled the river. Excitement has not been so tense since the strike began and the possibility of trouble Seems to be great. BAY VIEW STR1KKP.S RETURN TO WORK. Milwaukee. Wis.. Sept. 9. Thirty-five Amalgamated association men r--turmd to Work at the ill .nt of the Illinois Steel company in F.ay View today. It is said That two of the company's mills, the 12 huh and the rail mill, were started. Among those who reported for duty were .1. 1). Hiekey and J. F. Cooper, the two men who went to Pittsburg recently to learn the real facts about the strike. A HOPEFUL BION. Continued Session of Amalgamated Board Is So Regarded. Pittsburg. Pa.. Sept. 9. The con tinued session of the Amalgamated ex ecutive board is regarded as a hopeful -ign. It is now felt that the strikers will accept any honorable terms made by the steel people, and a visit of the Amalgamated otficlals to New York to deal directly with President Schwab is not improbable. The situation at McKeesport is looked ui-on with apprehension, and an out break is feared at any moment. Lo cally there is no change. All the mills started by the combine were running. The strikers are not interfering witu the workmen, and everything is quiet. The crucial test in the strike will come w hen the steel company starts in earn est to open its closed mills. This, it is said, will be done in a. few days, and the combine ollieials claim that when the strikers realize how many of the iid men are at work they will tumble over one another to get back to their old places. F00 CHOW BURNS. Jlilliou Dollar Loss to Chinese City. Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 9. The steam er Tartar of the Canadian Pacific fleet lias arrived from the Orient with news of the burning of the business portion of the city of Foo Chow. China. Over one million dollars damage was done and many people are said to have been killed in fights over the loot. The crew of the steamer Helgika, of Manila, mutinied last month at Cebu. They killed Captain Vclasco and the other officers and several sailors and then cast the vessel adrift. The boat wa-s taken in tug by an American gun boat tr,d brought to Cebu. He Stole Meat.

Continued from First Page.) the cabinet and of the Buffalo police. An agent of the United States secret service said that the theory is held that Emma Goldman, the anarchist, wa. the prime mover in this plot, which may hae cor.temi la ie 1 a seri.-s of or:n,esf of v-'hi.-h the inunl-r of the president w s only the Qt ginning. Emma. Goldman was in Buffalo last Monday. Tnat has been known to the police for 24 hours. She was here under an assumed name. What the object oi her visit was has not been learned, but presumably it was in connection w ith the crime that followed four days later. The police all vver the United States are no.v searching for Kmma Goldman, who seems to have disap peared utterly. Her arrest has been ordered. It can be stated on absolute author ity that tiiis woman teacher of anarchy will be expelled if excuse of law can be found for such an act. Moreover, she will not go alone. Holding to the the ory that the anarchists conspired against the constitution, authority and the government of the United States, and planned t ne assassination of Pres ident MeKinley. the members of the cabinet will urge that strenuous effort3 be made to eradicate them. Secretary Root is particularly earnest in urging this. few believe that Czolgosz was alone in the crime, or that he has been any thing more than a mere instrument un der the control of the real conspirators. That other and important arrests are contemplated in the near future is known to be a fact. ANARCHIST SYMPATHIZERS. Three Inmate3 of Soldiers' Home Under Arrest. Marion, Tnd., Sept. 9. Three inmates of the National Soldiers' Home here are under arrest and in the guard house of that institution for having expressed sympathy with the attack on the presi dent. HAS TOBACCO HEART. Julian Hawthorne on President's Chance of Recovery. By Julian Hawthorne. Buffalo, N. Y., .Sept. 9. The bulletins are hopeful in their tone, and still more hopeful are the headings of the col umns in which they are printed, and yet. after studying them closely, and reflecting upon the condition neces sarily attending the wound, I am forced to believe that there is very lit tle chance, indeed, that Mr. MeKinley will recover. It is. on the contrary, more than pos sible that he may die within a day or two. The president had lunched at half past 1 o'clock before the attack upon him at 4. The day was hot and he was perspiring. He had on over his shitt and underwear a white waistcoat, and the bullet penetrated these three gar ments, carrying some of the substance of each with it. The bullet itself, a 32 caliber, had been in the carrel of the revolver several days, and the weapon had been carried during that time in Csoigosz's pocket or had lam in his drawer. It had grease upon It. and must have accumulated dirt. MeKinley, again, is a man past the meridian of life, and of somewhat portly habit. He is not in the habit of taking vigorous exercise, by a walk every day or so. He is and this more to the point a great smoker, using as many as a dozen or eighteen cigars a day. And he has a tobacco heart, causing an irregularity of the pulse. The tobacco, which the liver has been unable fully to digest, has affected the interior tissues, and thus rendered them less quick to heal after an injury. I'pon the whole, the chances in favor of escaping blood poisoning are a good deal less than they were in the case of Garfield, and. were blood poisoning to set in, the result would be certain. On the other hand, his surroundings could hardly be more favorable than they are. President Milburn's house is apart from streets on which trolleys run; a broad, asphalted avenue passes on two sides of it; at no time is there much traffic and whatever there was is now discontinued and ropes are stretch ed at either extremity of the squares, and policemen and United States troops are on guard. Broad lawns, silken green, lie on all sides, with the sun shine falling softly over them, broken only by the shade of thick foliaged trees, and the only sound is the soft swishing of the watering sprinklers, re volving over the grass. The air is light and dry. and unpolluted by the smoke of the city, a mile or more dis tant. In the sick man's room are his wife and the physicians only, and ever and anon the noiseless presence of s a in timate friend. In his treatment ..e has the advantage of whatever the best surgical and medical science can sup ply; and the country may rest assured that, should he succumb, it will be in spite of the utmost that human skill and experience can do to save him. But. after all, there is not much that human skill can do. When a man's pulse reaches 146, with a respiration of 2. and a temperature of 102 or 103, it is plain that the outlook is serious. The pulse, it is true, sometimes falls abrupt ly to 120. But the rate of respiration increases. It is obvious that there may be many good reasons for throwing as sanguine a complexion as possible over the offi cial bulletins. The stock market has to be thought of. the political ex igencies, and the temper of the people, which assumed at one time a very threatening aspect. If the worst must come, it will be known soon enough, take what precautions one may. And if, happily, the patient's Tight with death should be successful it will be well to have kept the tide of anxiety from rising. The anxiety, as it is. Is omnipresent and deep. It does not ap pear much on the surface. HELD FOR TRIAL. Chicago Anarchists to Have Hearing September 19th. Chicago, Sept. 9.

C'.ok County Democratic Club Aband ons Trip to Buffalo. Chicago. Sept. 9. The Cook county lVnux-racy has voted to abandon its trip to the I 'nn-A meriea n exposition, giving as a reason that it would be in delicate for a political club to march and enjoy itself in the streets of Buf falo when the president of the United Suites was in distress nearby. The club also adopted resolutions "express ing sincere regret and sorrow at the at tempted assassination of President, and hope that our esteemed president will be restored to full and perfect health." TRADES UNIONS ACT. Boston Organizations Meet and Pass Resolutions. Boston. Sept. 9. Trades unions of Bos ton took action on the attempted assassi nation of President MeKinley at their various meetings last night and in every wav they exm-essed th-'ir sorrow at the deed committed in I'imalei on Friday last. In a number of these meetings the ad vocates of resolutions of sympathy for the family of the president took occasion to denounce lawlessness in most emphatic terms and to reiterate the sentiment that nothing in the way of industrial or social reform could be achieved by the murder of innocent people or try violence of any character.

BOHBER FOR GOVERNOR He Conies to Topeka Launches His Boom. and Dr. Bohrer, of Lyons, Kansas, one of the old-time Populists and reformers, is in Tojelta on a visit. Today his boom was launched for governor. "Doctor Bohrer is here looking after his tences as the next nominee for gov ernor on the proposed fusion ticket, was the word dropped by a friend. Dr. Bohrer is a strong writer on econ omics and is a frequent contributor to the Populist, Democratic and Indepen dent press. He owns two or three farms in Chase county and has retired from the active practice of his profession. The Rice county gubernatorial as pirant is the guest of Dr. A. M. Kidson, Dr. Bohrer was out looking up some Topeka properties in which ae proposes to make investments when a State Journal reporter called to learn on what line of party principles he pro posed to run for governor. Dr. Kidson stated that Dr. Bohrer was a most pro nounced fusionist. He believes in the getting together of every opposing force to the Republican party and whip it out of its boots as has been done be fore. He is not a middle-of-the-road Populist. He claims to be a reformer on a broader scale; that reforms advo cated by Populism, Democracy, Prohi bition and every wing of each are worthy of attention and incorporation into one broad platform of reform principles. He is for fusing all these forces under any name that can best be chosen and dash in to win. HO ANARCHIST MEETING Mayor Hughes Won't Tolerate Any in Topeka. No one will be allowed to say trea sonable things in Topeka about MeKin ley, If the police and city officials can prevent it. No anarchistic meetings will be held. No red flags will be waved, and no bombs wiil be permitted in po lite society. Mayor Hughes has spoken. He has written a letter to Chief of Police Stahl Instructing Mr. Stahl to see to it that the people of Topeka keep civil tongues in their heads w hen they talk about Me Kinley. The painful experience which the city has had with one of its policemen has served as a warning. Bicycle Policeman Bevelle was dismissed from the force today for expressing a hope that Me Kinley would die. Chief Stahl will see to it that all anarchists are dropped from his force without delay. "I have been told that there are a few anarchists in Topeka." said Mayor Hughes today. "If there are any such, we don't want them trying to hold meetings and malign our government. In writing this letter to Chief Stahl. I don't want to appear as trying to make a grand stand play. I simply do this because I believe Carter Harrison, may or of Chicago, set a good example to the executives of every city in the country when he declared that no anarchistic or treasonable talk would be permitted in Chicago if the police could prevent it. We will not have anybody abusing President MeKinley in Topeka. I don't care what McKinley's politics are. That is not the question. He is our president and he has been made the victim of a dastardly assault. Anyone who wishes for hia death is almost as guilty as the villain who fired the shot. Anyone who rejoices In the vile deed will be run out of town without delay." LIGHT II A IN FELL. Only Eight Hundredths is Recorded in Topeka.

Says He Will Build a New $100,000 Electrical Plant. WAXTS A FRANCHISE. Claims to Haye All Backing He Needs. Says He Represents an "Inde pendent" Company. I. B. Roby, of Amherst, N. II., is in Topeka with a plan in his head and a proposition in his pocket to build a new incandescent electric lighting plant in the city to compete with the Edison plant. He will go before the council and ask for a franchise. Mr. Roby has been in the city for a week, looking over the ground and sizing up the situation. He does not represent any organized company, but claims to have plenty of financial back ing from capitalists who own inde pendent light plants in twenty or thirty eastern towns. "I propose to invest $100,000 in the plant, and can have the plant ready for operation in three months. My rate will be 10 cents per 1,000 watts, which will amount to from $1 to $1.50 for a private house per month." IVIr. Roby's plan is to interest To peka capitalists in the plan to the ex tent of about $50,000. He wants to call the company "The Topeka Mutual Electric Light company." Shares of stock will be $100 each. "If I can get the support of con sumers," said Mr. Roby, "I will build a plant here whether I can get sub scribers to stock in Topeka or not. I can secure the full amount needed in the east if necessary. But I prefer to make this a home institution. "I expect to locate the plant some distance from town, where I can have good track facilities for handling coal. The electricity will be brought in here and converted to the proper voltage for lighting. 'T realize that I will have to fight the trust which now controls things here. In order to do this I must have the very best and most economical ma chinery, and must serve the patrons in the best possible manner. It Invariably happens that when an independent company fights a trust, the independent company wins provided it can give as good service as the trust." Mr. Roby called on Mayor Hughes this morning, and told him what he wanted. Mayor Hughes informed him that the city council would very likely require a cash deposit, or guaranty bond in the sum of $5,000 before it would grant a franchise for another electric light plant. The city has nad considerable experi ence with "fake" franchise grafters. Some franchise dealers get franchises for the purpose of "holding up" the ex isting comjany for a big bonus to re- 1 frain from locating. Some want the franchise to resell, and make a com mission. Sometimes the existing com pany has a fake franchise granted to keep out real competition. The council has been bitten so frequently on fakes of this kind that it will likely require very strict agreements and very large guarantees before Mr. Roby will get what he wants in the franchise line.

Sheriff Cook and his deputies have made a slight investigation of the mys terious death of Miss Eolah Hounsom who was burned to death Thursday night in her home at 132 Klein street. The investigation made by the offi cers has been very superficial and has resulted in nothing except what was printed in the State Journal the day of the discovery of the murder.

Rees, of Minneapolis should have his place as attorney for the Chickasaw--, the settlement of which business takes the senator to the Territory today. He needs must coax this pair back on the reservation again. It is more important than to pay off Judge Osborn for old favors. Rees was let down hard after fighting the rail road bill througn the lower house when he was not given the coveted place on the commission, and it stands for Sen ator Burton to appease the Minneapolis workers.

Novel Schsma of Trench Smugglers to Avoid Octroi Duties. Paris, Sept. 9. French smugglers are even more ingenious than a lady who a. day or two aK1' endeavored to gret a fox terrier into KnK'an-l by converting it into a monkey. They reached the octroi with a la rpe load of vegetables, when two cabbages of enormous sixe fell off the top. and a dead parti-ids-, probably poached, fell out of each. As the majority of the vegetables conceal ed oontra band giinif, tlte whole was confiscated.

It costs exactly $10, 0o to kill an octroi official. M. Maurice de Villeroye, a welt known society man, has paid that sum to the widow of Lisient, an employe, whom he ran over and killed while automobiling from his Iieppe villa to his Burgundy hateau. It remains to be seen whether the criminal court wdll let the chauffeur off from prison. Comte de Harvey was driving a fine bay horse the other afternoon up the Champs Elysees when a friend hailed him. He left the horse and carriage to shake hands. A noise caused him to look round, and he saw his carriage vanishing, driven by an audacious thief. Rut there was an automobile stand ing near by. The comte explained to the chauffeur what happened, and both set off in the horseless carriage at full speed. The thief was overhauled in quick time, and got a bad mauling from the irate owner and afterward from the crowd. VANDERBILT SELLS AUTO.

The lead ers of the Republican organization make it appear that there is no fight on Sam Kimble for judge of the Twenty-first judicial district. It is an old adage that wherever there is smoke there must be lire. The same guiding hand is behind the Kimble movement that got the nomination for Wid Brad bury for representative a year ago. Stackpole has never stood very weil with the leaders in this county, but is well thought of among the rank and file of the parly. Six years ago he was the favorite candidate for the nomination of county attorney, but by the smooth manipulation of the party managers ex-Senator Harkness got the nomination ami was defeated at the polls. Stackpole always maintained that if he had got the nomination he would have been elected. The present chairman of the Repub lican central committee was a strong candidate for postmaster, but Stack pole happened to be an Achenback par tisan, so he has not yet got his (the ohairman'sl-endorsement. Though Cap tain Fletcher, the chairman, is not a Stackpole supporter, he is rather luke warm towards Kimble. He is afraid the judicial convention might turn Kimble down a year hence, and that would be a miscalculation of political planning. Some of the leading conservative Re publicans would much rather prefer the appointment of the present incumbent, W. S. Glass, than either candidate men tioned. The Stackpole adherents per fer Jlas to Kimble, as they know Glass is a Democrat, but are not pure where Kimble is at politically. The Kimble supporters prefer Glass to Stackpole. for they know he is an able judge and popular with the people. Kimble is not liked in Glass' home county (Marshall). He one time ran for judge in that district when Clay was attached to Cloud and Washington counties, and only received 400 votes out of 5.000 cast. It is rumored that the members of the bar will get together and send in a non-partisan petition to Governor Stanley, asking him to appoint W. S. Glass as judge of the Twenty-first ju dicial district a petition that would meet with the unanimous approval of the voters of the district. Barker's Successful Raid. Winburg. Orange River Colony. Sept. 9. Barker's column has returned here from a 160 mile march through the Sen ekal district. The soldiers were aston ished to find green wheat fields every where, no troops having visited that region since December, so the Roers had time to plough and sow. They re treated to the mountains on the ap proach of the British who captured 100 men, women and children, enormous quantities of grain and 1,500 head of cattle. Is Abducted by Brigands.

""vr TovV- r-pi.. he ptRtfmrnt pi veil out L'jr th Colombian minister at Waphintrton that a Venezuelan fleet Wius bombarding: the jort of Rio Haeha is de nied by Ir. A. J. R -stapo. diplomatic representative of the Culon-bia !nsi:n:..Titi by the revolutionary rU -t. Local revolu tionists had exacted the news of the en-.fc-aeemt-nt t" r the last week ;-nd were jnbi Lui t yesterday because ihey felt little doubt about "the port being already in their possession. Ur. Restapo -said the capture of the RJo Iliacha was of the utmost importance to th3 rebels because this would place the entire Atlantic coast, including1 Barran quiiU and Santa Marta, at their merey and bring about an early victory for their arms. He- added that he v. as saneuine the battle had been fought and that it had resulted in a defeat for the govern ment, which is withholding the news. Dr. Ricardo Becerra. who cabled the Colombian legation at Washington from Curacao that the Venezuelan navy wa& bombarding the territory of her neighbor, was exiled about a ytar ago by President Castro. i-Ie was trie m inister of Colom bia here during: the insurrection of iWs and secured the armed intervention of the United States. Raoul Perez, secretary of the Colombian revolutionary diplomatic agency in this city, when aked if a Venezulan fleet bombarded Rio Jlacha, said: "The Venezuelans are not fighting in" Colombia. The only lighting at present ffoing on in South America is between the Colombian liberals and the 'olombian clericals. The liberals, or revolutionists, whose land and sea forces have, we think, captured the town of Rio Haeha. include four-tif ths of the Colombian na tion. This vast majority of the country's population is fighting live thousand Filipino friars, who have come to our shores, and many Ttalions. Spaniards and other Kuropeans allied against us. President Cast ro is struggling for liberty and not for his own prestige and advantage. This fact should always be kept in mind. This is no war of con nest. Venezuela has nothing to do with it. Several hundreds of thousands of our conn try in en who have been com -belied to flee to Venezuela are helping us. but they are Colombia ns and not Vene zuelans. The cable betwren Curacao and j Aiaracaibo is broken and so we have no positive informal ion or the last ha tt ie, but with only J.5"0 clerical troops against against our army we are almost positive that we are now in possession of the en tire northwest coast of Colombia. "There will be no invasion from Vene zuela. Ecuador or Nicaragua. There will be no attack made on the isthmus. Rio Haeha is 1"0 miles from Panama, which prove s that the publ ished account of an attack to bombard the isthmus is cut out of whole cloth. Our two armies of T.o-O men. commanded by (Generals Coma cho and Marin, now occupy the very heart of Colombia. There is no pea ee there; we are pushing- the war of freedom into the very center of our country. in two months I predict we shall conquer, and a man whom all Colombia respects and loves will be at the head of the govern, ment." COMING OF SORKENTINO. He Has Promised to Play Albert Reid's New March. Unlike many conductors Eugenio Sor rentino of the Banda Rossa will not al low his organization to play a composi tion in public until it has been thorough ly rehearsed. This, though his men are playing twice a day nearly the year round and are likely as competent to render a simple selection at sight aa any body of musicians. For this reason it ij exceedingly difficult to secure the interpretation of local compositions by this band. Sorrentino feels that his men have plenty to do in giving two con certs daily without spending the morn ing in rehearsal, although the busy con ductor himself devotes the forenoon to arranging his own and other music which he wishes to play. After considerable diplomatic corres pondence, howtver, between the man agement of the concerts here and Air. J. Angelo. secretary of the Banda Rossa, Sorrentino has consented to present during the Topeka season Albert T. Reid's new march, "Guardians of Liber ty." Mr. Angelo has requested that the band arrangement of the march be sent to him at Lies Moines, la. It will be thoroughly rehearsed before the band comes to Topeka September ly, 20 and 21 and those who have heard it expect the first rendition of the march at home and as given by the crack Italian band, to be quite a feature of the fall musical season. IDes Moines and Omaha have the band this w'eek, the week at Minneapolis hav ing been concluded with two big con certs yesterday. Those who buy season tickets before Wednesday morning may reserve nie-ht seats for The entire ser ies on Wednesday and Thursday. The general sale opens Friday morning. SMITH CENTER REUNION.

Ministers of Topeka not only prayed yesterday that the life of President Mc Kinley might be spared, but, like the parson of Berkley manor. they de clared war on anarchy as he declared war against the British. Very inspiring services were held at many of the churches yesterday, and fervent prayers were made for the re storation of the president to health. People went to church expecting to hear strong references to the sad ca lamity, and in no case were they dis appointed. Dr. McFarland of the First Methodist church, and Dr. M. F. McKirahan of the First United Presbyterian church, each denounced anarchists in most vig orous terms. Mr. McKirahan said: "Practical experience teaches us that to obtain peace it is often necessary to fight. Universal peace never will be re alized until all anarchists are exter minated. Then, and then only, will our presidents be safe. They have been permitted to remain in this country and formulate their plots because theAmer ican people are tolerant and long suf fering, but the time has now come when these revolutionists must be wiped out." Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, of the Cen tral Congregational church, preached a sermon on Christian duty, and stated in the course of his remarks that crimes like that of Czolgosz's were possible when one became possessed of over mastering egotism, and failed to live for Christ. At the First Baptist church, the t'nited Brethren church, and other churches, the evening services were turned into impromptu prayer services for the president. The same was true of the Sunday morning class meeting1 at several of the Methodist churches in the city. Rev. J. W. Bailey, who occupied the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church Sunday morning, referred in his open ing prayer to the attempted assassina tion of President McKinley as a na tional calamity. Later in his sermon speaking indirectly of the occurrence of Friday he said: "There are times when we wonder that the world is .advancing. Men can be as bad as they ever were, but the world is getting better. There are some as bad men in it as there ever were, but by and by there will be no conflicts and love will rule." The trust question came in for brief notice. "The problem of trusts is a per plexing one," said Rev. Mr. Bailey "There axe combinations of capital and of labor. If for the building up of man kind they are good; but when ihey s-mite down their neighbor they are not doing right. Today we stand in the face of both. A combination of labor may destroy capital; and a combina tion of capital may destroy labor. The elements of danger are in these. It is necessary that men study these ques tions." A contralto solo by Miss Nina Thom as was a special feature of the musical numbers in the morning. In the evening Rev. Edward Fowler, a representative of the American Mis sionary society, spoke on "Christian Unity" and afterward presented some of the phases of the work among the Mormons. Both services were well at tended. At the Church of the Good Shepherd Canon Bywater heid a special celebration of the Holy Communion intercessory for the recovery of President McKinley and in the evening he took for hi text "All flesh is grass; the dower thereof fallest, but the word of the Lord endureth for ever." He dilated upon the pious charac ter of the president, his magnificent hero ism in the fare of apDarent death, his confidence of the outcome, be it well or ill. being supported by this word of God which abideth forever after the traaisi tories of this world should pass away. Canon Bywater made reference to the safeguards that should be taken to pro tect the lives of our rulers. He also held similar services nt St. Si mon's in the afternoon and again at the Good Shepherd in the evening. HACKETT TURNED DOWN Attorney General Knox Gives Him a Jolt in Schley Matter. Buffalo, Sept. 9. Acting Secretary of the Navy Hackett has been pressing Attorney General Knox, both by wire and letter, to appoint one of the as sistant attorney generals to assist Cap tain Lemley, the judge advocate of the Schley court of inquiry, in the conduct of the case before the court. The at torney general, however, has declined to take a step which he believes would look like the government prosecution of the officer under investigation. The government, in his opinion, should have no part in the inquiry. It is an inquiry under the navy department, made at the request of Admiral Schley, and the government has nothing to do with it. The president himself recommended Admiral Schley for promotion, and now for the department of justice to detail an officer under it to assist in the con duct of the case would inevitably be construed as a desire on the part of the administration to convict Admiral Schley. The attorney general was sustained in his position by all the members of the cabinet whom he consulted. The whole question was gone over care fully at a meeting held in the Gleney house, adjoinintr the Milburn residence, yesterday. Attorney General Knox wired his decision to Acting Secretary Hackett yesterday. The members of the cabinet have no knowledge of any suggestion of postponing the Schley court. THE MODOCS LEA YE.
