WILL NOT AFFECT GRAIN MAR
KET
Chicago, Sept 7-W. S. Warren, pres
ident of the Chicago board of trade,
when asked if the attempted assassina-
tion of President Mckinley would affect
the prices Of grains and stocks said:

HEARING MAY WAIT ON RESULTS.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. Under the
code of criminal procedure a prisoner
has the right to a speedy hearing be-
fore a magistrate. Whether this right
will be given Czologsz is a matter of
speculation. A reporter asked Chief of
Detectives Cuzak today when Czologsz
would be brought into the police court
I don't know said Mr.. Cuzak. THE
matter rests with District Attorney
Penny. His wishes are to be Obeyed by
us. I don't know when he will be taken
into court. 1t may be that we shall
wait to see how the presidents injuries
result
1t has not been determined whether
Czologsz will be kept at police head
quarters or taken to jail but in all pro-
quarters and closely guarded until he
has preliminary hearing in the police
court.
. HIGH PULSE NOT ALARMING.
Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 7.-1O:15 a. m
The rapidity of the presidents pulse
does not unduly alarm the physicians.
DR. Rixey says that the president has
always had a somewhat erratic pulse
and its sudden rise this morning was
not unexpected. The president is con-
scious and is calm and collected al
though still somewhat drowsy from the
effects of ether administered to him
yesterday.
MAY USE x-RAY.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept 7.-At 1870
o'clock the physicians were still in con-
sultation. There is some talk of using
the X-ray to locate the bullet in the
abdomen, but nothing has yet been de-
cfded. If the bullet can be located an
other attempt viii be made to extract
it.
FEAR SEPTIC POISONING.
Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 7-11:2O A. M
The fear of the presidents physicians
is that septic poisoning will set in and
it is for the first symptoms Of this that
they are now watching. The bullet
lodged in the muscles of the back and
the physicians have decided for the |
present it is of secondary Importance. |
The bullet took a downward course but |
neither the intestines nor the kidneys |
were injured. OF this the physicians are |
confident.If Inflammation should appear !
in the neighbOrhOOd of the place where |
the bullet is believed to have lodged the |
ROentgen ray will be used to locate the |
bullet and the doctors do not think |
there will be difficulty in extracting it.
