Buffalo, N. Y. Sept. 6, 1901.
 While attending reception in the Temple of Music, at the ex- position grounds at Buffalo, Pres ident Mckinley was twice shot by assassin Fred Nienan, an an- archistic Po1ander of Detroit a. bout 3:30 o'clock this afternoon.
 The President was surrounded by Private Secretary Corte1you, Mayor Butler and several secret service men. The President was Tn the act of shaking hands with the assassin, who as he proffered his right hand fired two shots from a pistol that was concealed by a handkerchief that covered the murders hands. Mckinley fell back into Cortelyou's arms.
 One bullet struck the upper portion of the breast bone and glanced off and the other pene- trated the abdomen five inches below the left nipple one and half inches to the medium line. The wound showed the abdomen to be open thru the course the bullet had taken, and 1t was sew ed up later with silk stitches by the physician. The President stood the operation we'll, and at last account his condition justifies a strong hope of recovery.
 Some reports have it that the one ball penetrated both walls of stomach; while the other lodged in the brest bone and was taken out by the surgeon, but the for mer ball has not yet been found.
 Dective Gerry caught the ass assin. Officer Foster smashed him in the face. Dozens of per sons jumped in and catching hold of Nieman and left him bleeding and worse for usage.
 The people were excited, and hot for the prisoners life.
 The President was removed to a hospital on the exposition grounds.
 The man who did the shooting Is 28 years of age, five feet nine inches talla and weighs l60 pounds. He has dark brown hair, blue eyes and a smooth face with reg ular features, except that he has a rather prominent nose. He speaks very good English, but 1t is not yet known whether he was born in this country or not. He claimed first that he came from Cleveland, and afterwords said he came from Chicago; again he said he was from Detroit, but he

has told so many conflicting stories that his real home is still a matter a conjecture.
 MRS. M'KlNLEY BRAVE.
 Mrs. Mckinley was informed of the attempt assassination at 10 o'clock and while shocked, stood the ordeal brave1y, She is now under the doctors care.
 Mrs. Mckinley bears up bravely in her sorrow and the physicians in attendance feel but little con- cern on her account. At the re- quest of the President, whose first thoughts were of her, she was told that he was not serious ly wounded and when she saw him he had rallied from the oper- ation and was suffering but little pain. She was treasured by their meeting and was content to leave his side during the night and rest herself. The surgeons who operated on the President are In constant attendance with the corps of the most skilled nur- ses obtainab1e and the sufferer is the recipient of every care which their skill and science suggest.
 When the news of the shooting surging crowds of men and wom- en surrounding the Temple.
 The first were cries of rage, and when told to keep quite, that the President lived, silence set- tied upon the monstrous crowd, only accentuated by the sobbing of women, or sort of gasp which run thru the multitude like a 
 When the chief magistrate was brought from the Temple to the hospital, every head was un- covered and low cries of pain burst from the surging crowds.
 The assassin was kept in the Tempel for some time, surrounded by a strong guard he was taken forth to the local jail and closely guarded.
 Like waves of the sea flashing upon shore the crowd threw them selves upon the group ot blue coats, only companies of police saved the officers from being trampled under foot and the asas- sin torn to shreds.
 By superhuman efforts, the police forced their way thru the well-dreSSed mob of death-hun- gry men. In the crush clothes of hundreds were nearly torn off and many women hurt,

Rear Admiral Sampson
 Thought to be Dying.

Boston. Aug. 31.-A special to the Traveller, from Lake Sunapee, N. H., says that unless all the signs fail, Rear Admiral William T. Sampson has gone thru his last campaign. Those who have had the privilege of seeing him 1n the last week say he will never be able to appear before the con- ing cort of inquiry in Washing tom.
 Rear Admiril Sampson is very i'll man. That is the verdict of the physicians. who from time to time have quietly made the jour ney from Boston to Portsmouth to attend him. The physicians refuse to discuss the case. One surgeon of the Portsmouth Navy Yard said:
 "The Admiral is doing as we'll as can be expected"
 MAY DIE BEFORE INOUIR-
 FRY.
 Washington, Aug. 31.-It is re- ported in washington tonight that Rear Admiral Sampson Is very dangerously i'll. Secretary of State Hay and Postmaster General Smith, who are at Suna- apee Lake N. H., near Burk | Haven, are said to be authority l for the statement that the Rear cannot live until the date fixed for the meeting of the Schley Court of Inquiry.

Governor Stanley has even com
menced the letter writing period OF
his candidacy for the United states
Senate. 1t may appear different 10
the average voter than 1t appears to
the writer but If the difference Is not
paramount the governor would do well
to husband his sheckels and his
strength, There is not n single ele-
ment of the latter in his composition
TO spare, In fact there Is about as
little of 1t In him as In any governor
the state has ever had, When we say
this we take no exclusively partisan
view of his character 1t Is quail
lty which is recognized by It's absence
by not a few Of his party supporters.

many of them, But he Is part OF a
big machine and has been In position
to get for himself a rpull". It's pos
slble he may be successful.

Panl Morton, vice president of the
Santa Fe railroad has been lecturing
and expressing some rather remark
able sentiments on the future of rail-
roading. TO anyone who is at all ia.
miliar with the development Of mod
ern industries his reasoning seems In
many respects exactly right. He Is
reported as follows in an eastern pa
per; Panl Morton, third vice presi-
dent Of the Santa Fe In a lecture be
fore students and professors of the
College of Commerce and AdminiStra-
tlon at Philadelphia warmly advo-
Gated the legalization Of pooling. '.In
my opinion railroad rates should be
unnuctuating and without preferences
as between individuals and communi-
ties. One of three things In the rail-
road business Is sure to happen
First, the legalization of pooling
where the railroads may make enforc-
able contracts between themselves for
a division of the business based on
reasonable rates; or, second, the uni
hcation of ownership, which, in the
absence of the first proposition, is
making rapid strides; or, third, the
taking over Of the railroad by the gov
ernment, to own and operate them,
as is done in Germany and some
other European countries" D." The re-
markable thing about this statement
is that in any of the three solutions
he proposes the elimination Of com
petition is contemplated. There is a
vast difference in competition between
the small and the great industries,
1t works very well with any small
institutions but in such great ones as
railroads, etc, competition becomes
war. 1t means financial losses and de-
moralizatlon until some kind of agree
ment can be arrived at, either for the

establishment of rates or the division
Of traffic or both, This Of course Is the
consummation for which the capital
ist deyoutly wishes. 1t takes no con-
sideration of the public or the con-
sumer In short 1t Is the establish
ment of a monopoly or trust. With
such agreements prohibited by law 1t
drives the railroads and other great
industries to other expedients for the
elimination of competition. The ex-
pedient now mostly in use to avoid
the laws against pooling is the com
munity Of interest" plan, This is
the consolidation of interests into one
large central corporation which is
supposed to do business legally. 1t is
the plan followed in the establishment
Of the steel trust and most others,
1t seems to be quite satisfactory to
the capitalists too but the public Is
not exactly pleased,
Public ownership is the only solu-
tion that will take care Of the Inter
ests of all concerned. II is, of'c6Virse
often regarded as visionary and vaga-
rious, but whatever it is it is gowing
in popularity more than any other po-
litical theory that has come to the
front in the last thirty years, The
fact that such men as Morton regard
the passing Of competition as certain
will lead the people quickly to con-

competition, and the public owner

Admiral Sampson must have the
largest mouth Of any man In the coun-
try. This must be true or he would
not be able to get his foot into 1t so
often, The last time he accomplished
this feat was when he filed his pro-
test to Admiral Dewey's definition Of
the Santiago victory, Dewey has had
more to do with victories, and acloscr
and shorter range acquaintance with
the real article than his critic. Fur
ther than this, 1t is but few weeks
since Sampson was declared by his
physicians to be mentally and physlc-
ally unfit to give his testimony before
the court:of lnQuirey, The public will
be very likely to think that under all
the circumstances he Is at least mem
tally unfit now to pass such criticisms
upon those that like Dewey have
mixed up with the things Of which
he speaks in close personal relations
Mt the time they happened.

"Me Too" Platt which has raised
such tempest in the old mans bo-
som, Is something that may well be
studied with reference to other polit-
Icians than Boss Platt II Is u per-
feet picture Of the boss and of the le-
climate result Of machine politics.
Among other things the article says
ole cared nothing for the issue,
nothing for the measures he fur
thered he was interested In winning
the game, only because by winning 1t
he believed that he could destroy his
old enemies, and with their destruc-
tlon he felt he would find some way
to wipe the smirch from his name.
That finally came to be Platts mas
tering passion, almost monomanlac'
Because he was pessimist, he
scOrned TO hesitate at means.
"platt's whole life Is devoted to his
treasure; he cares nOthiug for and
knows nothing of the principles of
parties. He is merely a stalwart. If
it will help him in New York, Platt
will vote for free trade or free silver
or any issue which the republican
caucns might espouse. lie does not
even consider public sentiment in his
reckonings. A long life with the ma
chine has blunted his political moral
sense. A moral issue Is a color In the
prism which his mental eye does not
discern. "But Platt Is narrow,
both morally and intellectually speak
ing. At his home he reads an occa-
sional book and sometimes he goes to
the opera or to the theatre, for his
delight in music still remains the
soft spot which he turns to humanity.
But In the main the mans whole
exlstance Is wapped up In contempIa-
tion of the intestinal phenomenon
of his party in New York state. 1t
is matter Of absorbing Importance
to Platt TO know that in the Tenth
ward in Syracuse, Bill Jones, who
was defeated for a place in the coun-
ty convention by the John Smith
gang; has finally got Tom Brwon on
his side, and will join In W it'll the
Robinson fellows to beat jim Hughes
for ward committeeman, and thereby
discredit the Smith gang; or that up
in Oswego, where they eat fish ON
Friday and vote the democratic ticket
the Irish have offended the bow and
arrow French by naming Cahill for re-
corder, and that there Is chance to
trade in u republican over in the east
ern wards Of the town, and thereby
elect an alderman at the next city
election. Hundreds Of these situa-
tions find abiding place in Platt's
mind"
And this Is a good and true pencil
likeness Of the political boss wher-
ever he is found, either in ward poll
tics or In the United States Senate

negroes was killed by the white mer.
another was wounded and is reported

Phillips. a negro, in the earlier part OF
the night, who shot and killed Lucius
Reed. a plantation manager, in Cleve-
land, Tuesday. He was captured in the
swamps near there Saturday night and
lvnched by mob Of unknown men.
Phillips was discovered in the swamps
