Il DID MY DUTY"
So Declares Czolgosz Speaking Of the Assas-
sination.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept Friday
The Courier this morning prints the fol-
lowing:
What's the use Of talking about that?
killed the President. | am an an
archist, and simply did my duty, that's
all I'll say
Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of
President Mckinley, said these words to
Frank A. Olozanowski, editor of Buffa-
loski Polish newspaper Olozanowski
paid his second visit to the assassin's
cell. He was sent by the District At
torney in pursuance of vain efforts to
move the prisoners stubborn tongue.
"Czolgosz talked freely on every other
subject which l suggested, except his
crime" said Olozanowski tonight.
''His conversation would have been en-
PERTAINING coming from a man other than
the Presidents assassin. He talked on
the Polish alliance and a variety Of
other subjects, but when l spoke of his
crime he merely said: What's the use
of talking about that? / killed the
President. / am an anarchist. simply
did my duty, that's all I'll say
Czolgosz spoke earnestly and determined
ly. / tried him several ways, but he
would not add word to his declaration.

from him about the crime. Czolgosz is
intelligent and l don't believe ne will

FOUNDERINa OF THE HUDSON.
Her Crew Of Twenty FIVE Mon Believed to
Esva Been Drowned.
(By the Associated Press.)

Detroit, Mich, Sept. ia special to
the Tribune from Sault Ste. Marie, says:
"The steamer Nicol, which arrived
here from Duluth, today brought the re-
port that the steamer Hudson probably
fourdcred off Eagle River last Mon
day, her crew Of twenty-five men being
drowned in the heavy sea. Captain Nc
Leans story clears up the mystery sur
rounding the sinking of steamer with
two masts seen from the shore Monday,
when the report was sent out that the
crew had been rescued by steamer
nearby.
According to McLean's statement the
Hudson left Duluth some time after tho
Nicol, and passed her during Sunday
night. At ten o'clock Monday morning
the Nicol again came up to the Hudson.
A furious storm was then raging and
the seas were sweeping the decks of the
Nicol. The Hudson was lying about
eight miles to the westward of Eagle
River, headed out from shore, with a
heavy list to starboard.'

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
The Churches Th,onged and All Business at a
Standstils.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The Capital
City today gave evidence in most i'm
pressive manner that its heart was with
Canton in the solemn hour of President
McKinleys funeral. At exactly half past
two o'clock the city ceased from labor
for five minutes. Street cars throughout
the city were at a standstill, and gem
orally the car operatives and their pas
sengers united III silent service. Tclc-
graph instruments, typewriting machines,
elevators, indeed all the appurtenances
of business throughout the capital were
for the time, noiseless, and the great
city was as quiet as a prairie at mid
night.
The people in accordance with Presi
dent Roosevelts proclamation repaired
to their churches to attend the memorial
services and rarely have the places of
worship been SO crowded. All dencmina-
tions, Professionals, Catholics and Jews
united in these.
The Metropolitan M. E. church. where
Mr.. Mckinley worshipped, was the centre
of interest, and here the SCI vices were
more impressive than elsewhere. The
Presidents pew was draped in black and
left vacant. The crowd could not be ac-
commodated in the main body of the
church and a second service progressed
simultaneously in the lecture hall.
Bishop Warren and DR.. Crawford spoke
in each place. One significant utterancc
by DR.. Crawford was chat the President S
words when Czolgosz was assaulted,
would do more for law and order than
anything that had been said for a gem
Grafton.
The services at the Episcopal pro-
Cathedral also were elaborate and i'm
pressive. Bishop Satterlee made the ad-
dress. He felt called, he said, to sound
note of warning against the unshielded
and unprotected position in which the
American people place their chief magis-
trate and to reproach them rather than
the Ignorant, plotting anarchists for this
third tragedy in the nations history"
Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, delivered the principal
address at the First Congregational
church. His keynote was the need of i'm
pressing upon all Americans the necessity
OF personal respect for the law. He
deprecated the general suggestions thai
the people take the law into their own
hands and put every anarchist speedily to
death. While anarchy may be the ex-
IRENE of lawlessness, he said every
breaking of the law breathes, though in
slighter degree, the same spirit of law
lessness. 1t was the duty of the citizen
to show by his own conduct and example
that social order was the elimination oi
human happiness.

sanguine cou d Expect.

Canton, Ohio. Sept. 19.-The friends
Of Mrs. Mckinley do not tonight regard
her as being upon the verge of a col

she has enjoyed for the last five years.
DR.. Rixey said late this evening:
Mrs. Mckinley is bearing up as well
as. could be expected under the clrcum-

that she has been doing as we'll as any
woman could do under similar cir
cumstances. We have no immediate
expectations of anything but favorable
conditions in her case"

vices for the dead President were held
at the Lindell Auditorium, into which
more than five thousand people crowded.
William j. Bryan was one of the speak
ers. He said:
1T is unfortunate that in the heat of
political controversy partisanship some
times becomes so strong as to cause in
justice to be done the motives of politi--
cal opponents, and it should be our con-
slant aim to place our campaigns upon
SO high plane that personalities will
be eliminated and the issues made to
turn upon the principles involved.
Let Us hope that this national afflic-
ton, which unitos all factions in COM
mon sorrow, will result in broader
charity and more liberal spirit among
those who, by different policies and
through different parties, seek to pro-
mote the welfare and increase the glory
Of our common country"

within the discretion of the court to de-

who had been on the ground should be

however, that ''the weight of authority

the second day after Santiago Bay was
reached by the Flying Squadron" he
had seen the Cristobal Colon lying in

time another Spanish vessel of the Wis
caya class partly visible. He thought
both were in view for three or four days.
The witness also said that when Admiral

setts previous to the bombardment of the
Colon on May 31st, he had heard that
officer say to Captain Higginson, I'VE
are going in, but we will not go in suff-
GENTLY near to endanger the vessels"
Hc had been told that the distance was to
be ten thousand yards.
After the bombardment ceased Major
Wood said, the Spanish shore batteries
continued to fire at the American SHIPS.
At this point he had gone forward where
he had again seen Commodore Schley
did you then hear any orders or in
structions?" he was asked.
Il then heard some one say, and ! be-
