IN FAVOR OF cANTEEN.
Board Of Managers of Soldiers Homes De-
clare 1t Is the Best Method of Solv-
ing the Drink Problem.

Milwaukee, Sept. 3O.-The annual
tour of inspection of the board of
managers of the national soldiers
homes was completed yesterday with
the inspection of the national home
in this city. Gen. Mcmahon and his
fellow members left for their several
homes last night. Gen.. Mcmahon
said: "The board has decided to
maintain canteens at all the homes
for the good and sufficient reason
that experience has taught us that
it is better for the veteran and for
the people in the community in which
the homes are located. The canteens
are properly conducted at these SOL
diers' homes and the result is that
the veterans do not squander their
money in cheap saloons, nor do they
drink too much. What is more, I do
not believe any of the pressure will
be brought to bear on us in favor of
abolition of the canteen."

The news created a sensation in

unprepared for news of just this

Der in all between 1000 and $500 men.
These are distributed among various

Of Great Things.

London, Sept. 2s.-Gen. Gaselee,
who was commander of the British
forces in China, was interviewed
Friday regarding the international
troops in China. He said the Ameri-

always got on splendidly with our
American comrades. It is most inn
portant that we should keep in with

things. All ranks of our army got
on splendidly with them and we feel
sure that such intercourse helped to
cement the friendship which, trust,
will always exist between u.s."

CZOLGOSZ COLLAPSED
Had to Be Carried from Train
into Auburn Prison.
che Assassin Made the Corridors Echs
with Cries Of Terror While Being
Stripped for New Clothes-Mes-
sage to Hts Father.

Auburn, n. Y, Sept. 2s.-Czolgosz.
President McKinley's murderer, in tho
custody of Sheriff Caldwell, Of Eric
county, and 81 deputies, arrived in
Auburn at 3:15 a. m. The prison is
only about so yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival of the train
there was crowd Of about 200 peo-
pie. Either for fear of the crowd,
which was not very demonstrative.
or of the sight of the prison, Cool
gosx' nerves gave out and two dep
uty sheriffs were compelled to prac-
tically carry the man into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse, and he was dragged up the
stairs and into the main hall. He
was placed in sitting posture ON the
bench while the handouts were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most abject
terror. AS soon as the handouts
were unlocked the man was dragged
into the principal keepers Office. As
N the case of all prisoners the OH
:ers Immediately proceeded to strip
him and put on new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison CORR
lors echo with evidence of his terror.
The prison physician, DR.. John Germ,
examined the man and ordered his re-
moval to the cell in the condemned
'ow, which he will occupy until he
IS taken to the electric chair The
doctor declared that the man was
suffering from fright and terror, but
said that he was shamming to some
sxtent.
The collapse of the murderer was a
surprise to every one. En- route from
Buffalo he showed no indication of
breaking down. He ate heartily of
sandwiches and smoked cigars when
cot eating. He talked some and ex-
pressed regret for his crime. He said:
L am especially sorry for Mrs. Nc
Kinley." He reiterated his former
statement that he had had no &C
completes and declared that he never
had heard of the man under arrest
in st. Louis, who claimed to have
tied the handkerchief over his hand,
concealing the pistol with which the
president was shot. He says the
was not tied. He went
behind the Temple of Music, arranged
the handkerchief so as to hide tho
weapon and then took his place in
the crowd. To Jailer Mitchell he
sent this message to his father:
Tell him I am sorry left such Q
bad name"
