RESOLUTION VOTED DOWN.
Socialists Decline to Express Re-
gret Over the Deed.

Chicago, Ills, Sept. S.-Two thousand
members of the Socialist party voted
down resolution of regret for the at
tempted assassination of the President
at a meeting of Bergman's Grove, River
side today. The argument of those OPP
posed to the resolution was that McKin-
ley is the representative Of the capital
list class. and that his safety or danger
are matters of no concern to Socialists.
The resolution was introduced by the
Goodspeed, and was designed to count
eract the tendency of some people TO
place socialists and anarchists in the
same class. incidentally, expression was
made of the pain of Socialists, In COM
mon with other citizens, at the attempted
assassination. This was regarded by
many present as a letting down of the
barrier of hatred, which separates the
capitalists from the common people, and
they defeated it.

Players Discussed.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York, Sept. S.--A meeting of the
Players Protective Association was held
here today, the delegates present being
all National League players as those in
the American League are all out west and
could not get to New York and back with
out interfering with their respective
clubs.
The question OF the punishment of
players who jump their contracts was
the principal topic discussed. 1t was unan-
imously decided that in the future any
player, who, after signing enc contract,
jumps to another club. shall be summarily
expelled by the association fA
In the matter of the signing of play
ers, the association decided to take no
cognizance of the one year option clause
in the National League contracts. Under
resolution passed today, player in the
future will sign for one year only. If at
the end of the season he desires to go
from one club to another, or from one
organization to another he Is at perfect
liberty to do so as far as the Player6'

McKeesport, Pa, Sept. S.-Two hun

Guffey Hollow, a mining hamlet across
Youghiogheny River from Buena Vista.

the operation as soon as the patient
passes anything, even gas, through the
rectum, it is a sign that peristaltic ac-

the danger of peritonitis was practically

performed on the President, the surgeons
wish to know at once even when gas is

THE FIRST OPERATION.
The First Publication of the Full
Details Of It.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. S.-The Express to-
morrow will say regarding the first oper-
alton performed on the President:
1.-THE operation performed at Emer-
gency Hospital left no need for a second
operation to follow 1t almost Immediately.
The full details of the operation hereto
fore have no. been known. 1t was per-
formed by Dr.. Matthew ID. Mann. His
first assistant was DR.. Herman Myntcr.
His second assistant was DR.. John Par
menter. His third assistant was DR.. Lee,
of st. Louis, who happened to be on the
exposition grounds at the time of the
tragedy and placed his services at the
disposal of the President DR., Nelson w.
Wilson noted the time of the operation
and took the notes DR.. Eugene Wasdin,
Of the Marine Hospital gave the
anaesthetic.
"Dr. Rixey arrived at the latter part
of the operation and held the light. DR..
Park arrived at the close of the opera
ton. 1t was DR.. Mann who welded the
knife. The operation took almost an
hour. A cut about five inches long was
made. 1t was found necessary to turn
up the stomach of the President in order
to trace the course of the bullet. The
bullet hole was small, and it was care
fully closed after which search was
made for the hole in the back wall oil
the stomach This hole, where the bull
let went out of the stomach was larger
than the hole in the front wall of the
stomach. 1t was sewed up in three lay
ers. This wound was larger than the
wound where the bullet entered the
stomach because the bullet in it's course
forced the tissues through ahead of it.

was absolutely necessary was performed
by DR.. Mann with rare skill. The dan

stomach might go into the abdomina

1t so happened that there was very lit

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. S.-There is no
truth in the reports that the Cabinet yes
terday discussed the question of the
Wholesale arrest of anarchists in different
parts of the country, although in an in
formal way they have naturally talked
the destruction of all governments and
the advisability of possible legislation
upon the subject. Neither have they can
vassed SO far as can be learned, the adj
visa bilty of a proclamation to foreign
countries concerning the catastrophe. The
necessity for such a notification would
seem useless as every government in the
world had already taken cognizance of the
crime, as is evident from the cables from
all parts of the world that have poured
in here.
Either directly or through the prime
ministers, every government in Europe
has expressed it's symathies. Not only
did King Edward and Emperor William
cable direct in their own names, but the

Should occasion arise, contingency

for the Vice. President TIC discharge the

The present situation has called promi-
nently to the attention of the members
of the Cabinet, and of other distinguished

body which could proclaim the disability
