fully believed that President Mckinley was entirely out of danger and or che rapid road to recovery. The hunting party moved in the direction of Mount Marcy. the highest peak in the Adiron- over three hours when a mounted cour- fer rode rapidly into the Tahawas club with a message to the vice president stating that Mir. Mckinley was in 6 critical condition. The message had been telegraphed to North Creek and from there telephoned to a point ten miles-south of Tahawas. Extra guides and runners were at once deployed frcm the club in the direction of Mount Marcy with instructions to sound a general alarm in order to find the vice president as soon as possible.
 Far-reaching megaphones and rifle cracking signals of mountain climbing guides. as hour after hour passed away, marked the passage of the searching mountaineers as they climbed the steep ridges of Mount Marcy Just as the afternoon began to merge with th,. shadows of early evening, and as the searchers neared the summit of the lofty mountain responsive echoes of the distant signals were heard and an- swered. and the scouts and the Roose- welt party came within hearing distance of each other.
 When Colonel Roosevelt was reached and informed of the critical condition of the DreSidapr ba cou1d e..a roalx- t,a lieve the burden of the messages per- sonally delivered to him. Startled at the serious nature of the news. the vice president at 5:45 o'clock started back for the Tahawas club. In the meantime the Adirondack stage line placed at his disposal relays of horses covering the thirty five miles to North Creek. A deluging thunderstorm had rendered the roads unusually heavy. | Without any delay he moved as rapidly as possible in the direction of North Creek, the northern terminus of the Adirondack railroad, where his score tary. William Loeb Jr.. and Superin- tendent W. D. Hammond of the Dela- ware and Hudson railway, with a spe- l Cldl tram, were tN HIS dIilN d |
 Soon after Colonel Roosevelt started night came on and made the trip very difficult and dangerous, as mile after
 mile was travelled in almost impenetra- bIe darkness. But the experienced guides piloted the vice president safely to his objective joint. Not until hs dashed up to the special train at North Creek at 5:22 this morning did he learr that President Mckinley had passed away at Buffalo at 2:15 o'clock.
 Mir. Loeb, Colonel Roosevelt's privat. secretary, was the first to break tho news to him. The new president was visibly affected by the intelligence ant | expressed desire to reach Buffalo a: quickly as possible. Within one m;n
 ute after his arrival at North Creek h:
 boarded the special train, which at onc' pulled out in the direction of Buffalo | via Saratoga and Albany. He did no complain of fatigue. but looked some

MESSAGES COME BY THE THOUSAND Missives of Coincidence Flash Into the Milburn
 Residence

Buffalo, September 1.-The telegrams that have poured into the Milburn resi- dence since the news of the tragedy was flashed to the uttermost ends of the earth will not be given to the public at present. They already number tens of thousands. Hundreds of them are still unopened by Secretary Cortelyou. From the crowned heads of Europe, as well as humble citi- zens of the republic in distant States have come messages of sympathy and re- quests for the latest news from the sick room
 Emperor William and King Edward were heard from last night, and today the Governors of almost every State had telegraphed on behalf of the grief strick- en people of this commonwealth.
 The members of the immediate family of the President who are at the Milburn residence are the Presidents sister, Mrs Duncan, and Miss Mckee, the Presidents nieces, the Misses Barber. and their brother, Assistant Paymaster John Bar Der. It is probable that most of the relatives will return home shortly if the Presidents condition improves as the physicians desire the house to be as quiet as possible Only Mrs. Mckinley, the actual attendants and Dr, Rixey and Sec retary Cortelyou will remain.

 The Globe. ministerialist, says: 'The President, yielding to popular feeling. has walked right into trap of one of many enemies, daily increasing in the States and threatening the government It is not far distant when the United States will see in him the decadence of the North American republic"

WOULD-BE ASSASSIN
 ONE OF ANARCHIST BAND

Cleveland, September 7.-Several years ago Czolgosz was employed In Newburg mill. Among his fellow workmen there he was known as Fred Neiman. He is a member of the Forest City Castle Lodge Mo- p of the Golden Eagle. His former associates describe him as a German-Po of about 26 years of age, 5 feet ' inches in height. with light complexion and brown hair.
 They say he was a queer man, but was known to have most violent temper. It is. said the would-he assassin Is strong inf1del and Socialist. He was last seen around Newburg during the past spring At that time he was living on a farm with his father near Warrensvlle, Ohio.
 John Ginder, an employe of the New burg wire mill. where Czolgosz formerly worked, and who Is also a member of Golden Eagle lodge received letter from the .would-be-a assassin in July last dated West Seneca, N Y.

I looked and saw the President draw his right hand up under his coat. and press ing his lips together, gave Czolgosz the most scornful and contemptuous look possible to imagine.
 Negro Seized czoIsosz.
 At the same time I reached for the young man and caught his left arm. The big negro standing just back of him, and who would have been next to take the Presidents hand struck the young man in the neck with one hand and with the other reached for the revolver, which had been discharged through the handker- chief, and the sshots from which had set fire to the linen.
 "Immediately dozen men fell upon the assassin and bore him to the floor. While on the floor Czolgosz again tried to dis charge the revolver, but before he could point it at the President 1t was knocked from his hand by the negro. It flew across the floor and one of the military men picked 1t up and put it in his pocket.
 "On the way down to the station Czolgosz would not say word. but seem ed greatly agitated."
