Act.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE news OF
the shooting of President Mckinley,
which reached Washington first
through the medium of the Associated
Press, caused tremendous sensation.
So frequent have been rumors Of this
sort, often put afloat in recent years
for stock jobbing purposes, that the
general disposition at first was to
withhold full acceptance Of the story
of the news, but when it was con-
frmed a feeling Of deep gloom and
profound sorrow spread over the city,
for Mr.. McKinley's delightful person
atty had endeared him to the citizens
of Washington, apart from the official
class, in a degree that rarely has been
eQualed. It was some time before the
full force of the blow was appreciated;
the people were stunned and they
could not respond at once and fully
comprehend the extent OF the great
disaster that had fallen on the country
and themselves.
The telephone system of the city
was simply paralyzed for time and
many were the calls upon the news
offices and upon officials who might
be supposed to have knowledge Of the
details of the shooting that the oper-
ators were overwhelmed. A reporter
for the Associated Press carried to
the White House the first bulletin an
nouncing the shooting of the presi-
dent. The executive mansion was
reached about 4:25 and at that time
all its few inmates were In
Total Ignorance of the Tragedy
In which their chief had just played
SO serious part. A policeman paced
up and down under the portico as
usual, but his serene countenance in
Dictated that he was totally ignorant
Of the affair. Inside there were few
to receive the news, the most promi-
nent parsonage there being tele-
graph operator, Assistant Secretary
Pruden, who has been in charge of
the White House, having left his Of
fee for the day.
Major Pruden, assistant secretary
to the president, and Colonel Crooks,
disbursing officer, both veterans of The
White House force, arrived together
shortly after 5 o'clock and assumed
charge of the executive mansion. Ma
jor Pruden had passed through a sim
liar experience when President Gar
field was shot and Colonel Crooks
service went back beyond the Lin
coin assassination. He was in tears
when he said:
Eyes, it is the third affair Of this
kind since I came into the White
House."
Such public men as were in the city
called during the evening. There were
also calls from representatives Of sew
eral foreign legations.

president Mckinney, FRED gardner
precipitated a riot in front of the
newspaper windows in Washington
street. Gardner, who narrowly es-
capped being killed by the Infatuated
mob of sorrow-stricken c.Cizens, owes
his preservation to Policeman Null
cahy. Mulcahy rescued him after he
had been knocked down, kicked and
beaten and chased into basement
saloon, where he fought like maniac
a score of men who were enraged SUI
ficiently to want his life. After the
officer arrived Gardner was led down
the street to the central police sta
ton, still followed by an angry crowd,
who begged and pleaded with the po-
liceman to allow them to vent Lneir
vengeance on the prisoner.
Tacoma, Wash. Sept. IA stranger
in front of some newspaper bulletins
of the presidents condition remarked
defantly to the crowd about him:
That's good. He ought to have been
shot long ago." An old man wearing
a G. A. R. button leaped out OF the
crowd and struck the young man. He
fell to the ground like a log and Lne
aged veteran bounced upon him. He
pounded the man numerically, while
the crowd shouted approval. FInaLy
he arose and the young man got away.
Immediately the crowd took up the
cry of Lynch him!" and started in
pursuit. The man finally escaped.
Pittsburg, Kan, Sept. 7.-When the
Italian anarchists at Chicago, near
here, heard of the attempted assas,
sination of President Mckinley they
held big jubilation. A mob went out
from Pittsburg and drove the anarch,
lists out of town. A number of shots
were fired.

ROOSEVELT WILL ACT,
Constitution Provides for Such an
Emergency as This.

SSuStitdIiSH ETONidCS lOI QUIT
Emergency as This.
Washington, Sept. 7.-Steps have
been taken to provide for the future
of the executive branch of the govern
ment. 1t was realized that even under
the most favorable conditions the
presidents injuries are of such a
character as to make 1t almost GER
tain that he cannot undertake for a
long time to discharge the duties of
chief executive, even in the most for
NAL way. Every member of the cab
met able to travel is expected to speed
at once to Buffalo, and there a cabinet
council will be held to decide upon
the course to be followed by the ex-
ecutive branch. Vice President Roose-
welt is understood to be in Vermont,
and, of course, will hold himself in
readiness to do whatever is necessary
and to meet the obligations imposed
upon the vice president by the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. These are
contained in paragraph 6, section /,
article 2, nthe following words:
"In case of the removal of the presi-
dent from office, or of his death, resig-
nation, or inability to discharge the
QoWClo Ouu uuIlSo VI luS 0clu OuSO,
the same shall devolve upon the vice
president, etc."
Under the terms of this article, as
soon as Mr.. Roosevelt shall be as
sured by proper authority, probably
in this case by the senior member Of
the cabinet, Secretary Hay, he will
undertake at once in a provisional
way to discharge such duties as may
devolve on him. Much will depend
upon the report of the physicians upon
the character of the presidents in
juries as to the extent to which Mr..
Roosevelt will discharge
The Presidential Duties.
If he shall undertake them at all, and
it is almost certain that, in the alb
sence of great emergency in public
affairs, even If called to assume these
obligations, the vice president will
powers to the discharge of the most
routine and indispensable functions.
For the present, the thought of a
fatal termination of the PRESIDENT
condition is referred to with awe-like
apprehension, and there is hopeful,
even prayerful, anticipation that there
may UC liz uOSu lOI IuGSLluS IuGS0
grave emergencies, which would fol-
low a fatal termination of the tragic
event. Should the worst come, how
ever, it is realized that important
changes in the public affairs of the
country would soon be brought about.
There would be an extra session Of
congress as the Constitution express
ly provides for it in such contin-
gency.
All this has been thought Of here
only in the vaguest manner and con-
fdence Is almost universal here, based
on the presidents magnificent consti-
tuition, his present excellent physical
condition and the tremendous strides
that have been made since GarneId's
time in surgery, that there will be no
occasion to resort to the constitutional
provisions made to meet the demise
Of a president in office.
