a reliable report that the president is
dead.
Vice President Roosevelt might take
the oath as president in Buffalo or at
Oyster Bay or wherever he happened
to be should he receive news of Presi-
dent McKinley's death. He would not
wait for the secretary Of state Or the
cabinet to notify him, for they are not
clothed with such responsibility. In
the case of Vice President Arthur. the
cabinet did, however, notify him Of the
death of President Garfield. The MEM
bers of the cabinet were present at
the death of the president, and they
performed that function.
The law of succession, in case of the
death or disability of the vice presi-
dent, places the members OF the cab
met in the line of succession excepting
alone the secretary of agriculture, that
office not having been created when the
law was passed.
The line of succession to-day is:
Vice President Roosevelt. Secretary
Hay, Secretary Gage, Secretary Root,
Attorney General Knox, Postmaster
General Smith, Secretary Long and
Secretary Hitchcock.
Should President Mckinley die, the
members of his cabinet would tender
their designations to the. new presi-
dent, and await his pleasure. lie would
ask each of them to retain his port.
folio for time until he had had time
to select his advisers. Some of them
might be asked to remain indefinitely
The change would not affect the grea t
departments, but it would most Sc.
riously affect some officials and mem
bers of congress in their higher power
Of speaking for the administration en-
important political matters. The gov.
eminent meanwhile would, however
run on without hitch.

Gated spirit of hopefu]ness. The
president rested we'll, there were no
alarming conditions of temperature
or pulse and the spirits of the sufferer
were strong and CHEEKY. The feeling
of hope was quite general about the

in sharp contrast to the hopelessness
and regret that prevailed Friday night.
Mrs. Mckinley bears up bravely in
her sorrow and the physicians in at
tendance feel but little concern OH her
account. At the request of the presi-
dent, whose first thought was of her,
she was told that he was not seriously
wounded and when she saw him he had
rallied from the operation and was
suffering but little pain. She was re-
assured by their meeting and was con-
tent to leave his side during the night
and rest herself.

the RULES PROVIDING FOR SUCCESSION TO the PRESIDENCY.

Following close upon the awful news
of the shooting of President Mckinley
and the possible fatal termination OF
his wounds, comes the question OF sue
cession to the Office OF president and
the rules which operate in snch cases.
1t seems that the law of succession
passed by congress in 1856 would not
apply inthe present contingency. That
law was enacted to provide for the
emergency in ease of the death Of
both the president and vice president,
and provided that, in the event of such
a calamity, the secretary OF state, or,
if there be more, the secretary OF the
treasury, and SO on down the line of the
the cabinet, named in the order of the
secretary of war, attorney general,
postmaster general, secretary of navy
and secretary of interior. shall act as
president until a president shall be
elected.
Extra Session of Congress.
The law also provides that whenever
the powers and duties of the office of
president shall devolve upon any men,
Der of the cabinet, if congress is not in
session or would not meet within 20
days, that body shall be called in
extra session. But this law does not
affect the succession of the vice pres
ident to the presidency. That is pro-
vided for by the constitution of the
United States, and there are statutes
relating TO it. Whenth president dies,
or is in any other way removed from
Office, the vice president becomes pres
ident by the terms of the constitution.
He need not be officially notified of the
death of the president.
There would be in fact no one more
competent than himself to give such
notice. He may take the oath Of office
at any place in the United States where
he may happen to be when he receives

LOOKING For SECOND MAN.
Believed That Czolwosx Was Not
Alone In His Crime.

Buffalo, n. ", Sept. 9.-Althongh
Czolgosz refused to incriminate any
one else in the plot to kill Mr.. Nc
Kinley the police are of the opinion
that one another man was % party
to it. The man is one who walked
directly in front of Czolgosz and
shielded him from the sight Of the
secret service men. The police have
good description OF him and his
arrest may occur at any moment.
There is no doubt, according to the
police, that this man was an accom-
plice of Czolgosz.
Two or three suspects were picked
up in various parts of the city dur
ing the night, but they were released
after undergoing an examination,
each one proving an alibi.
Czolgosz does not appear to be in
sane. Detective Sergeant John
Geary, who stood few feet from
Czolgosz when he fired the shots and
who caught President Mckinley when
he fell, was asked whether in his
opinion Czolgosz was insane.
"Hc may be-" said the detective,
shut from all / saw OF him he is just
an anarchists
Czolgosz is rot above the average
height. His face is that of typical
German. He arose at an early hour
Saturday morning and ate hearty
breakfast.
He appears to be very nervous and
starts suddenly when anyone speaks
to him. He proves to be very elusive
in answering questions, however. The
police worked over him until a late
hour Friday night and they admit
ted that very little progress had been
made in bringing ont facts from him
| regarding his past history.
Confession of Assassin.
To a reporter District Attorney
Penny gave the substance of Czolgosz
| confession as follows:
"rhis man has admitted shooting the

that he had been planning to do 1t for the

had anything to say for publication:
II have nothing to say! Nothing

Hope for Recovery.

Buffalo, n. ", Sept. 9.-President
Mckinley maintains good measure of
his strength and those who watch at
his bedside hold higher hope for his
ultimate recovery. The shock from
the wounds inflicted upon him by Leon
+. Czolgosz seems to have been less
than was anticipated and that is re-
garded as highly favorable to him. It
is admitted that the crisis in his condi-
ton has not yet come and that there
is the gravest danger until it has been
safely passed. Several bulletins came
from the chamber of the wounded
president during the night and early

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 9.-The opera
ton upon the president Fri.ay night
lasted almost an hour. Ether was
administered. A tive-inch incision
was made where the ball entered the
until the physicians became satisfied
that the kidney had not been touched
or the intestines perforated, and that
it had lodged probably in the mus
cles of the back, where it could do
no harm for the present. The lntes-
tines were lifted out through the in
cision and carefully examined and
the utmost confidence exists that
there was no injury. The physicians
were exceedingly gratificd at the re-
suit and pronounced the operation
complete success.
