stating that the EfeelOtnt was not &c
strong az expected and that be appeared
TO he slightly weaker from delayed or
secondary shock. This was followed
by other unsigned bulletins of more
reassuring nature, together with the an
nouucement that the patient was resting
easily, and that no other bulletins
would be issued unless there was q de-
cided change 10 bis condition.
Late last night, uuder fire OF cross
examination by detectives. the would
be assassin admitted that his name was
Leon Czolgosz. He came from Cleve.
land a week ago, and hired a room
from John Nowsk, q ssloonkeeper. He
says be had no intention OF sssassi-
mating the President until yesterday
morning.
While he was being examined at po-
lice headquarters, q small satchel,
which was found in bis room, was
brought in. 1t contained his picture
aud the empty box which had held
the revolver. The prisoner is unmsT-
ried, can read and write. and seems to
be q fairly intelligent man.
At $50 o'clock superintendent Bull
sent out an order to arrest sill the per-
sons at the Nowak House. Detectives
Solomon, Gary, Divine and Hansfelt
arrested Nowak aud three others. All
we're taken iuto Superintendent Bulls
Office and examined. Among the pris'
oners was Czolgosz's roommate, who lie
the Office boy OF Reuben Goetz, promi-
nent republican. CzolgosZ says no one
aided him Ia his crime, but the police
say otherwise. They say he was
shielded by an sccomplice as he mp
proscbed the President In the Temple
Of Music.
A squad OF police charged the mob
enc Thornley, Hudson, the riDglesder, a
railway brakeman, was Knocked down
with police club. This stopped the
onward movement of the crowd. Two
Others arrested were A. w. Dryer, 3
broker, 40 years old, and BeujsmiD
Downer, who, it is said, were trying to
incite tae crowd to lyOch the assassin.
All the people needed was leader
and they would have taken Czolgosz
from bis cell and hanged him.
After the operation the President
rested quietly and later was removed
from the emergency hospital to the
home of John G.. Milburn 10 Delaware
| Avenue.
| Mrs. Mckinley was not informed by
DR.. Rixey of the attempted asssssins-
ton until two hours later. She was
awaiting the Presidents return from
| the grounds ct the home OF Mr.. Mil
bur0, the president of the exposition.
She bore up 5ravely under the terrible
blow.
Vice President Roosevelt started
from Vermont for Buffalo. Members
of the Cabinet also started on their way
to the Presidents bedside.
Six men were placed under arrest in
Chicago last night on the charge of be.
ing implicated 10 the plot to assassinate
President Mckinley.
Should the President live, the punishment
which could be melted out to the msu who

i Imprisonment for 4 term not exceeding ten
years, and this might be committed for good
behavior TO the extent of three years and six
months, leaving the actual imprisonm mt six
years and 9 half. Moreover, as the ASA sin

could. in his discretion, send him to the FL

TODAY'S DISPATCHES.
Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. Last night
was an eventful one at the home of Mr..
Milburn, 1t was a wakeful night there
and sleep was foreign to most OF lis in
mates. Mrs. Mckinley slept a little
while, but with her is was a forced
sleep. She wanted to spend the night
| at her husbands side, but In her feeble
| condition this was not TO be thought of.
Mrs. Mckinley knows her condition
and realizes full we'll that DR.. Rixey
understands her. She listened to his
counsel and took the drsught which
would induce sleep-a mild opiate.
In the Presidents chamber there was
watchiulpess for every second. DR..
Rixey was with him till daybresk. DIR.
Parks stayed until nearly o'clock and
counseled with DR.. Rixey. The Presi-
dent rested comfortably. He was no
der the influence OF strong opiates,
which induced sleep, and while he slept
his injuries were being tenderly aud
scientifically cared for by doctors and
nurses. At least 500 kilograms had
come in during the night, representing
nearly every governor of every Sac
Of the union, as we'll as men and
women prominent in the world OF
politics, finance, arts and letters. There
WAS buI small attempt to reply to these
last night.
Shortly after IL o'clock Senator
Hanna arrived from Cleyelsnd. "In 8
talk with the surgeons" said the SeDa-
tor, II learn that IL will be a matter of
48 hours at the least before any thing
really definite will be known. Every.
thing, they say, is in the Presidents
favor, his splendid physique, habits OF
living, age, etc., and unless something
like peritonitis should set it, they seem
to feel that be has a good chance
Theu, too, he ia q fighter, as l have q
good chance of knowing, and will not
give up. This is also In his favor"
