mated headquarters was noted and
when the day passed and he did not
appear the report that he was in New
York was received from several good
sources. The officials of the organi.
cation declined to discuss the strike
in any form and said that they did
not know where Mr. Shaffer was. 1t
was learned that President Shaffer,
with several of his advisers, took the
train for New York, presumably I'M
der an arrangement with the steel
people to settle the strike. It cannot
be said positively that this is the case,
but all evidence points to it.
The indications early in the day
were that a settlement of the strike
was looked for b. the Amalgamated
men. This belief was strengthened
by the current issue Of The Amalga-
mated Journal. which told of Presi-
dent Skaters renewed efforts for new
negotiations. His present trip to New
York is believed to be the consumma-
ton of these efforts. Until the result
is known no developments are expect
ed in the strike situation.

lures of Normal Board.
Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis Journal:
The peace proposition of the state
normal board has been transmitted to
the state board of control. 1t was
agreed upon by President Ankeny and
Directors Mitchell and Hammond and
outlines working plan on which the
normal board is willing to cooperate
with the board of control.
The board of control refuses to di-
vulge the contents of the report until
it his prepared it's answer 1t is there
fore evident that the board of control
is not prepared to accept the PROPOSE
tion without some amendment.
Two of the normal schools have
voluntarily surrendered and nullifed
the action of the normal board. This
morning the board of control received
copies of the pay rolls for August from
Moorhead and Mankato properly at
tested By the resident -eetpr and lha
president of the school The board OF
control approved them and sent them
to the state auditor, who will issue
the proper warrants, and the employees
will get their money. The Moorhead
payroll was $437 and Mankato 1885.
From all that can be learned it
seems that the members of the normal
board have virtually conceded that the
board of control has the authority to
handle the finances Of the normal
schools and make all the disbursements
as they see fit, and il is understood
that the normal board members are
willing to concede everything that the
board of control claims as it's preroga-
tive in case it would make them agree
to name the resident member OF the
normal board as purchasing agents for
the schools in their respective cities.

Broke the Awe-Li<e Silence.

Five minutes passed, then six,
seven, eight. Now DR.. Rixey bent
forward and then one of his hands
was raised as If in warning. The
futtering heart was just going to rest.
Strengthened up and with choking
voice said:
1.-THE president is dead"
Secretary Cortelyou was the first to
turn from the stricken circle. He
stepped from the chamber to the outer
hall and then down the stairway to
the large room where the members of
the cabinet, senators and other Off
Gals were assembled. AS his tense,
white face appeared at the doorway
a hush fell upon the assemblage.
Gentlemen, the president has
passed away" he said.
For a moment not a word came In
reply. Even though the end had
been expected the acual announce
ment that William Mckinley was dead
fairly stunned these men, who had
been his closest confidants and ad-
visers. Then groan Of anguish went
up from the assembled officials. They
cried outright like children. All the
pent up emotions Of the last few days
were let loose. They turned from
the room and came from the house
with streaming eyes.
The Public Is Informed.
Through Private Secretary Cor
telyou the waiting newspaper men
newspaper men received the notifica-
ton. In a trice there was the keenest
excitement in the broad avenue, but
there was no semblance of disorder.
The waiting crowds melted away
rapidly, giving expression in unmis-
takeable terms to the great sorrow
they felt. Within brief space of
time the newspaper men, the police
men, the sentries of the guard and
those whose duties kept them abroad
were the only persons in evidence
within the immediate vicinity.
With the momenLary excitement in
cfdents upon the announcement of
death the entire scene became one of
unmistakeable and deep mourning. AS
If nature lent it's aid to the grieving
crowds a. dense fog settled like pail
over the city. The Milburn house be-
came tomb of silence. Lights not
eXtinguished were dimmed, visitors
were denied admittance and the
mourning family and their more init
mate friends were speedily left alone
with the distinguished dead.

MANKATO MOURNS
Death of the President Causes

of Party. =.

The death of PresiGac5 Mex
has caused profound 70, Iaong
all the people of ManEa|
of political party, RELY
nationality, age or sex. It.
personal loss to all, and Ia.
and women shed tears this n IS
as they read the bulletins posts ID
front Of the daily newspaper Offices.
Friday forenoon a rumor spres
to the effect that the president was
dead, and last evening another one
gained currency to the effect that he
had died at six O'Clock. Both were
soon disproved, and when the final,
official report was given out this
morning that he had died at 2 10 a.
m. there were q good many who hest,
tated for a moment before giving il
confidence When the truth became
generally known, there were express
siOns everywhere Of genuine sorrow,
with not few impracaUions upon the
head of the detested assassin. Many
men declared that they would like to
take pull at a rope around Czolgosz' s
neck
The Free Press extra gave the first
account of the presidents death, to-
gether with history of his life and
administration, and it was sought
after like hot cakes on cold morning.
All over the city, people poured eagerly
over the news from Buffalo, and then
asked one another how such things
could happen in the freest country on
the face of the earth, in time of gem
eral good feeling and prosperity.
The people of Mankato are loyal to
the core, and they respect and honor
the president of the United States, no
matter what political party may have
elected him. They consider him the
president of the entire people, and in
the case of William Mckinley they
have felt more than respect Many of
our people have met or at least seen
him at various times. None feels more
sorrow at his untimely death than does
Congressman McCleary, who stood
close to the dead president. Mr.. Nc
Cleary has eagerly watched the bulle-
Gins, and endeayored TO extract hope
from them whenever there was a pos
sible chance. He states that after the
severe attack of the grip which the
president had last winter his heart
was weakened. He believes that this
is one cause of his late sinking spells
Mr.. McCleary feels the loss of Mr.
Mckinley as keen personal one.
The physicians and surgeons of Man
kate have taken deep interest in the
case from the start, and have followed
the official bulletins closely.
Enquiries are now being directed
toward the condition Of the brave
woman who, in frail health, suffers a
greater loss than any other person in
the death of President Mckinley
Sympathetic hearts in Mankato are
praying that she may be given
strength to bear her great sorrow.
Anarchism has no known friends in
Mankato, and there is a general de-
mand that Czolgosz's trial may be
prompt, without opportunity for I'M
necessary notoriety, and that the ex-
treme penalty of the law may soon re-
move so abominable creature from
tbe earth.

WILL HOLD AN AUTOPSY.
Peculiar Action of Presidents Heart
Puzzled the Doctors.

Peculiar Action of Presidents Heart
Puzzled the Doctors.
Buffalo, Sept. i4.-It is almost GER
tain that an autopsy on the prgsI-
dents body will be held to determine
the exact cause of death. This is the
wish of all the surgeons and physi-
clans who Were in attendance. The
peculiar action of the presidents
heart was more or less Of a puzzle to
them all, and DR.. McBurney expressed
the opinion that TO the interest Of SCI
euce, as well as to the interest OF the
government and tia world, it was de-
sirabie that the exact cause of death
be determined. The presidents heart
gave trouble from the beginning, but
its erratic action was at first thought
to be due to the shock of the wound,
but when the wound had begun to pro-
gress faVorably the heart gave more
trouble and anxiety than ever. It's
action became feeble and finally gave
out altogether.
The presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion. but some OF the
physicians do not believe there was
organic heart trouble The theory OF
at least one Of the physicians is that
the original shock OF the first bullet
over the heart had much to do with
the trouble which caused death.
