Paris Sept. THE first message announcing
the attempted assassination of President Mckin-
ley reached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at
1870 o'clock this evening and was Immediately
transmitted by telephone TO NJ. Delcasse and TO
President Loubet at Rambouillet, who was most
painfully impressed by the sad news. At IL
o'clock the dispatch reached the newspaper Of
fees and known at some of the clubs, but
the public at large is still unaware of the at
tempt on the Presidents life.
The Figaro" this morning will publish
leading editorial, signed by Henry des Houx re-
counting the leading characteristics of Presi-
dent McKinley's life recalling his affection for
Mrs Mckinley and his touching tenderness dur
ing her illness The Figaro asks whether or
not the motive of the crime was because Mr.
Mckinley the pers onification of American
material prosperity, and calls attention to the
United States being refuge for great numbers
of socialists and anarchists. and that by slnsu-
lar irony of fate while the police of Europe were
watching for ld-be regcides landing from
transatlantic steamers a dangerous blow should
first be struck in America.
The Figaro" recalls the affectionate greet
ings sent by Mr.. Mckinley to the President of
the French Republic after the signature in
Paris of peace between the United States and
Spain.
The Figaro points out that the policy of
Mr. Mckinley in China was pre- eminently hu-
name and conciliating and that in the present
dispute between Colombia and Venezuela Mr.
Mckinley was on the point of astonishing the
world by his moderation and justice.

signed by Arthur Meyer proprietor and editor
of the most prominent organ of royalty and
Catholicism. The "Gaulos." after dwelling up
Mr.. McKinleys religious and domestic Writ
ues. says that this third assassination of
President of the United States and that of
President Carnot shows that in two model
publics the crime OF regicide. or. rather. at
terpts at the assassination OF the Chief Magis
trate of the nations. is a more common occur
renee than in autocratiC monarchies.
The "Gaulos" concludes:
We are bound to express to the great Ameri
can nation. with which France has. since the
existence OF the United States. been in such
close union of thought and sympathy. our deep
est coincidence and our adherence of the crime
which may throw the American people into
mourning; but this strong. hardy nation has
firm faith in God. which will enable II TO rise
up from grief and 10 resume the course Of
prodigious prosperity. grandeur and rapidity
which have become the admiration Of the Old
World"
lie Matin" will publish an editorial stating
that the martyrology of the heads Of State
counts another victim. No chief magistrate
seemed TO enjoy greater security from assassin
alton than William Mckinley. for head OF a
State had won greater esteem respect from
his fellow-citizens. nor did the article,
ever with greater willingness sacrifice his per
sonal tastes and inclinations TO his political con
victions The "Matin' pronounces an eloquent
eulogum Mr.. McKinley's honesty Of purpose
and integrity Of character and expresses its
deep sympathy with the people Of the United
States. {. l. b.
