Attempt to Lynch Czolgosz.

Buffalo. Sept. 13.-Shortly after
midnight the great crowds on the
street became excited over a rumor
that the President was dead. A rush
was made toward the police station
where CZolgOsZ is confined. 1t was
propmtly met by the police reserves,
mounted and on foot. and driven back
after a strong resistance.
General Bull, superintendent of po-
lice, said tonight with reference to
rumors of the removal of CZolgosz:
There is only one person to whose
custody the prisoner could be removed
and that is the sheriff of Erie county.
He has not been turned over to him
and it will be sometime before CZol-
gosz leaves my custody. The arrange
ments we made We're to provide for
any contingency that might arise. l
am now sure that there is no danger of
any trouble in this city"
Two companies each of the Sixty
fifth and Seventyfourth regiments of
the national guard assembled in their
barracks to be in readiness should the
large crowd make any hostile demon
stration. The militia will not leave
their quarters. The authorities believe
1t advisable to summon n portion of

Milburn House. Sept. 14.-From an
authoritative officials the following de-
tails of the final scenes in and about
the death chamber We're secured:
The President had continued in an
unconscious state since $40 p. IN. DR..
Rixey remained with him at all times,
and. until death came. The other doc
tors We're in the room at times, then
repaired to the front room, where their
consultations had been held. About 2
o'clock DR.. Rixey noted the unmistak-
able signs of dissolution, and the i'm
mediate members of the family We're
summoned to the bedside. Mrs. Nc
Kinley was asleep and it was desirable
not to awaken her for the last mo-
ments of anguish.
Silently and sadly the members of
the family stole into the room. They
stood about the foot and sides of the
bed where the great mans life was
ebbing away Those in the circle
were Abner Mckinley, the Presidents
brother; Mrs. Abner Mckinley; Miss
Helen. the Presidents sister; Mrs
Sarah Duncan. another sister; Miss
Mary Barber, Il niece; Miss Sarah Dun
can: Lieutenant j. F. Mckinley, ne
phew: William NJ. Duncan, a nephew
Charles Dawes, comptroller of the cur
rency; f. NJ. Osborn. IA cousin; Colonel
Webb c. Hayes; John Barber, a ne
phew; Secretary Cortelyou, Colonel
W. G. Brown. DR.. p. NJ. Rixey, the
family physician. and six nurses and
attendants.
In an adjoining room sat the physi-
clans. including Drs. McBurney, Was.
din, Park, Stockton and Mynter.
1t was now 2:O5 o'clock and the min
utes were slipping away. Only the
sobs of those in the circle about the
bedside broke the fearsome
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 fiut-
tering heart was just going to rest. A
moment more and DR.. Rixey straight
ened 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 out
er hall and then down the stairway to
the large room where the members of

Vacation does not mean vacancy,
and is ever the more effective for
thin stratum OF work running through
it A notable example of vacation
courses and summer classes is the free
normal school at Manila which held
its preliminary term last May. Its
purpose is to teach modern methods of
instruction to the native school teach
ers, who without exception, wish to
prepare themselves to educate their
race. Forty-five resident American
teachers, under the direction of DIR.
David Barrows of California, consti-
tuted the faculty, and by the middle
of the first week over six hundred Fill
ipino men and women teachers, mostly
of mature age, had gathered from the
various islands. One American, in
charge of Zambales Province, Captain
O'Neill, learning that twenty teachers
OF his district could not reach Manila
for lack of funds, generously sent them
thither at his own expense For the
month in which the school was open,
thirty-three classes were held daily, in
which the attendance averaged ninety
eight per cent. Surely the American
occupation of the Philippine Islands
presents, even to the warmest oppon-
ent of the movement, some bright
sides.
