Baldwin, the arctic explorer, will
make imitators walk lame if he ac-
complishes half the work he has set
himself to do and about which he is
filling the columns of the daily
newspapers. He now has designs
on the northern lights as well as on
the north pole, and he tells a report
er he has "no doubt that in time the
tremendous electrical forces which
manifest themselves in the aurora
borealis will be transformed by man
into motive power to do his bid
ding" Mr.. Baldwin is doing lot
of talking. Better men have been
glad to return in relief ship, but
perhaps his last splendid proposition
is mere pleasantly.

A new liquor law in France ha
cut down the taxes on light wines,
and as Il result absinthe drinking
has greatly diminished in the past
few months. The new law is a
practical temperance measure and
suggests change that might work
well in "dry" and bedrugged Yer
mont. The French people prefer
harmless beverage to destroying
drink when it is placed within their
reach; failing one they take the
other. If it is granted that prohibi-
ton laws and their attempted en-
forcement have some influence on
the amount of various drugs con.
sumed tn Vermont, it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that if little
latitude were allowed by our liquor

THE FEELING IN LONDON.
Sorrow and Indignation Felt at the News
Of the Shooting Of the President Of
the United States.

London, Sept. 1.-THE news Of the
attempt upon the life of President
Mckinley spread slowly in London.
The first ticker reports were discred-
tied; then, with the confirmation and
general dissemination of the news,
arose far-reaching feeling of sorrow
and Indignation which, wherever
Americans were gathered, almost
gained the proportions Of panic, ac-
companed by feverish anxiety for
further details. The thousands Of
Americans now in London were most
ly at the theaters when the news ar
rived and returning to their hotels
fouNl anxious groups of Englishmen
and Americans discussing what, with
out distinction Of race, is regarded as
national calamity. London's tele-
phones, usually silent at night, tingled
with impatient inquiries addressed to
newspapers and American corre-
spondents in the hope of securing a
denial Of the report. The announce
ment Of the attempted assassination
was received too late for extra edi-
tions of the papers to announce the
news to the mass Of the English peo-
pie and they will not learn until theyl
take up their morning papers Of the
attempt to kill 'he president.

said he based his confidence on In
formation behind the public express
sions of the physicians. So relieved
are Secretary Gage and Attorney
General Knox at the steady improve
ment that they returned to Washing
ton last night, feeling strongly that
their chief would recover, but with
the assurance Of the physicians that
II change for the worse should come
it would be gradual and that they
would have ample time to return.
Secretary of State Hay arrived last
night and will remain with the other
members of the cabinet at least for
day or two.
Vice President Roosevelt has occu-
pied a peculiarly delicate and trying
position since the event which threat
ened the presidents life, but he has
borne himself Throughout this ordeal
in such manner as to win the ad-
miration of all. Not for q moment
has he permitted the idea to be en-
tertained that there was need for
considering the constitutional dis
ability Of the president and the ex-
ercise of executive functions which
this would impose on. him. On the
contrary, Mr.. Roosevelt has been one
of the most positive in the conyic-
ton that the president would re-
cover. OF the streets Mr.. Roosevelt
has been the center of respectful at
tention, but has met this with
dignity and composure. Despite
senseless remarks that he was going
nbout guarded by secret service men,
he has positively declined to have
anything like a guard near him. One
Of his remarks yesterday, in speaking
to two laborers, who greeted him,
struck q popular chord. They had
suggested that he might be afraid
to be stopped mo, indeed he re-
piled. "You men are our protection,

ANTONIO MAGGIO ARRESTED.


Denver, Col, Sept. 1O--A special to
the News from Silver City, N. NJ,
says: Antonio Maggie, the musician
and alleged anarchist who is said to
have predicted the assassination of
President Mckinley before October,
1901, was arrested at San Rita, min
ing camp near Silver City, N. NJ, yes
terday afternoon by United States
Marshal Foraker on instructions
from Washington. Maggie has been
playing a piano In saloon at Santa
Rita for some time. He is said to
have frequently made the prediction
that the president would be killed
bsfcre October 1, since coming to
thS section in February last. He IL
also sseted as saying that Emperor
william Of Germany will be the next
ruler assassinated.

WILLIAM M'KNLEY.

only an instant previously grasped in
his dusky palm the hand of the presi-
dent. As one man the trio hurled
themselves upon the presidents as
sailant. In twinkIing he was borne
to the ground, his weapon was
wrested from his grasp and strong
arms pinioned him down.
Down at police headquarters, sur
rounded by stern-faced inquisitors of
the law, is a medium-sized man of
commonplace appearance, with his
fixed gaze directed on the floor, who
pressed his lips firmly together and
listens with an air Of assumed indif-
ference to the persistent stream of
questions, arguments, objurgations
and admonitions with which his cap
tors seek to induce or compel him to
talk.
1t was just after the daily organ
recital in the splendid Temple Of Mu-
sic that the dastardly attempt was
made.
Planned with all the diaholical in
genuity and 'fineness of which an
archy or nihilism is capable, the
would-be assassin carried out the
work without a hitch, and should his
designs fail and the president sur
vive, only to Divine Providence can
be attributed that benefcent result.
The president, though well guarded
by United States secret service de-
tectives, was fully exposed to such an
attack as occurred. He stood at the
edge of the raised dais, upon which
stands the great pipe organ at the
east side Of the magnificent struc-
ture. Throngs Of people crowded in
az the various entrances to gaze upon
their executive, perchance to clasp
his hand, and then file their way out
in the good-naturated mob that every
minute swelled and multiplied at the
points Of ingress and egress to the
building.
The president was in a cheerful
mood and was enjoying TO the full
the hearty evidence Of good will
which everywhere met his gaze. Upon
his right stood John G. Milburn, Of
Buffalo, president of the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition, chatting with the
president and introducing to him
especially persons Of note who ap-
preached. Upon the presidents left
stood Mr.. Cortelyou.
1t was shortly after four p. m.
when one Of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party,
medium-sized man of ordinary ap-
pearance and plainly dressed in black,
approached as II to greet the presi-
dent. Both Secretary Cortelyou and
President Mckinley noticed that the
mans hand was swathed in q bandage
or handkerchief. Reports Of bystand-
ers differ as to which hand. He
worked his way amid the stream Of
people upto the edge Of the dais until
he was within two feet Of the presi-
dent.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand In that spirit
Of genialty the. American people 30

curing plaudits Of an army of sight.
seers ringing in his ears, the blow OF
the assassin fell, and in an instant
pleasure gave way to pain, admira-
tion to agony, folly turned to fury
and pandemonium followed.
While President Mckinley was re.
ceiving in the Temple of Music yes
terday afternoon he was approached
by man with a dark moustache and
with one hand covered with a hand
kerchief. As the man extended his
hand to the president, apparently with
The intention of shaking hands with
him, he fred shot which entered
the presidents right breast, lodging
against the breastbone. Another
shot was fired at once, which entered
the presidents abdomen. The assail-
ant was Immediately arrested.
Detective Geary was near the
prisoner and the president fell into
his arms.
"Am l shot?" asked the president.
The officer opened the presidents
vest and, seeing blood, replied; "Yes,
am afraid you are, Mr.. President"
There was an instant Of almost
complete silence. The president stood
stock still, a look Of hesitancy, almost
of bewilderment on his face. Then
he retreated step while pallor be-
gan to steal over his features. The
multitude, only partially aware that
something serious had happened
paused in surprise, while necks were
craned, and all eyes turned as one to
the rostrum where great tragedy
was being enacted.
Then came commotion. With the
leap Of a tiger three men threw
themselves forward, as with one i'm
pulse, and sprang toward the would
be assassin. Two Of them were

were on the outlook, and whose duty
