President Milburn and Detective Foster
sprang to his aid, while Detective Ireland
and James B. Parker threw his assailant
to the floor, hurled themselves upon him
and attempted to disarm him. Their pris-
oner struggled desperately and, wrench
ing his arm free. attempted once more to
fire at the president. The revolver, how
ever. was struck from his hard, flying sew
eral feet away.
president Mckinley himself plucked
from his side the bullet which had struck
the breast bone and glanced, lodging in
the skin. at the same time saying to the
detective: Foster, believe there Is an
other bullet in there"
Shortly afterwards he said: DO not
exaggerate this to Mrs. Mckinley The
president throughout displayed the great
est fortitude and all the time until I saw
him carried from the building his GOODNESS
and courage were wonderful"
Mrs. Mckinley Bears Up Well.
When the news of the crime was
telephoned to the home of President
Milburn, where Mrs. Mckinley was
resting, immediate steps were taken
to spare her the shock of prema-
ture statement of the occurrence be-
fore the true condition of the presi-
dent should be ascertained. Guards
were stationed, and no one was per-
mitted to approach the house.
When it was decided to remove the
president from the exposition hos
pital to the Milburn residence the
news was broken to Mrs. Mckinley
as gently as might be by the mem
bers of the Milburn family. She bore
the shock remarkably well, and dis
played the utmost fortitude. She
said that IL it was possible to bring
her husband to her she wanted 1t
done. DIR. Rixey assured her that the
president could be brought with
safety from the exposition grounds

Ellsworth firemen had a stubborn fight
W ith forest fire Monday afternoon.
The fire sprang up Monday forenoon on

men and big gang of millmen fought
the fire until dark. At times it
seemed as if it would get away from even
this force, but by night, when the wind
abated, the fire was under control.
The fire burned to within 100 feet Of the
Mclean house. Yesterday it burned to
within few feet of the lumber piles at
the mill.
The fire Is still burning, but change in
the wind drove it away from the mill
property and toward "Christ ian ridge".
1t has burned over some seventy-ive
acres now. The stuff burned is mostly
young green growth, Of comparatively
little value. 1t is owned by the Ellsworth
Lumb ber Co.

Mrs. A. Sidney Treat is having further
Improvements made on her house at
Labrador farm. The ell will be length
ened to forty five feet, and raised to two
stories. A circular tower will be built on
the southwest corner Of the main house,
adding to Its attractiveness and, with a
dormer window, giving an additional
room on the second floor. Over the ell
will be three sleeping rooms and bath
room. The partition between the front
and back parlors will be taken out,
making one large parlor. Other imprcve-
ments are contemplated. Frank R.

Ellsworth yachtsmen are talking OF a
race to be held on Thursday, July 25, the

There are five yachts In the Ellsworth
feet now that are in the same class as to
size-J. B. Redman's "wave Crest", Frank
8. Lords ''LoreIsi", Isaac M. Grants
"Madella", W. E.W hiting's "Annie Lee",
and G. B. Stuart's "Rambler". The last
named yacht has never tried issues with
the Ellsworth fleet, and there is curiosity
to see how worthy q successor OF the
"Bat" she may prove. 1t is also possible
that the "Unie', owned by John A.
Peters, jr., may enter. This would make
pretty and interesting race.
The Pope, Harrison & Co. property at
East Machias, on which, as reported In
THE AMERICAN several weeks ago, Ellis
worth men had an option, has been pur-
chased by them. The property includes
two saw mills, grist mill, with the water
powers, a store, q farm OF several hundred
acres with farm buildings, and $4,000
acres OF timber-land. This is the prop
erty which Boston men were looking at
short time ago with the view Of locating
there pulp mill. The Ellsworth men
will operate the property themselves
unless stumpage is sold. The purchasers
are DR.. A.C. Hagerthy, John A. Peters, jr.,
A. w. King, ]. r. Giles, of Ellsworth, and
w. Fl. Knight, of East Machias. Messrs.
Peters and King went to Machias yester-
day to make further examinations OF the
title.

Business Men Were No Match for the
Professionals.
The game OF bali last Thursday between
Ellsworth business and professional men
was an easy victory for the professionals.
The game was interesting for the spec
tators. 1t abounded In good plays. The
work Of Tribou and Cutler, the business
mems battery, was good, but the profess
sional men proved heavy hitters. Cutler
did the best batting for the business men.
Osgood, Addition and Moore took turns
in the box for the professional men with
Brady playing a good game behind the
bat for all OF them. The base running OF
DIR. Lewis Hodgkins was feature Of the
game.
The professional men piled up the runs
In way that was discouraging for their
opponents. The fifteen runs scored in
the seventh inning "broke the camel's
back", and the game ended there, with
the score "a to s. J. Prescott Gage acted
as umpire efficiently and impartially.

TIMELY OPINIONS.
What the Best Thinkers Say of Cur
rent Events.
Purge the Party of Traitors.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
The Legislature adjourned yesterday
without electing two United States Sen
ators, and for two years our State must
go without representation in the Senate
Of the United States. The responsible
ity of this ueplorable state of affairs
rests with seven men, and seven men
only.
These men We're sent here by their
constituents do their duty and they
took oaths to perform that duty to their
constituents and to the State. They
have not only failed to perform that
duty and forsworn themselves, but they
have proved traitors to the cause of
Repubicanism and to the State. These
men are not Republicans, neither are
| they good citizens, and it is a pity such
men should have been sent here.
| Never before in the history Of the
Union Republican party has it been
stronger than it is today and we now
know where to draw our lines in future
campaigns. There is no hope of ever
uniting the two factions of the Republi-
can party, and the Unionists must alone
expect to keep the State in the hands OF
Republicans.

stitutional convention the Senate will
have no choice. Congress will be COM
PEELED by the Constitution to o-call the
convention.
The Pennsylvania joint committee in
its report shows that twenty-seven
State Legislatures have gone on record
within few years in favor Of this re-
form. The list includes the Legislatures
of Arkansas, California, Colorado, Flor
ida, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, Wis
consin and Wyoming. Three more would
be enough to make the constitutional
two-thrds One of those three ought
certainly to be New York. Another
should be found without any trouble
in New Jersey. Other States that no
doubt would join in for good measure
are Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Mis-
souri,, South Carolina. South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West
Virginia.
1t is needless to recount the reasons
that demand change in the present
method of electing Senators. The coun-
try is familiar with them to nausea.
Pennsylvania has shown how to sur
mount Senatorial obstruction and ac-
complish actual results. If twenty-nine
States will follow her example Congress
will have to act at its next session, and
election of Senators by the people will
be an accomplished fact within three

The Guilty Ones.

From the Wilmington Republican.
The legislature adjourned without
clecting United States Senators. The
responsibility for such a result is I'M
justly charged to Mr.. Addicks. We say
unJustly charged. as Mr.. Addicks' sup
porters doubled the number of the so
called Regular Republicans, and yet they
were perfectly willing to allow the Regu-
lars to select a candidate to suit them
selves while they claimed similar priv-
legc. This the Regulars refused to sub
init to but attempted to dictate to the
Cnonists that they must drop Addicks
and name some other candidate. AS
the Unionists thought the demand was
unreasonable, the so-callcd Regulars re-
fused to elect any one and thus the
State through their pervcrsty is left
without any representation in the United
States Senate. Had the Regulars been
ms generous as the AddickSites there
would have been two Senators elected
tpon the Regulars, therefore, must rest
the responsibility Of this vacancy. The
Addicksitcs made Il fair offer, but the
Regulars refused to accept it, and deter
mined that the election should go by
default. Their determination was all or
nothing. just as they determined in the
National Convention last Spring-they
would have all for nothing. They should
be willing to take the responsibility of
their act, and not charge it upon others.
The citizens should understand the sci
fish course that has been pursued and
put an end to this doctrine of all or moth
ing. The demand that the majority shall
submit to minority will not be acuui-
esced in by true Republicans, and the
oligarchy who attempt to overcome and
control will eventually find their true
level.

In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead

When Senator Knox has visited all
the clubs and offices where cheers await
him, and wants to spice his experience
with variety, we suggest that he visit

Eighth Ward Republican League, and
tell the people there why he voted to de-
feat the election of two Republican Unit
ed States Senators ut Dover. We assure
the Senator that warm reception awaits
him from any Republican association he
may decide to visit. If he doubts that,
he can try it.
