AN ATTACK ON CZOLGOSz-GREAT
CROWDS FILL BUFFALO STREETS.
ments Of the National Guard have been ordered
to be in readiness should the large crowd AS
sembled about Police Headquarters, where Col
gosz Is confined. make any hostile demonstra-
ton. There has been no indication of dispo-
stion on the part Of the crowd to riot and the
assembling of the National Guard is Simply a
precautionary measure
Only two companies have been assembled at
each armory They will not leave their quarters
The authorities believed it advisable to summon
a portion of each regiment to act a guard
over the rifles and ammunition in tie armories
The crowd is quiet and orderly. At 10 p. M
there were very few people in the vicinity OF the
police station. Main-st in the vicinity of the
newspaper offices, crowded.
Large crowds have assembled in Main-st in
the vicinity of the newspaper Offices and
the streets surrounding Police Headquarters
where Czolgosz is confined Although the side
walks crowded that pedestrians are forced
to walk In the centre of the streets. the throng
is an orderly one and no demonstration against
the prisoner has taken place. AS precaution-
airy measure, ropes have been stretched across
all streets leading to Police Headquarters and no
one is allowed to approach the station except
newspaper men. A large force Of police is
duty about the building. and any approach
ing it is challenged at every twenty thirty
ters building for any emergency that may arise.
The crowd is a particularly quiet one every
person silently and eagery scanning the bulletin
boards for some word of hope from the Milburn
house.
The city. not only in the parts near the Mil
burn house. but all over. and out in the
exposition grounds. went into state OF fer
ment when the news OF the sudden collapse of
the President was announced. The bad news
OF the early day had been somewhat softened
by the later afternoon statement that there
a slight Improvement. and the sudden announce
ment of his approaching death came great
surprise. At the Pan-American grounds 1t was
announced that he was dead. and the immense
crowd turned toward the city. In the city tt
self the papers refrained from any anticipation
but made it understood that there was no hope
GUARDING THE ASSASSIN.
It seemed but an instant when crowds formed
at every corner. swarmed toward the newspaper
bulletins. and when they found that the
mors were confirmed somebody shouted Let's
find the assassin With one impulse the crowd
is confined. Telephones were utilized and the
police informed and when the crowd arrived
they found the police out In force Superintend-
ent Bull called out the entire force. and In ad-
dtion asked Fourth Brigade headquarters TO
| be in readiness to assist. Colonel WEIGH. in
charge, answered by ordering two companies
each from the 65th and 74th regiments TO their
| armories TO await Immediate call
Around the station house at s O'Clock 1t was
| estimated that at least six thousand people
were gathered. They were not particularly ugly
| and were quiet and when the police proceeded
to drive them back there was little resistance
AT O'Clock they had been sent back two
blocks each side of the police station. and be-
fore 10 o'clock. weary with waiting for definite
news. they had dispersed gone to the news
| paper bulletins.
General Bull, Superintendent of Police. said
tonight with reference 10 the rumors of the
removal of Czogosz: There is only one per-
son TO whose custody the prisoner could be re-
moved and that is the Sheriff of Erie County
| He has not been turned to him, and 1t will
be some time before Czolgosz leaves my Gus
tody The arrangements we made were 70 pro-
vide for any contingency that might arise.

trouble in this city.
