princes received Prince Chun and the

Prince Chun handed to the Kaiser the
Emperor's letter expressing ~eep regret
at Baron Won Kettelers terrible END at

soldiers, and admitting that he was still
deeply animated with a feeling OF penl-

dignation would yield to the old feeling
of friendship and the resumption Oh IN

cations, though according to custom ne
assumed the blame, and hoped the past
events were only passing shadow

chief offender.
BERLIN, Sept 5-The Kaiser, replying
ito Prince Chun, said that. Baron Won Ket-
teler's murder was an unheard of crime,
land branded as such by international law
and usage. He readily believed the
statement that the Emperor stood aioof

M'KlNLEY.

On the day the steamship City of Para
left Los Angeles President Mckinley
was at deaths door, stricken by the
hand of an assassin.
From the forum where thousands had
listened to the welcome sound OF his
voice the chief went to meet what may
have been his doom. The physicians
who extracted from his body one of the
two bullets which carried the death
message had given up hope and nothing
but the iron constitution of the Presi-
dent gave ground for the belief that he
might be spared. This was the last
news brought by the ship which ar
rived off port last night so that even
now the chief executive may be IN MS
tomb.
The deed was the unthinking, insane
act of an anarchist, a red of the cult
of Emma Goldman, who teaches that
every man in power must be an enemy
of the people, who are the only source
OF. power. IL was dn ACT koF "1llSi ~

which finds no excuse In the American
mind, and which will do more TO turn
away from the anarchists the sympathy
which is felt for all downtrodden PEG
pies than any other possible act.
For the third time in the history o
the nation the bedside of it's Presiden
is the shrine at which are offered tbs
petitions of It's millions. Presiden
Mckinley has become the idol of tn
people and now when his life is in tn
balance from every corner of the coun

Mckinley had stools before thousand

from which he preached wider national
ism that he went to his doom.
There will be no other feeling in tn
