conceived, planned and carried out the
crime and that he alone must answer

He admits that he attended meetings
at which Emma Goldman spoke and
where he and his fellow anarchists dis
cussed their propaganda OF murder, but
steadfastly denies that any of them had
a part in his plans. His talks with them
were fairly general, he says, and he did
not divulge to them any feature Of his
scheme to kill the president. His state
ment on that feature made on Saturday
created the impression that he acknowl-
edged a general talk with his associates
on this particular crime, but he now
says there was no justification for that

KNOX DECLINES

Will Not Appoint an Assistant AttOr
ney General on SchIey Court.
BUFFALO, Sept. 9.-Acting Secretary
of the Navy Hackett has been pressing
Attorney General Knox, both by wire
and letter, to appoint one of the assist
ant attorney generals to assist Captain
Lemley. the judge advocate Of the
Schley court of inquiry, in the conduct
of the case before the court.
The attorney general, however, has
declined TO take step which he believes
would look like the government prose
cution of the officer under investiga-
ton. The government, in his opinion,
should have no part in the inquiry. 1t
is an inquiry under the navy depart
ment, made at the request of Admiral
Schley, and the government has nothing
to do with it.
The president himself had recon-.
mended Admiral Schley for promotion,
and now for the department. of justice
to detail an officer under it to assist in
the conduct of the case would inevitably
be construed as a desire on the part of
the administration to convict Admiral
Schley.
The attorney general was sustained
in his position by all the members of
the cabinet whom he consulted. The
whole question was gone over carefully
at a meeting held in the Glenn House,
adjoining the Milburn residence, yester-
day. Attorney General Knox wired his
decision to Acting Secretary Hackett
yesterday.
The members of the cabinet have no
knowledge of any suggestion of post.

Engineer Pinned Under De-

ONE rs FATALLY sCALDED

Coaches Took Fire and Two, With the

Broken FIange Caused Accident.
WHEELING, Sept. 8. - A frightful
railroad accident occurred at Burton
ton Tunnel, 40 miles east Of here, on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad today. One
man was killed, one fatally hurt and a
number slightly injured. The engine on
through express, running 80 miles an
hour, broke f1ange and jumped square
across the track, rolling over on its side
and plowed into the side of the hill.
Engineer M. B. Stover, one of the old.
est men on the road, was pinned under
the engine and fire, which followed the
wreck, cremated his body.
Fireman Smith was thrown from the
engine under the cab, where he was IA
tally scalded by escaping steam. Bag
gagemaster Frank Riley and Postal
Clerk Ross were both badly hurt, but
not fatally. The train was made up of
six coaches loaded with G. A. r. eXcur-

ALABAMA's CONSTITUTION.
Underwood Says 1t Will Be Ratified
by Big Majority.

by Big Majority.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 8. - Con.
gresham Oscar w. Underwood of the
Ninth Alabama district, who was Sc.
lected to lead the campaign for ratifca.
tlon of the new constitution for Ala
bama, has gone to Washington to attend
to some business there. He will be ab-
sent from the state less than 10 days
Before taking his departure he an
nounced that so far nothing had been
done further than that given out and
nothing would be done until he re-.
turned. When he returns he will start
to work and commence a most vigorous
campaign. He expressed confidence in
the new constitution being ratified and
said that the majority would be large.
1t is considered quite strange that those
who are opposed to the instrument have
taken no steps to make fight on it, ex-
cept the negroes. The Republican lead.
ers now are rather disturbed by the
great calamity that has taken place at
Buffalo.
The negroes will hold their conven.
tion on Sept. %, and the leaders here
claim that the attendance will be large.
1t Is not believed that the negroes will
be able to do anything by themselves.
The POpulists have not been heard
from as yet, and this also causes some
surprise. 1t would not be surprising if
the ratification went by default on the
part Of white anti Democrats, and that
the only objection that might be made
may be on the part of the negroes.

We think President Mckinley will live
