an abundance OF self-cOnfidence and
energy, with meager education and
an inherent ability to make money; he

GOLDMAN ARRESTED.
The High Priestess of Anarchy Claims oni> n Superficial Ac-
 uunintance With CzoIgosx

Chicago, Sept. Emma Goldman, the anarchist agitator. under whose red banner Leon Czolgosz claims he stands aud whose words he says fired his heart and his brain to attempt the assassination of the president, was arrested here shortly before noon yesterday.
 She diselaimed all but the slight est acquaintance with the prisoner She denied absolutely that she. or any anarchist she knew. was implicated in any plot to kill the president She said she believed tzolgosz acted en- tireiy on his own responsibility.
 The president, she avered. with q yawn. was an insignificant being to her-a mere human atom. whose life or death were matters of supreme in- difference to her, or To any anarchist. ColzgosZ act was foolish. Yet, she declared. it possibly had it's inspira- tion in the misery which the Pole had seen about him. Violence, she said, was not tenet in the faith of the anarchist. and she had not advocated il in Cleveland. where Czolgosz has said he heard her, nor elsewhere.

Assistant Chief Me- Carthy was severely injured. The ex- plosion wrecked the vault in the chief engineers office of the Short Line railway and nearly all the records of the road were lost.
 For q time the siX-story Dooley block to the north and new high school building adjoining on the west were in danger of destruction, but the fire was finally got under control with but slight damage to these build- ings. The loss will probably approxi- mate S250.00O.

Washington, Sept. Secretary Of the Treasury Gage sent the following telegram to F. D. Happen. chairman of the clearinghouse association. New York city:
 Recognizing the unavoidable infu- enee upon general business affairs of continued absorption into the pub lie treasury of revenue beyond ex- penditure, l have directed that incom- ing internal revenue receipts be placed with national bank deposito- ries until balance with each is reached equal to the par value of the bonds held as security from such Ge- positories. This will divert about five millions from the treasury vaults.

THE CZOLGOSZ FAMILY.
Are Said to Have Lived In Detroit, Mich. Where Leon was Born in
 the Summer of 1871.

Detroit, Mich. Sept. t0.-From 1874 to 1s,5 the family of Leon Czolgosz. the asSailant of President Mckinley, lived in Detroit, and former neighbors assert that Leon was born here in be summer of 1871. \ search of old city drecl cries resulted in locating the Czolgosz family at III Benton street in 's71. Inquiry in this neighborho 5d developed several people who had known the family. ]. j. Lorkowsli, q prominent Polish saloonkeeper, lived across from the Czolgosz family on Benton street, and knew the father well. He is sure that the boy was born in the Benton street house, in 1874, was Leon. LorkoWski says that CZoigosZ moved to Posen. Mich, near Alpena, in 1875, going later to Alpena. If this information is correct, Leon CzolgosZ is 27 years of age instead of 2S. as he asserts. When this was pointed out to Lorkowski, who is d very intelligent man, he said that many Polish boys did not know their age, and he presumed that Czolgosz was not sure of his. If Leon was born in Alpena, as has been thought, he is not over 26 years of age. as the fam
 fly did not move there until 1876.

PROPOSED BOND PURCHASES.
Government Will Attempt to Relieve the Market if Reasonable
 Prices are Asked.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Commenting upon the offer to purchase bonds made in his circular, Secretary Gage said that the active movement of crops had begun throughout the coun- try, and he did not desire that the treasury should absorb millions of dollars that might be needed in trade channels. The sub-treasuries in the west and south have been calling heavily for currency to move the crops, and the amount sent so far is in excess of any year in the history of the treasury.
 The placing of additional money with the national bank Repositories will divert about five million dollars from the treasury vaults, and put it into circulation. At the same time the purchase of s20,0oo0o0 in bonds would be a decided relief.
 The only question now is whether the offers 10 the secretary will be such as to induce him to purchase the amount he desires, or any sum at all. The effect of offers of this kind
 
 Mr. Gage does not intend to pay above what the bonds are worth, and will make no purchases if the offers indi cate that the market prices are to be raised.
 Last April Mr. Gage made an offer to purchase bonds to relieve the in. creasing addition to the cash balance Of the treasury, but he fixed prices at which the government would buy. The price limit is now removed for the first time, and offers are asked for, With the supposition that the prices will be such as will permit the sec retary to invest a number of millions of the treasury surplus in a short time.
 Since the offer of the secretary last April the treasury has purchased a total of about twenty million dollars in bonds, and these have gone into the sinking fund
