EXPRESSIONS OF THE PRESS.
England prays for Mckinley is
printed in great black type across the
front page of the Evening Star, and
all the journals express the hope of the
English people that the President will
recover.
The Sun says: "The abhorrent crime
was committed for mere wantonness."
The Evening News says: THAT he
may be spared is the prayer of every
Englishman throughout the empire
and the paper mentions the curious
lresemblances in the circumstances sur
| rounding the crime in Buffalo and
those of the murder of President Car
not, whose assassin climbed to his vic
TINS carriage for the ostensible pur-
pose of shaking hands.
The Echo eulogiZes the personal
traitsSof President Mckinley as those

said to representative of the Asso-
ciated Press:
You cannot use terms too strong in
expressing our indignation at the out
rage, and sympathy with the Presi-

dies, which we sincerely hope he will
not, the whole world will lose a man
of greater integrity and craftsmanship
than it even at present realizes. This
latest attempt may lead to an interna-
tional arrangement by which anarch-
lists may be dealt with according to
their deserts and this canker of civili-
zation be suppressed. Certainly Eng
, land would favor stsch plan. We and
America are blamed on the continent
for harboring anarchists.
we are deeply relieved to hear the
encouraging reports about the Presi-
dents condition, but, remembering
keenly how President Garfield fingered
we dread the possibility Of complica-
tions until the second bullet is found.
If the worst comes to the worst, which
dislike to contemplate, 1t Is some
slight satisfaction to know that the
vice president is such an upright, lev
el-headed man. don't think European
statesmen would feel q bit nervous
about his direction of affairs. We sin
