decorations everywhere now seem a
mockery and the visitors who swarm
the city'S streets wander aimlessly
hlther and thither with heavy hearts.
Thousands of men, drawn by the mag
net of their thoughts, go out to the
Milburn residence instead of to the
exposition and stand at the ropes
with barred heads discussing in sup
pressed whispers the chances of the
presidents recovery. Many of them
are allowed to pass the residence on
the opposite of Delaware avenue, but
the curtains of the residence are
drawn and they catch no glimpse of
the forms fitting about within the
darkened house.
The relatives of the president have
hurried here, and with them have
come large number of men in pub
lie life. Senator Hanna, who hurried
on from Cleveland last night, was adj
mitted to the room of the president
after his arrival. Senator Hanna is
deeply affected by the crime.
If the crowd gathered in the court
outside of the Temple of Music last
evening had believed the first report
that the president had been shot, his
assailant would probably have been
taken by mob and instantly put to
death. But the first report was not
credited. The crime suggested was so
far from their thoughts that they
could not believe what they heard.
Those close at hand and actual wit
nesseS of the tragedy were too COM
pletely stunned for such action. In
the meantime detectives had seized
CzolgosZ and while he had their bit
ter hatred they did their duty as Off
GERS ot the law and bore him prisoner
to Jail. There was talk of lynching
and wherever a crowd assembled there
were bitter denunciations of the as
sailants' work. The police arrested
a few men for melting riot. but let
them go. The feeling now is no less
intense than yesterday, bat it will not
find expression in mob violence.
suffers When Breathing Deeply.
Washington, Sept. S.-Gen. Giles
pie, acting secretary of war, received
the following telegram from Mai.
Thomas w. Symons, engineer corps,
at Buffalo: Have just come from
Milburn house. President resting
comfortable. No unfavorable symp-
toms have developed. Suffers no pain
except when he breathes deeply.
Looks well and feels as well as could
be possible under the circumstances.
Doctors speak encouragingly."
Able to Take Nourishment.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. s.-At
three o'clock the president was doz-
ing peacefully. He has not yet re-
covered completely from the effects
of the ether administered during the
operation. He has taken some liquid
nourishment during the day. Mrs.
Mckinley is in her room lying down
and showing remarkable fortitude.
No bad symptoms have yet been mani
tested.
His Pulse Not Alarming.
Buffalo. Sept. S.-The rapidity of
the presidents pulse does not unduly
alarm the physicians. DIR. Rixey says
that the president has always had a
somewhat erratic pulse and its sudden
rise was not unexpected. The presi-
dent is conscious and is calm and col
lected although still somewhat
drowsy from the effcts of the ether
administered to him Friday.
More Encouraging Bulletin.
Buffalo. n. Y, Sept. s.-The most
hopeful word yet sent out from the
Milburn residence was dispatched by
Secretary Cortelyou at four p. M, in
message to Secretary Long. DR..
RiXey authorized Secretary Cortelyou
to offer much encouragement.
Deep Sorrow In Washington.
Washington, Sept. s.-The startling
news of the attempted assassination
of President Mckinley came to the
national capital within ten minutes
after the deed had been committed.
Strangely enough, it found the seat
of government deserted by every
member of the presidents official
family and hardly a prominent mem
ber of either house or senate was
here. The expressions of sympathy
are general. The love with which the
president is regarded by even the
humblest here, where he is best
known, for his remarkable domestic
qualities were strongly illustrated.
Every bulletin issued that showed an
encouraged improvement in the pres
ident's condition was received with
shouts of approval.
Roosevelts Car Locked and Guarded.
Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. s.-Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt left here at 1927 a. M,
en- route to Buffalo. His car was
guarded by city detectives and was
locked. Cards of intimate friends were
refused.
Not n United States Offense.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. S.-.sAs far as
know at present, the assassin
of the president will have to be tried
under the same conditions as those of
an ordinary citizen said District At
