The shock is so unexpected that

the sentence of Imprisonment for life.
The hour is late, and he is anxious to
be at home. He has no compassion for
me. They lead me back to my cell,

the warden said. and if you gentlemen

you may take the afternoon train foi

added jocularly.

He looked at me in establishment.

gent Measures

tions authorizes the order to memorial
ize congress to enact laws to stamp
anarchy out of the country. Represen-
tatives of the order from every state
and territory in the union voted for the
resolutions which are as follows:
Whereas, For the third time in a
period OF but little more than three
and one-half decades the chief eXecu-
tive of the nation has been shot down
at the hands of an anarchist, or by
persons of anarchistic tendencies.
THAT in the calamity that has come
to our beloved president, we, the Con-
catenated Order of Hoo Hoo, represen-
tatives Of the lumber and allied indus
tries of every state and territory of
the union do sorrow with him.
THAT we not only deplore, but view
with the greatest indignation and hor-
row a state of society in which it is
possible that the lives of chosen eXecu-
tives should constantly be in danger
from the attacks of members of this
most obnoxious and dangerous clan,
and the legitimate working out of it's
insane sophistries; therefore, be it,
Resolved, That this order hereby
memorable congress to enact laws and
provide penalties that shall stamp from
the face of our land this class of be-
ings, by prohibiting any gathering
whatsoever at which anarchistic ten
cts are promulgated prohibit both
the publication and circulation of news
papers and documents containing such
teachings and prohibit any plot against
the life of any one holding high office
in this or any other land, and provide
penalties for the infraction of these
laws that shall be the most severe
known in civilized countries. And be
it further
Resolved, That the Concatenated Or
der of Hoo Hoo extends to President
William Mckinley our sincere sympa-
thy in this, his hour of suffering, and
most heartily felicitate him on his
chances of recovery, made almost GER
tain by his indomitable courage

perfectly confident that the president
will recover. So confident was he, in
fact, that when a question of doubt
was put % him he answered it with a
parry. He was asked
DO you remember that President
Garfield progressed for ten days and
that then just when he was ready to
get out. ne collapsed and finally died ?''
Quick as thought the vice president
answered: 'Ah. but you forget twenty
years Of modern surgery, of progress.
From what l can learn also the Gar
field wound was much more serious
than the wound of President McKin-
ley. 1 believe that the president will
recover and I believe it so thoroughly

Mr.. Roosevelt read with cagerness
the early dispatches from the Milburn
mansion telling of the presidents
improved condition. When he had fin
ished he clapped his hands joyously
and with tears in his eyes said to Mr..
Wilcox, his host: There! Didn't l

nounced that the vice president had
been urged, in view of the presidents
improving condition, to utilize his last
day in seeing some of the Pan Ameri-
can exposition. notably the government
building. The vice president declined
the invitation with some little We
hemence. He said:
Il do not believe, even though l am
assured of the presidents convalescence
that it would be entirely proper for me
to take part in any of the festivities.
1 have studioUsly refrained from going
out or being entertained during my
visit, and ! will continue that policy
until / leave. / came here absolutely
as a matter of duty both to the presi-
dent and TO the people, and not for
pleasure"
When the vice president stepped out
to the sidewalk to go to the Milburn
house a secret service detective stepped
up alongside of him. He turned around
when he found the man following him,
and said: Il do not want you to fol-
low me. I don't need any one and I
am not afraid" :"

EVIDENCE OF 4 PLOT
To XIII the f'resfdent-Police Claim to
Have such I'm Possession

Buffalo, y. Y, September ia num-
Der of witnesses supposed to have
knowledge of the movements of Czol-
gosz after ne came to Buffalo were
brought ID police headquarters this
morning by local detectives. to be
questioned by Superintendent Bull and
District Attorney Penney. The police
declined 10 give the names of the wit
nesses or to tell what information had
been gained from them The district at
torney would only say that he knew
several witnesses had been brought in
and that he rad been asked TO come
down and examine them.
The police continue to work on their
first theory, that there was an extended
and carefully planned plot TO kin the
president, and inquiry is being pressed
energetically along that line in every
city where there are circles Of anar-
chiSts.
The new York and Paterson depart
ments are watching the anarchists OF
those two cities, while at Chicago.
Cleveland and Detroit there are men on
the trail Of the prisoner. The secret
service bureau at Washington is CO.
operating with every one OF its opera
tives who can be used. That the plot
| has been revealed or the identity OF the
| principals established the police them
| selves admit.
CZolgosz has been examined by Drs-.
| r. S. Crego and Joseph Hewler, special
| lists on mental disorder. who were
| called in by District Attorney Penny.
| They talked with him and took series
| of careful measurements OF his head
| 1t is understood that they are con-
vinced that he is perfectly sane. There
| has never beer any doubt on the part
| of the police on the subject. but they
| wish to be fortified when the case
| comes to trial.
