SORROW IN SAVANNAH.
Attack on President Mckinley Ex-
cited the sympathy of the People.

Attack on President Mckinley Ex-
cited the sympathy of the People.
Savannah was moved with sorrow
and sympathy when the news Of the
shooting of President Mckinley be-
came known. The bulletins at the
Cotton Exchange were the first .infor-
nation on the Bay, although the Asso-
ciated Press had already sent out the
news over its wires. The board was
imedately surrounded by the members
of the Exchange. and in an incredibly
short time the news had spread over
the city and crowds began to gather
at the newspaper offices.
The source of the information was
known to but few and the lack of COR
roborative details made many people
believe that it was a groundless ru-
groups on the street corners and dis
cussed it and every passing acquain-
tnace was halted and told Of the news
and asked for further information.
Within very few minutes after the
bulletin was received at the Cotton
Exchange the telephones of the Morn
ing News became busy and call after
call, almost without intermission, was
made by people anxious to know II the
report were true and the particulars
of the assault. The reports, as fast as
they could be had, were displayed by
the Morning News, and were read by
constantly growing crowds.
Wherever the matter was discussed
only the greatest sympathy for the
President was expressed, and the hope
that the wounds would not prove
fatal. For the assassin no punishment
allowed by law was deemed too severe.
and the plea was that such an exam
pie be made of him as to quell in 9TH
ers the anarchistic spirit that prompt
ed the deed.
President Mckinley Is known to
many Savannahians who met him here
when he visited Savannah several
years ago as member of the River
and Harbor Commission, and again
on his later visit to inspect the Seventh
Army Corps.

New York, Sept Though the news
on the attempt of the life of the Presi-
dent did not reach the financial dis
trict until after the stock market had
closed and most of the important bank
ers had left for the day, a number of
important conferences by various finan-
cial interests were called.
The most public of these was meet
ing of bank officers at the buckingham
Hotel This conference was well at
tended. and the situation was thorough
ly discussed. At the conclusion of the
meeting j. Edward Simmons, acting
chairman of the Clearing House COM
mittee, in the absence of Chairman
Frederick D. Tappan, made the follow
ing statement:
After a somewhat prolonged period
of liquidation the financial situation is
one that should excite no alarm. The
banks are strong and are in position
to meet the emergency that has arisen.
A majority of the Clearing House Com
mittee is in town and a consultation
has taken place. The business of the
country is on a substantial basis, and
the clearing house banks are amply
able to cope with the situation and
they will stand together in this
emergency as they have done in the
past"

THE DEEPEST SORROW.
"This Assassin is the HeIlish spawn

Baltimore, Sept. 7.-Cardinal Gibbons
gave evidence of the utmost solicitude
for the Chief Executive, and when he
read the bulletin announcing the opin-

the wounds of President Mckinley
were not necessarily fatal he excleim-

Senator Depew Speaks Feelingly of
Wounded Chief Magistrate.

Wounded Chief Magistrate.
New York, Sept. 7.-Senator c. NJ.
Depew, when seen at his summer home
at Peekskill, N. Y, expressed profound
regret because of the attempted assas-
sination of President Mckinley. He
said, among other things:
II distinctly recall the horrors con-
nected with Lincoln's assassination.
This was the elimination in an idle
brain of the passions of the Civil War.
Garfield's assassination was the out
come on the same sort of mind of one
of the fiercest factional fights in our
party history. The situation of the at
tempt on McKinley's life differs en-
tirely from the Lincoln or Garfield as
sassinat ton.
Mckinley was the most universally
popular of all of our Presidents"
Senator Depew then dwelt at length
upon the prosperity connected with
President McKinley's administration,
his successful conduct of the Spanish
American war, and the beautiful do
mestic life of the President as reasons
why Mckinley had secured such a
strong hold on the hearts of the people,

God That Life OF the President
IIea Bsen Spared.
New York, Sept. 7.-Regarding the at
tack upon President Mckinley. ex-Sec-
retary of the Navy William C. Whit
ney in an interview, said:
1T was the act of a madman. The
man may say he is an anarchist, but
no sane person would shoot man like
President Mckinley. 1t is an awful
thing-awful. 1t is hard to realize that
such thing could happen in this coun-
try. All the civilized nations of the
world will look upon this act of mad
man with horror. 1t is horrible even
to think of. 1t is a calamity that is
worldwide.
Mr.. Mckinley is a great and able
man. He has shown this in the way
he has kept his party together. He has
always been a leader, and an excellent
one. A man who twice had been elect
ed President of a nation like ours, and
especially in such period as this, is
a man who stands out among the great
men of the world.
sad as is the occurrence, I do not
think the attempt on the Presidents
life will have any effect on the indus
tries of the country. The business af-
fairs of the nation are now in such
shape that no shock could affect them.
Securities. l am positive, will remain
steady. Things are different from
what they were when President Gar
field was shot down by an assassin,
and the scenes and troubles in the busi-
ness world which followed that trag-
edy are not probable of repetition"

Washington, Sept. President Nc.
Kinley was averse to bodyguard or
to restrictions on his movements and
was exceedingly informal and demo-
cratic while in this city. On many
pleasant mornings he INDUCED in

grounds surrounding the White House.

western side of the grounds and was
Joined by Controller of the Currency
charles Dawes, also an early riser. and
together these two men would make the
circuit of the eliipse south of the White
House grounds. Upon those occasions
he was never accompanied by body
guard or a secret service man. 1t is
said Mr.. Mckinley was often warned
that the strolls alone were dangerous,
the idea of which he ridiculed.
Frequently Mr.. Mckinley drove alone
about the city and it's suburbs. often,
the President himself handled the reins,
but at no time was there ever a secret
service man in attendance.
A few days ago Washington Post
reporter, while at Buffalo, talked with
Capt. Valley, of the exposition force,
on the precautions he would take to
insure the Presidents safety. Capt.
Valley said he had the picked men of
the country under him and that all the
time the President was in the exposi-
ton grounds he would be surrounded
by alert detectives who would form a
constant bodyguard, and ridiculed the
possibility of danger.
