London, Sept. S.-TLe news of the at
tempt upon the life of President Nc
Kinley spread slowly In London. Tho
first ticker reports were discredited; then,
with the confirmation and the general
dissemination of the news, arose a far
reaching feeling of sorrow and indigna-
ton which wherever Americans were
gathered, almost gained the proportions
of a panic, accompanied by feverish
anxiety for further details. The thou
conds OF Americans now in London were
mostly at the theaters when the news
arrived, and returning to their hotels.
found anxious groups of Englishmen and
Americans discussing what, without dis
tinction of race, is regarded as a national
calamity. Comparatively few English
men heard the news last night, but all
these expressed horror and sympathy as
genuine as If it a been the king in
stead of the president. The latter's kind
ly personality, his friendship for Eng
land, and his kindly message of con-
dolcnce upon the occasion of Queen Vic
toria's death, were recalled, in voices as
low and awe-stricken as those or any
purely American gathering.
All the newspapers his morning pub
s~assination of President Mckinley. Their
editorials are unanimous In their express
sions OF horror at the dastardly crime and
profess the ~profoundest sympathy for
the president.

IN DEEPEST GRIEF.
Washington stunned BY the News
of the AttncIk on tho President.

VI NV sh thG
Washington, Sept. S.-The news Of the
shooting of President Mckinley caused
a tremendoas sensation. So frequent have
been rumors of this sort. often put afoat
in recent years for stock jobbing pur-
poses, that the general disposition at first
was to withhold full acceptance OF the
story, but when 1t was confirmed a feel
ing of deep gloom and profound sorrow
spread over the city. for Mr.. McKinIey's
delightful personality had endeared him
to the citizens or Washington, apart from
the official class, in a degree that rarely
has been equalled. 1t was some time be-
fore the full force of the blow was APP
preciated. the people were stunned and
they could not respond at once and fully
comprehend the extent of the great dis
aster that had fallen on the country and
themselves.
Steps were at once taken to provide for
the future of the executive branch OF the
government. 1t was realized that even
under the most favorable conditions, the
presidents injuries are Of such a char
acter as to make It almost certain that
he cannot undertake for a long time to
discharge the duties of chief executive,
even in the most formal way. Every
member OF the cabinet, able to travel, is
expected TO speed at once to Buffalo, and
there a cabinet council will be held to de-
eide upon the course TO be followed by
the executive branch. Vice President
Roosevelt. of course. will hold himself in
readiness to do whatever is necessary and
to meet the obligations imposed
Upon the Vice President
by the constitution OF the United States.
These are contained in paragraph 6, Sec
ton /, article 2, In the following words:
IS In case Of the removal OF the pres
ident from Office, or of his death, res
ignation, or inability to discharge the
powers and duties OF the said office, the
same shall devolve on the vice president,
etc."
Under the terms of this article as soon
as Mr.. Roosevelt shall be assured by
proper authority, probably In this case
by the senior member Of the abine
Secretary Hay. who doubtless will be in
Buffalo by this evening. he will under
take at once in a provisional way TO dis.
charge such duties as may devolve on
him. Much will depend upon the report
OF the physicians upon the character OF
the presidents injuries. as to the extent
to which Mr.. Roosevelt will discharge the
presidential duties. II he shall undertake
them at all. and it Is almost certain that,
In the absence of great emergency In
public affairs, even IL called to assume
these obligations. the vice president viii
confine himself In the exercise OF his pow
ers to the discharge OF the most routine
and indispensable functions.
For the present the thought OF a fatal
termination OF the presidents condition
Is referred to with awe-like apprehension,
ana there is a hopeful. even prayerfui.
anticipation that there may be no need
for meeting those grave emergencies
which would follow q fatal termination
OF the tragic event.

Prisoner COnfcsses.
he at arst admitted that he was an
anarchist in sympthy at least, but de-
hied~ strenuously that the attempt on the
lie or the president was a result of a
preconcerted plot on the part of any an
archist society. At times he was defiant
and again Indifferent. But at no time
did he betray the rAmotest sign of re-
morse. After long and persistent ques-
'lonlng 1t was announced at police head
that the prisoner had made q
partial confession which he had signed.
AS near as oan be learned the facts
contained in the confession are as fol-
lows:
The mans name Is Leon Czolgosz. He
Is an avowed anarchist and an ardent dis
ciple of Emma Goldman, whose teach
ings, he alleges, are responsible for the
on the president. He denies stead
fastly that he is the instrument OF any
body Of anarchists or the tool of n
coterie OF plotters. He declares he did
not have a confederate. His only reason
for the deed, he declares, is that he be-
lieved the present form of government in
the United States was unjust, and he
concluded the most effective way to rem
edy it was to kill the president.
