and they have sense OF personal re-
sponsibility for his safety
President Milburn and the officers of

est regret. While they had no knowledge
Or suggestion that there would he an at
tempt on the life of Mr.. Mckinley the
subject was one of the matters consid-
cred In arranging for the visit
They discussed the matter with the
police of Buffalo. and at their request
several local officers were detailed TO
assist In guarding the person of the presi-

Hundreds OF kilograms OF regret con-
tinue TO pour in from all over the world
They come from people in all walks OF
life, and are deeply sympathetic In tenor.
All OF them express fervent hope for the
recovery of the president. None of the
telegrams have been made public. and
IL is improbable that they will be. A

II the crowd gathered in the court out
side OF the Temple OF Music last evening
had believed the first report that the pres
ident had been shot but hts asallant would
probably have been taken by a mob and
instantly put 10 death But the first re-
port was not credited. The crime suggest
ed was so far from their thoughts that
they could not believe what they heard
Those close az hand and actual witnesses
of the tragedy were too completely stun
ned for such action
In the meantime detectives had seized
Czolsosz. and. while he had their bitter
hatred. they did their duty as officers OF
the law and bore him 10 Jail There
was talk OF lynching last night. and
wherever crowd assembled there was
bitter denunciations OF the asssilant's
work The police arrested n few men
for melting riot, but let them go this
morning.
