The 'proudest day in Buffalo's his
tory" came to sad and sudden ending
on Friday afternoon last when President
Mckinley was shot twice by an An
rachist named Leon Czolgosz, who fired at
him at public reception in the Temple
of Music, as the latter was about to
shake the miscreant's hand. The weap-
on was short barrelled 80 calibre re-
volver, which he concealed in his right
hand by covering it with a handker-

One bullet took effect in the right
breast Just below the nipple, causing
a comparatively harmless wound. The
other took effect in the abdomen about
four inches below the left nipple. The
President was at once taken to the
Emergency Hospital on the grounds,
where the second bullet was unsuccess-
fully probed for. A number of skillful
physicians were hastily summoned and

books. A book on predestination was
placed in his hands, and reading it he
reached the conclusion that he was one
of those predestined to be lost. Its
gloomy theology drove his sensitive
mind to the point of dependency. He
resolved to commit suicide and went to
the river to carry out his intention. A
voice seemed to say, 'Look into your
Bible once more before you die" He
returned to the house and did 80. His
eye fell upon these words: "But we
see Jesus, who was made little lower
than the angels for the suffering of
death, crowned with glory and honor ;
that he by the grace of God should taste
death for every man" For hours he
prayed earnestly and at 3 o'clock in the
morning reused the other inmates of the
honse by his joyful shouts. He was

AS chairman of the ways and means
committee he reported the tariff law of
1890, but in the November following he
was defeated for congress in a gerry
wandered district.
In 1891 he was elected governor of
Ohio by a plurality of 21,511, and in
1898 he was reelected by plurality of
so, 995.
In 1884 he was delegate at-large to
the Republican national convention and
supported James G. Blaine for presi-
dent. He was member of the COM

form to the convention.
In 1888 he was again delegate-at-

wounds in the stomach sutured and
carefully looked after. Shortly after
the President was taken to the residence
of John G.. Milburn, president of the
American Exposition, on Delaware
avenue. where he has since remained.
The deed was fiendish in thought and
execution. The assassin was at once
arrested and it required all the strength
of large force of policemen and detec-
tives to prevent the crowd from lynch
ing him. AS it was, he was severely
pommelled.
The physicians gave out frequent bull
letins to the public. AS the hours passed
they became more favorable and when
DR.. Charles M. McBurney, who had
been summoned from New York, ar
rived, in consultation said that barring
unforeseen complications the President
would recover, the tidings were received
with heartfelt gratitude not only by
millions of anxious Americans but by
the nations of the world.
Managers Madigan of the Western
Union, Ostrcm of the Postal Telegraph
and Pope of the Telephone Company
were prompt in giving out the bulletins
received here. which, among other
places, were prominently displayed at
the Chronicle office, which was the CEN
tire of an excited and anxious crowd. On
Sunday bulletins were read from the
various pulpits and without an excep-
ton the pastors referred in earnest terms
to the assassination, while fervent
prayers for the Presidents speedy re-
covery were very generally offered.
Vice President Roosevelt, who was at
tending public function near Burling-
ton, VT, was summoned by special
train, and he, with the members of the
Cabinet and Senator Hanna, were in
constant attendance at the Milburn resi-
dence until Wednesday, when it was
thought that the critical period had
passed.

BANK CHARTERS ARE in DANGER
Unless Congress Passes a Law Pro
vidinp for Their Extension.
scripps-McRae Press Assn.

ScripDs-AIcRae Press Assn.
Washington, July 30.-There are
1,73S national banks in this country
whose charters are in danger unless
congress passes a law before July 12,
1902, providing for their extension
Comptroller Dawes says that unless
congress does take some action before
the date named these banks will be
seriously embarrassed. The original
national banking act, passed in 1868,
provided that the charters OF national
banks SHOULD extend for twenty years
On July II, 1882, an amendment was
passed authorizing the comptroller Of
the currency to extend the charters
for another period of twenty years
Mr. Dawes holds that the act of 1882
does not give him authority to re-
extend the charters OF those banks
which have once had their corporate
existence extended and that new legis-
lation is necessary to reach them.
Without additional legislation au-
thorizing the further extension banks
desiring to continue in business under
the national bank system, the corpo-
rate existence of which had once
Deen extended. will be compelled to
go into liquidation at the expiration
of the period of extension and reor-
ganize as new associations" said
Comptroller Dawes today. "Tls will
render necessary the complete wind
ing up of the affairs of the expiring
bank, the retirement of its circula-
tion. the withdrawal of it's bonds AMI
the issuing Of new certificate of au-
thority by the comptroller, with a
distinctly new title and character
number, as is the case with an en-
tirely new organization"
Banks that have been organized for
less than twenty years can have their
charters continued for an additional
period of twenty years without regard
to the proposed new law Comptrol
Ter Dawes asked for the needed legis-
latlon last year. but it was opposed
by Senator Allison as likely to cause
debate.
