TRAGEDY, STAGGERING BLOW.
Tragic Death OF the President Caused
Heavy Loss - Efforts to Re-
vive Public interest.

Buffalo Is pulling itself together
again after fortnight of anxiety and
SORROW, such as IL has never known.
Buffalo was full of personal loyalty
and enthusiasm for President Mclkin

end while its guest depressed the city
beyond expression.
There was never IA community moro
engrossed in great undertaking than
Buffalo was with the Pan-American
Exposition three weeks ago. 1T Is
the first exposition which has had no
subsidies" citizens said. "The Unit
ed States has furnished an exhibit
far more attractive than ever seen
before; the State of New York has
erected beautiful marble palace;
the city OF Buffalo has built a bridge.
and has furnished water and fire and
police protection but the funds to
erect the city of light have all come
from the private resources of Buffalo
people"
When in his memorable address the
President emphasized the Pan-Ameri.
can idea and made 1t part of history
the people of Buffalo realized that
theii efforts were appreciated.
The revulsion was terrible. and now
that II Is passed the question of what
Is to come is interesting. The dol.
lars and cents seem pretty thoroughly
eliminated from the calculation now,
but the work to be done, and the end
to be achieved seem foremost In every
mans mind. They feel now that the
| Exposition must be carried to n glor.
ious finish as labor of patriotism
~ love. President Milburn put this
thought very strongly. He said:
There must be no faltering now
considering how much the success OF
the Exposition means in the develop
ment of closer political and CONNER
cial relations between the peoples oi
the hemisphere earnestly favored by
President Mckinley. Its ideal and
conception are in harmony with his
wise and benefcent public policy"
All state days and other special
| days set heretofore for this month
and postponed on account of the
| President are being reassigned and
taken up by the different States and
localities with increased interest.

The fact that II might be an anarchist
meeting was guessed at by Capt.
Hardy when his force had assembled.
but II was TIM too late to dare at.

determined to undertake the raid
with his small force of five men. The
raiders were all In plain clothing and
entered the saloon without question.
Most was on the stand at the far end
of the hall declaiming loudly. The
police were recognized and the cry
of warning was raised.
The call caused many to make n
break for the doors and for the win
dows. Most descended from the plat

Capt. Hardy kept his eye on the group
of men into which Most had been seen
to step. Backed by his men he began
working his way through the crowd

Most some of the group about the
leader attmpted active resistance and
In an instant the police had theil
sticks drawn. One or two of those
about Most went down with blood
