NATIONS CAPITAL
PLUNGED IN GRIEF
All Glasses Stunned and Dismayed BY
the Terrible News From Buffalo.

Washington, Sept THE ne- =
of the shooting of President McKinley
reached Washington late yesterday
afternoon, causing a tremendous sensa,
ton. So frequent have been rumors Of
this sort, often put aioat in recent
years for stock jobbing purposes that
the general disposition at first was to
withhold full acceptance of the story
Of the news, but when it was confirmed
a feeling of deep gloom and profound
sorrow spread over the city for Mr..
McKinley's delightful personality had
endeared him to the citizens of Wash
ington, apart from the official class, in
a degree that rarely has been equalled.
1t was some time before the full force
of the blow was appreciated. The peo-
pie were stunned, and they could not
respond at once and fully comprehend
the extent of the great disaster that
had fallen upon the country and them
selves. Then when the newspapers
began TO appear, the carriers rushed
madly through the streets and crowds
Of people began to gather from all
quarters of the city around the news
paper bulletin boards.
The telephone system of the city was
simply paralyzed for time, and many
were the calls upon the news offices
and upon the officials who we're sup
posed to have knowledge of the details
Of the shooting that the operators were
overwhelmed.
A reporter carried to the White
House the first bulletin announcing the
shooting of the President. The execu-
tive mansion was reached about AIS,
and at that time all its few inmates
were in total ignorance of the tragedy

waited for official confirmation OF the
news and it was not until he received
a copy of the bulletin issued by the
physicians through Secretary Cortelyou
that he undertook to acduaint officially

The Vice President ReJoIced BY Tld'

Burlington, VT, Sept THE first
news of the attempted assassination OF
President Mckinley reached Vice Pres
ident Roosevelt at Isle La Motto at
$50 yesterday afternoon when the vice
president was informed over the tele-
phone that there was rumor that tho
President was shot. 1t was confirmed
by another message a moment later.
The vice president seemed stunned by
the news, put his hands to his head,
then exclaimed my God"
Then to the Associated Press rep
resentative he said
81 am too shocked and grieved TO ex-
press my feelings"
A few minutes later, when bulletin
was handed him, saying that Presi-
dent McKinley's wounds were not fatal,
the vice president sent word to the
gathering: Like all our people, and
like the whole civilized world, you will
rejoice to hear this good news"
The vice president started at once for
Buffalo.

sition. chatting with the President and
introducing To him especially persons
of note who approached. Upon the
Presidents left stood Mr.. Cortelyou.
II was shortly after p m. when
one Of the throng which surrounded
the presidential party. a medium-sized
man of ordinary appearance. and plain
ly dressed in black, approached as If
to greet the President.
Both Secretary cortelyou and Presi-
dent Milburn noticed that the mans
hand was swathed In a bandage or
handkerchief. Reports of bystanders
differ as to which hand. He worked
his way amid the stream of people up
TO the edge of the dais until he was
within two feet of the President.
Sharp Crack Of the Revolver.
President Mckinley smiled. bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of geniality the American people so
well know, when suddenly the sharp
crack of a revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices, the
shutting of myriad feet and vibrating
waves of applause that ever and anon
swept here and there over the Assem-.
blage.
There was an instant Of almost com
plete silence. The President stood
stock still. look OF hesitancy, almost
of bewilderment on his face. Then
he retreated a step, while pallor be-
gan to steal over his features.
The multitude, only partially aware
that something serious had happened.
paused in surprise, while necks were
craned and all eyes turned as one
toward the rostrum where great
tragedy was being enacted.
Then came a commotion. With the
leap of a tiger three men threw them
selves forward, as with one impulse
and sprang toward the would-be assas-
sin. Two OF them were United States
secret service men who were on the
lookout, and whose duty 1t was to
guard aginst just such a calamity as
had here befallen the President of the
nation. The third was bystander, a
negro, who had only an instant pre-
viously grasped in his dusky palm the
hand of the President. AS one man
the trio hurled themselves upon the
Presidents assailant. In twinlSling
he was borne to the ground, his wea-
pom was wrested from his grasp and
strong arms pinioned him down.
Then the multitude which thronged
the ediiice began TO come to a realizing
sense of the awfulness of the scene
of which they had been unwilling wit
nesses.
A murmur arose. spread and swelled
to a hum of confusion, then grew to
a babel of sounds and later to a pandc-
monium of noises.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1901-09-07

The crowd that a moment before
had stood mute and motionless as in
bewildered ignorance of the enormity
of the thing, now with a single inn
pulse surged forward toward the stage
of the horrid drama. while a hoarse
cry welled up from thousand throats
and a thousand men charged forward
TO lay hands upon the perpetrator of
the dastardly crime.
For a moment the confusion was ter
rible. The crowd surged forward re-
gardless of consequences.
Men shouted and fought. women
screamed and children cried Some of
those nearest the doors fed from the
edifice in fear of stampede, while
hundreds of others from the outside
struggled blindly forward in the effort
to penetrate the crowded building and
solve the mystery of excitement and
panic, which every moment grew and
swelled within the congested interior
of the edifice.
Inside, on the slightly raised dais,
was enacted within those few feverish
moments a tragedy so dramatic in
character. so thrilling in its intensity
that few who looked on will ever be
able to give a succinct account Of what
really did transpire. Even the actors
who were playing the principal roles
came out of it with blanched faces,
trembling limbs and beating hearts.
while their brains throbbed with a
tumult of conflicting emotions which
could not be clarified into lucid mar
rative of the events as they really
transpfred.
But of the multitude which wit
messed or bore a part in the scene of
turmoil and turbulence there was but
one mind which seemed TO retain its
equilibrium, one hand which remained
steady, one eye which gazed with un-
finching calmness. and one voice
which retained its even tenor and fal
tered not at the most critical juncture.
They were the mind and the hand and
the eye and the voice of President Nc
Kinley.
President Remained Calm.

sins shots, he retreated step. then

ma yesterday afternoon, when the AS
sociated Press dispatch was read TO
him saying that President Mckinley
had been shot. "It's terrible and am

by the news and begged that all dis.
patches relating TO the condition OF
the President be felephoned to him as
fast as they arrived. IA
Later the senator was reported to
have telephoned to New York:
"The President will live"
When convinced that the news from
Buffalo was true Senator Hanna said:
Il cannot say anything about 1t. 1t is
too horrible to even contemplate, to
think that such q thing could happen
to so splendid a man as Mckinley, and
at this time and upon such an occasion.
