ATTEMPT MADE ON
 THE PRESIDENTS LIFE

and William Mckinley were the three Presidents most thoroughly in sympa. thy, apparently. with the great po1y or the common people of the country. that we have ha,l since the beginning Of our constitutional government. MT. Lincoln was assassinated in the early part or ms second term: Mir. Garfield during the first few months of his first term, and an attempt has been made to assassinate President Mckinley in the early part or his second term. It seems strange to my mind that such tate snou,u oe,a,i fault, and who were taitntuily perform ing the great duties Of their high once. President Mckinleys sole purpose was due to his duty: to take care that the laws should be faithfully executed and that the country should go on its career of growth and prosperity, and vet he seems to have shared the fate of those great men who have gone before him. "
 Senator T. c. Platt.
 New York. Sept. 6.-Senator Thomas c. Platt. with reference to the shooting of President Mckinley, said: Tt Is ap- palline, IL does not seem possible that % any man could do such a thing. That man was an anarchist. He was not crazy There was too much method in the way he did the act. advocate a drum-head courtmartial and that the man be taken off at once. This is one of the instances where l think lynch law justitiable.'
 Governor Davis.
 Little Rock Ark, Sept. 6.-Gov. Jeffer- son Davis said to the Associated Press, regarding the attempted assassination of President Mckinley:
 '.I have just learned of the sad calamity that has overtaken our Nation in the at tempted assassination of President Me Kiniey This is to be deplored indeed. and all true Americans, regardless of political faith. bow in deep regret at this sad occurrence. In behalf of the people of Arkansas I desire to express to the bereaved family the sympathy of the en- tire State in this sad bereavement"

PRESIDENT WAS
 ADVERSE TO GUARD.

Washington, Sept 7.-President McKin- ley was adverse to q bodyguard or to re- strictions on his movements, and was ex- ceedingly informal and democratic while in this city. On many pleasant mornings he indulged in a half hours stroll. en- tirely alone, through the southern portion of the grounds surrounding the White House. Very. often he left the gate at the western side of the grounds and was joined by Comptroller of the Currency Charles Dawes, also an early riser, and together these two men would make the circuit of the ellipse south of the White House grounds. Upon these occasions he was never accompanied by bodyguard or secret service man.
 The closest attendant in the secret ser- vice force that the President had was MT. Georye Foster. who constituted his per- sonal bodyguard. A few days ago a Washinstcn Post reporter, who was at Buffalo talked with Capt. Vallely of the Exposition force on the precautions he would take to insure the President s safety. Capt Valleley said he had the picked men of the country under him and that all the time the President was in the Exposition grounds he would be sur rounded by alert detectives who would form a constant bodyguard and ridiculed the possibility of danger.

papers to announce the news to the mass of the English people. and they will not learn until they take up their morning papers of the attempt to kill the Presf- dent. Comparatively few Englishmen heard the news tonight, but all these ex- pressed sympathy as genuine as if it had been the King instead of the President. The latter's kindly personality. his friend ship for England, and his kindly mes- sage of coincidence upon the occasion of Queen Victoria's death, were ali recalled in voices as low aand awe stricken as those of any purely American gathering.
 c. l.. Pullman, recalling a conversation ago, said to the Associated Press repre- sentative:
 T had been telling the President of my experiences in Russia, where I found it easier to get to the Czar than to him. MT. Mckinley said he believed 1t would fall to the lot of some occupant of the White House before many years had passed to control the destinies of North and South America
 The Lord Mayor of London, when in- formed of the attempt upon the Presi- dents life, said:
 'I shall call a meeting of the Alder men tomorrow, formally to express to Mrs. Mckinley and the American people horror and grief felt at the attempt%
 Mir. and Mrs. Nat c. Goodwin and other Americans who were to have dined at the Carlton tonight cancelled their en- gagement on hearing the news, and sll the orchestras ceased playing. Crowds surrounded the bulletin boards.
