USE ViGlLANTE METHODS.
John w. Mackay Would Apply. Old Cali
fornin Plan to Anarchists.

New York, Sept. 19.-"Anarchists
should be dealt with severely" said
John w. Mackay, in an interview last
night.
I'VE never had SO good a government
in San Francisco and Virginia City as
during those years when the vigilance
committees were in control. Every Of
fender was tried by a jury Of twelve
good men, and. IL found guilty, was put
to death on the spot. Sac characters
left the country instantly on receiving
warning from the committee. 1t did
not have to be repeated.
II hope the newspapers and public
officials will urge immediate action. 1t
makes no matter how brave q man may
be some coWardly assassin, with a
noiseless gun, may shoot him from q
roof at some unexpected moment.
Guards amount to nothing. Men have
been a~ssassinated in the midst of their
soldiers.
Summary justice properly executed
will do the work. Drive the anarchists
u Of America. Hang every one Of
them caught in these crimes without
delay. Let the movement begin with
vigorous action on the part Of the COM
munity and they Will disappear when
they find we mean business. Every
anarchist arriving in this country
oiiOhit ~ Jill 'StS ~ llC ilCAl SlCdll-
er. The European police will attend to
them. They are Swallowed everywhere
and they should be kept over there
hunted down and promptly extermin-
ated.
THE time has come for business men
to take hold Of this matter and settle
1t in good shape. There should he no
half way measures. Let the papers
help the movement along, force con-
gress to make a proper law at the earli-
est m II have officials see that
it is executed. Public sentiment will do
the rest. The country will sustain such
a movement and make anarchy a thing
of the past"
Senator Depew, discussing the prob
lem of What Is to be done to suppress
anarchy, is quoted as saying:
1--WE must begin at the fountain head
and stop the reservoirs CT European
anarchy pouring into our country. Such
Certifcation Of immigrants must be had
as will establish a proper environment
and association abroad before they pass
u immigrant inspectors. Supplement-
ing this, there should be, under proper
safeguards, the power lodged some
where to expel known enemies of u
laws Ii country. Legislation should
be adopted that will take attempts upon
the life of the president out of the cate
CORY of mere assaults and make such
crimes adequately punished"

CZoLGosz IN MOVING plCTUnE5.
Attempted to Got Near tho President. Day
Before the Shootinr Occurrad.

New York, Sept. 20.-Secret service
agents n detectives who are running
down anarchists supposed to be in the
plot to kill President Mckinley were
presented with the moving pictures TAX
en- for a kaleidoscope while President
Mckinley was making his last speech,
the day before he Ia shot, and also
pictures taken Of the following day.
President Mckinley and his wife are
SHOWN as they advance on the platform.
AS President Mckinley arises and be-
gins his address a man Is seen to push
his way through the crowd. He is SO
determined to get neal the president
that he causes much discomfort. Sew
eral men are seen to turn upon him
and attempt to impede his progress,
but he fights his way through, then
turns and for the first time faces the
kaleidoscope. The face is undoubtedly
that of Leon CZolgosZ.
Then he begins to move forward. The
kaleidoscope pictures his movements
exactly. He makes his way to the foot
Of the stand on which the president is
speaking. He turns his face toward the
kaleidoscope. This time he looks wild
and excited. His derby hat is pulled
down over his eyes, but as he raises his
head they can be seen steadily. The
pictures end as the president closes his
speech and CzolgosZ is lost.

COUSINS AS
townn May Be Panegyrist OF Mckinley
in Congress-,

Washington. Sept. 20.-Some day next
winter congress viii set aside all bust
ness and VIII devote itself to eulogies
upon the life and character of William
Mckinley. There has been some dis
cussion as to the choice Of orator or
that occasion. It is recalled tina George
Bancroft. historian. delivered the ad-
dress to congress upon the occasion of
the Lincoln eulogies. James G. Blaine
made the wonderful speech on the oc-
casion of Garfield's death. There Is no
Blaine today and there are few orators
to equal him. Some of the men who
were members Of the last congress, no.
tably Thurston and Wolcott. have re-
tired to private life, but there is one
orator still in congress who may be
chosen He Is Robert Cousins of Iowa.
Cousins Is in some respects the ablest
speaker in either house, and there is
strong sentiment in favor Of his selec-
ton for this honorable duty. Cousins
IS a scholar and an orator, and while
ne Is not In the senate it is thought he
is more likely to be chosen than any
one else In either house, although #
may be that an outsider will have the
honor conferred Upon him.

1tecord Breaking Crowds OF 1896 Sur
passed by Funeral Gathering.
Canton, O., Sept. 21.-The streets of
the little city Of Canton were
filled with waving plumes, prancing
horses and densely packed bodies
of moving men assembled here for the
procession which was to escort the re-
mains Of the late president from the
church to the West Lawn cemetery.
All night long, and until noon,
Civic, military, fr%aternal, social
and commercial organizations from the
four quarters of the compass poured
into the seething mass of humanity al
ready here. Two sections of the train
bearing the senate and the house of
representatives and other government
officials from Washington arrived dur
ing the morning.
The biggest crowd in the history Of
Canton, which was here during the
campaign of 1896, estimated at over Co.
600, was exceeded today. People over
flowed the sidewalks and literally
packed the streets from side to side.
The aWe-stricken crowds, upon arrival,
all moved as if by a common impulse
toward the old familiar Mckinley cot
tage, where the remains were lying.
The military guard stationed at the
-four corners Of the lawn paced their
beats, but there was no other sign of
life about the house. Window shades
We're down. A border Of black
put in place after the body was re-
moved to the house last night fringed
the roo of the porch. No badge of
conventional mourning was on the
door. Instead there was a simple
wreath of palms bisected by a beautiful
band Of white and purple satin ribbon.
S~orrowfully the throngs urned away,
the people to take up their positions at
the church, the representatives to seek
their places in the imposing procession.

dent will be able to discuss it in his
forthcoming message to Congress lie
warmly approves of it.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The members
of the Isthmian Commission are having
a serious controversy over determ ming
whether or not they will recommend to
congress the construction of a canal by
the United States government over the
Nicaraguan or the Panama route. In the
COMMISSIONS first or preliminary report,
presented last winter, the Nicaragua
route was recommended by the entire
Commission. Since then, serious obstacles
are said to have been discovered in the
way of engineering work in the Nicara-
qua canal route and some members of
the Commission have announced their
purpose to recommend that the govern
ment take by purchase, if possible, the
Panama Canal property. The Cimmis-
sion's report has not been made up yet,
as to conclusions. Nothing but conclu-
sions remain for discussion, however and
there will be q meeting of the Commits
sion in Washington within the next ten
days. and it is then expected that the
matter as to which route IS to be select
ed will be decided upon.
FoTmer Senator Pasco, Of Florida, Is
one man who has changed from the Mica
ia qua to the Panama route. He 5 gned
the Nicaragua report a year ago. and
early in the summer he told your CORE
spondent that he had not changed his
mind. But since then he has changed,
and is now very apt TO record his vote
as the member of the Commission for the
Panama route, basing his change entire
~ upon reports received from engineers
who have examined both routes upon the
order of the Commission.

CANAL PROSPECTS
Agreement With Great Britain Is
Said to Have Been
Reached.

CHICAGO, Oct 6.-Telegraphing to
the Record-Herald from Washington,
Walter Wellman says:
THE United States and Great Britain
have reached an agreement concerning
the isthmian canal question, and now
treaty will be presented to the Senate
for it's ratification early in the coming
session. I am now able to give the sub
stance of this treaty. Il provides:
I'D For the abrogation of the old
Clayton-Bulwer treaty in toto.
"(2) For the neutral isthmian canal,

to ships of all nations upon equal
terms.
'(3) This neutrality is guaranteed by
the United States alone, and other
maritime powers are not invited to par
ticipate in such Guarantee. Great Brit
ain is inferentially one of the guar
antors because she is a party to this
treaty.
90 In case of war. the United
States reserves the right to take such
steps for it's own protection as It nay
deem proper.
1T will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered to the old HayPaunce-
fote convention, and which led to its
rejection by the Senate"
