| BUFFALO, Sept. S.-There Is no truth in
| the report that the members of the Cabinet
yesterday discussed the question of the
wholesale arrest of Anarchists in different
| parts of the country, although in an in
| formal way they have naturally talked
| over the danger from those advocates of
| the destruction of all governments and
| the advisability of possible legislation upon
| the subject. Neither have they canvassed,
so far as can be learned. the advisability of
| a proclamation to foreign countries, con-
| cerning the catastrophe. The necessity for
such a notification would seem useless, as
every government in the world has already
| taken cognizance of the crime. as is evi-
| dent from the cables from all parts of the
world that have poured in here.
The members of the Cabinet are doing
! everything in their power to prevent the
sensational exploitation of Czolgocz. be-
| cause he undoubtedly Graves notoriety and
! because his fellow-A Anarchists throughout
| the country love it. They do not desire to
| place any stone I'm the path of the authori-
! ties who are laboring to unravel the plot,
| if any plot existed, and all the machinery
| of the government secret service will be
| used to aid the State authorities in the
| prosecution of their investigation. But by
| the direct request of Secretary Root, on
| behalf of his colleagues the district at
| torney and the police will not permit the
| prisoner to be seen or interviewed, nor will
| they discuss the methods of the results of
| their efforts to discover the originators of
| the plot. All that has leaked out from the
| jail shows that the prisoner is vain and
| boastful of his crime and would, if given
an opportunity, fill the newspapers with
columns of his vaporings.
The police continue their precautions for
| the protection of Leon Czolgocz, assailant
| of the President from mob violence. AL
though there does not seem to be the slight
| est danger of another demonstration
| against him, the guards were kept posted
| during the night around the police station
where he is prisoner, and a reserve force
was held subject to immediate call. Loiter-
| ers who were found about the station were
promptly ordered to move on. Czolgocz
! still continues to eat we'll and sleep well,
and seems absolutely Indifferent to his
fate. He makes no inquiries as to the con-
dition of the President and apparently
| cares nothing as to the outcome of his in
| juries.
| Alfonso Stutz, supposed to be a German
| thirty-five years of age, has been arrested
| mere. lie Is Sdlu 10 nave arrived here
| within an hour after Czolgoczs arrest and
has a room adjoining Nowak's The fact
that he arrived so soon after Czolgocz and
was stopping in the same house aroused
! suspicion. and he was placed under arrest
| Superintendent of Police Bull, however.
clears Alfonso Stutz Of any part In the plot
| against the life OF President Mckinley
! Discussing his arrest to-day he said: 1--WE
are satisfied that Stutz did not even know
| Czolgocz, and that he had nothing to do
with the crime. He arrived here the day
| Czolgocz did, and roomed near him We
rounded him UP with several others whom
we believed might have been implicated
We found a pair of brass knuckles on him,
and as that was an offense we held him
| for it. He was formerly a lieutenant in the
| German army and arrived in America by
| the steamship Deutschland about ten days
| ago"
A member of the firm of Walbridge &. Co.
| it is said, has identified the box which con-
| tanned the revolver with which Czolgocz
| shot President Mckinley as having the price
marks of that firm. 1t is supposed the
weapon was sold on Tuesday last. II is
not known whether it was personally pur-
| chased by Czolgocz. Only the empty box
| was found In CzolgOczs bag.
