When asked as to what course he
thought the manufacturers would

Shaffer said that he thought the Wells
vile situation was sufficient answer
to this question. 1T Is seen by this that
the strike leader expects a hard fight
and that he thinks the manufacturers
will make an effort to run their mills
with nonunion men before they ask fer
a conference.
President Shaffer has not yet made a
move toward extending the strike to
other plants of the great steel com
bine. Extra measures will not likely

lutely necessary in order to win. The
contributions of the men ut work are

ABOUT rne entrance TO the station
By this time there were probably
$4,000 people assembled in the vicinity
of Pearl, Seneca and Erie streets and
the Terrace. The crowd was so great
that it became necessary to rope off
the entire street in front of police
headquarters.
Inside the station house were assem-
bled District Attorney Penney, Super
intendent of Police Bull. Captain Rea-
gan of the First precinct and other
officials. The prisoner at first proved
quite communicative, so much so in
fact that little dependence could be
placed in what he said. He first
gave his name as Fred Neiman, said
his home was in Detroit, and that he
had been in Buffalo about week.
He said he had been boarding at a
place in Broadway. Later this place
was located as John Nowak's saloon,
Raines law hotel, No. 1918 Broadway.
Here the prisoner occupied room No.
s. Nowak, the proprietor, said he
knew very little about his guest He
came there, he declared, last Satur-
day, saying he had come to see the
Pan-Amerisan exposition, and that his
home was in Toledo. He had been
alone at all times about Nowak's
place and had had no visitors. In
his room was found small travelling
bag of cheap make. 1t contained an
empty cartridge box and few clothes.
With these facts in hand the police
went at the prisoner with renewed
vigor in the effort to obtain either
full confession or a straight account
of his identity and movements prior
to his arrival in Buffalo. He at first
admitted that he was an anarchist
in sympathy at least, but denied
strenuously that the attempt on the
life of the president was a result of
a p1econcerted plot on the part of any
anarchist society. At times he was
defiant and again Indifferent. But at
no time did he betray the remotest
sign of remorse. He declared the
deed was not premeditated, but in tie
same breath refused to say why he
perpetrated it. When charged by
District Attorney Penney with being
the instrument of an organized band
of conspirators, he protested We
hemently that he never even thought
of perpetrating the crime until that
morning.
Prisoner Makes Confession.
After long and persistent question
ing 1T was announced at police head
quarters that the prisoner had made
partial confession, which he had
Isigned. As near as can be learned
the facts contained in the confession
are as follows:
The mans name is Leon Czolgosz
He is of Polish-German extraction.
His home is in Cleveland, where he
has seven brothers and sisters. He
is an avowed anarchist and an ardent
disciple of Emma Goldman, whose
teachings he alleges are responsible
for his attack on the president He
denies steadfastly that he is the in
strument of any body of anarchists
or the tool of any coterie of plotters.
He declares he did not even have a
confederate. His only reason for the
deed, he declares, is that he believed
the present form of government in
the United States was unjust and he
concluded that the most effective way
to remedy it was to kill the president.
These conclusions, he declares, he
reached through the teachings Of
Emma Goldman

chief 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 with
in two feet Of the president.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of geniality the American people so
we'll know, when suddenly the sharp
crack of revolver rang o@t loud and
clear above the hum of voices, the
shutting of myriads of feet and vi
brating waves of applause that ever
and anon swept here and there over
the assemblage.
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 step, while pallor be-
gan to steal over his features. The
multitude, only partially aware that
something serious had happened,
paused in surprise, while &ecks were
craned and all eyes turned as one to
the rostrum where great tragedy
was being enacted.
Assailant Borne to the Ground.
Then came commotion With
the leap of tiger three men threw
themselves forward. as with one i'm
pulse, and sped toward the would-be-
assassin. Two of the men were
United States secret service men, who
were on the lookout, and whose duty
it was to guard against just such a
calamity as had here befallen the
president and the nation The third
was bystander, a negro, who had
only an instant previously grasped
IN his dusky palm the hand of the
president AS one man the trio
hurled themselves upon the presi-
dents assailant. In a twinkling he
was borne to the ground, his weapon
was wrested from his grasp and
strong arms pinioned him down.
Then the multitude which thronged
the ediflce begun to come to real
izing scene of the awfulness of the
scene of which they had been unwill-
ing witnesses.

LEON CLOASfOSN
had stood mute and motionless as in
bewildered ignorance of the enormity
of the thing, now, with a single i'm
pulse surged forward toward the stage
of the horrid drama, while a hoarse
cry swelled up from thousand
throats and thousand men charged
forward to lay hands upon the perpe-
traitor of the dastardly crime.
For moment the confusion was
terrible. The crowd surged forward
regardless of consequences. Men
shouted and fought. women screamed
and children cried. Some of those
nearest the doors fed from the ediflce
in fear of stampede, while hun
dreds of others from the outside strug-
gled 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 tragedy SO dramatic in
y,
that few who looked on will ever be
able to give succinct account of what
really did transpire. Even those who
attended the president came out of 1t
with blanched faces, trembling limbs
and beating hearts, while their brains
throbbed with tumult of conflicting
emotions which could not be clarified
q of ha
as they really transpired
OF the multitude which witnessed
or bore 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-
flinching calmness and one voice
which retained it's even tenor and
faltered not at the most critical juno
ture.
They were the mind and hand and
the eye and the voice of President
Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assas-
sins shot he retreated step, then, as
the detectives leaped upon his assail

time removing his hat and bowling his
head in his hands.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile ad-
monishing those about him to remain
calm, telling them not to be alarmed.

secretary, "let me examine"

Details of the Crime

y - ~
Buffalo, Sept. President McKin-
ley, the idol of the American people,
the nations chief executive and the
city's guest, lies prostrated, suffering
the pangs inflicted by the bullet of
cowadly assassin
1t was few moments after p. M,
while President Mckinley was holding
a public reception in the great Temple
of Music on the Pan-American
grounds. that the cowardly attack was
made, with what success time alone
can tell.
Standing in the midst of crowds
numbering thousands, surrounded by
every evidence of good will, pressed
by motely throng of people, showered
with expressions of love and loyalty,
besieged by multitudes, eager to clasp
his hand-amid these surroundings
and with the ever recurring plaudits
of an army of sightseers ringing in his
ears, the blow of the assassin fell and
in an instant pleasure gave way to
pain, admiration to agony, folly turned
to fury and pandemonium followed.
Down at police headquarters, sur
rounded by stern faced inquisitors Of
the law, is a medium sized man Of
commonplace appearance, with his
fixed gaze directed to the floor, who
presses his lips firmly together and
listens with an air of assumed indif-
ference to the persistent stream of
questions, arguments, objurgations
and admonitions with which his cap
tors seek to induce or compel him
to talk.
1t was just after the daily organ re-
ciral in the splendid Temple of Music
that the dastardly attempt was made.
Planned with all the diabolical in
genuity and finesse of which anarchy
or nihilism are capable, the man had
carried out the work designed, and
only failed in his plans should the
president recover.
The president, though guarded by
secret service detectives, was fully ex-
posed to such an attack as occurred.
He stood at the edge of the raised
dais on which stands the pipe organ
at the east end of the magnificent
structure.
Throngs of people crowded in at the
various entrances to gaze on their en-
ecutive, perchance to clasp his hand,
and then fight their way out in the
good natured mob that every minute
swelled and multiplied at the points
of ingress and egress to the building.
The president was in a cheerful
mood and was enjoying to the full
the hearty evidence of good will which
everywhere met his gaze. On his
right stood John G. Milburn of Buffalo,
president OF the Pan-American expos1-
ton, chatting with the president and
introducing to him especially persons
Of note who approached.
Upon the presidents left stood Mr..
Cortelyou.
1t 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 Secre-
tary Cortelyou and President Milburn
