MIR. BRYAN's SORROW.

He was to have addressed a Democratic meeting tomor- row but when he heard the news from Buffalo, said he would in all probability leave Tor Lincoln tomorrow morning. While Colonel Bryan was talking his head was bowed and he appeared to be greatly detected. Oyer and over again he repeated the words, "I cannot believe his life is to end this way"
 He said: "I have already spoken of the horror with which regard the assassin's crime. l have already spoken of the high personal esteem in which I hold Mir. Aic- can add nothing to either"

Colonel Bryan, in a NOlCc that WAtkA 14tt1NACn Tett0 the following: "I most cordially commend your action in abandoning the contem- plated demonstration. We are all op- pressed by the grief which has fallen upon the nation. We have no spirit for a partisan meeting at this time. for par tisanship is swallowed up in an universal sorrow. Political controversies and the prizeS and disarpointments which attend them dNVindle into insignificance when we stand in the presence of the tragedy which seems likely to rob the nation of its chief executive. We all feel the hu- initiation that our country has suffered. and our hearts are with the lovely wo- man from whom foul and brutal assas- slnation is taking one of the most faith fM and tender of husbands. Whether the heroic struggle ends fatally. as wa now fear. or in his restoration to health. as we pray it will, you have acted wise ly."
 When Colonel Bryan ceased reading. his face was exceedingly grave. He was shown the latest Associated Press buiIe- tins. which he read carefully and with downcast head. and when he looked Wp tears stood in his eyes. In a voice that

THE CROWDS EASILY
 HANDLED BY POLICE

Around the station house at o'clock it was estimated that at least 5000 peo- pie were gathered. They were not par ticularly ugly and when the police pro- ceeded to drive them back there was lit- tie resistance.
 At o'clock they had been sent back two blocks on each side of the police sta ton and before 10 o'clock weary with waiting for definite news they had dis persed or gone to the newspaper bulletins.
 Up about the corners near the Milburn house was picturesque, but rather grue- some scene, when it Is remembered that the crowds gathered here were awaiting the Presidents death. The half dozen tents and the two big election booths made 1t look like the Midway of a fair. but the ropes stretched from corner to corner. the solemn looking police guard, the pacing soldiers and, above all, the quietness of the assembled multitude bore witness to the solemnity of the oc- casion. At intervals a carriage would drive up and then the newspaper men would move toward it.
 The Milburn house was hardly discern aable among the trees, the lights in the house having been dimmed, but at inter- vals there would come out some person who had information to bear, and then the eager crowd would surround him.

Fainter and fainter. He was sinking gradually like a child, into the eternal slumber. By 10 o'clock the pulse could not longer be felt in his extremities and they grew cold.
 THE GRIEF-STRICKEN
 AWAITED THE END.
 Below stairs the grief sticken gathering waited sadly for the end.
 All the evening those who hastened here as fast as steel and steam could carry them. continued to arrive. They oroVe up in carriages at a gallop, or were whisked up in automobiles. all in- tent upon getting here before death came. one or the last to arrive was Attorney FeheraI Knox, who reached the house at ''"O' lie was permitted to go up stairs to look for the last time upon the face Of his chief. Those in the house at this time were Secretaries Hitchcock, Wilson ana Root Senators Fairbanks, Hanna and Burrows, Judge Day and Colonel Herrick, Abner Mckinley, the Presidents s brother, and his wife; pr. and Mrs. Baer, the Presidents niece and her nus band; Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Duncan, the Presidents sisters; Mrs. Mary Barber, Mrs. McWiliiaIns, Mrs. Mckinley S | cousins; the physicians, including Dr. | McBurney, who arrived after 8 o'clock: John G. Milburn, John N. Scatcherd and Harry Hamlin, all of this city; Secretary Cortelyou and number of others. Rev. c. D. Wilson, a Methodist minister of Tonowanda, N. r.. who was the Pres ] idents pastor for three years, called at the residence to inquire whether services J were needed. but did not enter the house. FORMAL NOTICE
 APPROACHING END. At 9:37 Secretary Cortelyou, who had been much of the time with his dying chief, sent out formal notification that the President was dying. But the Pres ident fingered on. his pulse growing faint CT and fainter.
 There was no need for official bulletins after this. Those who came from the house at intervals told the same story that the President was dying and that the end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only le~ maining factor in the result. and this | gave hope only of brief postpOnement of the end. pr. Mynter thought he might last until 2 a. m pr.

AUTOPSY TO FIND
 CAUSE OF DEATH.


 Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 13-It is almost certain that an autopsy of the Presidents body will be held to deter mine the exact cause of death. This is the wish of all the surgeons and physi- clans who were in attendance.
 The peculiar action of the Presidents heart was more or less of a puzzle to them all and Dr. McBurney expressed the opinion that to the interest of science as we'll as in the interest of the govern ment and the world 1t was desirable that the exact cause of death be determined. The Presidents heart gave trouble from the beginning. but its cratic action was at first thought to be due to the shock of the wounds but when the wound had begun to progress fayorably. the heart gave more trouble and anxiety than ever. It's action became feeble and finally gave out altogether.
 The Presidents death will be due to heart exhaustion, but some of the physi- clans do not believe there was organic heart trouble. The theory of at least one of the physicians is that the original shock of the first bullet over the heart had much to do with the trouble, which caused death.

DIR. sAYLIN RIGIDLY
 EXAMINED BY CRrEE.

As a result. Dr. Saylin, who was arreRt- cd Thursday night at Twelfth Street ana Ogden Avenue: because of his suspicious dent, was taken to Chief O'Neilrg 0fEice and subjected to a rigid examination for an hour: He admitted that meeting falo on September ? and that he attended 1t. He said however, that it was not a meeting for the laying of plot, but q doubt this. They cite the way in which pr. Saylin suddenly left Buffalo, osten- sibly for Denver, on the evening the police are now convinced that there was a plot to assassinate the President. As soon as Dr. Saylin announced his pres- ence at the meeting fin Buffalo, warrants were sworn out before Justice Prendi- vile for his arrest. He was confined in the Harrison Street station and no enc was allowed to see him on any prerexr. Emma Goldman wen asked about two meeting in Buffalo Sept. 3, said that it had no significance.
 When the news reached Chicago that President Mckinley was rapidly einking and that death was close at hand, Chief O'Neill at once busied himself with the task task Of stopping r any possible demonsti a. Emma Goldman ,who CzolgUsz says fE- stigated his crime.
 DETECTIVES GUARD
 MISS EMMA GOLDMAN.
 Captain Mahoney detailed 8 dozen po- licemen to stand guard around the annex where Emma Goldman is confined. Der tectives were also assigned to the jail by Captain Colleran and an extra force of deputy sheriffs was sworn in to help guard the nine prisoners there.
 Chief O'Neill ordered all police inspect ors to keep a force of men in reserve in anticipation of trouble. Emma Goldman. while stoutly denying that she had any thing to do with the shooting of Presi- dent Mckinley, said she would have made no effort to save him.
 If I had heard Czolgosz say that he was going to shoot Mir. Mckinley would not have reported the information to the police. hate the spying police, and l do not believe in interfering with what any man thinks he has a right to do. Why should l make it my business to put a man in the hands of the police when they already secure thousands Of innocent persons every day and condemn them to Imprisonment and death? No. IT a man thinks he is called on to kill q man because he believes him tyrant, you may be sure that will not 'squeaE on him to the police"
 A bulky message for Miss Goldman containing sheet after sheet of paper printed or written in blue pencil was re- ceived by Captain Mahoney of the Har- r1son Street Police Station and by him opened by mistake. It came from citizen George Francis Ttrain and contained ex- pressiOns of sympathy and admiration for the "Chere cheyenne"

THE VITAL SPARK WAS
 CONSTANTLY TANNED

Despite the fact that vitality continued to ebb as midnight approached. no ef- forts were spared to keep the spark of life glowing. Dr. Janeway of New York City arrived at the depot at 11:4O o'clock and drove at a break-neck pace to the Milburn house. He was shown to the Presidents room at once and began an examination of the almost inanimate form.
 Secretary of the Navy Long arrived at the house at 12:06 o'clock. He had the extreme satisfaction of seeing the Pres ident alive. even though he was not con- scious of his visitors presence.
 Vice-President Roosevelt had been mo- tifed early in the day of the critical state of affairs. There was no longer a doubt in the approaching death of the President and that a complete change in the executive administration of the gov eIrment would ensue. When MT Roose- welt would take the oath of office was wholly matter of conjecture
 President Arthur took the oath at a. m. after the death of Garfield and in that case Justice Brady of New York, administered the oath. There is no re- quirement that the oath shall be admin istered by Justice of the United States Supreme Court, although that proceed ure is adopted when circumstances per- nit.

grounds, went into a state of ferment when the news of the sudden collapse of the President was announced. The ill., news of the early day had been somewhat softened by the later afternoon announce ment that there was a slight improve ment, and the authorized announcement Of his approaching dissolution came as 8 great surprise. At the Pan-American Exposition grounds 1t was announced that he was dead, and the majority ot the immense crowd turned toward the city. In the city itself the papers re- trained from any anticipation. but made 1t understood that there was no hope. It seemed but an instant when crowds formed at every corner, swarmed towards the newspaper bulletins and somebody shouted: Let's find the assassin"
 With one impulse the crowd started for the station house where Czolgosz is con- fined. Telephones were utilized and the police notified and when the crowd ar rived they found the police out in force. Superintendent Bull, anticipating trouble, called out the entire force. and in addi- tion asked Fourth Brigade headquarters to be in readiness to assist Colonel Wclch, in charge, answered by ordering two companies each from the 65th and 74th Regiments to their armories to await immediate call.

 There is little possibility that Mir Roosevelt will get here tonight. Ansley Wilcox, who entertained the Vice-Presi- dent when he was here last, said that MT Roosevelt would be here late tomor- row morning. He said that the Vice President would be unable to reach a railroad station much before 4 o'clock to- morrow morning and that would bring him here about noon tomorrow. MT Wilcox said in explanation of Mir. Roose- yelt's being so far out of touch: "The Vicc-Presdent was at all times very optimistic and when he went away was absolutely positive that the President would recover. and that the convalescelce would be rapid. He certainly never ex- pected todays sad occurrences" Shortly after midnight the Presidents breathing was barely perceptible. His pulse had practically ceased and .he ex- tremities were cold.

minutes heightened to hours, and mid night came with the President still bat tling against death.
 At this midnight hour, the Milburn house was the center of a scene as anil mated as though it were midday, al- though a solemn hush hung over the great crowd of watchers. The entire lower part of the house was aglow with lights and the many attendants, friends and relatives could be seen within, nov ing about and occasionally coming in groups to the front door way for a breath of fresh air. In the upper front | chambers. the lights were low and around on the north side where the chamber of death is located. there were ftful lights. some burning brightly and then turned low.
 Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson came from the house about midnight and paced up and down the sidewalk. All that they reported: "The night has | not come yet"
