at Gufey's Hollow, Pa.

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 in
formal way they have naturally talked
over the danger from those advocates of
the destruction of all governments and
the advisabiity 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, is evl-
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 ne undoubtedly Graves notoriety, and
because his fellow-Anarchists throughout
the country love it. They do not desire to

torney and the police will not permit the
prisoner TO be seen or interviewed, nor will

Jail shows that the prisoner is vain and
boastful of his crime and would, if given

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
jures.

here. He is said to have arrived here
within an hour after Czogocz's 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

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 pair of brass knuckles on him,
and that was an offense we held him
