FROM THE
BEDSIDE

BUFFALO, Sept. This has been
a day OF excitement. The Pan Aneri-
can has been virtually forgotten and
Is neglected. The center of interest
is the beautiful Delaware res
idence of Milburn's where the
president of the United States lies
surrounded by eminent physicisn.;
and attended by his loving wife who
has summoned renewed courage at
this momentous time. The presi-
dent at a few minutes of o'clock is
resting quietly. His condition is
very grave. During the last three
hours his temperature has risen and
the d' ctors are watching him with
eyes of vigilance. Everything that
skill, tenderness and love can do is
being done for President Mckinley
and the feeling is one of hope. The
physit las. however, admit his con-
dition is quite grave and are troubled
over the lost bullet which cannot be
located. 1t may and may not be In
a dangerous position. Tonight they
will again try to locate it and remove
it
kilograms from all over the world
are pouring into this city principally
'hrouvb Washington channels. The
king of England, the emperor of Ger
IL any, the czar of Russia and all the
other powers send cables of tender
solicitude and sympathy.
A feeling of horror at the crime is
manifested throughout the world
There is general execration for the as
sassin but the feeling is too deep for
one of revenge against the miserable
creature.
AT IL O'Clock today the police put
Czologosz in the sweat box and with
the aid of two men who knew him at
one time found out much of interest
concerning him.
The wretch seemed proud of the
sensation he has created and proud OF
| the work he has done. He appears
to be man under the ordinary intel
| ligence and 1t is thought he could
hardly have planned the shooting un-
aided.
During the examination today Wal
ter Nowaak, a cigar maker, formerly
of Cleveland, was taken into the room
where Czolgosz was. After glancing
at the prisoner Nowaak said; Yes.

After this had been stated, Czog-
