crowd back from the curb, then across
the street, and gradually succeeded in
dispensing them from about the en-
trance To the station.

telephoned to the home of President
Milburn, where Mrs. Mckinley was
resting, immediate steps were taken to

statement of the occur renee before the
true condition of the president had
been ascertained. Guards were sta
toned, and none were permitted to
approach the house.
When 1t was decided to move the
president from the Exposition hospital
to the Milburn residence, the news was
broken to Mrs. Mckinley as gently as
could be. She bore the shock remark
ably well, and displayed the utmost
fortitude.

from his side the bullet which had
struck the breast bone and glanced,

The Presidents assailant, in the

where he was held while the building
was cleared. and later he was turned
over to Superintendent Bull of the

the prisoner to No. 13 police station,
and afterward to police headquarters.
The news of the attempted assassin

distant from the newspaper section,
the crowds surged down toward the

Socialists Vote Down Resolutions of Regret
for Attempted ASSASSINATION.

Two thousand mem bers of the Social
lists voted down a resolution of regret
for the attempted assassination of the
president at a meeting in Riverside.
Chicago, Sunday. The argument of
those opposed to the resolution was
that Mckinley is the representative of
the capitalist class and that his safety
or danger are matters of no concern to
Socialists. The resolution was designed
to counteraet the tendency to place So
eialists and anarchists in the same class.

ON PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION GROUNDS

The crowds that moment before
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 hoarse
cry welled up from thousand throats
and thousand men charged forward
to lay hands upon the perpetrator of
the crime.
For the 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 fled from the edifice
in fear of stampede while hundreds
of others from the outside struggled
blindly forward in the effort to pene-

of the multitude which witnes ,ed 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 unfiinching
calmness and one voice which retained
its even tenor and faltered not at the
most critical juncture. They were the
mind and hand and the eve and the
voice of President Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assassin s
shot he retreated a step. Then, as the
detectives leaped upon his assailant,
he turned, walked steadily to chair
and seated himself, at the same time
removing his hat and bowing his head
in his hands.

CHINA APOLOGIES TO GERMANY.
Prince Chun Received by Emperor willian
in Chilly Manner.

In emily Manner,
Emperor Williams reception of the
Chinese mission of expiation headed by
Prince Chun, which took place We'd
nesday at Potsdam, was marked with
all the severity consistant with an au-'
dience nominally friendly. The Chi
nese imperial envoy, on entering the
palace was not accorded salute by
the garde du corps. The emperor re-
ceived him seated. The buttons and
epaulettes of his majesty's white uni
form were enveloped in crepe.
Prince Chun bowed thrice on enter
ing and leaving. Emperor William
remained seated during the reading Of
the Chinese address. Afterward, how-i
ever, he relaxed his stern demeanor
and welcomed the envoy courteously
and subsequently,, accompanied by
his adjutant, he called on Prince
Chun at the orangery. Later In the
evening the emperor, Prince Chun
and dozen members Of the expiatory
mission took tea on an island in the
Spree.
The emperor had evidently arranged
the entire ceremony with view of i'm
pressing Prince Chun with the feeling
that the ceremony meant expiation
Tor toul crime and that only through
expiation had Prince Chun acquired the
right to be treated with princely hon
ors' Not until after the ceremony did
the atmosphere change. Then, the
troops outside having saluted and the
band having played, Hussars escorted
Prince Chun back to the Orangery.
Phince Chun, in delivering the
message of the Chinese emperor said.
am in position to assure your
majesty that the emperor, my most
gracious master, stood aloof from these
complications which brought mis-
fortune upon China and loss and care
upon Germany. Nevertheless, in ac-
cordance with the customs of tbous-
ands of years, the emperor Of China
has taken the blame on his own sacred
person. have, therefore, the task of
expressing to your majesty the most
cordial feeling of the emperor, my il
lustrious master, toward your i'm perial |
majesty and the whole imperial
family | hope the passing cloud
Will only intensity the succeeding
sunshine and mutual friendship of
the two great empires when they
understand the value of each other
