Mir. Hay is Next in Line.

The act of succession was passed m 1886, five years after the assassination of President Garfield. and it has now become for the first time reality to the people. Secretary of State John Hay, the author of Little Brooches" l" is the designated successor to the chief executive in case of the death, re- moval, resignation or inability of the latter.
 It will be remembered that when President trarfieid was shot down. and Vice President Arthur became Presi- dent, there was no statutory or con- stitutional successor in sight, for one Congress had expired in the previous March, and the new Congress had not been convened. If an assassin had killed on the spot President Arthur, there would have been no one to call a special session of Congress, and therefore no one to take the President ial office.
 Such an interregnum is now impos- sible, for the line of succession is now vested in the Cabinet, beginning with the Secretary of State, and winding up with the Secretary of the Interior. Secretary Hay now stands next in line, and no doubt the question of sue cession w.. re considered when Pres ident Roosevelt selects his own Cabi- net, as he may. and perhaps will, do. No fault can be found in all reason with the present succession act. It keeps an administration in power that the people had sanctioned, and the Secretary of State is usually selected with more thought and judgment than the people exercise when they name a President

He Rests in Peace.

The sad pilgrimage from Buffalo to the national capital, and from the capital with its stately ceremony to the home and home town, will be ended today, and all that Is mortal of be- loved President will be placed in the soil of the State that honored him in his earlier years. and that he loved beyond measure.
 Throughout the course of the long , funeral journey, covering hundreds of miles, tens of thousands of saddened eyes looked a. the casket that con- tained the honored body, and during the week many eulogies of pen and tongue have been given to the people, the most of them relating to the man whose personal life will always be glowing example to all boys and young men.
 It is difficult to add single thought to the just praise of so admirable a man, but we cannot forbear saying before the grave is finally and forever closed that he was an American of the best type-an American who loved not one section, but all sections of the country-an American who was never ashamed to consult the people-who ever strove to keep step with them and to carry out their mandates. He never considered himself wiser than his fellow-men. And this is why per haps thousands and tens of thousands yea, millions-have followed in thought the long funeral march from the sad @scenes of the direst tragedy of recent times to the final resting place in the ola home in Ohio. A typical American has fallen, leaving to us the memory of a loving heart and brave, heroic and thoughtful soul His torn and bruised body will rest today by tie side of his little children, and this country will be the richer because it holds in precious memory the kindly acts or noble man and worthy chief magistrate.

Trial of Assassin Czolqosz.

Czolgosz has been indicted, and he is to be arraigned for trial on Monday. Lawyers have been assigned to him men of high standing in Buffalo's legal circles--and there is no reason to doubt that speedy trial will follow and perhaps the revenge of the law will not be long delsyed Criminal trials can be and should be expedited and in the case of Csolgoss it is par ticularly important that this should occur.

Knight TempIar Presidents.

Tt fs singular fact that the only two Presidents who were Knight Templars were Garfield and Mckinley" said an of- ficer of Cyrens Commandery of this city.
 "A number of Presidents belonged to the Masonic fraternity, Washington hay ing served as worshipful master of a lodge at Alexandria, but the two who fell at the hands of assassins were the only ones honored with Masonic knIghthood
 Garfield was not only Knight Tenn plar, but a Perfect Flu, fourteenth degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the southern jur- isdiction of the United States. General Albert Pike was then grand commander of the Rite, and announced Garfields s death in general orders. which were placed on file in the state department. President Mckinley never was invested with any of the Scottish Rite degrees, but he took a lively interest in Knight Templary The Templars formed a pie turesque part of the funeral pageant in Washington.
 Speaking of Presidents in connection with Masonry, Cleveland. after he had passed middle age. often expressed the wish that he had joined the order. The only secret society that he ever belonged to was the Elks."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
A Wholesome Agitation.

T am glad to know that an agitation has been started for the removal of the negro dives on the south side of Third avenue, between Nineteenth and Twen- tIeth streets; it Is a wholesome agita- tion," said a well-known citizen yester- day.
 "All that the city has to do Is to refuse to renew the licenses of the barrooms in the block referred to. Third avenue Is thoroughfare, and ladies and children are passing through 1t at all hours of the day. When they come to the block be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets they have to avoid the southside of the avenue because the sidewalk in front of the saloons and snack houses is crowded with negroes. This nuisance has been complained of for long time; but now that the Hotel Hillman has been com pleted and the new city hall will soon be finished, both in sight of this negro dive quarter, the city will doubtless be inn pelled to act. The value of real estate in Third avenue is certainly affected by the existence of thiS nuisance"

SLEEPING ABOVE THE CLOUDS.


 From Golfers Weekly.
 Mount Washington, the highest peak of the White Mountains, in New Hamp- shire, Is probably the most popular spot above the clouds in the Eastern States. In the summer months. even in Septem- Der, a hundred or more persons mount each day to the summit, 62Ss feet above sea level. The enthusiast. or one who has been in the Alps where the trolley car has not yet defaced the countenance of nature, climbs up and up. on his two feet, with a stick to help him. But the tourist. the man who is "doing" the mountains with his family, makes the ascent by rail. allowing himself to be drawn up into the sky on an inclined railway.
 Tn the region of rarefied air the tourist may sit down to as good a meal as he could get in the best hotel of thefvaIley, mile below. The inn on the top of Mount Washington is anchored with more chains and wire cables than are carried by large ship. Otherwise 1t would long ago have been blown down into Yer mont. Perhaps the visitor decides to stay overnight. When he awakes in the morn- Ing snow storm may be raging. He shivers in his golf toss. longs for an ulster. and is a prisoner, with a log fire for company. until the railway sends up It's snowplow and clears the track.
 There are fourteen mountain peaks in the United States higher than Mount Washington. But not more than one or two of these can put guest up comfort ably overnight

field in the most dastardly and COW. ardly manner. is still in the public mind. The tragedy occurred on July 2, 1881, and it was not until November 14, 1881, that Guiteau was placed on trial. He was convicted on January 25, 1882, and his execution took place on June 30, 1882. Almost a year iri- tervened between the crime and it's punishment.
 It Is to be hoped no such delay will occur at Buffalo. The miscreant gave no room for delay when he shot down the President, and there is no reason why weeks and months should be dis cused in discussing the prisoners san ity, thus gratifying his vanity and de- sire for notoriety. A quick trial with no especial privileges of publicity is desirable, and the sooner acts against the head of the nation are made trea. son to be privateiy tried the better for us all.
 They do things better in France. When President Carnot was assassin ated, the trial of the assassin was com pleted in nine days, and at the end of thirteen days more he was guillotined. Valiant, the French bomb thrower, was guillotined in less than two months after the occurrence of the crime. The methods of the French law are much better adapted to the trial of men who strike at all law and all order. Publicity is avoided, and the insanity "experI' is not invited from the four quarters of the globe to come in and exploit himself. The grandstand lawyers are toned down, and the trial moves speedily to a con- clusion with no denial to the prisoner of any essential or valuable right. He gets justice. and he gets 1t speedily. Buffalo should study French methods.

he was shot his pulse was reported at iss and his respiration at a. The pulse of a normal man is about 72 and his respira- tion from 15 to 20 a minute. His pulae never fell below loo. was most of the time 12o or more.
 Tuesday, the day when pr. McBurnev was optimistic to the point of an almost complete certainty that the President would get well. Mir. McKinley's pulse ranged from 11S to 126.
 On Thursday when Dr. McBurney left "the eonvalescent' the pulse ranged from 122 to 12S.
 On that Thursday the respiration was not given out, but it Is now known that 1t was above the normal or about 25.
 The pulse, which was the main cause of the doubt of the other surgeons, ac- cording to their statements, was explain ed by Dr. McBurney as due to the shock
 After the giving of the solid food-Dr. McBurney left before the results of 1t became known-the remaining doctors as- stunned that the high pulse was due to the food.
 Of course, 1t Is now known that pulse was the real warning of the internal con-
 
 Another fact is that there are no cases on record of a man over forty-f1ve years of age getting well of shot through the stomach. After forty-five the flesh is too old. It does not heal properly. It easily falls prey to sangrene.
 The disagreements among the doctors are all subordinate to the phase of the controversy which tends to shift the blame of the over-optimism, the utter ab- sence of caution in communicating news to the public, upon Dr. McBurney.
 The doctors are very positive and very bitter in asserting that the optimism not only misled them because of their pro found respect for his skill and knowledge. but also gave the public an impression of optimism far stronger than any of the doctors, except McBurney. felt or ex- pressed.
 One of the doctors who refused to be quoted at this stage of the controversy said tonight:
 "At the time I was disturbed by MT. McBurney's positive optimism Now as look back upon it I am at loss to understand it."
 Another doctor said:
 "Only my own desire that the best might be true, coupled with the natural dread of an appearance of wrangling among the physicians restrained me from publicly contradicting pr. McBurney's statement of Thursday morning that Mir. Mckinley would get we'll. If the ques- tion at issue had been one of treatment involving the patients health. of course, hesitation would have been impossible"
 A comparison of the official bulletins with Dr.. McBurney's interviews shows that there is far more caution in the bull letns than in the interviews.
 A comparison of Dr. McBurney's inter views with those given by the others shows that he was practically the spokes- man with the public and that when the other doctors in what they did say were cheerful and hopeful, Dr. McBurney's tone was optimistic to certainty.
 Dr. Wasdn's theory of poisoned bull let is generally regarded as ingenious rather than probable The body of ex- pert opinion here, so far as it has been obtained, Is that MT. McKinley's age suf- ficiently accounts for the gangrene.
The age-herald., 1901-09-19

A special to the New Yorw World says that the disagreement among the doctors. as foreshadowed on Saturday, broke out today It promises to be bitter and even scandalous public controversy.
 As the interviews forwarded with the dispatch show, Drs Mann. Park, Mynter and Wasdin disagree among themselves as to the surgical and medical points n the case. They agree on only one point.
 They all say that pr. McBurney of New York was directly responsible for the pub lie impression that MT. Mckinley was cer- tain to get well.
 They all say that from the first moment of his appearance in the case he was most optimistic; that, contrary to his in- variable custom in the past, he saw and talked freely with the newspaper men and gave them first optimistic and then posi- tive assurances that MT. Mckinley would get well.
 They say that 1t was at his suggestion that MT. Mckinley was given solid food on Thursday. and that he alone gave out the positive statement-it was on Thurs day just before he left-that Mir McKin- ley would certainly get we'll. /
 Dr. Mann says that this positive state- ment was to his mind such a misstate- ment that he was on the point of giving out over his own signature statement more moderate in tone and more in ac- cord with the facts of the case as he saw it.
 They all say that the official bulletins, which were hopeful but not positive in tone, fairly expressed their opinion.
 They say that they let Dr. McBurney have his way because they deferred to his established fame as one of the very great est, if not the greatest. of the surgeons of America
 Their own dtsagreements among them- selves may be summed up as follows:
 As to the track of the wound made by the second bullet, Dr. Park says that it penetrated the pancreas. The others say that 1t did not.
 AS to the cause of the gangrene pr. -Wasdin says it looks to him like poison from a poisoned bullet. The others think not.
 Dr. Park says he thinks the pancreatic fluid is responsible for the gangrene. The others deny that the pancreatic fluid es- caped from the pancreas.
 As to the extent of the gangrene. pr. Mann said that he found gangrene fin the surface of the wound made by the second bullet when he opened 1t on Tuesday and that he cut away the mortified flesh there before sewing 1t up again.
 Dr. Park says there was no gangrene found there at that time As to the cause in general. some say that 1t is a rare case. others that 1t had few extraordinary feat ures.
 Furthermore, 1t has now come out that underneath the skin where the first bull let struck and made a slight abrasion, they found at the autopsy a large patch of gangrened flesh several inches in diam eter
 Since the amazing discovery at the autopsy-discoyeries which make it cer- tain that there was not from the very be- ginning the slightest chance that Mir. Mckinley would recover-several facts have been noted in the official bulletins and are being wonderingly commented up- on. For example, these:

Roosevelt as President.

''Those persons who imagined that Roosevelt was too cratic a man to make a good President will be agreeably disap- pointed in him." said an Alabama Repub- lican.
 "No matter what his past record along cratic lines may be. he Is going to make n conservative chief executive. He has given a pledge to follow the policies of President Mckinley, and his word will ai- ways hold good. Moreover. he is well equipped by education and experience to fill the executive office in a most admir- able manner.
 ''The leaders of the money markets have faith in him as evidenced by the healthy tone of the business of the ex- changes this week. and that gives double assurance that this country Is to have continued prosperity"

LET HIM ALONE,
rom the Baltimore News

From the Baltimore News.
 Senator Wellinston's crazy conduct in regard to the attempt upon the life of the President has isolated him from all man kind. but we are inclined to think that the Union League Club has made overmuch of the incident. It would hove been better to have dropped him quietly without adopting set of resolutions pitched in SO high a key. Wellington is ITO longer q fac- tor and is scarcely even a figure in the public affairs of Maryland. The defects of his highly aggressive qualities have per- verted him. For several years he has been in such 6 highly nervous state as to give the few friends left to him the gray est concern. In the circumstances we think the best policy is to let him alone fin the solitary situation to which he has be- taken hinself. rather than to give his thoughts or utterances fictitious import ance.
