GRIEF IN ENGLAND.
Horror and Sympathy as Keen rs i

Horror and Sympathy as Keen rs if
1t Had Been Their King
London, Sept. S.-The news of the at.
tempt upon the life of President Nc
Kinley spread slowly in London. The
first ticker reports were discredited; then,
with the confirmation and the general
dissemination of the news, arose a far
reaching feeling Of sorrow and indigna-
ton which, wherever Americans were
gathered, almost gained the proportions
of panic, accompanied by feverish
anxiety for further details. The thou
sands of Americans now in London were
mostly at the theaters when the news
arrived, and returning to their hotels,
found anxious groups of Englshmen and
Am orleans discussing what, without dis
tinction of race, is regarded as a national
calamity. Comparatively few English
men heard the news last night, but all
these expressed horror and sympathy as
genuine as if 1t had been the king in
stead of the president. The latter's kind
ly personality, his friendship for Eng
land, and his kindly message of con-
dolcnce upon the occasion of Queen Vic
toria's death, were recalled, in voices as
low and awe-stricken as those of any
purely American gathering.
All the newspapers this morning pub.
lish long accounts of the attempted as
sassination Of President Mckinley. Their
editorials are unanimous in their expres-
sions of horror at tho dastardly crime and
profess the profoundest sympathy for
tho president.

W. j. BRYAN TALKS
SHOCK TO ENTIRE COUNTRY.
COUNTRY
SHOCK
Hopes the Shot Was Fired by an In
sane Man and Not for Malice
or Revenge.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 6.-Following the
receipt of the news of the attempt on the
presidents life, w. ]. Bryan sent a brief
message to President Mckinley express
ing his concern. Mr.. Bryan gave out the
following steatment:
1.-THE attempted assassination of the
president is shock to the entire country
and he and his wife are the recipients of
universal sympathy. The dispatches say
that the shot was fired by an insane man
and it is hoped that this is true, for while
it is terrible thing for president to be
the victim of the act of a maniac, it
would be even worse for him to be fired
upon by sane person prompted by
malice or revenge. In republic, where
the people elect their officials and can re-
move them, there can be no excuse for a
resort to violence. If our president were
in constant fear Of plots and conspiracies,
we would soon sink to the level Of those
nations in which force is the only weapon
Of the government and the only weapon
Of the governments enemies

Mr.. Root left on a special train fol

was deeply affected by the news, which
came to him while he was at the village.
He proceeded to his home at once, declar-
ing that he was undecided about future

the news. The secretary positively re-
fused to say anything for publication.

HANNA IN TEARS
THE SENATOR GREATLY AFFECTED
Tear. Stream Down His Face While
He Talks Of the Work of the
Assassin.

Cleveland, Sept. 6.-"My God 1t can't
be possible" cried Senator Hanna this
afternoon when dispatch was read to
him saying that President Mckinley had
been shot. 1t is terrible and 1 am too
shocked to express my feeling" he added.
The senator was Frustrated by the news
and begged that all dispatches relating to
the condition of the president be tele-
phoned to him as fast as they arrived.
When convinced that the news from
Buffalo was true, Senator Hanna said:
Il cannot say anything about 1t. 1t Is
too horrible even to contemplate, to think
that such a thing could happen to so
splendid a man as President Mckinley,
and at this time and upon such an oc-
casion. 1t is horrible. awful. Mr.. Nc
I<inley never had any fear of danger from
that source. OF course. 1 never talked to
him upon such subject, but I know he
never even dreamed of anything like this
happening. 1 cannot be interviewed upon
this. 1t is too awful"
To a reporter he exclaimed: ''What is
this great country coming to when such
men as Lincoln. Garfield and Mckinley
fall by the bullet of assassins?
II shall hurry to the bedside of the pres
tdent as rapidly as the train will take
me. I only hope that he is not seriously
injured, but I am afraid that my hopes
will be in vain. do want to reach the
president before he dies, if he is going to
die. Nobody can be safe from the work
of an insane man, it seems 1t is terri
ble"
AS the senator boarded a car, tears were
streaming down his face,

building by exposition guards where he
was held while the building was cleared
and later he was turned over to Supt,
Eull of the Buffalo police department,
who took the prisoner to No. 10 police
station and afterwards to police head
quarters. AS soon as the crowd in the
Temple of Music had been dispersed sufi-
GENTLY, the president was removed in the
automobile ambulance and taken to the
exposition hospital, where an examina-
ton was made. The best medical skill,
was summoned and within a brief period
several of Buffalo's best-known prac-
titioners were at the patients side.
The president retained the full exercise
of his faculties until placed ON the opera
ting table and subjected to an anaes-
thetic. Upon the first examination it was
ascertained that one bullet had taken eff
feet in the right breast just below the
nipple, causing comparatively harmless
wound. The other took effect in the
abdomen, about four inches below the
left nipple, four inches to the left of the
navel and about on level with it,
Upon arrival at the exposition hospital
the second bullet was probed for. The
walls Of the abdomen were opened but the
Ball Was Not Located.
The incision was hastily closed and after
hasty consultation it was decided to
remove the patient to the home Of Presi-
dent Miburn. This was done, the au-
tomobile ambulance being used for the
purpose. Arrived at the Milburn residence
all persons outside the medical attend
ants, nurses and the officials Immediately
concerned, were excluded and the task of
probing Tor the bullet which had lodged
in the abdomen was begun by DIR. Ros-
well Parke. When the news of the crime
was telephoned to the home of President
Milburn where Mrs. Mckinley was rest
ing, immediate steps were taken to spare
her the shock of premature statement
before the true condition of the president
could be ascertained. Guards were sta
proach the house.
When 1t was decided to remove the
president from the exposition hospital to
the Milburn residence. the news was
broken to Mrs. Mckinley as gently as
might be by the members of the Milburn
family. She bore the shock remarkably
well and displayed the utmost fortitudc.
While the wounded president was being
borne from the exposition to the Milburn
| residence between rows of onlookers with
barred heads. far different spectacle was
being witnessed along the route of his as
saiants journey from the scene of his
crime to police headquarters The trim
was made 30 quickly that the prisoner
Was safely Landed

aware of his presence.
Then bulletins began to appear on the
boards along Newspaper Row, and when
the announcement was nade that tho
prisoner had been taken to police head
quarters. only two blocks distant from
the newspaper section, the crowds surge1
down toward the terrace, eager for q
glimpse of the prisoner. In few min
utes the crowd had grown from tens to
hundreds and thousands until the street
was completely blocked with a mass Of
humanity. 1t was at this juncturc that
some one raised the cry Of Lynch him!"
Like flash the cry was taken up, and
the whole crowd as IL ignited by the
single match thus applied. re-echoed the
cry Lynch him! Hang him." Closer
the crowd surged forward. Denscr the
throng became as new arrivals swelled
each moment the swaying multitude
The situation was becoming critical
when suddenly the big doors were flung
open and a squad of reserves advanced
with solid front, drove back from the
curb, then across the street and gradual

the station house were District Attorney

Prisoner COnfcsscs.
He at first admitted that he was az.
anarchist i'll sympthy at least, but de-
MED strenuously that the attempt on the
life of the president was Il result of
preconcerted plot on the part of any an
archist society. At times he was defiant
and again Indifferent. But at no time
did he betray the remotest sign of re-
morse. After long and persistent ques-
tioning it was announced at police head
quarters that the prisoner had made
partial confession which he had signed.
AS near as can be learned the facts
contained in the confession are as fol.
lows:
The mans name is Leon Czolgosz. Ie
is an avowed anarchist and an ardent dis
ciple of Emma Goldman, whose teach
inSs he alleges, are responsible for the
attack on the president. He denies stead
lastly that he is the instrument Of any
body of anarchists or the tool of any
cotere of plotters. He declares he did
not have a confederate. His only reason
for the deed he declares, is that he be-
lieved the present form of government in
the United States was unjust, and he
concluded the most effective way to rem
edy it was to kill the president.
