o'clock this evening and because they
showed an absence of unfavorable cond1-
lions they were generally regarded as
very hopeful The record of pulse showed
a wide variation during the day, but
any alarm occasioned on that score was
unlimited by a statement from DR..
Rixey. the presidents physician, that MT.
McKinley's pulse under normal condl-
lions, was inclined to be erratic and that
ne was not unfavorably impressed by the
circumstances. The physicians were not
concerned as to the patients tempera-
ture. During the forenoon and well into
the afternoon 1t held at 1O2 degrees, and
three hours later it had risen to 1928, but
even at the latter point ii was not viewed
with concern. The respiration OF the
wounded president was looked upon ds
being quite satisfactory.
Vice President RooseV cit reached the
Milburn residence shortly after l O'CLOCK
today. after travelling continuously since
7 O'Clock last night, when he LETT Bur
ungton. Vt He was escorted from the
station as far as the Hotel lroquois py
a SQUAD of mounted police, and the re-
n1ainder of the way by squad of bicycle
oolice. He expressed his deep distress at
the tragedy but beyond that declined
to make any statement. He remained
at the residence about half an hour, and
then went to the nearby home of Ansley
Wilcox whose guest he will be during
his stay.
CABINET DISCUSSION.
This evening all the members of the
cabinet except Secretary Long and Sec
Rotary Hay had arrived. They came as
fast as steam and steel could carry them.
Both the secretary of state and TIN sec
rotary of the navy are expected tomor-
row. Secretary Wilson and Secretary
Root spent most of the day at the Mil
burn residence. Ali the members of the
cabinet will remain here until the re-
suit of the wound is determined. 1t Is
1,-obable that after they all arrive cab
met meeting will be held. Informally
they have discussed today the POSSIBLE
itv Of Vice President Roosevelt being
called upon to act as magistrate during
the disability of the president. But all
precedents are against such a course
while the president lives. Arthur did
not assume the reins of government until
after President Garfield's death, and the
contingency of Vice President Roosevelt
being called upon TO serve temporarily,
except in the case OF unlooked-for and
very serious foreign complications, is re-
garded as very remote.
TO INSURE QUIET.
A plan to insure absolute quiet for the
president was put In operation, and the
safeguards are now such that it will be
impossible for him to be disturbed in any
way.
Gen. Brooke, commander of the depart
ment Of the East, who came here this
morning from New York, assumed per-
sonal charge of the military. and under

city police, the soldiers roped off the
streets which intersect Delaware avenue
near the Milburn residence, and both
teams and pedestrians were kept out OF
the district. The telegraph office es-
tablished in the Milburn stable was re-
moved to a tent pitched on a lawn on
the opposite side of the avenue. An ad-
ditional tent for the use of the newspa-
Per correspondents was also placed there
The White House clerical force, which
had established an Office in the main
drawing room of the Melburn residence
was moved to the Glenny residence, which
adjoins the Milburn home, and which had
been rendered to Secretary Cortelyoa for
the purpose.
Mrs. Duncan, sister of the president,
and her son. and the Misses Barber,
nieces of the president, also left the Mil

Other members of the presidential party
who have been quartered in the Milburn
residence will temporarily withdraw to
further aid the plan of securing perfect
quiet for the wounded man. The public
shows its truest approval of the plan

CZOLGOSzS CONFESSION.
Leon CzolgCsz, the self-avowed disciple
OF Emma Goldman and the other radical
anarchist leaders. who shot President Me.
hiniey, insists that he alone is RESPONSE
ole for his crime. He saws that he talk
Gu the matter over in advance in a gen.
eyal way with his friends. but that he
WAS not advised by them and that there
vas no plot or conspiracy to take the
ne OF the president in which anyone else
mad part. He declined to furnish the
names of the men with whom he discuss
ed the crime of Friday, but the police
believe they will yet learn them and that
WAen they do they will have exposed
the anarch1stic plot of which they are
confident the prisoner was the final agent

CZolgosz was submitted to six hours of
examination and questioning at the HANGS

While he told nothing that would impli-
cate anyone else in his crime, he went
over the scene at the Temple of Music
when he shot the president again and
again, completing a confession as am
pie as the law ever exacted He even
went to the extent of illustrating to the
officers the manner in which he shot the
president and told with manifest pride
how he deceived the president and his
protectors with the bandaged hand that
held the revolver
When he was first brought before Su-
perintendent of Police Bull and District
Attorney Penney he was not DISPOSED to
talk very freely and when question was
put to him, took ample time to weigh
his answers deliberately. He mixed with
his answers some of the philosophy of
the desperate political sect to which he
belongs and seemed to be posing Later
his tongue loosened somewhat and by the
close of the afternoon he talked freely.
