the public Of the complete trustwor,hi-

the public Of the complete trustworthy
ness Of the news sent out.
All the members Of the cabinet are.
now here except Secretaries Hay ana
Long. The former telegraphed yester-
day that he would start from New
berry to-day, probably in time 20 pc
here tonight, Secretary Lone also
telegraphed that he was coming, put
did not specify the time. The caplnet
officers feel it to be their duty to be
here in this crisis to meet any emer-t
gency. They are holding no formal
meetings, although there are some
matters Of public business which they
daily discuss informally, and the pos
sible contingencies should the prest
dent grow worse are also thoroughly
canvassed They do not believe that
there Is the most remote possibility
that Vice President Roosevelt viii pc
called upon to exercise the functions OF
chief magistrate under the disability
clause of the constitutions while the
president lives Vice President Roose-
Welt would not hear Of such q course.
Vice President Roosevelt's attend
ance At the morning service OF the
First Presbyterian church gave occa-
sion for heartfelt expression OF the
sorrow universally felt over the ealarl-
ity and the detestation Of
The Assassin's Methods.
"A fervid prayer by the pastor, Or.
Mitchell, invoked the sternest reproba-ssss
ton Of anarchy and asked that the
temples Of public life be scourged OF
men willing to temporize with the mad
ness OF anarchy.
The interest in the presidents condl-
ton was such across the Canadian
border that the Associated Press was
asked to furnish q bulletin yesterday
morning to be read in the churches IN
Quebec and Montreal and many re-
Guests of a similar character came
direct to Secretary Cortelyou from dill
ferent parts Of the United States. ne
messages of sympathy from all over
the United States, and all over the
world, in fact, have fairly overwhelmed
Secretary Cortelyou. Two more Whife
House stenographers have been sent
for, and upon their arrival some OF the
more important messages will be made
public. Almost every government in
the world has been heard from, most
Of the crowned heads of Europe send
ing personal messages. Among the lat
ter are King Edward, Emperor Will
lam, the kings OF Portugal Italy and
Sweden and the sultan of Turkey.
President Lollbet Of the republic OF
France has also cabled his sympathy
direct. Nj n 8E s5. IN
Mrs. McIxin1ey's Fortitude.
Mrs. Mckinley continues to bear up
brayely and her fortitude is regarded
as remarkable, One Of her dearest AND
closest friends, Mrs. Rand of Wash
ington, has arrived here and will prob
ably remain with her during this try
ing period.
The members Of the cabinet are do
ing everything in their power to pre-
vent the sensational exploitation OF
Czolgosz because he undoubtedly
Graves notoriety and because his fel-
low anarchists throughout the country
love it. They do not desire to place
any stone in the path of the authorl-
ties who are laboring to un.avel the
plot, IL any plot existed, and all the
minions of the government secret SER
vice will be used to aid the state au-
thorities in the prosecution of their I'm
svestigation. But by the direct request
OF Secretary Root on behalf Of his col-@
leagues, the district attorney and the.
police will not permit the prisoner to
be seen or interviewed, nor will they
discuss the methods Of the results Of
their efforts to discover the originators
or the plot. All that has leaked out
from the jail shows that the prisoner
Is vain and boastful Of his crime and
would, If given an opportunity, fill the
newspapers with columns Of his vapor-.
