seems to be a disposition on the part
Of the police to abandon the theory
that Czolgosz was preceded in the
lineup to the president by an accom-
plice who shielded him from view, and
to proceed on the theory that while
the plot was outlined by others Czol-
gosz alone executed it. The prisoner
was confronted by several witnesses
at the Office of the superintendent of
police, but except in the case of Wal
ter Nowak, who knew the prisoner in
Cleveland, nothing was learned as to
the developments of the conference.
The prisoner lost much of his self pos
session during his visit to the Office Of
the superintendent of police and one
of the officers who guarded him said
afterward that he lapsed into a pre-
occupied state of mind and appeared
rather daZed. While he was in the
room of the police superintendent his
revolver was brought in and handed
to the superintendent by Captain
Wiser, -r*,t3

the president was removed in the au-
tomobile ambulance and taken to the
exposition hospital, where an exam
ination was made. The best medical
skill was summoned and within a
brief period several of Buffalo's best
known practitioners were at the pa
TENTS side.
+ Upon the first examination it was
ascertained that one bullet had taken
effect in the right breast just below
the nipple, causing comparatively
harmless wound. The other took eff.
feet in the abdomen, about four inches
to the left of the navel and about on
level with it. ...<:.. s..s.-..,a.-

EXAMINATION OF cZOLGosZ.
Insists He Alone Planned and Carried
Out Attack on President.

InSlSts ne Alone FIanneo ana carried
Out Attack on President.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.-Czolgosz has
made no additional admissions to the
police officials and nothing that they
have learned from him aided toward
solution of the criminal side of the
case. He still insists that he alone
conceived, planned and carried out the
crime and that he alone must answer
for it. He admits that he attended
meetings at which Emma Goldman
spoke, and where he and his fellow
anarchists discussed their propaganda
OF murder, but steadfastly denies that
any of them had a part in his plan.
His talks with them were fairly gen
eral, he says, and he did not divulge
to them any feature of his scheme to
come here and kill the president. His
Saturday created the impression that
he acknowledged a general talk with
his associates on this particular crime,
but he now says there was no occasion
for that impression. He is to be SUBJ
jected to another cross-examination by
District Attorney Penny, but the re-
suits are problematical. The stories
that the prisoner is wearing out phys
ically and mentally under the strain
OF his crime, imprisonment and the
ordeal of questioning are denied by
the police, who say that there is no
appreciable change in his general con-
dition. They admit that he was clever
enough to avoid admissions Of a dam
aging character on ground outside Of
his general confession.

Crucial Period Of the Presidents III.
ness About Over.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.-Secretary Hitch
cock and Senator Hanna emerged
from the Milburn house shortly after
noon. The senator appeared to be
very jubilant. He stopped a moment
before entering his automobile to ex-
press his great satisfaction at the pres
tdent's present condition.
Every bulletin is an Improvement"
said he, "and the last is the best of all.
OF course Sunday night was an anx-
ious one, but the president passed it
In safety without a change for the
worse. The crucial period probably
will extend through another day, pos
sibly longer, but every hour now is q
victory"
rs the presidents mind clear?"
"Clear as a bell." replied the sena-
tor promptly.
"Does he talk?"
"As much as he is allowed to-" he
answered smiling.
MRS. Mckinley was with the presi-
dent some little time during the morn
Ing" he added. "she is doing SPLEEN
didly."
Then, with another admonition to
the photographers to turn their bat
teries away, he and Secretary Hitch
cock climbed into the automobile and
rode away to the Buffalo club.

different spectacle was being wit
messed along the route of his assa1l-
ants journey from the scene Of his
crime to police headquarters. The
trip was made so quickly that the pris-
oner was landed safely within the
portals of the police station and the
doors closed before any one was aware
of his presence. But when the an
nouncement was made that the pris-
oner had been taken to police head
quarters the crowd surged down to-
ward the terrace eager for glimpse
Of the prisoner. At police headquar-
ters they were met by strong Gordon
of police, which was drawn up across
the pavement on Pearl street. In a
few minutes the street was complete
ly blocked with mass of humanity.
1t was at this juncture that some one
raised the cry of "Lynch him!" Like
flash the cry was taken up and the
whole crowd, as if ignited by the sin
gle match thus applied, re-echoed the
cry,
"Lynch Him! Hang Him!"
Closer the crowd surged forward.
Denser the throng became as new ar
rivals swelleA each moment the sway
ing multitude. The situation was be-
coming critical, when suddenly the
big doors were swung open and
squad of reserves advanced with solid
front, drove them back from the curb,
then across the street and gradually
succeeded in dispensing them from
about the entrance to the station. The
crowd was so great that it became
necessary to rope off the entire street
in front of police headquarters.
Inside the stationhouse were num-
ber of officials. The prisoner at first
proved quite communicative, SO much
so, in fact, that little dependence
could be placed in what be said He
first gave his name as Fred Nieman,
said his home was in Detroit, but later
he said his name as Leon Czolgosz
He is of Polish-German extraction.
His home is in Cleveland. He is an
avowed anarchist and an ardent us
ciple OF Emma Goldman, whose teach
ings, he alleges, are responsible for
his attack on the president. He de-
MES steadfastly that he is the instru-
ment of any body of anarchists or the
tool of any coterie of plotters. He
declares he did not have aconfederate.
His only reason for the deed is that
he believed the present form of gov
ernment in the United States was un-
just and he concluded the most effec-
tive way to remedy it was to kill the
president.

Buffalo, Sept. 10.-President McKin-
ley's condition is so favorable that it
has dispelled almost the last shade of
doubt and apprehension and has led
those nearest him to make the most
confident predictions Of his recovery.
The official bulletins from physicians
as well as the authoritative statement
Of those in most intimate relations
with the presidential household give
certainty to the feeling that the
worst phases of the crisis are about
over.
The tone of the a. m. bulletin in
referring to the presidents somewhat

hension, but this was speedily dis
PEELED by the results of the consulta-
ton held by the doctors from to
o'clock and officially announced at the
latter hour. This disclosed marked
Improvement in the pulse and temper
ature. Aside from these pathological
features the doctors gave the cheering
information, free from all technicali-
ties Of science, that the presidents
condition was becoming more and
more satisfactory and that untoward
complications were becoming less
likely. Besides their official, signed
utterances, the doctors gave individual
expressions reinforcing the buoyant
and confident tone. They made
known, too, that the presidents mind
is clear, his mental faculties as Wig
orous as ever and that he retained his
| cheerful, happy disposition. He was
even ready to talk with the doctors,
Sut they restrained him to a consider
able extent.
These positive assurances gave to
the members of the cabinet and to the
relatives and the nearest friends of
the president feeling of confidence
little short of absolute certainty that
the president was now well on the
way to recovery.
from the Milburn house expressed this
same confident view. Among those
who called to receive the good news
and then repeat it to the many anxious
watchers, were Attorney General
Knox, Secretary Wilson, Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith, Sen
ator Hanna, Abner Mckinley, Myron
T. Herrick, Senator Fairbanks, Comp
troller Dawes and many others hold
ing the closest relations with the pres
1dent.
When Abner Mckinley came from
the house at 10:45 he repeated the
expressions Of confidence given by
those who had preceded him, but ad-
ded no new details on the situation.

INTERVIEW KEPT SECRE7
Buffalo Officials Have Long Talk
With CzoIqosz.

Buffalo, Sept. 8.-Superintendent
Bull and District Attorney Penny de-
clined to discuss their second inter-
view with Czolgosz or to indicate any
way the progress made in the police
investigation. They admit, however,
that the prisoner had talked freely of
his, crime and that he had insisted that
he alone had planned and executed it.
It is known that the attention Of the
detectives is devoted to the socialistic
circle at Cleveland to which the &C.
cused belongs, and it is regarded as
certain that every man known to have
been connected with that organization

Paris, Sept. 8-The French official
world was much affected by the news
of the attempt to assassinate Presi-
dent Mckinley. In view Of the czar's
coming visit to France there is
anxiety lest similar attempt be made
on the life of the Russian emperor
while he is the guest OF France. More
precautions have already been deter
mined upon, but the stringency of the
measures undoubtedly will be in
creased tenfold. The foreign minister,
M. Delcasse, was one of the first call
ers at the United States embassy. He
had previously cabled to Washington
an expression of sympathy, but he
said he wished to personally express
to Ambassador Porter his feelings of
profound regret and horror in behalf
of the president and ministers of the
republic.
The premier, M. Waldeck- Rousseau,
and all the cabinet ministers either
called personally at the embassy or
sent their cards.

that in all probability we would not
see him again."
Regarding the shooting of the presi.
dent, Mrs. Czolgosz said:
Il can't believe that Leon is the one,
he was such timid boy, so afraid of
everything. Why, he was the biggest
coward you ever saw in your life."'
She also emphatically disclaims that
the boy ever displayed any anarchistic
tendencies whatever. He was an ad-
mlrer of his brother, the Philippine
soldier, and liked his country, never
showing the least sign of discomfort.

the citizen Is right In protesting against
the encumbrance OF the front OF his prem
ises with pole, whatever Its dimensions
and condition. The time for poles has
passed. This Is the day of coniuits. II
the law will not permit the construction Of
conduits the law should be changed II
the funds in hand will not warrant this ex-
pensive mode of construction more funds
should be appropriated. The District has
succeeded admirably in abolishing the poles
and overhead wires. It's own government
should not now long continue to enjoy the
privilege which it has wisely denied to pri-
vate owners and which interferes with the
full enjoyment by citizens of their own
privileges. That Georgetown pole should
stand as a token of determined effort
next winter to secure legislation which will
straighten out all this complicated conduit
and pole question and provide at one
stroke for elastic underground system
sufficient for the needs of the future.

The action of the Union League of Bal
timore last night in unanimously expelling
Senator Wellington from that organization
because Of his remarks upon the wounding
Of the President was precisely In line with
tn, American wish and expectation. 1t af-
fords an example which the Senate of the
United States might profitably consider.
Mr.. Wellington has lost the respect of the
people of his own state and never enjoyed
the confidence Of those of any other COM
monwealth. He has read himself out of
his party. has oauselessly sought to quar-
rel with the President has obstructed legis-
lation in many lines, has added nothing to
the Senate. but has taken from 1t a portion
Of the dignity and prestige Of It's debates He
has now offended grossly against the pa
triotism OF the people by expressing his
impudent indifference to the outcome OF
the Presidents wounds. His treatment In

President in a personal way. They ap-
proach him only for the purpose of paying
their respects to him, and Of manifesting
and democratic institutions.
The Tribune would not be of the number,
but there are newspapers which would
seize this action If all the hand-to-hand
meetings between the President and the
people were abolished and employ it lus-
tily for partisan purposes. They are now
urging it, but they would speedily whip
around upon temptation and descend
in double leads clear across the page In
denunciation of the change which had shut
out the people from the President and given
greedy politicians and bigwigs a monopoly
of the approaches to him. They would loud
ly demand a return to the days when the
chief magistrate was not prisoner in the
= hite House. Imperialism? Heavens!
They would represent him as copying both
the fears and the manners of a czar.
Mr.. Mckinley Is quoted as having always
enjoyed his public receptions above all
other functions in which as President he
participated This taste is in keeping with
his temperament. man of the people.
without friIls or ostentation Of any kind,
he Is able to understand the peoples in
terest in him as their chief magistrate and
1t has given him pleasure to meet them
face to face whenever convenient; and
nothing Is more likely that when he re-
turns to his post here he will continue to
give his hand to all who cali on the recep-
ton days.
