TROUBLE FEARED AT VICTOR

Tomorrow morning the Daily. Press.

publish editorially:
Five masked men Monday night
made most brutal and cowardly at
tack upon two men employed at the
Economic mill, ]. Il. Swanney and A.
+. HaZeltine. These two men We're
not only beaten into insensibility, but
one of them asserts that he was robbed

"Some enemy of organized labor
started the report that the diabolical
outrage was committed by union men
to drive non-union men into the unions
or out of the camp, and this villain
Gus report has been whispered all
over the district. Had any believer
in this infamous libel been in the
Daily Press office yesterday and heard
the prominent union men of the dis
trict denounce the outrage in unmeas-
ured terms he would have quickly
altered his opinion.
1T seems ridiculous for the official
! organ of organized labor to have to
deny such an infamous report, but it
is n duty demanded in behalf of the
principles and the good name of every
union man in the district. Our worst
enemy could concoct no more devilish
scheme to defeat the aims of organ
lied labor and drive people from their
ranks or drive away public confidence
than by the dastardly outrage upon
these two men. The union leaders
are trying to organize the district to
get every working man identified with
some union. They are succeeding be-
yond their fondest hopes. The miners
are coming in by hundreds. But an
outrage of this sort, If it could be
| truthfully laid at union doors, would
destroy the fruits of their labors.
would drive decent men away from

that but it would deprive organized
labor of the support and good will

EMMA GOLDMAN UNDER
ARREST AT CHICAGO

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Emma Goldman
the anarchist agitator under whose red
banner Leon CZolgosZ claims he stands
whose words he claims fired his heart
ana his brain to attempt the assassina-
tion of the President, was arrested
here shortly before noon today.
She disclaimed all but the slightest
acquaintance with the Presidents as
sailant; she denied absolutely that she
or any anarchist she knew was impli-
Gated in any plot to kill the President.
She said she believed Czolgosz acted
entirely on his own responsibility and
that he never claimed TO have been in
spired by her, as he is quoted as af-
tirming.
The President. she averred with n
yawn, was an insignificant being to
her-a mere human atom whose life
or death We're matters of supreme in
difference TO her or to any anarchist.
Czolgosz's act was foolish Yet, she
declared, 1t probably had Its inspra-
tion in the misery which the Pole had
seen about him. Violence. she said,

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 9.-(New York
Herald Special.)-F two sources,
each of which is unimpeachable,
1t is learned tonight that the po-
lice of the United States are nearly
ready to draw the dragnet and capture
a host of anarchists, all of whom are
believed to be concerned in the plot to
murder President Mckinley and other
representatives of the government.
Emma Goldman is believed to be the
leader of the conspiracy. She was here
in Buffalo the day before Mr.. Mckinley
arrived. The police of this city to-day
questioned relative of hers, from
whom much information of value was
obtained.
The Goldman woman's arrest, 1t Is
said, will occur within n few hours, If
indeed it has not already been effected.
Walter NOwak, n Pole, and n friend
of Leon Czolgosz, was placed under ar
rest this morning and an attempt made
to keep his arrest secret. No charge
has been made against him yet, but he
will be called upon to tell what he
knows of the would-be assassin Of Mr..
Mckinley, also to explain some mys-
terious dOings of his own.
Three men, all of them Poles, came
together to this city under mysterious
and peculiar circumstances. Although
they had never met before, each asked
for the other two. Still n fourth Pole.
n man known to be an anarchist, and
who knew Czolgosz in Cleveland, was
in Buffalo two days before Mr.. McKin-
ley was shot. While under the influ-
ence of liquor in n Polish saloon he
made the boast that Mr.. Mckinley
would never leave Buffalo alive.
A young woman, not Emma Gold
man, but a member of the Polish col
ony, n woman of much learning and
considerable culture, is believed to be
at least indirectly connected with this
mysterious affair. United States Sc
cret service officers believe that Leon
CZolgosz was chosen by lot as the one
to assassinate Mckinley. 1t is believed

PHYSICIANS PREDICT SPEEDY
RECOVERY FOR THE PRESIDENT

Buffalo, Sept. 1O.-The corps of emf
nent surgeons and physicians in at
tendance upon the wounded president
to-day committed themselves without
reservation to the opinion that their
only the possibility of complications
threatened his life.
They did not give assurance of his
recovery collectively over their sigma
lures in an official bulletin, but they
went long way toward it individu-
. ally and separately during the day.
Each of them, with the exception of
Dr. Rixey, who did not leave the Mil
burn residence, placed himself square
ly on record, not privately to the
friends of the president. but publicly
through the agency of the press, that
the danger point had been passed and
that the president would survive the
attempt on his life.
"Of course we will all feel easier
when a week has passed." said DIR.
McBurney, the dean of the corps. I'VE
would like to see every door locked
and double locked, but the danger
from possible complications is now
very remote
The little piece of lead in the mus
cles of the back is giving the physi-
clans no concern whatever. Unless it
should prove troublesome to the pres
ident later on, he will probably carry
this grim souvenir of the anarchist
with him to the end of his days.
The doctors say that, once encysted.

Captain Charles d. Sigsbee, chief of
the office of naval intelligence, sets
forth In comprehensive way the ad-

work among foreign navies. To give
an idea of the fighting strength of the
seven principal navies of the world,
table is submitted showing the
following total tonnage of ships
built, building and to be built:
Great Britain, 1,766,S55; France,
$4,000; Russia, 552,545; United

The general land office has been in
formed Of the completion of the sale
of town lots in the town of Lawtou,

ceipts from the sale amounting to
$414,S45 making the total receipts
from the sale of town lots in the towns
of Lawton, Anadarko and Hobart

S291 per lot, was secured in Lawton.
The money accruing from the sales has

transferred to the sub-treasuries at
Chicago, New Orleans and st. Louis,
the sum of $2,11S,5OO0 At the close

was $3,4O0.000 and ut the close of bus
mess at the treasury to-day the total
was $7,950,O0O of which New Orleans
has received $2,525 900. The currency

telyou:
1.-The condition of the president is
unchanged in all important particu-

when the operation was done on
Friday last it was noted that the bullet
had carried with it a short distance
beneath the skin fragment of the
presidents coat. This foreign mate
rial was, of course, removed, but n
slight irritation of the TISSUES was
produced. the evidence of which has
appeared only tonight.
1T has been necessary on account
of this slight disturbance TO remove
few stitches and partially reopen the
skin wound. This incident cannot give
rise to other complications, but it is
communicated to the public, as the
surgeons in attendance wish to make
their bulletins entirely frank.
In consequence of this separation
of the edges of the surface wound, the
healing of the same will be delayed.

Finally the Herald is able to an
nounce that Mrs. Czolgosz, the mother

She made no attempt to see her son.

he learned of her presence here, and
when District Attorney Denny asked
him If he wanted Il lawyer, Czolgosz
said:
mo; want no lawyer now. When
the time comes will be supplied with
counsel. There will be plenty of mon
ey for my defense"

strangely opportune arrival in Buffalo
and his immediate comradeship with
Czolgosz are some of the things he
must explain. was placed under arrest

day later than Czolgosz He went i'm
mediately to n boarding house in East
Buffalo, kept by John Nowak, who is,
however, no relative.
Here he inquired whether Czolgosa
had arrived. The third man was soon
on the scene and these three were in
frequent consultation. The third man
was Stutz, who was a prisoner at po-
lice headquarters four hours after the
attempt upon Mr.. McIiinley's life.
Stutz received his liberty yesterday,
but it is known that he is under shad-
ow. There are reasons to believe he
was freed for the purpose of leading
the police to his friends.
Leon Il. CZolgosZ Is now known to be
n member OF an anarchist organization
known as the Free Society,"" He first
appeared on the scene, so far as
known, on Sunday. July 18th, when he
had his first interview with Abraham
Isaaz, the recognized head of the Free
Society. The interview occurred in
Chicago, and it is believed Czolgosz
was in that city up to and including the
