Felon,s Cell.
[Council Bluffs Nonpareil.]

Seated on the low bed of his cell in
the city jail DR.. c. II. Hunt, who with
his wife, is charged with setting fire to
the house they occupied on Williams
street, slowly told the story of his fall
from wealth and prosperity to poverty
and felon's cell.
The doctor is well past middle age.
He is somewhat bald, his mustache is
black and the lids hang heavy over
blue eyes that are not clear. OF swarthy
complexion, heavy mouth, slight of
frame and short of stature, he does not
look rugged, yet he states he never had
sick day.
His chin rested on his breast, and as
the words came slowly he nodded his
head III unison, when hs. wished to en-
phasize d statement. A ccb pipe. which

FOR GENERAL RESUMPTION.

NEW YORK, September ct is under
stood that 1t is highly improbable that the
United States Steel Corporation will take
any cognlzance of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION executive board at Pittsburg
to-day. whatever the conclusion may be.
1t was learned to-day from an authorita-
tive source that the time named in the
tentative agreement reached by the con-
ference here on Wednesday had expired.
and that the steel corporation had decided
to participate in no further peace discus
sions and that there would be an imme-
date move for the general resumption of
work with non-union men and such strik-
ers as were willing to return to their
places The resumption at Demmler was
instanced as the first move in its opera
tions, irrespective of the A~malgamated
Association.
Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. said to-day that
the work of Cancellation la come to an
end, Asked whether the board would
again act in the capacity of peace maker,
MIR. Gompers replied: IF called upon
again we will be glad to act. Personally
l will always be glad to use my best eff
forts for Industrial peace in the interests
OF the laboring man. As a laboring man
myself, as president of the A. L. of b., as
II member of the Cancellation board of the
National Civic Federation, as a citizen
and as a man l certainly will do all in my
power to bring about peace between the
w-orkingman and his employer"
Mr.. Gompers said that President Mitch
ell, of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, had gone into the hard coal region of
Pennsylvania in connection with the work
of his organization, devoting particular
attention to Hazleton. Mr.. Gompers said
that he would stay in New York to-day
and tomorrow, but how much longer he
could not say.

GOVERNOR NASH.

OF Ohio, sends a Urging
a Good Fight for Life md Ex-
pressing the states sympathy.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, September O.
The news of the attempt to assassinate
President Mckinley was received with
profound sorrow and anxiety in the
capital of his native States.
Governor Nash sent the following
telegram:
ITO the President, Care of John M.
Milburn, Buffalo, N. Y:
MY Office is filled with anxious, low
ing inquirers after your condition.
Every ear in Ohio is turned toward
Buffalo, eager to catch the first word
of hope. Every heart beats with the
inspiration that you will speedily re-
cover. Every fervent prayer which
goes up TO Heaven tonight will be in
your behalf. Make a good fight, for
all the people are with you and love
you.
(Signed) GEORGE X. NASH"

CLEVELAND, O., September O.
MY God, 1t can't be possible cried
Senator Hanna this afternoon when
the Associated Press dispatch was read
to him saying that President Mckinley
had been shot. ''It Is terrible, n l
am too shocked to express my feel
ings," he added. The Senator was
Frustrated by the news and begged
that all dispatches relating to the con-
dition Of the President be telephoned
to him as fast as they arrived.
When convinced that the news from
Buffalo was true, Senator Hanna said:
Il cannot say anything about it. 1t
is too horrible to even contemplate, to
think that such a thing could happen
to so splendid a man as Mckinley, and
at this time and upon such an occa-
sion. 1t liz horrible, awful.
Mckinley never had any fear Of
danger from that source. OF course 1
never talked to him upon such a sub
ject, but ! know he never even dreamed
of anything like this happening. l
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 bullets of as
sassins?
81 shall hurry to the bedside of the
President as rapidly as the train will
take me. / only hope that he is not
seriously injured, but | am afraid that
my hopes will be in vain. I 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 terrible"
AS the Senator boarded a car tears
were streaming down his face.

DEMMLER PLANT STARTED.
Six of the Fifteen Mills Said 10 Hav
Renn pnf Indn Annrntion -

Six of the Fifteen Wills Said TO Have
Been Put Into Operation.
PITTSBURG, Pa, September 1.-THE
Demmler tin plate works resumed OPP
erations at eight o'clock this morn
ing. Six mills out of fifteen were start
ed, with nearly 100 men, many of them
being old employees. There was no dis
order and but few strikers were about
the premises when the mill opened.
The deputy sheriffs we're on duty, but
there was nothing for them to do, as
only a few strikers were about the
premises. Twenty-one men we're taken
into the works by boat from Duquesne
and thirty-three went through the
gates. On account of the heavy fog
the strikers pickets, who lined the
river banks, were unable to see the
boat until the men had been landed.
Manager Lauck stated he had ffty-four
men in the hot mill department, and
by night he expects one hundred men
at work, every one of them old men.
Two more mills, he said, would be
started this afternoon.
Five hundred more men were at
work at the National Tube Company's
plant at McKeesport this morning,
making 1000 men now in the plant.
A large number of others applied for
work, but they were turned back, be-
cause the mill was not in shape to take
any more men on. There was no at
tempt made by the strikers to stop the
men as they went to work, and the
management claims by next week the
entire establishment will be in opera
tion and the strike a thing of the past.
The situation at the plants in Pittsburg
was not greatly changed to-day.
Twenty more men went to work at
the Pennsylvania tube works and over
200 men are now at work. A meeting
Of the former employees, who are still
out, has been arranged for tomorrow
afternoon at Morehead's Hall, when
Manager Latshaw will have a confer
ence with the men. At the Star tin
plate plant, it is claimed there is now

SIR THOMAS Upton

NEW YORK, September 6.-Sir
Thomas Upton tonight, ON board his
steam yacht Erin, said, referring to the
shooting of the President:
Il was stunned On receiving the news.
| could feel no worse If 1t had been
King Edward himsel, who had been
shot. l am sure that every Britisher
extends the hand of sympathy to all
Americans in this sad affair. l should
very deeply regret that any serious re-
suits should follow this sad calamity"
Asked if the PRESIDENT should die,
would that have any effect on the inter-
national yacht races, Sir Thomas said in
a low voice:
He is not dead yet; l don't care to
speak of that"
Sir Thomas will not sail the Sham
rock tomorrow on account Of the Buff
falo tragedy.

ernment-A Resident of Cleveland.
BUFFALO, N. Y, September G.
Leon CzolgosZ, the accused and self
confessed assassin, has signed a con-
fession, covering six pages of foolscap,
which states that he is an anarchist
and that he became an enthusiastic
member of that body through the in
fiuence of Emma Goldman, whose writ
ings he had read and whose lectures
he had listened to. He denied having
any confederate and says he decided
on the act three days ago and bought
the revolver with which the act was
committed, in Buffalo. He has seven
brothers and sisters IN Cleveland, and
the Cleveland directory has the names
Of about that number living on Hosmer
street and Ackland avenue, which ad-
join. Some of them are butchers and
others in different trades. He is now
detained at police headquarters pend
ing the result OF the Presidents in
juries. CZolgosZ does not appear in
the least degree uneasy or penitent for
his action. He a he was induced
by his attention to Emma Goldman's
lectures and writings to decide that the
present form of government in this
country was all wrong and he thought
the best way to enf it was by killing
the President. He sho1s no sign of
insanity, but is very reticent about
much of his career. While acknow1-
edging himself an anarchist, he does
not state to what branch of the organ-
ization he belongs.

SECY. JOHN D. LONG,.

BUCKFIELD, Maine, September g.
Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the
Navy, who has been passing his vaca-
ton at the Long homestead, two miles
from this place, learned of the shooting
of President Mckinley tonight. He
was deeply affected by the news, which
came to him while he was at the viii
lage. He proceeded to his home at
once, declaring that he was undecided
about future plans on account Of the
suddenness of the news The Secre-
tary positively refused to say anything
for publication.

and arrangements are being made to
send 100 to other plants.
At noon a notice was posted at tho
Demmle works calling the attention Of
all employees to the fact that the plant
had resumed. ands requesting all VINO
wished TO return to work to report Tor
duty not later than next Monday morn
ing, or their places would be filled by
other workmen. The notice was signed
by the American Tin Plate Company.
Manager Lauck stated at that time that
he had seven mills running and had
enough to fully operate them
Later advices from McKeespert Indicate
that the statement this morning that LOCO
men were at work at the National Tube
works was not exaggerated. Between 800
and 400 men have beeh making repairs at
this plant for several days, and this num-
Der was more han doubled this morning.
As a result the plant is said TO have been
operated in part.
1t was stated In McKeesport that the
strikers seemed to feel that their fight
was lost, though they would continue
their picket duty and endeavor to induce
the men not to return to the mill.
At the Painter works, In this city. the
management announced to-day hat 1t
had enough men to run double turn and
five mills would be put on al night next
week.
Rumors were current on the South Side
to-day that the Monongahela Tin Plate
works would be started in Il few days. A
wagonload OF cots was said to have been
taken to the works last night, and sleep
ing and eating quarters were being erect
ed in the mill. for the use of the imported
men to be brought here to break the
strike.

SENATOR CULLOM.

CHICAGO, September 6.-United
States Senator Cullom, who was in the
city to-day, was greatly affected when
he heard the news:
Il can hardly believe the announce
ment," he said after a time. THAT
was a dastardly attack, and the man
who committed the act should have
been punished right there. 1t is the
most horrible crime Imaginable. The
nation could hardly afford to lose
President Mckinley and it would be
awful to see a man of so many admir-
able qualities cut down thus at the
height of his career. He is a great
man and a great President. He is
nearer to the hearts of the great body
of the people than any other ruler
since Lincoln"
