Pittsburg, Sept. 9.-While the mem

THE PRESIDENTS WIFE.
Mrs. Mckinley Bears Up Bravely and
Her FOrtitude Is Regarded as
Remarkable.

Mrs. Mckinley continues to bear up
bravely, and her fortitude under the cir
cumStances is regarded as remarkable
One of her dearest and closest friends,
Mrs Rand, of Washington, has arrived
here and will probably remain with her
during this trying period.
The members of the cabinet are doing
everything in their power to prevent the
sensational exploitation of Czolgosz, be-
cause he undoubtedly Graves notoriety
and because his fellow anarchists
throughout the country love it. They
do not desire to place any stone in the
path of the authorities who are labOring
to unravel the plot, if any plot existed,
and all the machinery of the govern
ment secret service will be used to aid
the state authorities in the prosecution
Of their investigation. But by direct re-
quest of Secretary Root on behalf of his
colleagues, 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 of the plot
All that has leaked out from the Jail
shows that the prisoner is vain and boast
full Of his crime, and would, if given an
opportunity, fill the newspapers with col
umns Of his Vaporings.
Abner Mckinley, brother of the presi-
dent, reached here at 1920 a. m. He was
admitted to the house at once.

THE CABINET.
Hay and Long Are Near Their
Stricken Chief.

All of the members of the cabinet are
now here except Secretaries Hay and
Long. The former telegraphed Sunday
that he would start from Newberry Mon
day, probably in time to be here Monday
night. Secretary Long also telegraphed
that he was coming, but did not specify
the time. The cabinet officers feel it to be
their duty to be here in the crisis to meet
any emergency. They are holding no
formal meetings, although there are some
matters of public business which they
daily discuss informally, and the possible
contingencies should the president grow
worse are also thoroughly canVaSSed.
They do not believe that there is the
most remote possibility that Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be called upon to eX-
ercise the functions of chief magistrate
under the disability clause of the con-
stitution while the president lives.
Vice President Roosevelt would not
hear of such a course. Still, in the event
of grave international complications, an
emergency might occur, and the ques-
tiOn has arisen in their minds as to who
should proclaim the disability provided
for by the constitution.
The members of the cabinet are making
their headquarters at the Buffalo club.
and there their interchanges take place.
They are to remain here for the present
and the plans of departure are indefinite
and not even thought of while the presi-
dent is not entirely out of danger If he
should pass the danger point, however,
they will return at once to Washington.

he IS AN ANARCHIST.
The Assassin Denies That He Had q
Confederate in the Attempted
Murder.

Buffalo Sept. Leon Czolgosz, the self
confessed assassin, has signed a confess
sion covering six pages fOolscap, which
state that he is an anarchist and that he
became an enthusiastic member of that
body through the influence of Emma
Goldman, whose writings he had read
and whose lectures he had listened TO-.
He denies having any confederate and
says that he decided on the assassination
of the president 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 Hos
mer street and Ackland avenue, which
adjoin. Some of them are butchers and
others in different trades. CZolgosZ does
not appear in the least degree uneasy or
penitent for his action. He says he was
induced by his attention to Emma Gold
mans lectures and writings to decide
that the present form of government in
this country was all wrong and he
thought the best way to end it was by
killing the president He shows no sign
of insanity, but is very reticent about
much of his career. While acknowledge
ing himself an anarchist, he does not
state TO what branch of the organization
he belongs.
Cleveland, O.. Sept. The city direc-
tory contains the names of several per-
sons named CZolgosZ living on Hosmer
Element in the far southeast end OF the
city. The police and number Of news
paper men have gone to learn what hey
can of CzolgOsz's recent movements in
this city
CzolgosZ has a father living on a farm
about eight miles from Cleveland. He is
unmarried himself. He wears the button
and claims to be a member Of the Col
den Eagles
Chief Of Police Corner, when questioned
concerning Czolgosz, said Saturday morn
ing that he was satisfied he was a CleVe-
lander The farm of Czolgosz's father
is said to be in Warrensville, a settlement
eight miles south of Cleveland.

podermically to avoid the possibility of
irritating the walls of the stomach. The
exterior wound was dressed Sunday morn
ing and is progressing satisfactorily. All
day the members of the cabinet and 9TH
erS associated with the president and
public life came solicitously and went
away almost jubilantly all rejecting the
hopeful outlook at the Milburn house
Vice President Roosevelt received the
earlier bulletins, and after going to
church, hurried to the residence. There
he was Joined by Senator Hanna. They
came away together and gave expression
to the most confident and encouraging
sentiments. The vice president not only
shared the cheerful feeling but was ex-
tremely optimistic. Both gentlemen took
occasion to denounce in unmeasured
terms the statements gaining circula-
ton in some quarters that the doctors
were not frank in their communications
to the public. They maintained that the
presidents favorable condition was even
understated by the physicians through
motives of conservatism during the q
hour period.

public of the complete trustworthiness of
the bulletins sent out by the physicians
Senator Hanna came again in the after
noon and was seldom far removed from
the Milburn house. Secretary Root has
taken up quarters Immediately next door
ana was IN frequent consultation with
those inside. He and Secretary Gage,
Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney Cen
eral Knox called together about noon,
and indeed there was no time during the
day when some member of the cabinet
was not in the house where his stricken
chief lay. Even those most prominent in
public life did not see him, as the doctors
would not relax the ironclad rule thew
have laid down to prevent the least drain
upon his energies and vitality. Those
who came and went moved silently and
reverently, receiving the latest state
ments from the doctors and departing.

tient, struggling there beneath the watch
ful eyes or physicians and trained nurses,
showed not an unfavorable symptom.
Five times during the day the eminent
doctors and surgeons assembled for con-
sultation and each time the verdict was
unanimous that what change had oc-
Cured was for the better.
Not the slightest premonitory symp-
tom of peritOnitis appeared and the fresh
hope, borne with the morning, grew
stronger and stronger as the day ad-
vanced until toward evening the conf
dence expressed in the presidents re-
covery seemed almost too sanguine. DR..
Charles McBurney, the famous New York
surgeon who had been summoned in con-
sultation, after a thorough examination
in which he said he had found not a
single unfavOrable symptom, joined in
the last afternoon bulletin which de-
clared that the presidents condition was
satisfactory to all the physicians pres
ent. Itsis not strange, therefore, that the
vice president, the members of the cab
met and other distinguished visitors who
called, came away with lighter hearts
and buoyant tread and gave expression to
the most optimistic sentiments
The encouraging news spread over the
exposition city with great rapidity, and
thousands came in carriages, in street
cars and afOot, to learn for themselves
of the faith and confidence that existed
about The Milburn house. When a score
of newsboys darted into the crowd about

that they could suppress the shouts of
Thanksgiving that rose in their threats.
And the newspapermen, many of whom
have been at their posts for As hours con-
tiDuously, remained steadfastly through
out the day in the little white walled
tents across the street from the house
where the countrys patient lay, and
flashed the news over land and sea, and
yet despite all this optimism, the presi-
dent is by no means out of danger. Not
one of his physicians; not one of his adj
viserS who is admitted to the inner coun-
ellis, has the temerity to go so far as to
declare that he is. But If he continues
to improve for one more day the danger
of peritonitis, which is most dreaded, will
have practically disappeared.
Thus far the ball of the assassin, which
is still in the body, gives the physicians
no anxiety. But if the slightest infiam-
nation appears in the region of the lead
ii will be Immediately extracted. No
difficulty is anticipated in this regard.
All the effects of the ether which was
administered when the operation was per-
formed on the exposition grounds had
disappeared Sunday morning and the
presidents mind was perfectly clear dur
ing the time he was awake Sunday. Sun
day for the first time he enjoyed natural
sleep. Between 9 and 4 o'clock he had the
Solace of natural slumber for about four
hours, and the physicians stated unoffi-
cially that his sleep had been quiet and
reposeful," and had helped the sufferer
a great deal. Sunday also for the first
time nourishment was administered. 1t

SHORT OF FUNDS.
CoIombfa's Financial Straits Are Ex-
treme and She is Pushed to
the Last Point.

Colon, Sept. 0.-The United States
battleship Iowa arrived at Panama
Saturday.
Colon, Sept 6, via Kingston, Sept.
6 (Refused at Colon by the censor and
forwarded by steamer to Kingston) -
Colombia's financial straits are eX-
treme, and she is pushed to the last
point to obtain funds. The Colon
bian paper is now worth less than
three cents, and gold continues to
depreciate. Seventy or eighty per
cent. of the people of the country
sympathize with the revolution and
are opposed to the present govern
ment, largely, it is asserted, on ac-
count of the governments eXaction
of taxes and imposts and other vex-
atious efforts to raise money. This
financial distress, coupled with the ex-
tent of the revolution, which momen-
tarily becomes more threatening
this being especially the case in the
Venezuelan entanglement-it is as
serted, constitutes the strongest rea-
son why Colombia can not go to war
with Venezuela with any hope of sue
cess.
The future contains no promise OF
financial betterment, and the people
become daily more burdened. Forced
loans are common, and their daily re-
currence is expected. In some cases
customs receipts have been hypothe-
Gated months in advance as security
for these loans, and in other cases
no security is given. The continual
ton of such governmental impositions
increase the liberal ranks, and the
prolongation of the present situation
will, it is believed, increase the liber.
ais chances of success.
The government is holding the
army, which it is making strenuous
efforts to pay, and which, with the
official employees, seems strong enough
TO prolong the present situation, but
unable to deal the revolution a crush
ing, effective blow. Time will
strengthen the rebels position
throughout the country, but in the
isthmus district they notably lack
leaders. The government to-day owes
the 1900 troops on the isthmus $4,000
in gold in back pay.

in the Temple of music had been dis
persed sufficiently the president was re-
moved in the automobile ambulance and
taken to the exposition hospital where
an examination was made. The best
medical skill was summoned and within
brief period number of Buffalo's best
