Arrived at Auburn, there were 20 or
more people in waiting. There was not
much demonstration; but someone In
the crowd cried: "Give him to US;
let us murder him." Czolgosz collapsed
and had to be carried to the prison
hundred yards away. He yelled ana
shrieked in abject terror. Among oth-
er things he said: Il got an idea II was
right. Now know it was wrong; I've
done all the harm a man could. It's
no use talking, law is right and just
It was my own act. There was nooooy
hut me-" Afterward he braced up
somewhat and continued to persist tnat
he had only done his duty
The yachts Columbia and Sham
rock II had successful race last Sat

enough to carry the two boats over the
course within the time limit. They nm
ished in four and a half hours. Inc

A dispatch of Sunday from Mania
tells of a disastrous fight that haa just
taken pace between Company OF tne
Ninth infantry and an Overwhelming
body of insurgents. The company
about 70 strong, was at breakfast "heh
the attack came. The insurgents sue
ceeded in effecting surprise. The SOL
diers fought as we'll as could be expect
ed under the circumstances, but hao u
run for it, only "a members escaping.
OF those who escaped II were wounded
All of the stores and ammunition OF tile
company and all of it's rifles, except "
fell into the hands Of the insurgents.
The disaster occurred on the island OF
Samar, which comprises territory
about the size of the state of Ohio. The
territory had never been occupied by
Spain, and it has only been recently
tnat the United States forces have un-
dertaken to take charge of it. There
were less than $500 men on the island
and they were in widely scattered COM
mands. An effort will at once be made
to punish the victorious insurgents.
There is CONSERVATION at the White
House, says a Washington dispatch OF
September %: The following story
comes from a source believed to be re-
liable: Mrs. Roosevelt has announced
that she will have only white servants
about her. The only inference that
can be drawn from this is that the Ne
gro walters, coachmen, cooks and house
help must go. Several Of the colored
servants at the executive mansion have
been here through many administra-
tions. The dean Of the faculty is old
Jerry Smith, who has been in continu-
GUS service there for very nearly 80
years. He is the general factotum who
attends to everything that is not done
by the other servants. He sweeps the
floors, scrubs off the front porch emp
ties waste baskets, hoists and lowers
the flag and with truly Chesterfieldian
grace, assists visitors with their over
coasts. He was great favorite OF Gen.
Grant and often went with him as his
valet on trips around the country. Jer-
rvs antiquity with senators and repre-
sentatives will probably save him from
Mrs. Roosevelt's ruling. The new first
lady of the land has ordered a general
overhauling of the kitchen and dining
room. Her first innovation in the for
mer place is an entire new outfit of tin
ware and cooking utensils. Mrs. Roose-
Welt keeps herself we'll informed on the
market prices of provisions, and per-
sonally superintends the buying of ev-
eryting that goes upon the table.
The will of the late President Nc
Kinley was probated at Canton, Ohio,
last Friday, and upon the recommon-
dation of Mrs. Mckinley, George B.
Cortelyou and VIM. r. Day were ap-
pointed administrators with will annex
ed. The will was in the handwriting
of President Mckinley and reads as
follows: II publish the following as
my latest will and testament. hereby

loved wife. Ida S. Mckinley, bequeath

ted. and the income of any personal
property of which I may be possessed

my property, both real and personal:
To pay my mother during her life 81, 900
a year, and at her death said sum to
be paid my sister, Helen Mckinley. If
the income from property be INSULT
cient to keep my wife in great COM
fort and pay the annuity above pro-
vided, then l direct that such of my
property be sold so as to make a sum
adequate for both purposes. Whatever
property remains at the death of my
wife, 1 give to my Jrother and sisters,
share and share alike. My chief con-
cern Is that my wife from my estate
shall have all she requires for her COM
fort and pleasure. and that my mother
shall be provided with whatever money
