the ocean. The area OF the country is
$500 square miles, sufficient to main
tain a population of a million people
The great lake is a remarkable sheet
of water, 125 miles long and from forty
miles to seventy-five miles wide. From
the middle of the lake the shore line
on either side is invisible. There are
number of islands in the lake, in
cluding the two volcanos, Omepetec
and Mederia, which rise to an altitude
respectively of $3.50 and 1900 feet.
North of this great lake there is an
other but smaller lake connected with
the former in times OF flood.

There is remarkable difference in
the character of the country east and

ate If the Assassin Prove to be II
Maniac.

Maniac.
LINCOLN, Neb., September 6.-Fol-
lowing the receipt of the news of the
attempt on the Presidents life, w. J.
Bryan sent a brief message to Presi-
dent Mckinley, expressing his concern.
Mr.. Bryan tonight gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"fhe attempted assassination of the
President is a shock to the entire coun-
try, and he and his wife are the recip-
tents of universal sympathy. The dis
patches say the shot was fired by an in
sane man, and 1t is hoped that this is
true, for while it Is a terrible thing for
a President to be the victim of the act
Of a maniac, it would be even worse for
him to be fired upon by a sane person,
prompted by malice or revenge. In a
republic, where the people elect their
officials and can remove them, there
can be no excuse for a resort to vic
lenee. If our President were in con-
slant fear of plots and conspiracies, We
would soon sink to the level of those
nations in which force is the only
weapon of the government and the only
weapon of the governments enemies.

PATERSON ANARCHISTS
Toast the Assnssin. and Declare
Their Sympathy-Was Not of Their


Their Sympnthy-Was Not of Their
GrOup.
NEW YORK, September 6.-As a
whole the anarchist group of Pater-
son, N. j., express no regret at the
shooting of President Mckinley. On
the contrary, there was a great gath
ering of the members tonight at Bar
tholdi hall in hat city, and Neiman,
who shot the President, was toasted
in beer time and time again.
All of the laxative members of the
group say Neiman is unknown to
them. One of them said:
We do not know him. but he is one
of us. He did what it was his duty to
do, and we honor him. while person
ally thinking his effort might better
have been employed across the ocean
upon some crowned head"
They all deny there is any truth in
the report that at any time President
Mckinley was included in the plots to
assassinate the heads of nations. They
claim that President McKinley's life
was never declared forfeited by them
and that the work of to-day is that of
another branch of their organization.
The first question asked in Paterson
when news of the shooting of the Pres
ident was received, was whether or not
the assailant was from that city. The
feeling among the citizens outside of
anarchistic circles is n of deepest in
%dignation, this being heightened by
the fact that the plot to Stay King
Humbert was Matched there. There is
much talk there tonight of atempt-
ing to devise means TO drive the an
archists out of hat city.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.

When the Board of Trade succeeded
the old Chamber of Commerce Wheel
ing saw the dawn of a new era. The
old body had the dry rot and died from
lack OF the ~broadness and progressive
ness that looks to the welfare of the
entire community, making it para
mount to any private interest or set Of
interests.
The question again is: Are we to
permit the old spirit of narrowness and
the s~elishness of a few individuals to
kill the Board of Trade and stop its
good work?
That this organization has done good
work for Wheeling there is no room for
dispute. 1t may not be perfect and
probably has made mistakes, but alto
gether its labors have been effective
and successful in lettering the material
interests Of the city-and its real work
has only begun.
, Is this now to be stopped short be-
tduct OhC vi WV III pit-
fer their own immediate gain to the
general welfare and nave undertaken
to either rule the Board of Trade or
ruin it altogether?
Without going into details this is the
bone of contention that now divides
the body. AS it stands the Board is in
q fair way to follow the old Chamber
Of Commerce if its affairs are not re-
adjusted on a different and broader
basis. And in the event of its dissolu-
ion we will drop back into the old
non-progressive rut out of which we
have SO l~aboriously dragged the wheels
of progress.
The Beard of Trade cannot be con-
Victed successfully except upon he line
the general municipal good. When
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-09-07

private interests selfshly attempt tc
control it division is inevitable and dis
solution is the mex step.
1t is not necessary to enter into the
quarrel over Secretary Thompson's
policy in certain things. That is not
the marrow of the present contention.
II it were the ~Secretary's resignation
rendered long ago would mend matters,
which 1t will not. The fault does not
lie with the officers of the Board o.
Trade, but with the members as a body.
President Laughlin has always mani
tested a commendable spirit of broad
ness, and. we believe. has looked TO the
best interests of thes city as a whole.
The fault lies elsewhere and can be
remedied only by the members Of the
Board themselves acting in harmony.
At present many are talking of resign
ing and taking no further share or in
terest in the Boards proceedings or
work. This is anything but the right
or the patriotic position to take. 1t is
to every business mans interest to re-
main in the Board of Trade, to assist in
correcting its errors and shaping its
policy, to help 1t in every way to pro-
mote the general welfare and progress.
Whatever works to this end works to
the individual advantage of every bust
ness man in the city.

THE NEWS IN CANTON.
Thousands the streets
About the Mckinley Home.

CANTON, Ohio, September 6.-The news
of the attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley spread like wildfire
throughout the city. The first news, the
Associated Press Bulletin to the Reposi-
tory, was given to Mrs. NJ. c. Barber,
Mrs. McKinley's sister. Not long after
the first reports were received, citizens be-
gan to gather in small groups in front Of
the Mckinley residence in North Market
street. Before many minutes had elapsed
a surging crowd of anxious persons gath
cred and many ventured up to the door
of the Mckinley home TO ask the attend
ants what was the latest news received.
Some Of the Presidents ~neighbors, who
reside in the vicinity, called at the resi-
dence TO ask what, if anything, had been
heard from Buffalo, as 10 how 1t happen
ed, or the Presidents condition, To all
corners, the maid who had charge of the
household in the absence Of the President,
replied that no word whatever had been
received at the Mckinley home.

SECRET SERVICE OFFICIALS
Think the Assassin Belonged to the
Haymarket Group of Anarchists.

WASHINGTON. September 1t is the
opinion of the secret service officials in
this city that the shooting of the Pres
ident Is an outcropping, in some obscure
way, of the Haymarket riots, and that it
will be found eventually that Nieman,
the would-be assassin, has some connec-
ton with the group of persons associated
in the Chicago anarchists riot. The
secret service officials are of this opinion
because of the name of the man. and the
fact hat he is probably from the same
general section of the country as some of
the Haymarket participants. The secret
service bureau had the Paterson, y. j.,
group of anarchists under surveillance
and are confident that Nieman had no
association with these people. Three Sc
cret service people were in Buffalo about
the President at the time of the shooting
and another one was on the way 10 cleve-
land. While the theory of the secret ser
vice here Is as stated, at the same time
no facts concerning the matter are at this

Kinley was received, and a telegram
was Immediately despatched to meet
him, acquainting him with the deed.
The Altona-Kiel railway was strongly
guarded by a large force of police and
it can not be doubted that this latest
anarchistic attempt will result in the
redoubling of police precautions upon
the continent, in view of the various
imperial meetings now happening. If
there had ever been a likelihood that
the Gar would go to Paris it may now
be regarded as a certainty that he will
not go. He had already decided to re-

Steps were taken to provide for
the future OF the executive branch OF
the government. 1t was rallied that
ever under the most favorable condi-
tions. the President injuries are OF
such a character as to make 1T almost
certain that he annot undertake for a
long time to discharge the duties of
Chief Executive, even in the most for
NAL way. Every member of the cab
met able to trave, is expected to speed
at once to Buffalo, and there a cabinet
council will be held to decide upon the
course to be followed by the executive
branch.
Vice President Roosevelt is under
stood to be in Vermont. this being the
information furnished by his relatives
here, and of course will hold himself
in readiness to do whatever is nece5-
sary and to meet the obligations m
posed upon the Vice President by tie
Constitution of the United States.
These are contained in paragraph b,
section /, article 2, in the following
words:
"6-In case of the removal of the
President from office, his death, reslg-
nation, or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of the said ofice,
the same shall devolve on the Vice
President, etc
Under the terms of this article, as
soon as Mr.. Roosevelt is assured of
proper authority, probably in this case,
by the senior member of the cabinet,
Secretary Hay, who will doubtfess be
in Buffalo by tomorrow evening, he
will undertake at once in a provisional
way. to discharge such duties as may
devolve on him. Much will be depend
ent upon the report of the physicians
upon the character of the Presidents
injuries as to the extent to which Mr..
Roosevelt will discharge the Preslden-
tial duties. if he undertakes them at
all. First, it is almost certain that in
the
Absence of Great Emergency
in public affairs, even If called TO as
sumo these obligations. the Vice Presi-
dent will confine himself in the exer-
else of his power to the discharge or
the most routine and indispensable
functions.
For the present the thought of a
fatal termination of the Presidents
condition Is referred to with awe-like
apprehension, and there is a hopeful,
even prayerful anticipation that there
nav be no need for meeting those
grave emergencies which would follow
a fatal termination of the tragic event.
Should the worst come, however. it is
realized that important changes in the
public affairs of the country would soon
be brought about. Whether there
would be an extra session of Congress
is open to question, but there seems no
doubt that an extra session OF the
Senate would be essential, as an incl
dent to a change of administration.
All this has been thought Of here only
in the yaguest manner, and confidence
is almost universal here, based on the
Presidents magnificent constitution,
his present excellent physical condi-
ton and the tremendous strides that
have been made since Garfield's time
in surgery that there will be no occa-
sion to resort to the constitutional
provisions made to meet the demise OF
a President in Office.

ASSASSINATION A

Not since the assassination of Presi-
lent Garfield by Guiteau, just 20 years
ago, has the nation been so stirred as
by the dastardly crime at Buffalo yes
terday.
1t is the bitter irony of fate that
President Mckinley, who has Travelled
from ocean TO ocean as any ordinary
citizen might, without guard and in
perfect security in times of greatest po-
litical excitement. when partisan feei-
ing ran high, should be laid low by an
assassin during a peaceful mission in
celebration of the commercial union of
the Americas.
In the presence of so appalling a
crime words fail. The American peo-
pie at least have the poor consola-
ton that this crime was not the work
of an American nor the result Of Amer
lean teaching. Like the assassination
ni taEsSia Aarfeld it was the work
of a lunatic or a fanatic led astray by
the monstrous doctrines of Anarchy
imbibed not on the free soil of the
United States but in monarchy-ridden
and oppressed Europe.
No man who knew aught of Amer
lean institutions could be guilty of such
a crime-a crime against the nation,
against the people.
In it's execution it was one of the
most cowardly attempts at assassina-
ton and the only consolation at this
hour is that the bullets aimed at the
life of the President may fail to do
their intended work.
