 the President

New York. September 19.-At the annual meeting of the members of the Associated Press, which was convened in this city under the bylaws, the following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted by a ris- ing vote:
 '~Whereas, The late President of the United States, William Mckinley. beloved and honored by the people of the whole country, has been murdered by the ruth less hand of an anarchist assassin, and,
 Whereas. His noble qualities and his conspicuous example as a brave, gener- ous, sympathetic and lovable man-his virtue as a citizen and officer of the re- public, his deeds as a patriot who in- spired love and sympathy between the sections, and the people of our common country. had endeared him to the whole Union; therefore, be 1t
 Resolved by the Associated Press:
 | That in common with the whole coun- try 1t deplores his tragic death as a na- tional calamity.
 9. That the sympathy of this body be expressed to his bereaved wife, who. de- prived of his loving care and comfort and of his affectionate solctude, should be- come, as long as she lives, the ward of the nation in all that can be properly done to give expression of the country's appre- ciation of her lamented husbands vir- tues and to the unspeakable sorrow with which it views his martyrdom.
 3. That we call upon the states and the nation to take prompt and emphatic leg islative steps to deal adequately with the advocates of the damnable doctrine which teaches that law ana order must be over thrown, and which. the world over, openly adopts assassination as the instrument of it's operation.
 The anarchist has no place in this country, and he should be made to under stand that he will be dealt with in the same manner as any other plague or pes- tience which threatens the public secur- ity
 4. That we felicitate the country in having met so firmly the trying ordeal of the past week in which the enduring strength and security of it's institutions have been again so strongly manifested
 That in this, as in other national ad- versity, the patriotism the loyalty and fervor of its law-abiding citizens should hold In such even balance the vast com mercial and other interests which rests upon popular conference in safe and se- cure government, is a tribute well worthy of our great people, to the government which their devotion has made the great est of the governments of the earth
