spiteful than it is in the South. The

the North has no cause or grievance;
and yet its prejudice against the

it is in the South.

translations of the resolutions sent to
Secretary Hay is in part as follows:

crime, discerning in it the tendencies

ment, striving to overthrow the
cardinal principles that underlie our
constitution from which emanates the
political power of the United States,

CzoLGosz swEATED

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 8. Czolgosz,
the assailant of President Mckinley,
went through another long examina-
ton today at the hands of the police
officials, but emerged from it without
having added anything material to
their knowledge of the case. The chief
effort of the detectives was to draw
from the prisoner some admission as
to his accomplices, but he persistently
stuck to his denial that he was assist
ed in any way in the commission of
the crime Every possible device was
resorted to in the effort to obtain the
information, but the prisoner main
tanned his position and could not be
shaken.
No other arrests have been made in
connection with the case. and the local
police say that they do not anticipate
any for the present.
1t is believed that both Emma Gold
man and Julius Schwab will be detain-
ed by the police whenever they are
found. Superintendent Bull has made
a general request to the police of the
police of the country that anyone sus-
pected of completely be detained and
examined.
Not once sincehis confinement, either
in talking with his guards or when up
for examination, has he asked as 10
the fate of his victim. No plan for
the arrangement of the prisoner has
been considered by District Attorney

who came today filled with anxiety,
said tonight:
81 go back tonight because | have
the most positive assurance that the
president is going to make a rapid
recovery"
In fact, by 1880 o'clock tonight the
entire temper of everybody about the
Milburn residence seemed to have un-
dergone radical change. The police
did not stop wagons from going by
the nearest corner at high speed.
The regular army guard was not SO
particular about those who passed up
the guarded street. The newspaper
men did not maintain the quiet that
prevailed for the past three days.
Even those who cameron the mansion
where the wounded man lies stopped
on the corner to laugh and chat. From
somber foreboding the feeling has
suddenly turned to joyful confidence
that the nations ruler is to be spared.
At 1850 tonight the lights in the
mansion, except those dimly shining
in the sick room, were extinguished,
and by IL O'Clock peaceful quiet
reigned about the Milburn home. On
the dark corner opposite the house
soldiers, policemen and newspaper
men kept vigil, however, sheltered be-
meath their tents.
The $3.50 bulletin, as was promised,
was to be the last of the night, and
while it was brief, attention was called
to the fact that the pulse was exactly
the same as this morning, III, and
that the temperature was eight-tenths
of Il degree lower, highly favorable
symptoms.
Senator Hanna was the last official
caller at the house. He only stayed a
few minutes but during that time had
short interview with DR.. McBurney.
When he came out he declined to talk
further than to say; Everything is
all right and if the improvement con-
tinues | am going home tomorrow.
