THE STORM FLOWER.

ghe came with the night and storm.
Loud roared the angry sea.
The north wind shouted a tale Of wreck,
But thought it sang to me.
The wildly whirling snow
l thought it was summer bloom.
thought birds sang, that laughing skies
Frightened my narrow room.
! saw a vision fair
My life as it was to be
And l crayed the happiness, pure and sweet,
That the yelled years held for me.
But my flower Of the night and storm
Withered before the dawn
And black despair and grief and pain
Came with the white yelled morn.
o night and storm and dark
o wailing windi o seal
Why did you bring SO sweet gift
To take it so soon from meY
You hold her in your keep,
For she comes with the storm again.
Nay; it is not the Whispering snow
That sings at my window pane.

Buffalo, Sept. 9.-Senator Hanna distributed
more sunshine interest coupons to-day, and the
people rose up and called him blessed His
ewes twinkled as he met a Tribune
spondent who asked how things were getting
along inside the house.
Just glorious my boy" said he. Just glori-
Gus! The President is doing splendidly- Why,
he'll be asking for cigar next. He wants &c
talk and does so whenever the doctors let him.
He keeps track Of everything going on in the
room, and this morning, when he was tired OF
lying in one position, he asked IL he could
change it, The doctors said yes. and then the
President shifted his position by his own ef-
fort without apparent difficulty or pain. l
regard this as one Of the clearest manifestations
of strength and reserve vitality he has given
How is Mrs Mckinley" the Senator was
asked.
Very well, indeed She had quite long visit
alone with the President this morning
The camera brigade improved the opportunity
to shoot the Senator and the clicking OF the
changing plates attracted Mr.. Hanna's atten-
ton.
Say, who's in charge Of this battery?" he
asked II don't object to being shot once or
twice, but I don't think it's just right to pour
volleys in this way"
Shortly before Mr.. Hanna reached the Miburn
house Colonel Myron T. Herrick. of Cleveland,
a personal friend of the President called there.
Every one in the house is feeling delighted
over the prospects," said Colonel Herrick- "The
President is in excellent spirits, and conse
uuently every one in the house is happy. Why,
the President asked for q morning paper this
morning. but of course 1t was not given TO him.
But you know" he added, its a mighty good
sign when sick man begins to look all around
and wants things"
Does he speak about his wounds, Colonel
Herrick was asked.
4.FIe believes he will recover" said Mr. Her
rick. HE is very cheerful. and besides he has
talked briefly about what he intends to do in
the future. He has not yet seen any one but the
doctors the nurses, Mrs. Mckinley and Secre-
tary Cortelyou II would be all right, the doc
tors say. for him to few persons, but they
prefer not to disturb him in the slightest de-
gree An hour two ago. continued Colonel
Herrick "the President was speaking of the
possibility OF being assassinated, and he said
that at public functions 1t was hard to guard
against
Did he ever express any fear that he would
be attacked?' was asked.
'I don't know that he did" said Colonel Her
rick, but have thought of ii often enough
myself 1t is great tribute to the people that
they did everything perfectly. There could
have been no improvement in any way of the
of the President in the arrangements
for insuring quiet and absolute comfort If the
shooting had been expected, nothing more could
have been done. The people of Buffalo have
done wonders. and every one knows and APP
preciates it."

ALLEGED MKINLEY PLOT.
FRUSTRATED ATTEMPT IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

Lockport, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Good authorities
here are responsible for the statement that
Senator Ellsworth has at last given out the
facts concerning the previous plot against the
life Of President Mckinley. The following is the
story obtained by the Tribune correspondent:
The plot was matured in Paterson. N. j., three
months ago. and Emma Goldman, Luis Bern
stein and other prominent anarchists are said
to have been concerned in it. Michaelo Anutzi,
a young tailor residing in New-York, was dele
gated to do the deed.
He Immediately started for San Francisco
where he expected to meet President Mckinley,
who then his Western tour. He made
the acquaintance of young man there who pro-
fessed to believe in the same doctrine and who
was accepted by AnutZi as brother.
In an inadvertent moment he told this brother
of his mission in San Francisco and was
promptly arrested, the brother proving to be a
Secret Service Detective. Owing to the condi-
tion of Mrs. Mckinley at that time, the matter
was hushed up. the culprit being charged with
vagrancy. He was sent to the San Francisco
workhouse to serve out a sentence of nine
months.

Buffalo, Sept. 9.--CzolgosZ, the would-be- as
sassin is sane and in good health That is the
decision arrived at tonight by Drs Floyd s.
Gregg and Joseph Fowler. insanity experts. who
gave the prisoner an examination in his cell.
They We're with him forty minutes and gave
Czolgosz a thorough going over. They found ab-
solutey no indication of insanity. Their official
report will be made to District Attorney Penney
and Secretary Root tomorrow. What Czolgosz
told them was not made public tonight The
doctors had little trouble in getting answers to
all of their questions
Superintendent Bull and District Attorney
Penney had another talk with the prisoner this
afternoon. When Mr.. Penney was seen by
Tribune reporter afterward he said:
General Bull and myself are taking up the
evidence against the prisoner fast find

morning paper that there is possibility OF
constructing an assault Czolgoszs resistance
to the officers when he was arrested. Czolgosz
assaulted the President. bat he did not assault
the officers who overpowered and arrested him.
1t is absurd to construe the Penal Code in any
such manner. What after is facts
When get the necessary facts it will not be
difficult to find the law bearing on them.
Czolgosz had time to assault any but
the President. He no sooner had done that
than he was himself assaulted, justifiably, of
course. There is no likelihood of Czolgosz be-
ing indicted for assaulting each of the six men
who helped to arrest him.
With reference the two shots fired being
two distinct assaults, l cannot speak advisedy
just 1 doubt if there is any precedent for
il. Men sometimes are indicted for robbery and
larceny for one and the same crime. The Hay
market bomb throwing is cited as giving
warrant for proceedings against all who in any
way, whether by Seditious infiamma tory
writings otherwise, influenced Czolgosz to
commit his crime. The Spies case has no bear
ing this case, for the that the Spies

been in the Federal courts il might be material
One of District Attorney Penneys assistants

which Czolgosz earn by good behavior said
The Penal Code allows communication for good
behavior follows: First year, two months
