the public of the complete t~rustworthi-
ness OF the news sent out.
Al the members of the cabinet are
now here except Secretaries Hay and
Long. The former teiegrapbed y~ester-
day that he would start from New
berry to-day, probably in time to be
here tonight. Secretary Long also
telegraphed that he was coming, but
did not specify the time. The cabinet
officers feel IL to be their duty to be
here in this crisis to meet any emer-
gency. They are holding no formal
meetings, although there are some
matters of public business which they
daily discuss informally. and h pos
sible contingencies should the presi-
lent grow worse are also thoroughly
car.vassed. They do not believe that
there is the most remote possibility
hat Vice President Roosevelt will be
called upon to exercise the functions or
chief magistrate undo the disability
clause of the constitution while the
president lives. Vice President Roose-
welt would not hear OF such a course.
Vice President Roosevelt's attend
ance "a the morning service OF the
First Presbyterian church gave occa-
sion for a heartfelt expression of the
sorrow universally felt over the calam-
ity and the detestation of
The AsSassin's Methods.
A fervid prayer by the pastor, DR..
Mitchell, invoked the sternest reproba-
ton of anarchy and asked that the
temples of public life be scourged OF
men willing to temporize with the mad
ness of anarchy.
The interest in the presidents condl-
ton was such across h Canadian
border that the Associated Press was
asked to furnish q bulletin yesterday
morning 70 be read in the churches in
Quevec and Montreal and many re-
quests of q similar character came
direct to Secretary Cortelyou frcm diff
ferent parts of the United States. The
messages of sympathy from all over
the United States, n all over the
world, i'm fact, have fairly overwhelmed
Secretary Cortelyou. Two more White
House stenoEraphers have been sent
for, and upon their arrival some of the
more important messages will be made
public. Almost every government in
the world has been heard from, most
of the crowned heads of Europe send
ing personal messages. Among the lat
ter are King Edward, Emperor Will
lam, the kings of Portugal. Italy and
Sweden and the sultan Of Turkey.
President Loubet of the republic of
France has also cabled his sympathy
direct.
Mrs. NcItfnIey's Fortitude.
Mrs. Mckinley continues to bear up
braveiy and her fortitude is regarded
as remarkable. One of her dearest and
closest friends, Mrs. Rand of WASH
ington, has arrived here and will prob
ably remain with her during this try
ing period.
The members of the cabinet are do
ing everything in their power to pre-
vent the sensational exploitation of
Czolgosz because he undoubtedly
Graves Eotoriety and because his fell
low anarchists throughout the country
love 1t. They do not desire to place
any stone in the path OF the authori-
ties who are laboring to un.lvel the
plot. if any plot existed. and all the
minions of the government secret SER
vice will be used TO aid the state au-
thorities in the prosecution of their in
v~estigation. But by the direct request
of Secretary ZOO on behalf of his col
leagues. the district attorney and the
police will not permit the prisoner to
be seen or interviewed, nor will they
discuss the methods of the results of
their efforts to discover the o~riginators
or the plot. All tina has leaked out
from the Jail shows that the prisoner
is vain and boastful of bis crime and
would, if given an opportunity, fill the
newspapers with columns of his vapor-
ings.
