Unconmed Report at O'clock This Afternoon Says the Pres
dent is Unconscious

The President experienced a sinking
spell soon after two o'clock this morn
ing. Restoratives to revive him were
administered at once. A general call
was sent to the physicians and to the
members of the Cabinet now in Buff
falo. The Associated Press was au-
thorized to say that the President was
critically i'll. At 8 o'clock all the ply
sicians were at his bedside, and digi-
tails was being administered to quiet
the pulse. Messengers were hurried
from the house, and it was understood
that they carried dispatches to the
absent members of the Cabinet and the
Presidents relatives. 1t was evident
to the newspaper men in waiting that
a grave and menacing crisis had come.
At $50 this morning this statement
was issued, signed by the physicians
in attendance, and by Secretary Cor
telyou: The Presidents condition is
very serious, and gives rise to the
gravest apprehension. His bowels
have moved well, but his heart does
not respond properly to stimulation
He is conscious. The skin is warm
and the pulse small, regular, easily
compressible, and 1876; respiration, 80;
temperature 100.
One despatch says: The President
is so weak that he does not apparently
suffer much. Strychnine, digitalis and
other powerful heart stimulants do
not produce effects, and the worst is
feared. His death may occur any
time from heart exhaustion. Mrs. Nc
Kinley has not yet been informed of
the change for the worse.
At 4 o'clock no word of encourage
ment had come from the Milburn
house. At 4.O2 DR.. Mann says the
President has rallied somewhat.
Drs. Mann and Mynter left the house
at 4 o'clock. The latter said: THE
President is in better condition than
he was an hour ago. We have not
given up hope. He has rallied some
what, and we are going home" DR..
Mann also said the President had raj
lied, but both physicians declined to
go into details concerning the char
acter of the heart stimulants admin
istered, or the cause of the collapse.
kilograms have been forwarded to
Vice President Roosevelt, notifying
him of the sudden change for the
worse in the Presidents condition and
the fears that are entertained.
This mornings dispatches state that

BRATTLEBORO,
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1901.

Galveston, which was almost
swept out of existence Sept. 8, 1900,
has partially recovered its losses, re-
established it's trade relations, and
done a larger business this year than
ever before in it's history For the first
time the value of it's foreign exports
for a single year exceeded 500, O,0OO,
being larger by more than $16,000,-
900 than in the preceding year. Plans
have been made for the expenditure
of $6,000,000 in new buildings and i'm
provements, not including an equal
amount to be expended by the South
ern Pacific railroad. The federal gov
ernment has also appropriated more
than $1,000,OO0 for rebuilding its for
tifcations.

An Equal Duty.

The amusement season opens in
Brattleboro with gratifying assurances
that we are to be given a taste of the
best that the New England circuit af-
fords in drama, in music, and in ly-
ceum platform work. Mr.. Fox, the
Auditorium manager, sets himself
high standard in his opening num-
bers-a return appearance each of
Faust and of Mildred Holland. The
entertainment committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association, in it's
field of lyceum offerings, announces a
program which includes the very best
available talent. No better selections
could have been made at any price.
In each case the management has
done it's duty and taken its full share
of responsibility. An equal duty now
rests on the public to do it's share by
giving it's patronage to those presenta-
tions which elevate the taste, defend
the morals, and uphold the standard
of an appreciative and intelligent COM
munity and by withholding its sup
port from those which do not.

A very large per cent of the officers
of the regular army are advocates of
the canteen system, but it is a singu-
lar fact that almost no testimony re-
garding the canteen has come from
the private soldiers. 1t may be of
interest, therefore, to record the state
ment made recently by a soldier who
served in the ranks in this country, in
Cuba and in the Philippines. He de-
clared that the canteen was detri-
mental to the army and a plaything
for the officers. that the dividends from
the canteen were mythical, that the
food was no better when the canteens
were running than at the present time,
and that the same quality of drink
ables at the same prices fixed by the
canteen system may now be bought
from German dealers near the army
posts

NORTHFIELD, MASS,

Northfeld Seminary opened Thurs
day. Town scholars are excluded from
both the Seminary and Mount Hermon
for a short time because of the scarlet
fever.
Among the Northfield people who
are in Buffalo this week are, Homer
Smith, Marshall Stearns and daughter,
Rose, Mrs. A. M. d. Alexander and
Miss Mary Alexander, F. w. Doane,
and Fostine Bigelow. Others will go

Scarlet fever appeared in the prim-
ary school during its first week, two
children being taken in the school,
from the families of Frank Aldrich
and VIM. Moore. The centre schools
and the kindergarten have been closed
and everything possible done by the
board of health to stop the spread of
the disease.
The farm buildings ON the Judah
Nash place were entirely consumed by
fire on Monday evening. The house
had been vacated that day by w. H.
Leets who had lately traded the place
for one in another town. The fire
caught in the barn and is thought to
have been the work of an incendiary.
The house was empty but the barn
contained about 35 tons of hay. The
property was insured for $780, loss
not estimated
H. w. Rankin having sold his High
land avenue house, is in town, moving
and storing his furniture. He has pre-
sented to the library three valuable
pictures: A wood engraving of
Lowell, a steel engraving of Emerson
and picture of the old Manse of Con-
cord. These pictures are a valuable
addition to the collection and will be
much enjoyed by all lovers of fine pic
lures. 1t is greatly regretted by North
field people that Mr.. Rankin is going
elsewhere to live.
A town meeting is called for next
Tuesday by the selectmen to see If
the town will accept the proposition
of Frances Robert Schell to pay the
cost not exceeding $4,000 of a bridge
across the Connecticut river, to be
constructed by the town under the pro-
vision Of chapter $50 of the acts of
1901 as contained in his offer of Aug.
%; to see if the town will vote to con-
struct and maintain a highway bridge
across the Connecticut river as au-
thorized by chapter $50 of the acts of
1901.

Reciprocity the KEYNOTE.

Reciprocity was the keynote of
President McKinley's address at the
Pan-American exposition Thursday, al
though in the beginning he spoke fe-
licitous words of greeting to the COM
missioners, discussed the objects of
expositions, complimented the Pan
American exposition on the good work
which it had done, and reviewed strik-
ingly but briefly the changes and the
inventions encompassed within the
18th century. He rejoiced in the pros
perity of the country, but advised look
ing to the future to maintain our pros
perity through enlarging our foreign
markets. That his own opinions have
changed from those held at the time
a certain tariff measure bore his name
may be seen from this statement from
his speech:
Reciprocity is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial
development under the domestic policy
duce beyond our domestic consump-
tion must have a vent abroad. The
excess must be relieved through a for
eign outlet and we should sell every
where we can and buy wherever the
buying will enlarge our sales and pro-
ductions and thereby make a greater
demand for home labor.
"The period of exclusiveness is past.
The expansion of our trade and com.
merce is the pressing problem. Com
mercial wars are improbable. A pol
icy of good will and friendly trade re-
lations will prevent reprisals. Reel
procity treaties are in harmony with
the spirit of the times; measures of
retaliation are not. If perchance some
of our tariffs are no longer needed for
revenue or to encourage and protect
our industries at home why should
they not be employed to extend and
promote our markets abroad?"
He also advised the strengthening
of our merchant marine; the establish
ment of direct steamship service be-
tween our Atlantic seaboard and South
American ports; the building of the
interoceanic canal; the laying the Pa
cific cable; and in closing he urged his
hearers to remember that our interest

The white birch trees on the Marl-

havoc, and that it is assisted in its
work of destruction by small green
lice. In, gone places the yellow
birches also been attacked.

The Springfield Republican, in re-
viewing the assassinations of the past
century shows that the anarchistic pc
riod dates from 1894, when President
Carnot of France was murdered. In
the summer of 1897 the prime minister
of Spain, Canovas del Castillo, was
slain. In the autumn of 1898 Empress
Elizabeth of Austria Hungary was as
sassinated in Switzerland. In 1899 an
attempt was made in Belgium to kill
the Prince of Wales, now King Edward
of England, and little more than a
year ago King Humbert Of Italy fell
by the hand of an assassin who plotted
his crime in the anarchistic group in

Rev. F. L. Phalen, of Worcester,
formerly pastor of the Unitarian
church in Brattleboro, who formed an
intimate acquaintance with Admiral
and Mrs. Sampson at Burk Haven on
Sunapee lake, writes to the Worcester
Spy that the reports of the admiral's
condition have been so fallacious and
misleading that the plain truth ought
to be told in the interests of all con-
cerned. He said Admiral Sampson
is a sick man, very weak in body, and
suffering from what seems like ner-
vous prostration. He says that no
one who looks at the fine, noble face,
with the straightforward, manly eyes
can fail TO be prepossessed in his IA
vor. Mr.. Phalen believes it would be
nothing less than a crime TO compel
Admiral Sampson to appear at the
court of inquiry in his present condi
ton.
