In his confession Czolgosz ha.
 told of his attempt to destro,
 the written evidences of the con
 splracy. He has said that time did not permit him to burn the papers as he desired.
 Czolgosz new that if he was tc meet the President at the Temple of Music he had to be in line early.
 Before leaving his room ir Nowak's Hotel he gathered to. gether all of his papers. All were bound m a package. He says that he made a circuitous and almless rout about the city, and at some point which he cannot describe he came upon an open sewer.
 Into this he cast the papers. Superintendent Bull asked him to take detectives to the spot, but he said that he could not find his way there.
 Acting under instructions from Secretary Root, the police still refuse the details of the confess sion, but in Superintendent Bulls office tonight The Repub- lie correspondent was told that of the assassin's confession were published in full a wave of in- dignation against anarchism of, the organized sort would sweep over the country which would inevitably result in serious dis. orders
 While Czolgosz retains his show of bravado, he announces his determination of entering a plea of guilty when he is brought to trial. He says that he knows full we'll that he is at the mercy| of society, which he detests, for' which reason he will make noI fight in court, but will enter as| soon as possible upon his punish meut.
 Altho Emma Goldman has beenl arrested Ill Chicago, she will be brought to Buffalo for trial. The center of the conspiracy is here. Tonight buffalo is filled with agents of the secret service, Al search is being made of every sewer that underlies the city, for 1t Is known that in one of them Is package of papers containing, the details of the cons piracy| and the names of those concerned Czolgosz in the plot, together with an out line of its ramifica- tionS.
 The Secret Service men know that altho Emma Goldman and| lsaak now attempted to deny| their intimacy with Czolgosz, that when Emma Goldman start ed for Baffalo, Czolgosz accom- panied her to the railroad sta- tion.
 The police and District Attor- ney expect that Emma Goldman nj will fight extradition from Chicago. What methods will bel employed by District Atteruey| to bring her to the scene of theI crime, which 1t is believed, the words impelled is not known.
 According to the best informa- ] ton, five of the anarchists now under arrest III Chicago have made statements to the effect that they saw Czolgosz while he| was in Chicago consulting with Emma Goldman and Abraham ISaak. This seems to render the| case against the Free Society," complete, and 1t Is likely that onI or before September 19 Governor Odell will be asked to requestion! the prisoners from the Governor of Illinois.

 a MCKlnIey'S Last Words. A The President came out of one 4period of unconciousness only to Srelapse into another.
 Down stairs with strained and
 tearstained faces, the members of, kthe cabinet were grouped in anxii-I iety waiting. They new the end
 was near they must see him for,
 the last time or earth. ThisI
 was about o'clock yeSterdayI gevening. One by one they aSsend-|
 led the stairs. There were only al
 momentaTy stay of the cabinet 5ofhcers at the threshold of thel
 death chamber. Then they with-l drew, tears streaming down their faces and words of intense grief
 choking in their throats.
 After they had left the sicki room the physicians rallied himj to conciousness and he asked al-i most immediately that his wife; be brought to him. The doctors fell back iu to the shadows of theI room as Mrs. Mckinley camel thru the doorway.
 The strong face of the dyings man was lighted up by a faint smile, as their hands were clasp led. She sat beside him and held his hand. Despite her physical weakness see bore up bravely under the ordeal.
 He was saying farewell to his wife when with great effort he said his last words. Goodbye all, goodbye. It is Gods way. His will be done" He died unattend-t ed by a minister of the gospel, | but his last words were a humble q to the will of GOd1 in whom he believed. Just be- fore he lapsed in to uuconciOuS-5 ness he begged of the doctors tOl let him die and then chauted softly the words Nearer. my God to Thee" He died just ten minutes after his wife left tue room.
 Shortly after the death of she Pressdsnt Secy. Wilson said that a meeting of the cabinet would be held this morning for the pur- pose of settling in details of the Presidents funeral. He said it had been decided to have the Presidents boay conveyed to Washington for the funeral. Bur- al will take place at Canton.

Heart Action WeakenS.

Shortly after ? o'clock, the physicians and nurses detected a weakening of the heart action aThe pulse fluttered and weakened
 and the President sank toward collapse. The end appeared to be I |at hand. Restoratives were speedily applied with all the re- serve force of science. Action was immediat and decisive. Digitalis and strychniue were |administrated and as a last resort Ia saline solution was injected in Ito the veins.

A General Alarm.

A general alarm went speeding s to the consulting physicians and strained nurses as fast as mes Esengers, the telegraph and tele- Ephone could carry 1t. The re- gStoratives did not at once prove effective aud 1t was realized that |the President was in an extremely critical condition. That fealiza- stion with the shadow of death behind it led to another call and that to a summos to the cabinet relatives and close personal friends of the President. The messengers who returned with the doctors and nurses were hur- 'ried off after those within reach and to those who were absent from the city telegrams convey ing the painful tidings were quick |ly transmitted by telegraph.

A STRANGE CUSTOM.
Novel Way Of Announcing the Birth OF .
Child In Holland.

In some of the towns Oh Holland, es-
pecially those which in past times
suffered much from the Spanish In
vaders under King Philip ii OF Spain,
there is prevailing the strange custom
of announcing the birth of a child by
hanging to the front door rapper or
knocker, called "klopper," enveloped
in linen, lace or cloth. This usage
still Observed particularly by the
patrician families, is said to derive Its
origin from a Spanish ordinance. &C
cording to which the soldiers seeking
quarters were forbidden to be billeted
at houses where newborn children had
arrived. A ha]f-wrapped up "klopper''
announces the birth Of a girl; one
wholly enveloped that Of boy. Mod
ern fashion demands costly lace,
which in some cases is inherited from
generation to generation. and, again,
the lace employed to be wound round
the mothers wedding bouquet is often
used for this purpose. A rapper's red
shield denotes the birth of son; one
half red and half white, that OF a
daughter The good Hollanders Will,
in time be looking for "klopper" at
IONS Willeminje's" front door.
