The appeal was referred to the vice

to act in such an exigency. The lodge
waited Is minutes and the vice presi-

Der rescued being Sc. The crews of

3S persons all told-and the crews of

but were extricated Sunday morning
The wrecked craft are the Wawatam

Pauley and consort Amaranth; barge

CABINET AT BUFFALO.
No Formal Meetings Are Held, But
Members Are Ready 10 Face
Any Emergency.


Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 9.--All of the
members of the cabinet are now here
except Secretaries Hay and Long. The
former telegraphed that he would
start from Newberry to-day probably
in time to be here tonight. Secretary
Long also autographed that he was
coming, but did not specify the time.
The cabinet officers feel it to be their
duty to be here in this crisis to meet
any emergency. They are holding no
formal meetings, although there are
some matters of public business which
they daily discuss informally and the
possible contingencies should the pres
ident grow worse are also thoroughly
canvassed. They do not believe that
there is the most remote possibility
that Vice President Roosevelt will be
called upon to exercise the functions
of chief magistrate under the disabil-
fly clause of the constitution while the
president lives. The members of the
cabinet are making their headquarters
at the Buffalo club, and there their in
terchanges take place. They arctic re-
main here for the present and the
plans of departure are indefinite and
not even thought of while the presi-
dent is not entirely out of danger. II
he should pass the danger point, how
ever, they will return at once to Wash
ington.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Shoald oc-
casion arise-a contingency only con-
sidered very remote possibility
for the vice president to discharge
the duties of president during the
latter's disability, the cabinet would
have to determine and proclaim the
necessity for such a course. The
present situation has called prom
inently to the attention of the men,
bers of the cabinet and of other dis
tinguished statesmen and publicists
who are gathering here, of the vague
ness of the constitution upon this
point. 1t contains no word or direc-
ton as to who shall determine the
existence of disability which would
render it incumbent upon the vice
president to act. It appears to be
the general opinion that the cabinet
is the only body which could pro-
claim the disability within the mean
ing of the constitution. 1t is con-
sidered probable that the haziness Of
the constitution upon this point will
lead to agitation for an enactment
and, if necessary, for a constitution
al amendment to define exactly what
shall constitute disability of the
president, and to provide for the
temporary exercise OF the functions
of chief magistrate by the vice pres
ident.
Chicago, Sept. 9.-The trail of Pres
ident McKinley's assassin has been
found in Chicago. 1t is known that
Czolgosz has been in this city on at
least two occasions within the last few
months, and already IL men and wom-
en-, all anarchists, have been arrested
on suspicion that they may have been
concerned in conspiracy with him.

cry Of President Mckinley. and that a

detectives leaped upon his assailant,
he turned, walked steadily to chair
and seated himself, at-the same time
removing his hat and bowling his head
in his hands.
Urged All to he Calm.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile ad-
monishing those about him to remain
calm and telling them not to be
alarmed.
"But you are wounded" cried his
secretary; "let me examine"
mo, I think not" answered the
president. II am not badly hurt, as
sure you"
Nevertheless his outer garments
were hastily loosened, and when a
trickling stream Of crimson was seen
to wind its way down his breast,
spreading its telltale stain over the
white surface of the linen, their worst
fears were confirmed.
Asks Mercy for Assailant.
Moved by paroxysm he writhed
to the left and then his eyes fell on
the PROSTATE form of the would-be
assassin, Czolgosz, lying on the floor
bloody and helpless beneath the
blows of the guard.
The president raised his right hand,
red with his own blood, and placed it
on the shoulder of his secretary.

and sank back in the chair, while the
guards carried Czolgosz out of his
sight.

an attack as occurred. He stood al
the edge of the raised dais upon
which stands the great pipe organ at
the east side Of the magnificent
structure. Throngs of people
crowded in at the various entrances
to gaze upon their executive, per-
chance to clasp his hand, and then
fight their way out in the good-na-
tured mob that every minute swelled
and multiplied at the points Of in
gress and egress to the building.
The president was In o cheerful
mood, and was enjoying to the full
the hearty evidences of good will
which everywhere met his gaze. Up
on his right stood John G. Milburn,
of Buffalo, president Of the PAN

the president and introducing to him
especially persons of note who ap-
preached. Upon the presidents left
stood Mr.. Cortelyou.

1t was shortly after four 'p. m,
when one of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party, q
medium-sized man of ordinary APP
pearance and plainly dressed in
black, approached as il to greet the
president. Both Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milbdrn noticed that
the mans hand was swathed in
bandage OF hanaKerchief. Reports of
bystanders differ as to which hand.
He worked his way amid the stream
of people up to the edge of the dais
until he was within two feet of the
president.

President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of genialty the American people so
well know. when suddenly the sharp

crack of revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices, the
shutting of myriad feet and vibrat-
ing waves of applause that ever and
anon swept here and there over the
assemblage.
There was an instant of almost
complete silence. The president
stood stock still, look of hesitancy,
almost of bewilderment on his face.
Then he retreated step, while a
pallor began to steal over his fea-
lures. The multitude, only partially
aware that something serious had
happened, paused in surprise while
necks were craned and all eyes
turned as one to the rostrum where
great tragedy was being enacted.
