THE sADDEsT TASK OF ALL.
Breaking the News to Mrs. Mckinley
-Brnvely Received.


Immediately the president was
cared for atthe exposition grounds, Di-
rector-General w. /. Buchanan started
for the Alilburn residence to forestall
any information that might reach
there by telephone or otherwise. Very
luckily, he was first to arrive with the
information. The Niagara Falls trip
had tired Mrs. Mckinley. and on re-
turning to the Milburn residence she
took leave of her nieces, the Misses
Barber, and the presidents niece,
Miss Duncan, as we'll as their hostess,
Mrs. Milburn, and went to her room
to rest.
Mr.. Buchanan broke the news as
gently as possible to the nieces and
consulted with them and Mrs. Mil
burn as to the best course to pursue
in breaking the news to Mrs. McKin-
icy. 1t was finally decided that on her
awakening or shortly thereafter Mr..
Buchanan should break the news to
her, if, in the meantime her physician,
DR.. Rixey, had not arrived.
After DR.. Rixey had gone Director.
General Buchanan said that the doc
tor had broken the news in a most
gentle manner to Mrs. Mckinley. He
said she stood it bravely, though con-
siderably affected.
If it was possible to bring him to
her she wanted it done. DIR. Rixey
assured her that the president could
be brought with safety from the ex.
position grounds, and when he left

American people, the nations chief
executive and the city's honored
guest, lies PROSTATE, suffering pangs
inflicted by the bullet of cowardly
assassin while his life hangs in the
balance.
Out on Delaware avenue, at the
home of John G. Milburn, president
of the Pan-American exposition, with
fearful face and heart torn by con-
Hicting hopes and fears, sits the faith
full wife, whose devotion is known to
all the nation.
The president was in a cheerful
mood, and was enjoying to the full
the hearty evidence of good will which
everywhere met his gaze. Upon his
right stood John G. Milburn, of Buf.
falo, president of the Pan-American
exposition, chatting with the presi.
dent, and introducing to him persons
of especial note who approached.
Cpon the presidents left stood Mr..
Cortelyou.
1t was shortly after four o'clock,
when one of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party,
mcdium-sized man of ordinary appear,
ance and plainly dressed in black, APP
preached as if to greet the president,
Both Secretary Cortelyou and Presi-
dent Milburn noticed that the mans
hand was swathed in a bandage or
handkerchief. 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 geniality the American people so
well know. when suddenly the sharp
crack of q revolver rang out lond and
e1oar above the hum of voices, the
shuffiing of myriad feet and vibrating
waves of applause that ever and anon
swept here and there over the as
semblage.
There was an instant of almost COM
plete silence. The president stood
stock still. look of hesitancy, almost
of bewilderment on his face. Then he
retreated a step while pallor began
to steal over his features. The mul.
titude, 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 a great tragedy
was being enacted.
Then came a commotion. With the
leap of tigers three men threw them.
selves forward, as with one impulse
and sprang toward the would-be as
sassin. Two of them were United
States secret service men who were
on the lookout and whose duty it was
to guard against just such a calamity

and the nation. The third was by
stander, negro, who had only an in
stant previously grasped in his dusl1y
palm the hand of the president. AS
one man the trio. hurled themselves
upon the presidents assailant. In
twinkling he was borne TO the ground,
his weapon was wrested from his
grasp and strong arms pinioned him
down.
For a moment the confusion was
terrible. The crowd surged forward
regardless of consequences. Men

LOOKS LIKE EXTRA SESSION
senators sounded on the Advisnbility
of LegislntinE at Once for the
Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-That senators
regard seriously the prospect OF an extra
session OF congress in view OF the presi-
dents urgent recommendation of legisla-
tion concerning the Philippines islands,
was evidenced today by the activity Of
those who desire to avoid an extra session.
The speculation was rendered more definite
by the fact that senators known to be well
informed generally concerning the presi-
dents plans Joined in the discussion OF the
outlook.
Careful inquiry also developed the fact
that the president had Canvassed the sub
ject with few senators. He does not ap-
pear to have indicated any fixed deter
mination Of issuing a call, but rather to
have consulted them as to the advisablity
of such proceeding IN all such instances
he seems to have had the necessity of Phil
ippine legislation in view and senators
generally express the opinion that in case
meeting Is called the Philippine question
will receive the lions share OF attention.
The urgency of the administration on this
point Is due to the importantly of the
| Taft commission, the members OF which
| appear TO have supplemented their official
| recommendations for early action with pri-
yate letters, not only to the president. but
as well They insist upon the necessity OF
early recognition of the civil rights Of the
| Filipinos and OF a government for them
other than military in form.
Senator'S who have concerned themselves
with these matters have canvassed the
| senate somewhat today as to the posi-
| bility OF getting legislation before March
in the line Of that contemplated by the
| Spooner bill, but they have received very
| little encouragement.
| Senators are divided upon the question
| OF the necessity of congressional action
| upon the Cuban constitution. Some OF them
contend that congress will not be called
| upon to act in any way upon the constitu-
tion. Others admit the correctness OF this
view to the extent OF saying that congress
sional action will not be compulsory, bu'
they advance the idea that the president
will desire to have congress share the re-
sponsibility OF whatever step may be take1
with reference to the Cuban government

concert, in what was called the Exposi-

brought Mary Anderson here before that

house. The last time | was here was
with Patti and Tamagni, in 1889. at
the Coliseum; in that company We also
| had Nordica who was a very small fry
then. The principal people in the COM
pany were Patti Tamagni, Abani, Cash
| man as baritone and Antonio Gaassi and
| Navarro That was the first time they put
| on opera here. There were two big per-
| formances. The local association gave us
$4,000 for two performances, but | think
! they made money out of 1T; ! know they
| did in fact. We have always made money
| in Omaha. That has been the history OF
| big things in Omaha.
1--WE charged $3.50 for Mary Anderson
and she had a very small company, only
about thirty people; and for Patti we
| charged s. in the big Coliseum. You know
It is not in our interest to charge hi yh
prices; that Is not the idea. The idea is
to charge high prices only when the theater
