crime.
The Southern element of the city were per-

crime than any other. Colonel Samuel Kennard,
a leading merchant. and a soldier who battled
for the gray in the between the States was

not dictated by any mistaken idea OF PARTISAN

tobacco manufacturer and political friend of
Bryan. said that words failed him to express
his horror Of the crime. He said that the death
OF the President would be great loss to the
country, for man he was admired alike by
friend and foe In the political world. His hon
esty and the wisest craftsmanship he has dis
played would make his administration one of
the most noted in the history of Presidents.

SHOT AT THE NATION.
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE,l

lBf TELEGRAPH TO THE TRiBVNE-l
Birmingham. Ala. Sept. 6.-There is only one
sentiment in this city regarding the attempted
assassination of President Mckinley, and that
is one of universal horror and regret John V
Smith. chairman of the State Railroad Commits
sion said might:
regard Mckinley as easily the foremost
American in the Republican party to-day. He
is magnificent American In every respect A
shot at him is shot at America.
Judge Charles A Sem. OF the City Court. said
A shot evelled at Mr. Mckinley was a hit at
the nation. II an ineXpressble outrage.
Culpepper Exum, president of the Commercial
Club said
All sections Of the country bound TO feel
the same way. Mckinley has been the Presi-
dent of all the people. His attempted ac-
complshed assassination Is horrible in the
tTeme.
Earnest A Dufuniak. general agent Of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad, said:
Such an act as that of the man who shot Mr
Mckinley is almost incomprehensible. He has
been kind and generous to the Southern people.
and they are OF one accord in the universal feel
ing Of mingled sympathy and horror.
There is but one feeling manifest here. and
that is a mingled love for President Mckinley
and horror of the deed.

EXCITEMENT IL PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-The news Of the at
tempted assassination Of President Mckinley
spread with lightning rapidity throughout this
city, and within an hour after the first infOrma-
ton had been received the streets near the
newspaper offices were thronged with people
eager for details Nearly all the newspapers pub
lshed extra editions at brief intervals, and the
supply Of each edition was quickly exhausted.
At the offices Of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway the
ecutive officers assembled and received special
advice concerning the Presidents condition.
The Union League the Manufacturers Club and
other influential organizations crowded
with members ahzious hear the latest reports
from Buffalo.
Later to night the streets In the business dis
trict took the appearance OF an election night.
and the topic of conversation among the
thousands who crowded about the newspaper
bulletins was the attempted assassination Of the
President.
New-York tribune., 1901-09-07

The President would not have given any one
the chance to shoot him. There's talk about
sassinations and plots much of the time now
that have to believe them all lies"
But the incredulous man watched for another
bulletin with apparently greater anxiety than
many who said nothing Ia the mean time the
crowd. which kept wedging in between the
statues of Franklin and OF Greeley became more
restive and impatient. Drivers OF vehicles
which had crawIed out Of Nassau-st. attempted
TO drive through. but to no avail. AT last
policeman who looked as II he would not stand
for another shake down drew his club and
hewed a way through. The wagons followed
through the mass of jostling humanity
AS a general thing the intervention of a Tam
many policeman is greeted with many uucom-
plimentary epthets but the crowd that fell
back before this determined official made not a
murmur,
The first Impression OF lncredulity by this
time had worn away. and even the garrulous
against the bulletin board had become
communicative. The second bulletin. announc-
ing some OF the details OF the shooting and tell
ing OF the treachery OF the assassin, who shot
his victim even while profferng A welcoming
hand, soon began TO stir the crowd from mood
OF stupefaction to one Of anger.
An anarchist exclaimed a short side whis-
kered who had fumed himself into a high
temperature by trying TO look over other peoples
shoulders. What coming TO- anyway ?''
he burst out again. Nobody can be good or
great famous these days but anarchist
must shoot him down
You're right" old man whose stump OF a
right arm and bronze badge his lapel
showed that he had smeed powder and heard
the bullets himself forty years before.
War amt half as bad these assassinations," ="
he continued. In war YOU go out for pur
pose; each side thinks it's right. and there's no
other way OF deciding II. But these anarchists
are towards, every one Of them. They sneak on
a man, and make out they're insane or try to
crawl out of II some other way. They all ought
10 be strung up. To shoot them is TO give 'em
too easy death"
Many the words OF admiration of and
sympathy for the President.
Politics don't count now" said one. Il was
fool enough to vote against him twice and
would again for the pride of party. but admire
the man just the same, and feel IL as bad as If
one of my own family shot"
II was long after sundOwn that the congestion
In the Row" began to lessen.
The streetcars in passing often came to a halt
in front of the Tribune Building so that car
crews and passengers might learn the latest re-
port of the Presidents condition
