PRIEST SAW CZOLGOSZ,
But the Assassin Has Not Vet En-
braced Religion.

Auburn. n. v. Oct. 22-Lcon Czol-
gosz. the assassin of President Nc
Kinley, who is awaiting eloctrocution
in the prison here during the week
commencing Monday. fully realizing
that his death is only question of
few days, has asked for spiritual con
ISOLATION, and this afternoon received
visit from Rev. T. S. Szardinski,
Polish priest Of the Roman Catholic
church.
Czolgosz' request for a priest of his
own nationality was made to the war
den this morning. ....
Father Szardinski who is pastor Of
st. Stanislaus churo :. Rochester. re-
NAMED with Czolgosz about an hour.
The interview betweeen the priest
and prisoner proved very unsatisfac-
tory to both. 1t took place in the
condemned mans cell, and the con-
versation was carried on in Polish.
During the interview Czolgosz said
that he had been baptized in the Ro-
man Catholic faith in the Polish
church in Detroit. He had abandoned
the church early in life, and had lost
all faith in its teachings. Father
Szardinski urged him to renounce
his belief in anarchism and return to
the faith of his earlier years.
Czolgosz declared his inability tC
do so, and he was informed that un
less he could the consolation of the
church would be denied him. The
priest urged the condemned man tc
consider the matter carefully and told
him that if at any time he decided tC
reembrace the faith he would return
from his home in Rochester and sta,
with him until the end. Father Szar
dinski, before taking his departure
left with Czolgosz some Catholic lit
erature printed in Polish.
Czolgosz assured Father Szardinsk
that in case he determined to accep
the offices of religion he would SEM
for him, but he did not hold out mucl
hope that he would renounce III,
doctrines of anarchy.
Warden Meade and Superintendent
Collins, at their conference in Alban,

Philippine PROBLEM.
President contemplates Vigorous
Policy.

Washington, Oct. 22.-When Sec
retary Root returns to Washington he
will give immediate consideration to
a problem in the Philippines. 1t
will be represented to him by some of
his military advisers that the present
force under General Chaffee should
be materially increased if the situa-
ton is to be rendered pacific.
Mr. Roosevelt is understood to
share some of the misapprehension
with which certain army officers are
possessed in regard to the conditions
in the archipelago. 1t is not believed
that it is profitable or wise to take
roseate view of the matter,
and he finds that some of the reports
which have come from Manila have
been rather highly colored
There are now 10000 troops in the
Philippines. 1t is not known just to
what extent this force will be aug
mented by Secretary Root, but it is
certain that recommendations will be
made in favor of sending additiona
troops to Manila. 1t is possible that
three or four regiments will be dis
patched and it is likely that Mr.. Roos
evelt. within week, will have de
cided upon more vigorous policy.
