vas within two feet of the president.
President Mckinley smiled. bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit
of geniaIity the American people so
well know. when suddenly the sharp
crack of a revolver rang out lond and
clear above the hum of voices. the
shutting of myriad feet and vibrating
waves OF applause that ever and anon
swept here and there over the as
s~emblage.
There was an instant of almost COM
plete silence. The president stood
stock still, a look of hesitancy, almost
of bewilderment on his face. Then he
retreated a step while a pallor began
to steal over his features. The null
titude, only partially aware that
something serious had happened,
paused in surprise, while necks we're
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
as had here befallen the president
and the nation. The third was a by
stander, a negro, who had only an in
slant previously grasped in his dusky
palm the hand of the president. AS
one man the trio hurled themselves
upon the presidents assailant. In a

THE NEWS IN ENGLAND.
Too Late for enera Dissemination,
but Received With Sorrow
and Indignation.

London, Sept. 6.-The news of the
attempt upon the life of President
Mckinley spread slowly in London.
The first ticker reports were discred-
tied; then, with the confirmation and
general dissemination of the news,
arose a far-reaching feeling of sorrow
and indignation, which, wherever
Americans were gathered, almost
gained the proportions of a panic, ac-
companied by feverish anxiety for
further details. The thousands of
Americans now in London were most
~ at the theaters when the news ar
rived and, returning to their hotels,
found anxious groups of Englishmen
and Americans discussing what, with
out distinction of race is regarded as
a national calamity.
London's telephones, usually silent
at night, tingled with impatient in
quiries addressed to newspapers and
American correspondents, in the hope
of securing a denial of the report.
Comparatively few Englishmen
heard the news tonight, but all these
expressed their horror and sympathy

instead of the president. The lat
ter's kindly personality, his friendship
for England and his kindly message
of coincidence upon the occasion of
Queen Victoria's death, were all called
up in voices as low and awestricken as
those at any purely American gather
ing.
The lord mayor of London was in
formed of the attempt upon the pres
ident's life by a press representative,
and expressed the greatest grief and
emotion. He said:
II shall call a meeting of the elder
men tomorrow formally to express
to Mrs. Mckinley and the American
people the horror and grief felt at
the attempt. Personally, the news
comes to me with the greatest posi-
Bile shock, and I am sure that every
citizen of London will join me in ex-
pressing feelings of sorrow at the ter
rib1e calamity"
Mr.. and Mrs Nat. C. Goodwin and
other Americans who were to have
dined at the Carlton tonight cancelled
their engagement on hearing the news
and all the orchestra ceased playing.

Said the Prisoner.

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 7.-Walter No
wax, a New York cigarmaker, former
". of Cleveland, was taken into the
room where Czolgosz was being ex-
Rmined. After glancing at the pris-
oner he said he knew him in Cleve-
land two years ago. He said that
Czolgosz was without sufficient intel
ligence to organize such a crime al
the prisoner had been guilty of.
Nowak said, after coming from the
room where the conference was held,
that Czolgosz advanced toward him
with extended hand.
Nowak looked at the prisoner dis
painfully, and refused to accept the
proffered hand, saying: "SCOUN
DREL, WHY DID YOU COMMIT
THIS TERRIBLE CRIME? WHO
ORIGINATED THIS DEVLISH PLOT?
IT WAS NOT YOU"
"I Did," REPLIED CZOLGOSZ. II

turning to the Milburn residence she
took leave of her nieces, the Misses
Barber, and the presidents niece
Miss Duncan, as well 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-
ley. 1t was finally decided that o N her
awakening or shortly thereafter Mr.,
Buchanan should break the news to
her, if, in the meantime her physician,
DIR. Rixey, had not arrived.
Mrs. Mckinley awoke from her
sleep about $3.50 o'clock. She was
feeling splendidly, she said, and at
once took up her crocheting, which,
as is well known, is one of her favor
tie diversions.
Immediately on Mr.. Buchanan's ar
rival al the Milburn home he had tele-
phonic communication Herewith cut
off, for already there had been several
calls, and he decided on this as the
wisest course to pursue, lest Mrs. Nc
Kinley, hearing the continued ring
ing of the telephone bell, might in
quire what it meant.
While the light of day remained
Mrs. Mckinley continued with her
~crocheting, keeping to her room.
When it became dusk and the presi-
dent had not arrived, she began to
fao1 nnSinI1c oononrnin~ 2ISr,
Il wonder why he does not come"
she asked one of her nieces.
There was no clock in Mrs. McKin-
ley's room, and when it was seven
o'clock she had no idea it was so late,
and this is when she began to feel
anxious concerning her husband, for
he was due to return to Mr.. Milburn's
house about six o'clock.
At V o'clock, DR.. Rixey arrived
at the Milburn residence. He had
been driven hurriedly down Delaware
avenue in an open carriage. AS he
came up Mr.. Buchanan was out on the
lawn c~onversing with a reporter.
do you know said Mr.. buchanan,
ST had a sort of premonition of this?
Since early morning l had been ex-
tremely nervous and feared that
something might go wrong. Our trip
to the falls was u~neventful, but what
an awful sad ending to our day."
At 1920 p. m, DR.. RiXey came out
of the house, accompanied by Col.
Webb Hayes, a son of former Presi-
dent Hayes, who is a friend of Pres
ident Mckinley. They entered a car
riage and returned to the exposition
hospital.
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
Mr.. Milburn's it was to complete all
arrangements for the removal of the
president.
At 1880 Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and Miss Wilson called, and
were admitted to the Milburn resi-
dence.

THE ASSASSIN CoNFEssEs.
An Anarchist and an Admirer of EN-.
ma Goldman, whose Teachings
Prompted the Crime.

Buffalo, Sept. leon Czolgosz, the
accused and self-confessed assassin,
has signed a confession covering six
pages of foolscap and which states
hat he is an anarchist, and that he
became an enthusiastic member of
that body through the influence of
Emma Goldman, whose writings he
had read and whose lectures he had
listened to. He denies having any
confederate, and says he decided on
the act three days ago, and bought the
revolver with which the crime was
committed in Buffalo. He has seven
brothers and sisters in Cleveland, and
the Cleveland directory IA the names
of about hat number living on Hos
mer stree and Ackland avenue. which
adjoin. Some of them are butchers
and others L employed in different
trades. He is now detained at police
headquarters pending the result eff
the presidents injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear in the
least degree uneasy or penitent for
his action. He says he was induced
by his attention to Emma Goldman's
lectures and writings to decide that
the present form of government in
this country was all wrong and he
thought the best way to end it was
by killing the president. He shows no
sign of insanity, but is very .reticent
about much of his career. While ac-
knowledging himself an anarchist, he
does not state to what branch of the
organization he belongs.
