Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Leon F.
Czolgosz, the assassin of President
Mckinley, was yesterday afternoon
sentenced to be electrocuted in Au-
burn state prison during the week be-
ginning Oct. 20, 1901. Before SEN
tence was passed the assassin evinced
a desire to speak. but he could not get
his voice above whisper, and his
words were repeated to the court by
his counsel.
There was no one else but,me," the
prisoner said in whisper. mo one
else told me to do it, and no one paid
me to do 1t. | was not told anything
about the crime and never thought
anything about that until couple of
days before committed the crime"
CzOlgosz sat down. He was quite
calm, but it was evident his mind was
flooded with thoughts of his own dis
tress. His eyes were dilated, making
them appear very bright. His cheeks
were trifle pale and his outstretched
hand trembled. The guards put the
handouts on his wrists. He looked at
one of the officers. There was an ex-
preston Of the Pfofoundest fear and
helplessness in his eyes. He glanced
about at the people, who crowded to-
gether in efforts to get look at him.
The prisoners eyelids fell TREMENDOUSLY
and then he placed his gaze on the
floor in front of him. At this point
Judge Titus came over to the prisoner
and babe him goodbye. Czolgosz re-
piled very family, letting his eye rest
upon the man who had been his coun-

Goodbye" he said weakly.
Czolgosz was then hurried down
stairs and through the tunnel of,

main until removed to Auburn to pay
the penalty for his crime.
The death warrant, signed by JUS
tice White, is addressed to the agent
and warden of Auburn state prison,

NO RACE YESTERDAY.

New York, Sept. 27.-One of the
biggest crowds that ever put to sea
went down to the Sandy Hook light
ship yesterday to witness Sir Thomas
Liptons second challenger, Sham
rock II. and the white flyer Columbia,
which successfully defended the old
Americas cup against his first trophy
hunter two years ago, struggle LOT
yachting supremacy Of the world IN
the first of the cup races of 1901. But
the excursion feet returned disap-
pointed. The great single stickers
went out in the morning fresh for the
battle, but the sea refused them field
of conflict. The wind, never more than
nine, and sometimes as'low as three.
knots was too light and shifty to carry
the contestants over the 3O-mlle
course in time allotted by the rules.
At the end of five and half hours,
the prescribed time, the race was OIL
cially declared off and the yachts were
towed back to their berths inside
Sandy Hook. When the gun aboard
the committee boat was fired to call
attention to the signal declaring the
race off, the American yacht was stlii
several miles from the finish line. The
Englishman was hull down astern OF
her, the experts estimating her dis
lance behind the Columbia at over
three-quarters of mile.
Americans will have reason to con-
graduate themselves on the result or
the first trial. The yacht which car
ried j. p. MOrgan's private signal,
black pennant with yellow maltese
cross, to victory two years ago, was
headed but once in the % miles COW
cred, and then the Englishman showed
the way for only five minutes. In
windward work Columbia beat the for
eigner seven minutes and Is seconds
to the outer mark and increased her
lead somewhat in the broad reach Tor
home. While the test was unsatisfac-
tory, the yachting SharpS who nave
been skeptical up to this time as to
the ability of Columbia to successfully
defend the cup, are more confident
that 1t will remain on this side OF the
Atlantic a while longer. Certainly
Columbia's superiority in light airs ap-
pears to have been demonstrated.
Shamrock III did not, in fact, make as
good a showing as did Lipton's first
challenger in the half dozen fiukes
that preceded the actual races two
years ago. What Shamrock may be
able to do in heavy weather is, OF
course, problematical, but Columbia
has been tried, and all her admirers
insist that she is distinctly heavy
weather boat.
Two years ago Sir Thomas's prayer
was for wind, but when he got
smashing 25-knot gale in the last race,
Columbia's victory was even more de-
cisive than in the first. Since then
Columbia's ability in heavy weather
has been proven again and again. The
harder it blows the faster she goes
and the better she behaves. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that the patriotic
shippers and spectators who went
down to Sandy Hook with misgivings
returned treasured and strongly dis
posed to wager that the pretty wreath
of Shamrock and white heather from
the oldest yacht club in the world,
which Sir Thomas is treasuring in the
cabin of his champion, will prove no
mascot after all

HANNA PRAISES ROOSEVELT.

Declares Few Men Gould Face Unex-
pected Responsibilities So Well.
The following words concerning Presi-
dent Roosevelt, spoken by Senator M. A.
Hanna to Leader reporter In Cleveland
yesterday are words of far more than OrdI-
nary interest at this time when there have
been various copjectures as to whether the
President could hold the friendship of the
man who was without question one Of the
sir INCEST men among the friends of Mr. Nc
Klnley's administration and one of the
shrewdest advisers of the late lamented
president Whether people love Senator
Hanna or not no one denies his wisdom and
few care to dispute his judgment. Coming
as these words do they should still further
strengthen the wonderful confidence which
has already manifested itself in President
Roosevelt since his shoulderng of the new
duties which have come upon him. The
words Of Senator Hanna are as follows:
president Roosevelt is different man
than he was few weeks ago. He has al
ways been honest in purpose, strong In
action, and true to his own and to republl-
can principles, but now the new and great
responsibilities that have been so suddenly
thrust upon his shoulders have given him
equipoise and conservatism.
"These responsibilities have rounded out
his character. believe that he will live up
to the expectations of his dearest friends.

and done since death 80 suddenly and
cruelty took our beloved president, William
Mckinley, from our midst
at is not often that men come so sud-
denly and unexpectedly face to face with
the great responsibilities resting on the
president of the United States. and few men
could have met these responsibilities with
so much dignity, good judgment and COM
mon sense as did President Roosevelt. He
merits not only the confidence of the Re-
publicans Of this country, but he deserves
the confidence of the entire nation, and
believe that he has both"

WILL BE DIVORCED.
Mrs. George M. Pullman, Jr., Claims
Desertion and Unfaithfulness.


Chicago, Sept. i21.--Mrs. George NJ.
Pullman, Jr., will sbe granted a divorce
from her husband today. Evidence in
the suit for divorce was heard by
Judge Bishop in the circuit court here
yesterday after the adjournment of
the regular session, no one being pres
ent except those directly interested,
Mr.. Pullman has been in the far west
for some time, and is now said to be
in Redwood, Cal. His solicitor filed
for an appearance and consented to
default for want of an answer, and
also to immediate trial. The court,
therefore, instructed attorneys for the
complainant, Mrs. Pullman, to write
up the evidence and agree upon the
amount of alimony by today, when the
uecree of divorce will be signed. Mrs.
Pullman charges her husband with un-
faithfulness and desertion. The couple
has been separated since January,
1900. They were married in New York
Aug. 16, 1899. Mrs. Pullman was Miss
Lynn Fernald and was popular in Chi
cago before her marriage.

Vi there were any need of attempting to
show that the island of Cuba still has
friend In the presidents chair, the an
no0ncement OF the result of the conferences
between President Roosevelt and Governor
General Wood which have taken place
within the last few days would be sufficient
TO demonstrate that fact. Not only is the
island to be permitted to 90 ahead In com
'pleting the forms for its own government,
a5ut already the degree OF Its own independ-
Nence Is being emphasized by the discussion
of the best reciprocity measures to be put
dpto effect between the island and this
country. 1t has already been practically
agreed that the best interests of both cour-
tries for the present will be served by ad-
'mitting American cereals and farm ma
.chinery, things Of which the Cubans are in
the greatest need and the least able to SUD-
ply Tor themselves, into Cuba free of duty,
and In return admitting sugar and tobacco
free from the island. Inasmuch as the
agricultural Implements are :. absolutely
necessary for the fullest development of the
Island and the cereals are equally needed
Cor the proper feeding of the people, the
treatment of the island will be of the kind
best suited to the conditions prevailing
there. On the other hand the sugar and
tobacco interests in this country are too
strong to be affected seriously by the slight
added competition which the admission of
those articles free of duty would bring
with ii.

The immigration commissioners IN New
York are reported to be exercising greater
care in attempting to prevent the landing Of
anarchists than formerly. The attempt is a
acommendable one even though at best the
effect would be somewhat similar to the
cleaning up the sand of a broad beach by
preventing the tide from washing up few
more dirty shells and grains OF sand while
doing nothing to clean up the great piles Of
dirty filth already on the beach. The strict,
eeven autocratic Interpretation of the immi-
grafton laws to keep out people of anarchis-
tic tendencies Is commendable on the part
of those who are so placed that they can
serve their country by so doing, but there
