ed as high as six points. The dealings

ket was flooded with buying orders at the

ing from 140 to 141, against close at

There was a general feeling of confidence
in the situation. The money market was
in good condition because of the action
of the banks and the Treasury Depart
ment.
The London market reflected this feel
ing. The advances in the prices of Amer
leans there were very sharp. There were
many buying orders placed there, largely
by New York houses. At 1:15 O'Clock
London advices reported the market for
Americans very active, with prices show
ing advances of from l to 4 points over
Fridays closing here.

ANARCHISTS CELEBRATION

Secret service detectives have been keep
ing careful watch for the past few days
on several nests of Anarchists that infest
West Hoboken and the other townships
in the northern section of the county. II
was in West Hoboken that Gaetano
Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert of
Italy, lived, and it was there that Brescl
bade his wife a last farewell when he set
out to perform the dastardly deed when
ended in his death in an Italian dungeon.
Although Bresci's friends pleaded ignor-
ance of the plot against King Humbert
the government has never been satisfied
that they were as ignorant as they pro-
tested they were
Since Bresci's death Mrs Bresci and
her two children have never been in need.
The family moved from the house in
Spring street, West Hoboken, some time
ago and went to live in North Bergen.
Yesterday Detective Sergeant Petrosino,
of the Central Office in New York, noti-
fled the North Bergen authorities that
there was apt to be an anarchists cele-
bration at the Bresei home. Upon inves-
tigation it was learned that a number of
anarchists from New York had arranged
to hold picnic on the grounds adjoining
the Bresci house at Cliffside.
Tickets had been issued for the event,
but when Chief Brady of the North Ber-
gen police appeared on the scene the
picnic was abandoned. One man was ar
rested charged with being disorderly
person and was locked UP at Hacken-
sack 1t was said that one of the at
fractions arranged for the picnic was
shooting contest, the targets for which
were to be photographs of the various
Presidents.

TRIBUTES TO M'KINLEY

When he heard the sad news from
Buffalo Governor Voorhees, said:
The death of President Mckinley is a
public calamity. The grief of his country
men will be sincere and universal. The
nations of the earth, too, will mourn. A
pure minded and noble patriot is dead,
but the world is better because he has
lived. He was broad minded and charit-
able in his views, his motives were lofty,
his zeal for his country deep. His grasp
upon public affairs was great and ne was
far seeing statesman. His counseis
were wise, and while he guided and con-
trolled the nations affairs with a firm
hand he made no lasting enemies. His life

ed States. My grief is so deep over his

THE CITY DRAPED.
Flags at Half Mast and
Black Bunting Show the
General Grief.

This city yesterday bowed itself in sor-
row over the untimely death of President
Mckinley. Throughout the city the more
important buildings were draped in
mourning colors. National flags flew
at half mast from all the municipal build
ings and the majority of private resi-
dences, and their bright colors alone re-
1ieved the sombreness of sea of dark
ness. In all the churches, Catholic and
Protestant illusions were made in pray
ers and sermons to the sad event. Elo-
quent tributes were paid to the public and
private character of the dead Executive.
The doctrines of anarchy were decried
from the affairs of Christianity and patri-
otism. From the windows of thousands
of homes flashed the Grape framed litho-
graphic portraits of the martyred Presi-
dent.
The City Hall, Police Headquarters
Fire Headquarters and nearly every bust
ness building of Importance in the city
was draped in black. The decorations of
the City Hall were the same as those de-
signed by Custodian Emil Datz on the oc-
casion of the death Of the late Vice Presi-
dent Garret A. Hobart.
The clubhouse OF the Robert Davis As
sociation was draped In mourning from
basement to roof and on Saturday night

cratic County Committee and of tlle

CORDIAL BUT SILENT GREETING

As slender, sweet-faced woman
dressed in black, walked into the transhet
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad depot thI
morning every man there respectfully
raised his hat. 1t was Mrs. Theodors
Roosevelt, wife of the President, and now
the first lady in the land
She was accompanied by Mrs. Cowles
her husbands sister; her son Theodore
and Governor Allen of Porto Rico. Ths
party left the Fifth Avenue Hotel early
and after some shopping came over ts
this city by the Twenty-third street ferry
Some time before Mrs Roosevelt arrived
here a crowd of representatives of yellow
journals with cameras began to take up
convenient stations at the approach to
platform No. Z, where the Washington
express stood. They were all ready te
snap the shutters in Mrs. Rooseveltf
face when along came StationmasteI
order, much to the amusement of the
people behind the barriers.
Close after quarter past ten o'clock Mrs.
Roosevelt appeared, passing through tbs
crowd which in silence respectfully greet
ed her. She acknowledged the salutes
with timid little bow and hurried her
steps to the car.
Superintendent ]. C. Gibbons of the
Pullman Company had the Oceanic parlor
car ready for the distinguished lady. No
one was allowed near to the car after
Mrs. Roosevelt entered it. AT half-past
ten the train pulled out for Washington

HODOKEN POLITICS.
Commissioner Lankering
Says Democratic Pros
poets Are Bright.

Little life is apparent in the political
situation in Hoboken- No definite cam
paign work will be begun until after the
primaries on September Is, although the
candidates already named for the regular
Democratic ticket are practically assured
of nomination. Police Commissioner
Adolph Lankering, who will be the Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor, was jubilant
this morning over the outlook. whif h. he
said, has never been better for a r, sing
Democratic majority.
Il have seen many campaigns in this
city," said the Commissioner to a News
reporter, this morning. but I have never
seen the future SO promising for the
Democratic party in this city as it is at
present. Regarding these so-called ru-
mors about an opposition movement I can
say right here that to my knowledge
there is no action whatever back of
them"
The business men of the city will flock
to Mr.. Lankering's support. They have
already signified their intention of organ
izing a committee of $50 in his behalf.
but by request they have postponed any
demonstration until after the primaries.
Lawyer William Hurley will be opposed
by Philip Daab, Jr., for the assembly
nomination. Daab says he will not give
up the fight.

PROCLAMATION.

BY the President of the United States
of America
A PROCLAMATION.
A terrible bereavement has befallen our
people. The President of the United
States has been struck down; crime
committed not only against the Chief
Magistrate, but against every law abiding
and liberty loving citizen.
President Mckinley crowned a life of
largest love for his fellow men, of most
earnest endeavor for their welfare, by a
death of Christian fortitude; and both the
way in which he lived his life and the
way in which in the supreme hour of
trial he met his death, will remain for
ever a precious heritage of our people.
1t is meet that we, as a nation, express
our abiding love and reverence for his
life, our deep sorrow for his untimely
death.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States of Amer
lea, do appoint Thursday next, September
nineteenth the day on which the body of
the dead President will be laid in its last
earthly resting place as a day of mourn
ing and prayer throughout the United
States 1 earnestly recommend all the
people to reaSSemble on that day IN Inelr
respective places of divine worship, there
to bow down to submission to the will
of Almighty God. and to pay out of full
hearts their homage of love and reverence
to the great and good President whose
death has smitten the nation with bitter
grief.
In witness whereof l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, the
fourteenth day of September, A. D. one
thousand nine hundred and one, and of
the independence of the United States the
one hundred and twenty-sixth.

PROCLAMATION

The dreaded event has come and ma
ton mourns The mad deed of an enemy
of mankind has ended the life of a soldier,
a statesman and a Christian.
Treason has done it's worst A peoples
chosen ruler sleeps the sleep that knows
not breaking. Henceforth the life of
William Mckinley, President of the Unit
ed States, is a memory. But, as on the
pages of an open book, to be read Of ali
men are written the deeds of one, in
youth Drawing the dangers of battle and
offering his life as a ready sacrifice for
his country; in the years of manhood,
serving the people long, earnestly and uc-
selfishly he lived to see the fulfillment of
his hopes coming nearer. He thought not
of the hatred of any, and yet, in the full
ness of his honors, strong and well be-
loved, his last public words were those of
hope and good will. He fell suddenly as
in the twinkling of an eye. Horror stirs
our souls and grief lays its hold upon us,
but the life of William Mckinley and his
gentleness heroism and undaunted cour-
age when death drew near, endear him to
the hearts of his countrymen. His MEM
ory wills abide for generations to come. In
the hope that his death may strengthen
the lie OIL the UdIlOll, anu lIletl ne, III
whose hands are all events, may watch
over US as a people and keep our rulers
from all harm and that he may be wit
ness to our grief for our President dead
I, Foster M. Voorhees,, Governor of New
Jersey, do hereby recommend that the
public buildings be draped in mourning
and the flags thereon be placed at half
staff for thirty days and that on Thurs
day, the nineteenth day of September,
nineteen hundred and one, the day on
which the body of the dead President will
be laid in it's last resting place, the people
of this State do cease, so far as they can
from their usual business and in their
usual places of worship gather together
for prayer and other appropriate services.
at the hour of eleven o'clock in the fore
noon of that day.

ICE INJUNCTION CASE
N. j. Co. Wants German Restrained
for Going Over Old Route.

The argument over the Injunction pro-
ceedings brought by the New Jersey ice
Company to restrain Frederick German,
of this city, from serving ice on route
uptown, was concluded this morning be-
fore Vice Chancellor Stevenson, who will
give his decision next week.
Ex-senator William Brinkerhoff, for the
ice company, said that Germans pretense,
after selling out to the company, that he
was selling on the same route solely as a
driver for another concern was a fraud.
He had transferred his equipment and
business to the company for cash and
then proceeds to go over the same ground.
German contended that it was his
brother that sold out to the company and
he was only a driver for him.
''Oh, yes" said Mr.. Brinkerhoff. that
is a common practice. Sell out your busi-
ness and agree not to begin again on the
same territory. When you get the cash
start in again on your wife's or somebody
else's name. 1t is a cheat, fraud"

CzOLGOSz'S INDIC TMENT

A dispatch from Buffalo says:-Leon f.
Czolgosz will be indicted today for the
murder of President Mckinley. Sub
poenaes have been issued to twenty five
eye-witnesses of the shooting to appear
this morning. 1t is expected that all the
evidence will be presented and the indict-
ment signed before noon.
County Judge Emory will receive the
special report of the Grand Jury. 1t is
said that Richard Crowley, of Lockport,
once a member of Congress, and promi
nent and distinguished in the law, will
be assigned to defend the assassin if he
will accept the appointment.
Czolgosz first knew that his bullet had
killed the President when he heard the
funeral dirge yesterday morning. The
assassin had been removed from Police
Headquarters to the County Jail and was
within two hundred feet of the body of
his victim as it lay in state in the City
Hall.
Superintendent Bull decided upon the re-
moval of Czolgosz, fearing a demonstra-
ton when it became necessary to take the
prisoner to court to plead to the indict-
ment. He was disguised in the uniform
of a policeman, and, surrounded by a
squad of men similarly attired, walked
out of Police Headquarters to a waiting
carriage and was driven to the JAIL
Sheriff Samuel Caldwell was expecting
his prisoner The street in front of the
Jail was deserted Czolgosz, in hollow
square of bluecoats, marched up the
steps The big iron door swung open.
He passed in. Half a dozen deputies
grabbed him, took off his coat and hat
and passed him rather roughly through
the gates of two steel fences into the big
corridor of cells.
Czolgosz was asked today by the
Sheriff if he wanted to engage lawyer.
He knew at this time that he was MUIR
dcrer for he had guessed that the sounds
he heard were those of McKinley's fun
eral.
NO said he; 81 don't want a lawyer.
I'm going to plead guilty"
OF course Czolgosz cannot plead gull
ty. and will have lawyer assigned to
defend him.
The Jail is connected with the City
Hall by an underground passage which
has not been used for years. Through
this .cobwebbed tunnel Czolgosz will be
taken to the basement of the City Hall
when he pleads to the Indictment.
The stairway up which he will go to
the county court room will be guarded
by two hundred policemen. Few persons
will be admitted to the City Hall. The
assassin will run the gauntlet of the pub
lie only for the minute it will take him
