Assassin is Arrested.
The assailant, who says he is Leon
CZolgosz, was arrested Immediately
and the police of the entire country
at once begun the search to establish
his identity. 1t was soon learned he
came from Cleveland and subsequently
he confessed he was an anarchist and
a disciple of Emma Goldman. The
startling attack on the president took
place while the president was eX-
changing pleasant greetings with visit
ors to the exposition. Many hundred
people had shaken hands with the
president, one of the last being burly
colored man. He murmured his ac-
know,edgments of the honor and
moved on to make way for a heavily
built young fellow about 20 years old
who was slowly following him in the
long line. There was nothing to mark
him from the thousands around him,
except that he carried handkerchief
in his hand and even that, perhaps.
was scarce worthy of note. for the
building wasessmall and crowded. the
weather was sdltry and thousands of
handkerchiefs were in constant reuui-
sition. The young man moved rapidly
to position Immediately in front of
the president, so close that he could
have shaken his hand AS he had
done SO many hundreds of times in the
preceding half hour, Mr. Mckinley
bowed, smiled genially and extended
his hand. But the young man did not
grasp it. So quickly that the watch
full eyes of the presidents bodyguard
had no hint of the menace in his
movement, he raised the hand in
which the handkerchief was held and
fired two shots at the president. The
handkerchief had covered a revolver.
which he had carried thus openly
through the crowd.
AssaiIant Quickly Seized.
At the sound of the shots Detective
Ireland of the secret service force
leaped upon the man like a tiger and
close behind him came the colored
man who had just shaken hands with
the president. While they struggled
with him on the floor President Nc
Kinley took a step backward and was
instantly clasped in the arms of De-
tective Gerry, another member of his
bodyguard. The president did not fall,
nor did he reel, although both bullets
had struck him. Half turning his head
to the officer, he asked:
Am l shot?" Evidently he had
been so stunned with surprise that he
had not felt the impact of the bullets.
While he was speaking the officer and
Secretary Cortelyou had been leading
him backward to chair and had torn
open his vest. Blood was on his shirt
front and Detective Gerry, answering
his question, said:
al fear you are, Mr.. President.
Secretary Cortelyou sank on one
knee beside the presidents chair and
gazed anxiously into his face.

s'Do not be alarmed" said the presi-
dent. ''it is nothing"
His head sank forward into his
hands moment and then he raised it

Decisive Action by the Cuban COnsti-
tutiOnal Convention.

|, Havana, Jan. 30.-The Cuban consti-
tutional convention voted by a large
majority to insert a clause in the con-
stitution allowing universal suffrage
Senior Aleman said it was a right de-
mand by the Cubans and that the con-
vention would not be dealing fairly
with the people If it failed to accord
this right. Senior Berriel insisted that
the question was not a constitutional
question and should be left for future
legislation.
Senior Sanguily said the uneducated
class was quite ae capable as the mid
die classes when it came to a question
of choosing legislators. He reminded
the convention that the people had the
right Of universal suffrage under Span
ish autonomy, but never abused it.

Of the secrecy of correspondence guar

rights outlined in the third section
should be imperative was added and

SETENIY-FIVE ANIMALS lost.
Frank G. Bostyvick Loses All bnt "a Few
Members of His 1900"

| Baltimore, Jan. 30.-With pitiful
screams of fright and groans of pain
the seventy-fve or more animals of all
| descriptions confined in cages at Frank
| c. Bostock's "Zoo," which was in
winter quarters in the old Cyclirama
building in this city were roasted to
death tonight. Fire, which probably
originated from a badly insulated cleo
trio wire on the outside Of the building
caused the confiagration which in an
incredibly short time enveloped the en-
tire structure. The flames spread so
rapidly that it was impossible for the
attendants to rescue the helpless ami
mails, and with the exception of one ele-
plant, one camel. two donkeys and
pack of hounds the entire herd was lost.
The fire was discovered at 10:4O D. M,
few minutes after the evening per-
formance had ceased. Twenty minutes
after the fire was discovered the entire
building, which was constructed almost
entirely Of wood, was a mass of flames.
Mr. Bostock estimates his loss on ami
mails at about 100000. The owners Of
the building could not be found tonight
but it could be duplicated for $4,000 or
$4,000 probably
