AT PRESIDENTS CHURCH
EEV, DR. KAYLOR AX ADVOCATE
OF LYNCH LAW.
Resolutions Adopted by the Congrc
sration Services In GhuEClies,of
,&berCitles7 C '
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. "The exigen
cies of life are such that no man. living
can count upon the continuance of ex
istence for any length of time. Among
these exigencies are disease, accident and
the bullet of the assassin such as we
nave heard of In the past 48 hours. That
occurrence at Buffalo Indicates that no
man Is sate from the shaft of death. It
Is very difficult to get.awaj. from" It, and
Tvhile I have ever been loyal to the law
and have ever conu-nded for Ifs strict
enforcement. I -must say that the affair of
4 o'clock Friday has almost converted me
into 'un advocate of lynch law. Surely
there "was no occasion, no reason for
that dreadful deed, and whether the work
of a sane man or a lunatic, there can oe
no justification for it."
The above extract from the sermon of
Dr. R. H. Naylor, presiding elder of the
"Washington district, was the only direct
reference made In the regular sermon
preached today at the Metropolitan Meth
odist Episcopal Church, w"hich is the
cHurch President McKInley attends when
In Washington. The sermon was brief and
the service was converted into a gather
' ing of sympathy for the President. Of
the several prayers all were supplications
for the early restoration to health of the
President, of praise for his personality
and admonition to Mrs. McKInley to
stand firm in this trying time.
When the regular service had been con
cluded the congregation, which was large,
transformed Itself into a mass meeting,
and mpon motion of Judge. T. H. Ander
son, of the District Court, by a standing
vote directed that the following expres
sion of the sense of the congregation be
sent to the President:
"The board of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and congregation assembled ex
tend to you and your devoted wife the
deepest sympathy, and arncfitly pray that
God In his great mercy may comfort and
sustain you, and spare jour valued and
useful life to the church and Nation."
, The,,, message -was signed by all the
members' of iie "official board.. The adop-i
tion of this resolution was followed by
remarks by 'several of the leading mem
bers of the church, all filled with senti
ments of the deepest regret for the Buf
falo tragedy, and highest praise for the
President, as a man and a member of
their congregation.
When the meeting finally adjourned the
members of the congregation gathered
about the altar, exchanging condolences
and regrets. These expressions, how
ever, were not entirely harmonious, for
mingled with the general conversation
were remarks In deprecation of Naylor's
reference to the summary punishment
of the President's assailant. It was char
acterized and condemned by some as-open
advocacy of lynch law. On the other
h-knd, there were many who took occa
sion to express to Dr. Naylor their com
plete endorsement of his position. He did
not for a moment seem disposed to change
his attitude. He said to those with whom
he ppoke:
"If I had been there I would have
blown the scoundrel 'to atoms If I had had
a pistol." . e
Dr. Bristol, the pastor of the church,
is in London attending the sessions of
Ecumenical Conference.
,ATnonjj thQFe -vrho spoke In the congre
gational meeting were Judge Anderson,
Judge A. D. Lynch, Rev. J. D. Croissant
ghd Dr. Naylor. Ju'dge Anderson ppoke of
The sorrow felt by the congregation, but
- deprecated any sentiment which would
seem to lend Influence o the summary
and speedy punishment of the' author of
the attempt upon the President's life.
Notwithstanding the moral sense of the
world had been aroused by the awful
crime, he was .sure, he said, the law would
, be vindicated and the National sense of
order and justice maintained. He felt, as
Hd others, that if ever a crime had been
committed which deserved summary pun-
isjiment, this onedid, but he still con
tended for orderly conduct and a main
tenance of equipoise.
Judge Lynch and Mr. Croissant eulo
gized the President in very high terms,
the former saying that he stood second
alone to the Creator. Dr. Croissant saw
the finger of God in the tragedy. "God,"
he said, "has something to do in this mat-'
ter. Something will be accomplished
through" the assassin's bullet, If the
crime results in the abolition of anarchy
on American soil, our beloved President
will not have been shot in vain."
This, sentiment was greeted with ap
plause, as were several others in the same
vein by this speaker:
3ffr. Naylor In his address In the meet
ing did not repeat the sentiment which
he had expressed in his sermon. He
merely remarked In his later address that
he was not surprised at the Intensity of
feeling on the part of the congregation,
for it was universal throughout the Na
tion. He declared that Csolgosz had been
born without conscience and that he teas
ready for any bloody thing that might
turn up. "But our mission," he said, "Is
not for the dead, but with the living.
William McKInley is not dead, nor will
he die.". ,
. One of the leaders of the church In his
prayer asked for mercy for the assassin,
but he coupled his petition with the as
sertion that he was the smallest being
that, ever had been created and he ex
pressed the opinion that if he did not
"find mercy in heai'en he never would
eecurj it on earth.
. ,- AT'SEW YORK CHURCHES.
All Denominations Prayed for the
President's Recovery.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. Not a church
service was held in New Tork City or its
1 environs today at. which prayers were not
offered for the recovery of President Mc
lyinley. .And coupled with these suppll-
cations was a strong undercurrent of
, thanksgiving that the tone of the dis
patches from Buffalo were, of an encour
aging character. .
There was no concerted action In this
this matter by the churches, other than
I that called fprth by Mayor Van Wyck's
proclamation of Saturday, calling on the
pastors of- churches of all denominations
to direct their services with special refer
ence to the suffering President, In the
JProtestant Episcopal churches, almost
without exception, the full text of the
Jlany of general supplication was read
and' the name .of President McKInley was
inserted in the general prayer for the
sick. In- all the Roman Ctholic churches
a special uniform prayer was offered at
every mass.. In. .a majority of the pulpits
those occupying them took as their theme
the attempt on the life of Mr. McKInley,
and in almost every case some reference
was made to the tragedy, either In the
sermon itself or In a prelude. In some
instances demand was made for meas
ures, ot suppression against -the anarchistic
propaganda which was generally held re
sponsible for the deed of CzolgOsz.
Tomorrow (Monday) wilIT witness an
other session of prayer and pleading. In
the afternoon the children of the public
schools -of this city, and Brooklyn, to the
number ,Of hundreds of thousands, will
follow the instructions of the president
of the Board of Education, and under
the lead of their teachers will hold a
special session of .prayer for President Mc
KInley. At Old Trinity Church today Rev. Alfred
L. Griffin. ,in addition to referring to
Mr. .McKinley "in the. prayer for persons
under afllJotion. included .the .president's
wjerand this was the case in mostpf the
churches. The keynote of the sermons
may be -gathered, -fwm these words used
bMr-;-GrJfnac-. . .. . .- , .,
"The whole Nation, aye, the whole
world, today Is watching at the bedside
of a President whom It has learned to re
gard as just and true. We are under the
shadow" of a great anxiety, overwhelmed
by a great calamity. It is to God. that the
people turn at such a time. In him lies
the power and strength to heal the sick.
May it be his will to restore to us our
President In life and strength."
Rev. Howard Agnew Johnson, of the
Madison-Avenue Presbyterian Church, In
a sermon based on Gideon as an Israelit
lsh leader, had this to say of Mr. McKIn
ley: "Thus he (Gideon) resembles our own
great leaders, Washington, Jefferson,
Jadtson, Lincoln; most conspicuous of all,
and last, but not least, William McKInley,
the man whose soul Is now hovering be
tween life and death, the man whose
name will gp down to posterity identified
with the movement which has made our
republic Into an empire, though still re
taining the form of Republican govern
ment." Rev. Hugh Black, dssoclate pastor ot
Free St. George's Church, Edlnborough,
Scotland, was in the pulpit of the Fifth
A'venue Presbyterian Church today. As
a prelude to his sermon he said:
"I feel that I am called upon to ex
press somewhat of your feelings and your
sympathy, and to lead your prayers for
President McKInley, who Is the victim of
such a dastardly crime. Though a strang
er to your country, it is easy for me to
do this, since It needs no local knowledge
of policies, but merely the expression of
the universal heart of man. As ror tne
J -deed Itself, the whole civilized world.
must pronoiince abhorrence not only of
the act, but of the detestable principles
which Inspired it. Nowhere outside of
America, moreover, will sorrow be keener
or prayer be more fervent than in Great
Britain."
Preceding the prayer for the President
at St. Patrlck'9 Cathedral, Father Dyer
said:
"As you are aware that a great calam
ity has befallen the Nation during the
last few days in an attempt on the life
of Its Chief Executive, and as It Is of
vital Importance that he should again be
able to continue an administration which
has brought so much of happiness and
prosperity to this country, your prayers
are requested for his speedy restora
tion."
Father Ducey, of St. Leo's (Roman
Catholic), In the course of extended re
marks on the tragedy at Buffalo, said:
"God grant that the life of Mr. Mc
KInley may be spared, and that he may
be restored to health and strength to
bring joy and comfort to his now afflicted
family. I earnestly ask this congregation
to pray fervently to God for his safe re
covery." DEXUXCIATIONS OF ANARCHY.
Bnt One Theme for the Ministers of
Chicago.
CHICAGO. Sept. 8. In every pulpit In
Chicago today, denunciation of anarchy
and Its followers was the theme of the
morning sermon. The Indignation and
horror of the people at the attempt on the
President's life seems to have frozen
even Christian charity, for the prayers
for the speedy recovers' of the Chief Ex
ecutive were followed by tirring de
mands In sermons that anarchy be
stamped out so effectually that not a
vestige be left.
At the First Baptist Church; Rev. P. C.
Henson. excoriated the men who sought
with the assassin's knife or bullet to
remedy wrongs. In tears, but a few
moments before the clergyman was plead
ing fervently that the President's life
might be spared. The great congrega
tion sat Immovable when he raised his
clinched hands to heaven and declared
that anarchists should be driven like
dogs from hole to hole, deprived of free
speech and hunted down like wild beasts.
At Oak Park, the First Congregational
Church was crowded when Rew W. H.
Barton began his sermon. He said that
anarchists, toy the nature of their be
liefs, should not be regarded as citizens
of the United States, but that they should
be looked upon as foes and treated as
such.
In all other churches the clergymen
preached along the same lines. In no
place of worship was heard a single word
in extenuation oft-rhe would-bet assassin's
act In every sermon denunciation of
anarchy "and its believers was the rule.
Governor Xortheote's Proclamation.
ALEXANDRIA BAT, N. Y., Sept. 8.
Governor Yates, of Illinois, said today:
"I am sure Lieutenant-Governor North
cote's proclamation, designating a day
of prayer for the President's , recovery,
will be complied with in every part of
Illinois. President McKlnley's many ad
mirable qualities have so endeared him
to the people of our commonwealth that
his dangerous and possibly fatal Injury
will cause them the most profound and
universal grief."
THE FIRST OPERATION.
Ieft So Need for Another to Follow
Immediately.
BUFFALO, Sept. 8. The Express to
morrow will say, regarding the first op
eration performed on the President:
"The operation performed at the emer
gency hospital left no need for a second
operation to follow It immediately. The
full details of the operation have hereto
fore not been known. It was performed
by Dr. Matthew D. Mann. His first as
sistant was Dr. Herman Mynter. His sec
ond assistant was Dr. John Parmenter.
His third assistant was Dr. Lee, of St.
Louis, who happened to be on the expo
sition grounds at the time of the tragedy
and placed his services at the disposal of
the President Dr. Nelson W. Wilson
noted the time of the operation and took
the notes. Dr. Eugene Wasdin, of the
Marine Hospital, gave the anesthetic. Dr.
Rixyy. rrlveu at the latter part of the
operation and held the light. Dr. Parke
arrived at the close of the operation. Dr.
Mann wielded the knife.
"Tho operation lasted almost an hour.
A cut about five inches long was made.
It was found necessary to turn up the
stomach of the President In order to trace
the course of the bullet. The bullet's open
ing in the front wall of the stomach was
small, and 4t was carefully closed with
sutures, after which a search was made
for the hole in the back wall of the stom
ach. This hole where the bullet went out
of the stomach was larger than the hole
in the front wall of the stomach, in fact, It
was a wound over an inch in diameter,
jagged and ragged. It was sewed up in
three layers.
"In turning up the stomach, an act that
was absolutely necessary, and was per
formed by Dr. Mann with rare skill, the
danger that some of the contents of the
stomach might get Into the abdominal
cavity, and, as a result, cause peritonitis.
It so happened that there was very little
is the President's stomach at the time of
tho operation. Moreover, subsequent de.
velopments tend to show that this fea
ture of the operation was grandly suc
cessful, and that none of the contents of
the stomach entered the abdominal cavity.
If any of the contents had entered the
cavity, the probability Is that by now per
itonitis would have set in.
"In this connection, it Is of Interest to
know that some experienced surgeons do
not mind the temperature at all in not
ing the bulletins of the President's condi
tion, in a big operation like this it is
very common for the temperature to re
main around 102. or. even 103. But if tne
temperature had dropped and the pulse
had accelerated, it would have been a
danger signal of peritonitis setting in.
It is of interest also to know that after
an operation of this kind the peristaltic,
or compressive, action In the abdominal
cavity ceases or becomes retrograde.
After the operation, as soon as the pa
tient passes anything, even gas, through
the rectum, it is a sign that peristaltic
action has recommenced normally, and
that the danger of peritonlltis Is prac
tically over. After an operation such as
was performed on the President the sur
geons wish to know at once even when
gas is passed, for they take It then that
the patient Is comparatively safe from
peritonitis. The point of tremendous im
portance in connection with these facts
Is that the President yesterday passed gas,
and later there was a further movement.
Connecting this fact with the bujletins Is
sued by the surgeons, the basis for hope
seems stronger,"
HOPES HAVE REVIVED
(Continued from .First Page.)
fact, have fairly -overwhelmed Secretary
Cortelyou. Two more White House sten
ographers have been sent for and upon
their arrival, perhaps tomorrow, some of
the more Important messages will be made
piiblic. Almost every government In the
world has been heard from, most of the
crowned heads of Europe sending personal
messages. Among the latter are King Ed
ward, Emperor William, the Kings of Por
tugal, Italy and Sweden and the Sultan
of Turkey. President Loubet, of the Re
public of France, has also cabled his
sympathy direct. One of the most touch
ing messages thus far received was one
from Madame La Borl, the wife of Maltre
La Borl, who defended Dreyfus in his
famous trial at Rennes.
Mrs. McKInley continues to bear up
bravely and Jier fortitude under the clr
stances is regarded as remarkable. One
of her dearest and closest friends, Mrs.
Rand, of Washington has arrived here and
will -probably remain with her during
this trying period.
Confidence In Cortelyon.
Secretary Cortelyou, In whose hands the
management of everything seems to be,
was able to take some rest this morning
for the first time since the tragedy.
The great confidence which the Presi
dent has In his Secretary could .not be
more strikingly illustrated than at the
exposition hospital when he was about
to be placed upon the operating table.
The President realized that the sooner
the operation was performed the better,
and he Was perfectly willing to submit
himself to the knife. His only solicitude
was as to the competency of the sur
geons who were to perform the operation.
Just before he was placed upon the taolo
he called Secretary Cortelyou to him and
asked whether the surgeons were all
right. Cortelyou assured him that he had
made inquiries and that they were re
puted to be among the mot skillful In
their profession. The President accepted
the assurance Instantly and Immediately
announced that he was ready.
Scene Abont the Mllburn House.
The scene about the Mllburn residence
this morning was calm and peaceful. The
Sabbath had dawned with a blazing sun
and a cool northwest wind. About the
adjoining streets the soldier guards with
fixed bayonets paced their beats, and op
posite, oh the vacant lot where four tents
have been erected for the use of the
newspaper men and the telegraph com
panies, a group oi reporters with an at
tendant throng of mossenger boys talked
in suppressed tones.
At the residence, except for a solitary
policeman at the main entrance, there
was no sign of life until S o'clock, when
General Carrington, of Massachusetts, ar
rived to inquire of the President's condi
tion. Soon afterward3 Di"s. Park, Was
din and Mann arrived for the morning
consultation, Then 27 men of the Four
teenth Infantry, with two Sergeants and
two Corporals, under the command of
Second Lieutenant Hamilton, marched up
to relieve the night detail.
While the physicians were in consulta
tion, Elmer Dovener, Senator Hanna's pri
vate secretary, appeared with a message
from the Senator asking for news. Dr.
Rlxey sent him a very encouraging mes
sage to the effect that the President had
had a very good night and that none of
the unfavorable symptoms which were
dreaded so much had appeared.
The First Bulletin.
The 9 o'clock bulletin was by far the
most encouraging- statement trhlch had
yet emerged from the sickroom, and the
face of the attendant who brought it
across to the newspaper tent fairly
beamed as he handed It to the reporters.
"It is good news," said he.
Eagerly It was' scanned, and Its confi
dent tone aroused high hopes. The fact
that the physicians had officially pro
claimed that there were no Indications of
peritonitis dispelled any misgivings that
may have been harbored that perhaps the
physicians were concealing something.
Mr. Mllburn soon afterward still further
increased the cheerful feeling by a per
sonal statement to the effect that the
physicians were greatly encouraged as a
result of this consultation. His manner
and his smiling, happy countenance be
spoke the joy which he unmistakably
felt
Before 9:30 this morning silent crowds
had congregated at the ropes far down
the intersecting streets. Inquiries for
news from the sickroom were made In
whispers, as If the least audible sound
might disturb the country's patient a
third of a mile away. The reassuring re
port that there had been no change for
the worse and that the doctors were en
couraged was received with manifesta
tions of Joy. Faces brightened and there
was much thanksgiving. The majority
of the inquirers, after receiving the cheer
ing news, turned back Into the heart of
the city to carry the glad tidings to
their homes, but many remained at the
ropes, taking up their positions as if they
Intended to remain there for the remain
der of the dav. A few who could fur
nish a reasonable pretext were allowed
to pass the first line of sentries to the
second rope, a block from the Mllburn
residence, and by 10 o'clock several hun
dred people were at the Inner lines on
either side.
Mrs. McKInley Benrs Up.
Mrs. McKInley passed a comfortable
night and shows no signs of breaking
down. The whole atmosphere about the
Mllburn residence Is perceptibly brighter.
The X-ray machine arrived shortly after
10 o'clock, and a few minutes afterward.
Dr. Charles McBurney, the famous New
York surgeon, drove hastily up to the
residence. Secretary Cortelyou and Mr.
Mllburn had met him at the station.
The President, who was free from pain
for the first few hours after the shoot
ing, has suffered considerably since and
when unconscious or semi-conscious
moans as if in agony. When completely
conscious, however, he bravely gives no
sign of suffering.
Dr. McBurney Arrives.
Dr. McBurney was at Stockbridge,
Conn., when the summons to come to
Buffalo reached him, and he came di
rect from there. It is explained that Dr.
McBurney's appearance in the case has
no immediate significance and does not
in any way reflect upon the attending
physicians. It was simply desired that
the best talent in the country in medi
cine and surgery should be present in
order that in the event of a fatal termi
nation of the President's wound, there
could be no criticism and his family and
friends would have nothing with which
to reproach themselves. Dr. McBurney
is considered one of the leading sur
geons of the country, and his reputation Is
world wide. His counsel is desired, al
though the President's advisers have the
fullest confidence In Dr. Parke, who also
enjoys the highest reputation as a sur
geon. Indeed, he Is considered by far
the ablest surgeon in this part of the
state.
Secretary Wilson, Senator Propter of
Vermont and Major-General Brooke were
admitted to the Mllburn residence at about
11 o'clock, and appeared greatly encour
aged by the news they received. Secre
tary Cortelyou sauntered over to the
newspaper reservation about 11:30, and
when questioned stated emphatically that
he felt much relieved that no unfavorable
symptoms had appeared. He said the
bulletin Issued this morning was without
doubt the most favorable yet Issued.
Mayor Dlehl, of Buffalo, today received
the following cablegram from Frederlco
Elgura, Mayor of Lima, Peru:
"Learned with greatest Indignation of
the Infamous attempt against the life of
he President. On behalf of municipal
corporation and of all citizens of this
capital beg you to convey to the President
our depeest sympathy and ardent wishes
for speedy recovery."
He also received the following from
Philip C. Hansa, American Consul-Gen-eral
to Mexico:
"Americans and Mexicans await anx
iously news concerning the President.
Please telegraph twice dally at my' ex
pense." Root Brought a Doctor.
Secretary Gage and Secretary Root ar
rived at the Mllburn Teoidence at 11:40, and
were received In the drawing-room by
Secretary Cortelyou. Secretary Root -was
accompanied by his physician. Dr. Dixon,
who came to Buffalo with him from
Southampton.
Senator Fairbanks left the Mllburn home
at 12:40 P. M., and was full of hope. He
said that the physicians feel confident
of the President's condition. Dr. Mc
Burney, after a thorough examination of
the President, reported thathe could not
find a single unfavorable symptom. There
was not the slightest indication of peri
tonitis. This opinion of the famous physi
cian carries much weight
A local physician, a specialist with
whom Dr. Parke consulted, told Repre
sentative Alexander that Dr. Parke was
exceedingly hopeful. He said to Mr. Alex
ander: "I feel certain the President will
get well. This Is not 1831, but 1901, and
great strides have been made In surgery
In the last 20 years."
Vice-President Roosevelt arrived at the
residence at 12:45. He walked over from
the Presbyterian Church on Pennsylvania
street, where he attended service this
morning. He was accompanied by Ansley
Wilcox, whose guest he is. Representa
tive Alexander and Judge Albert Halght
entered Immediately after the Vice-President.
Senator Fairbanks and Senator Hanna
arrived Just before the noon bulletin was
issued, and joined the distinguished com
pany gathering below stairs in the drawing-room.
All were overjoyed when the
good news came down from the sickroom.
The lower temperature and the de
creased pulse were particularly gratifying
and Increased the hope that the crisis
would be safely passed.
Roosevelt nt Church.
The sermon at the First Presbyterian
Church, where Vice-President Roosevelt
was In attendance, made frequent refer
ence to the calamity which had fallen on
the Nation. At Its close the pastor. Dr.
S. Mitchell, delivered a fervent prayer,
In the course of which he said:
"Unite, O God, the hearts of all lovi.s
of righteousness In sternest reprobation of
the anarchic fury of reprobate lives, and
whip from the tempest of public life men
who are willing to temporize with this
madness In city and state."
After a hymn the entire congregation
united in singing the National aUthem.
Shortly after 1 o'clock, Vice-President
Roosevelt and Senator Hanna left the
house. They stopped on the corner to tell
the newspaper men of the high hopes they
had for the President's recovery. Tn
Vice-President said with great emphasis
that he felt satisfied of the President's
recovery, and Senator Hanna interjected
the statement that the President's condi
tion, considering the circumstances, could
not be more favorable. Complications
might arise, said the Senator, but there
was no indication of them up to the
present time.
Bulletins Sot Colored.
Senator Hanna then spoke of the news
paper statement that the reports of the
physicians were being colored and did not
show the President's true condition.
"It is outrageous that such stories
should be circulated," said he. "The phy
sicians are giving the facts to the pub
lic." At this point Vice-President Roosevelt,
with great earnestness, laid his hand upon
the Senator's arm "Senator, let me put
It this way," he said. "The doctors' bul
letins are made with a scrupulous under
statement of the favorablcness of condi
tions, a scrupulous understatement," he
repeated, emphatically, adding emphasis
-filth his uplifted slo-yes,
"That express it well," said Senator
Hanna.
"Yes," continued Mr. Roosevelt, "if
anything, the doctors understate the hope
fulness of the situation."
Mr. Hanna again assented to this state
ment. He added that it took from 48 to
72 hours for -conclusions to be reached
of any absolute conclusive character and
no physician, ( pending suclwa period,
would state absolutely final conclusions.
But for the present, the doctors are In
spired by an Increased effort to give the
best judgment which medical science could
render.
A? Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna
turned to the carriage, an attempt was
made to photograph the Vice-President,
but he turned away hurriedly with a
"No, no," Indicating that it was not tho
time for such scenes.
"The public will be kept fully advised of
the actual condition of the President.
Each bulletin will be prepared, and will
be a full statement of the features of
the case at the hour It is Issued. The
people are entitled to the facts, and shall
have them.
"GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
"Secretary to the President."
This statement is Intended to put at
rest any idea that any official bulletins
underestimate the conditions, and at the
same time to give assurance that those
with the Presiding Intend that the people
shall have the facts.
Robert T. Lincoln- Called.
Robert T. Lincoln, son of President
Lincoln, and ex-Secretary of War, came
from tne Mllburn house soon after Jir.
Roosevelt and Senator Hanna retired. Mr.
Lincoln expressed the same hopeful view
of the situation, and regarded the condi
tion of the patient as altogether favor
able. Shortly after the departure of Vice
President Roosevelt and Senator Hanna,
Secretary Gage, Secretary Root, Secre
tary Hitchcock and Attorney-General
Knox emerged and walked down Delaware
avenue together. All of them share In the
cheerful feeling which prevailed at the
Mllburn house.
"The President is not only doing well."
said the Attorney-General, "but ho gives
promise of doing better."
Each of these members of the Cabinet
was exceedingly optimistic, although ad
mitting the possibility and danger of fu
ture complications.
Moving the President.
There has yet been little discussion of
the place to which President McKInley
will 'be removed, in the event of his con
valescence. The prevailing Impression
seems to be that If he would be moved
shortly he would be taken to Canton, in
stead of Washington?- But If his conva
lescence wero delayed until cooler weath
er sets In, he probably would be taken to
the White House. The opinion of the
physicians would probably govern, how
ever. At 2:30 this afternoon, Mrs. McKInley
went out for a drive. A carriage drove
up to the side entrance. Mrs. McKInley
was assisted into the carriage by Secre
tary Cortelyou. Mrs. Lafayette McWil
Hams, of Chicago, accompanied her. They
drove out Delaware avenue toward the
park. Mrs. McKInley returned at 3:20,
having been out In the sunshine for about
an hour. She seemed refreshed, and It
needed but slight assistance from Mr. Mil
burn to aid her In alighting.
Postmaster-General Smith, accompanied
by ex-Postmaster-General BIssell. of this
city, and Senator Hanna, called shortly
after 3 o'clock. The two former remained
only a short time. When they left, Postmaster-General
Smith expressed great
confidence In the President's ability to pull
through. He said there had been no un
favorable symptoms, and that In another
24 hours the physicians believe the danger
of peritonitis will be passed.
John Scatcherd, a member of the execu
tive committee of the exposition, an
nounced that all bulletins of the Presi
dent's condition 'would be posted hereafter'
at stipulated buildings in the exposition
grounds.
The physicians were in consultation
again at 3:20 o'clock.
Senator Hanna Encouraged.
Major-General Brooke, in command of
the military forces here, and Senator
Hanna came away from the Mllburn house
at 5 o'clock. Senator Hanna said of the
4. o'clock bulletin:
"I want to be conservative, but this bul-.
letin simply adds to my encouragement.
If this continues 24 hours longer, I think
we will have something very satisfactory
from,- the physicians, and as definite' as
human agency can devise. That four
hours of restful sleep the President has
had Is ah evidence of almost normal con
ditions. His mind Js clear and his dis
position cheerful."
After 5 6'clock there was a period of
comparative quiet about the Mllburn
House. The members of the Cabinet and
other distinguished officials, who had been
coming and going throughout the day,
withdrew, as it was understood that no
further bulletin would be Issued until 9
P. M.
As the twilight deepened Into darkness
the lights appeared In the upper cham
bers of the Mllburn House, and the eyes
of the watchers outside 'Were turned "with
anxious Interest in theqe shimmering to-
kens of the watch in and about the sick-
room. All through the day great crowas
had gathered on the .streets, watching the
Mllburn house. But as darkness came
they gradually disappeared. A steady line
of me'n and women cam up to the ropes
to make anxious inquiries.
Shortly before 8 o'clock, Vive-President
Roosevelt, accompanied by Mr. Wllicox,
of Buffalo, called at the Mllburn resi
dence, and remained for a short time in
conversation with Secretary Cortelyou
and those near the President. There was
little additional Information to give them
beyond the 4 o'clock bulletin, and they
came away with the same hopeful and
confident expression as those earlier In the
day.
Senator Hanna has sent telegrams to
his friends in different parts of the coun
try who have appealed to him for news,
saying that the conditions could not be
more favorable. He has, however, thus
far refrained from expressing the definite
opinion that the President would recover,
although both his manner and words in
dicate his confidence in the outcome.
Schley Court May Be Postponed.
A rumor is current that, in view of the
attack upon the President, and the pres
ence here of the chief officials of this
country, the Schley court of Inquiry will
be postponed. No official Information on
the subject is obtainable yet.
The Mllburn house was very quiet to
night, and there were few callers. Among
those who came were Vice-President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Secretary Wil
son, Secretary Hitchcock, Senator Han
na and Captain McWllliams, of Chicago.
Norte of the callers remained very long.
Tonight, like Its predecessor, was very
cold. The weather conditions are regard
ed as very favorable for the President.

FROM KING AND KAISER.
Messages to the President

From
MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO. Sept.
8. Following are the messages from King
Edward and Emperor William:
"Kiel, Sept. 7, 1901 To the President or
the United States, Buffalo Am horrified
beyond words at the dastardly attempt
on your life. My best and warmest good
wishes and most earnest hopes for your

"ICoenlgsburg, Sept. 6, 1901. To the Pres
ident, U. S. A., Buffalo Deeply distressed
by news of tho dastardly attempt on your

ANARCHISM MUST BE SUPPRESSED.
St. Petersbnrs Paper's Comment on
the Attempted Assassination. :
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept, 8. The Novoe
Vremya, referring to the attempted assas-'
glnation of President McKInley, says:
"In the great Republic beyond the sea
a horrible crime has been committed, the
news of which has filled the whole civil
ized world with horror, indignation and
grief. President McKinley was the victim
of one of those stupid crimes which, t'o
.the sname of humanity, continue. The
circumstances augment the horror of the
crime. What happened In Gethsemane 19
centurlei ago Is repeated. This new
Judas kiss has reverberated through the
world. The answer will be only Indignant
contempt.
"The crime of 1SC5 was explained by
political passion. The crime of yesterday
13 wholly Inexcusable. It would seem that
a President chosen by universal suffrage
would be safe amid the people of the
freest country of t'ne world; but no. Amid
the outcasts of humanity are degenerates
,who detest all authority. The criminal
explained all by declaring himself an
anarchist and ha was obviously animated
by the same mot'ives as was the murderer
of Empress Elizabeth of Austria. Anar
chists are iridlfferent as to how the world
regards their crime. They present condi
tions which are Intelligible only to their
own minds. However, such a stave of
things cannot be allowed to continue.
The existing leg'slation against anarchism
Is evidently insufficient to accomplish Its
ends, and it must be reconstituted, be
cause states have the right to enjoy lib
erty and not to be affrighted lest their
tranquility be destroyed at any moment
by some Individual's caprice.
"In view of the Central American com
plications. It was important to tho United
States that the Administrative machine
should be directed by the firm hand of
McKInley, who had consecrated his entire
lire to the service of his country. His
great merit cannot be denied even by t'he
most zealous of his political opponents.
"The United States' misfortune will fill
all states with compassion and, above all,
will find the heartiest condolence in Rus
sia, where the sympathies toward the
over-sea Republic are as deep and con
stant as are the sentiments of respect to
ward the victim of the dreadful crime."
The Russian newspapers, like these of
other countries, are Intensely absorbed in
the anarchist side of the attempted as
sassination of President McKinley, and
they express strong regard for the United
States and the victim of the outrage.
United States Ambassador Tower has
been greatly gratified by the spontaneous
demonstrations of sympathy and respect
for President McKinley which have come
from official and unofficial classes.
Queen Mnrfrherltn'n Emotion.
LONDON, Sept. 9. Queen Margherita,
upon hearing the news of the attempt
upon the life of President McKinley, says
the Rome correspondent of the Dally
News, with tears in her eyes, said:
"These things come hardest on the
women, and at least poor Mrs. McKInley,
in her state of health, should have been
spared."
The pope, the Daily News correspond
ent says, also displayed deep emotion,
saying: -
"Oh, how I earnestly pray that he may
escape with his life. These crimes are
the curse of our day. I can only offer
the afflicted victim and his poor wife my
humble '"prayers."
Indignation of Peruvinns.

-THE WORLD HORRIFIED
BUFFALO OUTRAGE DENOUXCED
EVERYWHERE.
Universal Sympathy Evolced for the
Victim of the Crime Comment
of London Papers.
LONDON. Sept. 8. The Sunday papers
all voice the horror and sympathy already
expressed by the dally press. The Sunday
Sneclal. after commenting upon the insane
i aimlessness with which the anarchists
jirnnrpntiv select their victims, says:
"The atrocity of the outrage again
brings before the public the question of
how to deal with anarchists. Scotland
Xard knows a deal more about the Lon
don anarchists than the public realizes.
The police even recognize clubs In which
anarchical doctrines are preached- and
plots hatched. The members of such or
ganizations stamp themselves as outlaws
and tho time has arrived when they
should be treated as such. They are a
source of terrible danger to the communi
ty and should not longer be tolerated."
The Observer says: "It Is gratifying, at
least, to see the universal sympathy the.
crime has evoked for the victim. The
whole world is kin alike today in horror
and in compassion for the American Pres
ident and the American people. Thus It
may be that out of evil good will come
and the nations be drawn into closer bonds
of sympathy."
The following telegram from King Ed
ward, at Fredensburg. to United States
Ambassador Choate. was received at 10
o'clock this evening:
"I rejoice to hear the favorable account
of the President's health. God grant that
his life be preserved.
"EDWARD. REX."
Genuine relief pervades England tonight
over the favorable reports regarding
President McKlnley's condition and the
prospects of his recovery.
Prayers for the recovery of Mr. McKIn
ley were offered in hundreds of British
churches today, notably St. Paul's West
minster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral.
At Rev. F. B. Myers' Church In London,
where there was a large attendance, in
cluding many Americans, the congrega
tion rose and passed a resolution of
sympathy.
Hundreds of callers made Incessant in
quiries throughout the day at the United
States embassy.
King Edward has shown keen anxiety.
His first inquiry, upon being met at
Copenhagen by the Danish royalties, was
for news of the President's condition and
he Immediately dispatched a congratula
tory cablegram to Ambassador Choate.
The Foreign Office and the United States
Embassy aro keeping the King fully In
formed of Mr. McKlnley's condition.
Dispatches are continually arriving from
the chief cities of the world describing
the sympathy excited In high, official cir
cles, the visits to the Embassies and Le
gations, the prayers offered In the
churches and newspaper edltbrials expres
sing indignation at the outrage.
LONDON, Sept. 9. The attack upon
President McKinley completely monopo
lizes the attention of the London news
papers t'hls morning. Page after page is
devoted to long descriptive telegrams
from Buffalo and New York, dispatches
from the Continent describing the effect
of the news there and the opinions of the
press. Every scrap of information- In any
way bearing upon the subject finds a.
prominent p'ave, Tt nlle every American ot
prominence, the delegates to the various
congresses now in session and diplomats
are sought out with a view of obtaining
their opinions. Nothing could have bet
ter displayed the enormously growing In
terest that everything American has for
Europe.
RELIEF IX PARIS.
Favorable News From Buffalo Re
ceived With. Keen Interest.
PARIS, Sept. 8. A great feeling of re
lief is manifest among the Americans in
Paris In consequence of the reassuring
cablegrams from Buffalo regarding Pres
ident McKlnley's condition. The official
advices received by Ambassador Porter
and Consul-General Gowdy, and the In
formation reaching other Americans here
are very meager, and the bulletins com
municated through the Associated Press
are perused with the keenest interest,
and have aroused hope that McKinley will
recover.
United States Senator Lodge, whose in
timate friendship with President McKIn
ley made him most anxious for news, re
mained at his hotel practically all day
long, awaiting responses to inquiries, and
he was much relieved upon receiving a
cablegram from a high official now In
Buffalo, who is in constant touch with
tho doctors, saying he was convinced that
that President would recover.
A number of distinguished Frenchmen
and foreign residents of Paris called at
the American Embassy today and signed
tho register.
The Parisian newspapers continue their
sympathetic articles and as the Matin
remarks, they are unanimous in denounc
ing the outrage and commiserating the
American Nation. "It Is to the honor of
"It Is a crime to experiment with the health of the people," soya Dr. J.
Henri Kessler, manager of the Old St. Louis Dispensary at Portland. '.'If
I did not know positively and abso lutely that my new home treatment
will cure all diseases of men, even when all other methods of treatment
fall. I would consider I was committing a crime to make such a statement
to the public Nothing is so precious to a man as his health nothing so
horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Little Ills. If not promptly
cured. often result In obstinate chronic dlseasca I know that my new dis
covery Is the most marvelous treatment ever known, and I Intend to give
Its benefit to the world. I intend that every man. woman and child who
comes for treatment shall have It. I propose to tell the s'ek. absolutely
free of charge, If they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather
be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Craieus.'
The above are remarkable words, but those who know Dr. Kessler, and
have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness.
He restores the wasted power of sexual manhood.
He also cures to stay cured VARICOCELE. STRICTURE. SYPHDLTIC
.BLOOD POISON. NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY and all associate disease
and weaknesses of man. To these maladies alone he nas earnestly devoted
25 of the best years of his life. He makes no charge for private consulta
tion, and gives each patient a legal contract In writing to hold for his prom
ise. Is it not worth your while to Investigate a cure that has made life
anew to multitudes of men? If you cannot call at his office, write him your
symptoms fully. His home treatment by correspondence Is always success
ful. Address, always enclosing 10 2-cent stamps:

The Temps tonight, however, in an in
teresting article referring to President
McTCinley and Vice-President Roosevelt,,
says: "McKinley is not a Lincoln, and It
can confidently be said that Roosevelt
under no circumstances, will be a John
son, whose Presidency became a govern

War had come to an enu.
Today's confirmation of the Buffalo out
rage ha3 stirred the police here into ac
tion, particularly in relation to the Czar's
visit, The Ministry of the Interior has
telegraphed Instructions to the special
commissariat In the provinces to exerche
the closest vigilance upon anarchists. Spe
cial detectives also have been, dispatched
to the Industrial centers to aid thf police
In watching anarchists and other agi
tators. Any anarchist who is considered
dangerous or whose movements are sus
picious will be taken Into custody. All
the commissaries possoss portraits and
descriptions of the annrchlsts known to
the International police. Several Italian
anarchists, who have been especially shad
owed, left Paris recently, but all but two
of them have now been located, and the
police expect to unearth them very
quickly. '
A dispatch from Dunkirk, received to
day, reports that much anxiety prevails
there, and that it is feared the Buffalo
outrage will lead the Czar to postpone or
abandon his visit to- France. This im
pression, however, is absolutely unjusti
fied, as is proved by the fact that In
quiries In Paris Indicate that no change
in the arrangement of the Czar's visit
has ever been considered. It ia the gener
al feeling that the abandonment of tho
proposed Visit by Emperor Nicholas
would be too obvious a display of the
white feather, even if apprehensions of
another outrage existed.
Anarchism Denounced In Vienna.
VIENNA. Sept. 8. The Vienna news
papers express themselves strongly In
denunciation of anarchism. The Neua
Weiner Tageblatt says: "The country
In its bitterness will probably take ener

The Weiner Tageblatt says that Mr.
McKinley is the first statesman of Amer
ica, and perhaps the greatest and most
influential in the world since Bismarck.

VIENNU. Sept. S. The Neuo Wolner
