THE ASSASSIN COLLAPSED. Czolgosz Beginning to Realize His Position- Strong Guard Over Prisoner. Auburn, N. Y., Sept 30 —4.eon F. Czolgosz, assassin of President Mc Kinley, in |the custody of the sheriff of Erie county and 21 deputies, ar rived in Auburn at 3:15 a. in. The prison is only about 50 yards from rhe depot. Awaiting the arrival of the train there was a crowd of about 200 people. Either from fear of the crowd, which was not very demon strative, or from sight of the prison, Czolgosz’s legs gave out, and two dep uties were compelled to almost carry the man into the prison. Inside the gates his condition became worse and he was dragged up the stairs and into the main hall. He was placed in a sitting posture on the bench while the handcuffs were being removed, but he fell over and moaned and groaned, evincing the most abject terror. As soon as the handcuffs were unlocked the man was dragged into the principal keeper’s office. As in the case of all prisoners the officers immediately proceeded to strip him and put on the new suit of clothes. During this operation Czolgosz cried and yelled, making the prison corri dors echo with evidence of his terror. The prison physician examined the man and ordered his removal to the cell in the condemned row, which he will occupy until he is taken to the electric chair. The doctor declared that the man was suffering from fright and terror, but that he was shamming td some extent. The collapse of the murderer was a surprise to everyone, as he showed no signs of breaking down while en route. He ate heartily of sandwiches and smoked cigars when not eating. He talked some and expressed regret for his crime. He said he was es pecially sorry for Mrs. McKinley. Czolgosz reiterated his former state ment that he had no accomplices in the crime and declared that he had never heard of the man under arrest in St. Louis who claimed to have tied the handerchief over his hand conceal ing the pistol which he used. He says the handkerchief was not tied. He went behind the temple of music, arranged the handkerchief so as to hide the weapon, and then took bis place in line. He sent to his father the following message: "Tell him I am sorry I left him such a bad name.” Czolgosz was in normal condition again this afternoon. There are five cells for condemned men in the pris on, and Czolgosz was placed in the only cell now vacant, so that all five are now occupied. Two keepers are constantly on guard in the room, but to guard against any attempt on the part of the prisoner to commit sui cide, two more guards have been add ed, and one will constantly sit in front of Czolgosz’ cell and will have a key so that any attempt at self-de struction may be frustrated at once. FIRED ON BY POLICEMEN. Ten Strike Sympathizers Attacked Non-union Teamsters. San Francisco, Sept. 30.—Bullets flew thick and fast at Fourth and Folsom streets this marning,resulting the serious wounding of Herman Kamlade and the slight wounding of John Wilson. The shooting wan done by special policemen, who had been quarreling with non-union teamsters. They allege that while going to work they were attaoked by 10 strike sympathizers, who proceeded to give them a beating. Both men allege that they were knocked down, and a general struggle followed, but that they soon regained their feet and then, backing up to the buildings at the spot, drew their revolvers and opened fire. Wilson was shot in the shoulder. Both men declare they were innocent spectators. Oregon Short Line’» New Road. Salt Lake City, Sept. 30.—The Salmon River Railroad, a 90-mile branch of the Oregon Short Line, and penetrating a rich mineral belt of Central Idaho, will, it is announced, lie completed September 30 and train service will be inaugurated almost im mediately.

Guayaquil, Ecuador, Sept. 30.— The fire Wednesday night, which de stroyed 11 blocks in the south end of the city, involving a loss of about 1,000,000 sucres, has caused great distress among the poor people who inhabited that quarter.
