Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 9.
‘‘God’s contribution to the American
people will be the sparing of the Pres
ident’s life.” As the evening shadows
were falling to-night Jdhn G. Milburn,
president of the Pan-American Expo
sition, reverently uttered these words
as he stood before the house in which
the nation’s patient was fighting so
bravely with death.
And all who hdve been at the Mil
burn residence to-day reflect the view
that the battle will be won and the
prayers of the world will be answered.
Since last night not an unfavorable
symptom has appeared. “Evefy hour had
a victory- Faith in the outcome grows
stronger and stronger and hope mounts
higher and higher, until in the minds
of some the danger of all future com
plications is brushed aside and hope
has become conviction.
Indeed, many of the President’s
friends seem possessed with a super
stitious confidence in the President’s
recovery which nothing but an abso
lute change for the worse can shake.
And the basis for the confidence that
is expressed is solid. There has been
nothing but improvement, gradual and
slow, but steady improvement. Every
bulletin, every prix-ate and public word
of the physicians in attendance
breathes encouragement. The reports
the physicians have given out are facts
as they exist from a scientific stand
point, unmixed with sentiment.
Not Yet Out of Danger.
Still, that the President is by no
means out of danger is the verdict of
each of them. Not one of them will
risk his professional reputation with a
statement that the President will live.
All they will say is that with every
hour the danger of complications from
peritonitis or blood poisoning de
creases. Dr. Mcßurney, the most em
inent of the phyisicians in attendance,
expressed the opinion that if the im
provement continues it will be a week
yet before the Prsident can be pro
nouncd out of danger and convalescent.
And some of his colleagues, like Dr.
Mann, place, the limit of danger still
further away.
The fear of peritonitis, it can- be said
positively, has well nigh disappeared.
With the expiration of the seventy-two
hour period at 4 o’clock this afternoon
danger from that source was
almost gone. The President him
self has been cheerful all day
and has expressed confidence
in his recovery. To-day he asked for
a Morning paper, but this, of course,
had to be denied him. It is with some
difficulty that he can be restrained
from talking, and Col. Myron T. Her
rick of Cleveland is quoted as author
ity for the statement that he has
spoken at intervals of several things he
proposes to do in the future.
This morning he asked to be allowed
to move his position and when per
mission was given before the attend
ants could move him he changed to the
position he desired without difficulty
or pain. This speaks much for his
strength and spirits.
Mrs. .McKinley Sees Him.
Mrs. McKinley saw the President
again to-day for a brief visit and Sec
retary Cortelyou was admitted for the
first time. No one else was allowed
to see him. although he inquired sev
eral times who were below stairs. He
was given nourishment to-day in the
form of eggs beaten in milk adminis
tered through the rectum.
The water which has been given
heretofore cold did not appear to agree
with him and since last night very hot
water has been taken into the stom
ach through the mouth with splendid
results. His bowels moved freely dur
ing the day and this also was con
sidered an excellent symptom. If he
continues to improve it will be grad
ually. if he should grow worse the
change In that direction also probably
will be slow. This is the opinion 'of
Dr. Mann. There will be no crisis. If
he arrives at convalescence Dr. Park
expresses the opinion that it will be
three weeks before it will be safe to
wove him. It is expected that the in
terior wounds will heal first. The su
tures of the lacerated tissue were made
so soon after the bullet passed that
they are probably healing rapidly.
"’lth the exterior wound it is a slower
Process.
The extreme optimism of the Vice
President and members of the cabinet
would be difficult to overstate.
"I am absolutely confident every
thing will turn out all right.” declared
the Vice President, and he said he
based his confidence on information
behind the public expressions of the
Physicians.
So relieved are Secretary Gage and
Attorney General Knox at the steady
improvement that they returned to
ashington to-night, feeling strongly
’hat their chief would recover, but
'With the assurance of the physicians
that if a change for the worse occurred
It would be gradual and they would
have ample time to return. In the
case of Secretary Gage there was a
Public reason why he should be at his
Posk New Tork financiers have ap
pealed to him to relieve the situation
in the money market by increasing de
posits In national banks, and he feels
’hat he can hardly act at this dis
tance from the scene if he finds that
action is desirable.
Secretary of State Hay Is due to ar
rive to-night and will remain with the
S
Jsatomnal) Morning
other members of the cabinet at least
for a day or two.
The Cabinet's Devotion.
The devotion of the members of the
cabinet to the President is touching.
All would desire to remain near him
until the crucial period is passed, and
Secretary Hitchcock and Secretary
Wilson avow that only absolute and
imperative public business will induce
them to depart before the President Is
pronounced - out of danger., Senator
Hanna will also remain until the phy
sicians give absolute assurance that
Mr. McKinley will live. Controller
Dawes and some of the other eminent
men connected with the administra
tion expect to depart to-morrow or
Wednesday if the improvement con
tinues.
Vice President Roosevelt has occu
pied a peculiarly delicate position since
the event which threatened the Pres
ident’s life, but he has borne himself
throughout this ordeal In such manner
as to win the admiration and respect
of all. It has, moreover, added anew
bond between the Vice President and
those intimately associated with the
President, and the latter are •warmest
In their expressions of the manner in
which he has met every requirement
of the situation. Not for a moment
has he permitted the idea to be enter
tained that there was need for consid
ering the constitutional disability of
the President and the exercise of exec
utive functions which this would im
pose on him.
The Optimism of Roosevelt.
On the contrary, Mr. Roosevelt has
been one of the most positive in the
conviction that the President would
recover. During the long period of
Garfield’s illness nice distinctions arose
as to what constituted the disability
of the President within the meaning
of the constitution; whether when the
physical faculties were benumbed
w'hile the mental faculties were unim
paired there was any disability as
meant by the constitution. But, for
tunately, there has been no such issue
presented on this occasion, and the
Vice President himself has been pri
marily responsible for the avoidance
of any thought of the temporary ex
ercise of executive functions by him.
Nor has there been any occasion for
the exercise of executive authority,
for such minor routine matter as
comes can readily be left until the
present emergency has passed.
Twice during the day and again this
evening the Vice President has called
at the Milburn residence to inquire as
to the President’s condition. During
the afternoon call he met several of the
cabinet officers and Senator Hanna and
spent a short time with them in infor
mal discussion. On the streets Mr.
Roosevelt has been the center of re
spectful attention, but he has met this
wdth diginity and composure. Despite
senseless remarks that he was going
about guarded by secret service men.
he has positively declined to have any
thing like a guard about him. One of
his remarks to-day, in speaking to two
laborers, who greeted him, struck a
popular chord. They had suggested
that he might be afraid to be stopped.
"No, indeed,” he replied. "You men
are our protection, and the foul deed
of Friday will only make you more vig
orous. in protecting those whom you
elect to office.”
Emperor Nicholas gave happy ex
pression to the world-wide solicitude
over the President, in a message which
was given out during the day. It is Ad
diessed to the President, and after ex
pressing bis happiness at the Presi
dent’s improvement, adds that he Joins
with the universal world in wishing a
speedy recovery.
HIS PLACE NEAR PRESIDENT.
Roosevelt Will Stay at Buffalo Until
Danger Is Past.
Milburn House, Buffalo, eept. 9.
Vice President Roosevelt will not
leave the city until the physicians of
the President issue a bulletin or give
an opinion that the President will "posi
tively recover. To-night, in company
with his host, Ansley Wilcox, he went
out for a short time. He is without
doubt the most sanguine of the gov
ernment officials here, unless it be
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
predicts that the President will be out
in two weeks. Mr. Roosevelt said to
night:
“I came here because I believed my
place was near the President and I
will not leave until the situation has
entirely cleared up. If I was predict
ing when I shall leave here I would
say to-morrow because I firmly be
lieve that the physicians will announce
to-morrow that there is absolutely no
doubt that the President will recover. I
been twice to the President's temporary
home to-day and I have seen nothing
but smiling happy faces, including a
host of physicians, that would not be
so If the bulletins did not tell the ex
act truth.”
The Vice President was asked to ex
press an opinion on legislation against
anarchy. He said:
“It is not the time or place to dis
cuss such matters. The only thing to
be thought of now is the President's
complete rapid recovery.” /
“THOU SHALT NOT KILL.”
America 9o Asylum for Those Who
Violate This Commandment.
Buffalo, Sept. 9.—William J. Bryan
to-day telegraphed the Times as fol
lows:
"Free governments may be over
thrown, but they cannot be reformed
by those who violate the command
ment, 'Thou shalt not kill.' Under a
government like ours every wrong can
be remedied by laws and the laws are
in the hands of the people themselves.
“Anarchy can be neither excused nor
tolerated here. The man who proposes
to right a public wrong by taking the
life of a human being makes himself
an outlaw and cannot consistently ap
peal to the protection of the govern
ment which he repudiates. He invites
a return to a state of barbarism, in
which each one must, at his own risk,
defend his own rights and avenge his
own wrongs.
“The punishment administered to the
would-be assassin and to his conspira
tors, if he has any, should be such as
to warn all Inclined to anarchy that
while this is an asylum for those who
love liberty, it is an inhospitable place
for those who raise their hands against
all forms of government.
(Signed.) "W. J. Bryan.”

New Tork. Sept. 9.—After a success

ly between fourteen and sixteen knots.
SAVANNAH, GA. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1901.
ONLY A LITTLE PART
IS TOLD BY THE BULLETINS OF
PRESIDENT’S IMPROVEMENT.
—
RELATIVES LEAVE BUFFALO.
SO CONFIDENT ARE THEY OF MC
KINLEY’S RECOVERY.
Abner McKinley Says Relatives Are
SO Confident of Recovery They
Have No Hesitation in Leaving..
The Atmosphere Has Undergone a
Radical Change—..in Air of Almost
• Jollity Snrronnds the Milbarn
House—From Somber Forebodings
the Feeling Has Changed to Joy
ful Confidence—Last Bulletin
Shows Encouraging Symptoms.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 9.—Af
ter the 9:30 p. m. bulletin had been is
sued from the Milburn residence to
night announcing a continuance of the
favorable conditions of the President
there were many indications that the
bulletins were but meager indications
of the real improvement of the distin
guished patient. •
At 9:45 o’clock Miss McKinley, a sis
ter of the President; Dr. and Mrs. Her
man Baer, the latter a niece of the
President, and Misses Barber, nieces of
the President, left the house, and, tak
ing carriages, announced their intention
of returning to their homes to-night.
Abner McKinley accompanied them to
the station, and to the Associated Press
said:
“The nearest relatives of the Presi
dent are so confident of his recovery
that they have no hesitation in leav
ing.”
Postmaster Frease of Canton, a warm
personal friend of the President, who
came to-day, filled with anxiety, said
to-night:
“I go back to-night because I have
the most positive assurance that the
President is going to make a rapid re
covery.”
In fact, by 10:30 o’clock to-night the
entire temper of everybody about the
Milburn residence seemed to have un
dergone a radical change. The police
did not stop wagons from going by the
nearest corner at high speed.
The regular army guard was not so
particular about those who passed up
the guarded street. The newspaper
men did not maintain the quiet that
has prevailed for the past three days.
Even those who came from the man
sion where the wounded man lay stop
ped on the corner to laugh And chat.
From sombre fortbodinjr the, feeling
has suddenly turned to Jdyfql confi
dence that tfce nation’s ruler was to
be spared.
At 10:50 o’clock to-night the lights of
the mansion, except those dimly shin
ing in the sick room, were extinguish
ed, and by 11 o’clock peaceful quiet
reigned about the Milburn home. On
the dark corner opposite the house sol
diers, policemen and newspaper men
kept vigil, however, sheltered beneath
their tents. ,
The 9:30 o’clock bulletin as was
promised, was to.be the last of the
night and while it was brief, attention
was called to the fact that the pulse
was exactly the same as this morning
112—and that the temperature was
eight-tenths of a degree lower, as high
ly favorable symptoms.
Senator Hanna was the last of the
callers at the house. He only stayed a
few minutes, but during that time had
a short interview with Dr. Mcßumey.
When he came out he declined to talk
further than to say:
“Everything is all right, and if the
improvement continues I may go home
to-morrow.”
BUSINESS WILL SUSPEND.
While Prayers of the People of Bal
timore Ascend on High.
Baltimore, Sept. 9.—A1l the munici
pal and state buildings will be closed
throughout the city and state from 11
to 12 o’clock to-morrow pursuant to the
proclamation of Gov. Smith and the re
quest of Mayor Hayes that the day be
observed, either in whole or in' part,
as a day of prayer for the speedy re
covery of President McKinley.
The Chamber of Commerce, the Stock
Exchange, the Custom House and many
other public buildings in this city will
do likewise, and it now seems probable
that there will be a general suspension
of business during the hours named.
Services will be held in all the church
es, and 'an open-air service in Druid
Hill Park, if the present plans are car
ried out.
CONFEDERATES THE LEADERS.
They Direct Meeting of Sympathy
for President McKinley.
Lexington, Ky., Sept. 9.—A remark
able demonstration by the citizens of
Lexington and Fayette county was
held here to-day, following the at
tempted assassination of President Mc-
Kinley.
Maj. P. P. Johnson, major of Con
federate artillery under Pelham in the
Civil War, called the meeting to or
der. Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge, who
fought on the Confederate side, read
resolutions of sympathy with the
President and condemnation of an
archy. Leading pastors of the city
then addressed the large audience.
THE CZAR OF RUSSIA.
Unites With the World In Hope fro
Speedy Recovery.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. The
following message has been received
from the Czar of Russia:
"Fredensborg, Sept. To President
McKinley, Buffalo. I am very happy to
hear you are feeling better after the
ignominious attempt upon your life. I
join the American people and the uni
versal world in the hope for your
speedy recovery. "Nicholas.”
EVERY SIGN IS BRIGHT.
President’s Condition Shows No Un
favorable Symptoms.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 9.—Dr.
Mcßumey said to an Associated Press
reporter after- the issue of the 3 o’clock
bulletin that all the Indications con
tinued favorable.
"N'o bad symptoms have appeared,”
said he. "No one can say now that the
President is out of danger, and for a
week still the possibility of complica
tions may exist. At the end of that
time, if all goes well, we may be able
to say that he is convalescent.”
"But I have known cases,” put in Dr.
Mann, who was with the noted sur
geon,-"to go well for ten days and then
change for the worse.”
"That is true, perhaps,” said Dr. Mc-
Burney, somewhat deprecattngly, “but
it is .entirely unusual. If the Presi
dent continues to improve for a week,”
he continued, "we may safely say that
he is a convalescent. It will proba
bly be three weeks before it will be
safe to move him. We must wait until
the outer wound is healed and strong.
The inner wounds through the stomach
proper will be strong before the ex
terior wound is. How long it will be
before he will be able to sit up will de
pend upon the rapidity of his improve
ment; and I may say to you further
that his improvement,, if it continues,
promises to be rapid.”
Turning to the Associated Press cor
respondent, Dr. Mcßurney said:
“You can assure your clientele that
all goes well. The President’s condition
could hardly be more satisfactory.
Furthermore, you can impress and
emphasize the fact that the bulletins
issued state the truth.”
Dr. Mann said that the President was
not out of danger. He said that some
nourishment had been administered to
day in the form of an aenema, and he
had taken water in the stomach. rt
was found tfmt cold water did not
agree with him and instead water as
hot as the President can bear it is now
being administered. The President’s
towels have moved freely to-day, and
this is considered an excellent symp
tom.
THE HANDS OF ANARCHISM.
Watterson Says They Mast Be Met
With Parer Public Spirit.
Louisville. Sept. 9.—“ No threat of im
perialism in this country can compare
with that condition which would make
it necessary always to hedge about our
highest officials with military protec
tion. But if systematic murder is al
lowed to stalk unreproved over our
land we shall reach a period when
armed guards must surround every of
ficial and even be stationed In our
courts of Justice.”
These words were the keynote of
resolutions adopted to-night at a meet
ing of 3,000 citizens of Louisville. A de
mand was made for vigorous laws
against anarchists and deepdst sym
pathy was expressed for President Mc-
KinJfy. .
Speeches were made by W, Jt. Knott,
editor of the Evening Post, Henry
Watterson, editor of the Courier-Jour
nal, and others.
Mr. Watterson, referring to the at
tempt on the life of the President,
said:
"What must the world of feudalism,
of monarchism, of despotism, think of
it? ; -If the 1 hand that struck down
that'Emperor of Russia who had given
freedom to the serfs was the same
hand that, struck down that Ameri
can’ President who had given freedom
to the slaves, shall it be said that there
was anything more sane or logical in
the hand that struck down Garfield
and Carnot and McKinley? It-must
be, it can only be, an insanity born
of something radically wrong in mod
ern ethics, to be punished, indeed—and
punished with death—but to be ex
tirpated, if extirpated at pll, by meth
ods more far-reaching than the halter
and the ax.”
After saying that if Mr. McKinley
should die "he goes as Lincoln went,
a glorious sacrifice to a glorious cause,”
Mr. Watterson asked:
“What then?" and concluded: “We
must meet the blood-stained hands of
anarchism, not merely with cleaner
hands, but with a purer public spirit,
if not a deeper philosophy. We must
disseminate the lesson that government
exists not for the private gain of any,
nor for the cure of any pirvate grief,
but for Justice, the citadel and the bell
tower of the public peace and order.
“All of us this night are McKinley
man. We pray this night that God will
spare his life.”
THE MEN OF THE COUNTRY
Are the Safeguards of the Nation's
Holers.
Buffalo. Sept. 9.—Vic President
Roosevelt did not leave the Wilcox
residence, where he is stopping, until
after the noon hour, and then he walk
ed the mile to the presidential quar
ters in company with a correspondent
of’the Associated Press. Just after he
had left the residence he was accosted
by a negro who was raking a lawn.
“Governor, may I shake hands with
you?” he said.
“You certainly may,” answered the
Vice President, turning quickly and
grasping his hand, and then as two
laborers with dipner palls and tools
slipped up, he shook hands with them.
“Ain’t you afraid to be stopped?”
asked one of the men.
"No, sir,” he snapped out, "and I
hope no official of this country will
ever be afraid. You men are our pro
tection and the foul deed done the af
ternoon of Friday will only make you
the more vigorous in your protection
of the lives of those whom you select
to office. Such men as you can work
with the ballot the salvation of the
country without resort to violence.”
As he walked on, the Vice President
discussed the case of the President and
his condition. He said, in part:
“I believe that the bulletins being is
sued’ are none too sanguine. In fact
I know they are not. I am perfectly
positive that the President will re
cover, and more than that, I believe
the illness will be brief and the re
covery rapid.
“I had two men and a relative shot
in the same manner in the Cuban cam
paign. They lay in the marshes for
some time without attendance and yet
they recovered.
-”I may say that I have even deeper
information than the bulletins and I
again say with great confidence that
the President will' recover.”
The Vice President arrived at the
Milburn house at 12:20 o'clock and was
at once admitted. He remained about
ten minutes and when he came out re
iterated what he said above.
HE ADDS NOTHING
CZOLGOSZ GIVES NO FURTHER
LIGHT TO THE POLICE.
GLORYING IN HIS CRIME.
HE REFUSES TO IMPLICATE OTH
ERS IN ITS COMMISSION.
Underwent a Second Long Examina
tion at the Hands of the Police—On
the Score of Accomplices His State
ment Remains Unshaken—Will Be
Given the Third Degree of Police
Craft—Police of the Country Know
Little or Nothing About Anarch
ists—They Are Not Considered
as Agencies of Crime—Csolgoss
Knows Nothing of the Fate of His
Intended Victim.
Buffalo, Sept. 9.—Czolgosz, the assas
sin, went through another long exam
ination at the hands of the police of
ficials to-day, but emerged from it
without having added anything mate
rial to their knowledge of the case. The
chief effort of the detectives was to
draw from the prisoner some admission
as to his accomplices, but he persist
ently stuck to his denial that he was
assisted in any way in the commission
of his crime.
Every possible device was resorted to
in the effort to obtain the information,
but the prisoner maintained his posi
tion and could not be shaken. In an
swer to questions he again went dver
the events of Friday and told substan
tially the same story as In the original
confession made to Superintendent
Bull and District Attorney Penney.
Czolgosz carefully weighed his answers
and when conclusions that he did not
approve were taken from his state
ments insisted upon making explana
tions of his exact meaning.
The police have about concluded that
more effective work on the plot theory
can be done on the outside, although
Czolgosz probably will have another
experience with the third degree of
police craft to-morrow. The general in
vestigation of the, case progresses
slowly, because the men on it must
cover a large amount of preliminary
ground before they do effective work.
According to the local authorities the
police of the country know very little
about the anarchists. They say that
the secret service men do not show
any special familiarity with them, and
that there does not seem to be a single
city police department in the country
that has more than a general knowl
edge of them. Member* of the Buffalo
forde admit that they have never given
American anarchists serious consider
ation and that they did not know
there were and here. Since the Presi
dent was shot they have found that
there were at least twenty avowed
anarchists in the city. Here, as else
where, it has been necessary for the
detectives to first satisfy themselves
as to the identity of a lot of men
whom they never had occasion to
watch before. No other arrests have
been made in connection with the case,
and the local police say that they do
not anticipate any for the nresent.
It is believed that both Emma Gold
man and .Tqlius Schwab will be de
tained by the police whenever they
are {ound. Superintendent Bull has
made a general request to' the police
of the country that anyone suspected
of complicity be detained and ex
amined. The police of Chicago, Cleve
land, Detroit and other middle state
cities are co-operating with the local
officers in tracing out the movements
of the prisoner before the crime, and
Superintendent Bull said to-night that
they had practically accounted for him
for the six weeks that preceded his ar
rival here.
Czolgosz is still kept secluded and
the detectives are the only ones who
have access to him. He is stil strong
and healthy and eats with a will.
Knowledge of the coniditon of the
President is kept from him. He knew
on Friday night that the President
was still alive, but has been given no
information since them
Not once since his confinement, either
in talking with his guards or when up
for examination, has he asked as to
the fate of his victim. No plan for
the arraignment of the prisoner has
been considered by District Attorney
Penney. When seen to-night that of
ficer said:
"We are still investigating the case,
and until the inquiry by the police is
concluded and something definite as to
the result of the President’s wounds
known, nothing will be done about the
prosecution of the prisoner. All dis
cussion of the subject is premature. I
have not yet even taken the matter up
for consideration.”
MADE OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.
The Stories of Universal Prosecution
of Anarchists.
Buffalo, Sept. 9.—Many sensational
reports are being circulated about cab
inet action looking to the apprehension
and prosecution of Emma Goldman
and leaders of anarchist organizations,
of mysterious directions from the Sec
retary of War to the chief of police
here, and the developments of a start
ling nature that are anticipated. The
great majority of these reports, in the
words of a cabinet officer, are "man
ufactured out of whole cloth.”
The question of the prosecution of
Czolgosz, the cabinet are unanimously
of opinion, is purely a local affair.
There is no government statute cover
ing; an assault upon the President of
the United States, and in the eye of
the law the crime of last Friday Is
merely a local offense committed
against a private citizen in violation of
the laws of the state of New York and
of Erie county. The national govern
ment can have no hand In the prose
cution of a local offender; his trial will
take place in the local courts.
Of course, if Czolgosz had accom
plices they will be ferreted out and
all the aid which the government can
furnish will be employed, but it can
be stated upon the athorlty of a
cabinet officer that no wholesale pro
ceedings against anarchists are con
templated.
TWO ANARCHISTS NABBED.
Police Implicate Emma Goldman
With Czolgosz' Crime.
Pittsburg, Sept. 9.—Karl Nold and
Harry Gordon, well known Pittsburg
anarchists and intimate friends of
Emma Goldman, were arrested to-day.
Nold was a friend of Berkman, who
shot H. C. Frick.
A thorough search of the abode of
Cordon and Nold failed to reveal any
thing incriminating further than a
large mass of anarchistic literature. A
number of letters were secured also,
but so far as the officials can make
out, none had any bearing on the crime
of Czolgosz. No further arrests were
made.
It is learned on what is considered
good authority that the arrest of the
two men was made upon a telegraphic
request from the police department of
Buffalo and that the Buffalo officials
have ordered them held pending fur
ther Instructions. Emma Goldman
was in this city Sunday, Sept. 1, and
participated in a meeting of thirty-five
anarchists at the house of Gordon, on
Wylie avenue.
There is a suspicion that the assail
ant of the President came to Pittsburg
with Emma Goldman on her last
visit. She came here from Roches
ter and on her way stopped at
Buffalo, the detectives who have been
tracing her movements say. There was
in her company a young man who an
swers in every way the general de
scription of Czolgosz except that he
wore a slight brown mustache. This
mysterious young man accompanied
the woman from the depot to the house
of Gordon.
EMMA GOLDMAN WATCHED.
Located by Chicago Police Not Far
From That City.
Chicago, Sept. 9.—Chief O’Neill to
day announced that Emma Goldman
is under surveillance not far from Chi
cago. although not in this city. He

NO PLOT AT CLEVELAND.
I’ollce Cannot Find One to Kill
President Existed.
Cleveland, Sept. 9.—Supt. Corner of
the Cleveland police department to-day
gave out an official statement to- the
Associated Press regarding the alleg
ed anarchistic plot to take the life of
the President. He states that the
Cleveland police force have been fol
lowing up the meager threads of evi
dence presented, but that they can find
no proof whatever that such a plot
existed.
It is quite evident that Leon Czol
gosz was an element of discord in hi*
own family and that he never was
popular even with his own people. HJ*
taciturn disposition and queer ways
isolated him from relatives and friends
and his socialistic tendencies appear
to be regarded as the vagaries of a
weak mind.

Washington, Sept. 9.—Two members
of the Schley court of inquiry at
the Navy Department this morning,
namely, Admiral Dewey, the president
of the court, and Rear Admiral Ben
hatn. Rear Admiral Howison has not
yet come to Washington. Admiral
Dewey was in conference with Judge
Advocate Lemley for some time re
specting the arrangements which Capt.
Lemley has made for the seating of the
press and spectators in the court room,
and as to other details.
Unless the President’s condition
should change materially for the
worse, the court will meet on Thurs
day next, exactly as ordered in the pre
cept,’ and the inquiry will begin at
once. It had been supposed that several
days would be consumed in organizing
the court and in dilatory adjournments
pending the beginning of the real work
of inquiry. The determination of the
court, however, is to settle down to
work immediately. If objection is made
to any member of the court that ob
jection probably will be disposed of by
the court itself In short order.
It was arranged that the sessions of
the court should be held daily from
10 to 12 o'clock and from 1 to 3
o’cjock. This does not apply, however,
to the time for the assembling of the
court, which is fixed by the secretary’s
order at 1 o’clock p. m. on the 12th in
stant. The regular sessions of the
court will begin In accordance with the
arrangement made to-day at 10 o’clock
on the morning of the second day. In
accordance with the orders of the de
partment- the court will sit continu
ously from day to day, Sundays except
ed, until the Investigation is concluded.
Another officer of the court was
created to-day by an order detailing
Capt. Henry W. Carpenter, of the
Marine Corps, to duty as provost mar.
shai. of tfie court. As such officer it
will be Copt. Carpenter's special prov
ince to preserve order and proper de
corum on the part of the spectators in
the Courtroom. He will also exercise
immediate command over the small
squad of marines detailed to various
duties in and about the courtroom.
Capt. Francis ■A. Ceok, who com
manded Admiral Schley’s flagship, the
Brooklyn,- during the Santiago cam
paign, and Lieut. Commander James
H. Sears spent practically the entire
dgy close consultation with Admiral
Schley’s counsel. It Is understood
that Capt. Cook will be the first wit
ness to” take the stand for Admiral
Schley.
KNOT SITS DOWN ON HACKETT.
No Assistant Attorney General Wilt
Help Against Schley.
Buffalo, Sept. 9.—Acting Secretary
of the Navy Hackett has been press
ing Attorney General Knox, both by
wire and letter, to appoint one of the
assistant attorney generals to assist
Capt. LOmly, the judge advocate of the
Schley court of inquiry, in the conduct
of the case before the court. The At
torney General, however, has declined
to take a step wijich he believes would
look like the government prosecution of
the officer umjer investigation.
The government, in his opinion,
should have no part in the inquiry. It
is-an inquiry under the Navy Depart
ment, made at the requpst of Admiral
Schley, and the government has noth
ing to do with It., The President him
self recommended Admiral Schley for
promotion, and now for the Depart
ment of Justice to detail an officer un
der it to assist in the conduct of the
case would inevitably be construed as
a desire on the part of the administra
tion to convict Admiral Schley.
The Attorney General was sustained
in his position by all the members of
the cabinet whom he consulted. The
whole question was gone over care
fully at a meeting held In the Glen
ny house, adjoining the Milburn resi
dence yesterday.
Attorney General Knox wired his
decision to Acting Secretary Hackett
yesterday.

--tirely authentic.
BOERS HAVE HAD TIME TO SOW.
Green Wheat Fields la Orange River
Colony.
Wlnburg. Orange River Colony, Sept.
9.—Barker's column has returned here
from an 180-mlle march through the
Senekal district. The soldiers were as
tonished to find green wheat fields ev
erywhere, no troops having visited that
region pince December, so the Boers
•had time to plow and sow.
They retreated to the mountains on
the approach of the British, who cap
tured 100 men, women and children,
enormous quantities of grain, and 1,600
head of cattle.
