".-President Me Kinley, while holding n reception in the Tvuiple of Mimic at the Pan-American exposition nt 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, was shot nnd twice wounded hy I.eon Ciulifiisz, an anarchist, who lives in Cleveland. One bullet entered the president' breast, struck the breast bone, glanced ami win Inter easily extracted.

Some of them nre butchers and others are iu other trades. It was just after the daily orgnu re eitulu iu the splendid Temple of Music that the dastardly attempt was made. Phinred with all the diabolical ingenuity ud finesse of which anarchy or nihilism la capable, the would be assassin carried out the work without n hitch, anil should his designs fail and the president survive only to lliviuc Providence can be attrib uted that beneficent result. The president, though well guarded by United States secret service detectives, was fully exposed to BUch an uttack us occurred. Ho stood at the edge of the raised dais upon which stands the great pipe organ at the east aide of the magnifi cent structure. Throngs of people crowd ed in at the various entrances to gnze up on their well beloved executive, perchance to clasp "his hand, and then fight their way out in the good natured mob that every minute swelled and multiplied at the points of ingress and egress to the building. The president wus in a cheerful mood nnd was enjoying to thu full tho bearty evidences of good wiH which ev trywhore met his gaze. Upon his right stood John (J. Milburn of liuffalo, presi dent of the I'an-Aimricau exposition, chatting with the president nnd introduc ing to him especially persons of note who approached. Upon the president's left utood Mr. Oortelyou. It was shortly after 4 p. m. when one f the throng which surrounded the presi dential party, a medium sized man of or diaarj appearance and plainly dressed in bhu k, approached as if to greet the presi dent. T'nth Secretary Cortelyon and President Mil'niin noticed that the man's hand wns iv.irhed in a bunilaire or handkerchief. Ib-poiis of bystunders differ us to which hand. He worked his way amid the renin of people up to the edge of the dais unlil he wus within two feet of the president. President McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his huud in fiat spirit of genial ity the American people so well know, when suddenly two sharp cracks of a re volver rung out loud iind clear above the hum of voices, the shuttling of myriad feet and vibrating waves of applause that ever and anon swept here and there over the assemblage. Then came the si lence that ensues uftur thu discharge of a bombshell. The president stood stock Still, a look of hesitancy, utmost of be wilderment, on bis face. Then he re treated a step, while u pallor began to steal over his features. The multitude, only partially aware that something se rious hud happened, paused iu the silence of surprise, while necks were craned and all eyes turned us one toward the ros trum where u great tragedy was Indus enacted. Then came u commotion. Willi the leap of a tiger three men threw them selves forward us with o Impulse and sprang toward the would be assassin. Two of them were United States secret service men who were on the lookout and whose' duty it was to guard against just such a calamity us bad hero befallen the president und tho uutiou. Tho third was a bystuuder, a negro, who had only an In stant previously grasped in his dusky palm the hand ofthe president. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the president's assailant. In a twinkling he wns borne to the ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp, nnd strong arms pinioned him down.

For a moment the confusion wns ter rible. The crowd surged forward regard less of consequences. Men shouted nnd fought, women screamed, and children cried. Some of those nearest the door lied from the edifice in fear of a stam pede, while hundreds of others from tho outside struggled blindly forward in the effort to penetrate the crowded building nnd solve the mystery of excitement and pnnic, which every moment grew nnd swelled within the congested interior of the palatial edifice. Inside on the slightly raised dais was enacted within those few feverish mo ments n trngedy so dramatic in charac ter, so thrilling in its intensity, that few who looked on will ever be nble to give a succinct account of what really did transpire. Even the actors who were playing the principal roles came out of it with blanched faces, trembling limbs and beating hearts, while their brains throbbed with u tumult of conflicting emotions which left behind only a chaotic jmnblp of impressions which could not be clarified into a lucid nar rative of the events as they reully trans pired. Hut of the multitude which witnessed or bore n part in the scene of turmoil and turbulence there wns but one mind which seemed to retain its cquilbrinm, one bund which remained steady, one eye which gazed with unflinching calmness and one voice which retained its even tenor and faltered not ut the most crit ical juncture. They were the mind nnd the hand nnd the eye and the voice of President Mc Kinley. After the first shock of the assassin's shots he retreated n step. Then ns the detectives leaped upon his ussailant he turned, walked steadily to n chair and seated himself, nt the same time remov ing his hnt and bowing his head iu his hands. In an instant Secretary Cortelyon nnd President Milburn were at his side. Ilia waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the pres ident meanwhile admonishing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed. "Hut you are wounded!" cried his sec retary. "Let me examine!" "Xo, I think not," answered the presi dent. "I uui not badly hurt, I assure you." Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loosened, nnd when n trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its way down ids breast, spreading its tell tale stain over the white surface of the linen, their worst fears were confirmed. A force of exposition guards were on the scene by this time, nnd an effort was made to clear the building. Hy this time the crush wns terrific.

The president was removed nt once to the Emergency hospital, where an opera tion wns performed, and nt 7:25 hu was taken from the exposition hospitul to the Lome of President Milburn on Delaware avenue. The interest iu the president's condi tion wus such across the Canadian bor der that the press was nsked to furnish a bulletin to be read in tho churches in Quebec and Montreal, and ninny requests of n similar character came direct to Sec retary Cortolyoii from different parts of the United States.

"Whut do you think of your own ar rest?" she wns nsked. "If I told you," she replied, "it would look somewhat conceited, and I certainly would not like to be guilty of that. Not only my arrest, but the others, smack of the Hnymurket. The police nre very much in disrepute nil over the country, nnd they wish to do something to clear themselves. They are trying to make it an anarchist plot. If they wish to make up a case, they may succeed." Referring to the attempt on the life of the president. Miss (toldmnn said: "It is n dirty trick to charge in the newspaper reports that it was the result of an anarchist plot. Murk Hnuna has been the ruler of this country, not Mc Kinley. McKinley has been the most in significant ruler that this country has ever hnd. He hns neither wit nor in telligence, but hns been a tool in the hands of Mark Ilanun. Other presidents have hud a heart or something, but this poor follow God forgive him, since he knows nothing! is n tool in the hnnds of the wealthy, and It seems very remarka ble for Mark Iliinna to say that he was notified of a plot for his assassination. I think McKinley too iiisiguilh'aut for such u thing." "What mnn in the United States, in your opinion, Is of suilieient prominence to warrant such a plot?" she was asked. "I am not in position to say," replied Miss Goldman, "who ought to be killed. The monopolists und the wealthy of this country nre responsible for the existence of n Czolgosz. If imperialism would not grow in this country, if the liberties of the people wera Hot trampled under foot, there would have been uo violence." Referring to the would be assassin, Miss Goldman said: "I feel that the mnn is one of thoso unfortunates who has been driven by despair and misery to commit the deed. 1 feel very deeply with him as un indl- viduul, ns I would fei l with anybody who ' suffers. If I hail means, I would help ! him as much ns I could. I would see 1 hut 1 he had counsel and thnt justice wus done J him." Asked if sin? thought Czolgosz's net j wns praiseworthy from her viewpoint, j she answered: "I mil not iu a position to j say whether it was good or bad. It Is bud for the man who attempted to do. I am not in his boots und know nothing about it. What I don't see is why they should make more fuss over the president than anybody else. All men ure bom equal." ; "Hut some men rise above the equality of birth," n reporter suggested. "We are all interested in the man whom we have made our chief." "I don't think men put him iu nflice.
