"He walked in perfect and noble
self-control," said Bishop Andrews in
his address over the bier of Presi
dent McKinley in Washington. "Be
vond that," continued the bishop,
"this man had somehow wrought in
him a great and generous love for
his fellowmen." All the world seems
to have grasped the truth of this es
timate.

The messages from foreign coun
tries in relation to the assault upon
the life of President McKinley speak
of the crime in varying terms. Kng

China "foul," France "treacherous,"
Germany "execrable," Bolivia "horri

A report submitted to the Interna

An Indiana editor returned to the
scenes of his boyhood a short time
ago and found that the little red
nehoolhouse from which lie had been
graduated was being used as a hen

to us that poetry is fast becoming a
lost art in this country when a man's
alma mater can be yanked around on

The death of President McKinley
should serve as a reminder to writers
and talkers to make a sharp dis
tinction between the presidency and
the occupant of the presidential
chair. Criticism of the president
should always be respectful of the
office and mindful that whatever the
president's personal character the
fact that lie is the chosen head of
the nation entitles him to considerate
treatment. (If course, it is hardly
conceivable that an utterly unworthy
man might be elected president, and
it is far from probable.
There are all kinds of stories float

but about the biggest of the whole
series comes from West St ockbridge,
Mass., where it is alleged may be
seen a maple tree which measures 1-
feet 3 inches in circumference a
foot above the ground. Fifteen feet
from the ground there are one or two
birch limbs growing, and it is alleged
that higher up on the tree are currant
and raspberry bushes that bear fruit
each year. Massachusetts still "speaks
for herself," but that tree story indi
cates that she is talking too much.
POLICIES OF ROOSEVELT.
MioroiiKlily In Acroril %vltli Tlione of
th«* l.nlo l'r<*Mlileut Mc-
Kinley.
Theodore Koosevelt is now president
of the United States, He succeeds a
president with whom he held the most
cordial relations, personally and offi
cially, and of whose policies he was the
most conspicuous exponent.
When Vice President Tyiersucceeded
Harrison, in 1841, there was fear of a
reversal of party policy. When Fil
more succeeded Taylor, in lS4!t, there
was doubt as to the at tit ude oft he new
president on certain party measures.
When Johnson succeeded Lincoln, in
ISOS. there was fear on one side that he
would go too far, and on the other that
he would not go far enough. When
Arthur succeeded (larfield, in 18M, the
public was disturbed by fears of a
change of policy, which, happily, were
dispelled.
]!ut in the case of Roosevelt there are
no doubts—no fears. In the first ad
ministration of President McKinley he
held a position that associated him
closely with the initiative in carrying
out the war policy. All through that
administration he was one of the presi
dent's most trusted friends and advis
ers. When nominated for the vice pres
idency he discussed and approved the
same policies as were discussed and
approved by the candidate for presi
dent.
The letters of acceptance of McKinley
anil Koosevelt were conspicuous for
their harmony and for their forceful
treatment of distinctively American
questions. Mr. Koosevelt's speeches
during the campaign of PJOO were mas
terly presentations of the expansion.
THE PATH HE WILL FOLLOW.

s m'mimlcy's k— _r~ - ~
President. Roosevelt —"I wish to state that it shall be my aim to con
tinue absolutely unbroken the policy of President McKinley for the peace
und prosperity of our beloved country."
financial and economic policies of the
president. The inaugural addresses of
president and vice president were on
the same key.
The president's message in Decem
ber, I'.IOO, emphasized the policies and
measures which Roosevelt had dis
cussed. As president and vice presi
dent the two were in the closest per
sonal and official relations. With this
record in mind, there can be no suspi
cion of a change of policy through the
succession of Mr. Koosevelt to the pres
idency.
lint no possibility of doubt remains
when the last public utterances of the
two men are compared. In the first
week in September Mr. Koosevelt and
Mr. McKinley delivered carefully pre
pared addresses at Minneapolis and at
Buffalo, respectively. JJotli had the
dignity of state papers, and t he tragedy
that followed gives to each increased
significance.
A comparison shows that each man
had in mind the same high purpose as
to the missions of this government, the
same determination as to persistence
in the policy that has given the I'nited
States such prosperity and prestige,
and illustrates in a most striking way
their unity of thought, their similarity
of view as to the possibilities of and
confidence in the future of this na
tion.
Without doubt these two addresses,
even before the tragedy at Duffalo,
gave comfort and confidence to the
American people, and most particular
ly to the business and financial inter
ests.
In his address at Buffalo the presi
dent said: "We have a vast and intri
cate business, built up through years
of toil and struggle, in which every
part of the country has its stake, whieh
will not permit of either neglect or un
due selfishness.
"Reciprocity is the natural out
growth of our wonderful industrial de
velopment under the domestic policy
now firmly established. * * * The
period of exclusiveness is past. The
expansion of our trade and commerce
is the pressing problem. Commercial
wars are unprofitable. A policy of good
**i!l and friendly tr-ide relations will
prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties
are in harmony with the spirit of the
time; measures of retaliation are not."
Touching on the same point in his
Minneapolis speech, Mr. Koosevelt
said: "We must continue the policy
that has been so brilliantly succi ssful
in the past and so shape our economic
system as to give every advantage to
skill and energy and intelligence of cur
farmers, merchants, manufacturers

when benefits are sought. Through
and wage workers, and yet we must al
so remember in dealing with other
nations that benefits must be given
treaty or by direct legislation, it may
at least in certain cases become ad
vantageous to supplement our present
policy by a system of reciprocal benefit
and obligation."
There is as close a resemblance be
tween the public utterances of .Mr. Mc-
Kinley and Mr. Koosevelt on the Mon
roe doctrine, the expansion policy, ihe
Philippine policy, the suppression of
disorder, and in fact on every great
principle enunciated or policy defined
in republican plat forms.—Chicago In

vited to speak in Ohio. If he comes
it will be intcr(«?ting to watch his
efforts to keep oil' that McLean plat
form. It will require some lively
side-stepping.—Cleveland Lead' r.
E7-President McKinley said in a
speech during his last visit to St.
Louis, which was in October, 1S!»S:
"We have one flag, one destiny, and
wherever that, destiny shall lead us
we will have hearts strong enough to
meet its responsibilities." That
cheerful, patriotic voice is stilled, but
its lessons of duty will abide. St.

CMr. Bryan takes the trouble tc
deny, through the columns of his
newspaper, the Commoner, that he
has bought any oil lands. He says
silver is his first and only love, and
if the democratic party ties up to
'the gold standard after having ac
cepted him and his l(i to 1 declara

112 President Roosevelt's unasked
pledge that he "will carry out, ab
solutely unbroken, the policy of Pres
ident -McKinley for the peace, the
prosperity and honor of our beloved
country," shows a becoming regard
for what must lie esteemed the desire
of tlie party responsible for the ad
ministration of the government.
President Roosevelt has a confirmed
habit of doing the thing he says.—
Philadelphia Record.
following paragraph from
the Springfield (Mo.) Republican, is
interesting to those whom it, may
concern: "Emma Goldman, the noted
anarchist leader, says President Mc-
Kinley is only a tool in the hands of
Mark Hanna, who is ihe real presi
dent and the 'power behind the
throne.' Let's see. That sort of talk
sounds familiar. Where and when
have we heard it before?"— St. Louis
(ilobe-Demoerat.
Clf President Roosevelt is report
ed correctly, he favors the establish
ment of steamship lines to South and
Central America and other points
where trade can be developed, rath
er than to European ports between
which there is already an abundance
of steamship lines. There is reason
to believe that a ship subsidy bill to
establish such lines as the president
has mentioned will not meet the op
position which the proposition to aid
European lines called out.— Indianap
olis Journal.
IL-'Xot since the death of Lincoln
have the American people been so
profoundly shocked as by the report
thai President McKinley has been as
sassinated. It is doubly tragic that
the president should have been
struck down at the great American
exposition where only a day before
he had delivered an address which
undoubtedly will rank as the most
noteworthy utterance of his public
career. Never before had Mr. Mc-
Kinley given clearer proof that lie
possessed the qualities of foreseeing
statesmanship than in this last
speech.—Lost on Transcript.

charged with the murder of Presi- j
dent McKinley. He entered a plea
<>f "guilty," which was subsequently
changed to "not guilty" by direction
of the court.
All the events of the day indicated
that the trial will l«> short. Court
convened at 10 o'clock. Within two
hours eight jurors had been secured.
Technicalities were not raised by ex
amining counsel, but it was signifi
cant that every man who said he had
not formed an opinion on the case'
was excused by the district attorney.
Justice Truman C. White, one of
the oldest supreme court judges, was
on the bench. Immediately after the
■opening of court and after the pris
oner had pleaded. Justice Lewis,
senior counsel for the defendant, an
nounced that together with his col
leagues. ex-Justice Hubert C. Titus
and Carlton K. Ladd, I hey were
ready to act in behalf of the pris
oner. j
The work of securing the jury was
then undertaken with a celerity that
•was amazing. Before the day was
over the entire panel had been
sworn, the jurors had listened to a
description of the Temple of Music,
where ihe crime occurred; had seen
photographs of the interior of that
structure and had been told by three
surgeons what caused the death of
the president and the effect of the
assassin's shot upon the various or-j
gnus of the body.
The first witness, Samuel J. Field,
chief engineer of the Pan-American
exposition, described the ground
floor plan of the Temple of Music and
was followed by Perry A. Bliss, a
photographer, who presented views
of the interior of the building. The
remainder of the afternoon was tak
en up with the testimony of three
physicians, two of whom had attend
ed the president during his last days,
while the other performed the
autopsy. The latter. Dr. Harvey K.
(iaylord, described the location of
the wounds in the stomach and the
direction of the bullet. The cause
of death was attributed to the gun- j
shot wound, but fundamentally, he
said, it was due to the changes back
of the stomach, in the pancreas,
caused by the "breaking down" of
the material of the pancreas, as a
result of the passage of the bullet. |
Dr. Herman Mynter followed and
his testimony brought out the fact
that the reason why the fatal bullet
had nf)t been located at the autopsy
was because of the unwillingness of
the president's relatives to have the
body further mutilated by their in I
struments. Dr. Mynter and Dr.
.Mann, who followed him, both testi- !
lied that the primal cause of death
was the gunshot wound in the stoin- j
aeh. One effect of this wound was,
they said, to cause gangrene to form
in the pancreas and the spot of
poisoned tissue was as large as a sil
ver dollar.
Huffalo, X. V.. Sept. 25.—Leon F |
Czolgosz was yesterday found guilty !
of murder in the first degree by a
jury in the supreme court, in having ,
shot President McKinley, the wounds
inflicted afterwards resulting in the
death of the president.
The wheels of justice moved swift
ly. The trial of the assassin con
sumed eight hours and 2(5 minutes !
and covered a period of only two
days. Practically all of this tim-3 ;
"was occupied by the prosecution in !
presenting a ease so clear, so eon-'
elusive that even bad the prisoner
entered the plea of insanity it in
doubtful if the jury would have re- j
turned a different verdict.

tunnel, under Delaware avenue, back

of the trial.
The father, brother and sister of
the assassin were put through a rigid
examination Jast night by Assistant
District Attorney Ilaller in the pres
ence of Assistant Superintendent Cu- I
sack and Detectives Hoary and Solo
mon. For an hour and a half they
were under a scorching fire of ques
tions which resulted in the informa
tion that they knew nothing about
the dastardly plot; that they came
from Cleveland to vindicate their '
own name and, if possible, to aid the
authorities Ij-y securing from the
prisoner some statement as to his
reasons for the assassination.

to lie electrocuted in Auburn state

was pronounced the assassin evinced
a desire to speak. "There was no j

a whisper. "Xo one else told me to !
do it and no one paid me to do it. I

THE SCHLEY COURT.

Washington, Sept. 24.- —The pari
played by the battleship Texas in the
naval battle oil' Santiago, July 3,
18!;S, in which the famous Spanish
fleet under Admiral Cervera was
sunk, was the basis of the greater
part of Monday's proceedings in the
Sehley court of inquiry. Of tin? four
witnesses examined during the day,
three had been officers on board the
Texas during the battle and two of
them were new witnesses. These
were Commander Gorge C. Heilner,
who was navigator on the Texas, and
Commander Alexander 1!. Bates, who
was the chief engineer on that bat
tleship. Commander Harber, execu
tive officer and the chief surviving of
ficer of the ship since the death of
Capt. Philip, was recalled. The
fourth witness was Commander Sea
ton Schroeder, executive officer on
the Massachusetts and now governor
of the island of (luam.
The testimony several times during
the day was somewhat, exciting and
it, was especially so when Command
er Heilner described the battle and
the part the Texas had taken in it.
He said that when the Brooklyn
made its loop at the beginning of
the I).it tic it had passed across the
Texas' bow at a distance not to ex
ceed 100 or 130 yards and that nt the
command of Capt. Philip the Texas
had been brought to a dead stop.
Engineer Mates testified that the
starboard engines had been stopped
and said lie thought this also had
happened to the port engines. Com
mander Heilner expressed the opin
ion that three miles had been lost by
this maneuver and the fact that part
of the machinery was deranged. He
said he considered that tiie Texas
was in greater danger when the
Brooklyn crossed her bow thnn at
any other time during the battle.
Washington, Sept. 25. —The Schley
court of inquiry was brought to a
sudden termination for the day IS
minutes after convening yesterday
by the announcement of the sudden
death of Jeremiah Wilson.
Washington, Sept. 26.—Two new
witnesses were introduced in the
Schley court yesterday. They were
Admiral Cotton, who as captain com
manded the auxiliary cruiser Har
vard, and Capt. Wi: e, who commanded
the auxiliary cruiser Vale during the
Spanish war. Both these vessels
were used as scouts and both came up
with the flying squadron off Santiago
on the 27th of May before the retro
grade movement to Key West was
begun.
Admiral Cotton testified that he
had gone aboard Schley's flagship, the
Brooklyn, on that date to take dis
patches to him and he said at first
that he gave him four or five dis
patches addressed to the commander
of the squadron.
lie afterwards modified this state
ment, saying that probably all but
two of these dispatches were ad
dressed to himself (Admiral Cotton),
Ijiit that they contained information
which he thought should be in Ad
miral Schley's possession. One of
these was a copy of a dispatch from
Admiral Sampson, which had not
been printed in the official records,
stating that the Spanish fleet was at
Santiago. lie also said that coal
could have been taken from tin- Mer
riinac on May 2", the day on which
the retrogade movement to Key West
was begun for the purpose of coaling.
Washington, Sept. 27.—The Schley
court of inquiry was in session for
only an hour and three quarters yes
terday, adjourning in order to per
mit its members to attend the funeral
of Judge Wilson, late chief counsel
for Admiral Schley. Capt. Wise con
cluded his testimony. Admiral Cotton
made a brief statement and Lieut.
Spencer S. Wood, who commanded the
dispatch boat Dupont during- the
Spanish war, began his testimony.
Capt. Wise was questioned as to
what he had done before tlie arrival
of the flying squadron off Santiago
towards locating Cervera's fleet in
the harbor. lie said that while he
had satisfied himself of the presence
of the Spaniards, he had been content
to communicate his Knowledge to
Admiral Schley through Capt, Sigs
bee, not considering it necessary to
make direct communication with
Schley.
Lieut. Wood gave the particulars
of his delivery of dispatches from Ad
miral Sampson to Admiral Schley on
May 22. while the admiral lay off
Cienfuegos. lie said that Schley
seemed very nervous and especially
anxious to know what Sampson's in
tentions were.

Xew York, Sept. 27. —One of the
biggest crowds that ever put ti> sea
| went down to the Sandy Hook light
ship yesterday to witness Sir Thomas
| Upton's second challenger, Shamrock
])., and the while flyer Columbia,
which successfully defended the old
America's cup against his first trophy
hunt two years ago, and the struggle
i for the yachting supremacy of the
world, in the first of the cup races
of 1901. But the excursion fleet re
turned disappointed. The great single
stickers went out in the morning
fresh for the battle, but the seas re
fused them a lield of conflict.
THE AMER ( A'S CI
The wind, never more than nine;
and sometimes as low as three knots,
was too light and shifty to carry the
contestants over the 30-mile course in
the time allotted by the rules. At.
the end of five and a half hours, the
prescribed time, tne race was official
ly declared oft and the yachts were
towed back to their berths inside of
.Sandy Ilook. When the gun aboard
the committee 'boat was lired to call
attention to the signal declaring the
race off, the American yacht was still
five miles from the finish line. The
Englishman was well astern of her,
the experts estimating her distance
beyond the Columbia at over three
quarters of a mile.
THE COLUMBIA.
In windwork the Columbia beat the
foreigner seven minutes and 15 sec
onds to the outer mark and increased
her lead somewhat in the broad reach
for home. While the test was unsat
isfactory, the yachting sharps who
have been skeptical up to this time
as to the ability of the Columbia to
successfully defend the cup are more
confident that it will remain on this
side of the Atlantic a while longer.
SHAMROCK 11.
Certainly Columbia's superiority in
light airs appears to have been dem
onstrated. Shamrock 11. did not
make as good a showing as did Lip
ton's first challenger in the first half
dozen flukes that preceded the races
two years ago. What the Shamrock
may be able to do in heavy weather
is of course problematical, but Colum
bia has 'been tried and all her ad
mirers insist that she is distinctly a
heavy weather boat.
Two years ago Sir Thomas' prayer
was for wind, but when he got a
smart 2.">-knot gale in the last race
Columbia's victory was even more de
cisive than in the first. Since then
Columbia's ability yi heavy weather
has been proven ajjain and again. The
harder it blown the faster she goes
and the better she behaves. It is not
strange, therefore, that the patriotic
skippers and spectators who went
down to Sandi* Hook with misgivings,
returned last night reassured.

London, Sept. 27. —The failure of
the yachts to cover the course in time
to constitute a race has created gen
eral disappointment in Great Britain,
but chagrin at the apparent poor
showing of Shamrock 11. overshadows
all other expressions of feeling. The
Suburban population of London was
kept advised of the progress of events
by pyrotechnics at the Alexandra ond
Crystal palaces. The London crowds
chiefly gathered on the embankment,
watching the red anil greea electric
lights making progress up the high
tower, in accordance with the varf«
lug positions of the yachts.
