THE SCRAiSTON TJUf3UiNE-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, lOOJLV
president Mckinley is
Concluded From Fags 1,
forward. Denser the throng became as
new arrival swelled each moment tlie
swaying multitude. The situation wns
becoming critical, when suddenly the
big doors wero Huns open and a fiiiad
of reserves advanced with solid front,
drove the crowd back from the curb,
then across the street anil gradually
succeeded In dlspetslng them from
about the entrance to the station.
By this time there were probably
fifty thousand people assembled In the
vldlnlty of re.irl, Hcneca and Rrle
streets and the terrace.
The crowd was so dene that It bp
came necessary to lope off the entire
street In front of police headquarters
and at a late hour tonight the pollre
were still pntiolllng the sticets In
the tiHghboihooil In squads of thtee
and four.
Inside the station house was assem
bled District Attorney Penney, Super
intendent of Police Hull, Captain Iteu
gan, of the first preilnrt, and other
officers. The prisoner at Hist piovcd
quite communicative, so much so, In
fact, that little dependence inuld be
plated o'n what he said. Ho fit ft gave
his name ns Fled Nlenmu, wild his
home was In Detroit, and that he had
been In Buffalo about a week. He snld
he had been bo.udliiK at a place In
Broadway. Dater this plate was lo
cated as John Novvaks saloon, a
Raines law hotel, No. inTfi Broadway.
Here the prisoner occupied rtooin fi.
Nowak, thp prnpiletor, said he knew
very little about his guest. He i ame
there, he declared, last Saturday, say
ing he had come to see the Pan-American,
and that his home was la Toledo.
He hod been alone at all times about
Nonak's place and had had no vlslt
ors. In his loom was found a small
traveling bag of cheap make. It con
tained an empty uirtildgc box and a
few clothes. With these facts In hand
the police went at the prisoner with
renewed vigor In the effort to obtain
either a full confession or a straight
account of his Identity and movements
pi lor to his anlval In Buffalo. He at
rlrst admitted that he was an nnnuh
lst, In sympathy at least, but denieii
strenuously that the attempt on the
life of the president was the result of
a preconcerted plot of any anarthist
society. At times he was defiant and
again indifferent.
No Sign of Remorse.
But at no time did ho betray the le
motest sign of remorse. He declared
the deed was not premeditated, hut in
the same breath refused to say why he
perpetrated it. When charged by Dis
trict Attorney Penney with being the
instrument of nn organized band of
conspirators, he protested vehemently
that he never even thought of perpe
trating the crime until this morning.
After long and persistent questioning,
It was announced at the police head
quarters that the prisoner had made a
partial confession, which he had signed.
CZOLGOSZ A DISCIPLE
OF EMMA GOLDMAN
The Bloodthirsty Anarchist Saya
That He Became a Member
Through Her Influence.
By Exclusive Wire from The AMOolited rreccs.
Buffalo, Sept. fi. Leon f'olgosz, the
accused and y.elf-conppssetf assassin,
has signed a confession coveting six
pages of foolscap, which states that
he Is an anarchist and that he became
an enthusiastic member of that body
through the influence of Emma (iold
man, whose writings ho has read and
whose lectures he has listened to. Ho
deinles having any confederate and
says he decided on the act three days
ago and bought the revolver with
which the act vvascomnilttcd In Buf
falo. He has peven brothers and sis
ters In Cleveland and the Cleveland
directory has the names of about that
number living on Hosmcr street and
Ackland avenue, which ndjoln. Some
of these ate butchers and the others
In different trades. Ho is now de
tained at police headquarters pending
the result of the president's Injuries.
Czolgosz does not appear In the least
degree uneasy or penitent for his ac
tion. He says he was Induced by his
attention to Emma Goldman's lec
tures and writings to decide that the
present foim of government in this
country was all wrong and he thought
the best way to end it uas by killing
the president. He shows no signs of
Insanity, but Is very reticent about
much of his career. While acknow
ledglng himself an anarchist, ho does
not state to what branch of the organ
ization he belongs.
MRS. M'KINLEY

By Exclusive Wire from The Awoohtcrl Pres,
Buffalo. Sept. fi. immediately after
the president was cared for at tho ex
position grounds, Director General W.
I. Buchanan started for the Milbutn
residence to foiestall any Information
that might reach there by telephone or
otherwise. Very luckily he was flist
to arrive with the infoimatlon. Tho

Klnley and on leturnlng to the Mil
burn residence she took leave of her
nieces, the Misses Barber, nnd tho
president's niece, MIsh Duncan, as well
as their hostess, Mis. Mllburn, and
went to her room to rest,
Mr. Buchanan broke tho news as
gently as possible to the nieces, and
consulted with them and Mrs. Mllbuin
as to the best course to puisne In
breaking the news to Mis. McKlnley.
It was finally decided that on her
awakening, or shortly theienfter, Mr.
Buchanan should break tho news to
her, If In the meantime her physician,
Dr. Rl.xey, had not arrived,
Mrs. McKlnley awoko fiom her sleep
at about 5.30 o'clock. She was feeling

phonic communication therewith cut
off, for thero had been several calls,
and he decided on this as the wisest
com so to put sue, lest Mrs. McKlnley,
heating the continued tinging of the
telephone bell, might Inquire what It
meant.
While the light of day teninlncd, Mrs.
McKlnley continued with her crochet
ing, keeping to her loom, When It be
came dusk and the president had not
arrived, she began to feel anxious con
cerning him.
"1 wonder why he does not come,"
she asked one of hci nicies. At 7
o'clock Dr. Itlxey m lived at the Mil
burn residence. He had been dilven
hutrledly down Delawaie n venue In
an open catilago. As he tame up, Mr.
Buchanan was out on the lawn, ion
versing with a lepotter.
After Hi. Itlxey had gone, Director
denetal Buchanan said that the doctor
had htokcii the news In a most gentle
manner to Mis. McKlnley. He said
she stood it biavcly, though gieatly
affected. If It was possible to bring
him to her, she wanted It done. Dr.
Hlxey assured her that the president
could be bt ought with safety fiont the
oposltlim gtounds, anil when he left
Mr. Mllhurn's It was to complete all
atrangements for the lemoval of the
incident. A big fotce of regular pa
tiolnien weto nsslgned to the Mllburn
residence.
At 7.30, Secretary of Agriculture Wil
son and Miss Wilson called and weio
admitted to the Mllburn residence.

Washington, D. C, Sept. fi Thete
was considerable comment at tho War
depattment today on the icport cabled
fiom Manila that Ameilcan teachers
had piotested against commissary
charges on the government transput ts
and weie denied the privilege of pui
chaslng comnilssaiy stoics at govern
ment w alehouses In the Philippines. It
wns said at the clep.iitment that the
teachers had no understanding with
the government to the eftcct that they
should have commissary privileges on
the tianspoits.
The letteis nnd ciiculars issued by
the department to applicants for these
positions contain no direct statement
upon the subject of conunlssaiy piivl
legos, but the piomlse that they would
have these piivllcges might have been
assumed from some statements con
tained In a "manual of Information
relative to the Philippine civil set vice."
This pamphlet contains the following
regarding the puichase of commls.
s.ulcs:
"Many of the Americans t-ccure
rooms with private families nnd board
In messes, the piovlslons being pur
chased from the c oniiniss.il v It Is also
ptoposed to establish stoics Mlnill.ir to
the army commlt-Mii v stoics for the
benefit of civilian employes, and thus
probably will be able to puichase from
these stores at about 10 per cent, above
the cost to the government."
Several months ago Secretary Root
Issued an order requiring all civilians
to pay $1.25 a day commissary-charges
on government tiansports and also re
voklng thp privilege formerly gi anted
to civilian employes of buying goods
nt the government stoics in the Phil
ippines. These oiders were widely pub
lished, and It wns supposed that the
teachers weio awaie of the regulations.
It is said that the government was
obliged to stop the sale of stoics from
government warehouses In Manila,
owing to certain alleged frauds and to
the complaints of Manila met chants
that they were being deprived of a
large amount of business which legiti
mately belonged to them. The tench
ers In Manila are well paid, and It is
declaied that the prices of living theie

Scranton last night was a hot-bed of
anarchy. Hvery other person met
with was for the nonce, but of course
unthinkingly, declining with the one
breath what he deeilnd with the next,
That the man who attempts to aii
nsslnate McKlnley should live to be
tried for felonious wounding was to
niunj a most hairasslng contempla
tion. To ciush hlni out of existence at
once and by some toi turous method
was the Idea that lodged In the breasts
of most who were heaid giving an
opinion.
Never was tills community more
shocked and Indignant. Never did
news spiend with such mnrvclloun ia
pldlty. At fltst the news would not
be believed. "Thdte must bo some
mistake" was heard on every hand.
"It must be that the report Is exagger
ated" was a general comment.
AVhen, however, the news was es
tablished no a fact, Indignation, was
raised to the highest pitch and sm
pathy, deep and sincere, was all per

That Is the Belief of Dr. CarJ
Seller Reasons That
He Gives.
Dr. f'.irl Seller, the eminent special
ist, does not believe tho president Is
In (Linger uf death from the wounds
he received yesterday. To a Tribune
man he mid last night:
"Thn latest bulletins from President
MeKinley ate, ft 0111 .1 iiiillenl stand
point, veiy enc ciiiiMgnig, Inasmuch ns
the.v lead us to believe that the second
bullet cute led the pieslii-nt's body to
the left ol the breast bone, below tho
heart and p.iMng through the stom
ach is ptnbably lodged In the large
muscle of the back, to the right of tho
spine, riueli a wound, In the light of.
the present advanced methods of sur
ge! y and under the cue of one of tho
most successful MiigccuiH of tho pres
ent time. Dr. Itciswell I'm Ice. must not
be looked upon as necessarily, or even
commonly fatal, and th" physical con
dition of the patient shortly after the
operation of closing the two bullet
hole In the front and back wall of
the stomach, gives us every reason to
believe that the president will mako
a speedy lecovei y.
"Wounds of the walls of the stom
ach aie by no means uncommon and
the patients, ns a nile, recover from
the Injury. The cat licit and most re
markable (hm was that of St. Mm tin,
a Tietieh Canadian guide and hunter,
who was shot In the stomach whllo
hunting In the wilds of Canada -with
an Indian arrow. Ills companion with
drew the iron barbed arrow head and
In doing so cut a gash through the
wall of the stomach and the skin of
the abdomen. "Without ineiHcil assist
ance, the wound healed, leaving nn
opening, however, which enabled St.
Mai tin to travel from city to city, both
In Canada and the United States, sub
mitting himself ns a most welcome
subject to tho Investigations! of emi
nent physicians, for the purpose of in
vestigating tho process of gastrlo di
gestion, lie died nn old man but a few
years ago, fully forty yeais after he
received tho wound.
"Since then, dogs nnd other animals
are constantly operated on to make a
hole In tho stomach for tho purpose of
physiological investigations in regard
to gastric digestion of various sub
stances. Js'or Is It uncommon In mod
ern surgery to open tho stomach in or
ler to removo foreign substances, such
ns falso teeth, coins and other articles
which cannot be digested. In fact, tho
dime museum freaks who swallow
nails, pocket-knives, etc., puhmlt to
the operation ret regular Intervals in
order to clean out the organ and put
it in condition to ho tilled again with
out fatul result.". What wo have most
to fear is tho effect of the shock upon
Mrs. MeKinley, in her enfeebled condi
tion of henlth.
"It is a curious fact that nono of tho
accounts received er far stato with
which hand tho would-bo assassin fired
tho fchots, but wo can infer from tha
position of tho wounds, aa given, that
the shots wero fired with' tho right
hand, and tho pistol, probably of small
calibre, was concealed in a handker
chief wound nround tho hand. If thii
Is so, tho handkerchief nround the
linnd extended as in net of shaking
