STORY OFJHE CRIME Buffalo, Sept. 7.—President McKin fey was shot and seriously wounded oy a would-be assassin while holding a reception in the temple ot' music at the Pan American Exposition a few minutes after 4 o'clock yesterday after noon. One shot took effect In the right breast, the other in the abdomen. The first is not of a serious nature, and the bullet has been extracted. The latter pierced the abdominal wall and has not been located. ■ It was a few moments after 4 p. m. while President McKinley was holding a public reception in the great Temple of Music on the Pan American grounds tiiat the cowardly attack was made, with what success time alone can tell. Standing in the midst of the crowds numbering thousands surrounded by every evidence of good will, pressed by a motley throng of people, show ered with expressions of love and loy alty. besieged by multitudes all eager to clasp his hand, amid these stir round ings and with ever recurring plaudits of an admiring army of sight seers ringing in his ears the blow of the assassin fell and in an instant pleasure gave way to pain, admiration to agony, folly turned to fury and pan dcmonium followed. It was just after the daily organ recital in the splendid temple of music that the dastardly attempt upon the life of the President was made. Planned With Diabolical Ingenuity. The President, though well guarded by United States special service de tectives, was fully exposed to such an attack as occurred. He stood at the edge of the raised dais upon which stands the great pipe organ at the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded in at the various entrances, to gaze upon their executive, perchance to clasp his hand, and then fight their way out in the good-natured mob that every minute swelled aiid multiplied at the points of ingress and egress to the building. The President was in a cheerful mood and was enjoying to the full the hear ty evidences of go»d will which every where met his gaze. Upon his right stood John O. Milburn, of Buffalo, the president of the Pail-American Expo sition, chatting with the President and introducing to him especially persons of note who approached. Upon the President's left stood Mr. Cortelyou. It was shortly after 4 p. m., when one of the throng which surrounded the presidential parly, a medium-sized man of ordinary appearance, and plain ly dressed in black, approached as if to greet the President. Sharp Crack of the Revolver. President McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that spirit of geniality the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voices, the shuffling of myriad feet and vibrating waves of applause that ever and anon swept heru and there over the assem blage. There was an instant of almost com plete silence. The President stood stock still, a look of hesitancy, almost of bewilderment on his face. Then he retreated a step while a pallor be gan to steal over his features. Then came a commotion. With the leap of a tiger three men threw them selves forward, as with one impHlse ami sprang toward the would-be assas sin. Two of them were United States secret service men who were on the lookout, and whose duty it was to guard aginst just such a calamity as had here befallen (he President of the nation. The third was a bystander, a negro, who had only an instant pre viously grasped In his dusky palm the hand of the President. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the President's assailant. In a twinkling he was borne to the ground, his wea pon was wrested from his grasp and strong arms pinioned him down. Crowd Surged Forward. For a moment the confusion was ter rible. The crowd surged forward re gardless of consequences. Men shouted and fought, women screamed and chiidien cried. Some of those nearest the doors fled from the edifice in fear of a stampede, while hundreds of others from the outside struggled blindly forward in the effort to penetrate the crowded building and solve the mystery of excitement and panic, which every moment grew and swelled within the congested interior of the edifice. But of the multitude which wit nessed or bore a part in the scene of turmoil and turbulence there was but one mind which seemed to retain its equilibrium, one hand which remained steady, one eye which gazed with un flinching calmness, and one voice which retained Its even tenor and fal tered not at the most critical juncture. They were the mind and the hand and the eye and the voice of President Mc- Kinley. President Remained Calm. After the first shock of the assas sin's shots, he retreated a step, then as the detectives leaped upon his as sailant, he turned, walked steadily to a chair and seated himself, at the same time removing his hat and bow ing his head In his hands. In an inHtant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milhurn were at his side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the President, meanwhile ad monlshing those about him to remain calm, and telling them not to be alarmed. "But you are wounded," cried his secretary. "Let me examine." "No, I think not," answered the Pres ident. "I am not badly hurt, I as sure you." Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loos-med, and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its way down his breast. spreading its tell-tale stain ov»r the white surface of the linen, their worst fears were confirmed. The President's assailant m the meantime had been hustled to the rear of the building by Exposition guards, where he was held while the building was cleared, and later he was turned over to Superintendent Bull, of the Buffalo police department, who took the prisoner to No. 16 police station, and afterward to police headquarters. As soon as the crowd in the temple of music had been dispersed sufficiently the President was removed in the au tomobile ambulance and taken to the Exposition hospital, where an exam ination was made. The best medical skill was summoned, and within a brief period several of Buffalo's best known practitioners were at the pa tient's side. On the Operating Table. The President retained the full ac count of his faculties until placed on the operating table and subjected to an anaesthetic. Upon the first exam ination it was ascertained that one bullet had taken effect in the right breast just below the nipple, causing a comparatively harmless wound. The other took effect in the abdo men, about four inches below the left nipple, four inches to the left of the navel, and about on a level with it. Upon arrival at the Exposition hospi tal the second bullet wound was probed for. The walls of the abdomen were opened, but the ball was not lo cated. The incision was hastily closed, and after a hasty consultation it was decided to remove the patient to the home of President Milburn. This was done, the automobile ambulance being used for the jurpose. Arrived at the Milburn residence, all persons outside the medical attendants, nurses and the officials immediately concerned, were excluded, and the task of probing for the bullet which had lodged in the ab domen was begun by Dr. Roswell Parke. When the news of the crime was telephoned to the home of Presi dent Milburn, where Mrs. McKinley was resting, immediate steps were taken to spare her the shock of a pre mature statement of the occurrence before the true condition of the Presi dent should be ascertained. Guards were stationed, and no one was per mitted to approach the house. Mrs. McKinley Hears the News. When it was decided to remove the President from the Exposition hospi tal to the Milburn residence, the news was broken to Mrs. McKinley as gently as might be by the members of the Milburn family. She bore the shock remarkably well, and displayed the ut most fortitude. While the wounded President was being borne from the Exposition to the Milburn residence between rows of onlookers with bared heads, a far different spectacle was being wit nessed along the route of his assail ant's journey from the scene of his crime to police headquarters. The trip was made so quickly that the pris oner was safely landed within the wide portals of the police station and the doors closed before any one was aware of his presence. Crowd Cried: "Lynch Him." The news of the attempted assas sination had iti the meanwhile been spread broadcast by the newspapers, ike wildfire it spread from mouth to mouth. Then bulletins began to ap pear on the boards along newspaper row, and when the announcement was made that the prisoner had been taken to police headquarters, only two blocks distant from the newspaper section, the crowds surged down toward the terrace eager for a glimpse of the pris oner. At police headquarters they were met by a strong cordon of police, which was drawn up across the pave ment on Pearl street, and admittance was denied to any out officials author ized to take part in the examination of the prisoner. In a few minutes the crowd had grown from tens to hun dreds. and these in turn quickly swelled into thausands, until the street was completely blocked with a mass cf humanity. It was at this juncture that some one raised the cry of "Lynch him." Like a flash the cry was taken up, and the whole crowd, as if ignited by the single match thus ap plied, re-echoed the cry: "Lynch him," "Hang him." Closer the crowd surged forward. Denser the throng became as new arrivals swelled each moment the swaying multitude. The situation was becoming critical, when suddenly the big doors were flung spen and a squad of reserves advanced with solid front, drove the crowd back from the curb, then aoross the street and gradually succeeded in dispersing them from about the entrance to the station. The man's name is Leon Czolgozz. He is of Polish-German extraction. His home is in Cleveland, where he has seven brothers and sisters. He is an avowed Anarchist and an ardent disci ple of Emma Goldman, whose teach ings, he alleges, are responsible for to day's attack on the President. He denies steadfastly that he is the in strument of any body of Anarchists or the tool of any coterie of plotters. He declares he did not even have a confederate. His only reason for the deed, he declares, is that he believed the present form of government in the United States was unjust, and he con cluded that the most effective way to remedy it was to kill the President. These conclusions, he declared, he reached through the teachings of Em ma Golman. VIEWS PROM VIENNA. Austrian Journal* Strong In Denuncia tion of Anarchism. Vienna. Sept. 9. —The Vienna news papers expiess themselves very Btrongly in denunciation of Anarchism. The Neues Wiener Tageblatt says: "The country, in its bitterness, will probably take energetic measures to destroy the nursery of Anarchism in the United States." Czolgosz Identified In Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 9.—lf any further proof were needed that Leon Czolgosz was the guest of Chicago Anarchists shortly before he 'went to Buffalo on his murderous mission it was supplied yesterday by three of the prisoners at the central police station.

URGING A SETTLEMENT Executive Board Tells Shaffer to End the Battle. Pittsburg. Sept. 9. —If the plans of President Shaffer were for the execu tive board togo to New York and confer with President Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation, to day, those plans were abandoned. It is intimated by those in close touch, with the executive hoard that they had plainly told Mr. Shaffer that a settle ment of the strike was imperative, and that he had better put himself into communication with President Schwab and have a plain understanding at once. In other words, the executive board of the Amalgamated Association were pushing the leader for a settle ment and to end the battle. It was said also in a semi-official way that possi bly President Shaffer was comwiunicat ing with President Schwab personally yesterday. It was believed that he had either gone to Mr. Schwab's summer home in Loretto or else was meeting him in New York. Leaders are mak ing strenuous efforts to hold the men in line, with the hope that some means of a settlement will come in a few days at the furthest. If it fails the men, it is believed, will break away and return to work as individuals. That would be worse than the terms that have been thus far offered by the corporation. At the same time the de lay that has occurred, and is still going on, under the terms offered is telling more severely than ever against the strikers and their organization. YOIINGWSDSED Great Interest Shown in the Com ing League Club Convention. SCRANTON MOST HOSPITABLE The Opening Gun of the Republican State Campaign Will Be Fired at This Gathering of Loyal Pennsylva nia Republicans. (Special Correspondence.)

This promises to be the largest club league convention held in this state since the memarable gathering which assembled in the city of Scranton to decide the great contest between Congressman John Dalzell, representing the opponents of the regu lar Republican organization leadership, and former Congressman "Jack" Rob inson, of Delaware, who won out in a remarkably brilliant linish for the presidency of the league. This year the aim of the leaders of the Republican organization is to bring the young Republicans to the front and have them through the state league of clubs organize the Republicans of their respective localities and rally them to the polls on election day for the full Republican ticket. MANY PROMINENT MEN REPRE SENTED. The convention this year will be at tended by some of the most prominent of the Influential Republicans «112 the state. Senators Quay and Penrose. Governor Stone, Attorney General El kin, Secretary of the Commonwealth ! Griest and nearly the entire congres sional delegation will be on hand to help make the occasion a representa tive gathering of stalwart Republicans. The platform will sound the keynote of the campaign and from the adoption of this declaration of principles there will be inaugurated one of the most aggressive and thorough campaigns ever carried on in this state in behalf of the Republican party. PRESIDENT MOORE ENTHUSIASTIC In commenting upon the outlook for a large convention, J. Hampton Moore, president of the state leaguo of clubs, said: "We expect to have about 250 clubs from the various counties of Pennsyl vania represented at the Scranton con vention, and we expect to have enthu- ' slastic and intelligent political effort in fair proportion. "Usually Philadelphia and Alle gheny supply the majority of the dele gates, and this year will be 110 excep tion. although we are happy to report a number of new clubs from counties like Berks and Schuylkill, whiafc fcavo heretofore been but slightly repre sented. "Lackawanna and Luzerne, being close to the seat of assembly, are also particularly well up on the rolls this year. "Our advice from Pittsburg, Erie and other western counties are quite encouraging. Postmaster Sobel, of Erie, together with Mayor Depinet and Chairman Hay, of the county commit tee, are at work. From Pittsburg we 'have advices from both sides that the energetic Young Republicans will be heard from. Former President Arch Mackrell is among those who are stirring up interest. The trip to Scran ton is regarded in two lights; first, as a good political move; second, as a good excursion under pleasant aus pices. 1 "The largest county delegation will be from Philadelphia. Plans in that county are being laid for an excursion of 500 active, hustling young party men. They will leave Broad street sta tion on a special train Tuesday morn ing, September 17, at 9 o'clock, and will arrive in Scranton about 3.30 in the afternoon. The local committee is ar ranging to make the trip a very enjoy able one. SCRANTONIANS ARE ACTIVE. "At the Scranton end the prepara tions are being conducted by a commit tee of the most prominent citizens. Milton W. Lowry, formerly vice presi dent of the league, is general chairman, and is being assisted by such men as Congressman Connell, Major Warren and Deputy Attorney General Fleitz. "The splendid new armory building in Scranton has been secured for the mass meeting, at which Senator Thurs ton. Governor Stone and others are to speak. We shall also present some of the younger and growing men of the party. The convention will adopt a platform and take action on the state nominations. It will also elect officers for the ensuing year. "We have invited many prominent men to witness the proceedings and expect to have present the ex-presi dents, consisting of ex-Mayor Stuart, of Philadelphia; former Congressman Robinson, of Media, who made his cel ebrated fight against Congressman Dal zell at Scranton; Major Everett War ren, Isador Sobel, of Erie, and Arch Mackrell, of Pittsburg."
