EARLIEST DATE UNDER THE LAW, AMimmln Saya He Alone Committed the Crime—No One Told lllm to 110 It—Taken, Cloaely (Guarded, to Au burn l'rlaou. Buffalo. Sept. 27.—Leon F. Czolgosz, the murderer of President McKlnley, was yesterday afternoon sentenced to die in the electric chair during the week beginning Oct. 28. This is the earliest date which could be selected in accordance with law. The police arrangements at the city hall wet*e even more stringent than during the trial. All sorts of excuses were given by those anxious to gain admission to the room, and half an tiour before the time announced for the opening of the*court the place was fill ed and the doors were locked. After half past 1 110 one but officials connect ed with the court or newspaper men was allowed to enter. About twenty five ifdnu-toe to 2 o'clock District At torney Penney and assistants entered the courtroom. He was accompanied by several distinguished guests who sat with him at his desk. At fire minutes to 2 o'clock the pris oner was brought into court shackled to Detectives Geary and Solomon, ac companied Hi* Assistant Superintend ent C'usack and Jailer Mitchell. The crowd sought to surge about them, and it was with difficulty that tipstaffs cleared a channel down the aisle to the prisoner's seat. \>rvoun. lint Steady. Czolgosz was perspiring. He seemed a bit nervous, though he did not trem ble, and his gait was steady. Ite took bis seat and- mopped bis brow with bis handkerchief when he settled baVk Into his chair. His wonted listless altitude was absent. He kept his eyes wide open and looked about blm occasionally, but presently 110 drop ped his eyes to the table ahead of him and resumed his former listless air. At twelve minutes past 2 Justice White took his seat 011 the bench, and the crier announced the opening of court. "Czolgosz, stand up," commanded District Attorney Thomas Penney. The assassin arose. "What, is your name?" asked Mr. Penney. "Leon F. Czolgosz." "How old are you?" "Twenty-eight years." "Where were you born?" "Detroit." "Where were you living when arrest ed?" "Cleveland." "What is your occupation?" "Iron worker." "Arc you married or single?" "Sin gle." "Are your father and mother alive?" "My father i.s alive. My mother is tkurd." Czolgosz's replies were so low that he could not be heard five feet away. "Have you any legal excuse why sen tence should not be pronounced against you?" "XotltliiK ti Say," Czolgosz could not or pretended lie could not hear the question put by the clerk. It was repeated to him twice, and then lie said something in an inau dible tone. The judge Intervened and explained what was meant by the ques tion. "First you may claim you are insane. The next is have you good cause to of fer against sentence being pronounced against you?" The judge also stated legal reasons tlie prisoner might have against sentence being pronounced. "I have nothing to say about that, Judge," was the reply. Judge Titus said he thought the pris oner ought to be permitted to make a statement in exculpation of his family. Turning to tlie prisoner again, Judge Titus held a brief conference. Then counsel for the defendant, said: "He says no other person had anything to do with It: that 110 other person knew of his commission but himself. His fa ther or mother or uo one else knew anything about it." The prisoner closed his lips, stared straight ahead of him and awaited tlie court's pronouncement of bis doom. The sentence was brief. The Sentence. "Czolgosz." said tlie court, "you have committed a grave crime against the state and our Union in the assassina tion of our beloved president. After learning all the facts and circumstan ces in tlie case twelve good men have pronounced you guilty of murder in the first degree. You say that 110 other per son abetted you in tlie commission of this terrible act. Tlie penalty is fixed by statute, and it becomes my duty to impose sentence upon you. The sen tence of this court is that in the week beginning Oct. 28. at the place desig nated and in the manner prescribed by law. you suffer punishment of death." Czolgosz stood erect, looking straight at tlie judge. He did not tremble, not a muscle quivered. As soon as the death sentence was finished be took his seat In the same indifferent manner that lias characterized him throughout th<* trial. Ho was brought to his feet quickly by the officers at twenty min utes past 2. They shackled him and led him away to the jail, while the crowd surged after them. Sheriff Caldwell and sixteen men left at 10:00 with Czolgosz in a special car for Auburn. ranlgom Col In pmp*. Auburn, N. Y..

New York, Sept. 27.—The first of the international yacht races between the Columbia and Shamrock 11. yesterday resulted in no contest, the yachts being unable to finish within the time limit. The Columbia was apparently lend ing by over a mile when the race was called off at 4:33, with the Columbia three miles from the finish. The Columbia crossed the starting line at 11:10:49, twelve seconds ahead of Shamrock, and led almost all of the way on the beat to the outer mark. From there on the way home she was continually in front. When the contest began, a ton knot breeze was blowing. It gradually died down to six knots, but when Colombia turned the outer mark at 3:00 it had picked up to nine knots. Shamrock turned the mark at 3:12:30. Owing to a shift in the wind to a southerly direction the yachts had a broad reach home instead of u run. Columbia increased her lend after turning the outer mark, but Shamrock gained a bit during the latter part of the run home. Twenty thousand persons on a vast flotilla witnessed the uncompleted con test. The captain of each craft displayed admirable seamanship. The next attempt will be made to morrow. At the New York Yacht club in For ty-fourth street there was almost as much rejoicing as though the race had actually been won. It was freely ad mitted that previous to yesterday's trial there was considerable uneasi ness as to what the final result would be. Now, however, there is not a member of the club who lias not the ut most confidence that it is merely a mat ter of getting three days when the wind Is strong enough to bring the yachts home within the time limit. kdnard VII. Got IlnlletinM. London, Sept. 27.—King Edward dis played great interest in the yacht race and was kept posted through bulletins as to every movement of the boats. He feels no worse about the result than does every Englishman. Green ribbons were conspicuously worn, and among the masses there is the keenest disappointment over the poor showing of Shamrock 11. CHARGES AGAINST BIDWELL. Collector of tlie l'ort of New York 1 inter Fire. Washington. Sept. 27.—There were two developments in the executive mansion yesterday that brought for ward conspicuously the political situa tion in New York. One was the leaking out of informa tion that charges had been filed with the president against George It. Bid well, collector of the port of New York. The other was the call on the presi dent "by Colonel George W. Dunn, chaiiuiinit of the New York Republican state committee, for the purpose of talking over the entire political sit uation in tlie Empire State. President Roosevelt is good at keep ing secrets, and the fact that charges had been filed against Mr. Bid well was not known until last evening, although it is understood they have been in offi cial hands for nearly a week. Filing of the charges means that a determined effort is to be made to pre vent the reappointment of the collector. The existence of the charges explains the president's position toward the col lector- that he would reappoint him unless something appeared to show that some other person ought to be giv en the very important customs berth. It also explains the extreme eagerness of the collector's friends to have the president announce his confidence in Mr. Bid well at an early day. In the treasury department the im pression is given that Mr. Bidwell is as good as reappointed. It is Impossible now to ascertain who lias brought the charges against the collector or the nature of the com plaints. I.eneral Din* In I'nnnnifi. Colon. Sept. 27.—Panama is terribly unsettled owing to apparently well founded reports brought by incoming steamers and received from other sources which assert that an expedition numbering between 1-50 and 200 men under General Domingo Diaz, which sailed from Corinto, Nicaragua, two weeks ago, effected a safe lauding at a place called Ohanie, about fifty miles south of Panama. Clianie offers splen did natural facilities for resisting at tack. and the expedition is said to lie well armed and equipped and to be in possession of modern guns.

All of the party lead ers were present excepting United States Senior Sewell, who, on account of illness, missed his first convention in twenty-six years.

It was aimed not at tiie gentle and lovable McKiuley, but at the republic and the majesty of law. which guarantee liberty of per son and safety of property. "Any doctrine which justifies or en courages assassination is utterly hos tile to civilization and the welfare of mankind and must be no longer tol erated in this country, and we demand and insist that laws, state and nutlou- FRANKLIN MURPHY, al. be enacted for the effective sup pression of such teachings. "The pledge of President Roosevelt that lie will continue absolutely un broken the policy of President McKin ley has our umiualified approval and entitles him to our loyal support. "If continued in power, the Repub lican party pledges to guard the sources of Income of the state and to use the surplus thereof for the further reduction of the rate of local taxation, tiie enlargement of our school system, the extension of our good roads, the benefit of our agriculture and our in dustries and tiie common Interest and welfare of the whole people." >Ollll nut ion Certain.

LINCOLN'S COFFIN OPENED. Ilenvj I.*n<lu Covfrliiß ChUeled Open With Plumber'* Tool*. Springfield, 111., Sept. 27.—1n spite of the protest of ills only living child the body of Abraham Lincoln was expos ed to light yesterday. 111 the presence of a small assemblage of men and wo men the metallic casket that for more than thirty-six years has contained the remains of the president was forced open. Each of the party present gazed at the features made familiar by plate ami print. Then the casket was re sealed and placed in what is intended shall be the final resting place, a bed of iron and masonry fifteen feet below the base of the shaft of the national Lincoln monuineut. Just who is responsible for the open ing of the casket in spite of the avowed opposition of Robert T. Lincoln is diffi cult to ascertain. It is generally ad mitted by those present, however, that the proposition to expose the body met with vigorous protest and that it was only after considerable discussion that this course was resolved upon. Then every one of the assemblage was pledg ed to secrecy regarding the proceeding. But those among the party who saw in the desire to open the casket only the morbid curiosity of their neigh bors were so shocked by the exposure that they are now openly denouncing the net. The heavy leaden covering of the casket was chiseled open with plumber's tools. Five of the sixteen persons in the as semblage were present when the coffin was opened fourteen years ago. After a brief exposure the casket was sealed again. The trustees of the Lincoln monument are the governor of Illinois, the state treasurer and the state su perintendent of public instruction.
