The unveiling of the monument to
Commodore Perry | at Kurihama, Ja-
pan, recalls the fact that in 1833 the
-~: of that island were hardly su-
perior te the Chinese, and certainly
rot less exclusive. By opening their
ports to commerce at the imstance of
the United States and by welcoming
the advances of civilization the Jap-

anese have devloped into
astern power which must
Ited in relation to all internationar
guegtions affecting the nations that
=~ on the Pacific. Not only com-
merce, but education, industries and
social customs have been influenced
by the contact with the white races
which was made imperative by the
landing of Commodore Perry. Japan
has every cause to make that occa-
sion memorabie.
According to the Baltimore Sun a
man need not be a scholar to be an
inventor. One of the most successful
eronauts of old times who had made
= judy of aerial currents and the
megnagement of balloens, once deliv-
cred an address in which he referred
to the “anaconda” as *‘the largest bird
that ever flew,” and he also remarked
that “the mental faculties of a man’s
mind is so constructed as to bring
things down to a pin’s pint.” He also
referred to the currents of air as
stretchums, meaning strata, and yet
he was one of the foremost balloonists
of his time. He was an inventor 80
of many useful things, and was”the
first man in the country to suggest an
ironclad man of war with sl
sides. He built a miniature /vessel
on this plan of sheet iron, placed it
in the water and fired musket balls at
it at short range. Every wf glanced
off. The Merrimac was builf on a sim-
ilar plan, and from that humble Dhe-
ginning the evolution or revolution
in naval architecture took its start.

Secretary Cortelyou Promises the Truth.
Secretary Cortelyou has made the fol-
lowing announcement because of inti-
nations in certain sensational news-
oapers that the bulletins of the physi-
sians under-estimated the gravity of the
President's condition :
The public will be kept fully advised
of the actual condition of the President.
Each bulletin is carefully and conserva-
tively prepared, and is an authoritative
statement of the most important features
of the case at the hour it is issued. The
people are entitled to the facts, and shall
have them.
(Signed) GEORGE B. CORTELYOU,
Secretary to the President.
This statement is intended to put at
rest any idea that the official bulletins
underestimate the conditions, and, at
the same time, to give assurance that
those with the President intend that the
people shall have the facts.

OPINIONS OF HIS DOCTORS.
Canger in the President's Case is Rapidly
Passing, Though Not Yet Gone.
Buffalo (Special).—Dr. Chas. McBur-
ney said after the issue of the 3 P. M.
bulletin that all the indications.contin-
ued favorable. ®
“No. bad symptoms have appeared,”
said he, “but no one can say now that
the President is out of danger. For a
week still the possibility of complica-
tions may exist. At the end of that
time, if all goes well, we may be able to
say that he is convalescent.”
“But I have known cases,” put in Dr.
Mann, who was present, “to go well for
ten days and then change for the
worse.”
“That is true perhaps,” said Dr. Mc-
Burney, somewhat deprecatingly, “but
it is unusual. If the President contin-
ues to improve for a week we may safely
be no attempt to extract the bullet at
present. I see no reason why thy Presi-
dent will not recover rapidly.”
Dr. Roswell Parke said:
“If in such a case as that of the ol
dent the patient is in good condition at
the end of the third day ti® attendants
are justified in regarding him as having
passed a most critical period. We can-
not allow him to talk much yet or per-
mit him to tire himself in any way.”
MRS. M’KINLEY HAS FAITH.
Nerved by Strong Belief That Her Husbaad
Will Recover Rapidly.
Buffalo, N. Y. (Special). —“We trust
in God and believe Mr. McKinley is go-
ing to recover speedily. I know he has
the best medical attendance that can be
obtained and I am perfectly satisfied
that these doctors are handling the case
splendidly. It is a great pleasure to
know the deep interest and sympathy
felt by the Ameican people. The case
is progressing so favorably that we are
very happy.” :
Mrs. McKinley, the wife of the Presi-
dent, said this at the Milburn house just
after the 3 o'clock bulletin of the physi-
cians was issued. Phis bulletin wonder-
fully encouraged her.
SCENE AT THE SHOOTING.
Mr. McKinley Bisplayed Wonderful Nerve
After Being Wounded.
William McKinley, President of th:
United States, was shot twice and seri-
ously wounded by Leon Czolgosz, a
self-confessed anarchist, at 4 o'clock
Friday afternoon in the Temple of Mu-
sic at the Pan-American Exposition at
Buffalo. .
The assassin denies that he had ‘an
accomplice, -but an unknown Italian,
who was near him before he fired, acted
suspiciously. Czolgosz says he is a dis-
ciple of Emma Goldman. Late Friday
night six anarchists were arrested in
Chicago charged with being implicated
in a plot to kill the President.
Buffalo, N. Y. (Special).—Five min-
utes before the President was shot the
crowd was in the most cheer’ul humor
in the Temple of Music. The police
had found no trouble of any kind, and
when the President's carriige, contain-
ing, beside the Chief Executive, Presi-
dent John G. Milburn, of the Pan-
American Exposition, and Private Sec-
retary George B. Cortelyou, drove up
{ say that he is a convalescent. «i

probably bé ‘three weeks before i pill
be safe to move him. We must wait hi
the outer wound is healed and strong.
The inner wounds through the storhach
proper will be strong before the exte-
rior wound is. How long it will be be-
fore he is able to sit up will depend
upon the rapidity of his improyement,
and I may say further that his ihprove-
ment, if it continues, promises to be
rapid.”
Dr. McBurney was asked t
the Garfield case and it
that of President McK
as he replied that to do so
give the whole history of
of surgery during the last 20 years.
“Besides,” said he, “the, cases are ut-
terly different. Garfield's wound was
an extremely unfortunate one in every
way. It was difficult to handle, it was
impossible to get at the bullet, while
the wound of President ¥cKinley is in
many respects a lucky/one. No com-
parison is possible /
Dr. P. M. Rixey zal:
“I am not a specialist in abdominal
surgery, but from a general knowledge
of gunshot wounds I can say that the
only possibility of gomplications was by
blood poisoning oy peritonitis, and that
I consider both ngfv very remote proba-
bilities. Peritonsis might set in as a
result of the two fapertures in the stom-
ach, but up to tlfs time—a time beyond
the usual stafdard record—not the
slightest symptom of it is manifest.
There is not ‘he slightest evidence of
blood poisoning. As to the bullet not
yet extracted, I do not believe we need
worry about‘that. The presumption is
that it is lodged somewhere in the mus-
cles of the back. Pursuing natural
courses, it would now be encysted and
cut off from possible harm. There will

to the side entrance to the Temple it
was met by a mighty salute of cheers
and applause.
The three alighted and were escorted
to the door of the building.
Almost immediately a carriage con-
| taining Secret Service men George Fos-
!ter and Samuel R. Ireland dreve up,
and these detectives, with several other
Secret Service men, entered the build-
ing together. Inside they were met by
Director-General Buchanan, who had
arrived but a moment before, and he di-
rected them as to where to stand.
In passing to the place the President
took off his hat and smiled pleasantly
to a little group of newspaper men and
{ to the guards who had been stationed
in the place. To one of the reporters
he spoke smilingly, saying:
“It is much cooler in, here, isn't it?”
President Stood im Aisle.
The interior of the building had been
arranged for the reception. From the
main entrance, which opens to the
southeast from the temple into the wide
esplanade, where thousands had gath-
ered, an aisle had been made through
the rows of seats in the building to a
point naer the centre. This aisle was
about eight feet wide and turned pear
| the centre to the southwest door of the
| temple, so that there was a passage
| dividing the south part of the structure
{into a right angle.
| It was so arranged that the ople
{ who would shake hands with the Presi-
| dent would enter at the southeast door,
eet the President in the centre and
[then pass on out at the southwest door.
Where the aisle made the curve in the
entre of the building the corner had
been decorated with tall palms and
green plants, so the President stood un-
joe a bower. Both sides of the long
aisle were covered with continuous

Saratoga, N. Y. (Special).—Herman
| O. Armour, of New York city, died
suddenly of apoplexy at his summer
{ cottage here. Mr. Armour, who had
[been in comparatively frail health for
| some time, was able to ride out once or
twice a day and appeared to be gaining
strength. Sunday, accompanied by a
coachman, he took his regular drive,
and on his return stated he felt much

| seated on the porch of his cottage con-
versing with friends. Suddenly he ceas-
| ed talking and immediately expired.

Soldiers Weref at Hand.
From tlpe southeast door and extend-
ing on up\to and arfund the curve was
a line of soldiers frofm the Seventy-thigd
Seacoast Artillery ¢in each side. Thiese
were intersper :d with neatly uniformed
guards from ae Hoxposition police, un-
der the com .andf of Captain Damer.
When the Presfidential party was with-
in the building tghe soldiers came to “at
tention” and alif took their places. The
President was fscorted to the centre of
the palm bowefr and Mr. Milburn took a
position on hfis left, so as to introduce
the people asf they came in.
Secretary ff Cortelvou stood by the
President tof the right. Secret Service-
man Fostefr, who has traveled everv-
where withf the President, took a po-i-

all was ready with detectives
scattered throughout the aisle, the
sident smiled to Mr. Buchanan, who
standing near the corporal in
‘Ifarge of the artillerymen, and said that
hfe was ready to meet the people. He
vas very ple.sant and as he waited for
the doors to open he rubbed his hands
together, adjusted his long Prince A)-
bert coat, and laughingly chatted with
Mr. Milburn. Secretary Cortelyou gave
a few last instructions to the officers as
to the manner in which the crowds were
to be hurried on through, so that as
many as possible could meet the Ex-
ecutive.
Mr. Milburn ordered the door to
open, and a wavering line of people who
had been squeezed against the outside
of the door for hours, began to wend
its way up through the lines of soldiers
and police to the place wicre the Presi-
dent stood. An old man with silver-
white hair was the first to reach the
President, and on his shoulder the little
girl he carried received a warm saluta-
tion.
Organist W. J. Gomph started on a
sonata, low at first, and swelling gradu-
ally to more majestic proportions until
the whole auditorium was filled with the
melodious tones of the big pipe organ.
The crowd had been pouring through
hardly more than five minutes when the
organist brought from his powerful in-
strument its most roaring notes, drown-
ing even the scuffle of feet.
Fully half of the people who passed
the President were women and children.
To every child the President bent over,
shook hands warmly and said some kind
words, so as to make the young heart
glad. As each person passed he or she
was viewed critically by the secret ser-
vice men. Hands were watched, faces
and actions noted.
A Supposed Accomplice.
Far dewn the line a man of unusual
aspect appeared taking his turn in the
line. He was short, heavy, dark, and be-
neath a heavy dark mustache was a pair
of straight bloodless lips. Under the
black brows gleamed a pair of glistening
black eyes.
He was picked at once as a suspicious
person and when he reached Foster the
rsecret service man held a hand on him
until he had gotten to the President and
had clasped the Chief Executive's hand.
Ireland was equally alert and the slight-
est move on the part of this man, who
is now supposed to have been an accomp-
lice, and for whom a search is being
made, would have been checked by the
officers.
The Assailant Enters.
Immediately following this man was
the President's assailant. He was a
rather tall, boyish-looking fellow, ap-
parently 25 years old, and of foreign ex-
traction. His smooth, rather pointed
face would not indicate his purpose in
slaying the nation’s Executive.
The secret service men noted that
about his right had was wrapped a hand-
kerchief. As he carried the hand up-
lifted, as if supported by a sling under
his coat, the officers believed his hand
was injured, and especially as he extend-
ed his left hand across the right so as to
shake hands with the President. It was
noticed that the person who was in front
of the assassin held back, apparently to
shield the young man, so that it was nec-
essary for Ireland to push him on.
The organist had now reached the cli-
max to the wild strains of the sonata. A
more inspiring scene could hardly be
imagined. Innocently facing the assas-
sin the President smiled a smile of dig-
nity and benevolence as he extended his
right hand to meet the left of the sup-
posedly wounded fiend.
Twe Rapid Shots.
As the youth extended his left hand
he, quick as a flash, as if trained by long
practice, whipped out his right hand—
the one which held the pistol. Before
anyone knew what was transpiring two
shots rang out, one following the other
after the briefest portion of a second.
For the first moment there was an aw-
ful hush. The sonata died instantly, the
people stopped and could not breathe.
Then there was pandemonium. The
Chief Executive, it was known, had been
shot.
The President drew his right hand
quickly to his chest, raised his head and
his eyes rolled. He swerved a moment,
reeled and was caugat in the arms of
Secretary Cortelyou, to his right,
“May God Forgive Him.”
Catching himself for the briefest sec-
ond the President, whose face was now
of the whiteness of death, looked at the
assassin as officers and soldiers bore
him to the fiflbr and said feebly and with
the most berf§volent look it is possible to
imagine:
“May God forgive him.”
The President was carried first one
way, then a step in another direction.
The excitement was so sudden that for
a moment no one knew what to do. Fi-
nally someone advised carrying him in-
side the purple edge of the aisle and seat-

seventeen men on a flat car. As the

carried the Preside over the line an
into the passageway leading to the stag¢y
which had not been used.
The President was able to walk a lit-
tle, but was leaning heavily on his gs-
cewts. In passing over the bunting his
ft caught and for a moment he stum-
bled. A reporter extricated his foot, and
tiie President was carried to a seat,
where half a dozen men stood by and
fanned him vigorously. Quick calls were
sent for doctors and to the ambulance.
“This Wound Pains Greatly.”
While scated for a moment Secretary
Cortelyou leaned over the President and
inquired :
“Do you feel much pain?”
White and trembling, the President
slipped his hand into the opening of his
shirt front near the heart and said:
“This wound pains greatly.”
As the President withdrew his hand
the first and second fingers were covered
with blood. He looked at them, his hand
dropped to his side, and he became
fainter. His head dropped heavily to his
chest and those about him turned away.
During this pathetic scene, while tears
were filling the eves of those about the
President, who realized their utter pow-
erlessness to help him, Minister Aspi-
roz, cf Mexico, broke through the little
crowd excitedly and awakened the faint
into which the President had sunk by
dramatically exclaiming in English:
“Oh, my God, Mr. President, are you
shot?”
While the excited diplomat was be-
ing restrained from caressing the Ex
ecutive and falling at his feet, the Presi-
dent replied, gasping between each
word:
“Y es———I—helieve——I——am.”
The President's head then fell back-
ward and he partiaily fainted. Mr. Mil-
burn then placed his hand back of
the wounded man’s head and ¢npporte.l
it. This seemed to resuscitate the Presi-
dent and he sat stoically on the chair,
his legs spread out on the floor, his lips
clinched firmly, as if he would fight de-
terminedly against death. le was giv-
ing the fight of a soldier, and more
than one turned away tremblingly—all
in the building trembled and shook, not
from fear, but the tension—and remark
ed: ’
“He is certainly a soldier.”
As soon as possible the President was
taken to the Emergency Hospital on
the Exposition grounds in an automo-
bile ambulance. At the hospital the sur
geons probed for the bullets. Later the
President was removed to the home of
Mr. J. G. Milburn.
While all this was transpiring the
tragedy had not yet ended on the scene
of the shooting. The shots had“gardly
been fired when Foster and ;
were on top of the assailant.
quick as thought had knog
smoking weapon from the n
and at the same time he and
panion officer, with a dozen
police and as many artiller)
upon the assailant. The mal
ally crushed to the floor.
While the President was
away the artillerymen and g
ed the building in a few
those who had entered to meet the Ex
ecutive, but to do this it was necessary
to draw their saber bayonets and use
extreme force.
Foster had reached under the crowd
and by_almost superhuman strength
pulled the intending murderer from un
der the heap. The man was grabbed
by half a dczen guards and seldiers and
by the Secret Service men who were
near the scene at the time. Forcing the
youth—for that is what he is—to the
open, Foster clutched him by the
throat with his left hand, saying:
“You murderer!”
Then he struck the assailant a vicious
blow with his rock-hard fist squarely in
the face.
The blow was so powerful that the
man was sent through the guards and
went sprawling upon the floor. He
had hardly touched the floor when he
was again set upon, this time by’ the
guards and soldiers. He was kicked re-
peatedly until Captain Damer rushed in
and drew back the guards. Foster made
another attempt to get at the assailant,
but he was held back, although he pro-
tested that he had possession of his
mind and that he knew what he was
doing. : ?
The assailant was not given time to
say a word. He was as white as his
illustrious victim, and was shaking from
head to foot. He had not the power to
beg to be saved from the lynchers.
Weak with the excitement, he was un-
able to stand on his feet, and he fell to
the floor.
A half dozen guards. as many soldiers
and several Secret Service men grabbed
him—several at his feet, more at his
head, but none to support his body.
He was rapidly dragged over the floor
up a short flight of stairs and into a
room back of another to one side of
the stage. There he was locked in
with the soldiers, guards and detectives,
most of whom drew their revolvers
ready to withstand any attempt which
might be made by a mob.
This was a dramatic scene. The as-
sassin had been hurled into a far corner
of the room, where he lay in an appar-
ently lifeless heap, his clothes torn, his
face bleeding and his breath coming
short. He shook all over like a mass
of gelatin. His eyes rolled now and
then to the ceiling and his Hlmbs
twitched nervously. Thus he was kept
waiting until steps could be taken ic
removing him to a police station.
President Had No Fear.
Presidently McKinley has never taken
seriously warnings received of designs
upon his life. He has never indicated
the least apprehension and has not de-
sired the protection of a bodyguard
which has been thrown around him. In
Washington he has walked the streets
freely. and his never-failing amiability
for all classes of people has seemed all
the protection needed.

other event, Mr. Kane says they will be
