Reference to It and Prayers Offered in All the City'M Synagogues. At Temple Emanu EI, in Manhattan, this morning the shooting of President McKinley was made a special feature of the service.

Dr. Joseph Silverman offered a special prayer for the recovery of the President and the stabil ity of the nation, in which the congregation joined. There were many signs of emotion. Dr. Silverman, in his sermon, referred to the calamity and inveighed bitterly against anarchists and anarchism and against every form of sedition.

He said: "It is high time that America, the land of the free, should take the initiative and de clare to all anarchists and law breakers that they can find no home in this free country of ours." In all of the east side synagogues this morning prayers were offered for the speedy recovery of the President. In many instances the rabbi mentioned the catastrophe in his address and dwelt on the life ot Mr. McKinley. The Rev. Philip Klein of the Beth Damedrasch Hagodal Synagogue, on Norfolk street, spoke at considerable length on the President's shooting.

In the synagogues in Brooklyn, likewise, prayers were offered for the recovery of the President and reference to the attempted assassination was made in the morning dls ALL CANTON MOURNS OVER PRESIDENT'S PERIL. Sister of Mrs. McKinley Takes Train; Old Pastor Expresses Deep Sorrow and Praises Mr. McKinley. Canton, September 6 Mrs.

M. C. Barber, sister of Mrs. McKinley, has decided to go to Buffalo to render such assistance as is possible to her sister. She will leave here at 8:15 o'clock to morrow morning and reach Buffalo at 3:35 o'clock in the afternoon.

The anxiety for the President here among his old friends and neighbors is scarcely greater than that felt for Mrs. McKinley. It is known that for years he has been her strong support, and, being deprived of that even temporarily, grave fears are entertained of the result. The whole community is bowed down under the grief of the news and business has been practically suspended since the first news. Strong men broke down with grief and with tears trickling down their cheeks discussed the news and awaited late information with their fellow men.

The Rev. Dr. C. E. Manchester, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, of which President McKinley is a trustee, said: "It is awful and indescribable.

I have strong hopes of the President's recovery, as he is a man of such a clean life and good habits. He never intimated to me that he had any fear of such a thing, and I do not believe he knew what personal fear was. He was a Christian in the true sense of tho word, and he is a man who has strong faith in an overruling providence." Joseph Saxton, an uncle of Mrs. McKinley, said: "I was terribly shocked to hear the news. I am in hopes he will recover and I trust In God and believe He will take care of him.

The Major himself was not' fearful of such a thing. He believed he did right and trusted In God that all would go well." BUNKER HILL LODGE GRIEVES AT THE NEWS. Mr. McKinley Is An Odd Fellow and tho Attack Upon Him Is Deeply Felt. Bunker Hill Lodge No.

O. which is the leading organization of Odd Fellows In Brooklyn, at its regular meeting held last night in the lodge rooms at Bushwlck and Jamaica avenues, passed resolutions of grief and indignation over the shooting of President McKinley and a committee of two members was appointed to prepare suitable expressions of the feelings ot the members. Mr.

McKinley is an Odd Fellow of many years' standing and when, at 9 o'clock, a report came to the lodce room that the President had passed away, the lodge immodiately ordered its charter draped in mourning for a period of six months. After the meeting was concluded and the members learned that the report of death was erroneous there was great rejoicing. CABLED PROM MANILA. Deep Rcsret of Governor Tuft and General Chnffee.

(Signed) "CHAFFED." Events of the Past Year That May Be Associated With the Deed at Buifalo. TWO ARRESTS HERE IN 1900.

The Prisoners "Were Italians, Said to Have Plotted McKinley's Death, but "Were Let Go. From the standpoint of a fatalist there might bo some association in the repeated threats and countless rumors of plots in the past year to assassinate President McKinley with the attempt actually made on his life in Buffalo yesterday by the man who declares he is an anarchist. If any faith was placed in these threats or credence placed In the rumors, the culmination of yesterday might have been avoided, hut, as it was, no great significance was given, to any of them. This latest and most (rave development in what a year ago was termed an international anarchist plot seems, however, some strength to the stories circulated at that time that there is a movement on foot to strike at the rulers of the earth. If there really is such a plot in existence the attempted assassination of President McKinley yesterday reveals something of the gigantic, magnitude of its ramifications.

Heretofore, as respecting the President himself, these reports have been of the vaguest and most incomprohensive character, notwithstanding the fact that in August of last year two Italians were arrested here in Brooklyn on information furnished to the 6ecret Service authorities in 'Washington, by the Italian government, that they had designs on President McKinley's life. One of these men was an ex convict and a noted anarchist of his own country, and, from all accounts, a character to be held in check by any government, but the Secret Service heads, after a trivial investigation, released oth he and his companion after hqjdln. them in custody for a few days. The arrest of these two men was the most serious, disclosure of any of the reported on the President's life, but the thread, of rumors of a similar nature stretched back two or three months before. Arrest of Two Italian Anarchists in Brooklyn a Year Ago.

Oh August 17, a year ago. Detective Henry and United States Marshal Bernard secretly arrested two Italians on the Kaiser Wllhelm der Grosse, when that vessel arrived at her pier at the foot of Pacific street, this borough, on instructions received from Chief Wilkie of the Secret Service Bureau, at "Washington. The Secret Service Bureau had just received word from the Italian government that the two men had taken passage on the ship with the avowed design of slaying President McKinley and warning the officials of this government that they ought to be detained. The names of the two men were Natale Moresca and Michele Guida. The former was.

25 years of age and his companion a year iyounger. Moresca was an ex convlct, who had given the Italian government considerable trouble. The Washington officials were warned that ho was a desperate character." i'' Moresca had1 wtfrRed his passage over on thenip as atr 'as'slstant "steward. Gulda boarded tie vessel at" Naples, and he, too, gave his servioes in return for his passage. Though he went aboard the ship later than Moresca the two were intimate on the voyage1 over and whenever possible were Been together.

The Men Were Allowed to Go. Both men were Indignant at their arro3t, Moresca particularly so. He was searched, but nothing incriminating was found on him, but both he and Guida were temporarily detained at Ellis Island. They were kept there lor three' days. Chief Wilkie admitted that he had been furnished with information against the two men and said that he was going to pursue.

a full investigation Into the matter. There was a great deal of mystery about the whole thing and the immigration authorities as well as the Secret Service men in New York exhibited signs of anxiety during all the time that they had the men in custody. Finally, however, Guida, who had relatives in New York, was released, it being claimed that there was not a particle of evidence against, him. Subsequently Chief Wilkie issued a statement to the effect that he could find nothing on which to hold his companion and declaring that the information that ho had received against Moresca had been furnished at the instanoo of a former acquaintance in Italy with whom he had. fallen out.

It was decided, however, to deport him as precaution and this was finally done. Since then Moresca has dropped out of sight. Whether or not Moresca came to this country with the purpose attributed to him as the agent of a band of anarchists is not known now, but in the light of the subsequent events and the attempt on the President's life yesterday there may be some association in the two. Moresca cams to this country at a time that the whole world waB wrought up over the assassination of King Humbert in Italy and when rumors of plots laid against kings and rulers, emperors and the heads of republics were rife. Many Stories of Impending Sanger to the President.

There Is a belief current, too, that the President was one of those selected tor death (it the same time that the anarchists decided on the claying of Humbert. In the year past there seem to have been many presentiments of approaching danger to the President On July 12, 1900, the country was startled by a report that there was a plan afoot to take his life at the time of the opening of his second campaign for the presidency. Though the report proved fallacious, for the time it was extremely disconcerting. It originated in a letter that Governor Odell, who was then the chairman of the Republican State Committee, had written to Secretary Dick of the National Committee. It purported to warn Secretary Dick and Chairman Hanna that there was a plot on foot among certain Spaniards and dissatisfied Cubans to assassinate the President and warning them to keep a close lookout.

OI his participation in the matter Governor Odell at that time said: "I have read the account with reference to an alleged plot to assassinate President McKinley and also as to the, part which I am supposed to have taken in the matter. I have nothing to say on the subject except that I have made an investigation which 1 started with the state committee' detective on the line of what I supposed to be political information and I discovered either a crank or a Baron Munchausen. And on the principle that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure it is probable that any report to Secretary Dick of the National Committee is the cause for the extra care now being taken of the President. I have nothing further to say upon this subject except that I Some Have Already Arrived in the City Where President Is Suffering. ROOT, WILSON, SMITH.

All Call at the Milburn House Other Official Advisers Interviewed on the Way. Buffalo, September 7 It is expected that before nightfall all the members of President McKinley's Cabinet will be here. Several have already arrived. Seoretary, Wilson called at the home of Mr. Milburn to see the President at 8:80.

Half an hour later Secretary Root left a carriage at the corner or Ferry and Delaware streets and walked briskly up to the front door. He was met by Secretary Cortelyou. The Secre tary was at once taken up to the' room where the President lies. Mayor Dlehl also called this morning and inquired about the President's condition. Attorney General Knox arrived at the house at 9:30, and a few minutes later Senator Hanna joined those inside.

Postmaster General Smith and Controller Dawes arrived here early this morning, and went Immediately to the Milburn house. Greenfield, September 7 Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock passed through here this morning on a special train en route to Buffalo. Speaking of the attempted assassination of the President and the whereabouts of the Cabinet' officers. Secretary Hitchcock said: "A telegram from my secretary at Washington received last night informed me that Secretary Root and Postmaster General Smith would start for Buffalo by the first train, and Secretary Wilson is at present at Buffalo. The other Cabinet officers are widely scattered, but all will start for Buffalo at "I cannot yet fully realize that such a crime has been committed, or was possible.

Insane or an anarchist, the person who fired the shots should be given very little consideration. "It seems impossible that any human being should have the heart to commit such a terrible crime. There has been no other President since Abraham Lincoln who has received the love and admiration that the American people have given to William McKinley. His whole life has. been devoted to their welfare and "The crime that has been committed Is barbarous beyond expression.

I rejoice that the bulletins from the President are so favorable. The whole country hopes for his recovery." Buckfleld, September 7 When the news of the attempted assassination of President McKinley reached Secretary of the Navy John D. Long at his. summer home here last evening he was so. overcome that he at once denied himself to everybody except his immediate family and requested that he be not asked to say anything.

Early to day, however, he sent the following message to tho Associated Press: "It Is appalling. Words cannot express the horror, the pity, the wickedness of It. It is an overwhelming sorrow. May God preserve this precious Secretary Long has not yet stated when he can start for Buffalo: Newbury, N. 7 Secretary of State.

John Hay did not leave on the morning train for Buffalo as anticipated he might do. The Secretary drove to the station early In the forenoon, presumbably to make arrangements for his departure. The news of the attempt on the President's life was a decided shock to Mr. Hay. The Secretary has the services of a special tele graph operator, at his disposal and early last evening learned the particulars of the attack and Mr.

McKinley's condition. When asked if he could say anything concerning the fateful news from Buifalo, the Secretary courteously declined to give expression to his feelings at this time. CLAIMS: SHE FORETOLD THE McKINLEY SHOOTING. A Brooklyn Woman Says He Will Recover, iat That He Will Be Shot Again. A Flatbush woman claims to have foretold the murderous assault upon President McKinley in Buffalo two days ago and says that she sent word of her prophecy to the The woman is Mrs.

Paulino Krueger of East Twenty first street and Avenue who a couple of months ago figured as a Christian Science healer In a story pub lished in the Eagle, when little Albert Tabel died, after, as claimed, he had been under her care. Mrs. Krueger claims to be a magnetic and hygenic healer and also' lays claim to the power of second sight. She told several last night and admitted to day to an Eagle reporter that she had foretold the assault on President McKinley two days ago. Mrs.

Krueger talks very broken English and it is difficult to interview her. However, to an Eagle reporter, to day, she wrote out the following in German which reads when translated: "I see by the newspapers that President McKinley was shot. foretold that two days ago and told sev eral people yesterday morning that he would be shot. "He will live. ''But he will be shot again in the heart.

"Roosevelt will also be shot. "I know a good deal more, but I can't talk English." Many people were found this morning by an Eagle reporter, who heard Mrs. Kreugor say last night that she had foretold the President's injuries.

AMERICANS VERY ANXIOUS, Those Who Sail To day for Some Will Have a Long Week of Suspense.

News From Continent. London, September 7 The attempt upon the life ot President McKinley Is the sole topic of conversation in London this morning. In the street the people are saying, "Isn't it awful?" which reference Is quite sufficient to identify the subject that Is uppermost in the minds of all. Bulletins are eagerly awaited and great relief is expressed at the satisfactory progress so far maintained. Owing to the fact that the Stock Market is closed to day, the financial world Is not taking any action.

Members of several leading houses say that they do not look for any panic or serious disturbance in monetary conditions. The only effect anticipated is the acceleration of shipments of gold to America, which, to the extent of several millions, wero due later this year. Passengers booked to sail for Now York on the steamship St. Paul to day gathered at Waterloo Station this morning en route for the steamship, were tremendously eager for further news of the President's condition, many dreading the week of suspense during their passage. The 1 o'clock bulletin was hailed with the greatest relief.

The United States Embassy has received many telegrams and telephone messages from distinguished persons inquiring for news and expressing anxiety and regret at the attempt of the would be assassin. "England prays for McKinley" is printed in great block type across the front page of the Evening Star, and all the journals express the hope of the English people that the "President will recover. The Sun says: "Tho abhorrent crime was committed for mere wantonness." The Evening News says: "That he may bo spared is the prayer of every Englishman throughout the empire," and the paper mentions the curious resemblance in the circumstances surrounding the crime in Buffalo and those of the murder of President Carnot, whoso assasin climbed to his victim's carriage for the ostensible purpose of shaking hands. The Echo eulogizes the personal traits of President McKinley as those on which Englishmen can dwell with unaffected appreciation. Tho Lord Mayor this morning addressed to United States Ambassador Choato the following communication: "The citizens of London have received with profound regret and great indignation intelligence of the dastardly attack upon the life of the distinguished President of the Unitod States and they desire to convey, through your excellency, their sincere sympathy with your country in this melancholy event and their trust that so valuable a lifo as President McKinley's may be spared for the welfare of the American people." Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador to the United States, accompanied by his daughter, was one of the earliest callers at the United States embassy this morning.

He expressed the greatest sympathy and anxiety regarding President McKinley's condition. The other callers at the embassy included Judge Gray of Delaware, Professor Saunders of Harvard and practically all the leading Americana in London. The telegrams of sympathy and inquiry received at the United States embassy from all parts of Great Britain include messages from the mayors of Liverpool, Birmingham and Portsmouth. At Euston station, when the Lucania's train left, there was a scene similar to tho one witnessed at Waterloo station. The passengers hung about the platform, inquiring for the latest information and apparently reluctant to put themselves out of communication with the news about tho President's condition even for a few hours.

All the evening newspapers comment on the anarchist's crime. The greatest sympathy and good will is expressed for the United States. A most striking tribute to President McKinley is paid by the Globe, and it is all the more notable as the paper is not celebrated for its friendliness to America. The Globo says: "No sooner had President McKinley taken up the reins of office than we saw a remarkable change come over the political character of his people. The days of their Impetuous youth were over.

They gained dignity and a sense of responsibility befitting their national manhood, and, to day, the world regards them with respect, which is a far highr er tribute than the wonder and anxiety with which it used to watch them. This newly acquired national sobriety has Implied no loss of vigor. It Is not the dullness of lethargy. It is the quiet, conscious strength of transition from feverish youth to mature manhood. "It has witnessed the United States, for the first time In their history, accepting those imperial obligations for which they were, in their more hot headed days, unfitted.

They have taken the foremost place among the great powers of the world. They have simultaneously experienced commercial prosperity without an equal In history. To no small extent Is this wonderful national advance due to the man who, yesterday, was the object of an annrchist's fury. He has played with signal distinction and entire success tho difficult part so suddenly Imposed on him by the new, imperial destiny of the United States." It Is understood that the American police are communicating with the police of the various European capitals with the view oJT learning whether Leon Czolgosz has had relations with foreign anarchists recently. The Westminster Gazette's leading editorial Is entitled, "An InBensate Crime." It refers to the "great American round whoso sick bed the whole world waits anxiously this morning." The St.

James Gazette says: "The problem ot dealing with such monsters la among the most difficult society has to face to day. Wo are almost inclined to regret the escape of the would bo assassin from lynching." The Evening Standard rogards tho attempt on an elective official as on unparalleled pfeco of anarchist stupidity. The continental newspapers all comment on the crime in the same hympathetic strain. Tho Vienna Neuo Frele Prcsse says: "It Is improbable thnt the murderous assault was prompted by political party Tint red, for the bitterness between the RepubliTin aud Democratic parties has greatly aba led sinco the election." The Neues Wiener Journal of Vienna says: "President McKinley has perhapn fallen a victim to the gigantic trusts which have developed so vastly under his aegis, for these trusts have deprived a number or workmen of their means of subsistence." In the absence of Lord Salisbury and tho Marquis of Lansdowne from London, Schom berg McDonnell, principal private secretary to the prime minister, said a representative of tho Associated Press: "You cannot use terms too strong in expressing our indignation at the outran and sympathy with the President. It Is terrible.

If Mr. McKinley dies, which wo sincerely hope he will not, the whole world will lose a man of greater Integrity and statesmanship than It even at present realizes. This latest attempt may produce an international arrangement by which anarchists may In dealt with according to their deserts and ils canker of civilization bo suppressed, c. rtuinly England would favor such plan. a', and Amorica aro blamed on the Contl for harboring anarchists.

Wo are all deeply rollevod to hear the encouraging reports about tho President's Crank Wanted to See the President in "Baltimore. While visiting in Baltimore on November 24, while on his way to the home of former Postmaster General Gary from the railroad station, the police arrested a man who was in the crowd that followed in President McKinley's train who had made the statement, ito two detectives that he was a crank and wanted to see the President. He was harmless and was aterwardlet go. On November 26 of the same year tt police of Hoboken received a letter written in French from a man warning them that there was a plan being concocted to take the President's life, and giving the name of a man living in Bergen County New Jersey, who was alleged to be implicated in the plot. They could not find the man named in the letter and nothing more came of it.

While in New York on April 22, 1900, to attend the Ecumenical Conference being held in Carnegie Hall, the President narrowly, escaped an accident. He was driving in his carriage with Morris K. Jesup, the resident of the Chamber of Commerce, to the Hotel Manhattan, where he was staying, when a team of horses standing in front of the entrance to the hotel became frightened at the approach of tha President's carriage and made a break to get away. The President's own horses reared and one of them fell. Its companion made an effort to get away, but a policeman standing nearby ran out and grappled with the horses in time to avert an accident.

No wonder people, say the. force is corrupt when such, men as you are on It." The patrolman subsided and spent the rest of his stay at Headquarters trying to explain to others that he didn't mean any harm. He was treated with silent contempt. Hogah refused to give the man's name or number. He said it was bad enough to have to admit that here was such a man on the force.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND SPEAKS. Deeply Shocked, hut Will Give ITo Formal Interview. St. Paul, September 7 The news of. the tragedy enacted at Buffalo caused great excitement in this city and the streets were quickly thronged with people eager for news.

Archbishop John Ireland expressed himself as greatly shocked by the deplorable occurrence, but requested to be excused from further comment at this time. PRESIDENT'S LIFE NEVER TRIED HERE. Detective Fnnston, of McKinley's Body Knanl, Remembers Only One Suspicions Character. Detective Sergeant Funston, who, with Detective Sergeant Foy, has been the President's body guard whenever he has been in this city during the last four years, was at Police Headquarters early this morning. He said he was deeply shocked by the shooting, as no one who was ever near the President could help admiring him for his genial manner.

Ho was asked if the President had ever shown any anxiety for his welfare while on any his trips here. He said that, he did not, but rather ridiculed the idea of danger and accepted the attentions of tho police as a matter of course. Funston said he did not think there had ever been any attempts on the President's life while here, but that any number of people had tried to see him at the hotels who had the appearance of cranks. About a year and a half ago, while crossing the Pennsylvania Ferry to New York, Funston said, the only real attempt, as he thought, to do the President harm took place. The President was in a closed carriage and a tall man, not answering the assassin's description, came to the door.

According to the detective, the man feigned intoxication and attempted to open the door of the carriage. He was moved away, but, when the detective's back was turned, came back again and succeeded in opening the door. The second time he was thrown away and afterward was closely watched, but, as no charge could be made against him, was not arrested. Mr. Funston, in speaking of the shooting, said he thought the detective service at" Buffalo, about the President, must have been very lax.

He said a man carrying a .33 caliber revolver in his hand could not con ooal It from a vigilant police officer. Ho said It" would bulge too muoh to make any appearance of a bandage.

I do not think European statesmen would feel a bit nervous about his direction of affairs." PARIS GOT THE NEWS ONLY THIS MORNING. President T.onliet and AuibnHN.ilor Porter Did Not Know of Shooting Before Retiring. Paris, September 7 Tho Americans in Paris and the French neople learned the news of the attempt on the life of President McKinley when they opened their newspapers at the breakfast table this morning. Hardly a person outside of newspaper circles heard the announcement yesterday evening, so the shock came this morning with full force. Even the United States Ambassador, General Horace Porter, was not aware that, an attempt had been made on the President's life until morning.

He retired early yesterday evening, being fatigued and not feeling well; so he was not disturbed, in the absence ot an official dispatch. A French official dispatch was sent to President Loubet, who is at Ram bouillet, late last night, but he had alreudy retired, and so was not informed of the attack on Mr. McKinley until to day. The news spread through Paris with the rapidity of a whirlwind, and it was discussed to the exclusion of every other topic, not merely by Americans, but by the Parisians. There is a large number of Americans stopping in Paris for a few days, on their way home from other European countries, and every hotel court yard has its group, earnestly discussing the news.

The United States embassy and consulate were besieged by callers seeking information, while in front of the New York Herald's office was an animated gathering awaiting bulletins of tho latest condition ot the President. Expressions of sympathy from Frenchmen are emanating from every side. From the highest to the lowest every one is anxious to express deep regret and abhorrence at the crime, and their condolence is given In a sincere ring of voice, and not as a mere formality. The President's n.tmc and character arc quito familiar to the i'arlsians. He ha always been sympathetic with tiytm, and even the working classes knew of President McKinley.

His honorable career and democratic character have frequently been dwelt upon by the press and have mado him popular here. A majority of the newspapers published portraits this morning of Mr. and Mrs. McKinley and along the boulevards it was a subject of remark that numbers of Frenchmen were eagerly scanning the accounts of the attempted assassination and exchanging views regarding the hideous nature of the crime. The French official world was much affected by the news.

In view of tho Czar's coming visit to, France there Is anxiety lest a similar attempt be made on the life of the Russian Emperor while he is the guest of France. Great precautions have already been determined upon, but the stringency of the measures will now, undoubtedly, be increased tenfold. The foreign minister, M.
