The little unpretentious Emergency Hospl ta! at the exposition grounds, ivhere President MeKinley was so successfully operated upon, has become a mecca for sightseers. Each caller asks: "Won't you kindly show us about? We ure anxious to see the cot iu which the I President lay." I The white corridors, anterooms and wards were t.aronged with strangers from early yesterday morning until almost time for the illumination to be cut off.

Each person asked about the present condition of the President; i how he was handled, what he said while there and other similar questions. Some even asked many questions pertaining to the early boy hood of Mr. JIcKicley. i An old woman, who said she was from Canton, was among the many to pay a visit there. She said she was on her way to Buf I talo when the attempt upon the President's life was flashed over the wires.

The Milburn residence, where the President has been since he was removed from the Exposition Hospital, has now been given over entirely to the requirements of the patient and those attending him, and Mr. Milburn, with his family, has taken quarters elsewhere. When the shooting occurred, Mr.

Mil burn placed every facility of his house at the service of the President, and the regular occupants of the house restricted their quarters to accommodate the sudden demands made upon it. But the growing requirements of the case not In its seHousness, but In the extent of at tendance, the essentials of quiet, and the wish to give the President and his wife, the amplest comforts during such an ordealhave led to the house being placed entirely at the disposal of the President and those about him. Judge Day of Canton, former Secre tary of State in the MeKinley Cabinet, and recognized as one of the President's closest confidants, was at the Milburn bouse about noon.

(Special to the Eagle.) Washington, September 10 Solicitor General Richards, who ia aotlng Attorney General In the absence of Mr. Knox, said today that he did not feel competent at this time to pass on the question of who should decide when the Vice President should relieve the President of the duties of chief executive in case the latter's wounds were to become so serious as to incapacitate him from acting In that capacity. This contingency Is not expected to rise, however, but there has been a great amount ot discussion as to the course that would be followed In the event of such a sad development. Mr. Richards has Just returned from his vacation and has not had an opportunity to give serious attention to this subject.

In the absence of precedents and because of the likelihood that he may be called on to give an official opinion on the matter, he said that he would not attempt to answer off hand. "I observe," he in discussing the question with the Eagle correspondent, "that there is a great variety of opinion as to who should decide that the President was unable to perform the duties of chief magistrate should such a calamity occur. The constitution proviuea mi i be incapaclted the Vice President should re lleve him of the amies oi rrcwucui, nut, stiaugeiy enough, nothing Is said as to the way this provision shall be carried out. No one is mentioned as the proper authority to pass on the question of the capacity of the President to continue to act. do far as I know there is no law covering this point, and I have heard of no precedent In history thni nnM throw any lleht on the question.

Erie, September 10 Grief over the shooting of President MeKinley and subsequent worry over his condition and prospects of recovery were the causes which led Orlando D. Van Comp, one of Erie's most prominent men, to kill himself last night. He blew off his head with a shotgun. He was interested in the Chicago Opera House. KINO EDWARD REJOICES.

Expresses Satisfaction at Favorable Accounts' of President's Health. Washington. September 10 A daily Inquiry and an expression of satisfaction at the President's progress toward recovery comes to the State Department from King Edward. This morning Ambassador Choate cabled that he had received from Condon the following cablegram from the King: "I rejoice to hear favorable accounts of the President's health. God grant that his life may be preserved," Acting Secretary Adee in response to this message cabled to Mr.

AUCTION ROOM LIVELY AGAIN. Shevlin Is in Town and He Has a Talk With Coler and Shea. There was an old time crowd at the Will oughby street headquarters of local Democracy to day. The summer dullness was shaken off for good and all. James Shevlin joined the other leaders there this morning.

Mr. Shevlin returned from Saratoga last evening where he has been spending the summer with his family. He is in robust health and ready to put a pretty powerful shoulder to the political wheel. Soon after his return to town Controller Coler and Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea turned up at the auction rooms.

There, was hand shaking all around, but not much political talk. Mr. Shevlin was asked this morning, by an Eagle reporter, whether anything had been determined about a candidate for Mayor or other city officers. "None that is serious," he replied. "What about Controller Coler?" "Why, the Controller is well, I guess.

I saw him last night. We had a pleasant. talk." "Any politics In It?" "No. not at all." Mr. Shevlin eald also that there was no tallr of other nominations.

"It used to be the case that we began witn the foundation and built ud. Now it seems to be In order to begin at the top and build down," he remarked. Speaking of the anti Tammany campaign, Mr. Shevlin said: "It strikes me that my friends, the reformers, have failed. They have speht to unearth corruption in the city administration, but have only found that a certain amount of vice exists, which always has existed and always will.

It Is true that individual policemen can be bribed and Individual clerks in the departments, but is the administration to be held responsible for that? "The only legitimate argument is on the tax rate, and that is as low as it ever was when circumstances are taken into account. I do not believe the people are interested in the work of some of those people who are using such unusual means to get evidence of corruption and have found so little. CHILDREN'S Na'rROW ESCAPE. Intelligence of the Truck Horses Undoubtedly Saved Their Lives Were Quite Uninjured. A remarkable escape from what looked like certain death on the part of two email children was witnessed this morning by a number of spectators at Bedford avenue and North Ninth street.

The two children narrowly escaped being crushed to death by a heavy truck drawn by a team of horses. Their escape from injury was due entirely to the intelligence of the animals attached to the vehicle. The children were Annie and Frank Schaof fer, aged 4 and 6 years, respectively. The father of the children is John Schaeffer, a carpenter, living at 16G North Ninth street. The children had been sent by their father to a nearby shoemaker's.

They started! to cross Bedford avenue at North Ninth street when Patrick McCormick, who lives in the neighborhood, came along driving the team of horses attached to a heavy truck. McCormick failed to notice the children, who crossed directly ln front of him. They were both thrown to the ground and the spectators supposed that both would be crushed either by the hoofs of the animals or the wheels of the truck. Many turned their headB away, but those who continued looking witnessed a sight which they will not soon forget. The horses to all appearances realized what had happened and stepped carefully over the prostrate forms of the children, coming almost to a halt.

The children were too badly frightened to move and remained quiet while the truck passed over them, the wheels just grazing their bodies. The children were apparently senseless when Policemen O'Neill and Robinson carried both to a nearby drug store. Dr. Delaney of the Eastern District Hospital was unable to find any evidence of Injuries outside of a few slight scratches. He declared they were not In need ot medical treatment and after being supplied with a stick of candy both were sent homo.

In the meantime, McCormick was in a frantic condition until he learned that the children had escaped. THAI IT WRECK; FIVE KILLED. Woodstock, September 10 Two persons were instantly killed, two burned to death and one mortally injured ln a railroad wreck near here to day. THOUGHT TO BE CRAZY.

London, September 1CH A special dlspatok from Paris says: "At Montceau les Mines (a town In Saone et Loire, famous for its coal mines and quarries) some hundreds of reservists who were returning in uniform to day from ths army maneuvers, entered the town singing the "Internationale" and other revolutionary songs.

A force of gendarmes attempted to disperse the reservists, but the latter fixed bayonets and charged on the police, with cheers for anarchy and a social revolution. The gendarmes were scattered. The soldiers then held a mass meeting and passed a resolution in favor of a revolution. ALLEGED CLUBBER ON TRIAL. Policeman Lambert of the Grand Avenue Station Before.

Mr. York To day. Deputy, Commissioner York at the police) trials to day had several officers before him accused of using their clubs freely upon citizens and without just provocation. The first case of this character to be heard was that of Patrolman Henry P. Lambert of the Grand avenue station, now referred to in some quarters as the "clubbers' precinct.

Lambert was accused of assaulting George R. Berry, a motorman In the employ of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Berry said that on the morning of August 2S he was dining In a restaurant at Fulton street and Nostrand avenue when attacked by a night watchman named J. J. Rogers, and when the two were ejected from the place Lambert hit him with his fist and his club.

As the result of the assault Berry said he was incapacitated for work for two days. Lambert then came up, he said, and borrowed Rogers' club and struck him several times over the head and shoulders and also clubbed several spectators, Berry said. Rogers, it will be recalled, was the principal witness for Patrolman Nick Callan when he was tried on a charge of clubbing Captain St. P. O'Rourke, the Spanish war veteran.

James P. Cullen of 31 Broadway was the) principal witness for Berry. D. O. Gillespie also testified corroborating Mr.

Cullen. Mr. York gave orders that Rogers should be before him tomorrow morning. Lambert denied the assault, and said that, at his hand was done up in plaster of paris at the time, it wa impossible for him to have clubbed or rough ly handled anyDoay. MORE TRACKS AT JAMAICA.

Xawyer Kelly in Court in the Interests of Improvements on the Long Island Boad. Lawyer William J. Kelly, attorney for tho Long Island Railroad Company, applied to Justice D. Cady Herrlck in Supreme Court, special term, to day on the return of an order to show cause directed to several property owners in Jamaica why condemnation proceedings should not be taken to acquire, in behalf of the Long Island Railroad Company certain lands on each side ot the track of the road, east of the Jamaica railroad station, so that embankments may be put up for the preservation of the tracks and the land adjacent. The existing tracks run through a cut.

and there are highway bridges over the cuts. If the project goes through the bridges will be made longer and the highways will be graded down, so that the cut will not be'so deep as it is now. There was no argument on the application and Mr. Kelly handed up the papers. Some the property owners named as defendants were Michael M.

Murphy, John N. Crane, William B. Case and the heirs of Daniel Smith and Henry C. Ham. The land proposed to be taken is from 49 to 58 feet in width, and the distance from the station that the land is to be taken is between four and flv Hocks.

It is the purpose of the company to lay two extra tracks through this cut, the great increase of traffic and congestion of business calling for four tracks between the Jamaica station and Rockaway Junction a little over a mile. The managers say that the work is undertaken in the interests of safety and convenience. All of the necessary property cjLcept the parcels above named has been acquired by purchase. STRIKERS ARE LOCKED OUT. Robins Company Closed Its Against Them Today.

Gate All the boilermakers, machinists, jolnera and blacksmiths affiliated with the International Union and the Metal Trades' Conference, who struck at the yard of the John N. Robins Company and refused to go to work this morning, were locked out. The blacksmiths, who Joined the strike on Saturday but returned to work yesterday, refused to work this morning. They explained that they had been ordered out by their delegate. But for their action, the machinists and joiners would probably have gone work.

As soon as was definitely known the gates were closed and the firm decided that those ne: could never work at the yard again. Arrangements weTe at once made to secure' Knights of Labor men to fill the places cf the strikers. Twenty two new boilermakers were engaged this morning and a lot ot machinists were expected at the yard by noon. It Is hbpedto secure enough men to hold the International liner New York at the yard. A large amount of material for her has arrived and is being taken to the different shops.

Some of the men who were called out at inndBfl tho meeting nf the Metal Trades' Con Terence ln St. Marks place. Manhattan, last niirht Thv nll to dnv thiv would not be allowed to make any statement before that noay. Ar far or can be learned the agreement, or contract, which has caused all the trouble, has 'not been presented so far to any other shipbuilding or manufacturing concern. The general feeling is against the strikers, whose action is regarded as being wholly uncalled for and arbitrary ln the last degree.

BY RELEASING Also Advertises for Offers to Sell 820,000,000 Bonds to Government. REVENUE DEPOSITS LARGER. The Regularly Chosen, Banks Will Get Receipts Up to the Par Value of Their Securities. Washington, September 10 Secretary of the Treasury Gage to day sent the following telegram to F. D.

Tappan, chairman of the Clearing House Association, New York city: "Recognizing the unfavorable influence upon general business affairs of a continued absorption into the public treasury of revenue beyond expenditure. I have directed that incoming internal revenue receipts be placed with national bank depositaries until a balance with each is reached equal to the par value of the bonds held as security from such depositaries. This will divert about five millions from the treasury vaults. "The secretary will to day invite proposals for the sale to the government of twenty millions of United States bonds other than the new twos. It is believed that these steps will obviate the other possible embarrassments which are pointed out in your telegram of yesterday." The following announcement was made at the Treasury Department "lhe Secretary ot the the Treasury hereby that ho will slllri onncirtor KOvernment on H.lQ per cent, bauds, loan of 1DUS 1S18; 4 per cent, bonds funded loan of 1907; 4 per cent, bonds loan of 1925 and 5 per cent, bonds loan of 1M4, to an amount not exceeding twenty millions of dollars.

Proposals should be submitted to the secretary by letter or telegraph not later than Thursday the 12th inst. Any bonds accepted to be promptly delivered at the United States Sub Treasury in New York or to the Treasury Department at Washington. "The right to reject any or all proposals is expressly reserved. J. GAGE, Secretary." It is fully understood in Wall street that the action of Secretary Gage in releasing internal revenue receipts, and advertising for the sale to the government of $20,000,000 government bonds, has no connection with the tragedy at Buffalo.

At this season of the year immense demands for currency come to the New York banks from the West and Northwest. This money is absolutely needed to move crops. It Is believed that, even if there had been ao attempted assassination of the President, a similar course would have been followed by the Treasury Department. It Is to be noted that although deposits of internal revenue receipts are permitted to run up to the par value of the securities deposited hy the banks, there is still a large margin for the protection of the government, because United States bonds are all selling above par. The necessity for such action as has been taken has been apparent for the last two weeks.

The surplus reserve of the Clearing House Bank In New York has been running altogether too low for the convenience of the business public. It is therefore eald that toe action of the Secretary is merely "good banking" and has no reference to any fear of a disturbance of the market because of the shooting of President McKInley. It does not differ from what has been done in other years, and what must be done occasionally, so long as the government's collections are so Immensely In excess of its expenditures. NEWS ABOUT CARNEGIE. He May Give Brooklyn a Central Library Building, Under Certain Conditions.

News comes from a reliable source that Andrew Carnegie Is disposed to provide the funds for the erection ot a central library building for Brooklyn under certain condi tions. Just what these conditions are has not at this time been made known, but it can be stated on good authority that, if the consolidation of the three bis libraries in this borough is effected Mr. Carnegie will build the central building. This fact alone, it would seem, would spur on those who have been advocating the merg ing of the Brooklyn Public Library, the Brooklyn Library and the library of the Long Island Historical Society, and some definite decision in the matter reached. Mr.

Carne gie has during the past summer been kept pretty well informed on library matters in this city, and especially has the existing con dltlon of affairs in this borough been plainly placed before him. The need of a great cen tral building has also been pictured to Mr. Carnegie. So strongly has the need of Brooklyn for such a building as is proposed been put to Mr. Carnegie that it is said he has been almost won over by the advocates of the merger of all the public libraries in this borough.

Librnry matters will form one of the main topics for conversation here in Brooklyn this fall and winter. Many are deep ly Interested In library affairs and are loud in their advocacy of a merger of the three big libraries mentioned, believing that such a step will prove eminently successful viewed from every standpoint. Dr. John S. Billings, librarian of the New York Public Library, who has been In con sultation with Mr.

Carnegie at his ca3tle in Scotland, is still there. He has sent a let ter to Librarian Frank P. Hill of the Brook Public Library in which he says that it Is his expectation to sail for home next Sat urday, Sept. 14. Soon after his arrival here there will be a meeting of the officials the Brooklyn Public Library, when matters pertaining to library affairs in this borough will come up for discussion.

The affairs of Brooklyn, viewed from a librarian's stand point, will be gone into thoroughly and deeply, Word has also been received from Dr Billings to the effect that the Brooklyn con tract, drawn up by the committee of the directors of that institution, acting in co operation with Controller Coler and the rep resentative of Corporation Counsel Whale in Brooklyn, has been approved. The Brook lyn Public Library committee has now prac tlcally the power to build in whatever loca tions they may desire library buildings 1 this borough. A BIG MORTGAGE FILED. Plant of the National Enameling and Stamping Company in Several States Mortgaged. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica.

L. September 10 A mort gage of $2,500,000 on the entire plant of the National Enamelinsr and Stamnlng Comnanv 'known as the tinware trust, was filed to dav jn the Queens County Clerk's office, The mortgage is given to the St Louis Trust Company as trustee as security for an issue of 2,500 $1,000 5 per cent, gold bonds, prin c.pai payable in lots of each annually, first payment to be made in 1902 and the last in 1911. The mortgage covers the two big tin fac torics of the Haberman Manufacturing Co. in the Town of at tne junction of Mr.si.et havenuc and Newtown Creek and hS other ln 991 bounded by Franklin street and the tracks of the Brook and Montault Railroad division of the i LonK Island. It also covers the plant of the American Suur.nlnc: Company in Brooklyn at North Third and Berry streets; tho Keen and Hagerty and Matthias Ingrain plants at Baltimore, and the St.

Louis Stamping Com pany plants at Madison, iii uraniw and St. Louis, Mo. T.t v. nnrnev nf New York, the eminent surgeon who was called in as con suiting physician was given a dinner at the Pan American Exposition grounds by his local associates of the President's staff of I physicians. That was a joyous occasion goes without saying, because each and all the participants in the informal affair felt that they wort' r.oi only honoring their famous confrere from the metropolis, but also "were celebrating another notable achievement in God given profession.

One Oi physicians of the President said to me to day when I informed him that the Secretary, of the President; George B. Cortelyou. was a Brooklyn man: "You may then well be proud of him. is a man of brains, and what he knows he has at his flr.ger tips. If Cortelyou nothing else during his lifetime than what he has accomplished during the past few days he must nevertheless always be rated as a great man." The correspondent of the Eagle happened to see.

a. dispatch received at the Milburn house from one of the great Republican leaders cf the West. It read about as follows: "I think that the almost miraculous re covery of the President is due as much as anything else to the efficient and excellent i work of George B. Cortelyou." The praise accorded to this modest Brooklyn man Is well deserved. When President MeKinley was borne into the operating room at the Emergency Hospital oh the exposition grounds, a dozen physicians who happened to be present when the shooting took place, rushed forward and offered their services.

Cortelyou, who had taken charge of everything, looked them over and' said: "Gentlemen, you may all be. capable men, but I do not 'you. I have dispatched a messenger tor Mr. When he arrives I will decide what course must.be taken." Cortelyou Ordered Operation. When Sir.

Milburn reached the spot a few minutes afterward; Cortelyou asked him who. In h'is judgment" among those present, was best able to act in the emergency. Mr. Mil burn designated Dr. Mann, who at once made an examination of the President's wounds and recommended an immediate operation.

"Shall I go ahead?" he said, turning to "Begin at once." said the Secretary, quietly. but firmly, and the Buffalo surgeon then per an operation that is destined to be come world famous. It was Cortelyou who Bent tor the ambulance; it was he who or wred that the President should be taken to the Milburn residence, remembering, as he how successful Mrs. McKInley had been treated at the quiet home of Mr. Scott In San Francisco.

It was Cortelyou, also, who remembered Mrs; MeKinley, and saw to it that she should not Be told about the attack upon the Presi flont itnttl nftr the pnmnlptinti nf the nnpr atlon, when he notified Dr. Rixey by telephone to break the news to the first lady of the land. This was done in a gentle, skillful manner, and when the ambulance with the President arrived at the house on Delaware avenue, Mrs. MeKinley was prepared. Secretary Cortelyou decided that it would be better for the suffering President and for his gentle wife that they should see each other at the earliest possible opportunity, and he arranged the first interview between them, an Interview that is now historical, demonstrating as it did a fragile woman's self control and self obliteration.

Another of the President's physicians who has watched with amazement this young Brooklynlte's matchless management of. affairs during the past few days, said this morning: "Cortelyou, how ls.it that you seem to know so much about medicine and have been able to divine almost by Intuition what ought to be done in a case of this sort?" "Eighteen years ago," replied Cortelyou, with a smile, "I made stenographic reports of a number oi famous clinics at the New York Hospital. I then noted what was done in emergency cases and how absolutely essential It was for the patient to be operated on almost Immediately after being wounded. Milburn Proud of Showing of Buffalo People. "Mr.

Milburn, in whose house the President Is confined, is a proud and happy man to day. He is particularly proud of the splendid show inge that Buffalo and her citizens have made during these trying days. In talking with me this morning he said that he had been especially touched by the consideration shown by the people of Buffalo In respecting the wishes ot the President's physicians that things about his house be kept as quiet as possible. "Hundreds of our citizens," he eald, "would have liked to have passed by this building and gaze on the windows of the room where the President is confined, but they have refrained from doing this. The place has been quiet as it Is of a Sunday and the police and soldiers have had no difficulty at all In keeping the streets about my houso clear from pedestrians and vehicles." Praise for Roosevelt Prom MeKinley Men.

Prominent McKInley men are speaking in high terms of. Vice President Roosevelt. They think ho did a Ttindly act in coming to Buffalo and that in adopting this course he did the natural thing in fact, acted just as he would have done had' any dear personal friend of his been in the sain condition as the President. They point to rtie fact of his keeping in retirement while here as indicating his full appreciation of the delicacy of his position. Secretary Cortelyou Is one of those who spok to day most kindly of the Vice President.

course, thero will be carping critics who will say unkind things about Mr. Roosevelt rushing here at this time. But it can be stated that the real men of affairs will not Join in this criticism. One of the clever moves made by Secretary Cortelyou during these trying days has been his' arrangement of tho official bulletins. Shortly after President MeKinley was brought to the Milburn house he requested the doc tr.

tv, than those in the bulletins which he (Cor telyou) himself signed He also made punlic announcement of the fM that the docuirs would concenl nothinc. but that their Lmlli tins wouM tell the exact conultion oi ine 1 i 1. 1111s nc iieiieveo would (rive 'he public cuhfidenco in the fflotal bulletins and allay financial disturbance. It has had Jusl this effect. Iu this connection it may be said that ever since tho shooting nf i the i a as to of of to be to a a i 1 i I been giving a great deal oi stuuy uuaus last, two or three days to the legal pnase tho ease so that when Congress meets he woul(J be lu Unov; exactly how far legislation against anarchy and anarchists jnighi go under the Constitution.

You never hear an Ignorant man conspiring tor anarchis tical purposes, it is tne uan who under our constitution, knows enough enable him to vote, that makes all the trouble.

Gladstone once saw: iu dangerous man in the world is an immoral educated "If the national government was given the power to sav who should he entitled to the right to vote, we would very easily keep the anarchist's out of the country. This could accomplished by compelling any candidate for the franchise to swear that he is not a member of any anarchistic or nihilistic association, and that he believed in the Constitution of the United States and would support the government. It after taking this oath it should be found that the man had joined any such organization or violated his oath, he could not only be deported but tried for perjury. This would be a vast improvement over our present laws, where, in states like Indiana, I believe, every man has a right vote after residing six months in the Power of Congress. Congressman Grosvenor and Senator Thurston both concurred in the opinion that under the Constitution Congress had the power to do two things: first to pass a law making any murderous atiack upon the Pres ident or the hign omciais oi me capital crime.

Second, to pass a law deporting aii unnaturalized citizens. They both expressed the opinion that it was fortunate for the country that Congress was not in session at this time. For, they say, if It were our legislators might act under the Impulse of anger and pass undesirable, law. When CongresB meets in December they said the storm of righteous indignation now sweeping over the country will be abated and then men will be cooler and these great questions can be taken up calmly and with deliberation. Mr.

Grosvenor, in speaking of our present immizration laws, said they were constantly and easily invaded and that unless great rare was taken nihilists and others of their Ilk would get into tne country Dy way ui Mexico and the other border territories just as the Chinese do to day. Senator Thurston, in referring to the peculiarity of some of our laws, cited the fact that a man who attacks an officer of the internal revenue service can be prosecuted In a federal court, but a man who assaulted the President of the United States, unless a conspiracy was shown, would have to be tried by the courts of the state wnerein tne crime was committed. Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, when I ouoted to him Representative Gros venor's remarks on the constitution, said: "I do not agree with the Congressman in his criticism of the constitution and I do not advocate any changes In the well tried and time honored instrument. Our constitution is very flexible and more things can be done under it than many people think. however, strongly favor the passage by Congress of special laws making a crime like that committed here in Buffalo last Friday a capital offense.

Certainly the American people have right to protect their chief ruler. This crime canot be classed under the head of treason, because the constitution specifically states what treason is." Sylvester's Recommendations Indorsed. Referring to the recommendations made by Major Sylvester of Washington, president of the National Association of the Chiefs of Police of the United States and Canada, that a closer relation with the police of foreign countries in dealing with anarchists be made, Assistant Superintendent Cusack of the Buf falo Police Department said to day: "I quite agree with Major Sylvester that a convention of all the police chiefs In the world ought to be held to take action against the anarchists. The anarchists have Increased in number greatly during the last ten years. Their number appears to be multiplying instead of diminishing.

As the years pass they are growing stronger and bolder. They should be treated in a different manner than the way in which tbey arc dealt with now. "When the police hear of anarchist meetings they immediately take steps to prevent the gathering. Few arrests are ever made. This ought not to be.

They Bhould be given a dose of their own medicine. What the police should do Is to visit the meetings of the reds and use their clubs on the heads of the members of the anarchists. After the clubs were yielded effectively the anarchists should be placed under arrest. I think the police are too lenient with the anarchists." The festive fakir is alive to the possibilities that the tragic shooting of the President, gives.

Judge Day felt so reassured as to the President's condition that he determined to leave this afternoon for Canton. The ray machine which is being held in readiness at the Milburn house in case the physicians should decide that there was a necessity for locating the bullet, was tested again to day and was found to be In perfect condition. Physicians Deluged With Suggestions of Remedies and Treatment.

The physicians in attendance upon the President are being fairly deluged with letters and telegrams froin people all over the country suggesting remedies and treatment. There is the usual proportions of letters from cranks, but many of them are from well disposed, simple minded persons who evidently have the most implicit faith in the treatment they advise. Some of the letters are accompanied by potent lotions, herbs of every character and one writer inclosed a complete chart fpr treatment, accompanfefl by philosophical and legal analysis to prove that the recovery of the President will save the life of the wretch who assailed him. Informal Discussion of Public Affairs by the Cabinet. The members of the Cabinet came from the house about 1 o'clock and there was an Interesting grouping of men on the lawn, as Senators Hanna and Fairbanks and Representative Grosvenor returned and joined the Cabinet officials.

While the Cabinet officers were inside there had been nothing in the nature of a Cabinet meeting, but, quite naturally, finding themselves together, there was considerable informal discussion of public busi es. This did not, however, lead to any con certed or definite action, as the talks were more of a general character. It was pointed out later by one of the Cabinet officers that as this affair had happened' during the summer season when many officials were on vacation and important questions were in a state of suspension there was in reality no oc casion at this time for the exercise of any executive functions by the President. As to the condition of the President all of the Cabinet members were Fn the happiest frame of mind. They accepted the bulletins as an assurance that the President would live.

Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith expressed this view with the statement: "The President is now convalescing and the reports from the doctors warrant the statement that the scales have turned and that the President will live." The other members of the Cabinet ex pressed similar views and their faces as well as their words showed great relief the good news had brought to the members of the President's household. There is no present purpose on the part of any of them to leave Buffalo, not that thoy feel their presence is essential, but that there is no present call for them elsewhere, although Mr. Smith may leave to morrow for a day or two. They are remaining here as individuals and friends of the President, with whom they have been so Intimately associated during the past four years. C.

He expressed 1,15. pleasure at the assurance and said tnat the people of Great Britain would receive the news with rejoicing.

MeKinley to Sit Up. The President asked for the papers again this morning and also asked when lie would be allowed to sit up. With the except ion of the physicians pors that needed the signature ot tne iresi dent were aiiowea to vic President Arthur did nothing until sworn in as President, on the death of Mr. Garfield. It has been suggested that the Secretary of State is the official whose duty it would be to determine when the President was Incapacitated to perform his public duties.

Others have said that the Cabinet should settle this matter; that the men composing that body are the nearest representatives of the chief executive and that they should be the ones to say when he should be relieved. A few seem to think that the Vice President should be the Judge of the President's fitness to continue In the discharge of the duties of that office. As I said before. I would not like to give an expression of opinion on this matter at present, for it is possible that this department may be called on at some time or other to render, an official opinion on this very point. It Is a matter of great and Vital Importance and demands serious consideration." It is the general opinion at the Department of Justice that Congress should clear up all doubt on this question by passing a law defining the exact method to be followed in arranging for the discharge o'f the duties of the President in the event of the disability of that official.

Under the circumstances it is quite likely that among other legislation that will follow the attempt on the life of the President will be a law to cover this point. ALDERMEN TAKE ACTION IN McKINLEY SHOOTING. Resolution Adopted at To day'n Meet lnB McCall Snyn It Couldn't Occur Here. Upon the assembling ot the Board of Aldermen this afternoon the first thing done was to adopt resolutions of sympathy and hope for the President and Mrs. McKInley.

Aid. McCall, moving the resolutions, com mented on the fact that for the third time in fifty years the life of a President had been assailed. He declared his belief that anar chists should be expelled from the United States. He eulogized the president as one of the greatest of all presidents and declared It strange that the attack should have been so easily made. He seized, the opportunity to eulogize the New York police force, saying that such a thing could not have Happened in tnis city.

The alderman introduced this thought by say Inn. he did not Intend to cast any slurs upon the militia who were supposed to guard the President or upon the fair oraclals, Dut that the New York police, although they had been slurred, would have been too vigilant to permit the execution of the crlme; Alderman Mdnnes on the part of the Republicans seconded the resolutions, declaring all the people of the United States were agreed that there Is no room in this country for anarchists. A general resolution, permitting political organizations to parade, hold meetings and erect transparensles during the coming campaign, was adopted without discussion.
