n ?^?TiZOLGOS? FOUND GOILTH Assassin Heard His Fate Decidec Without a Sign or Tremor. JURY OUT THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES Remarkable Speed of the Anarchist'! Trial Tor the Murder of President >To Kinley?N'o Evidence For the Defence ?Alienists Said the Assassin Wa? Sam ?Jury Were Unanimous. Buffalo, N. Y. ? Leon F. Czolgoszalias Frederick Nieman, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in Part III. of the Supreme Court in having on the Gth day of September shot William McKinley, the injuries inflicted by such gunshot wounds afterward resulting in death. With closed eyes and a face dripping with nervous perspiration, Czolgosz heard the jury return a verdict of murder in the first degree. The jury had been out thirty-four minutes, and though there was not a note of hesi %UVM0~ tancy in their determination that their verdict might be arrived at in most formal fashion they took four ballots. "Is the defendant sane or insane?" was the subject of the first ballot, and the foreman, Henry W. Wendt, counted twelve positive votes?"Sane." "Is he guilty or not guilty?" asked the second ballot, and the twelve men voted "Guilty." "Is it murder in the second degree?" was the third question. Each man promptly voted "No." Is he guilty in the first degree?" Twelve prompt affirmative rotes. The crowded court room, which was certain of the verdict all the time, received it without demonstration. Czolgosz, lolling back in his chair, his ( eyelids hiding the fear in his eyes, his left hand twitching nervously and perspiration trickling flown his face, heard it and did not stir. The trial came to an end with the people's evidence. Former Justice Lewis, as counsel for the defence, announced that he had no-witnesses, and would make what defense he could offer in his remarks to the jury. No effort was made to prove insanity. The District Attorney had his alienists in court, but the defence did not introduce the question or insanity ana there was no need for them. All who had examined the assassin said most emphatically that he was sane. The wheels of justice moved swiftly. The trial of the asassin consumed eight hours and twenty-six minutes and covered a period of only two days. Practically all of this time was occupied by the prosecution in presenting a case so clear, so conclusive that even had the prisoner entered the plea of insanity it is doubtful if the jury would have returned a verdict different from the one handed down. The crowd gathered in City Hall was the largest which has *een him since his arraignment. A large number of women witnessed the last day's * proceedings. At 2.44 p. m. District Attorney Penney abruptly announced that the case of the prosecution was ended. Judge I<ewis arose slowly and, addressing the Court, said that he and his colleague had no witnesses to call for the defence. He asked the Court that he be allowed to address the jury at once. The Court consented and the venerable jurist began an address that will long be remembered by those who heard It. At 3.10 District Attorney Penney began summing up. He spoke in a clear, well modulated voice, and every word could be heard in every part of the room. He briefly reviewed the crime and the evidence, and demanded the full penalty of the law. Justice White began his charge to the jury at 3.29. He arose from his seat and stepped to the side of the bench nearest the jury box. His charge was brief and to the point, and the jury promptly retired. It was 4.25 when the crier rapped for order and the jury filed into the room. The clerk read their names, each juror resnondinsr "Present" as his name was called. No time was wasted. The jurors did not sit down. Addressing them, Justice White said: "Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?" "We have," responded the foreman, Mr. Wendt. "What is your verdict?" "That the defendant is guilty of murder in the first degree." There was a moment ?f silence, and then a murmur arose from the lips of the crowd. It ended there. There was no handclapping, no cheers. Justice White's voice could be clearly heard in every part of the room when he thanked the jurors for their work. Court was at once adjourned. Ccoigosz was immediately handcuffed to his guards and hurried from the court room downstairs to the basement and through the tunnel under Delaware avenue to the jail.

District Attorney Penney said that he did not send for the prisoner's family, and that he knew of no reason why they should come except to see the assassin. The police officials discredit the story ,that they came to Buffalo to make the murderer reveal an alleged plot to kill the President, as they hold to the theory that the prisoner did the deed, without the aid of accomplices.

INSANE ASYLUM BURNED i Institution at Norfolk, Neb., Destroyed and Two Tr.mates Killed. fl With nifflrnlfT-Uin] Kesiated the Efforts Had* to S#v? Them?Daring 'Work of Attendants. ^ Lincoln, Nob.?The Norfolk Asylum r for Irisane, the second largest in the State, was destroyed by fire. There were 312 patients, male and female, in the institution, and some forty attendants and workmen. During, the ex? citement eight patients got away. These were all found. Only one man ?] perished in the fire. He was Victor ? Casper from Brown County. He ran ?l back twice into the building and the .. last time threw himself Into the ^ flames. One other, a patient named 3 Jepherson, from Knox County, was P fatally burned. Several others were a slightly burned. Many of the patients , resisted and had to be taken out by force, tn some cases the rescuers had " to batter down stone casings ani wrench out Iron bars. 0 Prompt and daring work of the at- y tendants, whj} ran up burning stairways and climbed shaky ladders to ? bring down terrified and sometimes n unwilling patients, saved at least two g score lives. The flames were so close that in a number of instances both rescuer and rescued were burned. y The fire started from defective wir- q Ing in a tunnel which contained th6 electric wire and heating pipes. This ^ tunnel ran underneath one wing at the a extreme end of the rectangle of build- w ings. When discovered by the night b watchman the fire had attained a headway and was irresistible. In fif- p teen minutes the water supply was exhausted, and the whole row of brick * and stone buildings was at the mercy "J of the flames. y The officers kept the patients in the a distant wings under lock and key, ^ hoping it might not be necessary to Q turn them loose. Those released were y quickly huddled in groups, but the ^ roaiing flames in the blackness of the w night acted like an irritant on tho nerves of maniacs, and they filled the air with shouts. The asylum is three miles from the p town of Norfolk, and it was not until u help arrived from the city that the maniacs were got under control, and it j was safe to release them from their cells. Special trains were made up in a few hours and 200 of the patients j were brought to Lincoln. ^ H M'KINLEY MONUMENT MOVEMENT; fi b Commission National In Soope to Be Farmed to Have Charge ef the Work, i Cleveland, Ohio?Initial steps have f< teen taken toward the erection at b Canton through popular subscription! si of what is hoped -will be a fitting and fl magnificent monument to the memory of the late President McKinley. b At a conference, attended by Sena- It tor Hanna, Judge William R.

M!flC CABLE 18 ASSURED t Will Run to Hawaii, the Philip" pines, China and Japan /ILL BE READY IN TWO YEARS he Commercial Pacific Cable Company Incorporated to Connect New York City With the Far East?Present Cable Rates Will Be Seduced Prom Thirty to Sixty Per Cent. Albany, N. Y?The Commercial PaIfic Cable Company has been incororated with a capital of $100,000. The eneral route of the company is from Tew York City across the United tptes to California, thence under the acific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands, lence to the Philippine Islands, touch1 g other Islands In tht Pacific cean. The directors are John W. Mackay, f Virginia City, Nev.; George G. fard, Albert Beck, William W. Cook, nd George Clapperton, of New York Ity; Albert B. Chandler and Edward . Piatt, of Brooklyn, and Clarence C. Mackay, of Roslyn, L. I. Ia explaining the purposes of the ew company John W. Mackay said lat the Commercial Pacific Cable ompany had been organized for the urpose of laying a submarine cable ^ *- Jt?I rom uamorma 10 uie xmuppjuc xoinds by way of Honolulu, in the Harailan Islands. The length of the cale will be about 8500 miles. The part first laid will be from Calljrnia to the Hawaiian Islands, a disince of about 2200 miles. It is cxected that this portion will be in peration within nine months. The me sequired for the laying of the reminder of the cable from the Hawaiian Islands to the Philippine Islnds will depend upon how quickly le cables can be manufactured. Mr. [ackay believes that the whole cable rill be in operation within two years :om this date. Mr. Mackay further explained that lie new cable, when it reached the 'hilippiires, would connect at that pint with the present submarine caIe running from the Philippines to apan, and also the cable running rom the Philippines to China, and lat a direct route from China and apan fo the United States would lereby be established, which he beeved would be of the greatest benet to the growing commerce and trade etween the United States and the ar East At present cablegrams from China > the United States have to be sent y way of Europe. Mr. Mackay also tated that the present cable rates rom the United States to the Philipifles and to China and Japan would e reduced, when the new' cable la lid, from thirty to sixty per cent SAMPSON CIVES UP HIS POST.

The President Feels That He Does Not Need Guards and He Will Not Hay# Them ? His First Official Act. Washington. D. C.?President Theodore Roosevelt returned Friday morning from Canton, and the affairs of the Nation were taken up by the new Executive where his martyred predecessor, William McKinley, had dropped them. President Roosevelt returned to Washington on the same train that took him to Canton. The train was made up in three sections, just as it weitf, with the President's car and those of the members of the Cabinet and the officers of the army in the middle section. The train was preceded by a pilot engine all the way to Washington. The new President presided over his first formal Cabinet meeting in the White House at 11 o'clock a. in. Before the Cabinet meeting President Roosevelt performed his first official act in the White House. This was the appointment of EleutenantColonel James M. Bell as a BrigadierGeneral in the Army. This appointment was one of those decided upon by President McKinley, but the commission was not signal before his death. Colonel Bell was promoted twice during the Civil War for meritorious conduct, once in the Indian campaigns of Montana, and has recently distinguished himself iu the Philippines. In a few days ITe will receive from each Cabinet officer an abstract of the matters now before his department demanding immediate attention, and in all Drobablllty each officer will de clare what were the intentions or President McKlnley with regard to these matters. The new President will get in touch with the last views of the late President on all important questions, and for this reason it is expected that Cabinet meetings will be protracted. Affairs in Cuba will be considered also, Governor-General Wood being here. General Wood and President Roosevelt are close friends, having been together in the famous Rough Riders. In view of the President's determination to adhere as closely as possible to the policies and wishes of Mr. McKlnley, he will not have the worry and the hard work of considering a great number of applications for offices, seeking new advisers, or revising plans contemplated or being carried out. The fact that President Roosevelt walked from the White House to the residence of Secretary Hay and back at lunch time, and also to the Cowles residence at the close of his day's work, alone and apparently u'nwatched by policemen or Secret Service agents, has caused widespread comment. The act serves as an object lesson touching tha now President's attitude on the much-discussed question of the wisdom and efficacy of guards about the person of the President. Plainly President Roosevelt does not feel in need of any further protection than Citizen Theodore Roosevelt had and does not mean to have It. The President 1s not led to this determination by a spirit of bravado, but because he knows that guards never have succeeded and never will succeed in staying the hand of an Anarchist assassin. President Roosevelt will take all precautions suggested by prudence and dignity of his office, but he will not be surrounded by guards. Neither will he be reckless. To put it In a nutshell. President Roosevelt is evidently prepared to defend himself from threatened danger when going ibout his ordinary pursuits. He undoubtedly feels justified in assuming that if a man offers to attack him the assailant will be the man to be pitied rather than his intended victim. All arrangements had been made at the White House for the reception of President Roosevelt. Although the personal effects of Mrs. McKinley and the late President have not been shipped to Canton, the rooms in the Executive Mansion used by the President have been prepared for Mr. Roosevelt's occupancy. Before the arrival of Mrs. Roosevelt and the children, the carpets nnd heavy winter hangings will be placed in the living rooms of the mansion, as would have been done at about this time had President McKinley lived and returned here from Canton. The house te now furnished for summer use, the floors being covered with straw mattings Instead of carpets, and the furniture and rich decorations of the State parlors being protected by linen and cambric covers. Grief Leads to Insanity. Sorrow over the death of President McKinley has had a marked effect on persons suffering from nervous and brain diseases and increased the number of cases of insanity. In one day forty-four men and women were taken into the court for the insane at the detention hospital in Chicago. County Physician Hunter said: "Every calamity which plunges the population into sadness has a most depressing effect upon persons suffering from nerve and brain troubles, and results in insanity. These attack*, in many Instances, are acute in character, but yield to treatment." An Ago Limit For Waitresses.

IIIUU II Vlikv m ui | Ml Nations Paid Homage to the Memory of William McKinley. THE COUNTRY'S DAY OF SORROW Remarkable Demonstration* of the WorldWide Feeling Arooned by the Death of President McKinley?For Fire Ml lint OS the Nation's Business Was Sua* pended as a Tribute to the Dead. Washington. D. C.?At the stroke of a church bell in a country town on Thursday the world listened, then rt'od still, then knelt and then prayed. Sorrow overleaped the bounds of space. The knell that sounded at 2.30 o'clock in the Ohio town of Canton?the one great metallic voice that seemed to say "Rest! Rest! Rest!" as the body of William McKinley was borne to its tomb?grew and grew to a thunder of sound with the greater leagues that It covered. To east and west It spread, and as that voice, now chanting solemnly, "Mourn! mourn! mourn!" swept over the earth, all peoples prayed; the prince, the priest, the citizen. Never before in the history of the world had that world been so swept by sorrow?a tidal wave of emotion that surged from pole to pole, from east to west, blotting out class and creed and race in the universal tribute of tears. The bell that clanged out its message in the little Methodist church in Can-' ton was like a heart sending out its pulses through the body of the world ?like a great central station with a million wires, making a web each strand of which touched a heart somewhere. In this Nation It mattered not whether men were on land or water. They ceased the moment's step for a full five minutes to say, "God rest him!" The engines of great ships and little river boats stopped, and as the craft lay idle, again came the simple, solemn phrase, "God rest him!" Time had been defied; the great Clock of the Human Heart marked only the one hour. It was 2.30 o'clock in Canton; it was 2.30 o'clock in spirit in New York City, in San Francisco, in Hawaii, in Hong tfong, in Bombay, in Constantinople, in Paris, in London. Truly the wide world wept. Never before in all the history of the United States or the world was such a tribute paid to the memory of one man. In every city and town of the United States all commerce "was stopped, while hats came off and voices sadly and solemnly joined in one of the dead President's favorite hymns. In New York City the most remarkable scenes occurred. In the public squares thousands gathered hours before the time for the bells, to toll the news that the last solemn act of the great national tragedy had begun. Patiently and silently they waited. Then, as the first deep notes of the bells were heard every hat was raised, and no man stood there covered. Many a handkerchief was lifted to tear-filled eyes, but not a sound was uttered. Trolley cars were at a standstill, and so stood all until the last strokes of the bells announced that the gates of the tomb had been closed. Not a car moved in the city during this time. Not a telegraph instrument clicked. In the great harbor cot a propeller turned. All over this country similar scenes were enacted. Street car lines and great railway systems came to a dead stop. Even those never-ceasing makers of speech, the telegraph wires, lay pulseless for five minutes?for that only five minutes of all the ages in which the world stood still in reverence of a memory of a man. In England's capital memorial services were, held in Westminster Abbey that were second only to those in honor of the lamented Queen Victoria. The representative of King Edward ^ - i))a. VII. was present, au was u, muoi ujotinguished assemblage. Services were also held In St. Paul's and in all the great universities of Great Britain and Ireland. In every capital of Europe and in nearly every civilized country of the world memorial services were held, salutes were fired and flags lowered to half staff. Wherever the warships of Great Britain and Germany were stationed the guns joined in the salute due to the head of the new great world Power. Throughout the British empire such reverence was paid by voice, gun and flag as has never been paid before to any one save Queen Victoria. In the American church in Paris, Frenchmen and Americans mourned; to the services in Berlin the Kaiser sent a special representative. And of William McKinley's own country, what need to say that Its grief was the greatest it ever has known! From outermost cape of the East to our westernmost island possession, from Seattle to Cuba, the churches were filled and the flag that he loved drooped at half-mast. j The ceremonies, the services, the 1 ^/.nmHnna tho .mHons of the citizens | UCV.l/lUVivuW, were the same in capital and in hamlet The eulogies differed only as the limitations and abilities of the speakers differed. All were alike in that they breathed forth the deep sorrow, th_? great love of a weeping Nation. The 6tory of the ceremonies and of t1'-* closing of business houses and factories is the same everywhere. The story of one city's action is the story of every city and village within the jurisdiction of the United States. Grief and mourning were general. BrUiflh Destroyer Sunk.

WILSON DEAD Sohley's Senior Counsel Expired Suddenly of Acute Indigestion Distinguished Lawyer Had Been in Consultatlon With a Colleague a Few Minutes Before He Was Stricken. Washington, D. C.?Former Judge Jeremiah M. Wilson, chief counsel forRear-Admiral Schley, died suddenly at the Shoreham Hotel on Tuesday. The Schley Court of Inquiry promptly adjourned on receiving a message telling of former Judge Wilson's death. Former Judge Wilson complained on the previous evening of not feeling well, suffering, it was thought, from an attack of acute indigestion. He was ill during the night, but was so much better when the doctors arrived that it was thought he could appear at the Schley Court of Inquiry. His associates, Messrs. Rayner and Parker, left the hotel for the Navy Department nf- in oVlork a m eTnertine Judge Wilson to follow. It was found, however, that his kidneys were seriously affected, and in spite of the efforts of the physicians he died at 11.15. The announcement was made to the court by the Hon. Isador Rayner. assistant counsel, in the following language: "I have a very sad announcement to make to the court. I have just heard of the death of Judge Wilson. I left him at ten o'clock this morning, slightly indisposed. I was with him until late last night. I saw him this morning at eight o'clock and left him at ten. We have confirmed the rumor through the telephone that he has just died at the Shoreham Hotel, and I would respectfully ask the court, if it meets with the approval of the court, to adjourn for to-day." Rear-Admiral Schley announced after the adjournment that he would employ no additional counsel, being satisfied to let the case remain in the hands of Isador Rayner and Captain Parker. Jeremiah M. Wilson stood at the head of the bar in the District of Columbia for many years. He came to Washington first as a Republican member of Congress from Indiana, having been elected to the Forty-second Congress. He was re-elected to the Forty-third Congress. Wilson was a prominent member of the judiciary committee and was at the head of one of the committees to Investigate the Credit Mobiller. After retiring from Congress he formed a partnership with aamuei oneiiaoarger, wun wnom ne had served In Congress. For many years Shellabarger and Wilson were the leaders of the District bar. Judge Shellabarger died about ten years ago. Judge Wilson was born in WarrenCounty, Ohio, November 25, 1828. He had an academic education. He was judge of the Court of Common Pleas and df the Circuit Court in Indiana prior to his election to Congress. For several years he had been in ill health. INTEREST IN CUP RACES. The International Yacht Contest Turned Landlubbers Into Nantlcal Sharps. New York City.?The yacht races between the Columbia and Shamrock II. for the America's Cup have aroused popular interest to fever heat. Nearly everybody ia talking in the nautical tongue, and the knowledge displayed by the professedly landlubber upon yachting matters is surprising. The illustration shows at a glance every position that a yacht can sail in. There Is only one direction in which a yacht cannot sail, and that is against the if / \ 5 ?f CHART FOB THE INTEBNATION AL YACHT BACKS wind. The manner in which yachts go to windward is by "tacking," and in going from one point to another in this way they cover more than twice the actual distance required. The angles of these tacks are at about ninety degrees to each other, so that the yacht sails at an angle of about forty-five degrees to the windOne quarter of the circle shows the place where no yacht can sail without tacking. On any other point within , the circle the yacht can sail indefinitely without tacking. When a yacht is sailing as near the wind as she will go she is said to be "close hauled." She is then sailing at an angle of about forty-five degrees from the direction of the wind. When a yacht is said to be on a port tack she is leaning over to starboard, and a yacht on u starboard tack always leans to port. When a yacht is close hauled her boom is drawn in as close as it will go. When she is making a broad reach with the wind on the beam the boom is eased off until it is at an angle of about forty-five degrees from the line Df the .keel. wnen sue is runumg ueiore iuu wir.d the boom is at right angles to th? direction of the wind and to the lin: of the keel.
