But, then, as the little FilipiDo Senorita's say, "Pocatiempo", I will ^ be home, but not donned in a soldier's ai suit, for I expect to throw that away just as soon as I strike Frisco or New York, and buy me a suit of civilian clothes. Now the army is all right ^ for some people and it is a good ^ home for those that like it, but ex- ^ cuse me. It is quite an easy matter j? to soldier over here now and all a fellow has to do is think about the t:me when he will get home and ^ orriovo himsplf tn rlpftth nver it. have five months to serve from today, and ere this letter is printed in the Dispatch I will have only four ^ months to serve, so you see friends ^ my courting days will soon be on j again.

It was shortly after 4 p. m., when one of the throDg which surrounded the Presidential party, a medium sized man of ordinary appearance and j i plainly dressed in black, approached ; as if to greet the President. Both Private Secretary Cartelyou and President Milburn, of the Exposition, noticed that the man's hand was [ 1 nmnlU/. J < % MM awatutu m a uauuago ui uauuncichief. Keports of bystanders differ as to his hand. He worked his way amid the stream of people up the edge of the disc until he was witbiD two feet of the President. 1 Mr. McKinley smiled, bowed and 1 extended his hand in that spirit of geniality the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voices, shuffling of 1 myriad feet and vibrating waves of 1 applause that ever and anon swept i ; here and there over the assemblage, j 1 There wa3 an instant of almost j complete silence. The President j stood stock still, a look of hesitancy, j almost of bewilderment, on his face. Then he retreated a step while a pallor began to steal over his features. The multitude, only partially aware that eomethiDg serious had happened, paused in surprise, while necks were craned and all eyes turned as one toward the rostum, where a great tragedy was being enacted. After the first shock of the assas sin's shots, he retreated a step then j as the detectives leaped upon his as- j sailant he turned, walked steadily to j a chair and seated himself, at the same time removing hi3 hat and bow- I ing his head in his hands. In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at his side. His coat was hurriedly opened, the President meanwhile admonishing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed, j "But you are wounded," cried his j Secretary, "let me examine!" "No, I think not," answered the I President. "I am not badly hurt, I j assure you." Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loosened and when a lTlC&ilIJ?^ SlIUilLLl ui UI1UJ5UU waa occu to wind its way down bis breast, 1 spreading its tell tale slain over the j white surface of the linen their worst fears were confirmed. As soon as the crowd in the Temple of Music had been dispersed suf- : ficiently the President was removed j in the automobile ambulance and I taken to the exposition hospital, where an examination was made. The best medical skill was summoned : and within a brief period several of j Buffalo's best known practitioners were at the patient's side. j EXAMINE THE WOUNDS. The President retained the full ex- j j ercise of his faculties until placed on : the operating table and subjected to i , an anaesthetic. Upon the first ex- j ! amination it was ascertained that | one bullet had taken effect in the J right breast just below the nipple, i causing a comparatively harmless i wound. The other took effect in the i abdomen, about four inches below ! the left nipple, four inches to the : j left of the navel and about cn a level 1 I with it. TIIK ASSASSIN". | Then came a commotion.

Then the multitude which throDged the edifice began to come to a realiziDg sense of the awfulness of the j scene of which they had been unwil- I ling witnesses. The President's assailant in the meantime had been hustled to the rear of the building by exposition j guards where he was held while the ' building was cleared and later he was turned over to Superintendent j Bull, of the Buffalo police depart- j ment, who took the prisoner to No 13 police station and afterward to police headquarters. In a few minutes the crowd had j r*rnwn from tens to hundreds and 1 D ? these in turn quickly swelled to i thousands until the street was com- j pletely blocked with a mass of hu- j manity. Id was at this juncture that some one raised the cry of ''Lynch Him!" like a flash the cry was taken I up and the whole crowd, as if ignited by the single match thus applied, | re-echoed the cry, "Lynch him P !;HaDg him P closer the crowd surg- j ed forward. Denser the crowd be- ; came as new arrivals swelled each | moment the swajing multitude, j The situation was becoming critical when suddenly the big doors were j SuDg open and a squad of reserves ! arrived with solid front, drove the crowd back from the curb, then j across the street and then gradually ? > ; *1 t ! succeeded in aisperBmg mem num i about the entrance to the station. By this there was probably 50,000 people assembled in the vicinity of i Pearl, Senrca, Erie streets and the ; terrace.
