^ McKlnley was Bliot ami seriously
vounded t?y a would-be assassin while
holding a reception in the Tcpiple of
Music at the Pan-American Exposition
a few minutes after -1, o'clock Friday.
One shot took effe:'t in the hreast
the. other in the abdomen. The first is
not of a serious nature and the bullet I
has been extracted. The latter pierced
the abdominal wall and has not been
located.
It was a few moments after ^ p. m.,
^?hile 'President M<;i?inley was holdinK
a public reception in the great Temple
petdally persons of note whi^ approach

Cortolyou. f 1 '
Then tho multitude wl^ioh thronged
tho oililleo began to comedo a realiz
ing sense of tho awfulnefcs of the
scene of which they had been unwill
ing witnesses. A murmur arose,
spread and s we Hod to a hum of con
fusion, then grew to a habe! of Bounds
and later to a pandemonium of noises.
Tho crowds that a moment before hail
stood mute and motionless as In be

pulse surged forward toward the stage
of the horrid drama, while a hoarse
cry welled up from a thousand throiits
and a thousand men charged forward
to lay hands upon the perpetrator of
the dastardly crime.
A SCENE OF WILD CONFUSION.
For a moment e<?.fusiou was terri

I gaidlcK? of consequences. Men shout
j od and fought, women screamed and
I children cried. Some of those nearest
the doors lied from the odlflce in fear
of a stampede, while hundreds of oth

PRESIDENT WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
o' Music, on (ho Pan-American :
groiyids, thSt the cowarrtiy attack *
was made. with what Access time
alune can" tell. Standing in the midst
of crowds numbering thousands, sur
rounded by every evidence of good will <
pressed by a motley throng of people,
showered with expiessions of love and
loyalty, besieged by multitudes all
eager to clasp bis hand, amid these 1
surroundings ami with the ever-re
curring plaudits of an admiring army !
of sight-seers, ringing in his ears, the
blow of the assassin fell and in an in- j
sunt pleasure gave way to pain, ad
miration to agony, folly to fury and
pandomonium followed.
Down at police headquarters, sur
rounded -by stern-faced inquisitors of
the law, sits a medium-sized man of |
coiumon-pT&ce appearance ""WIUS liTs
gaze fixed on the floor, and listens with
an air of assumed indifference to ffSe
persistent stream of questions, argu
ments. objurgations and admonitions
with which his captors sock to Induce
or compel him to talk. The daily or
gun recital in the Temple of Music
witnessed the dastardly attempt.
Planned. with the diabolical ingenuity
and finesse of which anarchy or Nihil
ism is capable, the would-bo assassin ;
carried out the work without a hitch :
and should his drsi#is fail and the j
President survive, only to Divine Prov
idence can be attributed that benefi
cent result.
.The President, though well-guarded
by United States Secret Servleo detec
tives, was fully e-xposed to such an at
tack as occurred. He stood at the edge
of the raised dais upon which stands
the great pipe organ at the east side
* of the magnificent structure. Throngs
of people rt'owdcd 4n, to gase upon
their executive, perchance to clasp his '
hands, and then UghHhelr way out in

- ute swelled and multiplied at the
points j>t Ingress and egress to the
building. The President was la a cheer

which everywhere merhjsgase. Upon

flee. '
A DRAMATIC TRAGEDY.
Inside on the slightly raised dais
was enacted within those few feverish
moments a tragedy, so dramatic in :
character, so thrilling in its intensity :
that few who looked on will ever be !
able to give a succinct account of what i
really did transpire. Even the actors j
who were playing the principal roles ?
came out of it with blanched faces, !
trembling limbs and beating hearts !
while their brains throbbed with a j
tumult of conflicting emotions which j
could not be clarified Into a lucid nar- j
rattye of the events as they really
transpired.
PRESIDENT REMAINED CALM.
Itnt of tho mntrtrudo wAtch witness
ed or bore a part In the scene of tur
moil an:i turbulenco there was but ouc
mind which seemed/' to retain its
equlllbrhlm, ono-Hifnd which remain
ed steady, one aye which gazed with
unflinching calmness and one voice
which retained Vis even tenor and fil
tered not at the most critical Juncture.
They were the mind and the hand
nnd the eye and the voice of Presi
dent McKinley. * After the first shock
of tho assassin's shifts, he retreated a
step. Then as thej^letectlves leaped
upon his assailant/ he turned, walked
steadily to a chair and seated him
self, at the same time removing his
hat and bowing his head in his hands.
In an Instant Secretary Cortelyou 'and
President Mllburn were at hm side.
His waistcoat was hurriedly opened,
the President meanwhile admonishing
those about him to remain calm and
telling them not to be alarmed.
"But you are wounded," cried his
secretary, "l<xt mq examine."
"No, I think not," answered tho
President- "I am not badly hurt, I
assure you."'

Tlic Assa'lant
Leon Czologosz, the would-be as
j snssin has signed a c.onfeslon covering
j six pages of fo<^MPHpjr*which states
j.that he is an anarefilS'tF'aiid thai he be
. < a:ne an cuthusia*{ic member of that
body through the ? influence of Emma
' Cloldn^an. whose writings ho had read
j and whose lectures he had listened
to. He denies haviug any confederate
and says he decided on tbo act three
days ago and bought the revolver with
which the act was committed in Duf
falo. He had seven brothers ami sis
ters in Cleveland, and the Cleveland
directory has the names of about that
number living on llosmer street and
Ackland avenue, which adjoin. Some
of them are butchers ami others in
I different trades. He is now detained at
j police headquarters pending the result
of the President?^ injuries.
Czologosz does not appear in the.
least degree uneasy or penitent for his
action. He says bo was induced by
his attention to Km ma Goldmaffs lec
tures and writings to decide that the
present form of government in this
?^wmtttry was all wrong and he thought
the best way to end it was by killing
the President. He shows no sign of
insanity, but is vct-y reticent about
much of bis career. While acknowl
edging himself ?un anarchist, he does
not state to what branch oj the or
I cauization lie belongs.
Sympathetic Resolutions.
The announcement of the attempted
assassination of President McKlnley
brought, feetyfigs of sadness and hor
ror to all scetious of the country.
Resolutions of sympathy have been
passed in all the leading cities cf th?
South, and at Columbia, S. C., Camp
Hampton, of Confederate veterans,
passed strong resolutions condemning
the crime and praying for the Prey.I
I dent's recovery. The 'would-be assa.;
I sin belongs to a dangerous class of
! foreigners,, and h?s act comes with*
! cut any assignable reason.
The News In London.
London, By Cable. ? The news of
the attempt upon the life of President
McKlnley spread slowly ift London.
The first ticker report#' were discred
ited; then, with the confirmation and
general dissemination of the news,
arose a far-reaching feeling of sorrow
ami indignation which, wherever
Americans gathered, almost gained the
proportions of a panic, accontpanlcd
by feverish anxiety for further details.
The thousands of Americans now in
London w.ero mostly at the theatres
when the news arrived; and returning
to their hotels found anxious groups
of Englishmen r.nd Americans discuss
ing what; wlthmit rtlsttTTctton of rare,
is regarded as a national calamity.
The announcement of the attempted
assanalnatiofy was received too late for
extra editions^of the papers to an
nounce the news to the mass of the
English people nnd they will not learn
until, they take up their morning pa
pers of the President's injuries.

Shooting of President (larfleld.
The next Presidential assassination
' was the killing of* James A. Garfield by
! Charles J. Guitea p, a disappointed and
1 mentally unbalanced office-seeker. It
| wa^ on July 2, 18S1 that Guiteau $hot
' at Garfield twice in the ladies' wainng
' room of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad in Washington, as he( was
about leaving the city to join liis' wife
I on u New England pleasure trip. One
of the halls took effort in his hack and
he sank unconscious to the floor. He
was at owe conveyed to the White
House anil there attended by the host
medical skill till September 6ih, when
ly* was removed to the seashore at 151
berton, N. J. Uloodpolsonlng appeared
on the 15thf and four days later he
dlc.1. j-/"
Uuitean was promptly arrWed. in
dicted and after one or the inosi. se'isa
tional trials on record, was convicted
and cxccuted on June 2D. 1882. Gui
tran's lawyers set tip the plea of in
sanity. He had heen a persistent can
didate for appointment, first as min
ister to Austria and then as consul
general to Paris. He Is reported us hav
. Ing said, when arrested, "All right. I
i did ft . and will go to Jail for it." A" let
ter was also found on his person in
which he spoke of the President's as
sassination as "a sad necessity" t bat
would "unite the Republican party and
save the Republic."
President (iarflold made a brave tight
for life. His death did not occur until,
some two months after he was shot;
and several times during that period'
he. was pronounced by his physicians
as almost out of dangei.
A description of his wound may not
no uninteresting just here, as it bears,
in soma respects, a rcsomblanco to one
of the wounds from which President
McKiniey is now suffering.
The assassin stood about Blx fort be
hind and a little to the right of Mr.
(Jarfleld. *n examination of the wound
showed that the bullet had entered be
tween the eleventh and twelfth ribs,
about 4 Inches to the right -of the Hpi
jial column, and <hc physicians were of
th<?S^iAftJon I hat It had grazed the Uv<r
and li?il|iTr lw lh[_front wall of the ab
domen. They iliim^ 1 tin jnlin y - not
neceasarlty fatal, but concluded that it
w** not advisable to attempt removal
tt the -ball.
I /iter, however. It was ^discovered
that neither the liver jKfr any other
vital org<%i was affectm by the bullet.

During President CarliebVjj sicklies
there had been criticisms and discus

post-mortem examination was held. It
was found that the ball, after fractur

through the spinal column in fr. nt of

lumbar vertebra and driving the spl ti
