Emma Goldman, thoannrohist q'toon,
undor whoso rod bonner Loon Czolgoez
claims ho standp, whoso words ho
olaims fired his heart and hin brnin to
attompt tho assassination of tho prosi
dont, was arrosttd in Chicago, on Wed
nofday of last week.
Sho disolaimod all but tho slightest
noquaintanoo with tho prosidont's ns
sailaut; sho denied absolutoly that sho
or anarchists sho know woro implicated
ia any plot to kill tho prosidont. Sho
Baid sho boliovod Utolgosz aotod on
tiroly on his own robponsibility and
that ho novor olaimcd to havo boon in
spired by hor, as, ho is quotod ts af

Tho prosidont, sho averred with a
yawn, was an insignificant boiug to hor,
a moro human atom whoso lifo or doath

to hor or to any anarohrst C/olgosa's
aol waa foolish, yoi oho declared
probably had its inspiration in tho mis

Miss Goldman arrived in Chioago
from St. Louis. lier immunity from

and up to Wednesday in Chioago af
forded hor much amusomont. Sho to d,
in Bontonoos punctuated with laughter
of hor oapluro. In her conversation
with reportors-and sho talked with

Captain Sohuottlor lod her from tho of
fioo of Ohiof of t'olioo O'Noill to tho

to tho womon's annox at tho Harrison
stroot poli JO station. For a moment
sho booanio a woman puro and simple
andcriod. In a momont, howevor, thia
exhibition of distroas was over and
whon she put hor foot on tho stop to
mount into tho oarriago abo was again
Erna-a Goldman, tho "high priostoss of
anarohy," as sho has been stylod by
hor followers.

days ago. Sho had intondod io givo
horeolf up to tho police, but delayed
it, for eine roason and for anothor, until
tho polioo sho had doridod BO rhuoh had
taken tho matter in their own hands.
"What did you think whoa you
hoard that an attompt to kill tho prosi
dont had boon made ?" tho woman wa9
asked.
With a wavo of hor hands and an
othor shrug of tho shouldors sho nu
swored disdainfully:
"1 thought oh, tho fooll"
Tho prisonor's manner bad boon
crowing moro nnd moro excited, al
though sho mado an ovidont effort to
eontrol horaolf. In this sho finally
suooooded and launohod into adiaoourao
of tho teachings of anarohy. Sho do
olarod that anarohy did not tonoh mon
to do tho aot which hoi mado CzolgOBZ
doBpisod and hatod the world over.
"Wo work against tho eyatoin and
education is our watchword," sho said.
"lt was oarly last July whon I
oamo to Uhioago to visit tho Isaak's
family, sho continued, in nnswor to nn
iutoriogation concerning hor where
abouts rooontly. "On tho night of
July 12, Isaak was out of tho houso.
Tho boll rang and I wont to tho door.
Tho man, who 1 learn through tho
newspapers was Lt )lgotz, stood thoro.
Ho wanted to soo mo. 1 waa about to
oatoh tho Nickel Plato train as I and
Mr. Isaaks' daughter were about to go
to Pvoohostov. Ho went alone to tho
Kook Island dej o?, whero ho mot us,
but I was so busy inking leave of my
friends that 1 scarcely noticed him. It
wae not a timo when ono would want to
make-nowfrionds. At tho dopot I had
tho fow woida with him of whioh 1
havo told, That wan all thoro ovor was
botwoen u?r."
"1 am an an arch int-a studoot of so
cialism; but, nothing in anything I
over enid to Loon Czolgosz knowingly
would havo led him to do tho aot whioh
startled ovorybody Friday."
"Not oven in your looiUrob? Ho says
your words not hi9 brainon fire," askod
tho interviewer.
''Am 1 hooountablo bcoauao some
oraokod brain person put a wrong oon
dtruolion on my wordb? Loon Czolgo&z
1 am oonvinaoa, planned tho deed un
aided and entirely alono. Thoro is no
anarchist ring whioh would holp him.
Thore may bo anarohiats who would
murdor, but thero also aro mon in ovory
walk of lifo who sometimes fool tho im
pulso to kill. 1 do not know nurdy,
but 1 think Czolgoi * was ono of thoso
down-lroddon men who soo all tho mis
ery which tho nob inflict upon tho
poor; who think of it, who brood ovor
it and then, in despair, resolve tostriko
a great blow, ns they think, for tho
good of their fellow mon. But that is
not anarohy. Oolgotz may havo boon
inspired by me ; but, ii ho was, ho took
tho wrong way of showing it."
Tho anarohibtio Uoturor woro a whito
shirt waist of fino matorial, a dark
bluo eheviot akirt, palont loather boots
and a straw hat enoirolcd by a dottod

"If I told yen," sho ropliod, ''itwould

"I am not in a postion to say
whether it was good or bad. It ia
bad for tho man who attomptod to do

Tho Sohloy oourt of inquiry assena
hlod in Washington on Thursday, and
within throo hours from tho timo of
oonvoning announood that Hoar Ad
miral Howison was disqualiiiod from
sorving na a member of tho oourt and
waa oxouaod from furthor duty. Thia
brought proocoding to an abrupt ter
mination and o&usod a temporary ad
journment of tho oourt in ordor to por
mit tho navy dopartmont to doaignato
an officer to fcuooood Admiral Howison.
No tur thor Bossion ia probable until
tho oarly part of next weok. It had
boon expeolod that little official busi
ness would bo aooompli8hod on tho
oponing day, and tho prompt dooiaion
as to Admiral Howiaon carno somewhat
as a surprise
Intonso intorost appoarod tobo takon
by tho publio in tho proceedings and
though it was known that only a vory
"limited uuurber uf puiauiib would bu
admittod to thu oourt room and tboBO
by card, a largo orowd waa assomblod
at tho oourt room Thuraday morning to
witness tho coming and going of tho
prominent naval oflioor? who wero to
tnko patt in tho proooodinga. Thoy
carno ununiformod and unhoraldod,
and until tho full dress uniforma had
boon donnod at quarters insido tho yard
for tho actual sosBions of tho oourt,
thoro waa little to loud dramatic inter
eat to tho oooasion. Admiral Dawoy
and Admiral Sohloy naturally woro tho
premier figuroa in popular intercut.
Tho lattor had about him a distinguish
ed array of oounsol, including Hon.
Joro Wilson, Attorney 'General Isidor
Raynor of Maryland and Capt. Jamos
Parkor, with Mr. Ton gu o aoting as ad
visory oounsol. Tho Gorman naval at

pied ono of tho soatsin tho publio aroa
and tho numbor of wivos of naval oih
oor? prosont was noteworthy.
A salute of 17 guns in honor of tho
admiral of tho navy markod tho opon
ing of tho proooodinga ni 1 o'clock. Tho
Ubual formalities on tho oponing of a
oourt wero transaotod with dispatoh.
Tho first skirmish waa oponod by Ad
miral Sohloy rifling from hi? neat and
spoaking in a strong voioo, calmly and
dolibcv&toly, challenging'Admiral How-'
ison'a eligibility as a member of tho
oourt. Throo witaosaos woro brought
forward in support of his challongo,
namoly, Franois S. Frost, William E.
Spon and Postor Nioholls. Thoy gavo
very positive testimony as to expres
sions thoy had hoard Admiral Howison
mako, favorablo to Admiral Sampson
and unfavorable to Admiral Sohloy.
Mr. Frost testified to a statoraont Ad
miral Howison had mad o to him at
Boston while the witnosa was sockiug
non? aa a rcportor, Mr. Spon to re
mark? uiado while ho and tho admiral
were journeying back to thia country
from Europa on a traus-Atlantio
stoamor, and Mr. Nioholh)'convocation
ooourrod during a businoaa oall at Ad

Yoirkors, N. Y. On oonoluding this
testimony, tho question aroao whothor
Admiral Howison would join iasuo with
tho statements made by tho witnosaos,
or would root upon his privilogo to
withhold any answer until bo olrooBO to
submit it. Tho admiral mot tho iasuo
by turning at onoo to Admiral Dowey
and announcing that ho would mako a
writton rejoinder to tho ?tatomonta of
tho throo witnossoa. This rejoindor ho
proparod vory spoodily. While ooh?
ooding tho noouraoy of somo pointa in
tho ovidoneo it throw considerable
doubt on other pointa and disolaimcd
any rooollootion of the talks said to
havo taken placo on tho trans-Atlantic
steamer, lt was not suffioiont, how
ever, to oountoraot tho vory direct tea
timony givon by tho throo witnoBBOB
and moroovor tho admiral himself, in
oonoluding his statoraont, indioatod
plainly that ho had no dosiro to romain
on tho oourt and was thoro simply in
obedionoo to ordere. Ho ovon appealed
to his assooiatos oo tho court to dooido
all doubtful questions aa to his eligi
bility in favor of Admiral Sohloy.
Boforo submitting tho challongo to
tho determination of tho oourt Mr.
Kay nor erofia-examino d Admiral Houi

briefly announood that tho oourt sus
tainod tho challongo and that Admira
Howison would bo oxousod from fur

quickly and unoxpoUedly that it sent
a iluttor of agitation throughout the
oourt room. Thoro was a buzz of ani
mated oommont, and Admiral Sohloy
oxohangod looks of satisfaction with
hia oounsel. Admiral Dowoy thou at
once olosed tho proooodings of tho day

Prosidont Hos at tho homo of ProsidoViS.
Milburn, of tho Exposition Company
says Prosidont MoKinloy oxpcrionpod'n
sinking spoil shortly aftor two o'olook
Friday morning. Tho physicians adv
rainistorod restoratives, but thoy had'
littlo or no offcot, and at throo o'oloc).
tho Assooiatod Pross was authorized lr
say that Prosidont MoKinloy was oriti
oally ill.
About throo o'olook Friday morning ?
tho following was issued by tho Pre&i-j
dents' physicians: "Tho president's j
condition is very sorious and give riso
to tho gravost approhonsion. His bow*
els havo moved woll, but his heart doos?
not rospond properly to stimulation*'
Ho is oo ano io us, Tho skin is warm and
tho pulso small, regular, oasily compre^
siblo and 126; respiration 30; tem?,
pjrnturo 100."
A bulletin issuod at twonty-fivo after
throe o'olook Friday morning said "tho
prosidont is so woak that ho doos not
apparently suttor muoh. Strychnine,
digitalis and other powerful honrt ft ti in

MoKinloy has not yotboon informed of
tho chango for tho worso."
Dr. Mann at four o'olook said tho
Prosidont rallied somo, but immediate
ly oamo tho unwoloomo nows that tho
rally was vory slight. At 4:15 Sooro
tary Oortolyou aud Mr. Milburn omorged
from tho houso and walked up tho sido

HE I fl DEAD. T
Prosidont MpKinloy diod at V-l?^aV
urday morning. Ho had boon unooafloi
ous sinoo 7:30 p. m. His last oonsoi
ous hour on earth was ?pent with tho
wifo to whom ho dovotcd a lifotimo of
oato. Ho died unattended by a minis
tor of tho gospol, but his last'wordg woro
an humble submission to tho will of tho
God in whom ho bolicvod. Ho was re
conciled to tho crud fato to whioh an
assassin's bullet had oondomnod him,
and facod doath in tho samo spirit of
oalmnoss and poiao whioh has markpd
his long and honorable caroo?. His last
oonsoious words, reduced to writing by
Dr. Mann, who stood at his bodbido
when thoy wore uttorod, wore as fol
lows:
"Good-byo, all; good-byo. It's God's
way. His will bo nono."
His rolatives, and mombors of tho
ofboial family, were at tho Milburn
houso, oxoopt Soorotary Wilson, who
did not avail himsolf of tho opportuni
ty, and somo of his pomonal and politi
cal frionds who took loavo of him. This
painful ooromony was ?implo. His
frionds came to tho door of tho siok
room, took a longing glauco at him,
and turned toar?ully away. Ho wa)
practically unconscious during this
limo. But tho powerful hoart stimul
ants, including oxygon, woro omploycd
to rostorc him to ooneoiousnoss for his
final parting with his wife Ho asked
tor ber, and sho sat at his side and
bold bis hands. He oousolcd hor and
bado hor good-byo. Sho wont through
tho heart trying soono with tho eamo
bravery and fortitudo with whioh sho
has borno thc griof of tho tragedy
whioh hasondod bis lifo.
Tho immediato eau JO of tho presi

require an autopsy to fix tho oxaotoause.
Tho president's romains will bo takon

Tho story told by tho nogro bishop as

A BOSTON MAN'S P?lDE

A fall has boon takon out of ono
Robert Treat Paine, of Boston, in a
way that merits applauso and it was
handed a gontlomau by a mau bearing
tho samo namo who rcsidos, in . Now

similarity of names for mon to havo
their lettors mixed and it was through
just snob>n ooourrenoo that Paine, Of
Boston, dl&covorod to his sorrow .that
thoro lived anothor Paino in New York.
It acema tho Now York man got somo
oi tho Boston man's letters, and..see

"Please find onolosed letter opened

Tho man from tho Hub was angered,
not only booauso tho letters wero mixed
but beoJu;o thoro was anothor boering
tho samo namo. Ho sent tho following
roplv to Now York:
"Your lcttor with tho ooolo?uro has
bren reacivod by mo. I hope you will
allow mo to oxpross sinoore regret that
you should boar tho namo that by right

onco, who wait tho first to boar that
namo. if thc namo was givonto
you out of honor to the siguor, I think
such practico should not roooivo tho
Banotioa of anv thoughtful person."
Plain Mr. Robert Treat Paino of
Now York waa aurpriaod at tho tono of
tho lotter written by Mr. llobort Troat
Paino, of Boston, so ho wroto him a BC
lection thai nooma to fit tho oaso ox
aotly:
"Your remarkable lottor has boon
roootved by mo and for th i raaaon that
it ia impossible to atop tho bray of tho

Oontinuing, tho Senator said that tho . ' /

whioh confronted tho poopio or. tho

thcBo womod t<n indignity. It was for
this reason that tho pooplo of tho South
wore moro iodulgout towards tho*
negroes than wore tho pooplo of tho
North. Now, if undor slavery thc
nogroos wore so much bettor than they
aro now, and if tho aot of tho pooplo of
tho North was pro duo ti vo of woll known
ineroaso in orimo among tho negroes,
whero should tho blamo for prosont

Northern hoarevB that they did not bo
liovo thc negro was their equal. They
thought ho was on social equality with

and thoy woro simply hypoorities when
thoy talked about his social and politi

It is along this lino that ho will talk
