Cortelyou, Secretary of the President. President McKinley, the idol of the American people, the nation's chief executive, and the city's lion ored guest, lies prostrate, suffering the pangs inflicted by the bullets of a cowardly assassin, while his life hangs in a balance. Out on Delaware avenue, at the home of John G. Milburn, president of the Pan-American exposition, with tearful face, and heart torn by con flicting hopes and fears, sits the faith. ful wife, whose devotion is known to all the nation. It was a few moments after 4 p. m., while President McKinley was hold ing a public reception in the great Temple of Music, on the Pan-Ameri can grounds, that the cowardly at tack was made, with what success time alone can tell. Standing in the midst of crowds numbering .thousands; surrounded by every evidence of good will; pressed by a motley t.hrong of peo ple; showered wvith expressions of love and loyalty; besieged by multi tudes, all eager to clasp his hand; amid these surroundinge, and with ever- recurring plaudits of an admir ing army of sight-seers ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassion fell, and in an instant pleasure gave woy to pain; admiration to agony; folly turned to fury, and pandemonium followed Ton ight, a surging, swaying, eager multitude throngs the city's main thoroughfares, choking the streets in front of the principal newspapers, scanning the bulletins with anxions eyes, and groaning or cheering in turn each succeedmng announcement as the nature of the message sinks or buoys their koes Down at pole headquarters, sur rounded by stern-faced inquisitors of the law, sits a mediumsized man of commonplace appearance, with his fixed gaze directed on the door, who presses his lips firmly together and listens with an ear of assumed ini difference to the persistent stream of questions, arguments, oitjurations and admonitions with which his cap tors seek to induce or compel him to talk. The daily organ recital in the splendid Temple of Music witnessed the dastardly attempt. Planned with the diabolioal in Lion's Executivo,Struck d of an Assassin.

Wounded-Details of a the Whole Country. genuity and finesse of which anarchy or nihilism is capable, the would-be assassin carried out the work without a hitch, and should his designs fail, and the president survive, only to Divine providence can be attributed that beneficent result. The presi. dent, though well guarded by United States secret service detectives, was fully exposed to such ^n attack 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. Thongs of people crowded in, to gaze upon their executive, perc nee to clasp his hand, and then gbt their way out in the good-natured mob that evory minuts swelled and multiplied at the points of ingress and egress to the building. The president was in a cheerful mood, and was enjoy ing to the full the hearty evidences of good which everywhere met his gaze. Upon his right ,stood John G. Milburn, of Buffalo, president of the Pan- American exposition, chatting with the president and introducing to him especially persons of note who approached. Upon the presi. dent's left stood Mr. Cortelyou. It was shortly after 4 p. m. when one of the throng which surrounded the presidential party, a mediem size man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in black, approached as if to greet the president. Both Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn noticed that the man's hand was swathed in a bandage of hand kerchief. Reports of bystanders differ as to his hand. He worked his way amid the stream of people up the edge of the dins until he was within two feet of the president. Mr. McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that spirit of geniality the American people so well kaow, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above thu hum of voices, the suffling of myriad feet and vibrating waves of applpiuse that ever and anon swept here and there over the as sembl age. There was an instant of almost corn. plate silence. The president stood stock still, a look of hesitancy, al most of bewilderment on his face. Then he retreated a step while a pallor began to steal over his fea. tures. The multitude, only partially aware that something serious had happened, paused in surprise, while necks were craned and all eyes turned as one toward the rostrum, where a great tragedy was being enacted. Then came a commotion. With the leap of a tiger three men threw themselves forward as with one im pulse and sprang toward the would. be assassin. Two of them were Uni ted States secret service men who were on the lookout and w~hose duty it was to guard against just such a calamity as had here befallen the president and the nation. The third was a bystander, a negro, who had only an instant previously grasped in his dusky palm the hand of the president.. As one man the trie hurled themselves upon the presi dent's assassin. In a twinkling he was borne to the ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp and strong arms pinioned him down. Then the multitude which thronged the edifice began to come to a realis ming sense of the awfniness of the ling wit,n 'saes. EFiFEcT ON TnlE PIEOPLE. A murmur arose, spread and swelled to a hum of confusion, then grow to a babel of sounds and later to a pandemonium of noises. The crowds t hat a moment before had stood mnute and motionless as in bewildered ignoranco of the enor mity of the thing, now with a single impulso surgod forward toward the stage of the horrid drains, whilo a hoarse cry wolled up from a thou sand throats and a thousand men charged forward to lay hands upon the porpotrator of the dastardly crime. For a monment confusion was terri. ble. Men shouted and fought, wo men screame(d and children cried. Some of tho o nearest the doors fled from the edifico in fear of a stam pode, while hundreds of others from the outside struggled blindly for ward in the effort to penetrate the crowded building and solve the mys tery of excitement and panic which every moment grow and swelled within the congested interior of the edifice. Inside on the slightly raised dais was enacted within those few fever ish moments a tragedy, so dramatic in character, so thrilling in its inten sity that few who looked on will ever be able to give a succinct act of what really did transpire. Even the ac tors who were playing the principal role came out of it with blanched faces, trembling limbs and beating hearts while their brains throbbed with a tumult of conflicting emotions which conld not be clarified into a lucid narrative of the events as they really transpired. But of the multitude which wit neased or bore a part in the scone of turmoil and turbulence there was but one mind which seemed to retain its equilibrium, one hand which re mained steady, one eyo which gazed with unflinching calmness and one voice which retained its even tenor and faltered not at the most critical juncture. THE PRESIDENT. They were the mind and the hand and the eye and voice of President McKinley. After the first shock of the assas sin's shots, he retreated a step then as the detectives leaped upon his as sailant he turned, walked steadily to a chair and seated himself, at the same timo removing his hat and bow ing his head in his hands. In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at his sidle. His coat was hurried ly opened, .The president meanwhile admonish ing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed. "But you are wounded," cried his secretary, "let me examine." "No, I think not," answered the president. "I am not badly hurt, I assure you." Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loosened and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its wvay down his breast, spreading its telltale stain over the white surface of the linen their worst fears were confirmed. A for-ce of exposition guards were on the scene by this time and an effort wb2 made to clear the build. ings. By this time the crush was terr ie. Sp'oct ators crowded down the stairways from the galleries, the crowd on the floor surged toward the rostruIm while despite the strenuous efforts of police and guards the throng without struggled madly to obtain admission. THIE ASSAssIN. The president's assailant in the meantime had been hustled to the rear of the building by exposition gnards where he was held while the building was cleared and later he was turned over to Superintendent Bull, of the Buffalo police depart ment, who took the prisoner to No. 18 police headquarters. As soon as the crowd in the Temple of Music had been dispersed sufficiently the president was removed in the auto mobile ambulance and taken to the exposition hospital, where an exam ination was made. The best medi cat skill was sninmoned and within boat practitioners were at the pa tient's sid1o. EXAMININO Tl WOUND. The pr(saident retained the full ex orciso of h1is facultios until placed on the operating tablo and subjected to an annosthotic. Upon the 1irst ex. aminat ion it way ascertaited that t ho bullet had taken etfect in the right breast just below the nipple, causing a comparatively barmless wound. The other took elfect in Ihe ab(do men, about four ines below the left nipple, four inches to the left of the naval and about on a level with it. Upon arrival at the expositionl hos pital the second bullet wound was probed. The walls of the abdomlen woro opened but the ball was not. lo cated. The incision was hastily closed and after a hasty consulta tion it was decided to retove the pa tient to the home of President ,\iI burn. This was done, the automno bile ambulance being used for tho purposo. Arriving at the iilbur-i residence all persons outside the medical attendants, nurses and the officials innlediately concerned, were excluded and the task of probing for the bullet which had lodged in the abdomen was begun by )r. loswell Parke. W hen the news of tle crime was telephoned to the home of Pres ident M;ilburn where Mrs. McKinley was resting iuiediato stops were taken to spare her the shock of a premature statement of the occur rence before the true condition of the president could be ascertained. Guards wea stloatied and no one was porn ded to aplwoaob the house. ItEMOT53 TO M1Iii1 rN MANSION. When it was (eidel to remove the president to the Wilburn reri dencb the news was b roken to Mrs. McKinley as gently as might be by members of the Milburn family. She bore the shock remarkably well and displayed the utmost fortitudo. At 8:30 the representative of the Associated Press was admitted to the Milburn mansion where Secro tary Cortelyou gave him the official bulletin prepared by the physicians. A TELE(il(APH1 OFFICE. Secretary Cortolyou said that a telegraph office would be established at once in the Milburn office and bulletins giving the public the fil lost information possible would bo issued at short intervals. At the Milburn houso were Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, President Mil burn, Director General Buchanan of the P.an-American exposition; Dr. Rixey and1 Secretary Cortelyou. Tel ograms p)oured in b)y the hundrods and Secretary Cortolyou w~as kept busy replying to them. Two steno graphoers with their t.ypewriters were placed in the p)arlor which was quickly transformed into a bristling room. While the wounded presidlent wvas being borne from the exposition to the Milburn residence between rows of on lookers with bared heads a far different spectacle was being wit nessed along the route of his as sailants journey from the scene of his crime to police headquarters. The trip was madie so qurickly that thne prrsoner was safely landed with in the wide portals of the police station and the doors closed before any one was aware of his presence. The news of the attempted as sasination had in the meanwhile spread broadcast b)y tho newspapers. Like wildfire it spread1 from mouth to mouth. Then bulletins began to appear on the boards along news paper routes and when t.he anounce mont was made tht~ the prisoner had been taken to pollee heoadqurart era, only two blocks distant fromi the newwpaper section, the crowvds surged dlown toward the terrace eager for a glimpse of the prisoner. At police headquarters they woro met by a strong cordoen of police, which was drawn upl across the pv vo ment on Pearl street arnd admittance was denied to any but officials au thoriz,ed to take part ini tire exami nation of the prisoner. In a few minutes the crowd had grown from tens to hundreds and these in tuna qniclyeele1d to manity.
