Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 13. President McKinley began to sink shortly after 2 o'clock this morning after a critical period of 12 hours, in which alarm and hope mingled in the emotions of those who surrounded him. Shortly after 2 o'clock the physi? cians and nurses detected a weakening of the heart action. The pulse flutter? ed and weakened, and the president sank toward collapse. The end ap? peared to be at hand. Restoratives were speedily applied, and the physi? cians fought the battle with all the re? serve forces of science. Action was immediate and decisive. Digitalis and strychnine were administered, and, as a last resort, saline solution was injected into the veins. A general alarm went speeding to the consulting physicians and trained nurses as fast as messengers, the tele? graph and telephone could carry it. The restoratives did not at once prove effective, and it was realized that the president was in an extremely critical condition. That realization, with the shadow of death behind it, led to an? other cali, and that, a summons to the cabinet, relatives and close personal friends of the president. The messen? gers who returned with the doctors and nurses were hurried off after those within reach, and to those who were absent from the city, messages convey? ing the painful tidings were quickly transmitted by telegraph. The scene about the house and in the storm swept street was dramatic in its action and setting, and the spirit of the tragedy was on those who looked upon it. A messenger who darted out into the rain, and was whisked away in an electric cab, gave the outside watchers the first intimation of the ill news from within. As the telegraph instruments rattled away with their forlorn story this morning, the hastily aroused physi? cians began arriving. An automobile, racing at top speed, brought Dr. Myn ter first. He did not stop to speak, but rushed into the house. Dr. Mann came almost on his heels, and he too ran down the street. Neither stopped for a word as they rushed into the house. After them came Abner Mc? Kinley, pale and agitated. He had left the house scarcely two hours be? fore, and had departed with the assu? rance that the tide had turned in the case of his distinguished brother. He had been aroused from slumber by a messenger who told him to come at once. Secretary Wilson and Secretary Hitchcock, in grief at the peril of their chief, arrived within a few moments. Neither knew the true state of the president at that moment, and in silent fear they quickly entered the house. Another hurrying visitor was Dr. Wasdin, whose arrival completed the circle of physicians: and another was Mrs. Mcwilliams, the friend of Mrs. McKinley. WHOLE CITY WAS AROUSED. The Buffalo papers all had extras with the sad intelligence of the presi? dent's relapse on the streets at day? light. One paper announced that the president was dyin?r. The result was that the whole city was thoroughly aroused and alarmed early, and before 7 o'clock crowds of people flocked in the direction of the Milburn residence to learn if the latest news was not more reassuring. They stood at the ropes, far down the intersecting streets, and waited patiently for the appearance of the morning bulletin. Many of them refused to credit the news of the president's sudden change for the worse until they had learned by word of mouth from the sentries of the president's dangerous and crit? ical condition. Of all the sad household, only the wife did not know the truth She surmised that Mr. McKinley was worse, for she was told this morning it would be better for her not to enter the sick chamber. She assented, but it was with a look of mute appeal in her eyes. The president himself seemed to realize that his life hung by a thread. ! This morning he looked ont of the window. When the nurse sought to adjust the pillow to keep out the light, he murmured a feeble protest. "It is so beautiful," said he: "the trees are so beautiful. I want to see them." W. W. Johnson of Washington and Dr. Janeway of New York, two of the most eminent heart specialists in the United States, were summoned to lend their skill and counsel, and Dr. McBurney, the noted surgeon, who left yesterday", was recalled. Vice Presi? dent Roosevelt and the absent members of the cabinet were also telegraphed for. DESPERATE RESOURCE ADOPT? ED. When the sinking spell occurred about 2 o'clock this morning it was feared Mr. McKinley might expire at any moment, as he did not respond to ordinary stimulants. It was only when recourse was had to the desperate re? source of injecting saline solution, which saved Mrs. McKinley's life in San Francicso, into his veins that the circulation grew stronger, and after an hour he rallied somewhat. His pulse at one time aws almost 140.* But the slight rally came, and returning hope with it. With the fresh energies of daylight, the presi? dent appeared "perceptibly strong? er, and the physicians announced in their 9 o'clock bulletin that his condition was improved. The pulse had fallen several points from the highest, and they affirmed the exist? ence of hope. The physicins began to arrive for the morning consultation at 8:15. The new detail of soldiers for guard duty for today arrived from Fort Por? ter a few minutes later. The guard was changed, and the sentries posted for the day. A 9.30 o'clock the scene about the Milburn residence was one that will live in the memory of those who wit? nessed it, as long as life lasts. Down the streets, in every direction, people were massed, hundreds deep; while at the corner where the headquarters of the press are located, correspon? dents of all the leading journals of the world were waiting, ready to flash the first news as far as the wires reach; while within the tents, the busy tele? graph instruments were clicking off the sad intelligence. In front of the residence, the blue-coated soldiers paced, with arms at right shoulder. All were waiting, waiting almost breatlessly, for the news. The doctors finished their consulta? tion at 9:40. They left the house to? gether, and stopped for a few mi untes on the lawn to convey their verdict first to the president's brother. Chaplain Sykes of the navy, in his black vestments, who had come to in? quire after the president's health, lift? ed his hat as the men upon whom the president's life depended passed Him. The physicians looked serious as they walked away from the residence. The bulletin, when issued, was slightly reassuring and indicated that the crisis might be prolonged, stating definitely that the president's condi? tion had* somewhat improved during the past few hours, but that there was better response to stimulation: but his pulse was up to 128, and the conviction grew that it was almost a forlorn hope. The physicians decided that it would not "be well for Mrs. McKinley to enter the sick room today, both on account of her feeble health and the excitement it might cause the presi? dent. FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AR? RIVE. Shortly after 10 o'clock, the inti? mate friends and relatives of the presi? dent who were telegraphed for began to arrive, and soon after 10 o'clock there were assembled in the downstairs room of the Milburn house Senators Hanna and Fairbanks, ex-Secret?ry of State Day, Secretary Wilson and Sec? retary Hitchcock, Mr. and Mrs. Her? mann Baer, Abner McKinley, Miss McKinley and Mrs. J. T. Duncan, sis? ters of , the president, and Mrs. Lafayette Mcwilliams, in additioon to John G. Milburn, Former Postmaster General Bissell, John N. Scatherd of Buffalo ?and Representative Alexander of the Buffalo district. Senator Hanna came on a special train from Cleveland, making the run in the remarkably fast time of three hours. He was accompanied by Mrs. Hanna, Col. Myron T. Herrick, Miss Barber and a few other friends of the president. He received the news at 4 o'clock this morning, and immediately ordered a special train. HEART SPECIALISTS WANTED. Toward 1 o'clock the Associated Press was definitely informed that the physicians believed if the president could be carried through the night there would be hope of his recovery. The administration of nourishment had been practically discontinued, as the rectum was much irritated and did not retain the enemas. THE LAST FAREWELLS. Before 6 o'clock it was clear to those at the president's bedside that he was dying, and preparations were made for the last sad offices of farewell from those who were nearest and dear? est to him. Oxygen had been admin? istered [steadily, but with lit th- effect in keeping back the approach of death. The president came out of one period of unconsciousness only to re? lapse into another. Butin this period, when his mind was partially clear, occurred a'series of events of profound- j ly touching character. Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained faces, members of the cabinet were grouped in anxious waiting. They knew the end was near, and that the time had come when they must see him for the last time on earth. This was about o'clock. One by one they ascended the stairway- Secre? tary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox. Secretary Wilson was also there, but held back, not wishing to see the president in his last agony. There was only a mo? mentary stay of the cabinet officers at the threshhold of the death chamber. Then they withdrew, the tears stream? ing down their faces, and words of i intense grief choking their throats. CALLED HIS DEVOTED WIFE. After they left the sick room, the physicians rallied him to conscious? ness, and the president asked almost immediately that his wife be brought to him. The doctors fell back into the shadows of the room as Mrs. Mc? Kinley came through the doorway. The strong face of the dying man lighted up with a faint smile as their hands were clasped. She sat beside him and held his hand. Despite her physical weakness, she bore up brave? ly under the ordeal. The president, in his last period of consciousness, which ended about 7.40 p. m., chanted the words of the hymn, 4 ' Nearer My God to Thee, ' ' and his last audible conscious words, as taken down by Dr. Mann at the bedside, were: "GOD'S WILL BE DONE!" "Good-bye ali, good-bye: it is God's way: His will be done." Then his mind began to wander, and soon after? wards he completely lost conscious? ness. His life was prolonged for hours by the administration of oxygen, and the president finally expressed a desire to be allowed to die. About 8.30 the administering of oxygen ceased, and the pulse grew fainter and faint?r. He was sinking gradually, like a child. into the eternal slumber. By 10 o'clock the pulse could no longer be felt in his extremities, and they grew cold. Below stairs the grief-stricken gathering waited sadly for the end. Dr. Mynter thought he might last until 2 a.m. Dr. Mann said at ll o'clock that the president was still alive, and probably would live an hour. Thus minutes lengthened to hours, and midnight came with the president still battling against death. At the midnight hour the Milburn house was the centre of a scene ani? mated as though it were midday, al? though a solemn hush hung over the great crowd of watchers. The entire lower part of the house was aglow with light, and the many attendants, friends and relatives could be seen within, moving about, and occasional? ly coming in groups to the front door? way for a breath of air. Secretary Root and Secretary Wilson came from the house about midnight and paced up and down the sidewalk. All that Secretary Root said was: "The night has not come yet." Despite the fact that vitality con? tinued to ebb as midnight approached, no efforts were spared to keep the spark of life glowing. Dr. Janeway, of New York, arrived at the Buffalo depot at 11.40 o'clock. George Urban was waiting for him, and they drove at a break-neck pace to the Milburn house. He was shown to the president's room at once, and began an examination of the almost inanimate form. Secretary of the Navy Long arrived at the Milburn house at 12.06 o'clock. This was his first visit to the city, and he had the extreme satisfaction of seeing the president alive, even though he was not conscious of his visitors' presence. Secretary Long was visibly affected. Buffalo, September 14.-2.30 a. m. The announcement of the death to the members of the Cabinet was made by Webb Hayes, who said: "It is all over. ' ' Mrs. McKinley last saw her hus? band between ll and 12 o'clock. At that time she sat by the bedside hold? ing his hand. The members of the cabinet, were admitted to the sick room singly at that time, j The actual death probably occurred about 2 o'clock, it being understood that Dr. Rixey delayed the announce? ment momentarily to assure himself. The announcement of the news to those waiting below was postponed until the members of the family had withdrawn. THE FUNERAL. Special to The Dai Iv Item. Buffalo. Sept. ?4, 2 p. m.-Mrs. McKinley's fortitude surprises every one. Private funeral services will be held at the Milburn House tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock. The funeral train will leave Buffalo for Washing? ton at S.30 Monday morning via Har? risburg, Pennsylvania Railway. Buffalo, Sept. 14.-State pathologist Gaylord performed autopsy on the body of the dead president. All of the at? tending physicians were present. The result will be made public this after? noon. Keen interest is shown as to what the autopsy will reveal. Details of the funeral are being ar? ranged by the family. It now appears very doubtful if Mrs. McKinley will be able tc accompany the cortege. The president's face appears peace? ful. No trace of suffering. Absolute quiet prevails around the house. ROOSEVELT SWORN IN. New York, Sept. 14, 4 p. m.-Vice President Roosevelt was sworn in late this afternoon at the home of his friend, Ansley Wilcox. The doctors have prepared a detailed statement of the autopsy. Czologoz's case will go to the grand jury on Monday and the trial will be begun on the twenty-third instant. President William McKinley. The Story of His Last Days as Told in the Daily Dispatches. Buffalo, Sept. 10. Th?* corps of eminent surgeons and physicians in attendance upon the wounded presi? dent t??day committed themselves with? out reservation to the opinion that their patient was out of danger and that there were no complications threatening his life. They did not give assurance of his recovery collec? tively over their signatures in an offi? cial bulletin, but they went a long way toward it individually and separate? ly during the day. Each of them, with the exception of Dr. Rixey, who did not leave the Milburn residence, plac? ed himself squarely on record, not pri? vately to the friends of the president, but publicly through the agency of the press, that the danger point had passed and that the president would survive the attempt npon his life. "Of course we will all feel easier when a week has passed," said Dr. Mc? Burney, the dean of the corps. "We would like to see every door locked and double locked, but the danger from possible complications is now very remote. ' ' As an evidence of the supreme faith he holds, Dr. McBurney after the morning consultaion, made a trip to Niagara Falls and this evening return? ed to New York. He could reach here again in ten hours if the unexpected should happen and there should be a change for the worse. The little piece of lead in the muscles of the back is giving the physicians no concern whatever. Unless it should prove troublesome to the president later on he will probably carry this grim souv? enir of the anarchist with him to the end of his days. The doctors say that once encysted it 2an do no harm. The X-ray ma? chine is ready for instant use, how? ever, and if there is the slightest in? flammation or pain in the vicinity of the bullet an operation will be per? formed. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. H.-The con? dition of the president continued fa? vorable throughout the day and noth? ing occurred to shake the faith the at? tending surgeons and physicians have expressed that he will recover. The danger from two sources was pronounc? ed practically over today. The holes in the stomach proper, caused by the per? foration of the bullet, are now con? sidered healed by Dr. McBurney and his associates and the eminent surgeon pointed to the fact that the beef juice, fed to the patient last night was read? ily digested, as proof of this. Suffi? cient time has also elapsed to warrant the doctors in asserting that the dan? ger of inflammation where the bullet lodged has disappeared. It is believed that the ball has now become encysted in the muscles of the back and unless its location should prove troublesome later on there will never be any neces? sity for removing it. Dr. Mann, in speaking in regard to this, today said he knew a man who lived for years with a bullet in the muscles of his heart. The attention of the physicians is now, therefore, mainly directed to the care and treatment of the wound caused by the incision made in the abdomen above the navel when the operation was performed. This wound is progressing satisfactorily. "Decided benefit followed the dress? ing of the wound last night" is the way the doctors put it officially. The slight scare which followed the an? nouncement at midnight last night of the opening of the wound did not have a leg to stand on today when fuller details of its insignificant character were obtained. The "Incident." as it is temied would not have been men? tioned in the history of an ordinary hospital case and the physicians last night debated for some time upon the propriety of making it public. As they had promised to take the public into their confidence they finally con? cluded that the redemption of that pledge compelled them to announce it. Their frankness has already had one excellent effect. It has convinced all who may still have harbored doubts as to whether the public were getting the whole truth from the sick room that their skepticsm was unfounded. An? other milestone passed on the road to recovery was the discontinuance today by the doctors of the figures showing respiration variations in their official bulletins. The president now breathes deeply and normally and the addition of the respiration was considered valueless in the bulletins. The president's pulse was slightly accelerated in the after? noon but the change was not deemed material and his temperature remained practically stationary at 102 from day? light until dark. The evidence of im? provement were the president's keen relish of the beef juice given him dur? ing the night and the increase in his allowance from one to three teaspoon? fuls and also the fact that the wound is becoming "more healthy." Dr. McBurney explained this after? noon that the slight irritation of the wound still remaining should pass away r,he next 24 hours. Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 12.-For the first time there was a bad strain in the news from the President's bedside today. Possibly the alarm it caused was exaggerated, but that genuine apprehension existed there can be no question. Tomorrow morning will probably show what complication has arisen. Food given to the president this morning has not been properly assimilated and passed and the administration of food by the mouth has been discontinued. The president continued to complain of the fatigue, noted by the official bulletin in the afternoon. His pulse increased to 128. This is considered entirely too high for his temperature. One of the consulting physicians said that judged by medical records his pulse should be ?t?. The accelera? tion of the pulse was attributed part? ly to the revulsion of the stomach against the food and Dr. Mann pri? vately assured Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson, the president's brother, Aimer McKinley, and others assem? bled below stairs in the Milburn house tonight that the undigested food would probably pass away during the night and that thc president would be better in the morning. The doctors held their evening consultaion earlier than usual rind they frankly annonunced in their official bulletin at S.30 that the president's condition was not so good. They ave standing firmly by their resolution and promise to keep the public fully advised of the true state of affairs iii the sick room. Doctors Wasdin. Stockton and Rixey remained in the sick room throughout the night and those who left after the early evening consultation contrary to their usual custom, slipped away to the side entrance. This in itself was consider? ed significant, to say the least, by the little army of newspaper men. Here? tofore they have not failed to give ver 1 bal interpretation of the official bul? letins to the newspaper men. Dr. Stockton, a local surgeon practitioner with a high reputation was called in for the first time tonight, it beins: ex? plained that the complication that had ? arisen was one with which a physician and not a surgeon would have to deal. Secretaries Wilson and Hitchcock, who were at the Milburn residence until ll o'clock, said when they departed that there was no cause for alarm, that ! the trouble was in the stomach and not in the wound and they believed the president's condition would be im? proved in the morning. Drs. Wasdin, Rixey and Stockton remained at the Milburn house during the night and were constantly in the j room of the president. For hours the president failed to respond to the treatment to which he was subjected to relieve him of the difficulty occa? sioned by the failure of the organs of digestion and assimilation. The non success of the treatment added to the depression that existed but just at midnight the relief so much desired came and he had two operations of the bowels within a few minutes. This gave great encouragement and changed the character of the bulletin which the physicians were even then prepar? ing. In it they announced that all fa? vorable symptoms had improved since the last bulletin. The decreased rapidity of the nuise from 128 to 120 which followed" the bowel movement was also exceedingly gratifying. j The physicians are really alarmed about the president's heart. The ac ! tion of the bowels was produced by the action of the calomel and oil. Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. 13, 2:58 a. m.-President McKinley ex? perienced a sinking spell shortly after 2 o'colck. The physicians are admin? istering restoratives to him with the hope of reviving him. A general call has gone out to the physicians and the members of the cabinet now in the city. Milburn House, Sept. 13, 3:25 a. m. -The president is so weak that he does not apparently suffer much. Strychnine, digitalis "and other power? ful heart stimulants don't produce effect and the worst is feared. His death might occur any time from heart exhaustion. Mrs. McKinley has not yet been informed of the change for the worse. Milburn House, Sept. 13,-Drs. Mann and Mynter left the honse at 4 o'clcok. The latter said : "The president is in better condi? tion than he was an hour ago. We have not given up hope. He has ral? lied somewhat and we are going home." RALLIED AT 5.30 O'CLOCK Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 13, 6.30 a. m. -Physicians worked over the presi? dent up to an hour ago. Heart re? sponded to powerful stimulants and he rallied slowly. He is now sleeping from exhaustion. Extreme danger is ended for the present. MCKINLEY VERY LOW. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 13, 9 a. m. The president's condition at this hour causes grave apprehension. He is very low. EMMA GOLDMAN ARRESTED? She is Accused With Others of Having Planned President's Assassination. Chicago, Sept. IO.--Emma Gold? man, the anarchist queen, under whose red banner Leon Czologocz claims he stands, whose words, he claims, fired his heart and his brain to attempt the assassination of the president, was ar? rested here shortly before noon today. She disclaimed all but the slightest acquaintance with the president's as? sailant : she denied absolutely that she or anarchists she knew were implicated in any plot to kill the president. She said she believed Czologocz acted en? tirely on his own responsibility, and that" he never claimed to have been inspired by her, as he is quoted as affirming. The president, she averred, with a yawn, was an insignificant being to her, a mere human atom whose lifeor i death were matters of supreme in ! difference to her or to any anarchist. Czolgosc's act was foolish, yet she declared it probably had its inspira? tion in the misery which the Pole had seen about him. Violence, she said, was not a tenet in the faith of "che anarchist, and she has not advocated it in Cleveland, where Czolgocz has said he heard her, not elsewhere. CZOLGOCZ'S PUNISHMENT. Washington, Sep. 10.-Attorney Gen? eral Knox returned today and almost immediately sent for Solicitor General Richards, with whom he had an hour's conference on the subject of the possi? bility of reaching Czolgosz under the Federal laws. Sections 5,508 and 5,009 of the revised statutes were care? fully ??one over, and the conclusion was reached that if a conspiracy could be shown these two sections might be made to apply. The only advantage, however, that would be gained would be in the length of the term of impri? sonment that Czolgocz might be made to serve Under these sections ten years imprisonment is the maximum Term, but no time allowance can be made for good behavior as in the state of New York. Makes the food more deli _ ROYAL BAKtNO PCWDEf Emma Goldman Held Without Bail. The Hearing of Her Case Post? poned for a Week. Chicago, Sept. H.-Magistrate Prin diville today decided that Emma Gold? man, the anarchistic lecturer under ar? rest here should be held without bail until Friday pending the decision of similar cases in the superior court. Miss Goldman appeared for a hear? ing before the magistrate during the forenoon. She had not secured coun? sel but in a determined voice deeciared that she was ready to act as her own. attorney. The assistant city prosecu? tor, however, obtained a continuance of the hearing till Sept. 19, the date set for the hearing of other anarchists in custody here, 2&r. Owens, the pros? ecutor, stated that the result of an in? vestigation at Buffalo was being awaited. The court postponed its decision in the matter of bail, which Miss Gold? man demanded the privilege of fur? nishing, until later in the day. While waiting, Judge Chetlain in the superior court held the other anar? chists until Friday when he said he would hear arguments in the applica? tion for writs of habeas corpus. As the charge against Miss Goldman, '.conspiracy to murder President Mc? Kinley," is the one lodged against the local anarchists who are named as conspirators with Miss Goldman, Magistrate Prindiville thought it wise to await the decision of the higher court. He said it would not be necessary for counsel to apply for a writ for Miss Goldman, as he would deal exact? ly with Miss Goldman as Judge Chet? lain had with the other prisionera. McSWEENEY'S TRIBUTE. Columbia, Septmeber 14.-Governor McSweeney, as soon as he heard of the death of President McKinley, sent the following telegram to Mrs. McKinley at Buffalo : " On behalf of the people of South Carolina I extend to you my heartfelt sympathies in your irreparable loss. The death of your distinguished hus? band is keenly felt by all of our peo? ple. His Administration has undoubt eldy given satisfaction to the Southern people, and we all join with the citi? zens of the whole nation in express? ing our grief." Governor McSweeney wishes to make the suggestion that at noon to? morrow all city bells toll, for a period, in respect to the President, and that the flags on all public buildings, Court Houses, schools, etc., be plac? ed at half-mast, to testify to the fact that the people of this State feel and deplore the loss of the President of tiie country. A Two Thousand Dollar Prize. Our townsman, Mr. J. Thos. Austin, has been awarded ^ the first prize of S2,000 in the guessing contest given by the Atlanta Weekly Constitution, which closed August" 24th. Mr. Aus? tin's guess was sent in May 30th, and came nearest the correct number. The contest was a guess at the offi? cial estimate to be made by Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans cotton ex? change, on the cotton crop of 1900-01. This report was announced last week and the estimated number of bales was 10,383,422, Mr. Austin's guess being 10.383,416, or within six bales of Mr. Hester's estimate. The second nearest guess came within twenty bales, and the third within forty-two of the es? timated number.-Greenville Moun? taineer. The Name of the Assassin. Since the attempted assassination of President McKinley every newspaper reader in this country has been trying to learn the proper pronunciation of the surname of Leon Czolgosz, the man who shot him. Many will recall that there was a similar interest and the same difficulty in pronouncing the name of Guiteau, who assassinated President Garfield. Mr. William M. Doyas, official inter? preter of Polish and Bohemian lan? guages in the United States immigra? tion office at Baltimore, and himself a Pole by birth, says that the would be assassin's name should be pronounc? ed "Choalgosh." "The word is derived from a Polish verb," said Mr. Doyas, "which means to drag or creep or crawl. Used as a noun, it means a cieeping, crawling thing, such as a snake. In the present instance the name seems most appro? priate. "^^^^ Tarred and Feathered. Casper, Wyoming, September IL Hans Wagner, who is said to have ex? pressed sympathy with Czolgocz.^ was. today tarred and feathered and ridden; out of town on a rail. Wagner will be*-, lynched if he ventures back. Buffalo, Sept. 10.-Alfonso Stutz,, the German officer held in custody for three days on suspicion of complicity in the attempt on the life of President. McKinley, was released today. He-? says he will demand damages for falser imprisonment. He asked for the Ger? man consul first and then for a German lawyer and said he would sue the authorities for 8100,000. He says he told the truth and produced his credentials when first arrested, but the police refused to believe him. LBAKING POWDER dons andi wholesome t CO., KEW YORK._
