ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 6. When Informed of the assassination of the President, Gov ernor Allen R. Candler said: "I 6erved with the President In Congress six year?, lie is one of God's noblemen. Jlo is a clean man, an honest man and a great man. A federal soldier yet all Con lederate soldiers respected and honored him. His assassination is appalling, and his death would be a world-wide calamity. He Is a brave man, a man of rare moral courage. lie has always been brave enough to speak what he believed to be the truth. He has, too, had that rare cour age to abandon error when he has discov ered that he has fallen into it. He has done more to bridge the bloody chasm be tween the sections than any man since Lee and his veterans surrendered. He was wise enough to know at the begin ning of the war with Spain that the South ern people are as true to the Republic as the people of his own State, and he trusted them to the same extent, knowing that the national honor is as safe In their hands. "God grant that he may be spared for the sake of our country and for the sake of republican institutions and human liberty throughout th world." MR. STBVD.X30X. Tht Former Vie Frealdent Thinks the Aiiaiiia la a Madman. BLOOMINGTON. 111.. 8ept. 6.-Former .Vice President Adlal E. Stevenson to-night ilctated the following statement: The attempted assassination of Presi dent McKinley is Indeed appalling. It is too horrible for belief. The news will bring grief unspeakable to the hearts of all his countrymen. I have known Presi dent McKinley for many years and served with him In Congress twenty-tive years ago. He Is a gentleman of the kindliest feeling and could have had no personal enemy. The assassin is probably a mad man." LAUGHED AT WARNINGS. Fresldent McKinley Disregarded Mr. Griggs's Repeated Advice. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Former Attorney General Griggs In discussing at Faterson, N. J., the shooting of President McKinley tald: "I warned him against this very thing time and time again. 1 asked him for tho country's sake if not for his own to have a body guard when he went out. He re fused, lie laughed at me. He insisted that the American people were too intelligent and too loyal to their country to do any harm to their chief executive. He had supreme confidence In the people. riTTSBLRG WAS IN GLOOM. Jfnc Who Hurrahed for the Anarchist Promptly Knocked Down. riTTSBURG, Sept. 6. Seldom ha3 Titts burg been so profoundly affected as it was to-night at the news of the Buffalo tragedy. It took some time to convince the people that the report was not hoax. When the. truth finally rnade itself felt the gloom cast over all classes was shown in a marked degree. Very soon the bulletin boards were surrounded by silently anxious crowds that completely blocked the streets and almost stopped street-car traffic. in front of one of the bulletin boards an unknown man yelled. "Hurrah for the man who shot McKinley." In an instant he was knocked down, and with a hundred men trying to kick him he was in a fair way to bo killed. He managed to get through the crowd and ran ut Diamond alley with a mob at his heels. In dsrcration he made a dash for a passing trolley car and hung on until the conductor dragged him inside. Th reassuring bulletin received at 10:10 relieved . the. tension of the people on tho street, and by. midnight the city has re sumed its normal condition. CARDINAL GIRIIOSS SORROW. Warm Trlbnte from the Arrhprrlatr of the American Catholic C'hnrcli. BALTIMORE. Sept. 6. The news of the attempted assassination of the President did not reach Cardinal Gibbons until nearly 7 o'clock In the eyning. Soon after h heard it a representative of the Associated Press called upon him In hU .study. His Eminence, as the i.itor entered, raised his hand and exclaimed: " l.oe, fmni tin1 bottom of my heart, vir. tint you bring b' soine httr news tliii that wine's I have heard." I'poii being informed that ;ie condition of lit1 President was Mill rry grave the Cardinal sank into hi rhiir and Slid : "It is sad. ludet-!, that an in--ii' fanitlc can have It in hi po-. r lo ii: n grr the life .f the bend of f. t'.rf.i t Nith.n !k- hl-. and a man p".--.siriv f!i- many virtues ,,f President M'Ktnle;.. Th-. man who dij it nalVATE r AGENTS FOR BUTTEKICK PATTLRfiS ,.. $2.29 GOODS CO must be a madman. The President has no personal enemies, and no one but a mad man would have committed sm-ti a deel. If. however, he has a spark of reason left, and it can be shown that he Is responsible, no punishment would be too great for him." After a moment's hesitation the cardinal resumed: "I am filled with sadness be yond expression at receiving this news." said he, "I not only honor President Mc Kinley as the head of a great nation, but I havo the privilege' of regarding him as a friend and am indebted to him for many favors. It Is my earnest rrayer that the Lord may spare him to fill out the term he has begun so well " ILLINOIS WAS PREMATURE. Flags Lowered to Half-Mast and Mes sages of Condolence Sent.

I have al ready telegraphed the sympathy of myself and Mrs. Alger to Secretary Cortelyou." General Alger plainly showed in his face and manner how keenly he felt the shock. T. C. Piatt's Comment. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Senator Thomas C. Piatt said, with reference to the shooting of President McKinley: "It is appalling. It does not seem pos sible that any man could do such a thing. That man was an Anarchist. He was not crazy. There was too much method in the way he did the act. 1 advocate a drum head court-martial and that the man be taken off at once.

Governor Sayers said of the attempted assassination of President McKinley: "His excellent personal character en titles him to the most complete protection whereever he may go, and it should not be expected or required of the chief magis trate of this Republic, when mingling with the people, that he should be accompanied by armed guards and secret detectives in order to be secure from personal danger and Injury.

The foreign ministers have accepted the imperial edkt? and have arranee! to sign the peace protocol to-morrow. Ormnn Vletr of the Delay. LONDON. Sept. fi.The Berlin corre spondent of the Times says preat surprise is felt there that the semi-official press has not thought It necessary to give an ac count of the negotiations at Bisel from the German point of view. All lh information ab-ut them has come from Chinese sources. The German mildster at Peking sticks to the asr-ertion thit the delay was cau.-ed by the fact that the protocol was rot signed. Similar statements are made by the Ber liner Neueste Nachrichten and other well informed journals. It would be interesting, therefore, to know why the Emperor gave way on this important point. Custom Clause of Protocol. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. The State De partment has received a telegram from Mr. Conger, stating that the protocol with China provides that all duties on Imports ad valorem shall be converted, as soon as possible, into specific duties.

The British community strongly objects. DEED OF AN ANARCHIST. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) forward, as with one impulse, and sprang toward the would-be assassin. Two of them were United States secret-service men, who were on the lookout and whose duty it was to guard against Just such a calamity as had befallen the President and the Na tion. The third was a bystander, a negro, who had only an instant previously grasped the hand of the President. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the President's assailant. 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 realizing sense of the awfulness of the scene of which they had been unwilling witnesses. A mur mur arose, spread and swelled to a hum of confusion, then grew to a babel of sounds and later to a pandemonium of noises. The crowds that a moment before had stood mute and motionless as In be wildered ignorance of the enormity of the thing now with a single impulse surged forward, while a hoarse cry welled up from a thousand throats and a thousand men charged forward 'o lay hands upon the perpetrator of the crime. ( STAMPEDE FEARED. For a moment the confusion was terrible. The crowd surged forward regardless of consequences. Some of those nearest the doors fled from the edifice In fear of a stampede, while hundreds of others from the outside struggled blindlj' forward in th effort to r?netrate the crowded .build ing and solve the mystery. Inside on the slightly raised dais was enacted within those few 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 really IId transpire. Pre?ldent McKinley after the first shock of the assassin's shot retreated a step, then as the detectives leaped upon his assailant he turned, walked steadily to a chair and seated himself, at the same time removing his hat and bowing his head in his hands. In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at his side. His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, the Presi dent meanwhile admonishing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to b? alarmed. "But you are wounded." cried his secre tary, "let me examine." "No. I think not." answered the Presi- ! dent. "I am not badly hurt, I assure you." Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loosened, and when a trickling stream of iimsm was seen to wind its way down his breast, spreading its stain over (he white surface of the linen, their worst fears were confirmed. A force of exposition guar.ls was quickly on the scene by this time, and an effort was made to clear th" building. Spectators crowded down the stairways from the gal-'-r5es and the crowd em the floor surged forward toward the rntnini while, ,!e spite th" strenuous efforts of the police and Kinrd? the throng without struggled madly to obtain admission. HUSTLED TO THE STATION. The President's assailant in th" turr.n time had len hustlsd to the re.ir of the b illding by eipo'it'cn guardr. where he i v.as held while the hi-.ilding was cleared. ani later he was turned over to Superin tendent Bull, of the Buffalo police depnrt ment, who 1ok the ;ri---n'sr to No. 13 po lice station and afterward to police head quarters. As soon n the crowd in the Temple of Music had bcn dispersed th" President was removed in the automobile ambulance nnd taken to the exposition hospital, whie an examination was made. The best med ical skill was summone.!, and within a brief period a number ef Buffalo's best-known I practitioners were at the patient's side. Th" President retained the fall cxercirc of his faculties until placed on the operat ing table and subjected to an anaesthetic. I'pou tht" first examination it was ascer taineil that one bullet had taken effcet in the risht breast jint below the nipple, catling a comparatively harmless wound. The other took effect in the abdomen about four inches below tl.e left nipple, four inches to the left of the r.a'.e! asA .'.bout on a level with it. Upon arrival at the exposition hospital the second bullet was probe! for. The walls ef the abdomen were opened but the ball was not locatel. The incision was hastily closed, and after a hurried con sultation it was decided to remove the ratient to the home of President Milburn. This was done, the automobile ambulance being used for the purpose. Arriving at the Milburn residence all per sons outside the medical attendants, nurses and officials immediately concerned were excluded and the task of probing for the bullet which had lodged in the abdomen was begun by Dr. Ro.iwell E. Parke. MRS. M KINLEY INFORMED. When the news of the crime was tele phoned to the home of President Milburn, where Mn McKinley was resting, im mediate steps were taken to spare her the shock of a premature statement of the occurrence before the true condition should be ascertained. Guards were stationed and no one was permitted to approach the house. When it was decided to remove the President from the exposition hospital to the Milburn residence the news was brok en to Mrs. McKinley as gently as possible. She bore the shock remarkably well and displayed the utmost fortitude. At K:30 the Associated Press representa tive was admitted to the Milburn mansion where Secretary Cortelyou save him the official bulletin prepared by the physicians, and which 13 printed elsewhere. Secretary Cortelyou said that a telegraph office would be established at once in the Milburn .residence and bulletins giving the public the fullest information possible would be issued at short intervals. At the Milburn house were Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, President Milburn, Di rector General Buchanan, of the Pan American exposition. Dr. Rlxey and Sec retary Cortelyou. Telegrams poured in by the hundreds and Secretary Cortelyou was kept busy replying to them. Two stenog raphers with their typewriters were placed in the parlor, which was quickly trans formed into a bustling room. Nothing Given Ont at .t A. M. BUFFALO, Sept. 7. Long after midnight crowd3 were walking the streets eagerly inquiring for information, or loitering about the newspaper bulletin boards in the hope of additional news. The deepest feeling over the outrage was everywhere apparent, and people of all classes, without distinc tion of political partisanship, were unani mous in their expressions of abhorrence of the cowardly crime. The latest news ob tainable at police headquarters was that the district attorney was still closeted with the prisoner, while mounted police patrolled the district roped off from the public. Inquiries at the home of President Mil burn at 3 a. m. were fruitless. The street in the immediate vicinity of the house where the President lies is roped off and guarded by police, who will admit nobody. It was announced earlier in the evening that official bulletins would be issued at regular intervals, and on these the public must wait, as the physicians and officials refuse absolutely to give out any informa tion. At 3 a. m. the street in the neighbor hood of the Milburn residence was de serted, save for the policemen who were on guard, and the streets down town were almost equally quiet. nilOKK THE NEWS GENTLY. Dr. Rliey Informell Mr. McKinley, Who nore I p Ilrnvely. BUFFALO. Sept. Immediately after the President had been cared for at the exposition grounds Director General W. I. Buchanan started for the Jlllburn residence to forestall any information that might reach there by telephone or otherwise. Luckily he was first to arrive with the information. The Niagara Falls trip had tired Mrs. McKinley, and as soon as she returned to the Milburn rsidenee she went to her room to rest. Mr. Buchanan broke the news as gently as possible to the nieces and consulted with them and Mrs. Milburn as to the best course to pur sue in breaking the news to Mrs. McKinley. It was then tinnlly decided that -on her awakening, or shortly thereafter. Mr. Bu chanan should break the news to her if in th" meantime her physician.

It was learned to-night rom an authori tative source that the greatest precautions had been taken to guard against the possi bility of any such eceurrerje as transpired to-day. Not only were Gv services of the local police and detective forces employed to the fullest extent, but specially detailed men have accompanied ihe presidential s party in its travels since Inauguration day, and, in addition to this, tl!e extra precau tion was taken upon the occasion of the President's visit to the Pan-American of having three United States treasury secret service men of long experience and proven ability. In fact, to such ai extent has this matter of the President's 'personal safety been carried by those Vcsponsible for his welfare that It his given rise to some criticism. Upon his visit to the exposition it was feit by those sur rounding him that the Irefident was liable to greater chances of danger than is usual even upon his travels, owing to the great crowds, the diversified charaeter of the peeple assembled and lh; necessity for direct contact with the crowds. For these reasons the strictest precautions nboy mentioned were resorted to. The President himself has always been averse to anj' such protection and the sight cf oflicers of the law constantly near his person has been distasteful. He has always Insisted that In all his visits to various cities there should be at least one public reception where he could be brought face to face with the public and give those wdio de hired it the privilege of a personal meet ing. m FORMER ATTEMPT MADE.
