The doctors issued five bulletins between 6 o'clock this morning and «30 o'clock this even ing, and because they showed an absence of un favorable conditions they we*, generally re earded a 9 very hopeful. The record of pulse showed a wide variation during the day, but any alarm occasioned on that score wag minimised *>y a statement from Dr. Rlxey. the President's Physician, that Mr. McKlrleys pulse under normal conditions ssmj inclined to be erratic, and ttat he was not unfavorably Impressed by the circumstance. The physicians were not con cerntd as to the patient's temperature. During the forenoon and well into the afternoon It held at 102 degrees, and then began to Increase slightly. At 3:30 o'clock It vu at 102.2, and three hours later it had risen to 102.5. but even at the latter point It was not viewed -with con cern. The resplr&iion of the wounded President was* looked upon as being quite satisfactory. nOOSEVELT AT THE HOUSE. Vice-President Roosevelt reached the Mllburn residence shortly after 1 o'clock to-day, after travelling continuously since 7 o'clock last night, ¦when he left Burlington, Vt. He was escorted from the station as far as the Hotel Iroquols by a squad of mounted police, and the re- , mainder of the way by a squad of bicycle police. He expressed his deep distress at the tragedy, but beyond that declined to make any state ment. He remained at the house about half an hour, and then went to the home of Alnsley Wil cox. whose guest he will be during his stay. ARRIVAL, OP CABINET MEMBERS. By evening all the members of the Cabinet except Secretary Hay and Secretary Long had arrived. They rime as fast as eteam and steel could carry them. Both the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Navy are expected to morrow. Secretary Wilson and Secretary Root spent moet of the day at the IfUSMira house. All the members of the Cabinet will remain here until the result of the wound Is deter mined. It in probable that after they all arrive | a Cabinet meeting will be held. Informally they i have discussed to-day the possibility of Vice- ! President Roosevelt being called upon to act as Chief Magistrate during the disability of the President. But all precedents are against 6uch a course while the President lives. Arthur did not assume the reins of government until after President Garfield's death, and the contingency of Vice-President Roosevelt being called upon .to serve temporarily, except in the case of un booked for and serious foreign complications, is ' retarded as very remote. A plan to Insure absolute quiet for the Presi dent was put In operation, and the safeguards ere now such that It will be practically inipos tible for him to be disturbed in any way. SECURING PERFECT QUIET. General Brooke, commander of the Depart ment of the East, who eerie here this morning from New- York, assume' 1 personal charge of th* military, and under his orders the picket lines were extended in every direction. Aided by Us) city police, the soldiers roped of? the streets which intersect Delaware -a ye. near tiie Milburn house, and both teams and pedestrians were kept out of the district. The telegraph office established in the Milburn stable was removed to a tent pitched on a lawn on the opposite fide of the avenue. An additional tent for the use of the newspaper correspondents was also placed there. The White House clerical force, which has established an office in the main drawing j room of the Milburn house, was moved to the I Glenn house, which adjoins the Milburn home, ; end which had been tendered to Secretary Cor tcjyou for the purpose. Mrs. Duncan, sifter of the I'rrfS.ident. and her son and the Misses Bar bar. nieces of the President, also left the Mllburn house, and at midnight started for Canton. They are to be closely advised of the condition of Mr. IfeKMNv; and, should there be a t>erlou9 change, will return here. Other members of the Presidential party who have been quartered in the Milburn house will temporarily withdraw further to aid the plan of s-curing perfect quiet for the wounded man. The public shows lus truest appreciation of the plan by keeping away from the locality, and neither the sentries nor the police have encoun tered any opposition. Those whose presence is necessary move about the house and grounds in the quietest manner possible. Around the Milburn home to-night the scene is very quiet and peaceful. Callers at the house are remarkably few, and the silence is broken only by the measured tread of the sentinels pacing up and down their beats and the click of the telegraph Instruments. In the square are gathered a few friends of the President and the Mil", urn family, and the reports that come to the telegraph booth are of a reassuring nature. * g t did not sEeep a night for seven long weeks That prolonged period of sleeplessness is most expressive of tie pain and suffering caused by womanly disease*.

LEE ON TIIE WOUNDS. ' THE PRESIDENTS STRONG CONSTITU TION AND WILL POWER LIKELY \ TO SAVE HIS LIFE. [ST TELKoru.ru TO the THIBIXE] ' Buffalo. Sept. 7.— Senator Hanna at 6:33 I o'clock to-night, after a consultation with Dr. Rlxey, gave cheering news or President McKln ley. The President la more than holding his own. Senator Hanna says that the President's physicians expect the crisis to be reached on Sunday night at about 6 o'clock, when they will be able to tell with a reasonable degree of cer tainty whether the President is going to re cover. Senator Hanna says there is not the Bllghteet symptom of peritonitis, the thing most feared by the physicians in connection with the wound caused by the bullet which perforated both walls of the stomach. Senator Hanna called at the home of John G. Milburn, where the President is being cared for. late this after noon, and talked with Dr. Rixey for fifteen or twenty minutes. At 6:35 Senator Hanna started away from the Milburn house, and he' was about to get into W. I. Buchanan's automobile, when he was accosted by a Tribune reporter, who said: THINKS THE CHANCES GOOD. "Senator, your smiling face Indicates that you have favorable news." said the reporter. Senator Hanna's eyes kindled as he straight ened up and said: "It is favorable news, be cause it is not unfavorable news. I have Just had a fifteen minutes' talk with Dr. Rixey. in which we thoroughly went over the entire situa tion. I wanted to know just how things stood. Dr. Rixey, who has been the President's physi cian for three years, knows him thoroughly. The President's excellent constitution gives him the chances of a man twenty years younger. His blood is in good condition, and his heart action is all right. His will, his equipoise and his character a!', tend to aid him in this emer gency. And then." continued Senator Hanna, shaking his clenched fist at an imaginary foe, "you know what a strong will will do for a man. When a man like the President makes up his mind, and Bays, 'I will not die," the old one himself cannot knock him out." "Do the surgeons know just where the bullet is. Senator?" was asked. "No," said the Senator flatly, "they do not. Eut I want to tell you that the Burgeons have not found the first symptoms of peritonitis. The doctors told me last night that it would be ferty-eight hours before they would be able to give a professional opinion about the President's recovery. By to-morrow night at <> o'clock they will he able to tell whether the President will get well or not. I want to speak about his high pulse. It Is a peculiarity of the Presi dent that his pulse in his normal condition always has been high and variable. Dr. Rixey knows about this, and is not disturbed by the President's pulse at present. The bullet prob ably lodged in the muscles of the back, and if that is so it is not a serious matter, because in forty-eight hours the bullet would be en cysted, and there would be no danger from blood poisoning. If the bullet under these con ditions, should cause the growth of a little ab scess, it would be a simple operation to over come that." "How is Mrs. McKlnley standing the strain?" the Senator was asked. The Senator smiled as he replied: 'Mrs. Mr. Klnley has disappointed me— happily disap pointed m«». She has borne up wonderfully and looks at her husband's condition philosophically, instead of becoming hysterical.** "Does the President see any of his friends?" the Senator was ask* d "No." said Senator Hanna. "he doesn't Bee any of us. He is being kept absolutely quiet. Mrs. McKinley saw him twice to-day, but no one else but the physicians and nurses were in his room. NO BLAME FOR THE POLICE. "Now." paid Senator Hanna with great seri ousness, "I want to authorize you to say as a friend of the President that his family and friends are entirely satisfied that the people of this city and those In charge of the Police De partment have done all in their power to protect the President and to guard against accidents. Neither I nor any of the President's friends be lieve that anything could have been done by any one to have thwarted so ingenious a plot as the one planned by the would-be assassin. The shrewdness of that fellow simply Rallied precaution. i went over the matter with De tective-Sergeant Ireland last nipht, and I don't Me where the police can be charged with any blame or shortcoming 1 . "And now one thing more," continued the Senator, "regarding the many rumors that are going about concerning the President's condi tion. The official bulletins Issued from time to time by the doctors attending the President cover the situation adequately, and they ran be depended upon. I was Just handed a dispatch in which It was stated that ' hr.d sent a mes sage to my son saying that the President could not live. That is a li.- «The reports concerning the President's condition, as I sai.t before, are favorable because they are not unfavorable." "Senator," Mr. Hanna was asked, "was there any meeting of the members of the Cabinet present in Buffalo to-day to provide against contingencies "No," said Senator Hanna. "The members of the Cabinet an* here prepared for any rontln ceney. And I sincerely nope no contingency will require an official Cabinet session." SAFEG UA BDS iN \VA SHING TON STRANGERS KEPT TWFATY FEET FROM THi: PBBSIDENT PLAIN CLOTHE! MEN ALWAYS ON THE WATCH. [bt telegraph to thk mi Washington. Sept. 7.— "While the President is In Washington his personal safety is always carefully if not conspicuously guarded," said Major Sylvester. Chief of Polite .if this city. to-day. "We go on the principle tliut It Is im possible to give the President atMotutc pcotec tlon from the assassin's ballet, yet that the danger can te reduced to a minimum.

"We assume that a shot fired fifteen or twenty feet from the President has about one ehanc* In a hundred of fatally wounding him. Therefore we try to keep strangers that AUtanCv firom him. Even the constant visitor at the White House «ees only a few idle policemen; yet they are always on the move, and they see < ¦.••: y public spot every few minutes. Each pushes a button every ten minutes and reports all well. Besides, there are many plain clothes men com ing and going. All In all, they keep very dose track of all who come. "Unless they are known, very few peraonj get cloae to the President while here. As lie comes and goes from hU drives the crowd* are kept at a distance of fifteen or twenty feet, and the groups who watch the President and his wife have surely been carefully inspected before they coma from the doors. It Is the same when they return. No mounted police gallop In front of the President's carriage, but the route of his drive always gets Inspected by plain clothes men before the President appears. This is till inconspicuously, but most effectively done. Even at receptions, we know pretty nearly who are coming. In this way the danger is reduced to ihe rrimrnum. "When the President leaves on a trip the chiefs of police are informed of our methods.

Sept. 7 Nine anarchists &r« now in custody at the Central Detective Bureau, and •very place' where anarchists are known- or thought to be is under the closest police surveil lance. Every available man from the . central station is out digging up clews with reference to the assassination of President McKlnley, That Czolgosz was in Chicago is now an established fact, and that he* was in consulta tion with the local "reds" has been conclusively proved through the confessions of Abraham Isaak and Hippolyte Havel, who were put through the "sweatbox" this afternoon. Mayor Harrison, the chief of police, Francis O'Neill, and Luke P. Colleran. chief of detectives, were closeted with the "reds" for an hour. After the confession a raid was made on a house at No. 100 Newberry-ave., and three more an archists were arrested. The names of these are Morris Fox, Martin Berzinsky and "Mike" Roz. In the house was found a patrol wagon load of printed matter and incendiary literature. The names of the others, who were taken from No. 515 Carroll-ave., are as follows: Clemence Pfuetzner, Abraham Isaak, Abraham Isaak, jr.. Alfred Schneider. Hippolyte Havel. Henry Tra vaglio, Julia Mechanic, Marie I&aak and Marie Isaak, jr. The prisoners are held on the charge of conspiring to assassinate the President. The police are guarding the house at No. 515 Carroll-ave., where the arrests were made yes terday, and refuse to allow anybody to enter it. The building is a two-story and basement brick, in a row of houses. "Free Society" was pub lished in the basement. There was no se crecy about the publication. It was freely print ed and circulated, like any other newspaper. The neighbors knew the place was a hotbed of anarchy. ¦ • .. • Abraham Tsa;»k is now practically the leader of th*- anarchists i: Chicago. Since he came here in January from Portland. Ore., he has assumed the ; lace formerly occupied by Lucy Parsons. He is a Russian. At Portland he tdited an anarchist paper called "The Fire brand." In his house la a loom used as a hall. where noon and evening anarchistic meetings are held. 'I he walls are pasted with Inflamma tory placard?, and portj ilti of the. .hane<*;<l anarchists are hung about the place. The police confix much rabid literature Among th^se were circulars denouncing the Judges who Issued the recent tabor injunctions. Isaak came to America eleven years ac from Russia, where It is said he was a Nihilist. During his resi dence in the United States he has lived in many of the targe cities from the Atlantic to the Par-ine. While editing "The Firebrand" In Portland he was arrested by the Federal au thorities on a charge of using the malls ille gally. He moved to San Francisco, continuing the publication of hid paper. From there he came to Chicago. Isaak l.i a tall, rather heavy man, with a rental, good nalured face. He dresses well, and has no resemblance to the type of anarchist usually pictured. Smooth of tongue and a.'i dress, he impresses cue favorably. His son. who Is a prisoner with m, resembles his father. The youth is scarcely out of his teen*. The other men prisoners are clearly of a lower order of intelligence. Clemens Pfuetsnt r, one of the prisoners at the Central police sta tion, proves to be a rabid anarchist, who has been in trouble with the police before. He con ducts a little shoe shop at No. 469 Wabaah-ave. Ti.e place is In a tiny shanty, scarcely large enough to turn around in, yet the neighbors say that men were In the habit of gathering there evenings. They talked in earnest tones in a foreign language. Hippo! "te Haven, another of the prisoners, is a canvasser, and lives at No. v Carroll He was convicted In Pelsen, Bohemia, of ¦peaking i.ml writing against the government, and was f'-nt to prison for two yeurs. Since his release and departure from his native country, he baa grown more radical than he was fit horns Henry Trakeglio, also a prisoner, is an Italian, and looks tike a typical brigand. Alfred Schneider is the moat peacable looking anar chist In the lot. According to Martin H. Flyr.n, manager of the Berry Detective Agency, Czolgoaz whs re cently in Chicago, .md was s^n frequently at the < 'arroil-nve. house. "When Czolgosz left Chicago nnd the Carroll ave. place," said Flynn, "he was affectionately bruie goodby t>y three women.

PRAYERS FOB Tin-: .PRESIDENT. London, Sept. 7.— The Ecumenical &l«thodlist Conference gave up the first hour of its Hussion to-day to prayers for, eulogies of and resolu tions respecting President McKlnley. It hap pened that the bishops anil ministers of th** col ored Methodist branches were in charge of the opening service, Bishop Arnett, of Ohio, pre siding. The Rev. Dr. P. A. Hubbaid. of Wash ington, !>. C, offered prayer for the President and his wife, and Bishop Arnett delivered' an address. In which he spoke of the high qualities of the President as a statesman, Christian and gentleman. The Rev. Dr. W. T. Davison, of the British Wtsleyan Methodists, president of the confer ence, moved: That this conference expresses its Intense in dignation at the dastardly attempt made upon the President of the United States, and Its pro found sympathy with the nation In Its deep anxiety over the deed, and direct! that a mes sage of respectful sympathy be sent immedi ately to Mrs. M Kin! This was amended to send one also to Presi dent McKlnley. Dr. Frank M.

" "I do not." was the answer. •What leads you to that opinion ?" . . . ¦" "The President's high temperature." was the reply. '"I learn (hla afternoon that it is 102- ; This would indicate a dangerous condition." .-•. [ . "It : has been said ¦. that a crisis . has . been, reached." .... - '. ¦' . ' "There has been no crisis yet. Because of the -character of wound, the recovery or the de cline is gradual, It will take time to determine what will be the ultimate results of the wound." "Is there not danger of peritonitis?" ¦¦¦ . t ' "There is always danger of peritonitis where there is a perforation of the peritoneum. This membrane lines the abdominal cavity, but Its perforation does not necessarily imply perito nitis, which is simply the inflammation of this tissue. Nevertheless, there are several reasons why I should fear peritonitis In the case of the President's -vound." . .' "What are your reasons, doctor?" .' Dr. Lee paused a minute before he made an answer. Then he said: "In the first place, the. contents of the stom ach oozed out into the peritoneal cavity; sec ond, the bullet carried with It a part of the President's clothing; third, the bullet Is of lead, which Is a poison of Itself, and fourth, it was an anarchist's bullet, • which may have been tainted with a special pojson to insure death." THE COURSE OF THE BULLET. "What was the course of the bullet?" "As far as could be determined It went straight through the body." "Where do you think it has lodged?" "Either In the muscles of the back, in which case it la not far below the Bhoulderblade. or it has dropped down into the abdominal cavity." "Could it not have"".VS<*r«d to the right suffi ciently to have struck-ihe-'vertebra?" "I do not believe so. The President showed no sign of. paralysis, which he would, have done if the spinal cord had been affected." . . Here Dr. Lee stopped -a moment, as if think ing of something important which he had al mopt forgotten. Then he said suddenly: "I was thinking of President Garfield's wound." j , _/ • The bullet was. not found which caused his death, was It?" asked the reporter. "It whs found, but only in a post-mortem ex amination. It had broken Into the vertebra, and was discovered lodged against the spinal cord. In these days of surgery it would have been removed by an Incision into the back. That was the advice of Dr. J. Marlon Sims at the tim*. I believe, but the operation was con sidered too dangerous." "Do you consider the inability to find the bul let as fatal?" "I do not. It does not make so much dif ference now about the bullet. Men have been known to live for yean with bullets In them. The bullet of Csolgoea has done the worst of its work already. NO CRISIS IN SUCH A CASE. "Will not the crisis In the President's condi tion be reached soon?" "As I have said before, there is no crisis in ¦ucb a caff." Here Dr. I.^<» stopped for a moment, as if he dreaded to nay it. and then he adde.l: '•Nevertheless, If the President'! temperature dnfs not go down during the next forty-eight hours the outcome will be still more uncer tain."

WHAT EMINENT BURGEONS THINK. VIEWS OF SURGEONS GENERAL VAN' RET PEN AND WTMAN AN!) DM MC l:i KNKV AND MURPHY. Washington, Sept 7.— Naturally the officials of the N;i\y Department turned to Burgeon-Geo • ral Van tleypen fur an expression of opinion as to the President's .condition. The Burgeon-Gen eral waa optimistic, lie declared positively that the fact that the Presl Inthi '. aped primary hemorrhage and bad rallied from the first t.i ri»U: shook was neatly in his Cavor The opera tion, which f* riot unusual in war ttice surgery In these later days, is not regarded as extra hazardous wlipji performed, as tala was. in a quiet hospital and with all modern appliances. A point to be feared was blood pebor>;n{j, and that defended entirely on whtther the opera t«.rt« hud succeeded in removing all fords; ' mat ter, such as bits of cloth, grease from the bullet, and .>v«?n dust, that might have been carried Into Mi.- wound. The means* of sterilizing such tracts w«re low ample, and there waa no reason to believe thai any precaution had been omitted. The birHot ' Itself, not having been reached as yet, wai a source of danger, for it might not have been perfectly dean. It would be impossible to administer nourish ment i > the President In the usual manner for some days, and resort must be had to artificial means. Th ¦ presence of food in the stomach could not be' permitted until the wounds made by the bullet and the cut made In the opera* tion had healed. This miirhf be expected to occur In about a week. in response to a request for an opinion as to the probable result of the President's wounds, Btrrgeon-Cfieri -ml Wymnn of the Marine Hospital Service said: The fact that tin- President was in such good health, that skilled surgical assistance was im mediately available, thai the n»K:eFSary opera tion was not postponed, and the fact that the percentage of recoveries in similar oases hi large, all give good ground for anticipating a favorable result. It Is not unlikely there will be same rise In temperature which follows wounds of this description, due either to a gen eral disturbance following the wound and oper ation, or possibly' due to some localized perito nitis. The fact that the wound was received as late as- .4:10 p. m, — probably some hours after luncheon and before dinner, the stomach being comparatively empty— ls In his favor. It Is difficult to find statistics based upon a large number of cases with wounds of this character, but In a general way It may be said that re coveriea average about 50 per cent. With a man like President MoKlnley it li safe to say that the peroentage of chances in hf3 favor is much greater than this. las-s with numerous perforations of the stomach and intestines, even accompanied by wounds of the liver arid kid neys, have recovered, as many as ten or mare perforations of the intestines with , recovery being by no means a great rarity. ' . Stoekbrldge, Mass.. Sept. 7.— President Mc- Klnley'H wounds should heal rapidly, in the opinion of Dr. Charles Ifcßurney, the eminent New-York surgeon, who Is staying here, if in flammation does hot set in. Dr. Mcßurney also said that he had known- many cases much more serious than that of the President appeared to be to recover. Dr. Mcßurney. spoke In answer to a request for his opinion. He paid that if the bullet penetrated th« abdominal wall the injury was a grave one; If the ballet penetrated both walls, the case was still graver, and if the in testines were , Injured, it would make recovery more doubtful. Injury to the liver, would make the chances -of recovery still less. . %i ¦ - The doctor said he had known, many cases to recover where the, walls and intestines were in- . lured- but from* the reports; he. -had read of the President's injuries, he did not consider them extremely serious. Had the wounds extended to the 'intestines the surgeons would have taken a much longer time In performing the operation. Dr Mcßurney said he could tell nothing from the pulse, temperature and respiration an nounced this forenoon, as all three might have baaaa affected by the drug* used in the per rormance of the operation. Chicago. Sept. 7— When he receive! a de scription of the President's wounds --day John B. Murphy, whose reputation as a surgeon is worldwide, said: The present location of the bullet which an tered the President's abdomen Is of minor Im portance. The danger lies In the wounds in tha posterior walls of the stomach. It would be Im possible at this distance to tell the probable location of the bullet. :• ¦ . .¦ i — . * . ,—, — - SERIOUS, SAYS DR. LOVm r • Dr. I. N. Love, of No. 587 Fifth-aye.. called on Dr. Lee." at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, during the day; and heard all the particulars of. the opera tion. Dr. Love is a diagnostician. When seen later Dr. Love said: If the temperature of the President had not gone above 100 degrees there would h«*v«s been no apprehension. What has surprised me most, however, is that the laity has not graape-1 the situation in Its full seriousness. Those who view the wounds from the point of view of a physi cian must bear with me in holding that the condition of the Chief Executive Is . most se rious, and in viewing the outcome ' with the greatest anxiety. The danger In in the character of the wound, which involves a probable Infection from th© bullet, the double perforation of the stomach, the emptying of some of its contents into the abdominal tract, and the inability to recover the bullet. Much hope, however, obtains because of the evident splendid health of the President, his fortitude and the first favorable react'on. Were it not for these qualities the outlook would in deed be very grave, and any physician familiar with such cases would make a serious prog nosis. At the Post Graduate Hospital yesterday there was an informal meeting of the consulting physicians for the purpose of discussing Mr. McKinley'a condition. It was the consensus of opinion that the chances for the President' 1 re covery depended on the developments during the next forty-eight hours, and that a continu ance of the* high temperature would indicate the setting in of peritonitis, with perhaps fatal results. The doctors agreed that the full 3eriou3ne.ss o£ the situation had not yet been realized by the public. jmCFS; DENOUNCE AX ARC FISTS. SAY OUR LAWS NEED ALTERATION TO MEET THESE SOCIAL PESTS. Some of th* Judges in this city spoke strongly yesterday on the desirability of society taking greater precautions against anarchists. Justice | John Henry McCarthy, of the City Court, »aid: I cannot Imagine any punishment severe enough for the, dirty scoundrel who aid this act. Even. should the President live. I believe that hanging Is too good for this fellow. Laws should be enacted that would mete out special punishment for such acts as these. I believe that Congress should ta*e some action against the anarchists in this country. ( That they should be allowed to meet and thrive in | this country, carrying out their dastardly ' •; ¦• >. is an outrage to our civilization. The country has been entirely too apathetic with regard to the do ings of the anarchists until now it la brought di- ! rectly home to them Let the reds be swept out i of the country. City Court Judge J. P. Schuchman said: Hanging? Why whether our President lives or : dlos. hinging Is far too good for the man who tried ' to kill him. It was a cawardly act and has plunged the entire world Into sorrow. Even the President's political opponents could not but admire him per- j sonally. Now that anarchy has been brought so , close, home to our people, maybe laws will be passed . governing the doings of its agents. Right und»r our j very noses the a post of these people are working i out schemes of murder, and we sit Idly by and • watch. It la riieri time that our lawmakers should do something toward putting an end to their bloody ; work. j Justice- Leonard A. Glegerlch, of the Supreme ; Court, Faiil: I cannot find words to express my horror and de- ', te«tn.tlnn of the crime which has been committed : fgalnst President McKlnley. It is almost incon- | ceivable thai such a crime should be perpetrated , against a man who. so far as we know, has per formed the onerous duties >•( his high position moat , satisfactorily, and who la beloved by nil classes of | ¦¦!- f.-llow countrymen, irrespective of political af- • fll'ntions if. as reported, the crirr.e is due to the existence of an anarchist nnsptracy. the sooner anarrhy and its supporters in this country are stamped out the better for the civilize.! world. I Join. In common with my fellow citizens, in the hope that President McKSnley's recovery may be speedy «nd complete. I think prayer should to-morrow be onVred in every place of public worship for his re rov.-ry. It speaks well for the self-control of our ; citizens who witnessed the de*d that they did not take the la* Into their own hands. Republican in- , stitutions were never put to a greater or more; ermlal test than when our People refrained from so doing. The laws of this State contain amp.* pro- Visions for the trial and punishment of criminal*. The ultimate question as to Czolsosz'a gu.lt or in nocence ¦¦ ts with a Jury of this man a fellow citizens, and the Judges and officials of our gov trnraenl i in bo depended upon to enforce the law when a verdict is pronounced by a Jury. Supreme Court Justice- James A. Blanchard said: II must have been the result of a conspiracy or the ait of a lunatic. It appear* to me that the crime wan without justification or reason, and was I, met, i on oue of the sweetest and noMest char acter* In American public cr private life. A sen tence of ten years' Imprisonment for such an of fence -. ems to be Inadequate, but the law does not look for vengeance, and bo American citizen wants , ',,.,. thin a Justlfictitlm Of vindication of the law. Assemblyman Julius Harburger, addressing toe members of the Tit any Club, at No. 94 Second ave, last evening; said: The dastardly and ccwarily attempted assassina tion of the President of the Tutted States by an anarchist shows how urgently repressive measures should be. used linst thesis despicable, detestable hirelings of the bludgeon and pistol. We have no room for them on American sol:. They should be deported and not allowed breathing «pace 'In tn« land of the fret Dlsturbora of »he peace, their presence Is ntumloatina. and Inimical to the fundamental principles of our government. They must be extirpated, driven from the country, and their vaporing* sirj> pressed. Our government should pass .i stringent Federal law against the landing of those firebrands whose Insane notions and mis guided teachings ore at variance with the precepts of our nation ?n.l. while 1 am a firm believer in our five speech tenets, yet every one of their gath erings should be dispersed and their leaders ana followers driven from the country We must here after eeeture the lives of the niters of our nation and mu.«f use herola measures asalnst these male factors, who harangues nd teachings have In cited to murder, assassination and bloodshed. Senator Etsberg said he believed the shooting of President McKlnley would brinjr about a change in th ¦ methods employed in guarding the Chief Executive. He added: - . We run too great risks In expostng the head cf the nation In the multitude. The act of. snaking hands with thousand! of strangers is not demo cratic so much as liullscreet. It Is a great physi cal strain on a man to have to 1 shake hands, .is i some of our chief men are sometimes compelled to co and besides, 1» put.-* them In inn et»s«&rj dan* get froVn men aue* as this Ozolgosa. l do rot ¦ recommend guarding the I resident as the Czar I or the Kaiser Is guard i. but greater cans should' j be taken to protect him. It was th- drift of conversation yesterday In the Fifth Avenue Hotel, th.- Repubficaaand the Manhattan clubs that legislation should be In troduced at the next session of Confess increas- i ing ih,- punlvhmeni of any one attempting to take I th* life of the Chief Executive. This kind of legislation was suggested by Senator Plait In an interview which was printed in The Tribune yesterday. Several of those who read the Sen ator's suggestion say they will write him to Introduce a bill along- the lines' which he indi cated. More stringent measures to prohibit the printing of inflammatory literature anl the making of anarchistic speeches are also pro nosed. HAWLEY SAYS DEED OF WIIJ> BEING.

Last evening when a drum corps was passing his summer cottage at Wood mont General Hawley went out Into the road and ordered the band to cease playing on ac count of the condition of the President. . He said to-night: ¦ -••».• The assassination of McKlnley Is the work of a «M being rather than that of a man. The deed Is so atrocious that I cannot express my horror of It.

Though Mayor Van Wyck has issued a pro©, lamation setting apart to-day as a day of pray* for President McKinley. no arrangements hay» been made for special services In the ehurchta. In all the churches the shooting of the Presi dent will be remembered, and the crime and the sufferer will be referred to in most of the sermons. Prayers for the President will be of. fered. The one subject— the heinous, causelesj crime— will be uppermost in the minds of an but to-day, except by tacit consent, has not been particularly set asfde la the churches to | be devoted to services for the nation's head. The reason for this ia that both Bishop Potter and Archbishop Corrigan. the heads of the Episl copal and Roman Catholic churches here. beta* out of town, and the pastors of so many churches of all denominations also being away, concerts action has not been possible. Many church**. are closed, altogether; in others assistants o*. ' da*« The Episcopal churches will await instruction* from Bishop Potter. Archbishop Corrigan Is sues the orders for the Catholic churches, tax in other denominations the pastors must returt before any steps can be taken. In both the Episcopal and Catholic church* a prayer for the President is a regular part of' the service. The prayer in the Episcopal ser vice is: O Lerd our heavenly Father, the high and mighty Rnler of ,, th t universe, who dost from thy ow» behold all the dwellers upon earth; Most' heanS we beseech the-, with thy favour to behold^* bless thy servant The President of the CntoJii States, and all others in authority; and so resle-ish; them with the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that their may always Incline to thy will, and walk in tir 1 way. Endue them plenteously with heavenly ssMu grant them In health and prosperity long to ttTe ; ' and finally, after this life, to attain everlasting. )wi and felicity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Aaav This may be followed to-day by the prayer for a sick person: O Father of mercies and God of all comfort our Only help in time of nued. Look down from beam. we humbly beseech the*, behold, visit, and re"n» thy sick servant The President of the United State*. for whom our prayers are desired. Look upon iim with the eyes of thy mercy; comfort him with a 1a 1 sense of thy goodness, preserve him from the temptations of the enemy; give him patience 'indap his affliction; and. In thy good time, restore h.m health, and enable him to lead the residue of iii life in thy fear, and to thy glory. Or els« give hiar grace so to take thy visitation, that, after this pain ful life ended, he may dwell with thee In life ever* lasting: through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The words, "the President of the Unitri States," are. not a part of the form of prayer^ tut may be added. In the Catholic Church the prayer for thai President Is: ¦*V> pray Thee. O God of might, wisdom, led) Justice, through whom authority Is rightly adaln-i istered. laws are executed, and Judgment decreed.^ assist with Thy Holy Spirit, counsel and fortiuudw the President of these United Stairs, that bis »<!-i ministration may be conducted in rlghteocssess,! and be eminently useful to Thy people, over whomi he presides, by encouraging due respect for virtual and religion, by a faithful execution of th* laws' In Justice and mercy, and by restrainin; vies aa«U Immorality. This to-day will be followed by voluntary prayers for God's help to the President In t!ie> other churches there are no special forma. The President's brother.
