'.e advance proof of Henry Clews Weekly Financial letter says some Improvement can be recorded In tho flnnnclnl situation, which was duo partly to reactionary influence, part ly to thu satisfactory policy of Sec retary Cottelyou, and partly to tho efforts to take up tho new four mil lion New York City bond Issue which Indicates reviving confidence. After such a violent reaction as has been experienced during tho pres ent mouth, a partial recovery was to be expected; because liquidation had been exceedingly thorough and the purchases of an Important short In terest contributed to the; rally. Whether liquidation has reached tho end or not. It Is somewhat premnture to decide. Much depends upon tho future coure of tho money market. Tho credit situation has undoubtedly been greatly Improved by recent li quidation, nud this of Itself should af ford substantial relief. Tho outlook, however, for the money market con tinues uncertain. Firm rates aro likely lo prevail throughout tho bal ance of this year, though It Is to be hoped the extreme llgurea reached two or three years ago will not ho M'ated. Nevertheless, It Is Idle to conceal tho fact that there Is moro or less nuxluty concerning tho mone tary situation, Very shortly wo shall bo In tho midst of tho crop moving season.

Y., Sept. .".Six years. ' lacking one day, nfttr William Mc- Klnloy was snot by a cowardly as sassin at the Pan-American exposl , tloji grounds In this city, Inflicting I wounds which caused the death of the I prtHdcnt on September 14, 1901, a . great monument typifying tne love of ; the people or lluffalo was dedicated i In Niagara square today. The beaa tlful white marble shaft was planned ( nnd executed under the direction of a commission of prominent men at jn cost of J150,0o0, furnished by this municipality and the state of New I York. Impressive ceremonies marked the dedication, tho speakers Includ ing Governor Hushes, ex-President ' Cleveland nnd others of national fame. The exercises formed tho central fea ture of Buffalo's old home week nnd were witnessed by thousands of people ( from all over the country. The obelisk Is of pure whlto mar- hie, eighty-six feet In height, with a base of six feet and tapering gradu ' ally to the top. It rests upon a great j pedestal, on two sides of which arc inscribed tho record of William Mc I Klnley ns a statesman nnd a soldier. I On the north side Is the following; "William Mclvlnluy, died In lluffalo, I September II, 1901. victim of a treaifli- erous assassin, who shot the presi dent as he was extending to him the hand of friendship." Facing east, west, north and south from the angles of the pedestal are four sleeping lions In marble of he roic size, the work of Phlnlster Proc tor, the New Y'ork sculptor. Flanking the sides of the four bases which support the marble lions are a series of fountains, which nre fed with water from gargojles located close to the four corners of tho ped estal of the obelisk. Surrounding the whole Is a broad circular promenade, with mosaic floor and embellished with balustrades nnd massive balus ters connected with heavy chains. Tho approaches are flights of stone steps, which pierce the parapet at four points. Ileyond tho parapet loading to tho Jtreet" level are concrete walks between which aro grassy plots and (lower bods.

It was late In the afternoon of Sep. 6, 1901 a few minutes after C o'clock, to be more exact that newsboys be gan rushing madly through the streets of Huffalo, themselves overcome with the consternation that their cries aro.ued In the breasts of others.wild ly shoutliiK. "bxtry! Uxtry! President McKln ley Is shot by er anacuss!" It was only flft'-on minutes nfter the madman had fired the fatal bullet that the first extra of lluffalo papers was on the Btreet. News of the tragedy that had occurred at the Temple of Music, on tho exposition grounds, spruid llko wildfire. Tho first wore conflicting, some of tho papers de claring that the president had been stabbed, but all agreed that he had suffered serious and perhaps fatal In juries. Bvery loyal citizen of Huffalo was overcome at the disgrace of the city, each Individual taking upon his own shoulders a partial responsibility. In tho first outburst of anger the po lice and detectives were roundly scor ed, although the wrath of the populace centered on the miserable assassin, cowering w.-etchedly In his cell,, his tottering brain filled with fear that ho would be dragged forth by a mob and torn limb from limb. Tho various shades of emotion with which the people of Huffalo received the news would have supplied an un precedented field for psychological ob servation. If there had been In Huffalo a man who was sufficiently calm to undertake such a study, Kvcn the newspaper men, tried veterans of ma ny tragedies, to whom life and death was but a "story," were overcome by tho universal panic and worked under a stress of excitement and In dignation such as they had never before known. Workmen, homeward bound from the day's labor, heard the news and wept violently, their tears making furrows In their grimy cheeks. On the street corners llttlo knots of men gathered, some stony eyed nnd pale, some weeping, somo swearing aloud for vengeance. "Let no one harm him," tho words of the stricken president, bespeaking tho su premo charity of tho man great enough to lovo his enemies alone serv ed to quiet the outburst of tho mob spirit which for a time threatened to transform lluffalo Into a pandemo- n ,h ,.... foli0,veu . cllv waited with bated breath for news from the room where the martyr presi dent lay breathing his last.
