DISTINGUISHED FOREIGNERS WHO DEPLORE THE TRAG EDY IN BUFFALO. The United States Consul General/ P.^H.

BERLIN. Sept. 8.— The United States Embassador, Andrew D. .White, who was Interviewed before his departure for Sass nitz, said : "President McKinley's death would be a terrible loss at the time when he had marked out a policy for the United States calculated to complete magnificently his career. I knew him, for many years and never heard him speak without being deeply Impressed by his. ability, patriot- Ism and goodwill to all mankind. If there ever was a democrat (1 use the word in its true senso) he is one. The only thing he had at heart was the welfare, not of a person nor of a class, but of all the people. . His conduct has been' ad mirable. . White * Eulogizes His Chief. "These things come hardest on the women, and. at least poor Mrs. McKinley, in her state of health, should have been spared."

These crimes are the curse of our. day. I can only offer the afflicted -victim and his poor wife my humble prayers.". It is gratifying at least to see the universal sympathy the crime has evoked for the victim. The whole world is kin to-day alike In horror at the act and in compassion for the Ameri can President and the American people. Thus, it may be, out of evil good will come and. the nations be drawn into closer bonds of sym pathy. .

Scotland Yard knows a deal more about the London anarchists than the public realizes. The police even recognize clubs In which anarchical doctrines are preached and plots hatched. The members of such organizations btamp . themselves as out laws and the time has arrived when they should be treated as such. They are a source of terrible danger to the community and should no longer be tolerated. , .The Sunday papers all voice the horror and sympathy already expressed by the daily press. The Sunday Special, after commenting upon the insane aimlessness with which the anarchists apparently se lect their victims, says: I rejeice to hear the favorable account of the President's health.

LONDON, Sept. 8.— The following tele gram froni King Edward, at Fredensburg, to United States Embassador Choate was received at 10 o'clock this evening: King Edward's Well Wishes. "The crime of 1865 was explained by po litical passion. The crime of yesterday is wholly inexcusable. It would, seem' that a President chosen by universal suffrage would be safe amid the people of -the' freest country of the world. But, no. Amid the outcasts of humanity are . de generates who detest all authority. The criminal explained all by declaring him self an anarchist, and he was moved. by the same motives as was the murderer of the Empress of Austria. Anarchists are indifferent as to how the .world regards their crimes. They present ends which are 'intelligible only to their own minds. However, such a state of things cannot be allowed to continue. The existing leg-" islation against anarchism Is evidently insufficient to accomplish its ends, and it must be reconstituted, because states have the right to enjoy liberty and not to be affrighted lest their tranquillity be de stroyed at any moment by some individ ual's caprice.

Beyond this statement no in formation .was furnished. Detectives have failed to locate Laux, as there is no such number on Monroe .- street. The police claim to have the details of a former plot which was hatched here, and in which a Cincinnati man left here for Canton, Ohio the. home of the President, for the pur pose of murder, but returned, unable to fulfill his purpose.

His cell was changed to one that of fered greater safety ;.and it is. said when this change was made the prisoner first learned \ot the attempt that had been made upon the life of the President . Eleven men and women who are avowed anarchists were formally booked to-night on the charges of conspiracy to commit murder. They will be taken be fore Justice Prindiville to-morrow morn ing for a hearing. It is said that the pros ecution will ask f.or.a continuance of ten days that the police may have more time for an investigation. This was admitted to-night by Captain Colleran. "I am not prepared to say that a con spiracy to kill President McKinley was formed in Chicago," he said. "The evi dence in our possession has been turned over to the law department, and while we are ready to begin the hearing to-morrow it Is possible that the city prosecutor may want more time. In that event we will ask for a continuance." Chief O'Neill was directed to get the names of all the outspoken anarchists now in the city and to ascertain to what extent their movement has progressed during the last three or four years. If any further proof were needed that Leon Czolgosz was the guest of ! Chicago anarchists shortly before he went to Buf falo on his murderous mission against President McKinley it was supplied to day by three of the prisoners of the Cen tral police station. They identified a pho tograph of Czolgosz as' a picture of a man whom they saw at the home of Abraham Isaak,- 515 Carroll avenue, not longer ago than July 12. Chief O'Neill's order is the result of a conference he had with Mayor Harrison last night. Information to the effect that Leon czolgosz, the Buffalo assassin, re ceived part of his anarchistic education in Chicago arid that he was one of tnose who attenaed meetings at which Emma Gold man and other anarchist leaders spoke in this city, coupled with the experience of the Mayor's own family, led Mr. Ham son to decide on drastic measures in deal ing with the radicals. CHICAGO, Sept. 8.— There will be no more ' ' revolutionary speeches " '* in ' pub lic'.in Chicago, if the. police can prevent, them.-' The edict has gone forth' from Mayor Harrison and Superin tendent of Police O'Neill that such utter ances shall be stopped, and the Chief later sent orders to the commanding officers of the various districts to detail men to be in attendance at all such meetings and to arrest the speakers if violent language is used. ebrating the assassination of McKinley.

SatisfM with his beginning, the speaker began a tirade against Christianity, and when his Illogical discourse was concluded. George Cumming, an elderly man.' took the floor.

LONDON, Sept. 8.— Prayers for th» re covery of Mr. McKinley were offered la hundreds of British churches to-day, no tably St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. At the Rev. F. B.

Hundreds of callers made Incessant In quiries throughout the day at the United States embassy. Many Americans walked, drove or traveled by train for miles In order to get the latest authentic news. All departed delighted but still anxious. King Edward has shown keen anxiety. The United States Embassador is keeping the King fully informed about Mr. Mc- Kinley's condition. Todd was encouraged to close with the remark that It was the duty of "every independent searcher after the truth to bring benighted Christians out of th» darkness into the light." and the women aPPteuded their champion again.

How tender Is the tie between them is a mat ter which all the world knows. Her piti ful helplessness for years has stirred the President's affectionate disposition to the profoundest depths. The first thought that came to his mind when the assassin's bullet tore through his body was anxiety for her. The first word he spoke after being stricken down was about her—ask ing that she be not told of what had oc curred, or, if told, that there be no shade of exaggeration. His wishes in this respect were amply fulfilled. She has not been told. With sedatives to support her she hears only what those who know her best have told her and this she has accepted with child like confidence. Husband's Love for "Wife. But even with all the* precautions with which Mrs. McKinley la still surrounded there is still grave anxiety for the out come In her case. Her life, which long has hung by a thread, one might say. would hardly survive the slightest shock in her present condition. The announce ment In fact that she was at the point of death, if it came at any moment, wouid hardly cause surprise. To-day Mrs. McKinley went for a drive out Delaware avenue in company with her cousin. Mrs. Lafayette McWilliams of Chicago. The air was so superbly bracing that Dr. Rixey felt a drive in it would be better. for Mrs. McKinley than all the drugB that could be given to her. The result more than justified the physician's opinion. Mrs. McKinley returned to the house noticeably brighter and fresher thaa when she left it. She is constantly under the influence of strong tonics and powerful sedatives. A good deal of the time she sleeps. Nobody who by apy chance might let her know the true state of affairs. Is permitted to come near her. She sees nothir.s: what ever in the shape pf a newspaper. "Under these condition's- and with this constant watchfulness and nursinsr she has borne up surprisingly well. To have added to all this anything like a statement of the awful thins: th«it ha.i befallen her husband could have hardly been otherwise than fatal, in the opinion of those who know Mrs. McKinley's con dition best.
