OCCUPIED SPECIAL CAR AND
REPUBUC SPECIAL.
Buffalo, N. IV. Sept. H. Mr. Roosevelt
left North Creek at 5:43 a. m., arriving In
Albany at 736. He Immediately boarded a
special train. The car on which he was to
travel was locked. The train pulled out of
the Albany Btatlon at 8:02 and passed
Schenectady, the first telegraph station,
seventeen miles distant, at 8:27 a. m.
Whin President Roosevelt reached North
Creek an attempt was made to Interview
him. but he refused to talk.
The car In which President Roosevelt
made the trip to Buffalo was the private car
or ice i-resiaeni auuns i " Acm.wtc
and Hudson company. As the train left for
Buffalo Mr. Roosevelt's secretary was
handed a big batch of telegrams. The en
gineer in charge of the train was limited
to Empire State express time.
Great crowds were" at the station to meet
the Delaware and'Hudson train uponitsar
jival here, but they were not afforded an
opportunity to see the President. The por
ter was sent out to the station restaurant
to get breakfast for the President and his
secretary. Mr. Iioeb. The police kept the
crowd from the steps of the' car.
While the New York Central special was
being made tip at Albany. Secretary Loeb
went to th platform of the President's car
and said:
"I. am very sorry, but the Vice President
will see no one at this time."
"Is he sleeping?" was asked.
"No, he is awake," Mr. Ijoeb replied.
"Has Mr. Roosevelt taken the oath of of
fice yetT'
"No, sir."
"Have any arrangements been made for
Mr. Roosevelt to take- the oath between
here and Buffalo or at Buffalo?"
Had Long, Hard Ride.
"No, sir." Mr. Loeb replied, and then he
"conUnued: "You may say that no arrange
ments have been made at all of any de
scription. 1 don't know what will be done
at Buffalo. No plans as yet have been
made. All I can say Is this: That upon
his arrival In Buffalo Mr. Roosevelt will
become the guest of Mr. Wilcox, with
whom he stopped when he was at Buffalo
before."
In reply to a question as to whether
there were any incidents on the trip from
the' camp to North Creek, Mr, Loeb said:
"No, but it was a long, hard. ride. Horses
were changed three times."
Besides President Roosevelt, the train
carried Superintendent Harrington of the
New York Central and Mr. Roosevelt's
secretary, Mr. Loeb. The train was made

CLAIMING CREDIT
CAPTURE OF
Captain of the Coast Artillery Sribmits an Official Iteport in Wliicli
He Describes the ABBanlt Upon the President in Detail,
and Claims That His Men Captured Czolgosz.
Buffalo, Sept. ll.-The credit for the ar
rest of President McKinley's assassin and
for his rescue from the crowd Is claimed
by Captain John P. Wlsser of the Artillery
Corps for. his men. whose names he gives
in his renort of the shooting to the Ad
jutant General of the United States Army
at Washington.
Captain Wlsser says In his report that he
made a detail, at the request of Mr. Bab
cock of the Reception Committee, to assist
In reculatlne the advance of the people at
the. President's reception in the Temple of
Music, September 6.
Corporal Bertschey and ten' men reported
to Mr. Babcock at 3 p. m. The Corporal is
3, soldier of twenty years' service. The
Corporal gave the" men in his detail instruc
tions to keep their eyes open and watch
every man approaching the President.
"When the assassin fired the two shots,"
says Captain Wlsser, "Private Brooks -was
"standing immediately In the rear of Mr.
John Muburn. wbo was on the loft of Uie
President. Private O'Brien was Immedlr
ately on Mr. Mllburn's left. Private Fenn
bongh was directly opposite the President,
and Private Neff was opposite Private
O'Brien. Corporal Bertsch'el was midway be
tween Private O'Brien and the point where
the President stood. When the shots were
nred Private O'Brien, was the first man on
the" assassin, with Private Neff. Corporal
-Bertschey and Private Brooks reached him
at about the same time. Private Brooks col

Private O'Brien wrenched away the revolv

then lumped on the assassin, kneeling on.

Jn falling on the prisoner, and, while he
was down on ms nam- juito w '
side of the 'prisoner's bead, he saw that
the President was still- standing up, looking;
down on the group of men on the prisoner.,
The President then walked with the help
of two gentlemen to a chair and sat down.
The report adds that, the Secret Service
men "came on the' scene and grabbed Cor

to him the most important that "any Ameri

hands were scratched by bushes and briers,

ThooRht McKinley Woold Recover,
When Theodore Roosevelt left Buffalo he.
like every one else, was confident that Mr.
McKinley was getting well. and. after his
custom when wishing' to rest from a long
strain, he put himself in hunting clothes
and plunged into the wilderness in search
at the same time of game and of relaxa
tion. He went to the Tahawus Club, and
before the sun was up left with guides on
a hunting trip through the forest. He had
no Intimation then of Mr. McKinley's re
lapse, and was in great spirits, looking
forward to a day of exhilarating sport and
the physical exertion that brings rest.
Not many hours after Mr. Roosevelt's
departure from the clubhouse the news of
Mr. McKinley's seriousness arrived, and it
became necessary at once to find the Vice
President.
The club steward knew that this was no
easy task, as this is the tangled wilder
ness over which Leather-Stocking and
Uncas roamed, and it has changed but lit
tle since their day. But it was. too, al
most the first time In history that search
had to be made for the heir to so great a
place, and the officials of the club were on
.ineir mettle. They said that the search
must continue until Mr. Roosevelt was
found and they pressed into service every
guide and member of the club who was at
hand.
Tho hunt for Mr. Roosevelt was begun
early In the day and continued for many
hours over the penks. among the ravines
and through the forest. The guides now
and then fired shots to signal to each other
or to attract the attention of Mr. Roose
velt, but there was no sign. Thus the hunt
went on nnd a nation waited, while Mr.
McKinley's successor, not dreaming that he
was needed, was lost In the woods.
Searching, the Woods,
Other messages were received at the Ta
hawus clubhouse, which stated the Increas
ing gravity of Mr. McKinley's condition and
new searchers were sent Into the. forest
after the missing Vice President. Some of
the, earlier ones reported, saying that he
could not b found. He was a man ac
customed to the wilderness, and he might
spend the night with his guides in a cabin
somewhere in the. mountains. But the club
members refused to give up. saying that
they would continue tho search through the
night. If necessary.
The striking nature of the situation ap
pealed to them. Here was a man who did
.not know the great step upward that he
was about to take, and he was almost the
only one of the 80,000.000 who did not know
it Moreover, the -80,000.000 ."wanted to find
htm and tell him,-, and the club officials,
feeling that the burden of it lay upon them,
resolved to'succeed.
" Nearly-all the afternoon passed In fruit
less endeavor,-but shortly before 6 o'clock
be was found on Mount Marcy, ten miles in
the rough and tangled ."wilderness. He
reached the club' about 9 o'clock, and,
after stopping only a few minutes for hasty
refreshment, took a bUckboard and began
the long thlrty-flve-mlle Journey over the
mountains.
-The road which" Mr. Roosevelt 'followed 'Is
difficult at the" best of times, but is doubly
so at night. There' was no lingering, how
ever, as the "club officials had teams and at.
tf-ndant standlne at the door. and. with a
few quick words of good-by. .they drove off.
In a 'solemn silence, broken only by the
rattling of the buckboard wheels on the
mountain road.
President Roosevelt arrived here shortly
after 1 o'clock: .'

capturing the prisoner by standing with
fixed bayonets. The Captain' sent' a detail
to clear the esplanade' and keep up with

men ordered two men from the wheels of
the carriage, but the two men hung on un

PATHETIC SCENES AT DEATH
BED OF DYING PRESIDENT.
REPUBLIC SPF.OAU ,
Buffalo. N. Y.. Scpi: 14. The last hoursof
President McKinley .were without suffering.
The dying man was prepared to meet the in
evitable.
In the rooms below, awaltine the dread
"summons; were Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Dun
can, the President's sisters: Miss Mary Bar
ber. Mrs. MeWUllams. Mrs. .McKinley's
cousin; John G. Milburn, John N. Scatcherd,
Harry Hamlin, Secretary Cortelyou and a
numoer or others.
When the President asked for his wife
they went to the room across the hall where
she.sat. with Mrs. McWIUlams.
Sho was helped Into. her- husband's room
by Mrs. McWilliams. but Mr. McKinley had
fallen into unconsciousness.
After waiting a few moments sho obeyed
the suggestion of those about and went to
her room; leaving the doctors free to re
sume their efforts.
Andjnow, one by one, those in the house,
the President's brother, Abncr, Secretary
Boot, Secretary Wilson. Secretary Hitch
cock, Mrs. McKinley's sister and others,
went into the room of death for tho last
look.
Each looked at'the form on the bed; some
wept no further than tho doorway and
turned away. The sight of that .bravo-face,
looking so like death,-caused them to weep.
Not: one person, roan or woman, who came
back downstairs was not weeping, and somo
of the men. were, sobbing almost hysteric
ally. Asked to See His Wife.
About 8 o'clock Mr. McKinley recovered
consciousness and again whispered Mrs.
McKinley's name. Onco more they led her
in and placed her in a chair beside the bed.
They saw that he' was conscious and then
turned away, all except the nurse and one
doctor. - ,
She took his hand. His eyes opened. He
spoke several sentences. Those near caught
only one: . .. , .
"Good-by, good-by. It Is GodB way. Let
his will, not ours, be done.'
It was a long leave-taking, and they flnal

News of what -Wrs happening went don
stalrs and out into the street. It was rc-celx-ed
everywhere with tears.
"They are' saying good-by to each
other," people' whispered in the streets
along those crowded blocks near tho house.
Every ono was thinking of what their Hfo.
had been; of theintense. beautiful devotion
of each to the other; 'of what a tender chiv

without feeling the eyes hot under the lids
and a lump In the throat.
In that room it was. for the moment, not
the head of the mightiest nation on earth
who was dying, it was a husband and lover
standing by the darkrlverand, giving the
last .look of love to' that sad. lonely, invalid
woman to whom bis smile and cheerful
words were literally the breath of life.
The President himself fully realixed that
his hour had come and his mind was turned
to his Maker. He whispered feebly. "Nearer,
my (Jod. to thee." tho words of the hymn
always dear to his heart. Then In faint
ncenls he murmured, "Good-by. all; good
by. It Is God's way. His will be done, not
ours."
With this sublime display of Christian for
titude the President soon after lapsed into
unconsclousnea?.
Grlcf-StrlcUcn Cabinet.
Tho members of the Cabinet, grlef-strlck-cn,
were gathered In the largo drawing
room of the Milburn house. The time had
romo when they, too. were to look upon the
President for the last time In life.
They ascended the stairway one'after the
other, noiselessly approaching the threshold
of the chamber where the dying man lay,
and gazed within. Those who came first
turned back appalled and overwhelmed, and
did not pass within tho chamber.' Secretary
Wilson remained below, unwilling to have
Imprinted on his memory the picture of bis
expiring ciiicr. secretary Long, wno arrivea
on a late train, went at once to the cham
ber and passed directly to' the bedside of
the President, grasping the hand that was
already clammy with approaching' death.
Meantime the President .had lapsed Into a
state of complete unconsciousness and It
was only a question of hours, perhaps min
utes, when the end would come.
Entered the Vnlley of Death.
At : o'clock Doctor Rlxey was the only
physician In the death-chamber. The others
were In an adjoining room, while the rela
tives. Cabinet officers and nearest friends
were gathered In silent groups In tho apart
ments below. As he watched and waited
Doctor Rlxey observed a slight, convulsive
tremor. The President had entered the val
ley of the shadow of death. Word was at
