Is Garried G uino and Moaning to the Death Cell to Await His

i . ,. ,.
Auburn, N. Y.. Sept. 28
Czolgosz was taken from Buffalo
in a special car attached tc u.
New York Central train and ac
companied by a squad of deputy
sheriffs. His last ride was made
as comfortable as possible,
though tKe luxury of a sleeper
was denied him. An ordinary
day coach was his private car.
The prisoner was locked in it
and carefully guarded, while the
blinds were closely drawn, giving
the coach the appearance of a
sleeper as it flew through the
darkness.
Czolgosz had to walk only
across the street to his car, which
was backed up by a switch en
gine on a branch road which
runs past the jail. It was 9:45
when the car stopped near the
prison. Czolgosz, handcuffed to
Jailer Matthews and surrounded
by Sheriff Caldwell and a bunch of
deputies, came out 'by the rear
door. The condemned man
stepped out quickly and walked
briskly across the street as if
glad to quit the scene of his re
cent confinement. Without urg
ing he stepped aboard - the car
and was soon lost to view forever
to the people of Buffalo. Down
through the yards the car
was drawn and iuto the sta
tion, where ten days before the
body of President McKinley was
placed on the funeral train.
As the news spread rapidly
that the prisoner ws about, a
crowd gathered about the car
but made no demonstration as
the train pulled oufof the station.
In his car the assassin, seat
ed beside Jailer Mitchell, leaned
back against the soft cushioned
seat and puffed away at a cigar
as contentedly as if he were
starting on a pleasure trip. He
rode out of Buffalo smoking and
chatting with his guards.
Every effort was made by the
authorities to get Czolgosz out of
Buffalo secretly. Sheriff Cald
well and his deputies succeeded
in evading a public demonstra
tion at the departure of the as
sassin from the city of his crime
and trial, but about a dozen news
paper correspondents were on
hand.
While on the way to Auburn
under the soothing influence of a
cigar and while surrounded by a
chatty company of officers and
correspondents Czolgosz threw
off his reserve and talked of "his
crime. The occasion was proba
oly the last time in the life of the
murderer that ho could enjoy the
companionship Jof fellow beings
under such conditions of approx
imate freedom from restraint and
he seemed inclined to make the
most of it.
'I am sorry I done it," the
malefactor finally blurted out in
course of his chat. "I wouldn't
do it again and I would not have
done it if I had known what I
was doing."
The appalling admission that
the life of the president of the
United States had been sacrificed
to a mere whim, instead of even
a fiendish impulse, fell with
great force upon those who
heard it.
The prisoner did not seem to
realiz3 the additional feelings of
revulsion he had provided in the
breasts of the listeners. He was
absorbed in his cigar and his
thoughts. Presently he rambled
ahead:
"It is awful to feel you have
killed somebody. I wish I had
not dene it. I would like to live,
but I can't'now. I made my mis
take. I was all stirred up and
felt I had to kill him. I never
thought of doing it until a couple
of days before. I did not tie the
handkerchief on my hand. I
only dropped it over the gun. i
did not think it looked like a sore
hand, but did not suppose I
would be stopped, because the
gun did not show. I did not try
to kill him at Niagara Falls. I
did not tell nobody and nobody ,
set me on. I did it all myself "
The prisoner lapsed into quiet
but replied to questions.
44You believe in anarchy?" he
was asked. '
"Oh, yes. I studied those
questions for years. I believe
the rich have too many rights
and the poor top few. I did -not
think of killing any one, though,
until just before I did it."
'You believe in revolution,
then?''
'Oh, yes. The ballot is no
good."
"Did voa know Count Mala
testa or Madame Brusigloli or
foreign an
other
Brt sei or any
archists?"
No, I heard of them, but I
never met them. 1 knew a lot of
them in Cleveland but nowhere
else I did not know any one
from Paterson."
4I knew Emma Goldman and
some others in Chicago. I heard
Emma Goldman speak in Cleve
land. None of those people ever
told me to kill anybody. No
body told me that. I done it all
myself."
"What do you think of your
trial?"
"It was all surprising to me.
It rcas more than I expected. I
thought I would be sentenced
right off. What ol heard there
was more than I had heard of be
fore. I hated to hear about the
wound and all that. I felt glad
I killed him and then I felt sorry
he did not live after I shot him."
"Had you thought of-Mrs. Mc
Kinley?" "Why, only that she had not
oaght to be so privileged and get
so much."
"Did you know the shock near
ly killed her?"
The assassin looked up ques
tioningly, hesitatingly.
"I would be sorry if she died,"
was all he said.
"Would you like to have :i
priest before you die, or a minis
ter?" This question was a poser for
anarchist. For years he had the
affected to despise the Christian
religion. Now he needed com
fort. A shade of reminiscent ex
pression passed over his coun
tenance that he was thinking of
childhood days when with inno
cent untainted faith he sought
and obtained comfort from the
father confessor.
Finallyr he broke the spell.
"Maybe a priest," he faltered.
That was all.
The moment seemed to repre
sent a crisis in the inner life of
the assassin. His questioners
respected his silence as sacred
and troubled him no more.
The party arrived in Auburn
at 3j15 a. m. The prison is only
about fifty yards from the depot.
Awaiting the arrival of the train
was a crowd of about two hun
dred persons. Either for fear
of the crowd, which was not very
demonstrative, or from sight of the
prison, Czolgosz ' legs gave out and
two deputy sheriffs were compelled to
practically carry the man into the
prison.
Inside the gate his condition be
came worse and he we s dragged up
the stairs and into the main hall. . He
was placed in a sitting posture on the
bencli while the handcuffs were beinsr
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most ab
ject terror.
As soon as the handcuffs were un
locked the man was dragged into the
principal keeper's office. As in the
case of all prisoners, the officers im
mediately proceeded to strip him and
put on a new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz
cried and yelled, making the prison
corridors echo with evidence of his
terror. The prison physician, Dr.
John Gerin, examined the man and
ordered his removal to the cell in the
condemned row, which he will occupy
until lie is taken to the electric chair
The doctor declared that the man
was suffering from fright and terror,
but said that he was shamming to
some extent. The collapse of the
murderer was a surprise to every one.

PKOSt EROUS
CONDITIONS
Secretary Gage Talks of Satis
factory Contrast.
rive Years Xqo There was a Treas
ury Deficit; Now the Government is
Able to Buy its Own Bonds,. Thus
Reducing Debt and Interest Charges
Roosevelt's Energy Commended.
Chicago, 111?., Sept. 23 "The
fioances of the country were
never in a more satisfactory con
dition than now. The country
is prosperous, money is plentiful,
industries are active, and there
is a surplus in the treasury. The
country at large, as well as finan
cial, commercial, and industrial
circles, has the fullest confidence
in President Roosevelt."
Lymau J. Gage, secretary of
the treasury, thus summed up
the prevailing conditions in the
United States yesterday, as he
sat on the porch of his son's
house in Evanstcn. Mr. Gage
arrived in Chicago yesterday
morning from Washington and
went from the train to the First
National bank, where he was ac
corded a hearty welcome by the
clerks and chiefs of departments
who had been associated with
the bank when he was at its head.
The secretary is in excellent
health. He said he was taking
his customary vacation to recup
erate from the fatigues of official
duty.
"I expect to be gone about ten
days,' said Secretary Gage, "and
if I have the time to spare I may
attend the bankers' convention
at Milwaukee, Oct. 16. It is not
certain, and is entirely provision
al on the necessity for my pres
ence in Washington.
"There is little to say on finan
cial affairs. In a general way it
may be said that the conditions
are better than for a number of
yeirs. The contrast with five
years ago is mark d. Then there
was a deficit in tl.e ireasury; now
there is a surplus. The govern
ment has mon-y lying idle, and
is, therefore, buying up its own
bonds on the open market to
save interest.
"Recently we have purchased
12,000,000 v.-orth of bonds. Then
the treasury has distributed
about $3,000,000 among the banks
of the country in exchange for
their notes, bringing the required
deposits on circulation up to par.
There was about 05 per cent, of
authorized issue in circulation.
This shows a healthy demand
for money throughout the coun
try. I see no reason why this state
of affairs should not continue.
AH kinds of industries are active,
land new enterprises are being
started. Affairs could hardly be
in a more satisfactory state after
the great calamity which came
so recently upon the nation.
"President Roosevelt is taking
hold of the details of his office m
an energetic way, and is rapidly
mastering the details in every
department of the government.
I have no doubt that the country
will continue prosperous under
him. The cabinet will remain as
it is for the present at least.
The members were requested to
continue in office, and, so far as
I know, will do so. -For myself,
I can say that I shall be glad to
do all in my powTer to aid Presi
dent Roosevelt.
"When I left Washington af
fairs had about resumed their
normal routine. The capital is
recovering from the shock of
President McKinley's death, and
the departments may be said to
be settling down to their ordin-
ary work. The same may be
said of the whole country. It is
a remarkable thing, and shows
the stability of our institutions,
that the sudden and cruel taking
off of our president affected the
financial world so little."
More Wage-Raising.
Fall River, Ma9s , Sept. 26
The announcement that M. C.
D. Borden of New York, owner
of the American Print works and
other factories, contemplates a
five per cent, increase in wages,
is the chief subject under discus
sion here. The new wage sched
ule is to go into effect next Tues
day.

Some ol the Questions Facing President Roo.ev It are the Trade
Relations With Guba and tnr Retention ot Pension
Commissioner Evans.
Washington, D. C. Sept 27
One of the most serious problems
with which President Roosevelt
has to contend relates to Cuba
What are to be the trade rela
tions between that country and
this? Shall there be free trade
or a tariff? That portion of his
message to congress dealing
with Cuba will be the hardest to
write and will give him the most
anxiety. Secretary Root, the
most conspicuous member of the
cabinet, is said by prominent re
publican members of the house
to favor Cuban free trade. The
sugar trust is also in favor of
free trade, for it owns the major
ity of Cuban sugar plantations
and controls the rest. The presi
dent, in his Minnesota speech,
said that he was determinedly
opposed to trusts. Will that op
position lead him to adopt a Cu
ban policy different from one he
otherwise would have adopted?
The tobacco trust is not so for
tunate as the sugar trust for its
holdings in Cuba are relatively
small. It is therefore opposed to
Cuban free trade. This is one
of the knotty factors in the Cu
ban problem. The president's
announcement regarding Cuba
will be awaited with very general
interest, just as Mr. McKinley's
would have been.
In the president's reception
room at the white house the
other day sat a captain in the
regular army. Several Minne
sota representatives had just fin
ished their visit with Roosevelt,
and were starting to go away
when Representative Heatwole,
who had known the officer for
several years, stopped and ask
ed him:
What are you doing at the
white house?''
"Waiting to tell the colonei
good by'
"What colonel?" asked Mr.
Heatwole.
"Colonei Roosevelt," said the
captain.
"I am on my way to Cuba, and
want to pay my respects, and at
the same time assure hiin that
the men who fought with him at
San Juan Hill have not forgot
ten his gallant conduct on that
day. I was there, and remem
ber that during a part of the
fight the bullets were flying as
thick, as hail. Within twenty
minutes my regiment lost 25 per
c int. of its men, and out of nine
teen officers saved only nine.
Roosevelt was in the thick of the
fight, and paid no more attention
to the shower of bullets than if
they had been drops of rain. He
didn't bat an eye or move a
muscle, He had more self
control, I thought at the time,
than any man I ever had seen
in action. To the men who
seen in action. To the men who
fought with him in Cuba he will
alwa3Ts be known as the colonel,
and so it happens that I said to
you just now that I was waiting
to tell the colonel good-by."
President McKinley was pecul
iarly free from the handicap of
"personal representatives" on
the floors of the house of con
gress. In the senate no one pre
sumed to represent him officially.
Senator Hanna, closer to him
than any other in the country
politically, seldom made a speech
and when he did there was noth
ing in it suggesting the president
It was all Hanna. In the house,
Representative. Grosvenor, for
some reason which is past find
ing out, for a time was credited
with being the "personal repre
sentative" of the president; but
he wasn't. He was no closer to
him and enjoyed his confidence
in no larger way than a score pf
men in that body whoso names
are known to everybody. Presi
dent Roosevelt, it is assnmed by
those who know him best, will
be as little inclined to want
spokesmen in congress.
It is said that the ultra anti
Evans wing of the Grand army
of the republic proposes to take
up this year withPresident Roose
velt the contest so unsuccessfully
made with President McKinley
for the removal of Evans. It is
also said that Roosevelt does not
propose to interfere in the mat
ter. He will sav that since he is
not in a position to know any
thing about the merits of the
case from personal observation,
and is not a member of the or
ganization, he does not feel war
ranted in trying to solve the
problem. He will point to the
well known fact that Mr. Evans
has the indorsement of what
seems to be the conservative,
and therefore the strongest, ele
ment in the Grand Army body,
and says that nntil the veterans
can get together they ought not
to expect executive interference
or action. Meanwhile Mr. Ev
ans, should he choose to do so,
will continue to discharge the
duties of his office.
Much interest, as far as the G.
A. R. is concerned, attaches to
the policy yet to be announced,
of the new commander-in-chief,
Judge Torrance, of Minneapolis.
As is known, the national en
campment in Cleveland, when
on the point of taking up the
regular business of the order,
adjourned out' of respect to
President McKinley, who had
just died. Judge Torrance and
the other officers had been
elected, but this is as far as the
work of the encampment had
been carried. All business mat
ters including the report of the
pension committee, were referred
by the encampment, with power
to act, to Judge Torrance and
the newcouncil of administration.
They will take them up in a few
weeks and begin to announce the
Grand Army policy for the com
ing year. That announcement
will have a strong influence on
the anti-Evans agitation in
Washington, which always gets
under way about the time. con
gress convenes.
As a candidate for commander-in-chief,
Judge Torrance occu
pied conservative middle ground
between two bitter extremes, and
this, by the way. was what led
to his triumphant election on the
first ballot, theorder feeling that
it could not afford, in view of all
circumstances, to commit itself
to an indorsement of Gen. Sick
les or of Gen. Stewart. The for
mer represented all the bitter
fight that has been made on Ev
ans, and indirectly on McKinley
for retaining Evans. The latter
represented the friends of
Evans. Indeed, it was charged
at Cleveland that he was Evan's
personal choice for commander-in-chief.
Judge Torrance
stood betv ?en these two ex
treme positions. When asked
about the pension question, he
replied that he had very decided
views regarding it, but should
refuse to make them the basis
of an appeal for votes. No ote,
therefore, is in position to say
what his pension policy will be
as commander-in-chief. It is not
difficult, however, to believe
that he will not make the spec
tacle of himself and of the order
that was made by his predeces
sor, Gen. Rassieur, whose intern
perant address was a striking
feature, but not a very pleasant
one, of the Cleveland encampment.
Plans For McKinley Monument
Canton, Ohio, Sept. 26
Judge William R. Day and others
of the funeral committee yester
day took steps looking to a per
manent monument organization.
Papers were drawn for incorpor
ation under the laws of Ohio of
the "National McKinley Memo
rial association." It is to be
made national in scope and per
sonnel from the first, and its pur
pose is to build a memorial mon
ument in Westlawn cemetery.
The plan is to have the whole
country unite in defraying the
cost of this tribute, making it a
popular move, rather than to se
cure large appropriations or
contributions in any one quarter.
