BERLIN', Sept. 6. King Edward was traveling from Frankfort to Hamburg when the news of the attempt on the life of President McKinley was received and a telegram was at once dispatched to meet him. acquainting him with the deed. The Altona-KIel Railway was strongly guarded by a large force of police, and -it cannot be doubted that this latest anarchistic at

tempt will result In the redoubling of police precautions upon the continent in view of the various imperial meetings now happenings. If there had ever been any 111 ellhood that the Czar would go to Paris, it may now be regarded as a certainty that he will, not go. He had already decided yesterday to return direct to Russia. CONSTERNATION IN PARIS. Comment of the Morning Newtvpnpcra on the Crime. PARIS, Sept. 6. The news of the attempt on President McKinley reached Paris too late for publication in this afternoon's papers and consequently it was not known outside of newspaper circles, but there it created a feeling of consternation. Mr. McKinley was considered the last person in the world in danger of assassination. It can safely be predicted that the news will create a tremendous sensation in Paris tomorrow, and the United States is sure of receiving every mark of sympathy from Frenchmen of all shades of opinion, as the President was always considered a friend of France. Articles in the four leading organs of French opinion, the Figaro, the Matin, the Gaulois and the Eclaire breathe this sympathy. The Gaulois says: "We feel the necessity of expressing to the great people of the Unltod States, to whem so many ties unite us, our sympathy with them and horror at the crime that has cast them into mourning: but the great faith of this grand people in God will enable them again to recover themselves and pursue the course of their destinies." The Matin speaks with particularly kindly appreciation of Mr. McKinley's personal and political modesty and the purity of his home life, and concludes Its article as follows: "Hazard is often cruel and unjust, but never more so that when it allows a criminal madman to kill, in the name of some abominablo ideal of liberty, the most democratic of the freest people." The Figaro pays a warm tribute to the personal honesty of Mr. McKinley, but sees In him a repxesentative of the spirit of trusts and protection, and asks whether the explanation of the crime is not to be found in the fact that Mr. McKinley personified in the eyes of the crowd aristocracy and wealth. "Nevertheless," says the Figaro, "France joins In the anguish and Indignation of the American people because, although McKinley was lirst responsible for the bills which restricted commercial relations between the two peoples, he afterward consented to mitigate this regime and renewed the current of trade between them. We remember the affectionate telegrams that McKinley sent to the President of France at the time of the peace negotiations between Spain and the United St2tes and the conciliatory and humane policy of America In China, while Mr. McKinley has been astonishing the world by his moderation and spirit of justice in the dispute between Colombia and Venezuela. We, therefore, express the sincerest wishes that America may be spared mourning." The Eclairo declares that the attempt to assassinate the President will arouse as much indignation and condemnation in France as in the United States, and recalls the sympathy expressed by the American people at the time of the assassination of President Carnot. Crented a Painful Impression. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 6. The news of the attempt upon President McKinley created a painful impression at Fredensborg. Emperor Nicholas, King Christian of Denmark and Kink George of Greece dispatched telegraphic messages of sympathy for Mrs. McKinley. AS VIEWED IN CANADA. Sorrow and Horror Expressed and Illch Itegnrd for the President. OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 6. There was deep sorrow throughout the country when the news of the attempted assassination of President McKinley reached here. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was holding a conference with Governor Ross, of Yukon Territory, when the bulletin was placed in his hands. He was greatly shocked and expressed his sorrow. Mr. Sifton, Dr. Borden and Mr. Blair were also in their ornce when the news was brought to them, and they, who had recently visited the Buffalo exposition, also shared the feelings which were voiced by the premier. David Mills, being interviewed, said: "Tho people of Canada will feel profound sorrow t the almost assassination of Mr. McKinley, and the sorrow will be increased If the attempt prove fatal." GLORIES IN DEED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) protested that he never even thought of perpetrating tho crime until this morning. After long and persistent questioning it was announced at police headquarters that the prisoner had made a partial confession which he had signed. As near as can be learned to-night the facts contained in the confession are as given at the opening of this article. The would-be assassin is twenty-eight years old, stands five Xeet nine inches high, weighs ICO pounds, has dark brown hair, blue eyes, smooth face, regular features and prominent nose, lie speaks very good English. Czolgosz has a father living on a farm about eight miles from Cleveland. He is unmarried himself. lie wears the button and claims to be a member of the "Golden Eagles." e NOT KNOWN AT DETROIT. ainn Answerlnir the Anarchist's Description Once Boarded There. DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 6. Every possible clew has been run down by the local police without any Information being obtained with regard to Fred Nieman. Every mai In the city by the name of Nieman, or anything resembling it, has been looked up by the officers, and late to-night Lieutenant Sadler, of the detective department, said he was convinced Nieman does not live In this city. All the haunts of the local Anarchists have been visited, and no one can be found who has ever heard of Nieman. Late to-night it was discovered that a man named Alfred Nieman had boarded at ITS

Russell street up to two weeits ago, when he left for Buffalo. The description of Fred Neiman was read to Alfred Nieman's former landlady and she declared it fitted him excepting that Alfreds hair was not dark, but medium brown, wavy and thick. He wore it brushed back off his forehead. He also had very white, even teeth. Alfred Nieman was a wagon worker. Held br Artillerists. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The War Department to-night received the following telegram from Capt. John B. Wiser, commanding the Seventy-third Company of Coast Artillery at Buffalo: "President shot at recetplon In Temple of Music about 4 p. m. Corporal Bertschey and detail of men of my company caught the assassin at once and held him down till the secret-service men overpowered him and took the prisoner out of their hands, my men being unarmed. Condition of President not known. Revolver in my possession. WISER. Commanding." ASSASSINATION PREDICTED.

Cornet Tlayer Snld Last March, that Anarchist Had Marked McKinley. WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 6. Fritz Huttman, a reporter for tho Eagle of this city, while singing with the Andrews Opera Company last March, says he was confidentially told by Antonio Maggio, a cornet player with the same company, that President McKinley would be assassinated before October. Maggio intimated that orders to that effect had been received from an Anarchist society in Rome, Italy. Huttman was a tenor singer with the Andrews Opera Company, and is a son of the late Colonel Huttman, internal revenue collector in this city under President Cleveland. In his statement to-night he said: "While traveling In February or March, between Abilene, Tex., and El Paso, Tex., Antonio Maggio, a cornet player for the company, told me that he belonged to an anarchistic circle with headquarters in Rome Italy. He told me that President McKinley and Emperor William were doomed to assassination, and that men had already been selected to kill them. " 'The time is not yet for the assassination of the Emperor,' he said, 'but President McKinley will be killed before Oct. 1 " 'Why?' I asked. " 'Because he sent soldiers Into the Philippines as King Humbert sent soldiers to kill the natives of Africa. All who seek to oppress must die.' "I thought he was merely romancing at the time, but now I believe that he was not. He also told me that the circle had assassins in the household of the Emperor of Germany. Maggio also told me that he expected some day to bo called on to kill a tyrant, and that when he is it will be the proudest moment of his life." WORK OF AN ANARCHIST. Views of Secret-Service Ofilcers, Who ThlnU There Was a Plot. WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. It is the opinion of the secret-service officials in this city that the shooting of the President is an outcropping, in some obscure way, of the Haymarket rits, and that it will be found eventually that Nieman, the wouldbe assassin, has some connection with the group of persons associated in the Chicago Anarchists riots. The secret-service officials are of this opinion because of the name of the man and the fact that he is probably from the general section of the country as some of the Haymarket participants. The Secret-service Bureau had the Paterson (N. J.) group of Anarchists very thoroughly under surveillance, and are confident that Nieman has no association with these people. Three secret-service operatives were In Buffalo about the President at the time of the shooting, and another was on the way to Cleveland. While the theory of the secret service here is as stated, at the same time no facts concerning the matter are at this time known to the Secret-service Bureau, so it is conceded to be but a surmise at present that they belong to the Haymarket gang. ARRESTS AT CHICACJO. Six .Men Charged with Reins; Implicated In the Plot. CHICAGO, Sept. 6. Six men were placed under arrest in this city to-night on the charge of being implicated in tho plot to assassinate President McKinley. The men were all found in one house at the corner of St. Johns place and Carroll avenue on the west side of the city. The arrests were made on information from the police officials of Buffalo, who said that the men were members of a society to which the assailant of the President belonged, and that they had knowledge of the plot. The police have not jet given out the names of the men taken into custody, but one of the men is known to be Abraham Isekk, president of an organization which bears the name of the Free Society. He was formerly editor of a paper of anarchistic principles which bore the name of the Firebrand. The information received by the local police from Buffalo is to the effect that the plot to kill the President v,as originated among the members of the Free Society and that the Buffalo prisoner was chosen by lot to commit the crime. There were five men and three women in the place where the arrests were made. Tho men were congregated in a meeting hall on the second floor and appeared to be discussing some serious matter. They were so completely surprised by the invasion of the police that they had no time to make any resistance. Isekk is supposed by the police to have been the leader of the men assembled, but when he was questioned he refused to make any statement. On the way from the house to the patrol wagon one of tho prisoners cursed the officers and declared that he was an Anarchist and was proud of It. The three women In the house, Isekk's wife and daughter and a woman visitor, were subsequently arrested. The building in which the raid was made Is a two-story and basement stone-front structure In the factory' district. On the first floor Is situated Isekk's printing office, in which cuts of leading Anarchists were found. The windows were decorated

with lithographs of leading Anarchists, and numerous publications denouncing the present form of government and the Judges who had Issued Injunctions against the strikers were found. The arrests were made by Chief of Detectives Colleran, assisted by three of his officers. Captain Colleran said, after the taking of the men to the Central police station for examination, that he had arrested them upon information from Buffalo, but what the nature of the information might be he declined to say. He would not admit that he had received any intimation that the assailant of the President had made a confession implicating in any way the men arrested here. A quite general impression outside of the office of Captain Colleran is that there was no special reason for arresting the men, save for the general character of their teachings and writings. Oscar Ntebe, one of the Anarchists convicted of complicity in the Haymarket riot, said to-night that there was no plot of the Anarchists to murder President McKinley. He declared that the assailant of the President was either a crank or an Insane man. "No good could result from killing President McKinley," Neebe declared, "because he is a good man, and, as far as a man in his position can be, he is for the masses of the people." Mrs. Lucy Parsons, whose husband was executed for his part in the Haymarket riot, said, as did Neebe, that there was no plot of the Anarchists to harm the President. If there was she had no knowledge concerning It. "No man," she declared, "who has the true principles of anarchy In his heart would attempt to injure President McKinley. He is a good President, who listens to the voice of the people and tries to do his best for them." Mrs. Parsons expressed a strong hope that the President would recover.

Arrested ami Released. BUFFALO, Sept. 6. Five alleged Anarchists were arrested here this evening and locked up at police headquarters. They were later released. At police headquarters no information was to be had relative to the arrest of Anarchists in Chicago. Neither the chief of police nor the assistant could be seen, and the sergeants In charge declined to talk. NO REGRET AT PATERSON. Annrchists Tonst the AYou Id-Be Assassin of the President. NEW YORK. Sept. C.-As a whole, the Anarchist group of Paterson, N. J., express no regret at the shooting of President McKinley. On the contrary, there was a great gathering of the members to-night at Bartholdi Hall in that city, and Neiman. who shot the President, was toasted in beer time and time again. All of tho talkative members of the group say Neiman is unknown to them. One of them said: "We do not know him, but he is one of us. He did what it was his duty to do, and we honor him, while personally thinking his effort might better have been employed across the ocean upon some crowned head." They all deny there is any truth to the report that at any time President McKinley was included in the plots to assassinate heads of nations. They claim that President McKinley's life was never declared forfeit ed by them, and that the work of to-day is that of another branch of their organization. Petro Es-ieve, who in the past h is glorlrd in each killing of a head of a nation or in any attempt, was very loud to-night in his denials of any participation by the never heard of him." Esteve said. "lie Is probably some German lunatic and fool." Tht first question asked in Paterson when news of the shooting of the' President was received was whether or not the assailant was from that city. The feeling among the citizens outside of Anarchist circles is one of the deepest Indignation, this being heightened by the fact that the plot to slay King Humbert was hatched there. There is much talk there to-night of attempting to devise means to drive the Anarchists out of that city. ALMOST MOUUi:i). ChicnKOHii Who Shouted for Joy Over At tempted A tun xi tint ion. CHICAGO, Sept. C Shouting his joy over the attempted assassination of President McKinley, Fred Gardner precipitated a riot in front of the newspaper windows in Washington street to-night. Gardner, who narrowly escaped being killed by the infuriated mob of sorrov-!trick-n Htlzens, owes his pre-serva tion to Policeman Michael Mulcahy. Muleahy rescued hin: after he had been knocked down, kicked and beaten, and chasrd into a basement saloon, win re he fought like a maniac a score of men who were enraged sufficiently to want his life. After the officer arrived Gardner was led down tho street to the antral police station, still followed by an angry crowd, who begged and pleaded with the policeman to allow them to vent their vengeance on the prisoner. ALMOST A LYNCH!;. You nur Man Firwt Itenten mid Then C'liiiscd hy 11 .Mob. TACOMA, Wash.. Sept. 6. A stranger, reading the bulletins of the President's condition to-night, remarked defiantly to the crowd about him: "That's good. He ouht to have been shot long ago." An old man wearing a G. A. R. button leaped out of the crowd and struck the young man. He fell to the ground like a log and the veteran pounced upon him. He pounded the man unmercifully, while the crowd shouted approval. 1'inally he arose and the young man got away. Immediately the crowd took up the cry of "Lynch him!" and started in pursuit. The man ran across the Eleventh-street bridge and into the country, with a rapidly diminishing crowd in pursuit. He finally escaped. Small Riot lit Columbus. COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 6. There was a small riot on High street, to-night, resulting from the rabid talk of a Socialist agitator named Adams, lie was in a crowd which had collected in front of a window where bulletins were being displayed and attempted to defend the culprit who shot the President, saying the country had been oppressed long enough. Ho was ordered away and as he started to go tho cr,owd followed, kicking and striking him. The chase was a hot one for several blocks when a policeman rescued Adams and escorted him to a place of safety. Probably Plotted in Cleveland. CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 6. Two men Tere put in the sweat box by the local police to-night in connection with the Buffalo Anarchists. One of the men Is Michael Goldsmith, a local labor agitator, and the other's name is not known. The latter has promised the local police to find several accomplices of the assailant of the President, and they are of the opinion that the plot against the President was hatched in this city. Rejoicing Annrchists Mobbed. PITTSBURG, Kan., Sept. 6.

THE PORTE ACTS PROMPTLY RELATIVE TO AnillCTION OF MISS STONE I1V IlItltiANDS. Important British Snceess In Sonth Africa Kiii Edward's IllnessGold Medal for Marconi. BERLIN, Sept. 6. President McKinley's speech at Buffalo attracts general attention here, though few of the evening papers comment upon It. The Post says: "It is striking that President McKinley expresses himself decisively for the extension of American markets and correspondingly will no longer exclude the products of other nations to the United States with a high tariff wall. The Dingley tariff period appears therewith to be approaching its end, particularly since the people of the United States are gradually reaching the conclusion that It is by no means advantageous for commercial deveoipment If a country insists upon producing everything at home. Mr. McKinley knows very well why the United States has hitherto been behind in the competition with other countries. He also knows the means for preventing the same conditions in tha future and insists upon applying the remedy." The Vossische Zeitung sees in the speech evidence that the United States is ready to adopt the commercial treaty policy, which Germany followed so successfully under Chancellor von Caprlvi. The paper admits the extraordinary economic progress of the United States and concludes. "It will be singular if Germany adopted a high tariff system at the very moment when the traditional country of that system Is preparing a freer policy and comnuvrcial treaties." The Deutsche Tages Zettung says: "There is absolutely no occasion to suppose that President McKinley is about abandoning the prohibitive system." The speech is much commented on on the bourse, where Mr. McKinley s advocacy of a subsidiary bill is interpreted as meaning competition for German lines. Thereupon the transportation shares weakened. The Lokal Anzeiger Börse report sa: "The great republic's rapidly growing productive power compels the radical protectionist McKinley to break with the old love and turn in the direction of free trade. Herein is u new proof of ankee common sense and adaptability." London Editors Speak Ilitlerly. LONDON, Sept. C The vast ambitions of the United States, as deduced from what the St. James Gazette calls President McKinley's sensational speech at Buffalo, continue to be the theme of the London editorial writers. 'As military power and commercial enterprise must go hand in hand," says the St. James Gazette, "the importance of the statements upon the world of politics as revealing the new epoch upon which America is entering must be immense." The Evening Standard asks if the reference to the isthmian canal "is a hint to j England that the Clayton-Buhvt r treaty will have to go. It looks like it." The paof our times." The GloLc thinks President McKinley's programme forecasts the severe rivalry which llreat Hrltam must expect from the United States, amounting, as the paper believes, to a definite abandonment of extreme protection." 1 w ALL KILLED OR CAPTl RED.

CAREER OF A GREAT MAN WILLIAM M'KINLEV AS CITIZEN, SOLDI KU AND STATESMAN'. Trnlts and Characteristics of a Man Who lins Servel His Conntry Well In .Many Positions. William McKinley was born at Nlles, Trumbull county, Ohio, on Jan. 29, 1M3. After attending the public schools, he went to Poland Academy, and sub?euuently to Allegheny Academy, but before attaining his majority had become a teacher In the public schools. On June 11, 1S61, when he was in his nineteenth year, he enlisted as a private in the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteers, becoming commissary sergeant on April IZ, second lieutenant on Sept. 23 of the same year; first lieutenant on Feb. 7, 1SG3; and captain on July 25, 1S64. He served successively on the staffs of Gens. R. B. Hayes, George Crook, and Wlnfield S. Hancock, and towards the close of the war was detailed as acting assistant adjutant general of the First Division, First Army Corps, on the staff of Gen. S. S. Carroll. He was brevetted major of volunteers for gallantry in battle In March, 1SG3, and in July following was mustered out of the service. Major McKinley then applied himself to the study of the law, which he completed by a course at the Albany, N. Y., Law School. In 1SG7 he was admitted to the bar and settled at Canton, O., In the practice of his profession, that town since remaining his home. In 1S63 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Stark county, but served only one term in that oiBce. In 1ST6 he made his entrance upon the field of national politics and was elected a member of the lower house of Congress, in which for the next fourteen years he represented the congressional district of which his county was a part. As chairman of the ways and means committee he reported the tariff law of 150, in the preparation of which he took a leading part, and it has always been known by his name.
