Yesterday afttrnoon, at a time when Associated Press bulletins from the bedside of President McKinley at Uuffalo announced that hi3 condition was satisfactory and that he had secured four hours Bleep after 9 o'clock In the morning, the Indianapolis Sentinel placed an extra edition on street sale with headlines declaring that the President was sinking rapidly and his condition was very grave. Hoys were sent throughout the city with papers and Instructed to loudly announce that the Prsident was .'n a dying condition. This they did and fur hours the Journal telephones continuously rang with the anxious inquiries of people who had ben misled Into thinking a cri.sis had been reached In the patient's condition. As bulletins were constantly coming Into this ofllce (and Into the Sentinel office as well) announcing, upon the authority of the Preside nt'8 physicians, his satisfactory condition. Information to that effect was promptly communicated to all inquirers. When people learned that there was absolutely no foundation for the Sentinel's sensational story great indignation was freely expressed by them. Of the written expressions of indignation that reached this oftice last night the following sent in by a prominent citizen is a sample: "I can conceive nothing more disreputable tdnce the miserable attack on Mr. Ulaine's private character than the scheme of the Sentinel this afternoon In taking a telephone message as an excuse to issue an extra and Instruct its boys to fall all over town, 'McKinley sinking. 'President McKinley dying.' I hope you can see your way clear to make its bad odr as prominent as possible." Throughout the early evening boys still carried copies of the Sentinel extra about the streets trying to sell them by crying their falsv Information, while the bulletins In the windows of other newspapers, by their encouraging nature, carried hope to the hearts of an anxious people. 50Y IKSTA17TLY KILLED. XInrrlon nre Hun Doirn ly L. K. A V. .Snitch i;ngine. Harrison Norse, a colored boy ten years of age, was Instantly killed yesterday about 3 o'clock by an L. K. & W. switch engine, near the Twentieth-street crossing. Ills head was crushed and ground from the body. One arm was also crushed off. Young Norse was crossing the tracks, returning to his home at 1014 West Twentieth street. He awaited until a southbouhd passenger train had passed, and then started to run across the tracks, being Mruck by the switch engine, which approached from the opposite direction on an adjacent track. The switch engine was running fast, and was hidden from view by the passenger train. The body was removed to the city morgue by the Dispensary ambulance. WILL NET ABOUT $300. Financial Henult nf the Keeent Labor Day Celebration. The Labor day committee, having In charge the celebration of Labor day and composed of delegates from nearly every union In the city, met yesterday morning to settle the affairs of the committee. A number of the members did net have reports ready, and the auditing of the accounts ws postponed until Thursday of this week. Final settlement will be made next Sunday. The subcommittees which reported showed that the approximate receipts were $l.f. The bills so far as reported aggregate $l.fK. There are yet a few collections to be made and a few bills to be presented. The committee la satisfied with the reports made, and. although the net proceeds are not so great as last year, there will be about $3fo to turn Into the permanent fund. CHRISTIAN F.

In many local pulpits yesterday the pastors alluded feelingly to the attempt made upon the life of President McKinley by the assassin Czolgocz, and In most Instances special prayers were offered for the preservation of the President's life. Anarchy was denounced by most of the preachers and by some strlngest laws were recommended to prevent plots against the lives of men at the head of governments. SCKMO.N O.N ASSASSINATION. Itev. W. W. Crlley See a Lesson In the Word of Jninea. Rev. W. V. Crlley. of the First English Lutheran Church, delivered a sermon to a large congregation yesterday morning, taking for his subject "The Wrath of Man Worketh not the Righteousness of God." He spoke of the attempted assassination of President McKinley and of the conditions that have caused strife between labor and capital and of the war between England and the Boers. He said the latter was unjust and all of the men who had been killed In the war were murdered. Speaking of the subject of the assassination he said in part; "The hatred of man is one of the strongest Impulses working In the human breast since the fall of man. It manifested itself In Cain murdering his own brother. Those outbreaks of anger, which we call wrath, formed a great deal of the history of human nature because they were such prominent acts In making the criminal record of the human race. They have a common origin in the temper which the Bible calls lust and they did not come from our nature In creation.AN INSANE IDEA. "It Is an Insane Idea for a man to attribute them to a divine origin and to claim as Guiteau did, in the assassination of President Garfield, that the Lord had directed him to do the deed. One of the best and clearest refutations of this was that which Judge Porter made In the United States court, which tried Guiteau, when he read the words of James: 'Let no man when he's tempted say that he is tempted of God for God tempted no man with evil, but lust when it Is conceived brlngeth forth sin and sin when it Is finished brigeth forth death. There is no co-operation in such deeds between the wrath of, man and the righteousness of God. "Thtse episodes spring from the general corruption of human nature and the unity of law in law-breaking as James says, 'For whosoever shall offend in one point Is guilty of all.' "Are we not setting the example of breaking the law of God in keeping the Pan-American Exposition open on the Sabbath and teaching men to despise one of the great commandments? And may that not lead to other acts of lawlessness? James speaks in this epistle of the oppression of the poor and may not those who are unfortunate in securing employment and in the pursuits of life attribute them to the oppression of the wealthy and the pleasure-lov'ng and In their Insanity attack even their best friends under the mistaken notion that they are responsible for their lack of success. THE THREE ASSASSINS. "Of the three assassins of Presidents the first was a man of peculiar temperament, who by his life as an actor had become so accustomed to the excitement of the stage and society that he failed to preserve his moral balance and Imagined that our great President was responsible for the evils which the South had brought upon Itself, and so wreaked his vengenance upon him. The second, a disappointed office-seeker, in the heat of political strife, imagined, as the murderer so often does, that he could end It by the violent removal of one of the parties. The third is the deluded boy who now lies unrepentant in hl3 cell unconscious of his great crime committed in the midst of one of the great strikes of modern times who may have been impelled by the same delusion that the representative of authority is responsible for all existing troubles and that anarchy Is the shortest way to liberty. The remedy for these things is to wait in patience in that perfect law of liberty which James speaks when he says: 'But whoso looketh Into the perfect law of liberty and continuance therein being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work this man Is blessed in his deed.' "We rejoice in a special providence that has preserved th life of our President from the a'taeks of man and trust that the many prayers will be answered for his recovery." Rev. Crlley offered a special prayer for the recovery of President McKinley. PRAYERS FOR M'KINLCY. A Special Service Held at the First Baptlat Church. At the, First Baptist Church yesterday morning special prayer was offered for the stricken President. At the beginning of the service Pastor Vlllers, after reading a Scripture selection enjoining his hearers to pray "for kings and all that are In high places," said: "We are overwhelmed with unspeakable sorrow. Our beloved President lies prostrate by the hand of an assassin. In 1SC5 the war passions of men were stirred to blackest depths. National expectation was measurably prepared for an attack on Lincoln's life. In 1SS1. when Garfield was assassinated, there was bitter strife between the President and Senator Conkling. Bad blood was engendered and factional feeling ran high. Under such circumstances a rash act might measurably be expected. But In this era of unbounded prosperity and good will the report cf the Anarchist's revolver at Buffalo struck :s dumb with amazement. We are sick at heart. Mr. McKinley's only crime consists in the fact that he Is President. He Is our chosen representative of law and government. As a citizen, a soldier, a statesman and a Christian gentleman he has lived above reproach. He has been the furthest removed from tyranny and oppression. He is peculiarly a man of tlv peopie. "The last time but on that he was In our city I saw him toop ami shake hand with a Utile girl, then introduce h-r to bLs wife. who. taking a beautiful :!oer from her own tju;ujt. presented it to the child.

The Rev. James A. Knowlton, of Southstreet Baptist Church, alluding to the attempted assassination of the President In his sermon yesterday morning, said: "There has b, in during all the ages and among all people, at least w ith a few, a desire to destroy kings and rulers. The reason lies deep in the wickedness of the heart, and because men attrlhute the disasters which they bring upon themselves to those in authority. During our century twenty rulers have been slain. The Jews, instructed by the Almighty, had a lofty conception of the king, and their rulers and priests were sacred in their sight, yet In spile of this cone ption there were six kings of Judea. including also the kingdom before its division, slain in battle or by the hand of the assassin. Ten emperors out of seventeen during the time from the accession of Augustus to Commodus, years, ware slain or committed suicide. Such a showing at the height of pagan civilization is certainly appalling. "Three of our Presidents In thirty-six years have been struck down by the assassin's bullet. Booth was of Knglish decent, Guiteau was of French extraction, the miserable beast who shot down McKinley was of Polish lineage. The scum of the world is in our land and we may expect anything from such miserable creatures in the shape of men as we harbor. The shooting of President McKinley in a shock to the morals of our Nation. The outrageous deed so distracts and darkens the minds that a generation will be required to recover from its effects. "More than that, it Is a blow to civilization. We boasted in our liberties, in a workingman's paradise, in the stability of popular government. In enlightenment, but in one sad hour the whole sky appears dark. The battles which we have fought for liberty, the treasures we have expended, the blood we have poured out from the veins of our noblest men seem at this time to be in vain. What have we more than the Romans? Are we. In this great age, in this enlightened era, any better off in some respects than the heathen? We boast in our democracy, but it has been the means of sacrificing some of the noblest lives of the century. Law, force and the evils of militarism may be the result of the crimes and assassinations of the last half century. "How could anybody but a fiend shoot so amiable a man as our President? His character cannot be Impeached. His kindheartedness is one of his ennobling traits. Another thing in his makeup is his farsightedness. Men have never been willing to allow that he Is a great statesman, but I ask where Is there a man that has seen deeper Into the nature of things than he? Who has so keenly observed the mind of the people and interpreted their wishes? History will place him as the greatest President since the days of Lincoln. H had the remarkable gift of managing men. No one can tell how, but nevertheless he leads men at his will. Those qualities mentioned in themselves make a man great. Now I do not think the Nation Is going to ruin. I have the greatest confidence In the sound sense of the American people. I have also the greatest trust In the providential guidance of God. We v111 come forth nobler in the end. God save our President and guide our Nation." REV. ALLAN D. PIIILPUTT HEARD. He Discusses the Attempted Assassination of the President. The Rev. Allan B. Phllputt, of the Central Christian Church, said in hl sermon yesterday morning: "Three times in thirty-six years has the chief magistrate of this Nation been struck down by the assassin's bullet, but this crime is the most significant of all. Lincoln' death grew out of the passions of the war. His slayer fancied that he was righting a great wrong. Garfield was murdered by a disappointed and crazy factionist, but President McKinley lies low from the bullet of an Anarchist. This is a blow not at the President, but at government. Henceforth our chief magistrates are to be listed among the tyrants of the world for execution as these miscreants may see fit. It is the duty of the authorities to suppress and exterminate the whole brood of vipers. They uvall themselves of the liberty which our laws give to assassinate the government itseff. Writers and speakers like Krama Goldman are parties to this crime. "We prize free speech and a free press, but it will be quite time enough after we are protected from the dangers of anarchy to consider what limits may be allowed in these directions. The immediate duty of the hour is restriction and suppression. Our perils lie not in the direction of tyranny, but of license. The laws pertaining to assaut upon the person of the President should be changed. If the wound of the President should not prove fatal, which pray God that it may not, there is no punishment for the wretch Czlogocz adequate to his crime. Any sane person guilty of such an attack should meet with swift and summary punishment, with no opportunity to pose as a hero or a martyr. "To-day our prayers go up for one of the kindliest of men and wisest of statesmen. He has born himself like a brave man and he has as he lies upon his bed of suffering the love of the civilized world. Why should such a stroke have fallen upon him? As William McKinley stood in the Temple of Music at Buffalo receiving the plaudits of the people he must have been a happy man. The great trials of his administration had been past, his policy as President in its great outlines had been indorsed by the people, his brave wife had recovered from a dangerous illness and he had a reasonable expectation of closing his public career amid the good wishes of seventyfive millions of his fellow-cltlzens. In a moment ail is changed. May a kindly fate restore him to his beloved country." m ANARCHY AND ASSASSINATION. The Rer. C. E. Edward Pays His Warm Respects to Doth. Rev. C. E. Edwards, pastor of Edwin Ray M. E. Church, in referring to the attempted assassination of President McKinley in his sermon lat night, said: "It is not always easy to speak calmly and deliberately on such a momentous theme. We Americans are prone to intemperance of speech and action. In times of excitement we go from one extreme to the other. It is often, under a great press of excitement, hard to express one's self clearly, especially in the discussion of so atrocious a crime as the assassination of the chief executive of this country. "Assassination Is difficult to discuss under any circumstance, but under the circumstances of last Friday afternoon it is unusually difficult to speak calmly of the subject. When I hear the word 'assassination,' it is unconsciously associated In my mind with that of total depravity. If there be those here who do not believe in the depravity of human individuals, or in a future hell, l would ask them to explain what is to be an adequate punishment for such a character as Czolgocz? 1 say, that after such an exhibition of total depravity, my faith in an old-fashioned hell has been revived. The object of the assassin's hate was. to my mind, our premier American, not because he sits In the chief executive's chair, but because of his innate greatness. UNIVERSAL SADNESS. "If homicide, generally speaking, is despicable and horrible and causes such untold grief to the immediate relatives of the victim, what then can be said of the assassdnation of a man which causes a gloom to settle on the hearts of every individual in this great Nation? That President McKinley is a man of great parts none will deny. I think one of the best evidences of his greatness was his attitude towards the despicable coward who attempted his life. Did not he put forth his hand and ask for mercy for the dastardly assassin and at a time when the ordinary man would have beta Klad to have sten the crowd wrak a summary vengeanev? Say what you will about William McKinley, if h were to tlie to-night Ids place in history is t-ecu re.

IT IS GENERALLY DISCI SSI :d RY CITI7.EXS OF THIS CIT V. People Are Horror-Stricken at the Recent Attempt on Hie Life of the President. ATTORNEY GENERAL TALKS HE DISCUSSES THE IMIOIIAIILE PUNISHMENT OF CZOLGOCZ. A Former State Ofilcer'rs Views of Anarchy Other Discuas This Important Question. The attempt upon the life of President McKinley has aroused citizens generally to the full significance of anarchy in this country, and many suggestions are heard as to how It may best be suppressed. Whenever met: discuss the attempted assassination of McKinley they always have a word to say about the various groups of Anarchists in this country. "You ask what can legally be done with the infamous wretch, Czolgocz," said Attorney General Taylor yesterday. "The first question presented is, can he be tried under any federal law? "Not for treason, because treason is defined by the United Staes Constitution as follows: 'Treason against the United States shall consist only In levying war against them or adhering to their enemies, giving thenaid and comfort. This clause of the Constitution was very fully construed by Chief Justice Marshall in 1S07 while sitting as a trial judge in the treason trial of Aaron Rurr. Marshall In that case gave many definitions of treason, none of which is broad enough to include the crime of Czolgocz. The full bench of the Supreme Court in the Ballman case likewise defined treason, and none of the definitions would include Czolgocz's crime. "Congress has never enacted any law under any of the constitutional powers granted to it that covers this offense. It is a question if Congress has the power to pass any law covering such crime. I believe Congress has such power under the general welfare clause of the Constitution, coupled with the clause giving to Congress- power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper to carry Into effect the powers vested in the government or any department or ortcer thereof. Certainly the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall In the case of McCullough vs. Marvland Is broad enough to uphold a criminal statute based upon these clauses of the Constitution. "If such a law is passed it ought to copy substantially the English law, which provides as follows: 'One who forms and displays by any overt act or by publishing, printing or writing an Intention to kill or destroy the King or to do hjm any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, mayhem or wounding, shall suffer death.' "There being no federal statute applicable, we must look to the New York law. The Constitution of New York defines treason against that State just as does the Constitution of Indiana and each of the other States, respectively, but the language is too narrow to compass this crime. Therefore the statute of New York must be looked to alone. If the President should die, this crime would be defined as murder, and could be punished by electrocution. "If the President should live, the New York statute defines this crime as an assault in the first degree, it being with an Intent to kill, and the maximum punishment for this offense under the New York law is ten years' imprisonment. "Anarchy is not defined by any federal or New York statute." EX-STATE OFFICER'S VIEW. A former State officer said last night: "Anarchists, in organization, profession and deeds are a class of people who are In bitter antagonism to law and social order. Law and social order are the foundation upon which rests security to life and property, as well as of peace and social order. This antagonism has become so bold and avowed that the line of demarkatlon Is easily drawn, and its adherents readily known and classified through the abundant proofs and evidences afforded In their publications, and as a class they may be fully known through well organized detective secret service. With their deadly avowal of hatred, confirmed by repeated menace to life and property, why may not law lay Its hands upon them when it finds them and before the deed is committed, since the declaration is made In advance to do It, which underlies their avowed organism. The suggestion of the Journal to export them to some Island, and to there let them have a taste of society without law and social order is not a bad one. Under such conditions they could soon learn the value of social order, and It might be the cure of the whole tribe. At least, the world would be free from danger, while they would be in such school." JOHN S. DUNCAN'S VIEW. "I believe there ought to be a law enacted making the holding of opinions against good government a felony," declared John S. Duncan last night. "By this I mean that if it can be proved that an individual entertains views inimical to the government regardless of whether he goes about uttering them or whether he publishes them he ought to be punished. In a case like the attack made by the selfconfessed Anarchist Czolgocz I would favor shutting the fellow up in prison for life. I am personally opposed to capital punishment." "What do you think about deporting Anarchists?" Mr. Duncan was asked. "I don't take any stock in that plan at all," he said emphatically. "Why should we go to the expense and trouble of taking such cattle to some remote place and maintaining soldiers there to guard them? I would have them locked up where they could not disseminate their dangerous doctrines. Immolate them from the world. That would be just as severe punishment as death would be." Mr. Duncan was asked if he thought a statute such as he suggested would be constitutional. "I believe it would," he said, "for I think the holding of anarchistic sentiments is akin to treason if not indeed actually treasonable." "IJeyond question there ought to be legislation against anarchy," said J. E. McCullough. "Such legislation should provide severe punishment for teaching of anarchy or any teaching of the right to take the lives of men holding public office. I have no doubt that valid legislation could be enacted making It a crime to assault any public orhVer or to conspire to commit such a crime." Mr. McCullough scouts the idea that Czlogocz conceived and carried oat the plan of assassinating President McKinley without any outside aid. "Why, in the very nature of things." he said, "a man Is not going up to another in a crowd of that kind and shoot him down without having thought about it beforehand and having read literature or listened to speeches advocating such a crime. All literature of that kind ought to be suppressed. It ought to be made a crime to publish that kind of literature. It seems to me entirely clear that u crime such as this savors of treason. What a man thinks he is striking at when he shoots a President is the government, and to attempt to subvert the government is. of course, treasonable. I would also advocate the enactment of State laws agair.st anarchy and the teaching of anarchistic principles." PUBLIC RECEPTIONS. A decidedly striking suggestion was made by Samuel D. Miller. "1 think it Is high time that these public receptions at which every Tom. Dick and Harry can get free access to the President be stopped." he declared. "Of course, under our democratic ideas of government it will probably take a long time for the people to see that this in the right plan to pursue. After all. why should a man that has no acquaintance or business with the President possess the right to approach and shake hands with him any mure than a strängt r should have the risht to enter the office of the president of a coiporath-n wht n he has no ousiness to transact with that olilcial. Of course It

would be better If the President could be free to nu tt the pub.ic wht never he iiks, but since we have such lunatics or criminals as Anarchists among us who are likely to kill a President it they can ;tt close enough to him. wouldn't it be better to remove the temptation from tluir way? ' "A point auout these assassinations of pubiic oilicials that is worthy of noti." Contimit ii .Mr. Miiier. "is that they a. ways or almost always take pi. ice in public. ll steins that your Anarchist is. as a rule, a teliow who dearly loves notoriety and a!.-o something of an actor. Witness the sensational manner in whkh John Wiikcs Booth shot President Lincoln In Kord s Theater Lefore a large audience, and iite. his dramatic exclamation. 'Sic semper tyrannise Guiteau assassin at d Gartuld in the waiting room of th- railroad station at Washington, and he. too. gae utterance to a dramatic cry, "i am a Stalwart and Arthur is President." 1 believe it was. The attack on Piesiuent CariMt, that unon- the Prince of Wales and the one upon the Empress of Austria were all made in public places, and 1 think each was accompanied by some would-be impressive utterance by the man who committed the dastardly crime. President Harrison walked about Washington with perfect impunity and was not molested. The average Anarchist does not care to kill a President when he is alone. There must be a crowd about so that the affair will have a tinge of the spectacular. So I iay that these public receptions ought to be abandoned. They afford the idiot who thinks his mission is to slay public olficials too grtat an opportunity to gratify his infamous passion." Henry N. Spaan favors deportation of Anarchists. "From my reading of history." he said. "I am inclined to the opinion that to put Anarchists in jail or prison simply causes them to regard themselves as martyrs and enables them to 'spread the gospel.' as they term the inculcation of their infernal uoctrines. There is no doubt in my mind that a statute could be enacted making deportation a part of the punishment of such people. The Constitution provides that there shall be no cruel or unusual punishment, but 1 do not think deportation would be held to be a cruel or unusual punishment. I am firmly of opinion that we ought to have more stringent immigration laws. We ought to allow nobody to come over here or to become citizens and remain here that agitates against the government. At the same time I insist that there ought to be no law passed under the guise of which free speech or free meeting could be suppressed. The provisions of the law ought to be very clearly defined. I do not believe in making any laws for the especial protection of public officers. Such legislation would not be wise under our form of government, for 'it would certainly be abused. Why. right here in Indianapolis, we have a city ordinance making it an offense to -resist an officer, and whenever a man talks back to a policeman he is forthwith arrested and charged with resisting an officer. It is so easy to 'resist an officer,' you know. I am personally in favor of making the human race better by sequestering such fellows as Czolgocz and making it impossible for more of them to come Into existence. I think that anarchy and other forms of Insanity are the results of civilization, and that we who- are civilized must wrestle with these problems as best we may. Savages scarcely know what insanity is, but with civilization conditions seem to grow up that encourage various forms of Insanity and degeneration. Czolgocz, in my opinion, 13 a type of degenerate. I do not believe that he is the central figure of a conspiracy at all." TALK WITH A. L. MASON. Augustus I. Mason has given considerable thought to the subject of how best to suppress anarchy and last night he gave expression of his views to a Journal man. "I would think the United States ought," he said, "to take exclusive Jurisdiction of attempts to injure the person of any federal official. The essence of a crime such as that committed by Czolgocz, it seems to me, is treason and whoever advises or encourages the crime Is equally guilty with the one who actually commits it. An act of Congress might define this crime as being an attempt to injure the person of any federal official out of malice toward the government or the execution of its laws. 1 think too that the States might do well to enact laws for the protection of their officials. As to punishment, I think there ought to be a maximum and minimum penalty, the maximum to be either life imprisonment or death. Certainly the punishment ought to be death when an assault is made upon a President. Then, too, I would have suitable appropriations made for the secret service, so that the detectives could hunt out these people of anarchistic sentiments and who teach that it is right and proper to injure the persons of officials and they could be apprehended and punished just as counterfeiters are detected and punished. In that way I think this evil could be rooted out of the country." FUNERAL OF LAURENCE DUNN.

It Will Frobnblr Be Ilelil To-Morrorr Afternoon. The funeral of Laurence Dunn, son of City Controller Jacob P. Dunn, will probably be held at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon from the family residence on North Pennsylvania street. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn will arrive in the city this morning. The body was shipped by express. Laurence Dunn was drowned while in bathing at Nantucket, R. I., where he was spending the summer with his mother. He was in bathing: and slipped from a rock. His cries could not be heard by the others in the water, some distance from him. He was seven years of age. , AT FIRST PRESBYTERIAN. The Lnt Service In the Church Held Last Night. , The last service in the First Presbyterian Church was held last night by the Christian Endeavor Society. The service throughout was commemorative of the last meeting in the old church. To-day the furniture will be removed from the church. The trustees have not yet selected temporary quarters.
