.Special to The Even'nz News. Washington, D. C, Sept. 21 The problem of yellow journalism has challenged the attention of public men. Members of congress who have been in this city during: the McKinley funeral ceremonies have talked of ways and means for correcting by legislation what they unanimously - agree is an evil of dangerous proportions. As yet, uo senator or member of congress has gone 50 far as to frame a bill, and there are some members who express doubt as to whether the matter can be reached in this manner. Public opinion, they believe, is the only remedy. There is no doubt as to what is the public opinion on this subject. Thinking people all over the country have been forced to the conclusion that sensational misrepresentation persistently continued is at least indirectly responsible for such tragedies as the assassination of President McKinley. Jt is a common belief, also, that the present tragedy is to be traced directly to the propaganda of certain journals of New York. Chicago and San Francisco, which have been termed "yellow," and which have been thrust into the faces of decent people from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean in consequence of methods of forced circulation. That such papers breed cranks it is impossible to doubt.. That they engender hatred and direct it against public officials is a fact which cannot be challenged". Congressmen who are -preparing to grapple with this question have noted as signs of the public's opinion a number of recent happenings. For example,, in New York the chamber of commerce met and passed resolutions denouncing the three most offensive papers in that city, and suggesting that there should be a concerted movement among the merchants and the wealthy con- . servative business men to withdraw their support from all newspaper of that character. Editorial utterances of respectable organs from one end of the country to theother, followed by expressions of opinion and formal interviews with leading citizens, leave no doubt as to public sentiment. The sentiment expressed m New York finds an echo in Chicago, San Francisco and in every city where the "yellow" plague has broken out. "The evil of 'yellow journals,' said a congressman to the writer today, "consists in its exciting the worst tastes of the ignorant and depraved. Intelligent readers are not affected by its utterances, nor by the persistent reiteration of false charges against public men. The hideous monstrosity which its cartoons picture as the chief magistrate of the republic to them is merely repulsive. But to the uneducated man or woman coming pos- . sibly from a foreign country and knowing little of our American institutions, these cartoons are taken at their face value. "This man knows that in Austria, Germany, Hungary or Russia the government would riot allow such pictures to be printed, or such charges to be repeated and published, even if based on facts. The fact that they are published every day and repeated in every conceivable form is evidence to his mind that they are true. "He is not a wide reader, and this pestiferous sheet is probably the only literature which he ever reads. He learns from it that the chief magistrate of the country or other high officials are brutes of the worst conceivable type; that they are personally responsible for all of the misery, wretchedness aad poverty of the world. He comes to think of them in this light, and to hold them responsiole for whatever he personally may , lack of the good things in life. "He fondly imagines that even work would be superfluous if it wore not for them. They are tho monsters which conspire to brinrr about all the ills which

In the Minds o! tne lonorant and

flesh is heir to. Their removal would be a blessing to the country and to the world, and a direct benefit to him self So thinks the typical read epof the 'yellow' journal. What wouder that he becomes a grum bler, a discontented member of society, a socialist, an anarchist! "What wonder thai he babbles and breathes threatening over his beer! What wonder that he becomes a narrow fanatic, a rab id enemy to the existing, order of things, and finally a crazy an archist! What wonder there are assassins! Of such is made up the colony in New York, and from such are bred and taught such spawn as Czolgosz." It is the belief of this member of congress arid of others who have expressed themselves, that there should and must be some way for reaching an evil which is so apparent. Care naturally must be exercised in avoiding things which may trench upon the sacred liberties of the press. The right of free speech and of free -criticism of public men and affairs is one that was kept in mind most religiously by the men who laid the foundations of this government, and it is justly regarded as oneof the corner stones of our democratic nation. But it is felt that a distinction can be made between liberty and license, between free speech and unbridled slander, between legit imate journalism and hideous dissemination of hatred and lies. Early in the session of the coming congress it is understood that there will be a conference of the leading members of both houses of congress, regardless of party, to consider the question and talk over ways and means. It is the purpose to approach the matter in a spirit of calmness and independence, being careful to avoid even the appearance of partisanship. There is no difference between republicans and democrats in their views on this subject. Some line cf procedure will be discussed and various bills will be drawn up and introduced in both houses of congress, if it shall be decided that there is any practical way for arriving at the desired result through legislation. Iu the meantime the hope is entertained, in some quarters that the death of the president, charged against the yellow press in an important sense by many men, including Prof. Jacob Cooper, of Rutgers College, in an open letter, will have had an influence to abate the evil. - The Anarchist Sheds Tear?. Buffalo, N. Y , Sept. 25 The trial of the self-confessed guilty anarchist has proceeded regularly and in due form. The formal proof of the shooting in all its details, the subsequent treatment of the president, his death as the inevitable consequence of the wound, the identity of the prisoner and all the facts necessary to make a complete case have been placed before the jury. Czolgosz has lost his stolidity and weeps at the terrible chain of proof that is wound about him. He desires to make a speech at the time sentence is pronounced, but it is doubtful if his nerve will hold out for that purpose. It is anticipated that he may break down and confess fully, giving the names of his coplotters. REDUCED RATES.

IS KING

Wins Three Heats in Four Against the Abbot. NEITHER HORSE IN FORM Two Best Trotters la the World Net aKinloy but Did Nor do Their best and no !?ecord was fractured -Track Slow and Horses out of Condition. Readville, Mass., Sept. 23 The 20.00C purse, hung up at the New England Breeders' meeting: by Thomas AY. Lawson, to be contested for by the two giants of the trotting turf, Cresceus and the Abbot, was won Saturday by the Ketcham horse. Mr. Lawson in giving the purse specified that the gate receipts should be donated to the West End nursery, a charitable institution of Boston. Ten thousand people turned out to see Cresceus and The Abbot race, and almost to a man paid $1 for admission and $2.50 to enter the enclosure and the grand stand. The weather was beautiful, while the track was quite soft from the recent rains. The contest was featureless, as both horses were decidedly out of form. -It was certainly a great disappointment to the man' who expected to see the race of the year. Mr. Geers figured that the Abbot was in the pink of condition, and so informed his many followers. While Geo. Ketcham made no claims for the champion, it was evident he was well pleased with the stallion's form when "the horses came to the post. The Abbot ruled favorite before the start and sold for $100, with Cresceus selling for $00. Commissioner John Scannell and his friends v.vire on hand' and backed The Abbot to win. as also did PJunsrer Nick Hublinger. The fastest quarter in any one of the four heats trotted was 0:31, which bears evidence that neither horse had his speed. Breaks by The Abbot in the first and third heats, soon after 'getting the word, allowed Cresceus tb win twice in hollow style, Geers lauding the gelding cleverly inside the. .flag in each heat. In the secoud heat The Abbot, who trailed Cresceus, trotted around the stallion in the third quarter, and beat him out im pressively. If there was a contest it was in the final heat. . Ketcham set the pace with the stallion and open ed up a good lead on the gelding the quarter being in 0:32. Go ing down the back stretch Geers gradually gained on the stallion and trotted around him on the lower turn, and was in front as the pair headed in the stretch. Ketcham called on tho champion, who collared The Abbot and had him hopelessly beaten at the dis tance stand. The Abbot appeared to be sore Ho broke while scoring for every heat. In the final heat Geers brought the gelding out without blinds, and had slipped on a twoounce toe weight, but this change did not heir: matters.

RESTFUL

SABBATH Roosevelt Goes Quietly to Church Services at Washington. CABINET SPECULATION Too Early to Predict What AViy Happen When the rresklent and Mis vbers Rub Tc jether a Pew Months Warna Will Not Interfere Washington. "D. C, Sept. 23 President Roosevelt did not go to Ins office in the White House yesterday, there being no extraordinary public business to require his presence there. He spent the day and evening1 quietly at tho house of Commander Cowles, his temporary home, leaving it only to attend church and to take a long alk with General Leonard Wood. The President does not expect to occupy the private part of the White House before Tuesday night, and possibly not until Wednesday, when Mrs. Roosevelt is expected to arrive President Roosevelt's democratic ways are winning to liiin a;l the people, and democrats are as loud in their praise as republicans. The new president has been assured by all old republican headers that thev are behind his administration, ready to give it their hearty support. They have asked no conditions or concessions This is true of Senator Hanna of Ohio, as it is of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts. Senator IJanna has been misrepresented by some of his friends when they said that the senator consented to take President Roosevelt under his protecting wing and keep him straight m the path of President McKinley. Senator Hanna has not assumed a patronizing attitude toward President Roosevelt. Like other senators, Mr. Hanna has assumed that the president can be.fully trtisted to direct the administration. The Ohio senator simply went to the president, expressed his confidence and" pledged his loyalty. He asked no favors, made no conditions. He did what any loyal republican senator might bü expected to do, and he had no sympathy with those who feared the president might go wrong unless he kept McKinley's caoinet. There has been much speculation as to how long the members of McKinley's cabinet will remain. They will remain just as long as the president finds them a help to him in the administration. He has not asked them to stay for four years or any definite period. He has asked them to stay with him "and most of them understand that this binds neither him nor them for- a definite time. They will continue where they are and allow the situation to develop. In three or four months they will all be better acquainted with the president and he with them. Gungcs at the White Mouse. Washington, Sept. L'5 President Roosevelt has taken possession of the white house and his family joined him today. Sec. Cortelyou has packed and shipped to Canton the private effects of the McKinleys. The sudden and unexpected change of occur pancy has been exceedingly sad for the official household -of the white house and the corps of employes, all of whom deeply loved the martyred president and his gentle wife.

EXPOSITION COMFORT.

Time and Trouble Saved and Avoided at Statler's the Great PanAmerican Hostelry. The time lost and trouble entailed by trying to attend an Exposition that is remote from the large centers of a big city, and therefore from the good hotels, is entirely obviated at the Pan-American at Buffalo. The Exposition management are to be congratulated on the fact that right against their grounds, and indeed, forming of itself a distinct attraction, they have what is conceded to be the most wonderful hostelrv fver built namely, Statler's Hotel. Although only three stories high, the enormous building has 2100 rooms and can easily accommodate over Ö000 people. The dining room will seat 12oo people to a single meal without crowding, and so perfect is the organization and equipment that it is no uncommon thing for a whole trainload of visitors, numbering well into the hundreds to be taken in charge and comfortably accommodated without causing so much as a ripple of excitement. A good, clean, comfortable room, together with breakfast and evening dinner can be readily secured for $2.00 or $2.50 a day, while for those who prefer to board outside good rooms may be had on the European plan for $1.00 and $1.50. Under the same management, good meals at 35 and. 50 cents can be obtained at Statler's down town restaurant in Ellicott Square, which is one of Buffalo's most famous gastronomic resorts. Intending visitors to Buffalo, therefore, can well afford to turn a deaf ear to all the stories told by runners and touts on the trains and clswhere about the impossibillity of getting accommodations and extortionate charges for same, Statler's can and will take care of all who come at most moderate figures, while in addition to this the convenience of being right on the grounds all the time and of beingable to view the glorious illumination at night from Statler's towers ?nd terraces without the fatigue of a return journey from more remote quarters is well worth a traveler's consideration.

RUFFIANISM AT INWOOD

A Burly Railroad Hand Threatens to Shoot a Preacher at McKinley Memorial. Last Sunday evening, while a memorial service was being held in the Methodist church at Inwood as a public tribute of respect to the murdered President, several employe on the railroad gathered at the church door of the church and created some annoyance by loud talking. Among them was a man known about Inwood as Lotlier, his true name being unknown, who is supposed to hae come from Kentucky and who lwards in the village. This man was especially demonstrative and while Rev. J. II. Walter was speaking to the large audience the Kentuckian whipped out a revolver and pointed it at the preacher, declaring he would shoot him if he said anything' good about McKinlev. Several men' in the congregation rushed at the rurtian and disarmed him, whereupon he quieted down and the service pioeeded without further interruption. The man remained near the church and is still in Inwood. The trustees of the church are considering the advisability of instituting a prosecution for disturbing a public meeting.
