Auburn, N. Y.. Sept. 28 Czolgosz was taken from Buffalo in a special car attached tc u. New York Central train and accompanied 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 engine 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 recent confinement. Without urging 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, seated 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 Caldwell and his deputies succeeded in evading a public demonstration at the departure of the assassin from the city of his crime and trial, but about a dozen newspaper 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 probaoly 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 mistake. 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 Malatesta 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 Cleveland. None of those people ever told me to kill anybody. Nobody 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 before. 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. McKinley?" "Why, only that she had not oaght to be so privileged and get so much." "Did you know the shock nearly 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 minister?" This question was a poser for anarchist. For years he had the affected to despise the Christian religion. Now he needed comfort. A shade of reminiscent expression passed over his countenance that he was thinking of childhood days when with innocent 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 represent 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 hundred 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 Satisfactory Contrast.
rive Years Xqo There was a Treasury 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 condition 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 financial, 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 accorded 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 recuperate 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 provisional on the necessity for my presence in Washington. "There is little to say on financial 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 government 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 country. 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 President 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

D. Borden of New York, owner

other factories, contemplates a five per cent, increase in wages, is the chief subject under discussion here. The new wage schedule 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 relations 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 republican members of the house to favor Cuban free trade. The sugar trust is also in favor of free trade, for it owns the majority of Cuban sugar plantations and controls the rest. The president, in his Minnesota speech, said that he was determinedly opposed to trusts. Will that opposition lead him to adopt a Cuban policy different from one he otherwise would have adopted? The tobacco trust is not so fortunate 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 Cuban 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 Minnesota representatives had just finished their visit with Roosevelt, and were starting to go away when Representative Heatwole, who had known the officer for several years, stopped and asked 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 forgotten his gallant conduct on that day. I was there, and remember 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 nineteen 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 selfcontrol, 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 peculiarly free from the handicap of "personal representatives" on the floors of the house of congress. In the senate no one presumed 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 nothing 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. President 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 antiEvans wing of the Grand army of the republic proposes to take up this year withPresident Roosevelt 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 anything about the merits of the case from personal observation, and is not a member of the organization, he does not feel warranted 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, element 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. Evans, 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 encampment 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 matters 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 coming year. That announcement will have a strong influence on the anti-Evans agitation in Washington, which always gets under way about the time. congress convenes. As a candidate for commander-in-chief, Judge Torrance occupied 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. Sickles or of Gen. Stewart. The former represented all the bitter fight that has been made on Evans, 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 extreme 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 spectacle of himself and of the order that was made by his predeces sor, Gen. Rassieur, whose internperant 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 yesterday took steps looking to a permanent monument organization. Papers were drawn for incorporation under the laws of Ohio of the "National McKinley Memorial association." It is to be made national in scope and personnel from the first, and its purpose is to build a memorial monument 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 secure large appropriations or contributions in any one quarter.
