PRESIBENT MGKINLEY SEW. Declared at First That He Was Not Hurt Much. Lem afterward that he was an Allal‘ChlSLI and had only done his duty. The attempted assassination took place? in the presence of 3,000 people, \vho‘ had crowded into the Temple oil Music, and while 10,000 othersl stood outside the Temple waiting for. a. chance to enter and shake hands with the President. The first bullet struck the sternum. in the President's chest, defleCted to‘ the right. and traveled beneath the: skin to at point directly below the. right nipple. The second bullet pen-. etruted the abdomen. Only a. super- ficial wound was caused by the first! bullet, and Within five minutes after: the physicians reached the President. ,‘ it had been removed. The second bullet was not found. An operation was performed on the President at‘ the Emergency Hospital on the Exâ€" position grounds at. 6 o'clock. by. Dr. Matthew D. Mann. Dr. John Parâ€" menter, and Dr. Herman Mynter. The President’s stomach was opened. but the bullet was not found. Drainage tubes were inserted, the incision was sewed up, and at 7:45 o'clock the President was removed to the home of John G. Millburn. president of the Exposition, at Deluwm'e Avenue and Ferry Street. The doctors stated af- ter the operation that they were hopefuh and that While the wound caused by the second shot was ser- ious, it was not necessarily fatal. The man who did the shooting was seized immediately by the detectives He offered no resistance, and at first refused to give any information about, himself. Later he said his name was Fred Nieman, that he was 28 years old, and had come to Buf- falo from Detroit a week ago. He was living at No, 1,025 Broadway. He gave his occupation as black- smith, and said he was born in Deâ€" troit. The reception to the President this afternoon was one to which the genâ€" eral public had been Invited. Presi- dent John G. Millburn, of the Expo- sition, had introduced the President to the great crowd in the Temple} and men, women and children came forward for a personal greeting. Among those in line was Nieman, whose left hand was wrapped in a handkerchief. Folded in a handker- chief was a Bizâ€"calibre Derringer. A little girl was led up by her father, and the President shook hands with her. As she passed along to the right the President looked after her smilineg and waved his hand in a pleasant adieu. Next in line came the assassin. As the President turned to the right again, bringing the right hand about in the characteristic attitude with which he extends it while receiving. Nielnan thrust out both his hands, brushed aside the President‘s extendâ€" ed hand, and brought the revolver hidden in the handkerchief up against the President’s stomach. At the same instant he pulled the trigger. The first bullet entered too high for the purpose of the aSSassuin, who had fired again as soon as his finger could more the trigger. 0n receiving the first, shot Presiâ€" dent McKinley lifted himself on his toes with something of a gasp. his movement caused the second shot to enter just below the navel.

His eyes were open, and he was clearly conscious of all that had transpired. He looked up into Fres- ident, Millburn’s face, and gasped, "Cortelyou." The President’s secreâ€" tary bent over him. "Cortelyou," said the President, “My wife, be careful about her, don’t let 1. “ know.” Moved by a paroxysm he writhed to the left, and then his eyes fell on the prostrate form of the wouldâ€"be assassin. Nieman lay on the floor bloody and helpless beneath the bloody and helpless beneath the blows of the guards. The President raised his right hand red with his own blood, and placed it on the shoulder of his secretary. “Let no- one hurt him," he gasped, and sank back in the chair, while the guards carried Nieman out of his “Let no one hurt and sank back in the guards carried sight. An ambulance from the Exposition hospital was summoned immediately and the President, still Conscious, sank upon the stretcher. Secretary Cm‘telyou and Mr, Milâ€" burn rode with him in the ambulâ€" ance, and in nine minutes after the shooting the President was await- ing the arrival of surgeons, who had been summoned from all sec- tions of the city, and by special [rain from Niagara Falls The President continued conscious and conversed with Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Milburn on his Way to the hospital. "I am sorry," he said, “to have been the cause of trouble to, the Erposition.” Three thoughts have found expres- sion with the President, first, that the news should be kept from his wife ; second, that the assassin should not be harmed ; and third, regret that the tragedy might hurt the Exposition. The news that the President had been shot passed across the Exposiâ€" tion grounds with almost incredible speed, and the crowd around the Temple grew until it’ counted fifty thousand people. This big crowd followed the ambulance respectfully to the hospital, and then divided itself into two parts, one anxious to learn the condition of the Presiâ€" dent and to catch up every rumor that came from the hospital, the other eager to find the assassin and to punish him. Certain it is that if the officials had not used remarkable diligence in taking Nieman out of the way of the crowd, he would have been mobbed and beaten to death. ed Soldiers fought. a w the heads of the horse: n "Lynch him, cried a hundred voices, and a start was made 101 one of the entrances of the Temple Soldiers and police heat, back thc crowd.

S).â€"The news from President McKinley toâ€"day is good mews throughout. It is not merely negative good news like that of yesterday when there ‘Wus good news because ‘ there was no bad news. It is possible good newsâ€"a story of distinct improvement in the patient's condition over yesterday. His temperature at this writing is over a degree lower than it was even this morning, when at one time it went up to 102.8, as compared with 102 yesterday. It is now 101. The pulse is slower and the respiration slower and easier. In a word it is a marked improvement, warranting strong hopes for a favorable issue. And right here a word should be said about the bulletins the physi- cians are sending out from the sick room. For some reason past fathomâ€" ing; the report has been circulated ‘that they were not truthful; that they were deliberately colored with optimism, that the President’s condi- tion Was much worse than they indiâ€" cated. All this is nonsense. The stories discrediting the bulletins do a grave injustice to the conscientious physicians who have the tremendous responsibility upon them, and they likewise are unjust to the Govern- ment officials who are supposed to have some control of what shall or shall not go out to the public from the sick room. The bulletins issued by the President's physicians are, so far as it is humanly possible, an ac- curate statement of his exact condi- tion. Senator Hanna and Vice-Presâ€" ident Roosevelt, who came out of the Milburn house together this afterâ€" noon, both spoke earnestly in disapâ€" proval of the reports casting suspiâ€" cion on the bulletins. Senator Hanâ€" na, in particular, was vigorous in denouncing as false these rumors. CONFESSION BY CZOL‘GOSZ. I am an Anarchist. I do not beâ€" lieve in the American form of govâ€" ernment.

A despatch from Cape Town says:- The details of the fight in whicl Lotter’s commando was captured by, Col. Scohell have just been received here. It appears that, Col. .Scobeli surprised Lotter, who had laagereé in the centre of a basin. surrounded by ridges. The Boers occupied two krnals and 2t shed, into which the Boer picket rushed all the wounded. The Cape Mounted Rifles and the Ninth Lancers surrounded the posi- tion completely. The first British volleys, which were . red at daylight. stampeded the Boers’ horses. The burghers seeing their escape was impossible, took reâ€" fuge in the shed, from which they re- turned the British tire. Then the British concentrated their fire from four points on their shed at distances of from 50 to 400 yards. Every corner of the Boer position was well searched for three-quarters of an hour, when :1 white flag was hoisted. Nevertheless the Boers continued fir- ing, and a private of the Lancers, who gulloped forward to receive the surrender. Was shot twenty yards from the shed.
