THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1901. SINCERE GRIEF IN CHRISTIAN LANDS SORROW OF ALL EUROPE Statesmen Send Expressions of Regret. King Edward Eagerly Seeks the Latest Bulletins. Press Is Unanimous in Denouncing Cowardly Assault. PR IE ARIS, Bept. 7—The Americans in Paris and the French people learned the news of the at- tempt on the life of President McKinley when they opened their newspapers at the break- fast table this morning. Even the United Btates Embassador, General Horace Porter, was not aware until to-day of the tragedy that had .been enacted in Buffalo. He retired early last ‘evening, being fatigued and not feeling ‘well, and he was not disturbed in the ab- sence of an official dispatch, A dispatch was sent to President Lou- bet, who is at Ramboutllet, late last night &and it was not delivered until to-day. The news spread through Paris with the rapidity of a whirlwind and it was dis- | cussed to the exclusion of every other topic, not merely by Americans but the Parisians. There are many Americans stopping in Paris for a few days on their | way home from other European countries, &nd every hotel courtyard had its group, earnestly discussing the news. The United States embassy and consulate were be- sieged by callers seeking Information, & while in front of the New York Herald's office was a great crowd awaiting bul letins of the latest condition of the Presi- dent. Expressions of sympathy from French- men are emanating from every side. From the high: to th lowest every one anxious to express deep regret and ab- horrence at the crime. President McKin- s name and character are guite famil- to the Parisis His honorab! ca- r and democra character have fre- been dwelt upon by the press and made him pop re.

LONDON, Sept. 7.—Passengers booked for New York on e steamer St. -day gathered at Waterloo station T the steamer were tremen- -ager for further news of the € condition, many dreading the week of suspense with which their pas- sage will be marked. The 1 o'clock bulie- the anarchists | tin was hailed with the greatest relief. At Euston station, when the Lucania’s | train left, there w a scene simflar to the one witnessed at Waterloo station. The passengers hung about the platform, inquiring for the latest information and apparently reluctant to put themselves out of communication with the news | 2bout the President’s condition, even for a few hours Richard Croker, John Fox of the New York Democratic Club and Andrew Freed. man were among the travelers. Mr. Croker said he was vepy sorry about | President McKinley and he anxiously in- quired for the latest news regarding the President’s condition. The Lord Mayor has addressed to Em- bassador Choate the following communi- cation: The people of London have recelved with profound regret and great indignation intelli- gence of the dastardly attack on the life of ihe distinguished President of the United States Mad they desire to convey through your excel- | ident of the | 2 Yepr SR + e Foreign Editors Unite in Praising Personal Character of Man Whom an Anarchist Has Stricken Down. lency their sincere sympathy with your country in this melancholy event and they trust that so valueble a life as President McKinley's may be spared for the welfare of the American people. United States embassy received telegrams and telephone messages | from distinguished persons inquiring for news and expfessing anxiety and regret at the attempf of the would-be assassin. Lord Pauncefote, the British Embassa- dor to the United States, accompanied by | his daughter, was one of the earliest cal ers at the United States embassy this morning. He expressed the greatest sym- pathy and anxiety regarding President McKinley’s condition. Other callers at the embassy included Jjudge Gray of Del- | aware, Professor Saunders of ~Harvard and practically all.the leading Americans | in London. The telezrams of sympathy and inguiry received at the embassy from all parts of Great Britain include mes sages from the Mavors of Liverpool, Birmingham and Portsmouth. King Edward’s Message.

The Echo eulogizes the personal traits | of President Mckinley as those on which | Englishmen can dwell with unaffected | appreciation. it is understood that the American po- | lice are communicating with the police of | the various Europcan capitals with the view of learning whether Czolgosz had | relations with foreign anarchists recently. | By night the emba had received tel- egrams from almost every city in the United Kingdom, besides countless i quiries “from inflividuals, including the Duke of Cambridge, the Bishop of Ripon, the forelgn Emba: tine Minister.

We and America are blamed on the continent for harboring anarchists, We are deeply relieved to hear the encourag- ing reports about the President's condition, but, remembering keenly how President a 1in: gered, we dread the possibility of complications until the second bullet is found. If the worst comes to the worst, which I dislike to con- | template, it is some slight satisfaction to know that the Vice President is such an up. | right, level-headed man. T don't think Eure: pean statesmen would feel a bit nervous about his direction of affairs. We sineerely tn however, that such a coptingeney will not o cur. Throughout the Government offices the same sentiments were echoed. In Wash- ington itself the assallant could not have been more bitterly execrated. Sentiment in Germany. BERLIN, Sept. 7—The tragedy in Buf- | falo has made a deep Impression. While the Germans first knew President Mo- | Kinley as the author of the McKinle bill. which they regarded as especially | aimed at Germany, and therefore disliked | him. that dislike has latterly to a more friendly feeling and past few years the papers have said many pleasant things about him. It is a strik. ing fact that the German press, although generally ready to impute corruption to every American statesman, never assafls ter, =aid to | ing > during the [ t dors and the Argen- | g glven place | t President McKinley's personal purity and frequently -within the past year or two recognized him as the friend of peace, as favoring go6d relations of the other na- tions and as being a check upon the jingo element in the United States. The Ger- man Government entertains a warm re- gard for the President and his latest ut- ferance was regarded as opening a still | more pleasant chapter in the relations of the two countries. The German press in its reference to Vice President Roosevelt recognize his ability and his civil service reform work and the Germans who know him highly respect his character, energy and inde- pendence.

Mr. Treat then gave a sketch of the life of Paul Jones and before adjourning the commandery appointed a committee to ar- range for the erection of a local monu- ment. At the Bush street synagogue yester- day morning during the regular service special psalms were recited and a fervent prayer was offered by Rabbi Isidore My- ers for the speedy and perfect recovery of. the President. Subsequently Rabbi Myers preached an impressive sermon, taking for his text Lamentatlons, iv:20. “The breath of our nostrils, the anointed ! |of the Lord, has been caught in their snares, he, of whom we said, Under his shadow shall we live among the nations.” He said In part: The weight of a great sorrow has fallen on the people of the United States. a sorrow shared by the whole civilized world.
