To-day's confirmation of the Buffalo outrage has stirred the police here into action, particularly In jon to the Czar's visit. The Min of the Interior has telegraphed severe instructions to the special commissaries in the provinces to exercise the closest vigilance upon an- archists. Special detectives also have been dispatched to the industrial centers to aid the police In watching anarchists and other agitators. Any anarchist who is considered dangerous or whose move- ments are suspicious will be taken into custody. All the commissaries possess portr: and descriptions of the anar- chists known to the International police. Several Italian anarchists who have been especially shadowed left Paris recently, but all but two of them have now been a Clara | o regarding Presi- | and it can | The contract for the conduct of this fm- mense barbacue was let to a local firm. | The firm, however, got into some difficulty with one of the unions and was unable to handle the affair as it desired.

Czar Will Visit France. LONDON, Sept. —The Assoclated Pry learns from Copenhagen to-night that no change is contemplated in the s plans and that peror Nicholas will surely go to France and it may be | to Paris also, but this is not yet settled. The chiefs of the Russian secret police in Paris and London and a staff of Russian detectives will attend him everywhere.

The Neues Wiener Tageblatt says: “The country in its bitterness will prob- ably take energetic measures to destroy the nursery of anarchism in the United States. The Weiner Tageblatt says that Presi- dent McKinley is the first statesman of America_ and perhaps the greatest and most_influential in the world since Bis- marck. SAYS ANARCHISTS ARE ENEMIES OF LAW Dr. Stephens Wants Them Relegated to the Wild and Desert Places of the Earth. The Rev. John Stephens, pastor of Simpson Memorial Methodist iscopal Church, last night prefaced his sermon with a tribute to William McKinley, “the plain, manly American Christian,” and a | vigorous denunciation of Czolgosz and all pestilential tribe. He said In part: An_anarchist i an enemy of the law. Let the man who does not believe in law perish without it.

Y., Sept. 8. —Herman O. Armour of Kansas City died suddenly of gpoplexy to-day at his summer cpttage ere. Armour, who has been in comparatively frail health for some time, was able to ride out once or twice a day and appeared to be gaining strength. is forenoon, accompanied by a coachman, he took his regular drive and on his return stated that he felt much refreshed.

Let us pray in the second place that this erime be not a sign that our pride and irreligion are bringing on us the curse of those who try to do without God. And now that we are recalled to ourselves by this calamity, let us ask ourselves individually if we have done right by our country. Only when we do our duty to God, only when we measure out exact Justice to our fellow men, can we be good citi- Zens. A free country can exist only by justice, justice to the God who governs it and justice to our brethern who comprise it. —_————— PASTOR BELIEVES IN STRENUOUS MEASURES Rev. Philip Coombe Hopes Laws Will Be Passed to Banish Anarchists From This Country. Rev. Philip Coombe, pastor of the Rich- mond Congregational Church, delivered a stirring sermon against anarchy last evening. In the course of his remarks he said: Three times in less than fifty years has the sassin’s hand been raised against the highest officer in the United States Government, and every time against & man who honored the po- sitlon to which he had been elected. Four times In a little over seven years has the hand of the anarchist been dipped in the blood of as many rulers and in every instance they who were gelected as victims were among the great- est in their positions. In the brutal attack on President McKinley there can be but one universal verdict that it was @ most treacherous and diabolical act against one who is the peer if not the superior of any living ruler on earth. No incentive was there to the atroclous deed other than the de- pravity of the anarchists, whose creed is no God, no government, no work, no home, no marriage, and whose banner is the red fag of riot and murder. After eight policemen were _treacherously murdered by the anarchists in Chicago in 1886 a bill w fted and presented to both houses of representatives favoring the rigid exclusion and deportation of all alien anarchists. 1 be- lleve that bill failed to pass, but surely with this latest crime before us we shall not cease to urge and pray for the passage of some law by which ry known anarchist may be ban- ished isoned with hard labbr, and the monster Czolgosz be sentenced to solitary eon- finement for life PRAYERS TO GOD TO SPARE THE PRESIDENT Bishop McCabe Expresses Hope That Nation’s Chief Executive Be Spared to His Country. A special prayer was offered in How- ard-street Methodist Episcopal Church last night for the recovery of President McKinley. The service was led by Bishop McCabe, who was in the pulpit of that church thirty years ago. After the open- ing service by Rev. Mr. Wilson, Bishop McCabe was introduced. He said: Never have we seen so sorrowful a day fn our country. Millions of people are gathered together with a single thought.

The one word in every one's mouth is the “President,” dent,” stricken down by the hand of an assas- sin, ‘lies at death's door. The pail of death hangs over our beloved President. Let us pray that he may recover from his grievous wound. It has been said in the press that I was chap- lain of President McKinley's regiment. Let me correct this error. The President was in the army of the West, I in the army of the Potomac. Though widely separated we both fought for the same flag and for the same end —the preservation of the Union. Let us hope our prayers for the recovery of the nation's executive will be heard on high. Let us hope that to-morrow’s intelligence will be that he will be spared to his country. I want him to live—we all want him to live. It is the praver of every patriotic man and woman of the nation. ANARCHY SHOULD BE SUPPRESSED AT ONCE Rev. Dr. Cherington Places Awful Responsibility for Dastardly At- tack on President McKinley. The Rev. F. B. Cherington, D. D., pas- tor of Plymouth Congregational Church, in his sermon last evening sald: The feartul responsibility for the dastardly attack on President McKinley lies at the door of anarchy. This diabolical movement, which has been permitted to gain strength in Pater- son, N. J., and Chicago, is directly answerable for'thé cfime. The man who struck our be- loved executive in the prime of his career {s an avowed anarchist and claims to have been in- cited to commit the heinous deed by the in- flammatory speeches of Emma Goldman and others of her ilk. Czolgosz took these anarchists seriously and Bought to carry out their theorles in practice. He was the tool of shrewder persons, who directed him in the consummation of his awful act. The time has come for the nation to make new laws restricting immigration and prohib- iting the landing on our shores of any persons whose names have been sent by the forelgn police agents as belonging to a movement which has for its motto the overthrow of all good government. let us cease to make America the refuge of this abominable class whose mem- bérs are the allies of all evil and the enemies of good. We have tolerated the hellish brutes too long and the time has come for the nation to cease its tol- eration. Let the dens of these snakes in Paterson smnd Chicago be cleaned out. Exile the leaders and put the individuals under strict sur- veillance. The anarchist is an enemy of Iabar and harm will come from association with him. Let the attempted assassination of a good and noble man bear fruit in the stamping out for all time the hydra-headed movement of anarch- ism. EO AN OE SPECIAL PRAYERS IN GREEK CHURCH At the close of the regular Sunday morning service at the Greek-Russian Church yesterday the Very Rev. Sebastlan Dabovich offered special prayers for the recovery of President McKinley. The prayers were followed with devotion by the entire congregation. Father Se- bastian prayed that the chief .executive of the nation would soon be restored to perfect health, that the country would always remain in a tranquil state and that God would look down and bless the nation in its time of sorrow. tion and chances for recovery. ext to a feeling of sorrow for the dis- tinguished sufferer and his sorrowing wife s one of extreme anger at the dastard whose cowardly act has plunged the nation Into universal mourning. Threats against not only the man himself but against the whole brood of moral and political degenerates whence he springs are heard at every step, mingled with ex- pressions of bitter shame that one claim- ing to be an American citizen ecould have been guilty of such a deed. To-morrow (Monday) was to be the star day here, as all that has so far occurred was intended | merely as a prelude to the grand potlash that was to take place on the 9th. T programme that has been arranged will be immediately abandoned if President MecKinle; iliness should have a fatal termination, and even as it is the parade and other features of the day will be put through in on half-hearted manner. Notwithstanding the numbers who had expected to come, but who at the last mo- ment decided to remain at home, there are enough strangers in_town to more than fill every hotel and boarding house. The baseball game played at Cyclers’ Park between Marshall and San Jose par- lors resulted in a victory for the San Jose Parlor nine. The score was § to 3.

The would-be assassin is a Hebrew by birth, but professes to be an agnostic or an atheist.” The Polish nation can boast of never having pro- duced a man who would stain its reputation by attacking a lawful authority, because imbued by Christian principles. It is well aware that all lawful authority comes from God and that it must be respegted. Separate telegrams of sympathy were sent to the President and Mrs. McKinley. Seventeen Polish-American societies, it is claimed ,were represented at the meeting. ATTACK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TREASON Former Attorney General Says a Seri. ous Defect Exists in the Crim- inal Laws. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 8.—An altempt upon the President’s life should be treated as treason, says W. H. H. Miller, Attor- ney General under President Harrison. “In my judgment,” said Mr. Miller, “the attempted assassination of the President sgain suggests that in forming our crim- inal laws we have paid too little attention to the protection of the Government. As a general rule the law takes no more ac- count of sn assault upon the President than upon a private citizen. If, as all good people hope, the President shall sur- vive this attack, the offense, if the laws of New York are as I suppose they are, is simply an acsault with intent to com- mit murder. It seems to be that they should be so framed as to take into ac- count the President’s public character; in short, that tn attempt to take the life of the President should be deemed treason and be punished accordingly. P D ey PRAY FOR RECOVERY OF THE PRESIDENT Special Services Held in the Metho- dist Churches at Pacific Grove and Monterey. PACIFIC GROVE, Sept. 8.—Special prayers for the Fresident’s recovery were offered in all the churches here and in Monterey to-day. The latest bulletins of his condition were read to the congrega- tions. The deepest feeling was manifested everywhere. and in the Methodist Church, where the Itinerants’ Club is holding its session at present, the consregauon broke into a fervent singing of ‘Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow” when encouraging news from Buffalo was an- nounced, SALINAS, Sept. 8.—General James B.

A tele- gram to the above effect was forwarded to Buffalo to-day. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF THE OPERATION Telicate Work Done by Dr. Mann in the Presence of Medi- cal Men. BUFFALO, Sept. 8—The Express to- morrow will say regarding the first op- eration performed on the President: ‘The operation performed at the Emergency Hospital left no need for a second operation to follow it almost immediately, The full details of the operation therefore have not been known. It was performed by Dr. Matthew D. Mann. His first assistant was Dr. Herman Minter. ~His_second assistant was Dr. John Parmenter. His third assistant was Dr. Lee of St. Louls, who happened to be on the ex- position grounds at the time of the tragedy and placed his services at the disposal of the President. Dr. felson W. Wilson noted the time of the operation and took the motes. Dr. Eugene Wasdin of the Marine Hospital gave the anaesthet! Dr. Rixey arrived at the lat- ter part of ti operation and held the light Dr. Parke arrived at the close of the opefa- tion. Dr. Mann wielded the knife. The operation lasted almost an hour. A cut ve inches long was made. It was found necessary to turn up the stomach of the Pres dent In grder to trace the course of the bullet. The bullet's opening in the front wall of the stomach was small and it was carefully closed with sutures, after which a search was made for the hole in the back wall of the stomach. This hole, where the bullet went out of the stomach, was larger than the hole of the front wall of the stomach, in fact it was a wound of an inch in diameter, jagged and ragged. It was sewed up in threé layers. This wound was larger than the wound where the bullet entered the stomach, because the bullet in its course forced tissues ahead of it. In turning Aip the stomach, an act that was absolutely necessary, and was performed by Dr. Mann with rare skill. the danger was that some of the contents of the stomach might get into the abdominal cavity and as a result cause | peritonitis. It so happened that there was very little in the President’s stomach at the time of the operation. Moreover, subsequent devolop- ments tend o show that this feature of the operation was grandly successtul and that none of the contents of the stomach entered the ab- dominal cavity. If any of the contents had en- tered the cavity the probability is that by now peritonitis would have set in. In this connection, It is of interest that some experienced surgeons do not mind the tempera- ture at all in noting the bulletins of the Presi- dent's condition, but say that so long as .the | pulse is in the proper relation to the tempera- ture In a big operation like this it is very com- mon for the temperature to remain around 102 or even 103. But if the temperature had dropped and the pulse had accelerated it would have been a danger signal of peritonitis setting in. Tt is of interest also to know that after an operation of this kind the peristaltic or com- pressive action in the abdominal cavity ceases or becomes retrograde.

LONDON, Sept. 9.—The attack upon President McKinley completely monopo- lized the attention of the London news- papers this morning. Page after page is devoted to long descriptive telegrams from Buffalo and New York and dispatches from the Continent describing the effect of the news there and the opinions of the press. Every scrap of information in any way bearing upon the subject finds a prominent place, while every American of prominence, the delegates to the vari- ous congresses now In session and diplo- mats are sought out with a view of ob- taining their opinion. Nothing could have better displayed the enormously growing interest that everything American has for Europe. M. E. il Socialists Do Not Regret Tragedy. CHICAGO, Sept. 8—Two thousand members of the socialists voted down a resolution of regret at the attempted as- sassination of the President, at a meet- ing in_ Bergman's Grove, Riverside, to- day.
