The District Attorney respectfully suggested t counsel be assigned to defend the prisoner and ascertain what he had better do as to his plea to the indictment before arraignment Counsel Is Appointed.

A memorial service also will be held simultaneously at St. Paul's Cathedral, the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of the city of London at- tending in state. Many well-known persons called at the TUnited States embassy to-day and entered their names in the visitors’ book, while others telegraphed condolences. The newspapers here continue to express the hope that the Duke of Cornwall and York will be able to attend the funeral of President McKinley, but it seems now ex- tremely doubtful if it can be arranged, especially since the ceremonies at the Capitol have been fixed for Tuesday. Gov- ernment circles seem to think that direct, mmediate action on the part of King Ed- ward is the only way to bring about the attendance of the Duke at Washington. “It would be an unique opportunity,” the Westminster Gazette says, ‘“‘of show- ing British sympathy with the United States, owing to the accidental fact that the King's son is near at hand, and it would, we are sure, be appreciated by the American people.” By command of King Edward, the union jack, which floats over the round tower of Windsor Castle during the absence of the court, is half masted as a_tribute of re- spect to the late President McKinley. The London Stock Exchange will be offi- cially closed on Thursday next, the day of interment of President McKinley at Canton, Ofilo, Evidences of mourning for President McKinley are widespread at Cork. The Lord Mayor of Cork, Sir Daniel Hegarty, has convened a meeting of the Corpora- tion for September 25, to pass a vote of sympathy with Mrs. McKinley and the citizens of the United States. President Roosevelt's personality :at- tracts the sympathies of the English, Many stories are told of his athletic and sporting tastes, as well as of his achieve- ments as a man of letters, Rough Rider and public man. “‘His accession to office is fraught with great possibilities,” says the Westminster Gazette. *“To a great extent a new ele- ment has been brought into the politics of the world.” After alluding to the Alaskan boundary and Nicaragua canal questions, the paper asks: “Will his impulsiveness lead him to take short cuts that may prove long and expensive? Time and experience can alone determine.” The Globe thinks President Roosevelt has already shown such ability that he would have succeeded to the Presidency in 1905, and is confident that he will prove to be a strong and able President. Telegrams from the provinces continue to furnish worldwide evidence of respect for the dead President. The Parliament of New Zealand will adjourn out of re- spect on the day of the funeral. King of Greece Extends Condolence. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 16.—The King of Greece, the Crown Prince of Denmark Frederick in bebalf of the King of Den- mark and Prince Christian, the sheir pre- sumptive to the throne of Denmark, called personally on United States Minister Swenson and expressed sympathy and condolence with the people of the United States and Mrs. McKinley on the:death of the President. el S Trains Will Stop During Funeral.

W., WASHING- TON, Sept, 16—While the na- tion’s capital is bowed in grief for the President who is gone, the vigorous President who has come Into power has taken a firm grasp on the problems of the party and Government. Already it can be definitely announced that Secretary of State John Hay will not remain at the head of the Cabinet. Within a fortnight his resignation will be presented and ac- cepted. BSpecial Dispatch to The Call. It can also be definitely announced that Secretary of War Elihu Root will be made Secretary of State and the successor ‘o the Presidency. Lyman J. Gage is all but certain to remain at the head of the Treasury Department. It is not probable that Attorney General P. C. Knox will leave the Cabinet. Others will go, unless the present plans are changed. “I was a candidate for the nomination for the Presidency in 194 I have been eliminated. I am not now in any sense a candidate.” In this matter President Roosevelt has defined the sudden change in his prospects to-day. To-day his decision was an- nounced to a close friend, whom he had invited to a conference. He believes that he has been eliminated so far as the fu- ture candidacy may go and his adminis- tration will be shaped accordingly.

Dr. Jacob Cooper, vice president of Rutgers College, :!- has sent the following letter to the proprietor of the New York Journal: “Bir: While the world stands aghast at the horror recently enacted at Buffalo it looks be- yond the weak miscreant who fired the shot at our noble President. It sees in you and those like you, the leaders of a reckless press, the forces which make such an act possible. Behind the much- abused license of printing you have for years been uttering, both by werd and by pictures, that which you knew to be lies of the most damnable blackness, from the vantage ground of your (coward’s) fort. This constant hell broth of vituperation end lies, spewed out all over the land, has done its legitimate work. It has incited v{eak men, like this ignorant and fanatical Polish anarchist, to do a deed in which you, the real assassin, gloat in your inmost soul, but from which in your craven terror you crouch like “Why don’t you, if what you have been saying for years be true, repeat it nowP If false, why do you not have the manliness to admit that all your utterances about the President and Vice President 3 were conscious, premeditated lies? All good men and women in this nation denounce you and your like as the real assassin who fired the shot. I denounced you from the pulpit recently, and shall do so, supple- menting your own conscience with the testimony that you, to the full extent of your ability, are the real assassin of President McKinley. “Carry with yourself, day and night, everywhere, while you curse the earth with your presence, the consciousness that every honcrable and virtuous man and woman in our land that has had the oppor- tunity to know the facts, hold you and your like responsible for this awful horror and loathe you, not to the extent your conduct deserves, but to the reach of their ability. JACOB COOPER, Professor.” i important conferences with President Rooseveit, the first Saturday, the second Sunday and the last to-Cay on the train batween Buffalo and New York. Common grief as they stood by the bier of McKinley brought thg President and Senator Hanna together. What has passed between them carmot be told, but the danger of hostilities, at least in_the immediate future, no longer exists. Sen- ator Hanna will be recognized as the leader of the Republican party, and he Wil exercise all the rights that have at- tached to the pesition of chairman of the Republican National Coinmittee. Again President Roosevelt has indicated his in- tention of following as closely as possible the policy established and maintained by President McKinley. He was forcible and characteristic in his anno.incement, which was made, _on the train this afternoon. Meant What He Said. “I meant what I said when taking the oath of. office,” ‘said the President. “I would no sooner think of changing the policy of President McKinley than of changing a rifle which I knew-to be the best rifle. If the game shifted I might raise or lower the sights, but to change an old reliable gun—never.” The President spent the day as much in the background as rcssible. He saw a few personal friends, but denied him- self to all others. He sezmed to feel his position as one of keen embarrassment. He believes himself to be on triai before the public and fears that he will be preju- diced. It was while discussing this phase of the situation that he made the declara- tion concerning 1904. ambition was to be President, but not want the officé to corne to me in this way. I expected a con and would have enjoyed one. o s “In Chicago a short time ago T was named by my friends for the Presidency. In Minnesota the Governor of the State introduced me in a manner that indicated my candidacy. Then I went to Vermont and the Governor of that State also used my name in_connection with the nomina- tion for the Presidency. ‘““Having permitted that, I could not now deny my former associations. But all of that is of the past. I am not now.inany sense a candidate. If I fail in my present duties I canno& hope for future honors. I will fail if I give thought to anything but the demands now made upon me.” OFFICIAL ORDER FOR OBSEQUIES WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—The follow- ing is the order of arrangements for the obsequies at Washington of Willlam Mc- Kinley, late’ President of the United States, as revised to meet the wishes of Mrs. McKinley: The remains of the late President will arrive in Washington to-night and will be escorted to the Executive Mansion by a squadron of United States cavalry.

ACRAMENTO, Sept. 16—The Board of Directors of the Call- fornia State Agricultural Soclety adopted resolutions to-day on the death of President McKinley. The resolutions place the respon- sibility for the dastardly ecrime which deprived the nation of onme of its best Presidents upon the attacks made upon public men by the yellow press. They follow: The board of directors of the California State Agricultural Socfety have learned with deep- est sorrow of the death of the President of the United States, Willlam McKinley. In his life is exempiified the career of a true American, and the success that can follow the exertions of even the humblest child of America. As a boy, respectful to his parents and obedient teachings: as a soldler, brave and as a citizen, homest and enterpris- ongressman and as.Governor of his State of Ohio, displaying native qualifications for public service that his ele- vation to the position of Chief Magistrate of the nation was but the natural sequence of the years of his life. His management of the vast business of our great country for the past four and a half years has been so wise as to procure the plaudits of his political enemies, actuated as it has been Dy the purest motives and dominat- ed at all times by the central thought that America and American Interests would be ad- vanced and protected. His private life was a model; a dutiful son, a loving husband and an upright man. He proved that a man in this free government could be a Christian statesman. His murder' shocks the senses of all the people of all the world, not merely by reason of the cowardly assassination, but because of all men In public office in this or any other land, Willlam McKinley had been the friend of the poor, the champion of the oppressed, the one man that even the wicked anarchists should have, spared. We bow. in the last wesdeafalim whose memory we honor, to the WHISS#" Ged, but our sorrow Is great and our country suffers. His murder was the direct result of permitting the advocates of anarchy and opposition to law and order to poison the minds and inflame the pas- sions of the people by verbal and printed attacks upon public men. We terider the widow and relatives of the martyred President our heartfelt sympathy, but bid them be of good cheer in the certainty h dead in flesh, the spirit of Willlam will ever be In the hearts of his en, and that he is receiving notv{’ from the ruler of the universe the reward heaven for his good deeds on earth GROVE L.

SCHIFFMANN’S REMEDIES. ASTHMA CAN BE CURED. A Noted Physician Will Prove This to Sufferers in San Francisco Thursday. The astonishing statement that Asth- ma can be cured, coming from so well known authority as Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, will be of interest to asth~( ma sufferers. The experience of most asthmatics has been that little if any re- lief has been afforded them by the methods heretofore employed, and, in fact, the disease has up to now been re- garded as incurable. This noted physi- cian has, however, aiter a life-long study of Asthma and kindred diseases, discovered a remedy which not only in- stantly 1elieves the severest cases of Asthma, Hay Fever and Bronchitis, but has actually cured thousands whose cases had been pronounced incurable. So complete is Dr. ‘Schiffmann’s con- fidence in his remedy that he requests this paper to announce that all day next Thursday, September 19, he offers a liberal sample box of “Schiffmann’s Asthma Cure” free of charge to all per- sons applying at William J. Bryan’s Drug Store, 3 New Montgomery st. Dr. Schiffmann believes that an ac- tual test will be the most convincing, and in fact the only way to overcome the natural prejudice of thousands of Asthmatics who have heretofore sought relief in vain. Persons living out of town will receive a package free by writing direct to D-. R. Schiffmann, 370 Jackson street, St. Paul, Minn., he- fore September 21, and enclosing a 2¢ stamp. o Y IS v
