No Extra Session of Congress when
Vice President is Successor,
WILL FOLLOW PRECEDENT.
Washington, Sept. 10.—Under in-
struct ions from Sin-rotary Hay eable
messages have been sent all ehief
representatives of the I'nited States iu
foreign countries, by them to be dis-
tributed to consuls, etc.
This was followed by a proclamation,
signed by the vice president and coun-
tersigned by the Secretary of State,
directing the closing of executive, navy
yards and aruiy posts as a mj.rk of
mourning.
The necessary orders have been pro-
^ mnlgated from the departments of
State, war and navy. They are all
drafted on lines similar to orders issued
when President (Jartield was stricken.
The War department has issued orders
to all division and department com-
manders wherever located.
s The White House flag i* half-mast-
ed, but a comparatively recently act of
congress forbids draping public build-
ings with emblems of mourning. Pres-
ident Roosevelt, as his first official act.
issued a p)*oclamation announcing the
death of the late president. He will
likely designate the day of burial and
appoint it to observed throughout the
United States as a day of mourning.
As the senior member in rank of the
cabinet, upon Mr. Hay's shoulders also
will rest the burden of government of
the great republic in the short, but
important, interval that must elapse
before the vice president, under the
terms of the constitution, assumes the
cares and responsibilities of the great
presidential office.
All the cabinet, chief diplomatic otti-
\, cials and head of important bureaus,
according to custom, will tender their
resignations, to relieve the president of
embarrassment, but it is believed Mr.
Roosevelt would follow the precedent
set. by President Arthur, after (iar-
fiekl's death, and request them to con-
tinue in office.
Some of the cabinet officers are not
iu good health and would sincerely
welcome a relief from their offices, but
all would waive their personal desires
and continue until such time as they
could be relieved easily, if indeed, they
request relief at all.
1'ndcr the presidential succession act
a cabinet officer becoming chief mag-
istrate. would have to summon congress
* \ in special session, but this requirement
does not apply to a vice president suc-
ceeding to the office of his dead prede-
cessor. and it is believed no extra
session would l e called in the absence
of statutory requirements, as the three
months intervening until December
can be bridged over without difficulty,
' \ and there is no special occasion for
I congress assembling.
Tlilnkn They Can be Impelled.
New York, Sept. 13.—Justice Mc-
Adain. of the New York supreme court,
gives the opinion that Emma Goldman
and other anarchists who are natural-
ized can be expelled from the country
on the ground that they have sworn
falsely in that they have obtained cer-
tificates of citizenship by fraud in
testifying that they are attached to the
^ principles of government and would
support its constitutional laws.
Arrests In I'lttdburf?.
Pittsburg, Sept. 12.—Carl Nold and
Harry Gordon, well-known Pittsburg
anarchists and friends of Gmma Gold-
man. have been arrested here. Nold
was a friend of Kerkman. who shot II.

Government Will Not Aid.
Buffalo. Sept. 11. Acting Secretary
of the navy Hackett has been pressing
Attorney General Knox, both by wire
and by letter, to appoint one of the as-
sistant attorney generals to assist Cap-
tain licmley. the judge advocate of the
Schley court of inquiry in the conduct
^ of the case before the court. The at-
torney general, however, has declined
to take a step which he believes would
look like the government prosecution
of the officer who is under investiga-
tion.
Mat-Arthur 1'raiseH Funiton.
New York, Sept. 11.—General Mac-
A rthur, when asked al>out the capture
of Aguinaldo, replied:
"Aguinaldo was fairly taken. There
was no violation of the rules of war or
or fair play.
"Al1. of the credit for capturing Ag-
uinaldo oelongs to General Funston.
lie found out where Aguinaldo was
hiding and went after and caught him.
The orders were given by me and 1 ac-
cept responsibility for the entire af
fair."
Tan Not Keep Anarchists Oat.
New York, Sept. 13.—Immigration
# Commissioner Fitchic. who is in charge
at Ellis Island, says that it is impossi-
ble to keep anarchists out of the coun-
try. "The law at present states plainly
that no one shall be refused admit' nee
because of his political beliefs, and the
only way that an anarchist can be kept-
out is by proving that he had a crim-
inal record on the other side. They
arc mostly not paupers and they meet
the requirements of the immigration
jaws.*1
ROOSEVELT FAR AWAY FR0P1
liallreod: 1* Miles From Camp, uiul then
a Night Stage Hide.
Albany, X. Y.. Sept. 10. Vice Presi-
dent Roosevelt, always optomistic, felt
certain of Mr. Mckinley's rapid recov-
ery. and left Buffalo for a run in the
Adirondacks. He was 1 'J miles from
the club house, and that was 3.* miles
from the railroad at North Creek. This
distance to be covered by 35 miles in a
stage over dark roads.
He was found on the top of Mount
Marey, where he had gone on a hunt-
ing expedition, by guides who had
been sent out early in the day to de-
liver to him the telegram from Buffalo
announcing a change for the worse in
the president's condition.
A special train awaited his coming at
North Creek. The closest figuring
could not bring the vice president to
Albany before S o'clock Saturday
morning.
Buffalo.—Senator Hanna came on a
special train from Cleveland, making
the run in the remarkably fast time of
three hours.
Johann Most Arrested.
New York. Sept. 14.—Johann Most
the most widely known anarchist edi-
tor, has been arrested. The complaint
filed includes the following from one of
Most's late editorials: "The greatest of
all follies in the world is the belief that
there can be a crime of any sort against
despots and their accomplices. Such a
belief is in itself a crime. Despots are
outlaws; they are in human shajH'
what the tiger is among beasts. To
spare them is a crime. As despots they
make use of everything, treachery,
poison, murder, etc.. so everything
should be employed against them.''
Roosevelt Threatened.

that a man had left here for New York,

to Washington to kill Vice President
Roosevelt, Chief of Police Youngeliss,

do so. and bought one for New York.

Part of C'zoIros/.'s Itocord.
Wilkesbarre. Pa., Sept. 10.—Leon
< zolgosz made a tour of the .anthracite
regions six years ago, and organized a
lodge of anarchists here. He speaks
several languages. People who came
in contact with Czolgosz, then, say that
he was after notriety all the time and
whenever the anarchists met. he in-
sisted on doing all the talking. His
theory was that the condition of the
working people in this country would
never be improved until the doctrines
advocated by the anarchists were put
into practice.
Magglo Held for Conspiracy.
Santa Fe. N. M. Sept. 14. -Antonio
Maggio, the anarchist, has been taken
from Silver City to Albuquerque. He
was cross examined and sweated but
refused to divulge anything upon the
subject of the president's assassination

that he repeatedly predicted that the
president would be assassinated before
October 1. He was bound over for
court on the charge of conspiracy to
murder.

made at an early hour to burn the city
library, but the blaze was extinguished
before practically any damage was
done. Shortly after midnight a passer-
by noticed that the rear steps of the

Stone was arrested iu this city on the
charge of "aiding and abetting in the
attempted assassination of President

ployes in the new York ship building
yard that he would not be surprised if
President McKinley was killed that
day.
Will Not He Removed.
Buffalo, Sept. 13.—The president
asks whether there is public news
which he should be informed about.
No attempt will be made to remove the
president to Washington until he has
completely recovered, and in a general
way it can be said that there is no
likelihood that this will occur until
October. The physicians are all agreed
that no attempt should be made to take
the president to Washington while the
probabilities of an oppressive hot gpeU
in the capital city remains.
Gives Pledge to Continue the Pol-

ALL OF CABINET RETAINED.
Buffalo. Sept 1Theodore Roose-
velt iH'came President Roosevelt by
taking the constitutional oath before
Judge llazal in the presence of his cab-
inet in the library of bis friend. Ansley
Wilcox, at p. in., of Saturday, Sep-
tember 14. 1901.
It was a sadly solemn scene in which
all present exhibited great emotion.
Secretary Root, who was present on a
similar occasion when Chester A.
Arthur took the same oath, could not
restrain his feelings.

Mr. Roosevelt replied:
"I shall take the oath at once in ac-
cordance with your request and in this
hour of deep and terrible national be-
reavement I wish to state that it shall
be my aim to continue absolutely with-
out variance the policy of President
McKinley for the peace and prosperity
and honor of our beloved country."
After the administration of the oath
with the deep solemnity of the occasion
full upon him. he announced to those
present that his aim would be to be
William MeKinley's successor in deed
as well as in name. The president
then repeated in the same words the
the assurance before spoken to Judge
llazal.
His first act was to ask the members
of the cabinet to retain their portfolios
in order to aid him to conduct the gov-
ernment on lines laid down by him
whose policy he declared he would up-
hold. Such an appeal was not to be
resisted and every member of the cab-
inet, including Secretary of State Hay
and Secretary of the Treasury Gage,
who were communicated with in Wash-
ington. have agreed for the present at
least, to retain their several portfolios.
President Roosevelt remained in
Buffalo and will accompany the funeral
train today to the national capital.
President- Roosevelt caused to be is-
sued a proclamation appointing Thurs-
day. September the day of the fun-
eral of President McKinley. as a day
of mourning and prayer throughout
the I'nited States: recommending that
all the people do assemble on that
day to bow in submission and to pay
out of full hearts their homage of love
and reverence to the great and good
president whose death has smitten the
nation with great and bitter grief.
Kxeited l'opulace.
Buffalo, Sept. 10. — Shortly after mid-
night the great crowds on the street
and about the exposition grounds, be-
came excited over the rumor that the
president was dead. A rush was made
toward the police station, where Czol-
gosz is confined. It was promptly met'
by the police reserves, mounted and on
foot, and driven back after a weak
resistance. In fact, twenty policemen
handled the mob on one street without
trouble.
Will Muzzle Anarchists.
New York, Sept. 10. — Police Com-
missioner Murphy will endeavor to
make it so hot for anarchists in New
York that they will be glad to get out.
He has ordered a police census to be
taken of all anarchists and suspected
anarchists. The pedigree of each and
his or her means of living and ordinary
pursuits will be carefully inquired into,
and so long as they remain in New
York all will be kept under surveil-
lance.

John Herrlger. son of Alderman Her-
riger. of Neenah. Wis , and Vice Presi
dent of the Neenah Young Men's Club,
writes in a recent letter to The Pe-
runa Medicine Co.. of Columbus, Ohio,
the following:
"After suffering for two years with
kidney trouble I received relief and a
cure from using your wonderful medi-
cine, Peruna.
''For months I was unable to work
on account of a severe pain In my back,
and when I was able to do anything I
was In pain and distressed most of the
time.
"Hearing so much of the good re-
sults people had obtained through the
use of Peruna I determined to give It a
trial and It was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I am well now and It
only took a few bottles of Peruna.''—
John Herilger, 307 Commercial street,
Neenah, Wis.
Two years suffering with catarrh of
the kidneys, unable to work on account
of the severe pain; could find no relief
from medicine; gave Peruna a trial and
was promptly cured—such was the ex
perience of John Herziger of Wisconsin.
This experience has been repeated
many times. Not only In Wisconsin
but In every state in the Union. It was

most certain that It would have ended
in incurable Bright s disease of the kid-

have proved fatal.
Peruna is a sure cure for incipient
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken
in the early stages of this disease, it
cures permanently. Bright's disease
always begins with catarrh of the kid-
neys. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
