was taken from lluffnlo to Auburn state

October 23.
Sfiuiilt Caldwell and sixteen men took
thf prisoner In a special car attached to
tho second section of a train which was dim
to luavo at 9:30. Tho train left the Now
York Central station at 10:06 p, m. and tho
railroad oinclaVi said that an effort would
to iimdd to reach Auburn at 2:1! a. m.,
which is schedule time.
Czolgosz wac "sneaked" out tho back en
trance of tho Erlo county Jail, escorted by
tioventccn men, and was hustled Into tho
upeclal car, which hod been backed down on
the terrncc tracks a few rods from tho rear
of tho Jail a minute, before. The Jail was
left at Just 9:4ft p. in., but a slow run was
inado to tho Union station, as tho engine
lind car wero on tho wrong track, which had
been cleared.
Depiirturp Ariinmrd .Srcrrtlj-.
Sheriff Caldwoll nrrangod for tho dcpirt
tiro and his moves wero kept so secret und
wero so clovcrly mannged that, no ono but
tho guards, tho railroad men and tho now-sparer
men who wero on the watch knev
tlmt tho assassin was being smuggled out
of tho Jail, Shorlff Caldwell had given or
ders to his most trustworthy deputies to
tippenr singly at tho Jail at different hott.M
during tho evening, and ho hnd nlso mado

of tho Now Vork Central to havo nn engine

Church Btrcct at 9:25 o'clock. That car wns
llfteon minutes Into, but tbo moment It left
tho station for Us run of thrco or four
minutes n telephono mcssago was sent to
tho Jail nnd tho sheriff had the prisoner
ready. Ab soon as tho cor stopped, but a
few rods from tho rear entranco to the
Jail, Czolgosz nppeared handcuffed to Jailer
Georgo N. Mitchell and surrounded by the
sheriff and his deputies and Chlof Me
Master of tho Auburn pollen department.
The car was nttached to tho second section
of tho train. Tho nows thut a car contain
ing tho murderer wan on tho rear of tho
train spread quickly nnd all the railroad
men In the station left their work to get
u look at tho assassin. Finally at 10:06
o'clock tho word was given nnd tho train
pulled out.

At Rochester tho cur will 1m coupled to
n train running from there to Auburn,
which had orders to nwalt tho nrrlvat of
this trnlu. Just before tho train pulled
out n representative of tho Associated

nud smoking a clgnr. In the scat with
the prisoner was Jailor Mitchell and In
the opposlto sent facing tbem wero tho
keeper of the penitentiary anil Deputy
Sheriff Hugh Sloan, tho oldest and most
experienced doputy sheriff In the county.
Tho other guards wore seated In front and
back of him and on the other sldn of tho
car, directly opposlto his sent. Thoso prc
rautlons wero takon becauso the authorities
received word from some source today that
the sheriff might encounter considerable
difficulty In getting tha prisoner to Au
burn. Just what trouble was feared was
not learned, hut great caro was taken that
no advance news of tho departure of tho
train wos telegraphed along the lino.

BUFFALO, Sept. 26. Leon F. Czolgosz,
tho assassin of Presldwt McKlnloy, wna
this afternoon sentenced to bn electrocuted
In Auburn Stato prison during tho wcok
beginning October 28, 1901.
llcforo sentence was passed tho nssassln
evinced a dcslrn to speak, but he could
not got his voice above n whisper and his
words wero repeated to the court by his
counsol.
"Thero was no ono olso but me," the
prisoner said In a whisper. "No ono elso
told mo to do It nnd no ono paid mo to do
It. I was not told anything about tho
crime and I never thought anything nbout
murder until a couplo of days before I com
mitted tho crime."
Czolgosz sat down. He was qulto calm,
but It wns evident thnt his mind was
flooded with thoughts of his own distress.
Ills eyes wero dilated, making them ap
pear very bright. His checks were a trifle
pulo nnd his outstretched hand tremblod.
Tho gtinrds put tho handcuffs on his wrists,
lie looked at ono of the ofllcers, There
was an expression of protoundest fear and
helplessness In his eyes, Ho glanced about
ut tho people who crowded the room In
efforts to'got a look at him. Tho pris
oner's eyelids fell and rose tremulously
end then ho fixed his gaze on tho floor In
front of him,
Sit (inudhyi- tn Czolttoa.
At this point Judge Titus enmo over to
the prisoner and budo him goodbye. Czol
gosz replied very faintly, letting his eyes
rost on (ho man who has boon his counsel.
"Goodbye," bo said, weakly,
Czolgosz was then hurried downstairs
nnd through the "Tunnol of Sobs" to the
Jail, where he will remain until removed
to Auburn to pay the penalty for his
crime.
Although tho time announced for tho con

Different County Oilier
, to III- 1'lllcd.
Tho decks have been cleared for the re
publican primaries today, which prom
ise spirited fights In five of tbo nine wards
of this city. The real Issue, In most cases,
although covered more or less by various
chnrges and counter charges, aro the con
flicting clnlms of different aspirants for
nominations for tho several county offices
that are to bo filled this fall. What started
nut to glvo a largo field of candidates has
simmered down now to certain well defined
antagonists for the principal places on tho
ticket.
A few weeks ago It looked as If a dozen
sheriffs were ready to throw down tho
gauntlet, Of thoso then mentioned, how
ever, a majority have fallen by tho way
side or declined to enter the race nt all.
Including Frauk Dandle, Coror.tr Swnnson.
Gus Cornccr, Georgo Hclrarod, Charles
Poderson nnd George C. Thompson, Tho
candidates now In tho field have been re
duced to four, with a fifth dark horso under
cover. They arc Fred II. Hoye of tho
Second ward, James Allan of tho Eighth
ward, Luroy II. Lucas of tho Fifth ward and
Georgo McHrldo of South Omaha with A. C.
Foster peeping out from behind the so
called VlnBonhnler delegation In tho Seventh
wnrd. Hoye has n contest In his homo
ward, tho opposition bidng put up by
Charley Kcssler In tho name of Dr. Welse.
for coroner, on tho strength of Mcllrtde's
rroney. Lucas apparently has his ward
conceded to him, yet must take his chances
between wnrrlng factions who havo put In
two delegations, each labelled with li in
name. Jim Allnn, In tho Eighth, Is con
fronted with tho comblnod candidacy of
Tom Crocker for re-nomlnntlon as register
of deeds and Ed Hrallcy for coroner. In
South Omaha Mcllrlde seems to hnvo things
his own way, ns nil tho delegations aro
claimed by him. Several other candidates
wanted to come nut in South Omaha for
other offices, but havo been successively
driven or frlghtentd off by Mcllrldo and tho
Uttlo ring that Is backing him.
Snt A mil tint Vliionhnler.
Tho huo and cry thnt has been raised
over tho contest for county Judgo has been
largely In tho nature of dtut throwing to
veil the tracks of schemers trying to get
Into the convention for other purposes.
Vlnsonhalor has nn unopposed delegation
in his own (Fourth) ward, put up by him
self, with tho concurrence of all elements.
He has put up a Vlnsonhalor delegation In
the Seventh ward, but as already explained,
It la said to be roally a Foster delegation
for nherlff. Opposed to It Is a delegation
committed to the Interests of J. O. Dotwllor.
formerly member of the legislature, who
would like to succeed to the county bench.
For county clerk, W. J. Hunter of the
Sixth ward Is endeavoring to capturo tho
plum. Everybody In tho Sixth ward pro
fesses to be for Hunter for clerk, hut he
has to meet an opposing delegation put up
to slaughter him for the interest of Grout
Williams for register of deeds snd Harrv
Davis for coroner. Hunter's opponent for
tho clerkship Is Charles Unltt of tho Ninth
ward.
Tho First wnrd delegation, which Is un
contested, Is supposod to bo for Hoye for
sheriff nnd for VInsonhnler for Judge, and
the Third ward delegation, llkowlso unop
posed, is unpledged. Candidates for county
treasurer aro still In tho back ground, tho
principal ono mentioned being L. N. Con
don of tho Seventh wnrd. County Superin
tendent Dodwell wants to bo renominated
for a fourth term and will havo as a rival
Dr. H S. McCoy of Ilenson, who was for
some time ono of tho school trustees of that
district. For county surveyor two names
havo been suggested, Louis nilckcndorf and
P. A. Edqulst, both of the Ninth wnrd.
Serinulilp for CiiiiiiuliNloiiprHlilpa,
In tho South Omaha commissioner dis
trict competition for tho nomination Is not
brisk. Councilman August Miller has been
spoken of and also Walter Slate. In the
Omaha district several starters nro ready.
It. P. Dolman of tho Eight ward Is allied
with the Crocke r-Dralley delegation there,
whllo tho Allen delegation Is pledged to
Dick Donnelly, the saloon keeper. In the
Seventh ward, too, the so-callod Vinson
haler delegation Is pledged to Lyrann Wat
erman, formor asscesor, for tho samo po
sition. Tho primary contest has developod sev
eral unique features in the way of labels
on tho sample ballots, to say nothing of
tho usual scurrllloua circulars regularly
gotten out by tho enemies of tho city ad
mlnlBtrntlon. In tho Eight ward, for ex
ample, the ticket headed by A. W. Jofferls
bears the Inscription: "For tho welfare of
tho country and tbo good of the republican
party In tho county." The incongruity of
Jefferls sailing under such a sign has been
pointed out In tho fact that ho has been
openly fighting the republican nominees for
three or four successive elections and re
eelved ib his reward for helping the dem
ocrats In tho last national enmpaign a feo
of $200 from tho democratic county commtn.
sloners for an opinion which should havo
been rendered by the county attorney. The
snmo Incongruity applies to Bromo and sev
eral others on tho samo ticket who hnvo
been voting for democrats right along
without respect to tho good of tho repub
lican enrty.
Int'oiiKriiltlrs of thp I, fibrin.
As an answer to this Eighth ward label
ono of the Fifth ward samples Is Inscribed:
"For tho success of the republican party
and for candidates who aro republicans both
before nnd after tho convention." And an
other sample in the Third ward' "For can
didates who aro for republicans without
being bought or being on the ticket them
selves," Tbo sample In tho 81xth ward headed by
John N. Westherg has a red sign on It
with tho words "Antl-Mnchlne." West
berg, although opposing Hunter for county
clork, was nominated for his present office
by tho vote of tho Sixth ward delegation
rast by Huutcr as chairman, being the same
delegation that helped nominate Mayor
Moores. Wcstberg has always been "antl
mauhlno" to tho extent of rofuslng to pay
his campaign assessment whllo drawing a
fat public snlary, even when he was running
for office himself, Insisting that the machine
should pay his bills for him.
The funny part of the so-called VInson
hnler delegation In tho Seventh ward Is
that tho men on It wero the most noisy
nntl-Vtnsonhaler men when tho Judge was
originally nominated two yearn ago, sev
eral of them refusing to support him oven
after he was nominated.
Still more amusing Is the conglomerate
combination that has been gotten In ono

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. (Special Tele

between Mitchell and Caldwell In Scotts
niuffs county Is stirring the antagonism of
the town of Gerlng, In the samo county.
Heretofore Gerlng has been doing business
direct with Caldwell, but owing to changes
on tho U. & M. Gerlng has been cut out for
Mitchell and Caldwell. A vigorous protest
has been entered against the establishment
of tho new star route. Postofflco olllclnls
say that Gerlng Is still practically on tho

to Caldwell, and ns It Is shorter from Mitch
ell to Caldwell than from Caldwell to Ger
lng, the former routo wns decided upon as
tho most practical. As ul matter Is In

Insiirizpnt I.padpr Wnnld Ituthrr Hate
United State Utile the Island
Than Any Other For

HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 26. (Special
Telegram.) Senator Dietrich nnd daugh
ter, Miss Gertrude, returned homo
this morning from n ten weeks'
sojourn In the Philippines, where
tho senator went for the purpose of
makng n study of tho Islands and their
present conditions. Senator DIotrlch was
Interviewed by Tho Beo correspondent the
first thing this morning. Ho wns ngrecably
surprised with everything ho saw nnd In
vestigated In the Philippine. It Is a very
rich country, practically undeveloped, nnd
It can bo brought up to as high a stato of
cultivation that now exists in Japan. Thirty
to forty millions of people can easily bo
supported In theso Islauds. Mr. Dietrich
was moro than surprised by tho great ad
vancement mado In tho establishment of
our civil government there. Pence nnd or
der prvall and good feeling exists In gen
oral toward tho Americans for what they
havo done and for what they nro still doing.
Interview Auiiliinliln.
Mr. Dietrich had a porsonnl Interview
with Agulnaldo, who told tho scnutor that
If the Islands had to be governed by any
other nation, ho was now satisfied that ho
would rather havo tho Philippine Islands
under the control of tho United States than
any other untlon, nnd that from all ho had
henrd from his pooplo since he hns beon In
captivity, wns to tho snmo effect. Durlmj
his Interview, Mr. DIotrlch asked Aguln
aldo If tho war had not been prolonged by
the hopes of Bryan's election. Agulnaldo
said that It was true and thnt he and his
peoplo hnd counted ,on having tho islands
turned over to them to establish their own
government immediately In caso William
J. Bryan had been elected.
During a fiesta at Tnrlnc, tho orntor
spoko of the thrco grent heroes and friends:
Itlzel, who was executed thero for urging
freedom from Spanish rule; Agulnaldo nnd
Brynn. Scnntor Dietrich said that If our
government la Judicious and does not act
too hastily thero need bo no fear of trouble
In tho southern Islands, whero Mohnm-nu-dlsm
hns nbsoluto control. Hasty action
by our government might bring nbout
trouble thnt may cost a sacrifice of many
lives and much money. So far tho govern
ment has ncted very wisely In not attempt
ing to Intcrfero In thoso Islands. The
Islands aro rich, but ns n whole they arc un
cultivated. Nlnoty per cent of tho lands In
tho Philippine Islands are still undeveloped
government lands, which promise a great
future. As soon ns the government Is In
position to grant franchises for railways
and disposal of government Innds and small
tracts to purchasers for tho purpose of Im
proving all cultivation, tho Island will ad
vance nnd become prosperous nud avlf-eup-portlng.
KntahllNhlnir Civil Government.
Tho present government has established
n civil government wherever It hns been
posslblo to do so. Tho civil govornment Is
fnst succeeding tho military government.
Tho mllltnry and civil forces nro work
ing harmoniously together. Tho civil serv
ice commission is careful nnd painstaking
In solcctlng good men and tho preference
In every case Is given to Filipinos when
they nro competent. Governor Taft. who
Is at tho tho head of tho civil govornment,
lid General Chaffeo at the head of tho mili
tary government, are certainly the right
men In tho right places.
In speaking of irrigation in tho Philip
pines ho said thnt thero was plenty of water
nnd mnny strenms all through tho Islands
which can bo used for irrigating tho cul
tivated lands. Mr. Dietrich advocates a
large governmental experimental farm with
experimental stations in various parts of
tho islands. Tho value of tho timber Is
greatly overestimated. The Islands nro
rich In timber, but aro not nB valuable as
reports have Indicated. Tho Btaple prod
ucts aro rice, sugar, aocoanuts and rubber.
Experiments nre now being mado In grow
ing cotton. Ju many portions of the Islands
Indian corn, wheat nnd other cerenls arc
grown with success. Tho value of mines,
llko timber, Is largoly overestimated. Mr.
Dietrich received this Information from
mining experts who spent much time In tho
districts where great wealth was supposed
to exist.
If any great wealth Is discovered, it will
have to bo In now flold3. Mr. Dietrich says
In all portions of tho islands whero tho
Catholic church has been thero will not be
any troublo In AmeTlcanlzIng tho natives.
Ho bollovcs that for some time to corao we
should maintain the silver standard In that
country, because all tho surrounding coun
tries nro on a silver basis, and It will take
3omo time to educato them to tho gold
standard.
The encouragement of American banking
Institutions should be continued, because
tho banks now thoro aro branches of foreign
banks nnd nro not interested in the up
building of tho country. Tho war la prac
tically over, and It will be but a short time
until all hostilities cease. Mr. DIotrlch de
parted this afternoon for Lincoln, but will
return homo tomorrow. Ho will remain
hero for a week or ten days.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26. Under the rules
today's unfinished race will be resalled on
Saturday nnd tho courso will be again
fifteen miles to windward nnd leewnrd and
return.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2fi.-Oue of tho big
gest crowds that ever put to sea went down
to tho Sandy Hook lightship today to wit
ulss Sir ThomaB Llpton's second challenger.
Shamrock II, nnd tho whlto Ilyor Columbia,
which nucccrsfully defended tho old Amer
ica's cup ngalnst his first trophy hunter
two years ago, struggle for tha yachting
supremncy of thp world In tho first of tho
cup races of 1901. But the excursion licet
returned disappointed. Tho grent slnglo
sticker. went out early, but tho wind was
not strong enough. Tho wind, ns low ns
three knots, was too light to carry tho con
testants over tho thirty-mllo courso al
lotted by tho rules.
At the end of tho flvo and a half allotted
hours tho race was declared off nnd tho
yachts were towed back to their berths
Inside tho Hook. When tho gun aboard
the commltteo boat was fired to call atten
tion to the signal declaring tho rnco off
tho American yacht was still llvo miles
from tho finish. Shamrock was well astern.
American' I'rlile .Itixtllloil.
Americans will havo reason to congratu
late themselves on tho result of tho first
trial. Tho yacht which carried J. P. Mor
gan's prlvato signal, a black pennant with
a yellow maltosi cross, to victory two yenrs
ago was headed but onco In the twenty
fivo mllos covered nnd then tho Engllsh
mnn showed tho way for only live minutes.
In wlndwnrd work tho American beat tho
foreigner 7 minutes 15 seconds to the outer
mark and Increased Its lend somewhat In
tho broad ronch for homo. Whllo the ttst
wob unsatisfactory tho yachting sharps who
havo been skeptical up to this tlmo ns to
tho ability of Columbia to successfully de
fend tho cup nro moro confident tonight that
It will remain on IhU sldn of tho Atlantic
yet a while longer. Certainly Columbia's
suporlortty In light nlrs appears to havo
beon demonstrated today. Shamrock II did
not, In fact, mako hs good showing nn did
Llpton's first challenger In tho hnlf-dozon
flukes that preceded tho actual races two
years ago. What Shamrock may bo able to
do In henvy weather Is, of course, proble
matical, but Columbia has beon tried nnd
nil Its admirers Insist that It in distinc
tively n heavy wenthcr hont.
Vnnkre Confidence Well Grounded.
Two years ngo Sir Thomns' prayer v.ns
for wind, but when lm got n smashing twen-ty-five-knot
galo In tho last race Columbia's
victory wns even more decisive, than In
the first. Since then Columbia's ability in
henvy weather hns been proved ngaln nnd
ngnln. Tho harder It blows tho fnster tho
dofendcr goes and tho better It behaves. It
Is not stra'ngn, therefore, that tho patrlotlo
skippers and spectators who went down to
Sandy Hook this morning with misgivings
returned tonight reassured and strongly dis
posed to wager that tho pretty wreath of
shamrock ond white heather from tho old
est yacht club In tho world which Sir
Thomas Is treasuring In tho cnhln of his
champion will provo no moscot. nftor all.
The day had, promised woll nt first. A
strong northeast wind had been blowing
for two days and tho weather prophets had
offored assurancn that It would hold. It
had piled up what sailors coll a nasty lump
of sea outside and beforo tho rnco began
wns whipping the foam off tho crests of tho
wnves. A heavy hazo which hung over the
bny had blown awny tho bright sunlight
which glided tho crlnkltng wnter Into glory.
Other Swell Thim the Sen's.
Tho procefcslnn that sailed out of New
York harbor anticipated a fine day's sport.
So numerous wero tho various kinds of
craft that they seemed to fill tho broad ex
panse of ocean botween tho Long ls)nnd
and Jersey shores with a countlefs fleet.
Tho magnificent and palatini Btcam yachts,
steamers and oxcurslon boats, filled tier
above tier with people; snub-nosed tugs,
picnic barges nnd soiling craft gathered
about tho old yellow hulk which for years
has furnished n gulilo for shipping nnd In
front of which tho start was to ho mode.
Consplcious nmong tbo yachts worn J. P.
Morgan's Corsair, F. W. Vanderbllt's Con
queror, Cornollus Vnndcrbllt's Mlrago, How
ard Gould's Niagara, K. T. Gerry's Electra,
John Jacob Astor's Nourmahal, August Bel
mont's Stout, Colonel Albert Palno's Aph
rodite and half r hundred others, each fly
ing tho Now York Yacht club's pennant at
tho fori nnd the private signal of tho owner
nt the main.
Conrnn Indicated, '
The hlg ruccrs hnd nlroady boon towed
out and when tho fleet arrived they wore
circling and whcollng llko great gulls about
tho lightship. Tho polished hronzo hull
of Shamrock, gleaming ami glistening In
tho brilliant sun, mado It look llko a craft,
of gold, a yollow-breastcd gull, with whlto
pinions spread.
Tho whlto revenuo cutters of tho patrol
fleet, with tho revenue flag nt the forwtop,
marshaled thn excursion fleet behind tho
line. Shortly bnforo 11 o'clock u big black
tug, (lying tho blue flag of the regatta com
mittee, puffed through thn fleet, measured
off tho 200 yards starting lino from tho
lightship, lot go Its anchor nnd then hoisted
tho signal, "D. II. V.." Indicating that tho
courso would bn cast by north fittocn mllos
straight Into tho cyo of tho wind nnd ro
turn. Then another big tug startod off
straight out tho Long Islnnd shore to set
tho outor mark. Tho log ocr Its taffrall
which mcasurod tho distance took no ac
count of the tide, which wns running out,
so that tho dlstanco It covered beforo tho
float wbb dropped overboard, measured by
the bottom of tho sea, was probably jionrer
seventeon than fifteen nautical miles.
Five minutes beforo 11 o'clock n puff of
smoke burst from the commlttuo boat. Thn
