LONDON, Sept, 6. The vast ambitions
of tbe United States, as deduced from what
tho St. James Oazetto calls President Mc
Klnley's jcnsatlonal speech at Uuffalo, con
tinue to be the themo of the London edi
torial writers,
"As military power and commercial en
terprlsu uust go hand-ln-hand," says tho
St. James Oazetto, "tho Importance of tbo
statements upon tho world of politics as
revealing tho now epoch upon which
America Is entering must be Immense."
The Evening Standard inquires If tho
reference to tho Isthmian canal is a "hint
to England that the Clayton-tlulwer treaty
will have to go. It looka like It." The
paper considers tnat the "dotcrmlnatkjn of
the United StatCB to be uppermost In Cen
tral and South America, both commercially
and pollltally, Is ouo of the hardest tacts
of our times."
The Olobo thinks President McKlnley's
program forccaus, tho severe rivalry which
Great Drltaln must expect from tho United
Btates, amounting, ns tho paper believe, to
a definite abandonment of cxtrcmo protec
tion. THREE FORMER TRAGEDIES

Tho hatred engendered by civil war and
political strife and disappointment were
the prima causes of tho assassination of
President Lincoln thirty-five years ago; of
President Oarflcld twenty years ago, and
of Mayor Carter Harrison, Hr., of Chicago
nearly fight years ago.
President Abraham Lincoln had entered
tho second nunth of his second term with
tho clouds of war which darkened the na
tion's life for four years rnpidly dissolving
under the sunshine, of peace. The con
federacy was Hcnttered. Appomattox was
history. Tho president entered Richmond
tho day after Its fall, and was nctlvcly en
gaged In devising generous plans tor tho
reconstruction of tho union when on tho
evening if Oood Friday, April U, 1565, he
was shot whllo seated In a box at Ford's
thoatcr, Washington, by J. Wilkes Booth.
Almost simultaneously a murderous attack
was mado upon William H. Seward, the
secretary of state. President Lincoln ex
pired the following morning, April 15. No
tragedy of modern times caused such wide
spread sorrow, such Intense, bewildered ex
citement. The funeral of the martyr presi
dent was conducted with unexampled
solemnity. Tho body was conveyed to and
laid In atato In the leading cities of the
cast and middle west, nud was laid at rest
In Oak Illdgo cemetery, Springfield, HI.,

Saturday morning. July 2, 18S1, was a
bright and beautiful day in Washington.
There was a cloudless sky over tho Whlto
House and over the cntlro nation thorn
was a mantle of pence and prosperity. Mrs.
Garfield, wlfoof tho president, whs at Long
Branch, convalescing from a sovcro Illness.
She desired her husband and children at hor
side r.nd In compliance with her request
President Oarflcld and his two boyn, Harry
and James, accompanied by Secretary
Blaine, started for the depot to tako the
train for Long Branch.
Upon reaching the depot President Gar
field walked from the carriage and was fol
lowed' by Secretnry Blaine. Tho president
walked through the main entrance, and, just
as ho passed tho first bonch In the waiting
room, where aovcrnl pcoplo wero seated, the
assassin. Oultcnu, stoppod from behind tho
opened door and shot directly at tho back
of the stalwart man beforo him. He wns
nervous with excitement and tho bullet
went wide of tho mark. Nobody has over
found whoro that tlrst bullet went. It
never struck the president, and Mr. Garfield
never noticed the shot. Thoru was u loud
report, but the veteran oldlcr-presldont
paid no heed to It. Ho wont ahead toward
the train; but, taking careful aim, Gulteau
fired ii second shot, and It proved fatal. In
stautly dropping his llttlo hand ratchel and
wavering a moment on his feet President
Garfield fell upon tho tiled floor, mortally
wounded.
Seeing that his second shot had done lt3
deadly work the assassin turned and ran
out of the door through which the president
had entered. A cab won waiting for htm.
Oultonu having cngnged It In advance of tho
commission of hU crime, nut the sound of
his revolver had alarmed ppoplo on tlm
street and n stalwart sergeant of pallet1
came running Into tho door Just ns Gulteau
ran nut. Not knowing whnt had been done
but Instinctively realizing that tho fleeing
roan must have committed somo crime, the
policeman grabbed and held Gulteau, al
though the fellow struggled violently, tn a
sreoud the otUrer was Informed that he had
captured the man who had shot tho presi
dent of tho United States, and he hastily
made his way to police headquarters with
the prisoner.
President Garfield lingered for two and a
half ii onths and tiled September 19.

something which was not overheard by the I

Harrison's breast and fired. Tho assassin
ran Into the street and after discharging a

KILLING OF FOREIGN RULERS

ohlatn IliirInK the Nineteenth
Century.
The assassination of King Humbert of
Italy last year and the moro recent attcmot
on tho Ufo of tho prince of Wales, now
King Edward VII, In Belgium, shows that
tho monarchs of Europe,, despite military
and pollco guards, nro In constant porll of
tho knife or pistol of anarchists. It makes
llttlo dlfforenco what tho character of the
ruler may be. It Is sufllclcnt for uuarchlsts
to know that ho or she represents tho
ruling government and therefore should bo
removol from tho earth. Tho gcntlo and
generous empress of Austria, whose sole
"crime" In tho eyes of anarchy was that
sho was queen, wns stricken to death by n
cowardly ussassln In Switzerland four years
BRO.
AttarUx on l!oiiiinrte.
Tho first year of tho past century was
marked by an attompt on tho life of General
Bonaparte. On December 21, 1S00, two Ital
ians constructed two boxes, which were
charged with explosives and placed on
either sldo of a roadway. Thcso two lu
fcrnat machines were connected by means
of a slender wire, which, when touched bv
tho horscB of tho first consul's carriage, was
to pull triggers of two pistols loaded with
tinder and thereby set flro to tho explosive
stuff. There was a terrific explosion, na
had been expected, and one of tho postilions
was wounded, but Bonaparte himself es
caped without a scratch, Ills life was twice
tried after this outrage. Tbe conspirator
who assasslnnted tho Emperor Paul of Rus
sia on March 11. 1801, went to work In a
way that precluded tho possibility of fail
ure. Tlioy surprised htm m nts neuroom at
night and strangled him with a towel, as
Dr. Patrick Cronln's breath was taken in
tho Carlson cottage in Chicago.
From 1809, when Napoleon was assaulted
at Schoenbrunn, until 1832, when the life of
Ferdinand of Austria was attempted at
Baden, the ruling potentates lived unmo-
ltsted. In the meantime, however, tho Duko
do Berry, eldest son of tho Count d'Artols.
heir apparent to the French throne, had
been assassinated on tho steps of tho opera
houso by the republican fanatic, Louvel,
who plunged a knife between his shoulders,
and tbla murder Is believed by some histor
ians to havo had a fatal effect In shaking
tho Bourbon dynasty.
Louis Philippe, as already said, had his
life attempted nineteen times. The most
fatal of the attempts against him was that
mado by a Corslcan of the name of Fleschl.
In 1835, by means of an Infernal machine
composed of a number of gun barrels. The
outrage, committed In broad daylight, whllo
tho king was holding n review, resulted In
tho doath of Marshal Mortlcr and of twelve
other persons,
Kcnpr 'of Vlcturla,
During Louis Philippe's reign and tho
four following yerrs attempts wero made
upon the llfo of Queen Victoria, by Oxford
In 1840 and by a workman named Frances
In 1842; upon the king of Prussia, Frederick
William IV, In 1844, and again In 1S50. uron
the emperor of Germany In 1849 and upon
iHabclln, queen of Spain, In 1SS2. Nono of
theso attempts succeeded. Oxford was n
lunatic, and was consigned to Bedlam as
such. Ho romr.lned thero about twenty
five years. Francis, who assaulted ho
quoen In 1S42, made a large wnle on her
face. Ho died shortly after he had been
lodged In St. Luke's Bethlehem. Francis
waa rnquestlonably mad. Nevertheless,
after his offense, Parliament passed a bill
enacting that flogging should be Inflicted
In future) upon anyono seeking to inflict
bodily harm upon tho queen or to threaten
her. It was by virtue of this act that tho
young fool O'Connor, who leveled a pistol at
the queen In 1869, was sentenced to bo 1m
prisoned for n year and to receive twenty
stroke with a birch, Tho queen kindly re
mitted tho whole punishment.
Attuukn on .Vnpolron III.
In 1856 Napoleon was twice put In peril
of his llfo, both his aggressors helm
Italians. It was said that after thcso at
tempts tho emperor took to wearing a sheot
of mall under his linen. It was not. how
ever, until after tho fearful enterprise of
Orslnl on January 14, 1858, that ho got to so
seriously unnerved as to llvo In constant
dread of assassination. Count Felice Or
slnl was not a more vulgar fanatic, but n
gcntlomnn by birth, education and fortune.
An ardent patriot and a partisan of tho
unification of Italy, his grudge against Na
poleon III was that" the lattor, when a
political refugac in Italy, had Joined a
Masonic lodgo and sworn certain oath),
which, by and by, as empcrdr, he had neg
lected to fulfill. Had Orslnl's accomplices
Plorri, Rudlo and Gomez been men of his
mettlo and determination, the ntteinpt
against Napoleon In 1R58 must have been
crowned with success, but they were poor.
Ignorant cravens, who did their work for
pay, and their hearts failed them at the
critical moment, Each of them had been
provided with two explosive shells which
wore to bo hurled'undor the cmporor's. car
riage as It drovo up to tho opera. Orslnl
threw his two shells and Tlerre one, but the

other two men ran off In a fright whin they
heard tho first explosion. Tho damage done
by tbo sholls was ghastly. Flvo pcoplo
were killed and nine wounded; nil the sol
diers of the mounted escort, were bruised
or scratched, the emperor's coachman fell
off hla box and ono of tho footmen was
blown twenty yards with his skull battered
in. The Imperial coach was n complete
wreck. The emperor and empress escaped
without a scratch and later mado their ap
pearance In the opera house.
KlllltiK of the I'mr.
On March 13, 18S1, while the Imperial car
riage was returning from tho Michael pal
ace In St. Petersburg, two bombs were
hurled beneath the vohlcle. Tho first shell
tore away the back of the conveyance. The
czar and Grand Duke Michael had scarcely
alighted when a second bomb burst at his
feet. Alexander fell crying for help. His
right leg was nearly torn from bis body and
the loft was badly shattered. A Cossack
and a passer-by wero killed outright. The
czar was borne to tho Winter palace, where
ho died In fearful agony. The Grand Duke
Michael was sorely Injured by the explosion
that took tho monarch's life.
In 1801 the King of Prussia was twice
fired upon at Badon by n student named
Becker. In 1862 a Greek student fired
on the queen of Greece. Bismarck's llfo
was attempted by Blind In 1860 and by Kull
tuann In 1874. Prince Michael of Servla
was assassinated In 1863. Amadeo, cx-klng
of Spain, was attacked In 1872.
Tho president of the Republic of Peru
was murdorcd In the same year, tho presi

Ecuador In 1873, tho president of Paraguay
In 1877 and In 1878 there were two attempts
on the emperor of Germany, the murders of

CHICAGO, Sept, 6. United State Sen
ator Cullom, who wns In tho city today,
was greatly affected when ho hoard the
news.
"I can hardly bollevo tho announcement,"
he said after a time. "That was a das
tardly attack and the man who committed
tho act should have been punished right
there. It Is tho most horrible crlmo imag
inable. Tho nation could hardly afford
to lose President McKlnley and It would
be nwful to see n man of so many admirable
qualities cut down thus at the height of
his career. Ho Is a great man nnd a great
president. Ho 13 nearer to tho hearts of
the great body of the people thau any
other ruler since Lincoln."
Senator Cullom said tonight: "Abraham
Lincoln, James A. Garfield nnd William Mc
Klnley were the three presidents most thor
oughly In sympathy, apparently, with tho
great body of the common pcoplo of tho
country that we have nad since tho be
ginning of our constitutional government.
Mr. Lincoln was assassinated In tho earlv
part of 'his second term, Mr. Garfield dur
ing the first few months of his tlrst term
nnd an attempt has been made to nBsassi
nato President McKlnley In the early part
at his second term. It seoms strange to
my mind that such a fate should befall
such men men who were generous to a
fault nnd who were faithfully perform
ing the great duties of their high office.
"No man was of a moro kindly nature
than President McKlnloy. His henrt beat
In unison with the great body of the people
of the country and of the world. His solo
purpose was to do bis duty, to take caro
that the laws should be faithfully executed
and that tbo country should go on its ca
reer of growth nnd prosperity, and yet he
seems to have shared tho fate of those
great men who havo gone bofore htm.
"I slnceroly hopo that he may recover
to carry out his purpose In the interest of
tho United States government and of the
people to tbe end of his official term and
bo allowed to retire, as he has unqualifiedly
expressed his purpose to do when his terra
shall expire. Thero can be no question that
ho has mado ono of the greatest presl
dents of the United States, His name will
be linked closely with that of Washington
nnd Lincoln and deservedly so. Even on
yesterday ho dollvorcd an address to the
people nt tho exposition which Is full of
wisdom and showed that his whole heart
and llfo wero absorbed by a desire to do
wbnt was best for his own country, not
forgetting tho other nations of tho world
It will bo a great thing for the United
States and for the world If he shall be
spared. If ho shall be taken away, It Is
my slncero hopo and prayer that tho poll
ctcs of President McKlnley during his term
shall be continued."

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 6. The news of tho

anxiety In tho capital of his native state
where ho resided during tho four years !n
which ho served as chief executive, of Ohb
Governor Nash, Secretary of State Lalln
nnd Auditor of State Gilbert were holding a
conference In tho executive chamber when
the fad tidings reached the capital. The
governor was completely unmanned nnd
after pacing tho floor n few minutes he
walked over to tho door and leaning his
head against tho lintel buried his face tn
his hands,
A few minutes later Congressman Charles
Dick hurried in from tho republican Mate
headquarters. Ho is one of tho president's
closest friends and his face plainly be
trayed hla grief. Mr. Dick sought the gov
ernor at once and a handclasp told the tale
of mutual sorrow. Not a word waB spoken
by cither, but tears were In their eyes
When later bulletins told the nature of the
wounds General Dick said:

"There Is a chance, then. Tho presldont

camo as a great shock to tho people of
Canton, The first news, an Associated
Press bulletin to the Repository, was given
to Mrs. Barber, Mrs. McKlnley's sister.
Not long after tho first reports were cir
culated tho people began to gather In small
companies In front of the McKlnley rcsl-

many minutes had elapsed a surging crowd
gathered at the corner of Louis avenue and
North Market street nnd many ventured
up to the door of the McKlnley home to
ask tho attendants what was the latest

who has charge of the house replied that
no word whatever had been received at the
