BUFFALO, Sept. IS. Leon Czolgosz, allan
Fred Xelmao, n Indicted by the grand
Jury for niurder In the first degree, for the
shooting of President Wllllani McKlnley at
tbo Temple of Music In the Pan-American
exposition grounds at 1:15 p. ni. September
6.
When arraigned before Judge Emery the
prisoner oiubbornly refused to answer ques
tions tepeatedly asked of blm by District
Attorney Pcuney us to whether he had
counsel or wanted counsel. The district
attorney then suggested that inasmuch as
the defendant refused to answer, counsel
should be asslencd.
Judge Km cry assigned Hon. Lorain L
Lewis and Hon. Robert C. Titus, former
supreme court Justices of this c.lty, whose
names bad been suggested by the Erie
County IJar association. Czolgosz probably
ill be arrnlgntd tomorrow to plead against
the Indictment.
The. Wllnrmri.
District Attorney Penney presented tht
evidence In the murder case to the grand
Jury. No witnesses, aside from the doctors,
were (worn excepting those who were In
the T.mple of Music and witnessed the
shooting. The list of witnesses In the order
In which they appeared to testify Is as fol
lows: Dr. Herman Mynter, Dr. H. E. Gay
lord. Dr. H.V.. Matzlnger. Dr. M. D. Mann,
Secret Servlc. Detective Gallagher, Attor
ney James L. Qusclenbush, Attorney Luis
L. Babcock, Harry Hlnshaw, Captain Da
rner and Patrolman Merkel of the Exposi
tion guards; Corporal Louis Bertscbey and
Privates Neff, O'Brien, Fennenbaugh and
Rrooks of the Seventy-tblrd United States
Seacoast artillery; E. C. Knspp, Mrs. Van
denburgh Davis, John Branch, a colored
porter: Captain Vallely, chief of the expo
sition detectives; Superintendent Dull and
Assistant superintendent uusacK ot tne
local police department; Fred Lelter, James
Close, Exposition Guards. Wrstenfelder and
James and Detectives Oeary and Solomon of
this city.
At 4: 15 thin afternoon, Just exactly ten
days after the shooting, the grand Jury
voted unanimously to Indict Czolgosz for
murder In the first degree. At 4:41 the
secret Indictment was presented to Judge
Emery In the county court. Then ensued
n wait of an hour, but the rumor that the
murderer was to be arraigned spread and In
a abort time the court room was crowded.
Ilia Whrrrnliouti Kept Secret.
Great secrecy was maintained as to the
place of confinement ot the prisoner, but It
la believed that be was locked up in the.
temporary Jail at the Erie county penln-
tentlary. where prisoners have been kept
while the Jail haa been undergoing repairs.
After tho Indictment was returned the pris
oner wrh driven to the Jail across the street
from tho hall. Czolgosz was then taken
under strong guard through the tunnel un
der Delaware avenue to the basement of
the city ball and up the stairs to the court
room on the second floor. The prisoner
wss. shackled to n detccttve and another
detective held his other arm. Assistant Su
perlntendent Cusack marching In front, and
a number ot patrolmen behind.
When the prisoner waa taken before the.
bench, the crowd in the room surged about
him on all sides. They were compelled to
resume their seats.
Czolgosz is of medium height, ot fairly
Kood build and has light curly hair, but a
ten-days' growth of beard on his face gave
him an unkept appearance. Apparently he
feigned Insanity, not stupidity, and his
glance roamed about, but his eyes were
always downcast. Not once did he look the
county piosecutor or the Judge tn the face.
5lulilnirnly Mute.
"Czolgosz. have you got a lawyer? Do
you with a lawyer? You have been Indicted
for murder In the first degree; do you want
a lawyer to defend you?"
"Czolgosz, look at roe and answer."
District Attorney Penney directed these
at tho prisoner, his voice rising with cacb
succeeding question, but Czolgosz stub
bornly refuted to answer. The district at
torney respectfully suggested that counsel
be assigned to defend the prisoner and as
certain what he had better do as to his plea
to tho Indictment before arraignment
Judge Emery then asked tbe prisoner be-
tore the bar It he bad counsel, but there
was no answer, despite the fact that the
peace officer told him the Judge was speak
ing and that be must aniwer. The court
then said
I'niirt Appoint Counsel.
"Czolgosz, you having appeared for ar
raignment in the court without counsel,
the law makes it the duty of tbe court to
assign counect. The Bar association, of our
county lias considered the mattcr.and sug
Rested the names of certain gentlemen of
high character for such assignment. The
court has seriously considered tbe question
and after much consideration has concluded
to follow the suggestion made by tho as
sociation. The court therefore assigns the
Hon. lxiran U !wis and tbe Hon. Robert
C. TitUb as your counsel.''
Judge Kmcry directed the officer to no
tify the attcrneyn and remove the prisoner
Czolgosz was handcuffed to the detectives.
who started out of the courtroom with
him, The crowds surged after them, but
found the exit barred by policemen. Out
side th courtroom door the prisoner was
surrounded and hurrlod down stairs Into
the basement, whence he wss taken through
tho tunnel to the Jail across Delaware ave
nue. Whether he was left there for the
night or taken elsewhere tbe police refuted
to say

Yesterday the president gathered to
gcther some personal friends In Buffalo
and those members of the cabinet who
were there, and save to them such ideas
Ess he has areadr formulated for the conduct
of public affairs and his own policy. In

NEW YORK. Sept. 16. After a perfectly
harmonious meeting today at the New York
Yacht club, lasting nearly two hours, be
tween the America's cup challenge com
mittee and the representatives of the Royal
Ulster Yacht club. R. G. Sherman Crawford,
Its vice commodore; Hugh C. Kelly, secre
tary, and II. M. McOlldowney, It was de
cided that as a mark of respect to the mem
ory ot the late president tbe date of tbe
first race for the America's cup should be
changed to September 26.
The succeeding races are to follow ac
cording to the original plan, so that they
will be sailed Saturday, September IS, Tues
day, October 1, Thursday, October 3, and
Saturday, October 6.
In its letter to Secretary J. S. V.
Oddle of the New York Yacht club the
committee of the Royal Ulster Yacht club,
after a suggestion that the first race start
on the day above stated, says:
"There will perhaps be some who would
desire that the postponement would be
longer and with cur own feeling alone con
cerned wo would propose a later date, but
In naming the date suggested we have been
considering not only the fact of the very
large rumber of persons who have come to
this country with the challenger to help
In various capacities, some ot whom have
duties at home demanding attention at the
earliest possible date, but we also felt
that we also had to remember tbe New
York charters, hiring and other contracts
Involving large sums, made by citizens In
this country, and the convenience of thou
sands of persons who In one way or an
other find work and employment In con
nection with the races, many of whom we
have reason to know will suffer heavy loss
by a protracted delay,"
Xew Vork Clnb Itrpllr.
In reply to the Royal Ulster club com
mittee's letter, the New York Yacht club
committee In accepting tbe change of date3
says:
"We are quite sure that all American
)achtsmen and the public In general will
accert as a graceful courtesy on your part
the suggestion that you have made that
the races be postponed In view of tbe terrl.

try"

LINCOLN, Sepu 1. (SpecliI Telegram.)
The advance guard of populists and dem
ocrats who arc to make up tomorrow's fu
sion conventions has arrived. In numbers,
however, the early delegates are detidedly
meaEcr as compared with previous years
Scarcely a handful of them are jn the
ground and they are the same old war
horses that have figured in all recent fusion
gathering. It is a listless crowd, too,
none of the enthusiasm and confidence that
used to Inspire pre-convcntlon meetings,
instead of the air of assurance, an atmos
phere of doubt and dismal foreboding per
vades An Illustration In point Is a declara
tion I heard from on ot the members of
the Douglas county delegation to the demo-.
trail" wing
I am out of politics and I don't see wht
they put me on the dcl-gatlon. This would
be a pretty time to get back Into demo
cratic politics, oven If a man wanted to.
The democrats are out of power and It
looks as If tbey would stay out. They
deserve to stay out, because when tbey
were In they showed surh lamentable In
capacity to control. Wc arc Instructed for
Jud?e Dutfie and perhaps he will be nom
inated, tut It doesn't matter who we nom
inate, as he will be sure to be beaten."
Their llonr Mb Strnrk.
All the leaders seem to realize that the
days when a fusion nomination In Nebraska
was as good ns an election are passed.
That explains why the populists, although
they know they contribute by far the
greater strength of the tuslon compact, are
willing to hand the place at the head of,
the ticket over to tho democrats this year
without a struggle.
Two populists are mentioned for su
preme Judge, It Is true. Judge dams of
Kearney county and Judge Krctslnger of
Gage county, but It Is only by way of com
pMmcnt. The real competition Is In the
democratic arena, whero four candidates
have been Introduced, who seem to be lead
ing In the following order: Judge Conrad
Hollenbock of Dodge, Judge E. R. Duffle
of Douglas, Judge William G. Hastings of
SaJlne and Judge J. C. Stubbs of Hamilton.
It there should bo any difficulty In agree
ing on any one of these men the friends
of Judfge W. D. Oldham stand ready to
spring his came Into the breach. There Is a
great deal of politics In the present situa
tion. The willingness of the populists to
yield to the democrats arises not only
from tbe fact that they despair ot success
at the election, but also that tbey are fig
uring ahead for next year, when they want!
to be in position to claim tbe governorship
on the state ticket. I
In the democratic field the contest seems
to be between HollenbecK and Duffle. Hoi
lent.eck has more friends among the popu
lists who have been Infused with the notion
that Duffle is a corporation man out of
line with their anti-corporation principles.
Hollenbeck, on the other hand. Is being de
cried by the friends of Duffle as a back num.
ber, too slow to make the race.
I'lntform Vet In Emlirjo.
As to the platform In either convention
everyone seems to profess absolute Ignor
ance. M F Harrington, who generally
brings the populist platform down from
O'Neill nicely typewritten and folded In his
Inside pocket. Insists that he hasn't written
a line and no one else will confess to hav
ing Indulged In his literary propensities.
Tbe republicans have taken their wind
out ot all tbe sensational planks tbe popu
lists were Incubating and they aro not
sure now even whether tbey will say any
thing at all on the Hartley matter. Tbe
same Ignorance on platform Is professed by
tbe democrats. Tbey will doubtless swallow
anew the Kansas City platform, without
changing a cross of a T or the dot ot an I.
Some of them would like to disclaim re
sponsibility for the disgraceful perform
ance of the World-Herald when Bartley was
paroled, but the editor of that paper will
be here himself to protect Its Interests and
defend his position.

BODY NOW REPOSES IN WHITE HOUSE
Is Ttornp from Matinn to Vnmnna
i:ni Kofim with IrapresaUe Mil
Itnrj Ceremony and Left
for Miiht.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 16. The rxdy et
President McKlnley tonight lies In the
east room of tho White House, w-here for
more than four years he had made his
home as the chief magistrate of the great
American republic. Upstairs his widow
mourns for her dead In the family apart
ments that bring back many memories.
It was with simple ceremony and a silence
hat fitted tbe sadness of the occasion that
the body of the late president was bom
up Pennsylvania avenue to the White
House p.nd laid upon tbe bier In the great
cast room, where he had stood so often
In the pride of his manhood to receive
the greetlugR ot tbo common people he
loved better than himself.
It was fitting that such ceremony as
there was should be military In character.
Nowhere was there a show ot civilian par
ticipation. The streets about the station
were filled with mounted troops and the
station Itself was occupied by stalwart sol
diers and sailors In uniform.
It was not so on Pennsylvania avenue.
There the people strained and crowded la
a vast multitude against be stiff wire ropes
which restrained them from the space
marked out for the line of procession. The
silence that marked tbe progress of the
funeral party through tho national capital
was profound. The people as a whole did
not talk, even In whispers, and tbe only
sign of agitation In the great crowd was
tho silent pressing and striving Bgalnst tho
ropes to see tbe mournful cortege which
swept slowly along.
Cannon Herald Train' Approaeh.
The afternoon was cloudy and at the
'close ot the day begau the dull, depressing
boom of a great gun at Intervals of five
minutes. It was the signal which gave
notice of the approach ot the funeral train.
At the Pennsylvania railroad station men
In bright uniforms gathered, a mixture
ot soldiers and sailors, and with lowered
voices talked In groups while waiting to
take their parts In the ceremony. From
the brigadier general and naval captain
down to the humblest lloutenant, every
offi-Iat otf duty was there, save" a Tew of
high rank, who compoted the guard of
honor and waited at the White House.
Presently In dead silence two troops of
cavalry from Fort Meyer swung from Penn
sylvania avenuo Into Sixth street. Then
came Secretaries Hay and Oago and Acting
Secretary Sanger and Commissioner Mac-
Farland and a few subordinates privileged
to enter the sracc within tho s'atlon whero
the train was to stop. Among them was
the veteran Captain Charles Loffier, who
had been the personal messenger and usher
to President McKlnlcy and of every other
president back to President Grant: Major
Prudent, assistant secretary to the presi
dent; Mr. Barnes and Warren Young eni
others of tbe White House staff. These
and the array and navy officials waited In
side the station tbe speeding train. The
night was humid and dark and the sur
roundings depressing In spite ot the official
gold lace everywhere about.
.Vol Quite on Time.
The train was a little late. It was due at
5:25, but the clock stood at 8:38 when tbe
headlight ot the big locomotive flashed
along the rails and the cars rolled quietly
to a stop at the gates.
Tbe way was cleared and down the path
way strode a body of sturdy soldiers and
sailors chosen as the body bearers and
guard. They were met at the entrance of
the observation oar, where the remains lay
by an officer and admitted at once. Through
showed In wrappings of the national flag,
covered with rare garlands. Tbe under
takers' assistants removed the floral piece
to the vans which were to carry tbem to tbe
White House. The sailor with drawn
:utlass and the soldier with fixed bayonet
who stood grimly like men of stone at the
head and foot of the casket gave way
grudgingly to the seamen as though reluc
tant to abandon tbelr sad duty. Mean
while farther down tbe station tbe party
on tbe front train were alighting. Sec
retaries Hay and Gage had pressed forward
and entered tbe car wbcro the mourners
were and assisted them to descend.
Mr. McKlnley Hurried Home,
Mrs. MeKfhley was aided by Abner Mc
Klnley and Dr. Rlxey and was speedily
'placed In a carrtsge which drovo off at once
to the White House without awaiting tbe
who. likewise were driven away Into thH
executive mansion. Mrs. McKlnley was
deeply veiled. She appeared to bear up
with fortitude, but leaned heavily on the
arms of ber supporters.
President Roosevelt came next. His arm
was closely clasped by Captain Cowies of
the navy, bis brother-in-law, who walked
right hastily along between the files of
officers to tbe carriageway next the gates
of the station . The president walked firmly
erect, looking to neither side, his fsce
set and sorrowful. Close behind him
pressed the members of the cabinet, headud
by Secretary Hay and Secretsry Gage.
escorted by General Gillespie and a con
tingent of tbe ranking army and naval
walked without a sign of weakness and as
though be had nerved himself to the occa
sion. "Taps" Are Sounded,
Meanwhile tbe casket was being removed
from the obsei ration csr. One of the lara-e
wjndows was lowered at the side and slowly
and carefully the casket was slipped out
through tbe opening and tenderly received
upon the bent shoulders of the body
bearert. Four artillerymen from Fort Mr
Henry, Md., were on the right and four
tailors on the left. Straightening them
selves under tbelr burden, they walked
slowly toward tbe hear. Before the
casket marched four officers. Major Parker.

Major MrCaiiley, and In that order, while
