PRESIDENT While in the Act of Shaking Hinds With UN AVOWED ANARCHIST A Wild Scene Ensues The Litest Bulletin Issued by the Physicians in Attendance Gives Hopes ot Recovery.

At 10:45 Ihe following bulletin liy attending physicians was tlie only indication of the conditions of lhe president's Wounds: "The president is rallying and resting ciiinfiirlalily.

(Cntintnrsigned) George B, Oirt...|you, secretary lo lhe president. There was au instant, or ahniisi coin- plele silence. Tlie president si ond stuck still with a look of hesitancy, nl- Minst ■ if licwildcrnienl, on his face. Then he retreated a slep.while a pallor begun to steal over his features. Tlie iniiliiiiide, only partially aware that something serious hnd happened, paused in surprise while necks were erntied and all eyes turned as one to the rostrum where a great tragedy was being enacted, Then cuine a cunV* million. Three men threw themselves forward as with one iinpul-e and sprung toward Ihe would-be assassin. Two of I hem were U, S. secret service nun who were on the lookout and whose duty it was lo guard against just such a calamity as had here he fallen the president and the nation. The third was a bystander, a negro xx ho hnd only an instant previously grasped Ihe hand of the president. In a twinkling the assassin was borne tn l he ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp and strong arms pinioned him down. Then ih>-multitude whieh thronged the edifice begin to come to a realizing sense of the a» fulness of the scene of which Ihey had been unwilling witness. A murmur arose, spread and swelled to a hum of confusion, then grew to a babel of sounds aid later to a pandemonium of ii uses. The crowds that a mo.neni be fore had stood mule aud motionless as in bewildered ignorance of tlie enormity of Ihe thing now will) a single impulse surged forward, while Ium deeds outside struggled blindly tti* until the stage of the horrid drama, while a hoarse cry went up from a thousand throat- and a thousand men charged forward to liy hands upon lbe perpetrator of .the crime. Por the moment tlte oort fusion was terrible. The crowd singed .forward regardless* of consequences. Men sli.iut.eil an'l fought. Women fainted and children screamed. Many fled fiom the edifice in fear of a stampede, while hundreds outside struggled blindly forward in an effort to penetrate the crowded building and solve the mystery of the excitement, and panic .whicli.every moment grew and swelled within Ibe congested interior of the edifice. ' Inside on lhe slightly raised dais wns enacted wil hin a few liniments a tragedy so dramatic in character, so thrilling iiuits Intensity that few who looked on will he ever able in give n clear account of what really did transpire. Even those who attended the president came out witli blanched faces, trembling limbs and beating hearts, while their brains tliroiiliiid wilh n. tumuli of coiitliiting dilutions which could uot. he elKHtted into a lurid narraiive of evenis as they really transpired. Of the multitude whicli witnessed nr bore a part in the scene of turmoil inui the turbulence I here was bul one mind which seemed to relain ils ii|iiililiriuin, one hand that remained study, one eye which gazed with un- lliuching calmness, and one voice which retained its even tenor and faltered not nl the most critical June lure. They were Him mind and hand and eye and voice of President McKinley. After the first shock of the assassin's shot, he telrenled a step. Then as the detectives leaped upon his a*sall*uit, 'he walked slowly tn a-rluih- aiid-seated himself, at Ilie same time removing his bal and liowing his head in his hands. In an instant Secretary ('ortelyou and 1'iesideut Milhnrn were at his side, His waistcoat was hurriedly opened, tlie president meanwhile admonishing those almut him to he calm and telling them not lo lie al iinned, "But, you are wounded,"' cried his secretary, "Let me examine," "No, I think not," answered the president, "I am not hadly hurt, I assure you." Nevetlholess his garments wei*e hastily loosened and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind its way down his breast, spreading its telltale stain over his white linen, Iheir worst fears were confirmed. A force of Exposition guards were soon nn the scene and an effort was made to clear the huilding. By this time the crush was terrific. Spectators crowded down the stair ways from the gullet ies, the crowd on the floor surged forward toward tiie roBlrum, while, despite the strenuous efforts of police and guards the throng without struggled madly to obtain ailiuis-ton. Immediately the president was cared for at the exposition grounds, director geneial W, I, Buchanan started for ihe Milhnrn residence >.u forestall any information that, might, reach there by telephone or otherwise. Luckily he was first 10 arrive with the informs lion. The Niagara Falls trip had tired M"s. McKinley, and on returning to the Milium residence she took leave of her nieces, the Misses Barber, and the president's niece, Miss Duncan, as well as theii hostess, Mrs. Milhum,and went to her room to rest. Mr. Buchanan broke the news ns gently as possible to the nieces uud consulted wilh them and Mrs. Milhiun as to the liest course In pursue in breaking the news tn Mrs. McKinley. It was finally decidid lhat on her awakening, or shortly thereafter, Mr. Buchanan should break the news to her, if in the meantime her physician, Dr. Rixey, had not arrived. Mrs. McKinley awoke from her sleep at about 5.30 o'clock. She was feeling splendidly, she said, and at once took up her crocheting, which is one of her favorite diversions. Immediately on Mr. Buchanan's arrival at the Milhnrn house, he had telephonic communication cut otf. and he decided on this as the wisest course lo pursue, lest Mrs. McKinley, hearing the continual ringing of Ihe bell, might inquiie what it meant. While the light nf day continued Mrs. McKinley continued her crocheting, keeping In her room. When il became dark she began to feel anxious concerning the president. "I wonder why lie does not come?" she asked of her nieces. There was no clock in Mrs. McKinley's room, and when it wns 7 o'clock she had nn idea it was so late, and I hen il was she began to feel anxious concerning her husband, for it was time fnr him to return to the Mil burn home. At 7 o'clock Dr. Rixey arrived at the Milhnrn residence. He had lieen driven hurriedly dnwn Delaware avenue in an open carriage. As he came up, Mr. Buchanan wae out on the lawn conversing with a reporter. "Do you know," said Mr. Buchanan, "I had a sort ot premonition of Ihis. Since eaily morning I had been extremely nervous and feared that something would go wrong. Our trip to the Falls was uneventful, but what an awful sad ending to our day.'' At 7.20 o'clock Dr. Rixey came out of the house accompanied by Webb Hayes, n son of former President Hayes, wlin is a friend of President. McKinley's. They entered a carriage and returned to the Exposition hospital. After Dr. Rixey had gone, Mr. Buchanan said that the doctor had broken ihe news in a most gentle manner to Mrs. McKinley, He said she stood it bravely though much affected. If it was possible to bring him to hei' she wauled it done. Dr. Rixey assured her that the president could be brought wilh Mifely from Ihe Exposition grounds, and when he left Mr. Mil- burn's it was to complile all arrangements for 'lie removal of the president. A big force of patrolmen was assigned to the Milhiirn residence. At 7.30 Secretary Wilson and Mrs, Wilson called and were admitted to the Milhnrn residence. BUFFALO, September 0.—The man who at tempted to assassinate President. McKinley gave his name as Fred Nie- man, and said he belonged in Delmlt, Michigan. When arrested he was asked why lie shot the president and replied : "I am an Anarchist and have done my duly," Later he denied loa police officer thai he was an Anarchist. Buffalo, September 7.—Thc president's physicians issued the following bulletin at I o'clock this morning: "The president, is free from pain and Is restingwell. Temperature 100.4; pulse 80."

In tlie heavyweight, contest William Ross and John McLeod were the only entries, hut as there was a lightweight contest, the winners of which, if I hey drilled a deeper hole than ihe winners of Ihe heavyweight contest did, were lo take the first money in both contests, this made Ross and McLeod get In and drill.

At 10.25 p, in. Hawkins made his appearance, closely followed by Denny, each man being greeted with cheers from his supporters. Referee Oxley started the men off in good shape after having warned them. The first round was tame, hoih men fiddling a good deal and hardly a blow being struck. In the second ihey mixed up a little, seemingly getting warmed up a hit. The third round was lively, and honors up to Ihis stage were easy. In the fourth round Hawkins started in to make things hot and he chased his man all over I he ring. Denny at this lime seemed distressed, und acted on thu defensive, heing knocked down once und taking the eight seconds to get up. In Ihe fifth rouii.1 Hawkins rushed his man and knocked bim down four times, each time Denny taking the full lime limit to recover, Denny was plainly groggy, and it was seen he could nol hold out another round. The gong saved him from a knockout. It took Hawkins just two minutes in tlie sixth round to put Denny iu (he land nf nod, Denny heing cleanly put out by aright bander on the jaw, ' There was a fiir crowd iu attendance, hut not as large as the manage ment would have liked. The contest was the faatesi and hest ever seen in the Boundary country. The visitors from outside points foi' tlie day numbered close on lo 1,500. *»•. C. P. R. Official Killed. Vancouvkb. Sept., 4.—The following is an official report received hy General Superintendent Marpole to day: E. J. Duchesnay was killed nl most instantly at 10:50 this morning by a rock falling on him as him as he was directing the men in the west end of tunnel No. 11. The ml news was received as u severe shock in Vancouver this morning, where Mr. Duchesnay was widely known and respected. He held the position nf assistant general superintendent under Mr. Marpole. He had been on the track working tirelessly since last May, owing to the track men's strike, 'ind was on his way home 10 see his family for the first time since then, when overtaken hy the hand of death. He was killed while directing the men in subduing the Haines where the timbers in the tunnel 11 miles from North Bend had taken tire, Mr. Duchesnay was about 45 years old and had been connected with the 0. P. H. since 1873. He first woiked on Ihe A Igonia branch nn the engineer's staff and afterward on Ihe I„ke Superior and Nipissing divisions. He came west to take a position on the engineering staff in Vancouver. In 1806 his worth was recognized hy his being appointed superintendent. In IMW he was again promoted to the position of assistant general superintendent. Mr. Duchesnay married Miss Whitnall. He leaves her a widow with four children, mam Hope Mountain Survey. Pkincktiin, Sept. 3,-The provincial government survey |iarty, under the direction of former Governor Edgar Dewduey, has established headquar- teis on I he summit of the Hope range, at Shannon Hat. at Ihe head nf Dew. dney creek, in Summil City camp. The information was ,1. B. Silver- I borne, who has extensive interests there. Mr. Silvertliorne says that he had a conversation with Mr, Dewdney, #ho informed him that a pass through the range had heen discovered with a much hetter grade Ami had been- an licipaled. Even at Ihe early Btage of the survey Mr. Silverthnrne felt confi dent in saying that, a femiMa. route would he found to exist, for the pro |sised Coast-Kootenay railway. Two and one half miles down on the eastern slope of the mountain Mr. Dewdney wet Engineer Frank Mobur- ley and his force eainped at Sutter creek, a tributary of the Tulameen river. The latter were heading down towards Otter Hat. On the western slops of l he range another known us Deitdhorse camp, on the Coquihallu range. Mr. Silvettliorne wns informed while in Summit City camp that the work being done by Mr. Dewduey was lie second pn'iy lepresen'eil lie could not say. It was surmised that if was a Victoria, Vancouver k Eastern, railway party, while olheis iiiaintiiined il was a party placed in Lim field by former Minister of Mines Smith Curl is, M. P. P., of liossland, for ptiva'e pur puses. Mr. Cmiis has never regarded the governiuenl survey as an hnncL under taking to locate a feasible puss, hut more as a din ice to doilge a political issue. He declared at a public banquet given here a mouth ago I ha', he was inclined lo helieve that a report would be made against a railway through the Hope range in favor of one starting from Spence's Bridge, on the main line of the Canadian Pacific railway, He also announced that ilinli g lhe summer months he would personally explore two or three of the other known passes through the Hop.- range. Previous lo lhe ha,tiquet he had nl ready forestalled Ihe government's survey by taking levels from Princeton via Otter flat up to Suniiiiii City cump, wliere Mr. Dewduey hns nnw his head* quarters, Ou arriving at, whnt is known ns Railroad pass Mr, Dewdney's party found blazed ou a slake the following terse notice : 'Smith Clink August 2, 2U50 feel, and don't you fo ' get.il," Mr. Curtis failed to mention Ihis 'act at ihe banquet however, when he said thai a grade of less than two per 'cnl throughout this puss could he oil tained. He said Ihal afler visiting Victoria lie would run In Hop., lo compete his self imposed task of taking levels of nthei passes. Private advices received hy mail say ihat, he has outfitted u suney part) and it is believed his ntrt.y Is on the trail of lhe governiiieiii. engineers, checking up the level-, and grades on the Coqulinlla to the siiinnlil. In n few weeks lime he will again stmt frnm Hope to explore the Similk i- meen pass and the Rociie river pass, about 40 miles to Ihu south of Railroad pass, which he has already in- specied. This route i.s nearer to the Iiiipinaiiin.il boundary line. The people of Princeton and lho disiriol .ire pleased with the action of Mr. Curtis. They say that it will now lie hutushort time hefore the government will be compelled lo reopen negotiations for the early construction of the Cnasi-Knotenay railway. MINERAL ACT 1896.

Ifnni- iiiehneyer, f.ituerly manager nf the fiuiily Edith mine, hns heen engaged to manage il and it looks very much as if he will lie required to repeat the performance with the Fairview property thai Captain Gilford was culled it pun to do with the Silver King mine, that of galvanizing inlo life what, appeared to he a dead property. The Fairview company luis good assets, hut up tu data it appears to have heen unahle to turn them to account. In uddilion to its gold properly the corporation has extensive townsite interests, as well ns coal lands, said to ho of considerable value, hut the gnld mine is the main spring, the successful operation of which is in h measure necessary lo give value to the nther holdings. This is the work wliieh has heen cut nut lor manager Itnniiueluieyer, and if it ran he done he may he depended upon to do it. The Fairview conipnny wns original ly stocked fur ijU.IXKMIIK) In shares of 25 rents each, considerable quantities were disposed of al. this figure. An unsuccessful attempt wus made to float lhe properly on the London market, anil failing this a loan of $40,000 was secured for development purposes from the (loiiderhuin-ftlackstiick people in Toronto. A morlgiige was given lo secure ihis loan, and at the same time the Toronto people took an option nn a considerable block of the Fairview stock. It is altogether likely that this option wnuld have lieen taken up hut for the slump iu War Eagles which occurred fume I iine later. The circumstance that tlie option was allowed to lapse was not uii welcome lo tbe principal holders of Fairview, howevei, as in ihe development resulting from the proceeds of the limn a much higher grade uf ore was struck lhan any previously encountered in the property. Considerable shipments uf ore were made to mills in the vicinity, and frnm 'he proceeds a substantial portion of the loan was pnid back, lt was decided, howevei', if the company wns to work the property itself, it would he necessary lo proceed with leconstruc- tion and the esult was lhat theold stuck ivas called in and new stuck is- sued ou whicli 'ii cents were ceilitctl as having been paid wilh a call of a cent and a half to be paid upon the cancellation of the old slock and the issue of the new. The compuny is now proceeding with tbe Installation of a stamp mill, and hy lhe Hrst of October ex pert to l-e dropping 3f stump*, which it is estimated will render possihle the treatment of 75 tons of ore in the '11 hours, The property itself is opened up to a depth of 300 feet by means of a shaft, and the showing consists of a large body of re varying in width from 20 toSOfeet, which it is estimated will yield from $5 to $9 per tun, 8uccess or failure therefore depends upon the average value tbis ore will yield across the entire body. Careful figuring has led the officers of the company to believe lhat wilh a uniform return of $6 per ton in gold a good return can he secured. Previous tests with lhe mill now being erected has shown that 80 per cenl. of the values of the ore can he retained in tlie milling. Thete are nt present considerable quantities of ore on the Fairview dumps which is said to run from fft to #5 per Ion. This in itself would yield a good return on milling, now that it is out, hut the program of the company at present is to keep this in a measure ns a reserve and operate the mill as largely as possible from the output of lhe mine, using tlie dump mote for maintaining a uniform grade of ore lhan any olher purpose, Fairview is one of the best known British Colunihia stocks on theeusteui Canadian markets. It hns gone frnui par (o almost nothing, so Ibat success in bringing it again iipnn its feet would lie a gnat feather in the cap of any mining man. For this reason the pro gress of Fairviews under the manage ment of E, Iiainmelmeyer will he ful lowed with interest not only by those who havo invested in the stock but hy mining men in general. **•< Hossland, B. C, Aug.31.-W. L. Springei, president of the Chicago- British Columbia Milling Company, announces (hat a group of Chicago manufacturers and capitalists has taken an option on the controlling inlerest in the Standard Pyrilio Smeller Company at Oreenwood together with all the smelter company's assets, which include the Marguerite properly adjoining the Mother Lode, alio] the Standard, a promising property, Tlie npi ion is fur a short tune only, and he expected thut the matter would he closed favorably shortly afler the arrival of himself and friends at Chicago. If a sale be consummated as he expect - ed, as the Chicago people have lieen very fivorahly impressed with the niiilonk, h« snys the plant would he blown in at an early date. Hedeclan d he is fatisiled that there is abundant ore available to keep the plant in constant operation for au indefinite period.
