keeping back the approach of death.
The President came out of one period

his mind was partially clear. occur-

said was ;-"The end has uot eonie

NO EFFORTS SPARED,
Despite the feat that vitality con -
tamed 'to ebb as midnight approach-

the spark of life glowing. Dr.
Janeway, of New York City, ar-
rived at the Buffalo depot at 11.40
o'clock, and drove at a. breakneck
pace to the Milburn house. He was
shown to the President's roozn at
once, and began an extunination of
the almost inanimate form.
Secretary of the Navy Long arriv-

o'clock. This was his first visit to
the city, and he had the extreme
satisfaction of seeing the President

ACTS DISALLOWED.
British Columbia Measures No
Longer Law.
A despatch from Ottawa says : -
At Thursday's meeting of the .Cabin-
et an order -in -Council was passed
disallowing two Of the Acts of- the
British Volumbia Legislature of last
year, against which the Japanese
Government has so vigorously pro-
tested. One of these measures is
chap. 11, entitled "An Act to Regu-
late Immigration into British Col-
umbia." It is practically a copy of
what is known as the Natal Immi-
gration Act, and imposes education-
al qualifications upon immigrants
, generally. Chap. 14, which is also
'disallowed, is an Act relating to
the employment on works carried on
under franchises, granted by private
Acts of incorporation. ,
The obnoxious provision of the
statute in question debars from em -
I ployment with such company any
!person. who "shall fail to read in a
'language of Europe this Act." This
provision would eleue out fully 95
per cent. of the Japanese and Cilia

ployment with coburlaptaionle.S possessing

LOSING ALL HIS VANITY.,

A despatch from. Buffett), -jr
sa.ys:-Nobody outside of official; dr -
cies sees Czolgasz, but it is said that
he inis grown to ee even a more re-
pulsive object than when he was fli•st
locked up with hid face batterea and
his clothes. torn and bloody: Ile has
aot been permitted to shave and his
face is covered with it growth of
scraggy beard that is uot an. orna-
ment.
The police are uot worrying about
their prisoner's personal appearance.
The duties he has to do are simple.
They consist Of sleeping on his
plank, eating his meals, And now and
then appearing for further cross -ex.

lug are optional, but the appearance
for cross-exatuina.tion is imperative.,
l'robably he enjoys it. It is the on-
ly change he has. Hts guards an-
swer none of his questions, and he
has quit asking them. So far as is
known he thinks the President is

had on when he shot the President.,.

It wes their duty to secure any for

President. The button -holes be the
collar nt his shirt are ripped apart.
Ills ludo is long, heavy, and tan-,
gled. It falls over his face and, ears,
and is beginning to turn up at the
back of the neck. Czolgosz made
otie request for a comb. It was de -
!Wed him, and since then he has not
displayed the slightest interest in his
personal appearance.
As be appears now, there are not
very meny men who would be pleas -
c(1 to meet Czolgosz in it 1011eIV by-
way at might. There is a good deal
of the annual in his make-up. Tim
police say he has the phrenological
, characteristics 00121111,022 to erinduals
of a, low and degraded elass.
It is ugain reported that. the 11.1210
is breaking down, but this probably
is an exaggeration. His gluttonous
appetite may lia.ve fallen off a little,
as is said to be the case. That is
only natural. It is Ea: surprisine
either that the seclusion of a, dun-
geon and the absolute isolation from
the world and from any echo of what
is being said aud done about Mtn is
a condition that has a cooling effeet
even upon conceit WS great as his.
Thinking the President is dead ho
probably expects to be executed, and
It is likely lie would hill himself if he
got the chance. Very good care is
taken that he does not get the
chance. and that none of his Auer-
chise confederates by any device gets
to him the means of a happy end.
\Mettler the Goldman woman will
be brought here is a matter that is
under discussion, as is the possibility
, of convictieg her of being an accom-
plice in the crime if she were brought
to trial here. As to the disposition
of her case, as well as in every other
matter connected with Cizolgosz and
his deed, the local authorities aro

sinations. He declared that he' had
information to the effect that
