Transcript	-18th- Str "Queen" came into port this afternoon & we are greatly shocked at the attempt to assasin =ate President McKinley. We received the papers of two days - the day he was shot & the day after - we will not know the result but must continue in painful suspense until the next mail comes in. Expressions of sympathy are heard everywhere, and the act meets with universal horror and execration. A public meeting will be held at Congregational Church on Sunday night. - I am asked to respond to resolutions condemning the horrible act & will do so. -19th- Pushing court matters hard, - meet with earnest support and sympathy from the business people who seem to be anxious to clean up the bad mess that the court is in. I am deciding everything promptly - at least. Will remain at "Golden Gate" Hotel.
