NOTABLE MEN ABOUT THE BIER
Simple Ceremony In the Rotnnda of
the Capitol Thousands of Per
sons Passed in Line to
View the Body.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. All. that is
mortal of William McKinley is speeding
towards its last earthly resting-place at
his home in Ganton, after the Nation had
officially and with state ceremony paid its
tribute of respect and .love to the mem
ory of its stricken Chie'f Magistrate. This
was almost the closing act in the awful
tragedy which has drenched the civilized
world in tears.
Beneath the great white dome of the
Capitol funeral services of state were held
today over the remains of the dead Presi
dent. It was eminently fitting that the
services should be conducted in that beau
tiful rotunda, hallowed by the history of
the last sad rites of two other martyrs
to the cause of the Hepubllc. As befitted
the occasion and the character of the man
whose remains were! lying cold and rigid
In the narrow embrace of the metallic
casket, the services were simple. They
were conducted in accordance with the
rites of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
of which President McKinley was a life
long member. Consisting only of two
hymns, a song, a prayer, an address and
a benediction, they were beautiful and
solemnly impressive.
Gathered around the bier were repre
sentatives of every phase of American
life, including the President and the only
surviving ex-President of the United
States, together with the representatives
at this capital of almost every nation of
the earth. Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy and Spain and all the repub
lics to the southward of the "United States
mingled their tears with those of the
American people.
Despite the fact that no attempt had
been made to decorate the interior of the
rotunda beyond the arrangements made
about the catafalque, th eassemblage pre.
sented a memorable sight. The somber
black of the attire of the hundreds of
civilians present was splashed brilliantly
with the blue and gold of the representa
tives of the Army and the Navy and the
court costumes of the diplomatic corps.
The Kunernl Services.
As the sweet notes of the hymn, "Lead,
Kindly Light," floated through the great
rotunda, the assemblage rose to its feet.
Bared heads were bowed and eyes
streamed with tears. At the conclusion
of the hymn, as Rev. Dr. Naylor, presid
ing elder of the Washington circuit, rosq
to offer prayer, the hush that fell upon
Ithe-peopleovas- profound. When in coijolu--
sion he repeated the Lord's Prayer the
grqat audience joined solemnly with him.
Scarcely had the- word "amen' been
hreathed when the liquid tone of that
sweetlypleading song. "Some 'Time We'll
Understand," went straight to the heart
of every auditor. The solo was sung by
Mtrs. Thomas C. Noyes, of this city, and
the. beautiful refrain was echoed and
re-echoed by the double quartet choir.
The venerable Bishop Edwin G. An
drews, the oldest bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, then took his position
at the head of the bier. A gentle breeze
through the rotunda stirred the delicate
blooms which lay upon the coffin, and
the "peace that passeth all understand
ing" seemed to rest upon the venerable
man's countenance as he began his eulogy
of the life and works of William McKin
ley. His words were simple, but his whole
heart was in every one of them. Upon
the conclusion of the sermon the audience,
as if by prearrangement. Joined the choir
in pinging "Nearer, My God, to Thee."
Mrs. McKinley did not attend the serv
ices at the Capitol. It was deemed wise
by those now nearest and dearest to her
that she should not undergo the ordeal.
She remained at the White House, com
forted by every attention that loving
thoughtfulness could suggest.
Testerday was a perfect Autumn day,
but this morning dawned gray and dreary.
The sky was overcast with low-flying
clouds. Nature herself seemed to be in
mourning for the Nation's dead. As the
hours passed dashes of rain fell at Inter
vals; but, despite this discomfort, both
sides of Pennsylvania avenue from the
White House to the Capitol were massed
with an impenetrable cordon of people
wishing In this way to pay final tribute
of love and respect for the dead. As
the funeral cortege, escorted by troops
representing every department of the Na
tion's martial service and by representa
tives of religious and civil organizations
passed down the broad sthoroughf are to
the solemn notes of the "Dead March
From Saul" wailed by the bands, the sor
rowing people bared their heads despite
the rain, and the many tear-stained faces
bespoke their grief more eloquently than
words. It was a silent throng. With
aching hearts all remembered that only
a few months ago the dead President,
then In the fullness of life and trlumoh.
had passed along that same thoroughfare
to be Inaugurated a second time President.
The flags that had fluttered greetings to
him in March were furled and crape
bedecked in September. The cheers of
Spring became the sobs "of Autumn. Grief
had usurped the place of joy. It was
with solemn and cadenced tread the pro
cession moved down the avenue. The peo
ple recognized as one of the mourners
their ex-President, Grover Cleveland, who
had ccme to pay his tribute to his suc
cessor. They recognized, too, their new
President, upon whom the responsibilities
of Chief 'Executive had been thrust so un
expectedly. With silent salute they greet
ed him, and with them he mingled his
tears In sorrow for the dead.
Viewing the, Remains.
At the conclusion of the funeral ser
vices in the rotunda the casket lid was
removed In order that the immediate
friends of the dead President might be
afforded the comfort of a last glance at
his features, and that the people whom
he loved and loved him might pass the
bier for the same purpose. At half past
12 the crowds began to pass through the
rotunda, and during the six hours in
which the body was lying in state it iff
estimated that 55,000 people view the re
mains. Just at 1 o'clock, a frightful calamity
was .narrowly averted at the east front
of the Capitol. For hours a vast throng
of people had been massed in front of
the Capitol, awaiting an opportunity to
enter the rotunda. When the doors were
opened the people rushed frantically to
the main staircase. The police and mili
tary gaurds were swept aside and almost
in a twinkling there was a tremendous
crush at the loot of the great stair
case. The imr tense throng swept back
ward and forward like the surging of a
michtv sea. Women and children, a few
I of the latter babes in arms, were caught
in the crowd and many were badly hurt.
Strong 'men held children and even
women high above the heads of the
surging crowd, to protect them from
bodily injuries. Despite the efforts of the
police and military and cooler heads in
the throrig, approximately 100 people
were Injured. Some of the most seriously
hurt were Carried into the rotunda and
into various adjoining apartments of the
Capitol, where fresh air treatment was
given them. Many were hurried to the
hospitals in ambulances, but the majority
were taken subsequently to their homes.
When the n remains of the dead Presi
dent were finally closed forever from the
view of "Washington people, the cavalry
escort was again formed and conveyed
them to the special train, which Is now
carrying the body to Canton.
HIS FIRST CABINET MEETING
Roosevelt Asks tlie Mcmlicrs to Re
main Throughout the Term.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. President
Roosevelt at 3 o'clock convened his first
Cabinet meeting held ia Washington. At
this meeting the President asked the
members of Mr. McKinley's Cabinet to
retain their respective portfolios through
out his term, and announced that his Ad-
ao9tl '

ee-eet9-eeeee
ministration would follow the policy out
lined by President McKinley in his Buf
falo speech.
After the obsequies over the late Presi
dent, the Cabinet, at President Roose
velt's request, assembled at the residence
of Commander Cowles, where the Presi
dent is staying until after the funeral,,
principally lor tne -purpose oi miorm
ing their new chief of the state of af
fairs in their respectfve 'departments.'
The President desired to learn if 'there
were any matters of moment requiring
his attentionbefore his departure tonight
for Canton. He was assumed that -there
was nothing of pressing importance.
The President then addressed his ad
visers collectively, as -he had previously
done Individually, requesting them all to'
retain their respective positions in his'
Cabinet. Mr. Roosevelt expressed the
hope and expectation that every member
would serve throughout his term, for he
said he tendered the appointments as If
he had just been elected to the Presi
dency and was forming his original Cabi
net. The President said, however, that
there was one difference between the
present tender and that of 'an original
offer namely, that under the present cir
cumstances they were not at liberty to
decline'.
Upon being asked by a member If res
ignations should be formally presented
in the usual manner, the President an
swered that his action at this meeting
had precluded the necessity of presenting
resignations. The discussion turned upon
the policy of the Administration, and Mr.
Roosevelt announced that he regarded the
speech of the late President at the Buffalo
Pan-American Exposition, made previous
to the tragic shooting, as outlining the
policies to be followed by the Administra
tion. It cannot be learned at this time whether
or not all the members will be willing to
serve the full term.
The Cabinet members, with the excep
tion of Secretary Hay -and Secretary
Long, will accompany the remains of
the dead President to Canton and par
ticipate in the funeral ceremonies Thurs
day. Secretaries May and Long remained
inWashington at&jthe President's request,
Mr. Roosevelt thinking that some mem
bers of the Cabinet should continue In
Washington. $
Besides holding the Cabinet meeting
here, Roosevelt saw a few callers dur
ing the afternoon. At 7:30 o'clock he and
Commander Cowles left the latter's resi
dence for the Pennsylvania Railroad sta
tion to take the train for Canton. Mrs.
Roosevelt will; leave Here at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning for Oyster Bay, L. I.

Th6 great bronze doors of the Capitol,
In which the body. had lain In state, had

of people waiting to get a last glance at
the casket. When the guards, at the Cap

was lifted . once more on the shoulders
-of the body bearers,-and by them borna
to the hearse at the foot of the east steps
of the Capitol.
Thirty minutes was required for the
removal of the body , from the Capitol
. to the train. The escort on this jour
ney consisted of committees from the
A rmif o Tir? f y Votnf ntid nm enna r$rrrtc ff
. the Eleventh Cavalry. The route was
down Pennsylvania avenue, which was
.lined on either side by troops of the Dis
trict of Columbia. It was a quiet jour
ney, without music. Not a driim was
heard nor a funeral note. Nor was there
a sound from the crowd which lined the
broad street. Notwithstanding that the
hour was late, the air chill and a light
mist falling, hats were uniformly re
moved as the cortege passed. At tho
Pcjjnsylvanla Railroad station there was
a dense throng and the remains were re
ceived by large delegations of Army and
Naval officers. There the soldiers and
seamen carried the casket from the hearse
to the observation car placed In the sec
ond section of the funeral train. The cas
ket was placed on standards draped with
the National colors. It was covered with
floral emblems.
No less than 20 cars were required for
the transportation of the funeral party to
Canton. Tomorrow, still another train
will carry to Canton a large party of
Senators and Representatives and others
prominent in National life. The three sec
tions into which the train was divided left
at 10-mlnute intervals.
President Roosevelt's arrival at the
train occurred at 7:50, and was unmarked
by Incident. His brother-in-law. Com
mander Cowles, of the Navy, accompanied
him.
It was jU9t before 8 o'clock when Mrs.
McKinley was driven to the station. To
prevent the tiring effect of the walk from
the carriage entrance to the car set apart
for her next to the head of the train, a
rolling chair had been provided for her.
She declined this, however, and walked

section having preceded it 10 minutes.
The observation car, bearing the re
mains, was flooded with light. Through
its crystal sides could be seen the beau
tiful draped casket, with its mass of rare
blossoms, so arranged that even as the
train swept through the night the peo-
ple In the country it passed through might !
gaze on tne ca&Ket wun a soiaier siana-
ing grimly at the head, and a sailor, car

Ten minutes later the third section of
the train, bearing the Army and Navy
officers, sped away and the National Capi
tal had performed its part of the funeral
ceremonies.

journey. The curtains of the train were
drawn as It pulled out of the station,
save only for the observation car in which
the corpse lay. The countless thousands

suburbs of the National Capital, waiting"

VERGE OF COLLAPSE
Mrs. McKinley, Apparently,
Is Breaking Down.
FRIENDS SERIOUSLY ALARMED
They Dread the Approaching By
In the Q,uiet of fler Homti at
Canton Weaker Than at
Buffalo.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Th frtonds of
Mrs. McKlnly are seriously aJarmol
about her. They speak with grave ap
prehension of the days that ar& soon to
come, when she will be borne up no longer
by her sense of duty and the sustaining
force of her desire to perform her full
part In the ceremonies that the National
character and tragic end of hur dis
tinguished husband made appropriate.
They dread the approaching days in th
quiet of her homa at Canton, where hr.
beloved "Major" will not be near to com
fort her In the reaction that will follow
inevitably after the present shock?
It is believed that she will be aWe to
go through the services at Canton with
out too great dlttlculty, but, ultimately,
a collapse la greatly feared. At present
her condition justifies the hope that thera
will be no breakdown, at least until tho
final offices have been paid to the dead.
This evening, Mrs. McKinley is con
siderably weaker than when at Buffalo,
but continues to bear up with great forti
tude. This afternoon she gave vent to
ller grief more freely than at any tlm
since the tragedy. She sobbed and cried
for a long time, and these paroxy?mJ
of grief sapped her strength to Quite
degree. Dr. Rixey was with his patient
several times during- the day and spent
quite a little while with her late m the
afternoon. After his last call he said ho
was fairly confident of Mrs. McKinley's
ability to take part in the services at Can
ton. She has had a long and sever
shock, however, and In order that she
may become gradually accustomed to tn.
change wrought In her life by the sad
death of the President. It Is probable th it
Secretary Cortelyou and Dr. Rixey wul
remain in Canton for some time to soot i
and comfort the widow In the grtef ana
terror that must come when, in her oat
home, she gradually realises m its fuller
degree that her main support and eomforl
in life has been taken away.
Among those who called at the Whlu
House during the afternoon and spent .i
short time with Mrs. McKinley weve : r-i
Roosevelt, Mrs. Garrett A. IIobrt and
Mrs. John A. Logan.
