CANT02C, O., Sept 17. Canton is ready for the last homecoming .of William Mc Kinley. In other days she has welcomed him with cheers, with -waving banners and triumphal inarches. Tomorrow she will receive Mm in silence, with streets hung with solemn black and with the walling- notes of dirges. All day long hundreds of anen and women have labored in their task of arranging the decorations on the jublc buildings, pn, the fronts of commercial houses and over the windows and porticos -of private residences. At sunset tonight Canton was shrouded in black, and -so she will remain until the body of her beloved son has been com mitted to the vault in Westlawn ceme- At frequent intervals during the day there have resounded from the pavements the sound of marching feet as a military or -blvlc organization .made Its way into the city to be Jn rsJldinees for the duties of tomorrow and of Thursday. They are but the first wave of the human tide -which Is to come. From early morning until late in the evening there has been a constant procession, of visitors moving along North Market street to the Mc 3Kiniey home a house easily distinguished from all others on the street, in that It is the only one not draped in black. There is today no sign of mourning on the house, or will there be until the dead President has been borne through its doorwav Wednesday night. Throughout the dav visitors" have stood in knots under the trees that line the walks in front, or hung o'er the Jow irpn fence, talking low and in whispers, as if the illustrious dead were already wlthn tls walls. As far as lies "within Its "power, the local committees have completed their arrangements for the funeral. Wednes day's programme is arranged, and Thurs dav's, too, if word would but come from Washington givlrig approval of the plans suggested. Tomorrow, upon its arrival at 11 A M.. the train "will be met by mem bers of the Ioyal Liegion and executive committees, by hundreds of the personal friends of President McKinley and by the following -gentlemen, who have been selected from Washington to act as hon orarv pallbearers during the services In Canton: John C. Xueber, George B. Frease, R. A. Cassidy, William R. Day. Joseph Sierhle, Henry W. H. Atter, Will iam M. Lynch and Thomas T. McCarthy All !were 'intimate friends of the Presi dent during his lifetime. Troop A of Cleveland, will act as es cort in the march from the Pennsylvania station to the Courthouse, where tho bod will lie in state. There will be no at tempt at forming a column. The cavalry will lead the way, the hearse, drawn by fnur coal-black horses, will follow, and then will come the carriages bearing the members of the family and the distin guished visitors. The casket will be placed in the rotunda of- the Courthouse, and as soon as possible the doors will be opened to allow the citizens of Canton the opportunity of paying their last trib ute of reenect to the dead President. Large detachments of militia and police -nill be present to facilitate the handling of the crowds, and as the time allowed for the casket in the Courthouse Is con sidered none too long, every effort will be made to expedite matters- The crowd will be formed in line four abreast at the south door of the Courthouse, the line to extend westward "on West Tuscarawas street. Admission will be by ranks of fnur. and the ranks will be made to move rapidly. Until 9 o'clock at night the body will remain in the Courthouse, and im mediately after that hour it will be taken to the family residence. Canton Post, G. A. P., composed almost entirely of mem bers of President McKinley' s old regi ment, the Twenty-third Ohio, will escort the body to the house. Tbis is as far as the definite programme of the Canton committee extends tonight It is their wish that early on the morn ing of Thursday the body will be returned to the Courthouse and again lie in state until it is time to leave for the First Methodist Church, where the funeral services are to begin . at 2 o'clock, but whether the family will agree to this is not known yet. The time allowed for th entire exercises in the church is 45 min utes. The programme is not entirely ar ranged for the services, but they will be simple a discourse by Rev. C E. Man chester, of the First Methodist Church; a prayer by Rev- C. H. Milligan, of tho Presbyterian Church, and a Scripture reading by some clergyman not yet se lected; a quartet composed of Mrs. W. H. Smith, Miss Rachel Frease. J, F. Mel bourne and Ralph Brown will sing "Lead, Kindly Light,' and a second quartet com posed of Misses Hattle Levlnger, Fannie Xievlnger, Jeanette Bayhof and Katherine Baeh'erns -Rill also sing. The maslc to be sung by this quartet has not been selected. At the conclusion of the services in the church the slow march to the cemetery will be taken up: The casket will be placed In the re ceiving vault, but before it Is -taken in side the casket will be rested upon sup ports standing. upon the stone walk lead ing to the vault. This will be for the purpose of allowing those who have taken part in the parade and who have been prevented by their duties from being present in the Courthouse to have an op portunity of viewing the remains. If the present programme is.carrled out, the cas ket will remain on the walk outside the vault ,i rum . one .to two hpurs. When finally placed -inside the vault a guard will be thrown around It, and day and night until its-'flnal resting-place is pre pared It "will be "surrounded by armed men. Because pf theiorowds; expected, Mayor Robertson this afternoon Issued a procla mation declaring that between the hours of 10 A. M- and 9 P- M. Wednesday night no traffic vehicles, automobiles or bicycles shall be allowed, on those -streets which are to be used by the funeral cortege. The same proclamation orders that busi ness houses .be closed ' Wednesday and Thursday. The local executive .committee held a protracted meeting tonight and decided that the hour for the commencement of the funeral exercises at the First Metho clst Church, Thursday, should be 1:30, in stead of 2 o'clock, as previously arranged.

ON THE PLAINS OF ABRAHAM Canadian Troops Reviewed br the Duke of Cornwall and York. QUEBEC, Que., Sept. 17. The cere monies of the last day's stay of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall in the ancient capital of Canada included a review of the troops mobilized for their reception, a dinner on the royal yacht Ophlr and an Illumination of the harbor and city. Rain fell almost Incessantly during the day and the crowds that gathered early in the morning were speedily dispersed and driven Indoors. The luncheon and gen eral reception at Spencerwood, the offi cial residence of the Lieutenant-Governor, was canceled as a marl: of respect to' the dead American President and further plans for an expression of regret were made, but unavoidably abandoned. ' The Duke and Lord MInto, Governor-General of Canada, decided to be personally rep resented at Washington. The former des ignated Commander Godfrey Fausette, naval aide de camp, as his representative, but it was discovered that it would be Impossible for him to reach there before the departure of the funeral train for Canton, and the idea of sending any one was regretfully given up". A chilly wind swept across the Plains of Abraham, but the review was bravely finished.. The Duke refused all tenders of shelter and rode lri view in his bril liant uniform of honorary Colonel of the Seventh Fusiliers. Despite the rain the military exhibition was a bright one. yive thousand fighting men, Including a naval contingent of about 300, were massed on the green-carpeted plains in sight of the Wolfe monument. There were long lines of scarlet tunics and platoon after platoon of gay-colored kilts with rows of blue and green, all touched with white and yellow for contrast. A dozen bands played the' airs to which the Brit ish army marches and when the Duke ar rived and the picture became a moving one. It was at its best. The Duchess was the first of the royal party to apppar. She came in a barouche drawn by four horses, with mounted pos tilions, and escorted by the Queen's Own Canadian Hussars in dark uniform corded with yellow. As she drove up the line the spectators cheered her enthusiastically, and she smiled her acknowledgments. She was.escorted to a roofed stage in the cen ter of the field, and a few minutes later the Duke entered "the parade grounds es corted by his staff, and proceeded to in spect the troops. The review followed, and when it was over the Duke presented medals to 113 Canadians who saw service in the South African War. Some were in the uniforms ot their regiments, others in civilian -attire. The Duke personally com plimented each , of the, soldiers as he banded him his medal. ) The royal party returned to the citadel at 1 o'clock, and, after resting' until 5 o'clock, went aboard the Ophir. They were escorted to the wharf by a detach ment of the Queen's Own Hussars, and to night they gave a dinner aboard to a distinguished party.- The harbor, and city were brilliantly illuminated. The,' warships were outlined in strings of lights, and far up on the heights of the city the lines of Incandescent lamps were -woven Into attractive -designs. The names of Wolfe, Montcalm, r Jacques-Car tier, Chainplaln and other historic figures were spelled out in letters of light. The royal party, ac companied by Lord .Minto, Premier Ivtu. ricr and a largo number of Dominion tiili piafs. will Iea3:e at 0:35 o'clock tomorrow for Montreal. ( The party rill stop "two days at Montreal, and then will go to Ottawa. FUSION IN NEBRASKA. Democrats Get the Henil of the Ticket, Populists the Regents. "XINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 18 Fusion be tween the Democratic and Populist par ties of ' Nebraska was effected by their state conventions after sessions held in separate halls beginning shortly before 3 o'clock In the afternoon of Tuesday and continuing until 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. The Democrats are given the head of the ticket; Supreme Justice and two Regents of the university go to the Populists. The ticket is: Justice of the Supreme Court Conrad Hollenbeck, Dodge County. Regents of the 'University J. H. Boy ston. Frontier County; Fred G. Hawxby, Nemaha County. Both conventions were well attended, but the Populist proceedings were apa thetic compared with previous gatherings. The Democrats, on the other hand, showed more .of their old-time vigor. Absolute faith in the leadership of W. J. Bryan marked the speeches and resolutoins, and the mention of his name was the sjgnal for hearty applause. Hostility was de clared to reorganization of the party on any line of policy different from the pres ent. In both conventions feeling reference to the dead President was made by the chair man. Third Party Conference. KANSAS CITY, Sept. 17. Nearly 300 delegates arrived here today to attend the "Allied Third Party" conference, called by Jo A Parker, chairman of the People's .Party National Committee, to perfect aunion of all reform parties. The delegates came from 13 states and repre sent the public ownership party, Liberal Socialists, MIddle-of-the-Road Populists, Fusion Populists, Silver Republicans and the Single Tax League. The largest dele gation came from St. Louis and numbered 192 men, headed by Dr. J. E. Chambers. The conference committees of the several parties did- not meet in joint conference today, the -entire time being taken up by separate committee meetings, consid ering the formulation of a platform and the choosing of a -name for the new oganization.- The joint conference will meet tomorrow morning, when a clash is not unlikely, as the Populists are not disposed to surrender their name and identity. In fact, the Populist delegates assert that they have no authority to take such a step and cannot do so with out the consent of their constituents. The joint conference will be called to order by J. H. Cook, of Carthage, Mo., chair man of the Fusion wing of the Populist party. Doctors DIkcuss the Autopsy. NEW YORK, Sept. 17. Physicians in this city are still much interested in the report of the post mortem examination made by the doctors who attended Presi dent McKinley. Several experts upon gun-shot wounds are quoted as to Presi dent McKfnley's death in the Times. One of these. Dr. Ro"bert H. M. Dawbarn, thinks that Czolgoez shot the President with a dirty revolver, and that the bullets fired from such close quarters carried a considerable .amount of filth Into the missile's entire track. He further thinks that ordinary microbes were In troduced iutp ,the wound, and that practically a .cultune cabinet for such microbe was supplied by the injured tis sues. The result, he. thinks, was the poisoning, of -the. President's' flesh. He doubts that the assassin intentionally poisoned the bullets, aa has been sug- gesieu lu svmv (juuners, - j WITH MILITARY POMP REMAINS OF LATE PRESIDENT ES CORTED TO THE CAPITOL. All Branches of the Government Ser vice Represented In the Proces sionThe Civil Division. WASHINGTON, jSept. .17 The morning of the day set for the . state funeral of the late President McKinley opened as somber as the occasion.. The sky was overcast, rain fell occasionally giving way for momentary intervals to gleams of dull sunshine,- and- a soft wind barely stirred the-signs of mourning on building fronts- ' The second, stage of the late President's journey toward the waiting -grave at Can ton was begun, just ai few minutes after 9 o'clock this morning. An hour earlier the officers of the Government, civil, mili tary and judicial, began to arrive, and many others whose names are familiar the world over came singly and in groups, to pay their tribute at this time to the Na tion's illustrious dead. Several members of jthe diplomatic corps in court costume were among the early comers. Ex President Cleveland -and ex-Secretary of War Lamont arrived about 8:30. and ---fr-0 - NEW-COMMANDER JUDGE ELI O0 ----- were shown to seats In the Red parlor. The members of the Cabinet began to ar rive soon after, and were immediately fol lowed by the members of the Senate com mittee and the members of the Supreme Court, headed by Chief Justice Fuller, in their robes of office. President Roosevelt arrived at 8:50 o'clock, accompanied by his wife and his sister, and went to the Blue parlor, where they were joined by the members of the Cabinet. Tho Presi dent wore a frock coat, with a band of crepe on the left arm. Start From the White Ilonsc. Precisely at 9 o'clock a silent command was given and the body-bearers silently and reverently raised to their stalwart shoulders the casket containing all that was mortal of the illustrious dead. They walked with slow cadenced step and as they appeared at the main door of the White House, trne Marine Band, standing on the avenue opposite the Mansion, struck up the hymn the dead President loved so well. "Nearer, My God, to Thee." There was perfect silence through out the big mansion, and as the last1 sad strain of music died away the throns in the building lifted their heads, but their eyes were wet. As the hearse moved away the mourners from the White House entered carriages and followed the body on its march to the Capitol, where the funeral services were to be held. Major-General John R. Brooke was at the head of the line, mounted on a splen did charger. Behind him came his aides, the red-coated artillery band, a squadron of cavalry, with red and white guidons, limp In the damp air, a battery of field artillery with the men sitting straight and still as stutues, a company of engineers, two battalions of Coast Artillery and a, detachment of the Hospital Corps. Then came the Naval contingent of the first sec. tlon, headed by the Marine Band, who were followed by a battalion of marines -.j n nf caJlriT-c frnm tho TCnrth At- flantic squadron, very picturesque and strong. As the National Guard of the District of Columbia broucht up the rear of the first section of the parade, the civic sec tion of the procession marched Into line. It was under command of General" Henry V. Boynton, as chief marshal, and com prised detachments from the military or der of the Loyal Legion, the Regular Army and Navy Union, the Union Veteran Legion, the Spanish War Veterans and the Grand Army of the . Republic. As the veterans of 1)he Civil War passed tho waiting. hearse wheeled- slowly into line, the guards of honor from, the Army and Navy tool?, up positions on either side, of the hearse "and the funeral cortege proper took its appointed, place behind a delega tlon of fhe Grand Army of the Republic. Close behind the hearse came a carriage In which were seated ex-President Grover Cleveland, Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans and John D. Wilson. In a car riage drawn, by four fine black horses, coming next, were President RoQsevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and Commander W. S. Cowles, the President's brother-in-law. Then followed a line of .carriages-bearing all the members, pf the Cabinet, a number of ex-members, and behind, the diplo matic corps. Curtains Tvere drawn, so it was difficult to distinguish thelr occu pants. Solemnly the funeral party wound down past the Treasury building and Into the broad sweep of Pennsylvania avenue, amid a profound silence that was awful to those "who, only -six months ago, witnessed the enthusiastic, plaudits which greeted the man now dead as he made the same march to assume, for a second time, "the honors and burdens of the Presidential office.- The Artillery Band played a solemn dirge as, with slow steps, it led the, sor rowful procession up the avenue. All the military organisations carried their arms, but with colors draped ami furled. The crowds were silent, all was sad, mourn ful and oppressive. The people stood with heads -uncovered and many bowed In ap parently silent prayer as the hearse passed along. A slow drizzling ram was falling. After the carriages in which were the diplomats, followed a long line of oth ers containing the Justices of the Su preme Cpurt, the Senate and House com mittees appointed to attend the funeral the local judiciary, the Assistant Secre taries of the several executive depart ments, members of the. various Govern ment commissions and representatives of the Insular government. The remainder of tne procession was composed of a large representation of local bodies of Knights Templar., over 1000 members of the Grand Army of the Republic, the United Con federate Veterans of the City of Washing ton, and of Alexandria, Va., various religious and patriotic societies, secret societies and labor organizations, and representatives of out-of-town organiza tions. The military order of the Loyal Legion, of which President McKinley was an" honored member, with a representa tion from the New York and Pennsylvania commanderies, formed a conspicuous part in this portion of the procession, as also did the Knights Templar of this city .and of Alexandria, Va., and a battalion of uniform rank. Knights of. Pythias. The full force of letter-carriers of Wash ington, each with a band of black crepe around his arm, walked to the solemn tread ofc the dirge. The banners of all or ganizations were folded and, draped with black, and all marching civilians wore mourning badges and white gloves. Fife and drum corps bands rendered at fre quent intervals along the route the Presi dent's favorite hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The procession occupied one hour and a half In passln&.a given point. At the Capitol. The entrances to the eait and west wings of the Capitol and the great mar ble staircases ascending from the plaza to the respective entrances of the House and Senate were jammed with people. Rain was falling, but despite this the vast crowds clung to their places. It was a silent throng. Scarcely even was there a murmur of conversation audible. ---- 0 OF THE GRAND ARMY F. TORRANCE. - ----3-- ---- The police arrangements were perfect early in tho day. Captains Cross and Piorson, by direction of the- Superintend ent of Police. Major Richard Sylvester, cleared the plaza and threw around it" a cordon of officers. The main entrance to the rotunda of the Capitol, in which tho religious exercises incident to the 'obse quies were to be held, was reserved fo" distinguished eueste nnd for the entrance of the funeral party At 10:12 o'clock the head of the proces sion arrived at the north end of the Capi' tol plaza, but instead of swinging di rectly into the plaza and passing in front of the Capitol, as is usually done on the occasion of Presidential inaugurations, the military contingent passed eastward on B street, then south on First street Headed by Major-General John R. Brooke and staff, and the Fifth Artillery Corps, the troops swept around to the south end of the plaza and then marched to po sition fronting the main entrance to the Capitol. As soon as they had been formed at rest, tho Artillery band on the left and the Marine band on the right of the entrance, the funeral cortege, with Its guard of honor, entered the plaza from the north. As- the hearse halted In front of the main staircase. "the troops, respond ing to almost inaudible commands, pre sented arms. The guard of honor as cended the steps, the Naval officers on thp right and the Army officers on the left forming a cordon on each side, just with in the ranks of the artillerymen, seamen and marines. , As the eight sturdy body-bearers, four from the Army and four from the Navy, tenderly drew the flag-draped casket from the' hearse, the bands sweetly rendered the notes of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Every head in the vast attendant throng was bared. Tear-bedimmed eyes were raised to heaven, and a silent .prayer went up from the thousands of hearts. With careful and solemn tread, the body bearers began the ascent of the stair case with their precious burden, and ten derly bore it to the catafalque in the ro tunda. SPRING GULCH EXPLOSION.

" WASHINGTON, Sept. li.-The funeral services at the Capitol over the remains of the late President McKinley were sim ple and beautiful. They were of the form prescribed in the Methodist Church. Two hymns, a prayer, an address and a bene diction comprised all of it, yet the impression- left at the end was of perfection. Just at 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey mac his appearance, accompanied by General Otis, General Davis and General Rugglcd. He glanced over the scene, and then took up his station at the eastern entrance, Where he was joined by the other mem bers tit the guard of honor. Mrs. Hobart and her son, Mrs. Russell A. Alger, es corted by General Hocker. also entered at this time. The clergymen and the choir, the latter from the Metropolitan Metho dLst Episcopal Chureh, which Mr. Mc Kinley attended, filed In and were seated at the head of the catafalque. At 10:40 o'clock the Cabinet entered and were seated to the south of the platform; and then, to the strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," by the Marine Band, the casket was borne Into the rotunda. Gen eral Gillespie and Colonel Bingham led the way, and every one arose. The guard of honor on either side separated and the casket was placed gently upon the cata falque. Next came members of the family of the deceased, Abner McKinley leading. They were seated near the head of the casket. Mrs. McKinley was not pres ent. Senator Hanna was with the fam ily party. Next the diplomatic corps en tered, all in full court regalia, and were seated to the sout'h. Ex-Presfdent Cleve land, with General Wilson, his escort, sat in the first row. Lastly came Pretl dent Roosevelt, escorted by Commander Cowles, and preceded by Mr. Cortelyou, secretary to the President. The President was slven a seat at the end of the row occupied by the Cabinet just south of tho casket. President Roosevelt's face was set, and he appeared to be restraining his emotions with difficulty. When the noise occasioned by seating the .late-comers had ceased, a hush fell upon the people, and then the choir soft ly sang, "Lead, Kindly Light," Cardinal Newman's divine anthem, while every one stood in reverence. , vr. Jfnylor'a Prayer. At the conclusion of the hymn. Rev. Dr. Henry R. Naylor. presiding eider of the Washington District, Methodist Epis copal church, delivered the invocation, while the distinguished company listened with bowed heads. O Lord God. our Heavenly Father, a be reaved Nation cometh to TheeMn its deep sorrow. To whom can we go In such an hour as tlito but unto Thee. Thou ouly art able to comfort and support the af flicted. Death strikes .down the tallest and best of men, and consequent changes are continually occurring among nations and communities; but we have been taught that Thou art the same yesterday, today and forever, that with Thee there is no variableness, nor the least shadow of turning. So in tho midst of our grief we turn to Thee for help. We thank Thee, O Lord, that years ago Thou didst give to this Nation a man whose loss we mourn today. We thank Thee for tho pure and unselfish life he was enabled to live In tho midst of so eventful an experience. We thank Thee for the faithful and dis tinguished services which ho was enabled to render to Thee, to our country and to tho world. Wc bless Thee for such a citizen, for such a law-maker, for such a Governor, for such a President, for such a husband, for such a. Christian example, and for such a friend. But, O Lord, we deplore our loss today; wo sincerely Implore Thy sanctifying benediction. 'Wo pray Thee for that dear one who has been walking by his sldo through the years, shar ing his triumphs and partaking of his sor rows. Give to her all needed sustenance and comfort her stricken heart so greatly craves. And under the shadow of this great calamity may 3he learn as never before tho fatherhood of God and the matchless character of His sus taining grace. And, O Lot d, we sincerely pray for him upon whom the mantle of Presidential authority has so suddenly and unexpectedly fallen. Help him to walk worthy the high vocation whrre unto he has been called. He needs Thy guid ing hand and Thy inspiring spirit continually. May he always present to the Nation and to the world divinely illumined judgment, a brave heart and an unsullied character. Hear our prayer, O Lord, for tho official family of the Administration, ot those men who as sociated with Thy' servant, tho President in the administration of affairs of government. , Guide them in all their deliberations to th Nation's welfare and to the glory of God. And now. O Lord, we humbly pray for Thy blessing and consolation to come to all tho people of our land and Nation. Forglvo our past shortcomings: our sins of omission as well as our sins of commission. Help us to make tho Golden Rule thostandard of our lives, that wo may "do unto others as we would have them do unto us," and thus bo come Indeed a people whose God Is the Lord. These thlng3 we humbly ask in the name of him who taught us when we pray to say: "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come. Thy will bo dono on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our dally bread and forgive us our tres passes as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine Is the kingdom and tho power and tho glory, forever. Amen." As the pastor ceased, the voices of the choir swelled forth and tho rich, pure so prano notes of Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes led the hymn "Sometime We'll Understand." The music was remarkably effective and touching, as the notes cam'e back in soft echoes from the fullness of the dome overhead. Bishop Andrew's Sermon. As soon as the hymn ceased, Bishop Edwin G. Andrews, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who had come from Ohio to say the last words over the re mains of his life-long friend and parish ioner, arose. He stood at the head of the casket and spoke in sympathetic voice, and with many evidences of deep emotion. The acpustlc qualities of the rotunda do not favor such addresses, and although the bishop spoke in clear tones, tho rippling echoes made it difficult for those a short distance from him to catch his words. He said: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, who of his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, to an Inheritance uncorrupti ble, undeflled, and that fadeth not away, reserved In heaven for us who are now, by the power of God, through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. "The services for the dead are fitly, and almost of necessity, services of re ligion and of immortal hope. In the pres ence of the shroud and coffin and the narrow home, questions concerning intel lectual quality, concerning public sta tion, concerning great achievements sink Into comparative insignificance: and ques tions concerning character and man's re lation to the Lord and giver of life, even the life eternal, emerge to our view and Impress themselves upon "us. "Character abides. We bring nothing Into this world, wc carry nothing out. We ourselves depart with all the accum ulations of tendency and habit and Qual ity which the years have given to us. We ask, therefore, even at the grave of the illustrious, not altogether what great achievement they had performed and how they had commended them selves to the memory and affection and respect of the world, but chiefly of what sort they were; what the interior nature of the man was; what were his affini ties. Were they with the good, true, tho noble? What his relation to the infinite Lord of the universe and to the com passionate Savior of mankind; what his fitness for the great hereafter which he had passed.

In the years to come we will give full utterance as to the high statesmanship and great achievements of the illustrious man whom we mourn today. We shall not touch them -today. The Nation alrcady has broken out In its grief and poured Its tears, and is still pouring them, over the loss of a beloved man. It Is well. But we ask this morning of what sort this man Is, so that we may. perhaps, knowing the moral and spiritual life that Is past, be able to shape the far-withdrawing future. I take it we must all concede that nature and training and reverently be It said the inspiration of the Almighty, ( conspired to conform ad mirably In his moral temper and alms. We, none of us can doubt. I think, that even by nature he was eminently gifted. The kindly, calm and equitable tempera ment, the kindly and generous heart, tho love of justice and right, and the ten dency toward faith and loyalty to un seen powers and authorities these things must have been with him from his child hood, from his Infancy: but upon them supervened the training which ho was always tenderly thankful, and of which even this great Nation, from sea to sea, continually has taken note. "It was a humble homo In which he was born. It is a beautiful thing that to the end of his life he bent reverently before the mother whose example and teaching and prayer had so fashioned his mind and all his aims. The school came but briefly, and then came to him the church with a ministration of power. He accepted the truth which it taught. He believed In God and in Jesus Christ, through whom God was revealed-. JHe gladly partook with his brethren of the symbols of mysterious passion and re deeming love of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He was helpful In all the beneficiaries and activities; and from the church to the close of his life, he received inspira tion that lifted him above much of the trouble, and weakness incident to our human, nature, and blessings be to God, may wc say, In the last and final hour they enabled him confidently, tenderly to say, 'It Is his will, not ours; that will be done.' "Such influences gave to us William McKinley, and what was he? A man of incorruptible personal and political In tegrity. I suppose no one ever attempted to approach him in the way. of a bribe; and wo remember, with great felicitation at this time, for such an example to our selves, that when great financial diffi culties and perils encompassed him, he determined to deliver all he possessed to his creditors; that there should be no challenge of his perfect honesty in the matter. A man of immaculate purity, shall we say? No stain upon his escutcheon, no syllable of suspicion that I ever heard was whispered against his character. He walked In perfect and noble self-control. "Beyond that, this man had somehow wrought In him a great and generous love for his fellowmcn. He had him self been brought up among the common people. He knew their labors, struggles, necessities. He loved them. Shall I speak a word next of the tenderness of that domestic love which has so often been commented upon? I pass It with oply that word. I think no words can set forth fully the unfaltering kindness and carefulness and upbearing love which belonged to him. "And he was a man who believed in right who had a profound conviction that'the courses of this world had been ordered In accordance with everlasting righteousness or this world's highest peril of good can never be reached; that no nation can expect success In life ex cept that It conforms to the eternal love of the Infinite Lord, and pass itself In individual and collective activity, accord ing to the divine will. "And now may I say further that it seemed to be that to whatever we may attribute 'all the lllustrlousncss of this man, all the greatness of his achieve ments, whatever of that we may attribute to his intellectual character and quality, whatever of It we may attribute to the patient and thorough study that he gave to the varldus questions thrust upon him for attention; all his successes as a poll ttcian, as a statesman, as a man of this great country, those successes were largely due to the moral qualities of which I have spoken. They drew to him the hearts of men everywhere and par ticularly those who best knew him. "His, qualities even associated with him in kindly relations those who were his political opponents. They made It possi ble for him to enter that land with which he, as one of tha soldiers of the Union had not been in sympathy during the war, and to draw closer the tie that was to bind all the parts into one firmer and one indissoluble union. They com manded the confidence of the great body of Congress, so that thej listened to his plans and accepted kindly and hopefully and truthfully all his declarations. His qualities gave him reputation, not In this land alone, but throughout the worm, ana maae it posaioie tor mm to i minister, in the style In which he has miMSj2VW. peddlers, SLSgood. ap1 soap 5o Holders of 2C within the last two or three years min istered, to the welfare and peace of hu man kind." And will such a man die? Is It possible that He who created, re deemed, transformed, uplifted, illumined such a man will permit him to fall into oblivion? The Instincts of morality are in all good men. The divine, word of the scriptures leaves us no room for doubt. 'I. said one whom he trusted, fm tVio raciirrwtlnn nrttl fhA 11 FT -. that belleveth In me. though ho were dead, yet shall he live, and whosoever llvcth and belleveth In mo shall never die. "Lost to us, but not to his God. Lost from earth, but entered heaven. Lost from these labors and perlk. but en tered Into the everlasting peace and ever advancing progress. Blessed be God. vho gives us this hope in the hour of our calamity,, and enables u to triumph through Him who hath redeemed us. "I,f there is a personal Immortality be fore him. let us all rejoice that there Is an Immortality and v memory in tho hearts of a large and ever-growing ppo ple, who. through the ages to come, the generations that are yet to be, will look back upon this life, upon Its nobility and purity and service to humanity, and thank God for it. The years draw on when his name shall be counted among the Illustrious of the earth. William of Orange is not dead. Cromwell la not dead. Washington lives In the heart3 and lives of his countrymen. Lincoln, with his Infinite sorrow, lives to teach us and to lead us on. And McKinley shall summon all statesmen and all his countrymen to purer living, nobler alms, sweeter and immortal blessedness." The address lasted only about a quarter of an hour- As the bishop concluded, every, one In the vast rotunda ro, al the choir. Intoning the .air. hundreds of voices joined In the grand old hymn, "Nearer. My God. to Thee." It was an affecting moment-. In the midst of the singing. Admiral Robley D. Evans, ad vancing directly, placed a beautiful blue floral cross at the foot of the casket. The last notes died away softly, and with up lifted hands, the benediction was pro nounced by Rev. Dr. W. H. Cha-pman, acting pastor of the Metropolitan Church. This ended the religious services. The Public Admitted. After the funeral services almost 2 minutes was required to clear the ro tunda sufficiently to permit the admission of the general public. Moat of the flow ers were removed from the casket. The lid was lifted from over the face, and at 11:53 the people began to file by. coming lntd the building at the eat door and passing out through the west door. The people passed on both sides of the casket. No one was allowed more than a hurried glance. A's the coffin rested upon the catafalque It was just about high enough to permit of easy Inspection by- adults. The crowd entered through l"he east main door of the Capitol and passed out through the west exit. The people came in double file, one line passing to the right and the other to the left' of the casket. Only a hurried glance was permitted to any one, as It was announced that the ceremony would close promptly at 6:30 o'clock. AnnrclklNt Cntc Postponed. CHICAGO, Sept. 17.
