c&rtaIy".ChristIan lover to the Ji'e of the
Jover sfbove."
Rev. J. R. T Lathrop's subject -was
"The Faithful Charch Member.'., McKinley
"was the wholesome, vigorous type of
Christian, like Garfield and Harrison, and
of whom Theodore Roosevelt Is one- The
speaker referred to the courtship of Mc
Kinley and his future -wife. "'He -wa6 a
teacher in a Methodist Sabbath school,
and Bfae of a Presbyterian. The two met
-ften, and finally became acquainted. The
Christian friendship ripened into Christian
love, and culminated in a happy Christian
marriage. The two were splendid types of
. Christian civilization, the proper foun
dation for the Christian Nation."
Rov. 35. P. Hill, in his closing prayer,
spoke of the significance of Christianity
In the mc "We met today," he said,
"to express our sorrow; tonight we wel
come him as our own. He asked God's
blessing la his earthly career, and was
Tiot fraid at the end to place his hand
in that of the unseen.
The great organ of the church furnished
grand, inspiring music, and the male
quartet rendered appropriate selections.
The closing invocation was by Rev. N. S.
Holoroft. Nearly 3W0 persons attended
the services.
AT- TAYLOR-STHEET CHURCH.
Ad&rcXHes by Rev. H. K. nines and
Jndgrc M. C. George.
Memorial services were held last night
In the lecture-room of the Taylor-Street
Methodist Church. The platform was
draped with the American flag, and in-
scribed, beneath the flag were the dying
words of the late President: "It is God's
way; his will be done." The meeting
opened with the singing of "Nearer, My
God. o Thee."
Rer.' H. K. Hines was thG first speaker.
"This day, September 19, 1901, Is a day of
humiliation to the American people," he
said, "yet it is also a day of transfigura
tion. Our hearts are full of srlef and
sadness, but grief and sadness, while they
humiliate, transform and transfigure. This
Is the saddest day in our history since
that fatal day in April, 1S65, when Lin
coln, like McKinley, fell at the hands of
the assassin."
Dr. Hines drew a beautiful word-picture
of the universal mourning over the death
of President McKinley mourning not con
fined to the boundaries of the United
States, but participated in by every civil
ized nation of the earth. Passing from
that .phase of his subject, he paid a high
compliment to the late President's family
life and his unselfish devotion to his
wife through the long years of her illness.
He spoke of President McKinley's high
character, his personal purity, and up
right honest'.
"We have had," ho said, "many noble
statesmen in this country, men of com-
andlng genius and undoubted patriotism;
'jut few of them lived as uprightly in their
private life as did he whose death we
mourn today. Few of them can be held
up as high as he as an example to the
youth of our land'
Miss Abigail Smith 6ang "Asleep In
Jesus," and Judge M. C. George was then
introduced. Judge George spoke at length
of his personal acquaintance with "William
McKinley, formed while both were mem
bers of Congross. Judge George said that
he personally knew of the President's de
votion to his invalid wife, which was un
ostentatious but constant. He paid a high
tribute to McKinley's public career and
services, his broad statesmanship and
patriotic devotion to his country. Then
he took up the subject of anarchy.
"McKinley," he said, "represented the
highest type of American citizenship. He
was a man of noble, exalted character, of
homely virtues. To compare him with
the miserable little wretch who murdered
him Is Impossible; but this can be said,
tha both were types McKinley of civili
zation, his assassin of anarchy. One stood
for everything that Is noble in life, the
other for everything that is base and
wrong. To compare them would be to
comparg the mighty ocean to a few drops
of oozing slime."
Judae George dwelt at length on the
et3S5ty;jf speedy punishment" for the"
assassin and for measures to prevent a
similar tragedy in the future. Anarchy,
he said, must be exterminated in thei
United States at any cost.
Samuel Conneil cldsed'the speechmnking
1th a few brief remarks. Miss Smith
sang again, this time "Lead. Kindly
Light," and the meeting closed with the
benediction.
AT ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL.
Father O'Reilly Says Anarchy Must
Be Blotted Out of America.
One of the largest congregations that
has ever -assembled in St. Mary's Cathe
dral attended the memorial exercises for
President McKinley yesterday morning.
Solemn high mass was celebrated at 10
o'clock by Hev. John Helnrich, assisted
by Rev. E. Casey as deacon, and Rev. J.
Waters as subdeacon. The music was
by the full choir, and the feature of it
was the singing of "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," T)y Mr. Belcher. The sermon by
Rev. Charles J. O'Reilly, rector of the
Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
and editor of the Catholic Sentinel, was
a touching tribute to the late President.
It follows:
"With all the civilized world today we
stand in sorrow and gloom about the bier
of him who lies cold in death, stricken by
tne dastardly hand of an assassin. It is
hard to restrain ourselves within the
bounds of temperate language when
speaking of this awful deed. Partisan
politics elnk from sight, and as citizens
of a common country we bow our heads
in sorrow and shame shame that any one
living in this free land, breathing the air
oi ii ee America, could so lose all sem
iblance of humanity, as to even contem
plate so horrible a deed. Aside from
the high office of President, the victim had
so many admirable qualities that endeared
lilm to all classes of people that the blow
Is the more keen and has stunned the
Nation. At the very mo:nant the miscreant's-
hand was lifted against his life,
he was engaged in the most gracious task
to which the Chief Magistrate of this
great Nation could condescend.
"With the cares of state resting upon
him. President McKinley was meeting cor
dially and upon the footing of equal citi
zenship men and women from all walks
of life. As he greeted all with equal
warmth, the reflecting onlooker must have
felt the blessedness of living under a form
of government wherein a citizen of ex
ceptional worth could be chosen for an
offloe, greater for the while than that of
the Kings of this world, and still retain
his kinship -with all classes of those whose
welfare he was charged to conserve and
whose Interest he had sworn to sustain,
even; to the shedding of blood.
"Hence we are shocked beyond words to
express. We feel that the blot on civili
sation that for years has struck at all
authority abroad has at last left its stain
on the pages of our history, and we begin
the first year of this century with an
archy lifting Its poisonous head and hurl
ing its venomous dart at the highest In
the land. This deed, as Cardinal Gibbons
forcibly expressed it, is 'the hellish spawn
or anarchy.' President McKinley was a
Christian, a man of domestic virtue, a
man of high principle, and if he had one
weakness. It was that of being too tender
and big-hearted. It was not in him to
hold revenge. As a Christian, it has been
marked that in all his public documents
he has taken occasion always to ask God's
protection over his country, ana God's
guidance in his great and responsible
position. His last public speech closed
with an invocation to God to bless this
country and her people, and it may well
be placed as his last will to the "Trent
-Nation He loved and served so faithfully.
xne ennre country and the world
ive not been prostrated with grief slm.
beoause the victim of this ferocious
outrage was a man of ideal -personality
gentle, kindly. God-fearing and brave.
Nor yet because he was conspicuous for
his domestic virtues, or cleanly life and
honorable character, giving a noble ex
ample of marital devotedness that has
touched the heart of the Nation. But be
cause he was the President of the United
States, the executive heaa of the grandest
country jn the world, placed n that post-
tion by the majority rule of-, this free
people. - He was honored not only for his
great personal worth, but especially be
cause of the exatted position he held, and
hence the citizens of this country gener
ally stigmatize, with all the earnestne&s
of their souls, the .foul crime of the as
sassin which struck down the head of this
-Nation and thereby plunged the land in
sorrow.
"And, humiliating as is the admission,
we are forced to confess that the assassin
of President McKinley is an American
by birth, educated In the public schools
of Detroit, and having his whole training
in the United States. The assassins of
Lincoln and Garfield were not foreigners.
The impulse to their deeds has to be
found in Influences at work In the midst
of our own land. The remedy for this
moral disease must be traced here, and
not beyond the seas. We may hut our
eyes to unpleasant symptoms of moral
maladies In ourselves, but It can be done
only at the cost of letting the maladies
grow and flourish. Anarchy Is peculiar
to no land or people, for it is the re
fusal of the Individual to bow to the
laws of the society of which he is a
member. The nihilist In Russia, the car
bonaro in Italy, the communist in France,
the native American lyncher burning ne
groes at the stake, are all anarchists
alike. The citizens of every land should
deal first with the forms of anarchy
springing up on Its own soil, and not cast
Pharisaical eyes on the .sins of others.
Let us cast out the beam which is in our
own eye, and then we may see the mote
which Is In the eye of others.
"As Catholics, true to the principles "of
our holy faith, we can find no words se
vere enough to characterize such an
abominal deed. We love our country and
its Institutions, and we respect and obey
the persons upon whom God, in his wise
providence, has placed, through the
agency of a free people, the mantle of au
thority. "If we would be truly wise, we must,
however, not stop at the mere depreca
tion of euch a hellish deed; we must not
confine ourselves to mere sentiment, but
study the causes that lead up to such
acts and strive, as far as in us lies to do,
our utmost to help eradicate them from
our midst.
"The cowardly assassin boasts of his
crime. No a word of sorrow has escaped
his lips. His was not the act of a mad
man. It was a cool, dastardly, premedi
tated and studied act, founded on, ac
cording to his own testimony, and pro
ceeding from the principles of anarchy.
What is anarchy? It Is the negation of
all principles of law, order and authority.
It starts by the negation of God and
goes on striking down every truth relat
ing to the various duties resulting from
the relationship of God to man, and man
to God, to his neighbor and to "himself.
"A man who has effaced from his mind,
his heart and his nature, the belief In
God, a just God, in a life beyond, in a
just retribution, is ready for just such
crimes. There stands nothing between
him and the perpetration of foul deeds and
heinous crimes, except the strong outward
force of the law. The justice of this he
denies. Force he opposes with force, and
stoically ho is prepared to meet his doom,
be that what it may. Unbelief, Irrellglon,
is the logical parent of such crimes.
"May we not pause as a Nation and ask
ourselves if we have not some share In
the creation of this state of affairs? Are
not eminent thinkers all over the coun
try sounding the note of warning? Do
they not tell us, basing their statements
upon the hard facts of experience, that
by a systematic exclusion of God and re
ligion from our system of education, from
the family life, from our system of juris
prudence, from our whole National life,
we are fast becoming a Nation of cultured
pagans with nothing between us and Bar
barism but a certain outward coating of
culture, the last remnant of Christian
civilization?
"Christianity practical, applied Chris
tianitybased upon and proceeding from
eternal and Immutable truths, has civil
ized the world, and If we are to retain
this civilization, with all its attending
blessings, we must hold fast to this Chris
tianity. Not a "mere shadow thereof; no;
Christianity Itself, such as It was instr.
tuted by Its Divine founder. Its truths
are necessary to Its morality, for the lat
ter flows from the former great prlncl1
ples. Truths wofk themselves out Into
great institutions. Whoever would then
strike down the principles and the truths
that underlie the institution strikes down
the institution Itself.
"There are dangers ahead. Acts as the
one we are all deploring are the note of
warning that is sounded clear and strong.
May its sound be heeded. We Catholics
believe a thorough Christian education
necessary to form the perfect man. The
greatest thinkers of the world are one
with us on this question. Let us continue
to make the sacrifices that are necessary
to secure this blessing to our children.
Let us not be' half-hearted in this matter.
And we hope and pray the day may not
be far distant when our fellow-citizens of
other religious persuasions may acknbw
ledge the wisdom of the grand old church
of the ages and rally to our help In the
great work of infusing the Ufe-blood of
religion Into the mold that Is to form the
character of the future man, the future
citizen.
"President McKinley i9 dead! Our hearts
are borne down with sorrow and shame
tluit such a dastardly crime was possible
in this free land. A cry of horror and
indignation, long and loud and persistent,
arises irom every catholic heart, and to
gether with it a renewal of their loyalty
and love to. the principles on which our
country's liberties are based. We cannot
undo what has been done; we can only
lament and mourn; but we can register a
vow that, if we can help It, no such in
famy shall again befoul the fair face of
our beloved land.
".With bowed heads we mourn the death
of our Chief Magistrate, who has ruled so
long and so well, and whose private life
was a pattern to all rulers of the earth;
and to his noble wife, so worthy of so
great and devoted a husband, we extend
in this her deepest affliction and most ex
treme sorrow our tenderest and most
heartfelt sympathy. And we pray God to
give courage to our law-making bodies to
crush out this foul blot of anarchy, and
here and now learn that all society, all
government, all humanity, need God and
God's help and direction in time and eter
nity. Amen."
TRIBUTES TO M'KINLEY.
Various Sides of His Character Re--rie-n-ed
at a Presbyterian. Church.
The regular prayer meeting of the First
United Presbyterian Church was last
night converted into a memorial service
to honor the memory of the late Presi
dent. It was an unusually Impressive
and instructive service and emphasized
to everyone present the loss of the Na
tion in Mr. McKinley's death. The dif
ferent sides of McKinley's character were
forcibly brought out by the speakers and
he was held up as a man deserving of
admiration and worthy of example.
W. A. Currle referred to McKinley's
home life as a most touching Illustration
of his devotion to his wife, his tender
care for her and his delight in her com
pany. He read extracts from a friend's
letter to him, who was a personal friend
of the President. Her testimony was the
testimony of all who knew him in his
home life.
David Dalglelsh spoke of McKinley's
statesmanship, his career before and dur
ing his first term of office and the pros
perity which his policy has brought to
the country.
Clarence C. Tripp, in a brief speech, re
ferred, to McKinley's private life as a
citizen and as a man. His outward char
acter was but the expression of his in
ward life. He saw in the public not the
thief's chance to rob and to spoil, but the
statesman's opportunity to promote and
to serve. -
R. F. Barnes dwelt on the President as
a ruler. His natural gifts were many and
he gave those gifts the fullest develop
ment He never asked, "What will my
political friends, say?" or "Will thi lead
to a higher office?" but, "Is it right? Is
It just?" These were the test questions
of his life and conduct Is judgment
and opinion? h&ve been criticised by his
opponents, but he has never been called
dishonest, insincere or disloyal.
The last speaker was the pastor, Rev.
Huber Ferguson, who spoke at length
on McKinley as a Christian. The dominat
ing spirit of his life was his love of God.
He lived' continually in view of the in
visible realities, and it was by these that
he regulated his actions. He demon
strated the fact that a man can so' live
and think and act and still be practical.
At his mother's knee he learned to pray,
so that In honoring the son we are at the
same time honoring the mother who gave
him to the world. He long ago became
a member of the Canton Methodist Epis
copal Church and ever was faithful in
his attendance of it. Those who knew
him best say that not a whisper of stain
has ever been breathed on his character,
eHHMtMMMHH -- o

his purity of life, his uprightness of pur
pose. We do not know why this public
grief has been sent. We only know, like
he who felt the blow, that "It is God's
way," and like hta also, we must learn
to" say "His will be done."
After the speaking Mr. McKinley's fa
vorite hymn was sung very touchlngly
by Miss Margaret Graham.
ON THE EAST SIDE.
Judge M. C. George Addresses u
Congregation at Snnnyside.
An impressive memorial service was
held In the Sunnyside Congregational
Church yesterday forenoon. The altar
and platform were appropriately draped
In black and with the National colors. A
picture of President McKinley, draped in
crape, was placed before the altar. A
service of song and Scripture reading was
conducted by Rev. J. J. Staub, the pastor,
who then Introduced Hon. M. C. George,
Judge of the Circuit Court. Mr. George
said in part:
"I suppose very few in the audience
have been acquainted with President Mc
Kinley, or ever felt the kindly pressure
of his hand. It was my good fortune to
have formed a close acquaintance with
him when I represented Oregon In the
House of Representatives, some 17 years
ago. He was then a leader of the House,
and as I was of the same political faith,
I came into contact and acquaintance
with him. I consulted with him and re
ceived aid that proved beneficial to the
State of Oregon. Major McKinley was a
man of convictions. He believed that the
policy of protection was best for the
growth of this country, and, while I am
not here to say whether he was right or
wrong, he was thoroughly convinced of
the truth and wisdom of his convictions.
In the House, when I knew him, no mat
ter what the opposition to him from the
other side, no man ever refused the hand
of William McKinley. I do not think
that any man ever entertained an ill
feeling for William McKinley. His most
determined opponents In a political sense
were his personal friends, and honored
and respected him. His domestic rela
tions are a shining example to the whole
world. I do not think that there ever
was a public man In exalted position
whose relation as husband was purer or
more Ideal than that of William McKin
ley. I remember that I remained at the
same hotel at which they boarded In
Washington City, and there was the
never-ending devotion on his part that has
become of the world's history. "When
Mrs. McKinley was stricken at San Fran-
ft; r?Si,V,her S!d rf0J1tanxy
When he was shot he wanted her guarded
from the dreadful news.
"He believed in law and order. When
the assassin had fired the fatal shot he
turned and said, 'Don't let them hurt
him.' Even then he realized that the law
must take Its course. What a gulf there
Is between the murdered President and
the assassin! The former will be held up
before the world as a shining example of
Christian manhood and statesmanship,
whose last words were uttered in behalf
of his country arid humanity. 'His speech
delivered at the exposition just before his
murder was read with Intense Interest
in every Christian nation. President Mc
Kinley was a humanitarian, and his last
public address was an appeal for a higher
and grander standard of national and In
ternational life.
"I quote a single paragraph from his
address to show his wonderful breadth
and humanity of mind. He said:
Who can tell 4he new thoughts that have
been a-wakened. the ambitions flred and the
high achievements that will bo wrought
through this exposition? Gentlemen, let us
ever remember that our interest is In concord,
not conflict, and that our real eminence rests
in the victories of peace, not those of war.
We hope that all who are represented here may
be moved to higher and nobler efforts for their
own and the world's good, and that out of this
city may come, not only greater commerce and
trade for us, but, more essential than these,
relations of mutual respect, confidence and
friendship which will deepen and endure. 'Our
earnest prayer Is that God will graciously
vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and peace to
all our neighbors and like blessings to all the
peoples and powers of the earth.
"His address was carried by cable to
the ends pf (he earth, and the newspapers ,
I . ' AT THE THRESHOLD. l -Harper's Weekly. t
published in the Christian nations copied
his words and they were spread to the
uttermost bounds of the earth. He be
lieved In law and order, not the law of
the lyncher. We cannot uproot anarchy
by adopting the instruments of anarchy.
We must deal calmly with the assassin
and according to the law of the land, and
not through the promptings of hate and
Tevenge. The young of the land are only
brutalized by the burnings and lynchings
that have disgraced the country-
"In the tragic deatlr- of William Mc
Kinley there is food for serious reflection.
Not only are the. people of this Nation
drawn together by this common grief,
but the Christian nations of the world are
weeping over the bier of the murdered
President. It Is profitable at this time to
consider the circumstances and lessons of
o o -------
- - 0t0o0f4
his life and death. I cannot think but
good shall come from his death, however
terrible the tragedy. The lesson of his life
will be a priceless heritage to the Chris-
lan.. watia.;' . -. . v.
AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
Loyalty to Government Snnctifled
by the Catholic Church.
Religious exercises in honor of the Pres
ident were held at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning in .the chapel of Columbia Uni
versity. The student's and faculty at
tended in a body. Rev. James D. Murphy
delivered a stirring address, In which he
dwelt at length on the duty of loyalty to
constituted authority as taught, sanc
tioned and sanctified by trne Catholic
church. He said in part:
"We are called upon today to take part,
in spirit, in a ceremony of National con
cern, of civil and religious import. This
day has been determined by the Nation
as the day of interment of our beloved
Executive, and the local rulers of all the
states In the country take pride in calling
on their subjects to honor the occasion,
to ' participate in the sorrowful, impres
sive and solemn function, by uniting in
common sympathy and by abstaining from
their daily occupations. What Is the sig
nificance of this occasion for us Ameri
cans, for us Christians, for us Catholics?
My friends, what' It means for us as
Americans It signifies for us as Catholics,
for this is not merely a display of poll
tics, a gallant manifestation of con
dolence to a sorrowing family or to a
grief-stricken political party. Oh, no, my
triends, the otives that inspire this
tribute t'o the remains of the President
are motives of the loftiest, purest, noblest,
broadest patriotism; are motives dictated
by religion Itself; sanctioned and sancti
fied by the voice of the Catholic church.
Today ttoere is no Democrat or Republi
can mourning the hapless plight of the
Nation's ruler. Today there is no dis
tinction between Christian and Christian
in paying homage to our common superior.
"We rise above party lines, far above
such selfish, narrow, material considera
tions. We are a grief-stricken Nation,
for a blow has been aimed at t'ne Na
tion's life. As we, one and all, tendered
unhesitating submission to our President
when constituted our head by the fairest
method known to man; as we then recog
nized him as ruling the Nation with au
thority given directly by the Lord of the
Universe, so now In death do we honor

of a divinely appointed ruler. Loyalty
to our church, my friends, demands loy
alty to state; demands that' love, honor,
obedience and reverence be paid unceas
ingly to those that take God's place over
us, to our temporal, as well as to our
spiritual rulers.
"As man Is a religious being he re
quires iellglon. He must give expression
to his feelings of submission to an all
powerful, all-wise, all-merciful Lord. But
as man Is also a social being, needing by
his very nature to have continued deal
ings with'nis fellow-man, he must agree
witfh his neighbors to determine a third
party, whose word shall be holy amongst
mem snail oe inviolable law; and the God
of Nations lends his binding sanction to
the choice.
"Today we mourn a common father; we
mourn a ruler who has ever shown him
self most deeply attached to the best, the
broadest, the holiest Interests of the Unit
ed States. A man of Irreproachable pri
vate life, a public officer ever true to the
sacred trust reposed in him, Mr. McKin
ley's memory will ever be cherished by
the entire Nation will be respected by
the world as that of a man who embod
ied in a pre-eminent manner all the vir
tues of the private household, all the
manly qualities of a loyal citizen, all th&
qualifications of' a broad-minded, noble
hearted, indefatigable servant of the Na
tion. "Let us on this occasion, my friends,
unite our prayers with those of the Nation
that the God of Hosts be merciful in his
dealings with this servant who'had lived
such a ?0dly career, Let us beseech pj. I
vino Providence to avert forever from our
Nation the possibility of a repetition of
such a cruel, cowardly, execrable crime.
And let us implore his continual bless
ings on our newly inaugurated President,
and on the future of this great Republic."

OLNEY DENOUNCED.
.Insulting Remark of His Coachman
Got Him Into Trouble.
FALMOUTH, Mass., Sept. 19. According
to the affidavit of a citizen of this village,
Michael Conway, a coachman for Hon.
Richard Olney, ex-Secretary of State, In
commenting upon the shooting of Presi
dent McKinley, said: "It is a good thing
President McKinley was shot; he should
have been killed long ago."
The affidavit was made by George J.
Godfrey, in connection with an indigna
tion meeting of the citizens, sl'arted wnen
the remark became known. Mr. Olney
was advised of the matter, and reported
that the man had been discharged. Not
being able to verify a report of such ac
tion, 100 citizens, representing about one
third of the vo'ting population of this vil
lage, determined to give Conway a coat
of tar and feathers last night. Not find
ing Conway, the men marched to Mr.
Olney's home Vo find out whether the
coachman was still there. The ex-Secretary
of State refused to appear at their
demand. The crowd sang, "Nearer, My
God, to Thee" and "America." and made
repeated but fruitless efforts to bring a
response from. Mr. Olney. At lengt'n the
citizens started for the town hall, when
tney organized by electing Andrew W.
Davis, as chairman of the select men;
Edwin S. Lawrence, secretary. A resolu
tion was unanimously adopted saying that
"t'he course pursued by Hon. Richard Ol
ney, at the time when the Nation Is in
mourning, is an insult to American citi
zenship." After the meeting the citizens prepared
an effigy of Conway, which they hung on
a telegraph pole. r
A GERMAN TRIBUTE.
Whole Civilized "World Impressed
by the Assussluntion.
BERLIN, Sept. 19. The Kreuz Zeitung
pays the following tribute to the memory
of the late President McKinley:
"The whole civilized world has been
most deeply impressed by his assassina
tion Faithfully doing his duty, he was
struck down. The hopes of the recovery
of the eminent man were soon dispelled,
and he died, loyal to himself and his peo
ple. If sympathy can comfort his fam
ily and his country, they enjoy it to the
full measure.
"Whether Imperialist efforts will in
crease remains to be seen. While tho
thoughtfulness of Mr. McKinley subdued
its impetuosity, the number of Its advo
cates Is not diminished. Certainly the
United States has matured and become
conscious of the part she will have to
play soon economically. It would not be
surprising if the desire to exercise her
strength should increase. That would
mean changing from the Monroe Doctrine
to strife for greater America."
The paper concludes thus: "If the
United States wishes to keep pace with
Europe politically, there Is an opportu
nity for her to take the lead in a com
mon fight against the outcast humanity
that glories In assassination. Anarchist
crimes have terribly Increased. It Is time

Other papers speak in a similar strain.
A Conference Refused.
WILKESBARRE, Pa.t Sept. 19. A re
port Is In circulation hofe that the presi
dents of the authracite coal-carrying
roads will not enter Into any negotiations
with the United Mineworkers' organiza
tion with a view of holding a joint con
ference and agreeing upon a new scale
of,wages to go into effect next April. It
is said the same Interest that fought the
Amalgamated Association "will oppose
makirig any concessions to the miners.
The L'ihlgh Valley Company, one of the
coal-ccrrylng roads, has persistently re
fused V carry on any negotiations with
"the miners' union, and It claimed it has
the sympathy of the other roads.
The trouble over the car Inspection
started at one of the collerles of this
company, and it led to calling the miners'
convention at Hazelton. For three months
the employes of the company have been
making an effort to settle the-grievances
of the men employed at the Maltby col
liery, of the Lehigh Valley Company, but
without success. Negotiations came to a
close today when the company officials
refused to reinstate two employest who
had been discharged. The outcome of
President Mitchell's visit to New York to
interview the magnates is now waited
with the greatest Interest In the anthra
cite region.
A MEDICAL REVIEW.
Complications Could Not Have Been
Avoided in the President's Case.
NEW YORK, Sept. 19. The Medical
News, in Its Issue of September will
print a review of President McKInleys'
case from a medical point of view. The
article recites the circumstances of the
shooting, and reprints the official report
of the autopsy and certain unofficial
statements credited by the press to the
doctors In attendance. It then takes up
the subject of the gangrenous condition
of the wound and In this connection says:
"The gangrene, extensive as it was,
seem.3 to us not so different from others
observed under analogous circumstances
as to require the assumption of excep
tional causes for its explanation. iMecro
sis of the tissue in a thlner or thicker
cylinder along the track of a bullet is
thought to be the rule, and ordinarily it
Is easily taken care of by liquidation
and absorption; and necrosis, even of a
considerable extent, in feeble patients,
about a sutured wound is certainly not
unknown, even if rare, and is explained
by interference with the local circula
tion, either by tension or by the spread
of coagulation within the blood vessels.
The spread of the process In a patient of
low reparative power would not be so
very exceptional or surprising. Was the
President such a patient? Apparently he
was. According to Dr. Wasdin, when
tho Incision was reopened toward the
end of the fifth day, 'no effort was re
quired to open it throughout Its entire
length, although only the track of the
bullet wa3 affected. That expression
would hardly have been used unless he
had Intended to Indicate that the amount
of repair usual after that lapse of time
had nof taken place. Then the President
was 5S years old. had led a sedentary, la
borious and anxious life, and had a com
plexion and appearance which for some
years had been commented upon as Ind.c
ative of impaired vitality.
"It Is evident that the surgeona, notably
Drs. Mann and' Mynter, with whom tho
first decision lay, acted with commendable
promptitude and courage In undertaking
the operation and showed excellent judg
ment in its course and skill in execution.
They did all that could properly have
been done and nothing that should have
been left undone. The usual causes of
death after such Injury and operation
were escaped or removed or prevented,
and their patient succumbed to a compli
cation which la so rare that It could not
reasonably have been anticipated and
could not have been averted. The Presi
dent died because he could not carry on
the processes of repair and because the
effort to do so was more than the vitality
of the tissues Involved could support.
This, of course, excluded the possible pres
ence of poison brought by the bullet, or
of destructive action by the pancreatic
juices. If either of those was a factor,
it needs only to substitute it In the state
ment for the assumed defective vitality
of the patient. Whatever cause acted,
it was unrecognizable at the operation
and uncontrollable then or subsequently.
"There has been some criticism of the
confident assurances of recovery made
by,those In attendance after the fifth day.
To us, the progress of the case up to
that time appear? fully to have justified
those assurances and the public anxlety
to have required them." '
The review of the case closes with the
following reference to the doctors:
"They did their work skillfully and ju
diciously, their behavior was dignified,
restrained and worthy of the best tradi
tions of the profession, and they had the
misfortune, when success seemed to have
been assured, of seeing it overthrown by
a complication which could not have been
foreseen nor avoided. They deserve our
admiration and sympathy, not our criti
cism." IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE.
Nevertheless the Mournlnsr of
the
People Was Sincere.
LONDON, Sept. 19. The Times edito
rially prints a dispatch from Washing
ton, attributed here to Moberly Bell
(manager of the Times, who Is now In
the United States), from which the fol
lowing Is an extract:
"A recent book calls the United States
the 'land of contrasts.' I have never ful
ly appreciated the appropriateness of tho
title until today. The feeling throughout
the country at the death of President Mc
Kinley I believe to be genuine and in
tense. Tho progress of the late Presi
dent's remains from Buffalo to Washing
ton was accompanied by signs of Impas
sioned respect and affection. The crowds
at the stations met the train singing
"Nearer, My God, to Thee," which seems
an appropriate sort of National McKin
ley anthem. I am convinced that the
feeling of respect was sincere and uni
versal. liJIIly first Impression of this town was
ligst It was en fete, everywhere the
crowds in gayest costumes of many col
ors, making for the Capitol. They were
orderly and decorous, but still they were
distinctly not mournful. I noticed in the
rotunda the same striking peculiarity of
absence of mourning or any sense of the
seriousness of the ceremonial. The la
dles were mainly dressed In green and
blue, and some of them seemed to have
bought the decorated hats specially for
the occasion. The men were In every
variety of costumes. Even the officials
of the place were hardly in mourning.
The long period of waiting was whiled
away in general conversation and read
ing the papers. I repeat that the behav
ior of those present was perfectly decor
ous and respectful, but that they might
have been none the less in an ordinary
lecture-room."
