"iel ito Roosevelt Asks the Members to Remain Religious Services Will 8e Held. Buffalo, Sept. 16.—Theodore Roose velt, who today was tragically elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the Ameri can Republic by the death of President McKinley, entered this city of mourn ing yesterday afternoon, after a re markable and perilous journey from the heart of the north woods. He had been President under the Constitution and law of the land, since the minute the martyred President ceased to live. All the duties and pow- ers of the office had devolved upon him, but he was as powerless as the humblest citizen to exercise one of them until be had complied with the constitutional provision requiring him to take a prescribed oath to support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States. IAMM U PAKKKR. ed by President McKinley in bis Buf falo speech. After the obsequies over the late President, the Cabinet, at President Roosevelt's request, assembled at the residence of Commander Cowles, where the President is staying, prin cipally for the purpose of informing their new chief of the state of affairs In their respective departments. The President then addressed his advisers collectively, as he had pre viously done individually, requesting them ail to retain their respective positions in his Cabinet. Mr. Roose velt expressed the hope and expecta tion 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 Cabinet. The President said, howev er. that there was one difference be tween the present tender and that of an original offer—namely, that under the present circumstances they were not at liberty to decline. Upon being asked by a mmber if resignations should be formally pre sented in the usual manner, the Pres ident answered that his action at this meeting had precluded the necessity of presenting resignations. The dis cussion turned upon the policy of the Administration and Mr. Roosevelt an nounced that he regarded the speech of the late President at the Buffalo Exposition, made previous to the trag ic shooting, as outlining the policies to be followed by the Administration. It cannot be learned at this time whether or not all the members will be willing to serve the full term.

Bullet Having Been Poisoned. Buffalo, Sept. 17 —The following re port of the autopsy upon the remains of President McKinley has been made public: ‘ The bullet which struck over tike breast irone did not pass through the skin snd did little harm. The other bullet passed through both walls of the stomach near Its lower border. Both holes were found to be perfect ly closed by the stitches, but the tlaaue around each hole had become gangrenous, After passing through the stomach the bullet passed Into the back walls of the abdomen, hit ting and tearing the upper end of the kidney. This portion of the bullet's track was also gangrenous tbe gang rene involving the pancreas. The bullet has not yet been found. There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evi dence of any atempt at repair on the part of nature, and death resulted from the gangrene which affected the stomach around the bullet wounds, as well as the tissues around the fur ther course of the bullet. Death was unavoidable by any surgical or med ical treatment, and was the direct re sult of the bullet wound.” B Parker, ol SAO hixih avenue, Nev York i' ll-, I» the Negro who stood din-cily alu-eil of < zoIg.Hiz whi-u lie «hot President Mc Kinley >d who hurled him to the ground with a li rriflic blow after the «er-ond «bot wav fired Parker wa« horn in Atlanta 4 < year» ago, in »lavery.

A later messenger brought •he information that less than half an hour previous to the time of the ex plosion all but a few of the employes had gone off duty, thus preventing a more serious calamity. The explosion was caused by gas becoming ignited by the blasts. THE ODD FELLOWS Sovereign Grand Lodge Take» Up Question of National Sanitarium. Indianapolis. Sept. 19.—At the ses sion of the Sovereign Grand Ixxige of Odd Fellows, a resolution was intro duced and referred to a special com mittee to assess directly each member of the order 50 cents for the purpose of raising a fund for the construction and maintenance of a National sani tarium at Hot Springs.

The parade this af ternoon contained 25.000 men in line, including 58 brass bands. t Sympathy at Odessa. London. Sept. 19.—A dispatch to the Times from Odessa says a feeling of deepest sympathy with Mrs. McKinley and the people of the United States is everywhere manifested. The Listok declares that “President McKinley fell like a hero at his post. He was the victim of a coward, who. Judas-like, murdered the twice-chosen leader of the people with hand outstretched In friendship.” He took the oath at 3:30 o’clock Sat urday afternoon in the library of the ridence of Ansley Wilcox, a personal friend with whom he stayed earlier In the week when the physicians thought President McKinley would recover from the wound Inflicted by the as sassin. There were present when he swore to th oath: Secretaries Root, Hitch cock. Long. Wilson and Postmaster- General Smith, Senator C. M. Depew, of New York. Judge of the Court of Appeals Haight. John H. Scathered, Mr. and Mrs. Ansley Wilcox. Miss Wil cox. George P. Sawyer. Dre. Mann, Parke and Stockton. Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Sprague. Mr. and Mrs. John G. Milburn, the secretary to the Presi dent. William Ixx»b. Jr.; the secretary to the deceased President. George B. Cortleyou. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carry, C. R. Scathered. J. D. Sawyer and Wil liam Jeffers, official telegrapher, in ad dition to Judge John R. Hazel, of the United States District Court, who ad ministered the oath. The scene was a most affecting one. The new President had just come from Milburn house, where his predecessor lay cold in death. Overcome by the deep personal sorrow he felt. In his characteristically Impulsive way he had gone first to the house of mourn ing to offer his condolence and sym pathy to the broken hearted widow. Secretary Root, who 20 years ago had been present at a similar scene when Arthur took the oath after the death of another President who fell a victim to an assassin's bullet, almost broke down when he requested Mr. Roosevelt on behalf of the members of the Cabi net of the late President, to take the prescribed oath. There was not a dry eye in the room. The new President, was visibly shak en. but he controlled himself, and when he lifted his hand to swear It was as steady as though carved in marble. With the deep solemnity of the occasion he announced to those present that his alm would be to be William McKinley's successor in deed as well as In name. Deliberately he proclaimed it In these words: “In this hour of deep and terrible National bereavement I wish to state that it shall he my alm to continue ab solutely without variance the policy of President McKinley for the neaco and prosperity and honor of our belov ed country.” Death Mask Made. Buffalo. Sept. 17.—A death mask of the President’s face was made at 7:20 o'clock. The mask was taken by Ei’uoard Pausch, of Hartford. Conn. P.iuach has mode'ed the features of many of the distinguished men who have died in this country In recent ▼ears. The mask Is a faithful renro duction of the late President McKin ley’s features. The report of the autopsy has giv en rise to the theory, hinted at a day or two after the President was shot, that Czolgosz, in order to insure the accomplishment of his purpose, pois oned the bullets that were fired. The gangrene found in the path of the bullet is thought to be strong evi dence in support of this view by Dr. Wasdln, one of the consulting phy sicians. Dr. Wasdln la considered an expert of high standing in the Ma rine Hospital service. A chemical and bacteriological examination of the remaining bullets in the pistol will, however, confirm or demolish this theory and such an examination will undoubtedly be made at once by the authorities. DAY OF MOURNING. Governor Geer's Proclamation to Oregon People—Tribute to Dead President. Salem, Or.. Sept. 17.—Governor Geer has issued the following proclama tion: "To the People of Oregon—For the third time within the history of the United States its people are in mourn ing over the death of their President by means of an assassin's bullet. During an era of profound peace, when our people are in the enjoyment of an era of unexampled prosperity, and while mingling freely with all classes of the people whose interests he had labored impartially to pro mote, the hand of the treacherous as sassin, which was extended In pro fessed friendship, committed one of the foulest deeds that will ever dark en the pages of the world's history. Our beloved President, William Mc Kinley, Is dead, and In tbis hour of National affliction the grief which overspreads the entire Nation Is shared by the people of Oregon, with bowed heads and sorrowing hearts. “The mortal remains of Pesident McKinley will be laid to rest at Can ton. O., on Thursday, September II, and in respect to his memory, I rec ommend that on that day all’ public and private business be suspended as far as possible, that flags be placed at half-mast, that the people meet tn their respective places of public wor ship to ask for that National con solation which can only come from Almighty God, and that at tbe hour of the funeral all church bells through out the stHte be tolled as an expres sion of the grief which weighs upon our hearts as we pass through this shadow of National bereavement. “By the Governor, T.

Milwaukee, Sept. 19.—Judge Titus, of Buffalo, whose appointment as at torney for Czolgosz was announced at Buffalo yesterday, is in this city, at tending a Masonic convention. He could hardly believe the report of his appointment was true. In answer to a question as to whether he would consent to defend the assassin Judge Titus replied: "Not unless ordered to do so by the court." Vienna Sept. 17 —A constant stream of diplomats and other visitors called at the United States Legation, tender ing condolence upon the death of Mr. McKinley. Manila, Sept. 17.—The profoundest grief Is manifested by every class In »he community over the death of Pres ident McKinley. Governor Taft has Issued a proclamation which explains to the Filipinos, that while the death of Mr. McKinley is an Irreparable In dividual loss. It does not alter the sta bility of the Government or ctmnge the course of the admlnfstratlon/This was considered necessary because the Filip'nos thought Mr. Bryan would suc ceed him.
