MANTLE FIRST FALLS ON HAY
No Extra Session of Congress when
Vice President is Successor.
WILL FOLLOW PRECEDENT.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Under in
structions from Secretary Hay cable
messages have been sent all chief
representatives of the United States in
foreign countries, by them to be dis
tributed to consuls, etc.
This was followed by a proclamation,
signed by the vice president and coun-
tersigned by the Secretary of State,
directing the closing of executive, navy
yards and army posts as a mark of
mourning.
The necessary orders have been pro-
mulgated from the departments of
State. war and navy. They are all
drafted on lines similar to orders issued
when President Garfield was stricken.
The War department has issued orders
to all division. and department COM
manders wherever located.
The White House flag is half-mast-
ed, but comparatively recently act of
congress forbids draping public build
ings with emblems of mourning. Pres
ident Roosevelt, as his first official act,
issued a proclamation announcing the
death of the late president. He will
likely designate the day of burial and
appoint it to observed throughout the
United States as day of mourning.
AS the senior member in rank of the
cabinet, upon Mr.. Hays shoulders also
will rest the burden of government of
the great republic in the short, but
important. interval that must elapse
before the vice president, under the
terms of the constitution, assumes the
cares and responsibilities of the great
presidential office.
All the cabinet, chief diplomatic Off
Gals and head of important bureaus,
according to custom, will tender their
designations. to relieve the president of
embarrassment. but it is believed Mr..
Roosevelt would follow the precedent
set by President Arthur, after Gar
feld's death, and request them to con-
tinue in office.
Some of the cabinet officers are not
in good health and would sincerely
welcome relief from their offices, but
all would waive their personal desires
and continue until such time as they
could be relieved easily, if indeed, they
request relief at all.
+ Under the presidential succession act
a cabinet officer becoming chief mag
istrate, would have to summon congress
in special session, but this requirement
does not apply to vice president sue
ceeding to the office of his dead prede-
| cessor. and it is believed no extra
session would be called in the absence
of statutory requirements. as the three
months intervening until December
can be bridged over without difficulty.
and there is no special occasion for
congress assembling.

His Work Done.

The nation mourns as one which has
suffered a great loss, but loss which
is not irreparable. His work has
been. to great extent, accomplished.
OF the problems which confronted him
when he was elected, or which have
arisen since his election, nearly all
have been happily solved by him.
The war with Spain has been con-
Quoted to successful conclusion. The
country is at peace with all mankind.
1t is tranquil and prosperous. There
are no threatening clouds visible on
the political or business horizon.
If the President thought of himself
at all in his last moments he could
have taken comfort in the reflection
that he had well-nigh fulfilled his mis-
sion-that he had done for the people
all and more than they had expected
of him. and had won for himself fame

Johann Moat Arrestad.

New York, Sept. 14.-Johann Most
the most widely known anarchist edi-
tor, has been arrested. The complaint
filed includes the following from one of
Most's late editorials: The greatest of
all follies in the world is the belief that
there can be a crime of any sort against
despots and their accomplices. Such a
belief is in itself crime. Despots are
outlaws; they are in human shape
what the tiger is among beasts To
spare them is crime AS despots they
make use of everything, treachery,
poison, murder, etc, so everything
should be employed against them"

Old-fashioned canoes are now in the
hight of fashion. as is almost every
kind of jewel that boasts of antiquity.
Canoes are worn as ornaments and
figure in belts and bands in the latest
embroideries. Many of the old-fash-
toned brooches with huge jewels in the
center. which we have abjured with a
vengeance, are coming back to us, not
to wear as a brooch, but in combina-
ton with leather. velvet or chiffon in
the ornamentation of dress. Among
the choicest new jewels are pendants
of dull rough gold with imbedded jew
els and pendants of natural pearls or
bits of turquoise suspended by tiny
gold links. The color combinations in
many of these ornaments are rich and
exquisite.

Willlesbarre, Pa, Sept. 16.-Leon
Czolgosz made tour of the anthracite
regions six years ago, and organized a
lodge of anarchists here. He speaks
several languages. People who came
in contact with Czolgosz, then, say that
he was after notriety all the time and
whenever the anarchists met, he in
sisted on doing all the talking. His
theory was that the condition of the
working people in this country would
never be improved until the doctrines
advocated by the anarchists were put
into practice.

the man who was near his death was
heard at the meeting. Instead there
were speeches in which the name of

destruction of the existing social order,

AS in former times no privileged

no more can we take it for granted
that the capitalists of the present day
will forego their privileges and their
