Leading Daiiies Show Deep sympathy
for Nations BereAvement
The all-Rbsorblng topic In st.
Petersburg has been the death OF
President Mckinley. The tone OF the
press was uniformly sympathetic with
the American people In their bereave-
ment and uniformly just in estimating
Mr.. McKinley's character. The Novo
Vremya says; HE was man OF
rare talents and a beloved son OF the
country for whose welfare he unceas-
ingly and successfully labored." The
sviet says: Let us hope that the
death OF talented and energetic
president will rouse those lands which
for the sake OF freedom OF conscience
and thought harbor bad elements and
become the breeding grounds for plots
TO action against the enemies OF civ
ilization." The Boerse Gazette says:
"Mr. Mckinley was one OF the most
popular figures In American history
and one OF the best representatives OF
American ideals. Society Ia defense
less against the propaganda OF murder
II IL scarcely probable that means will
be found to prevent the repetition OF
such crimes. The semi-oficlal Journal
Of Commerce and Industry says; "Mr.
Mckinley was not an extreme protec-
ZIONIST Shortly before his death he
spoke out against crude trust proteo-
