back, not wishing to see the president in his last agony. There was only a momentary stay of the cabinet officers at the threshold of the death cham Der. Then they withdrew, the tears streaming down their faces and the words of intense grief choking in their throats.
 After they left the sick room the physicians rallied him to conscious ness and the president asked almost immediately that his wife be brought to him. The doctors fell back into the shadows of the room as Mrs. Mo Kinley entered the death chamber. The strong face of the dying man lighted up with faint smile as their hands were clasped. She sat beside him and held his hand Despite her physical weakness she bore up bravely under the ordeal.
 The president in his last period of consciousness, which ended about TAO, chanted the words of the hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee" and his last audible conscious words as taken uOWu Uy LIT. Mduu at tue D0dSlQ6 were:
 Goodbye, all; goodbye. It is Gods way. His will be done"
 Then his mind began to wander and soon he completely lost conscious ness. His life was prolonged for hours by the administration of oxy- gen and the president finally express ed desire to be allowed to die. About S:30 the administration of oxy- gen ceased and the pulse grew fainter and fainter. He was sinking grad. ually like child into the eternal slumber. By 10 o'clock the pulse could no longer be felt in his extrem- ities and they grew cold. Below stairs the grief-stricken gathering waited sadly for the end.
 | At 9:97 Secretary Cortelyou, who had been much of the time with his dying chief, sent out formal notifica- tion that the president was dying. But the president fingered on, his pulse

His last conscious hour on earth was spent with his wife, to whom he devoted lifetime of care. He died unattended by minister of gospel, but his last words were humble sub mission to the will of the God in whom he believed. He was reconciled to the cruel fate to which an assas- sins bullet had condemned him and faced death in the same spirit of calm ness and boise which had marked his long and honorable career. His last conscious words, reduced to writing by pr. Mann, who stood at his bed side when they were uttered, were as follows: Good bye, all; good bye" "It is Gods way. His will be done."

feet in keeping back the approach of death. The president came out of one period of inconsistencies only to relapse into another. But in this pe- riod, when his mind was partially clear, occurred a series of events of profoundly touching character. Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained faces, members of the cabinet were grouped in anxious waiting. They knew the end was near and that the time had come when they must see him for the last time on earth.
 This was about o'clock. One by one they ascended the stairway-Sec- retary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Attorney General Knox. Secretary Wilson was also there, but he held

growing fainter and fainter. There was no need for official bulletins af- ter this. Those who came from the house at intervals told the same story that the president was dying, and that the end might come at any time. His tremendous vitality was the only remaining factor in the result, and this gave hope only on brief post ponement of the end. Dr. Mynter thought he might live until 2 a. m. pr. Mann said at II o'clock that the president was still alive, and proba- bly would live an hour. Thus min utes heightened to hours, and mid night came with the president bat ting against death.
 Secretary Root and Secretary Will son came from the house about mid night and paced up and down the sidewalk All that Secretary Root said was:
 "The night has not come yet"
 Despite the fact that vitality con tinued to ebb as midnight approached, no efforts were spared to keep the spark of life glowing. Dr. Janeway, of New York City, arrived at the de- pot at 11:40 o'clock and drove at a breakneck pace to the Milburn house. He was shown to the presidents room at once, and began an investigation of the almost inanimate form.
 Secretary Long arrived at the Mil burn house at 12:06 o'clock. He had the extreme satisfaction of seeing the president alive, even though he was not conscious of his visitors presence.
 Vice President Roosevelt had been notified early in the day of the crit ical state of affairs. There was no longer a doubt that in the approach ing death of the president a complete change in the executive administra- tion of the government would ensue.
 Shortly after midnight the presi- dents breathing was barely percepti- ble. His pulse had practically ceased and the extremities were cold. It was recognized that nothing remained but the last struggle and some of the friends of the family who had remain ed through the day began to leave the house, not caring to be present at the final scene

his official family were at the Mil burn House except Secretary Wilson, who did not avail himself of the op- portunity. Some others of his person al and political friends also took leave of him. This painful ceremony was simple. His friends came to the door of the sick room, took a longing glance at him and turned tearfully away. He was practically uncon- scious during this time. But the powerful heart stimulants, including oxygen, were employed to restore him to consciousness for his final parting with his wife. He asked for her and she sat at his side and held his hand. He consoled her and bade her good bye. She went through the heart-try- ing scene with the same bravery and fortitude with which she has borne the grief of the tragedy which ended his life.
 The immediate cause of the presi- dents death is undetermined. His physicians disagree and possibly will require an autopsy to fix the exact cause. The presidents remains will be taken to Washington and there will be a state funeral.
 Vice President Roosevelt, who now succeeds to the presidency, may take the oath of office wherever he hap pens to hear the news. The cabinet will, of course, resign in a body and President Roosevelt will have an op portunity of forming new cabinet if he so desires.
 The president revived before he finally lost consciousness, and bade his wife a tender farewell He was then heard to murmur words of the hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee" Before o'clock 1t was clear to those Before 6 o'clock it was clear to those at the presidents bedside that he was dying, and preparations were made for the last sad offices of fare well from those who were nearest and dearest to him.

Emma Goldman, the high priestess of anarchy, believes that Eff there were a God it would be necessary to abolish him." His hand, she says, is against every man, and every mans hand ought to be against him. In justice to law-respecting and God fearing body of American citizens, the distinction, sweeping and funda- mental as it is, between socialism and anarchy, which are frequently con founded, should be kept constantly in mind.

If anything could crystalline the sentiment of the country against the hand-shaking custom, that every one tolerates from exaggerated good na- tur, the shooting of the president while in the act of grasping villains hnad should speedily do so. The presence of detectives could not pro- tect him from an assassin. The per sonal contact of the first citizen with the lowest type of criminal was made possible by custom that American politics has done much to foster.

The probability is that the presi- dent will have another day at the Pan-American exposition. Just as soon as he recovers-and the proba- bility is that will not be long de- layed-there will be a strong desire on the part of most of his country men that he be given reception at the exposition, under proper safe guards. This demonstration would attract many more persons than the other one had; indeed, it would form the nucleus of a celebration as long and broad as the nation.

The New. at Washing on.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The news of the expected death of President Mo
 Kinley came as crushing blow to
 the nations capital. Nowhere, per
 haps. had the citizens been so full of
 confidence in the ultimate recovery of their beloved president, and the buoy ant bulletins of the past week from
 the sick bed had lulled them into a false sense of security, which made the shock terrible when the news that the Buffalo tragedy would have fa- tai ending came to them. All day long the bulletin boards were sur rounded with crowds, waiting in suppressed excitement for the latest
 word from the Milburn home, and nu-
 merous newspaper extras were eager
 ly snapped up. Little word was done
 in the great executive department, as
 at the slightest excuse the clerks
 dropped their pens. and turned to talk
 in small, awe-stricken groups of the
 chances that their chief magistrate
 had against death.
 The three cabinet officers in the cap ital were pictures of distress. Two days ago Secretary Hay had left his chief apparently on the road to re- covery. Secretary Hay prepared for his sorrowful duty of conveying to the nations of the world in official form the news of the death of the
 third American president through the
 agency of an assassin's bullet, within the short space of one human life. AS the senior member in rank of the
 cabinet, upon MT. Hays shoulders, also, will rest the burden of govern
 ment of the great republic in the
 short and important interval that
 must elapse before the vice president,
 under the terms of the const
 assumes the cares and responsibilities
 of the, great presidential office.

President Mckinley, who has been prostrated by the hand of an assassin, has ever been growing man in the love and admiration of his fellow countrymen. He has never spoken a bitter word of anyone. He has de- voted his life to- advancing the well fare of the nation, to bettering the lot of all, and to binding together Americans of every section in amity, mutual respect and opportunity. The affection felt for him is not limited to party lines, and yet foreign bigot must needs want to kill him.

Biographical.

William Mckinley was born at Niles, Trumbull county, O., on Jan uary 29, 1S43. He was educated at the public schools in this village un- til nine years of age, when his fam fly removed to Poland, Mahoning county, O., where he entered the Po- land academy, later going to Union seminary, where he remained until he was IT years of age.
 His course at Allegheny college, Meadville, Pa., was interrupted by ill-health, which compelled him to leave school within a few months. After a brief rest he became teacher in the public schools of the Kerr dis trict, near Poland. He resided at Poland and here joined the Methodist Episcopal church.
 With the breaking out of the civil war he was a clerk at the post office at Poland. He gave up his position at the call for volunteers and on June II, 1861, enlisted as private in Co. E of the Twenty-third Ohio vol unteers. Among the officers of this famous regiment were Gen. w. &. Rosecrans, Rutherford B. Hayes, who became president in 1877, and Col. Stanley Matthews.
 His military career was marked by bravery and ability. He took part in every engagement in which his regi- ment participated and served on the staff of Generals R. B. Hayes, George Crook and Winfield S. Hancock.

It is clear that an organization of anarchists is established in the large cities of the United States. Stamp it out. The methods of assassins are entirely foreign to the American character, and are fostered only by an undesirab ble foreign element.

Anarchists henceforth will be marked men in every civilized nation. The wanton murders they have com mitted, and in which they glory, leave no room for doubt. They are organ ized assassins, and to shed the blood of the innocent is their delight.
