Buffalo, Sept. 14.-William Mckinley
the 25th president of the United States,
died at 2:15 o'clock this morning, from
the effects of an assassin's bullet.
Theodore Roosevelt, with the admin
istration of the oath of office today,
will begin to exercise the functions of
the president today.
The death of President Mckinley
came in the small hours of the morn
ing, under circumstances of peculiar
weirdness. For hours he had lain un-
conscious, with all hope of his surviv-
al abandoned. He came out of the
stupor last evening about o'clock and
while his mind was partially clear
there occurred the last endearments
and the last good byes. In this inter-
val of consciousness, Mrs. Mckinley
was brought into the death chamber.
The president had asked to see her.
She sat beside him, held his hand and
heard his last words Of encouragement
and comfort Then she was led away,
and not again during his living hours
did she see him.
The president fully realized that his
hour had come. He whispered feebly
Nearer my God to Thee" the words
of hymn always dear to his heart
Then in faint accents he murmured:
Good bye, all good bye. 1t is Gods
way. His will be done!''
The president soon after lapsed into
inconsistencies. Members of the cab
met, grief-stricken, We're gathered in
the large drawing room of the Milburn
house. They ascended the stairway one
after another, noiselessly approaching
the threshold of the chamber where
the dying man lay and gazed within.
Meantime, the president had 1apsed in
to state Of complete unconsciousness
and it was only question of hours,
perhaps minutes, when the end would
come. BY 10 o'clock there was no per-
ceptible pulse. The extremities had
grown cold and the rigidity of death
was fast falling upon the sufferer.
The physicians who remained by his
side detected only the faintest heart
beats. Some, knowing all was over,
departed, while others remained be-
cause of respect for the expiring presi-
dent.
Dr. Janeway, the eminent heart spec
ialist, arrived shortly before midnight, I
and proceeded at once to the bedside
of the president. An instant's glance
told him that the time had passed for
the slightest hope. He turned away,
