Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y,
Sept. A. President Mckinley died at
2:15 O'Clock this Saturday morning.
He had been unconscious since 1850 p.
IN. His last conscious hour on earth
was spent with the wife to whom he de-
voted lifetime of care. He died I'M
attended by minister of the gospel,
but his last words we're an humble
submission to the will of the God in
whom he believed. He was reconciled
to the cruel fate to which an assassin S
bullet had condemned him and faced
death in the same spirit of calmness
and poise which has marked his long
and honorable career. His last con-
scious words reduced to writing by
DR.. Mann, who stood at his bedside
when they were uttered, were as fol-
lows:
"Goodby, all; good-by. 1t is Gods
way. His will be done"
The story of his last hours are brief
ly but completely told by the follow
ing bulletins.
Buffalo, 1853 p. m.-President Nc
Kinley is unconscious and is believed
to be slowly passing away. Harry
Hanlin just left the Milburn house
and says that on the Presidents re-
quest Mrs. Mckinley has been adj
mitted to his room. She is now
kneeling by his bedside.
Buffalo, Sept, IS, s p. m.-Word
from the sick room says that the
President has but few conscious NOM
ents and these not fully conscious.
Physicians could not say whether he
recognized his wife or not when she
entered. Cabinet officers and rela-
tives who have gone into the room
have remained but moment and
then departed.
Buffalo, 1898 p. m. Major Symonds
who has just come from the bedside of
the President, says that it is but
question of few moments.
Buffalo, $40 p. IN. The next person
to leave the Milburn home was Sena-
tor Depew. He was sobbing audibly
and stated that the President could
not live. Mrs. Mckinley entered the
sick room and knelt beside the bed
ide of her husband and kissed him.
The President said: ut is Gods will
His will, not ours, be done"
He then lapsed into semi-conscious-
ness. The newspaper men about the
house thought the end had come and
that the fact was being concealed from
them until Vice-president Roosevelt
could be notified
Buffalo, Sept. ID, 1920 p. m.-Sec-
rotary Cortelyou announces that the
President is in his last moments and
that his body is getting cold. Death
will come calmly and peacefully.
Those about his bedside will be Mrs.
Mckinley, Abner Mckinley, his
brother. the two married sisters, Mrs.
Barber and Mrs. Duncan, and Secre-
tary Cortelyou, Cabinet officers and
others are awaiting the news down
stairs.
Buffalo, Sept. -, 1922. President
Mckinley is reported to have asked
the doctors to cease their efforts in his
behalf and let him die. In his weak
ened state this is not an unexpected
request but they will use every effort
to continue life as long as possible.
Buffalo, Sept. ID, 1896 p. m.-The
doctors have stated that there is a
bare possibility of the Presidents
living through the night, but this is
based merely on the possible power
of the stimulants, Owing to the I'M
certainty Mrs. Mckinley was led from
the room and the patient left alone
with the doctors and nurses.

Cleveland, 1873 miles, in the incredible
time of three hours.

was strengthened by twelve men. Early
this morning the window of the sick
room was opened wide to admit fresh

the sun penetrated the room, causing a
more cheerful feeling,
Senator Hanna came out of the
house at 1870 and said: II am al

THE CINCINNATI FLOOD.
Rising Waters Six Feet Beyond the
Danger Line.

CINCINNATI, April 24.-The Ohio River
focd had reached fifty-six feet ten inches
and was rising about an inch and a half
per hour at 10 O'Clock this morning. The
stage is six feet beyond the danger line,
or the point from which considerable
damage is certain with every inch of ad-
ditional rise Of the waters
Mr.. BassIer, the Government forecast
CT, said at 10 o'clock that the news from
the upper Ohio was encouraging, as the
waters were generally falling. He said,
however, that he was certain that the
final stage here would go a few inches
beyond ffty-eight feet
Yesterday he felt reasonably certain
that fifty-eight feet would be the limit,
but the volume of water coming this
way, he finds somewhat greater than
earlier reports from above Indicated he

remain at standstiu probably for sew
ergI days BY o'clock tonight, he says.

inches. Fair and clear weather IS the
rule today.
Mr.. Bassler has been off duty but a few
hours altogether since Saturday, and dur
ing all day ne has answered telephone en-
quiries as to the food at an average of
one every minute
Many families have vacated the lowest
river front regions, and the buildings of
that vicinity are submerged to the second
floor, in many cases. Several factories
near Main and Water Streets have their
steam plants located on the ground floor,
level with the street, and the machinery
was kept at fun speed while the water
went within an inch Of the floors. At the
last moment the fires were raked out and
the engine-rooms turned over to the food.

CONFERRED With MR. HAT
Mr. LOomis Discusses the Situation
in Venezuela.
Nothing Likely to Re Done by This
Government Regarding &he Matter
Until the American Minister Re
turns From His Holiday in Europe.

ASE hEsAsttCNn mt
turns From His Holiday in Europe.
Francis b Loomis, United States
Minister to Venezuela. went to the
State Department today and had a long
conference with Secretary Hay. It is
understood that the situation in Vene-
zuela was thoroughly reviewed and the
relations between that Government and
the United States discussed. Although
Mr.. I.oOmts declined TO talk regarding
the conference with Mr. Hay, it was
said after the interview that there had
been no change IN the attitude OF the
United States toward Venezuela as a
result Of the exchange Of views.
It was learned from prominent Off
cial of the State Department that It
is not likely that anything viII be done
TO bring matters to head so far as
the relations Of the two countries are
concerned until Mr.. Loomis returns
from his holiday in Europe.
The understanding is that matters
will be left in allegiance until that time
and the situation carefully watched for
any developments.
It is said that the Administration
hopes that affairs viii rearrange them
selves in the course OF time and that
no radical measures win become neces-
sary.
It was also stated that no new in
structions have beeen sent to Mr.. Rus
sell, the United States Charge DAFT
flares at Caracas, and that no steps
win be taken by this Government for
some time to come unless reports of
further interference with the rights OF
Americans in Venezuela justifies it.
E. H. Piumacher, United States Con-
sui at Maracafbo, Venezuela, called at
the White House this morning. He de-
elares that the relations between the
President Of Venezuela and Minister
Loomis have always been most cordial.
I know personally" said Mr.. PIu-
niacher, that Mr.. Loornis Is greatly
beloved by President Castro ana that
the report Of any breach between them
is entirely without foundation"
Mr.. Plumacher also speaks in terms
Of high praise Of the Venezuelan Exec
utive, and believes that pleasant reIa-
tons viii continue 10 exist between this
country and Venezuela. Mr. PIumacher
has been Consul at Maracaibo for twen-
ty-three years, having been appointed

DEMANDS OF MACHINISTS.
The Illinois CentrnI's Conference
Committee Completes It's work.

CHICAGO, April 24--The conference
committee of machinists employed by
the Illinois Central Railroad. after a
session which lasted until early this
morning, completed its work Of forrnu-
laung demands of the union, and they
viii be presented to the company this
afternoon.
Although the officials OF The union de-
clined TO make the demands known un-
til after they had been presented to the
management of the road, it was learn
ed that the minimum wage scale asked
for viii be 30 cents an hour At the
present time the men receiye an aver
age Of q cents an hour, although the
scale varies according to different di-
visions on which men are employed
The Southern delegates are said TO
stand firm for 30-cent rainimum, al
though a compromise may be made for
a slightly lower scale on the northern
division Of the road.
The recognition of the union will also
be demanded, so that should future dis
putes arise a settlement may be effect
ed through conciliation and arbitration
A proper classification of The work
viii be asked for, so that an under
standing can be had of what constitutes
machinists' work and what can be done
by handy men and helpers. Appren-
tees Will be required to serve the regu-
lar term of apprenticeship and the
number viii be restricted 20 one for ev-
cry five journeymen- Time and one
half is asked for overtime and double
time for Sundays and holidays The
working day will be nine hours over the
entire system.
1t is unlikely that the road will grant
these concessions.
