TAKES THE OFFICIAL OATH
Theodore Roosevelt Sworn In as the
Twenty-Sixth President of
the United States.
MEMBERS OF the CABINET ARE PRESENT
The New Chief Executive Declares
When Taking the Oath That He
Will Continue Absolutely Un-
broken the Policy of His Prede-
cessor-Is Deeply Affected.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Theodore
Roosevelt, who was tragically elevated
to the chief magistracy of the Ameri-
can republic by the death of President
Mckinley, entered this city of mourn
ing Saturday afternoon after re-
markab and perilous journey from
the heart of the north woods. He took
the prescribed oath to support and de-
fend the constitution and laws of the
United States at $3.50 Saturday after
noon in the library of the residence of
Ansley Wilcox, personal friend with
whom he stopped earlier in the week,
when the physicians thought President
Mckinley would recover from the
wound inflicted by the assassin. There
were present when he swore to the
oath Secretaries Root, Hitchcock,
Long, Wilson and Postmaster General
Smith, and large number of invited
persons. Judge John H. Hazel, of the
United States district court, admins
tered the oath. The scene was a most
affecting one.

him. This painful ceremony was
simple. His friends came to the
door of the sickroom, took 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 babe
her good-by. She went through the
heart-trying scene with the same
bravery and fortitude with which she
has borne the grief of the tragedy
which ended his life.
state Funeral.
The immediate cause of the presi-
dents death is undetermined. His ply
scians disagree and it will possibly re-
quire an autopsy to fix the exact cause.
The presidents remains will be taken
to Washington and there will be state
funeral. Vice President Roosevelt,
who now succeeds to the presidency,
may take the oath of Office wherever
he happens to hear the news. The
cabinet will, of course, resign in body
and President Roosevelt will have an
opportunity of forming a new cabinet
if he SO desires.

Milburn House, Buffalo, N. Y.
Sept. 14.-President Mckinley died
at2:15a.m. He had been unconscious
since 1850 p. m. His last conscious
hour on earth was spent with the
wife to whom he devoted lifetime
of care. He died unattended by q
minister of the Gospel. but his last
words were 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 bull
let 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:
"Good-by, all; good-by. 1t is Gods
way. His will be DONE"
His relatives, and the members of
his official family, were at the Mil
burn house, except Secretary Wilson,
who did not avail himself of the OPP
portunity. and some of his personal

A City of Mourners.
Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 16.-Buffalo on
Sunday became city of mourners.
The gay and flaming decorations of
the Pan-American exposition gave
way to the symbol of sorrow. The
black drapery of the city's streets
muf1ed the tolling bells of the
churches. Bits of Grape appeared on
every sleeve. The sorrow was every
where apparent.
Military Arrives.
At 1O:3O O'Clock the military and
naval detachments took temporary
station on West Ferry street immedi-
ately around the corner from the Mil
burn house.
Meantime the members of the cab
met, officials high in the government
service and near friends of the mar
tyred president began to fill the walks
leading up to the entrance of the Mil
burn residence. They came separately
and in groups, some walking, while
those in carriages were admitted with
in the roped Enclosure up to the curb.
The New President.
It was just eight minutes before the
opening of the service when a covered
barouche drove up to the house, bring
ing President Roosevelt and Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilcox, at whose home he is a
guest. The president looked very
grave as he alighted and turned to
assist Mrs. Wilcox from the carriage.
The Remains.
Within the house of death was woe
unspeakable. In the drawing-room to
the right of the hall, as President
Roosevelt entered the dead chief
tain was stretched upon his bier. His
head was to the rising sun. On his
face was written the story of the
Christian forbearance with which he
had met his martyrdom. Only the
thinness of his face bore mute tes-
timony to the patient suffering he
had endured. He was dressed as he
always was in life. The black
frock coat was buttoned across tho

DEATH INEVITABLE.
Autopsy Shows That Gangrene Caused
Presidents Demise.

Buffalo, N. y, Sept. 16.-The fol-
lowing report Of the autopsy upon
the remains of President Mckinley
was issued at five o'clock p. m. Sat-
urday:
1.-The bullet which struck over the breast
bone did not pass through the skin, and
did little harm. The other bullet passed
through both walls of the stomach near
its lower border. Both holes were found
to be perfectly closed by the stitches, out
the tissue around each hole had become
gahgrenous. After passing through the
stomach the bullet passed into the back
walls Of the abdomen. hitting and tearing
the upper end of the kidney. This portion
of the bullet track was also gangrenous,
the gangrene involving the pancreas. The
bullet has not yet been found. There was
no sign Of peritonitis or disease Of other or
gans. The heart walls were very thin.
There was no evidence of any attempt at
repair on the part OF nature, and death re-
suited from the gangrene which affected
the stomach around the bullet wounds as
we'll as the tissues around the further
course Of the bullet. Death was unavoid-
able by any surgical or medical reatment.

shaken, but he controlled himself, and
when he lifted his hand to swear, it
was as steady as though carved in
marble. With the deep solemnity OF
the occasion full upon him, he an
nounced to those present that his aim
would be to be William McKinley's sue
cessor in deed as well as in name. De-
liberately he proclaimed it in these
words:
I'm this hour Of deep and terrible nation
al bereavement, wish to state that 1t shan
be my aim to continue absolutely without
variance the policy of President Mckln-
ley for the peace and prosperity and honor
of our beloved country"
The great, far-reaching significance
of this pledge to continue the policy of
the dead president, announced at the
very threshold of new governmental
regime, profoundly impressed his hear
ers, and President Roosevelt's first
step after taking the oath was in line
with it's redemption.
His first act was to ask the members
of the cabinet to retain their port
folios in order to aid him to conduct
the government on lines laid down by
him whose policy he had declared he
would uphold. Such an appeal was not
to be resisted, and every member of
the cabinet, including Secretary of
State Hay and Secretary of the Treas
ury Gage, who were communicated
with in Washington, have agreed for
the present, at least, to retain their
several portfolios.
A Proclamation.
President Roosevelt Saturday night
issued the following proclamation:
"By the President Of the United States.
Proclamation: A terrible bereavement
has befallen our people, The president of
the United States has been struck down:

1T is meet that we as a nation express
our abiding love and reverence for his life,

This was about six o'clock. One Hy
one they assembled the stairway-Sef-
rotary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and
Attorney General Knox. Secretary
Wilson also was there, but he held
back, not wishing to see the presi-
dent in his last agony. There was
only momentary stay of the cab
met officers at the threshold of the
death chamber. Then they withdrew,
the ears streaming down their faces
and the words of intense grief chok-
ing in their Threats.
The bravery of Mrs. Mckinley in
this last moment was only paralleled
by the heroism with which the presi-
dent himself. murmuring the words
of Nearer, My God, to Thee," turned
his face away from all so dear to
him in life, and passed into the last
and eternal sleep. j
All through the struggle of Friday,
when the cratic heart of the presi-
dent leaped and then failed, Mrs. Nc
Kinley's courage had been at the
highest point.
A Touching Scene.
At ten o'clock Mrs. Mckinley was

was awaiting her. There was sug-
g-stion in his glance to her of the old
strength with which his eyes were
wont to meet hers in the days gone by.

back.
Wonderful scene this, as under the
very futtering of the wings of death
the president strove with his last
strength to clasp her hand. She bent
over him and his lips moved:
Goods will, not ours, be done"
He had said farewell to sweetheart,
wife and Life. Then Inconsistencies
returned to him.

those at the presidents bedside that
he was dying, and preparations were
made for the last sad offices of fare

and dearest to him. Oxygen had been
administered steadily, but with little
effect in keeping back the approach
of death. The president came out of
one period of Inconsistencies only
to relapse into another. But in this

clear, occurred a series of events of
