Hand correspondents. made up funeral
Scompauy that filled twenty-one cars.
The train on which was the body of
the dead President was the second
section, and it left the station at $40
o'clock. The train practically was the
3 &same as was used for the journey
from Buffalo. with the addition Of a
Bprivate car for President Roosevelt's
Occupancy.
The observation car bearing the
&body was flooded with light. Through
8its crystal sides could be seen the
beautifully draped casket. with its
: mass of rare blossoms so arranged
that even as the train swept through
: the night the people in the country it
passed through could gaze upon the
casket with 4 soldier standing grimly

was the night. Now and then the

3oould be seen by the light from the
death chamber as the train flashed by.
and as villages were. passed the sound
oe tolling bells came family to the
1heavy- hearted mourners aboard.
At Baltimore the track was lined
with people. Laborers and handsome
ly dressed women stood side by side.
: Then for miles the train ran through
= the Dutch settlements Of Pennsyiva-
MA. 1t was after 10 o'clock, but many
Dunkards, the men uncovered, the
8women in their quaint bonnets, were
8beside the track. Others could be
seen in the open doors of their lighted
farmhouses.
: The lighted death chamber in the
rear car formed an impressive specta-
4cle to them-the bier in full view. the
soldier with bayoneted gun at salute,
land the sailor with drawn cutlass
lguarding the body.
York was reached at 11.30 p. m.
Ten thousand people were at the sta

aTne bells Of the town tolled dolefully
as the train passed.
Soon after leaving York all retired
aboard the trains. 1t was raining
asteadily, but neither rain nor the late
ness of the hour kept the mourning
people from the track to pay their
8fnal tribute Of honor and respect to
8their departed President.
a Harrisburg was not reached until
Safter midnight, but the crowd was
8enormous and the scene impressive.
The train stopped several minutes
while crews and engines were changed
land the multitude had an excellent op-
: 8portunity to see the guarded coffin,
#revealed in the brilliantly lighted car.
. After leaving Harrisburg the fun
eral train entered the mountains. 1t
4had been arranged for the miners and
oemployes of the iron and steel works
to line the tracks with their lamps in
their hats and stand until the train
&passed. This made very impressive
spectacle.

Buffalo, y. Y.-The tragedy Of the
new century eliminated at 2.15 O'Clock
on Saturday morning, when President
Mckinley peacefully passed away at
the residence of John G. Milburn. Mrs.
Mckinley had retired to her room,
and was not with him at the end. Els
last conscious words reduced to writ
ing by DR.. Mann, who stood at his
bedside when they were uttered, were
as follows:
Good bye. All good bye. 1t is
Gods way. His will be done, not
ours"
Those present at the time Of the
Presidents death were Secretary Cor
telyou. DR.. Rixey. Mrs. and Miss
Barber and Miss Duncan.
President McKinley's last conscious
hour on earth was spent with his wife
to whom he devoted lifetime Of care.
He died unattended by q minister OF
the gospel, but his last words were q
humble submission to the will Of the
God in Whom he believed. He was
reconciled to the cruel fate to which
an assassins bullet had condemned
him. and faced death in the same
spirit of calmness and poise which
had marked his long and honorable
career.
Mrs. Mckinley last saw her husband
between II and y o'clock. At that
time she sat by the bedside. holding
his hand. The members Of the Cabi-

H There is much that Is new in this
statement. Gangrene had not beer
suspected by any Of the doctors in at
attendance on the President, and theil
e. statements made just after his deatl
8showcd that they believed there wa:
4 3something the matter with the heart
HThis organ was found to be free from
5 SdiSease, however, when the body wa:
4opened, although the statement l:
/ made that the heart walls were very
y thin.
Il The startling feature of the autopsy
is the discovery that the bul
Slei. after piercing both walls Of TIT
3St1mach, struck and tore the upper
end Of the kidney. The doctors were
Aconfident all through the President
#illness that no other organ Of the body
Ahad been injured except the stomach
#and that the bullet had lodged in tht

Great surprise was caused by thl
8publication Of the official report Of til,
Hautopsy. 1t seems to be the impres
: sion that unless the physicians wer'
misquoted In some of their statements
they were seriously in error as to thei
2diagnosis of the case.

GANGRENE CAUSED DEATH.

The Autopsy Shows That Mckinley Mover
Had Chance to Recover.
Buffalo, N. Y.-The result Of the au-
|topsy performed upon the body of
president Mckinley shows that death
was caused by the development of
gangrene in the tissue of the stomach
|around each of the two perforations
made by the bullet which pierced that
organ. 1t was also shown that the
bullet had torn one of the kidneys.
The autopsy showed that the bullet
wound was fatal and that the Presi-
dent never had any chance to recover.
The official report of the autopsy fol-
lows:
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
