MIR. ROOsEYELT,s POLICY.

President Roosevelt has outlined in some
detail the policy be will follow during his lbs
cumbeuey of Office. 1t will be remembers
that when he took the osth OF Office ne stated

Of the country"
On Sunday the PIelident gathered to-
Rether some personal friends in Buffalo and
those members OF the Cabinet who were
there, and gave to them such ideas as he had
already formulated for the conduct Of public
affairs and his own policy. In no sense are
they divergent from what has been UNDER
stood as Mr.. McKinley's policy. This policy,
as outlined to his friends at Sundays confer
ence, will be for more liberal aud extensive
reciprocity in the purchase and sale OF COM
modities, so that the overproduction Of this
country can lie Satisfactorily disposed Of by
fair and equitable arrangements with foreign
countries; the abolition entirely OF com
mercial war with other countries and the
adoption OF reciprocity treaties.
The abolition Of such tariffs on foreign
goods as are no longer needed for revenue, II
such abolition can DO had without harm to
our industries and labor.
Direct commercial lines should be estab-
llshed between the eisie n coast 0fthe United
States and the ports OF South America, and
the Pacific coast ports OF Mexico Central
America and South America.
The encouraging OF the merchant marine
and the building Of ships which shall carry
the American flag and he owned and con-
trolled by Americans and American capital.
The building and completion as soon as
possible Of the Isthmsn Cansl, so az to give
direct water communication with the coasts
Of Central Americs, South America and
Mexico.
The construction Of cab'e owned by the
government connecting our mainland with
our foreign possessions, notably Hawaii and
the Philippines.
The use OF concilatoly methods Of arbitrs-
ton In oil disputes with foreign nations 30 as
to avoid armed strife.
The protection Of the savings Of the people
In banks and in other forms and other i'll
yesiment by the preservation Of the COM

Secretary and Mrs. Hay C lied ut the
Executive Mansion this afternoon but
were, like other visitors, unable to see
Mrs. Mckinley. During the exercises
at the Capitol the grounds were thrown
open to the public and there were many
callers. Few, however, got beyond the
door.

over the world over the assassination
Of President Mckinley. Memorial ser.

in line, uniting with similar orgaDiza-
tons OF this city.
Throughout the city the display OF mourn
log has gradually increased since yesterday
morning, and today from midway on every
stsff floats the Stars and Stripes. So great has
teen the demsnd for crepe that telegraphic
orders were sent to Boston and other cities
even more distant for large consgnments.
Nearly every scrap Of black cloth in the city
was exhausted yesterday, and many places oil
business make use of brosdcloth and other
expensive fabrics. The general decorations are

and harmony prevail. Over many shop
fronts are pictures Of the late President
draped in black, with the national nag fes

middle, and quotations fitting the lille and
deeds of the man are not infrequent. There
has not been the slightest partisan feeling ex

Washington. September II.
Amidst a silence unbroken save by
the mourDful music and the measured
tread of many feet President McKin-
ley's body was today taken on it's final
journey from the White House to the
Capitol. Early this morning the city
was astir with preparations for the iu-
neral march. The SKY was overcast OF
aud threatened rain, giving promise
much the same kind OF day that saw
President Mckinley ride to the Capitol
in the Inaugural parade last March.
The start from the White House was
made very shortly after nine o'clock.
On all the cross streets near Pennsyl-
vania Avenue the troops and civic Or
CARNATIONS had been forming since
early morning. Gables of wire had been
stretched along either side OF the street
| from the White House TO the Capitol,
| in order to prevent the crowds from OBJ
structing the right Of way, and against
these barriers q solid wall of humanity
pressed and silently watched the pro-
cessioD. Maj. Gen John Il. Brooke,
riding a black horse, led the COL
umn. He was followed by the
Artillery Band, squadron OF
cavalry, battery OF field artillery, Co.

and the Grand Army of the Republic.

iDvfcEs from Buffalo, N. Y, state that
every day is increasing the bitterness OF the
quarrel among the physicians who attended
President Mckinley. They are beginning to
reslize that their dissgreements are likely to
bring upon them the criticism Of the medi'
cal profession, as well ss that OF the reading
public. DIR. Park, whose theory that gan
creme. which produced death, was caused BY
the Leakage of the psncreatic juice into the
abdominal cavity, is ri2iculed by his asso-
ciates, Is reported to have calle1 Drs Mann
and Mynter pair old fools" These Two
doctors on the other hand, are not backward
in saying that DR.. PARKS theory is ridieu-
lou,, because, IS they declare, the bullet
never touched the psncross The doctors GER
tsinly are guilty OF one Of two things. They
either were in total ignorance Of the condi-
ton of the wounds received by the Presideut
or If not they wilfully Issued bulletins
giving false accounts of his condition. They
Sere issuing bulletins that he would recover
a. moment when lie himself knew he was
dying. Now they are calling each other fools
and liars. Between such characters the pub
lie has little choice.

TUgsoAY EVENING, SEPT. II, 1901

AN ESTEEMED contemporary 10 BalH'
more calls attention to the fact that 10
no part of this land have there been
expressions Of more profound and SIN
cere grief at the assassination oil Presi'
dent Mckinley than 10 the southern
States. The only part OF the Union
which was solid against his election has
been the most distressed at his loss. 10
the whole southern country there mas
been no discordant note. no unseemiy
expression. no uplittiog OF anarchy. In
fact. the South is a peculiarly inhospi'
table region for anarchists. The peo-
ple there are less apt to take up strange
theories and to follow after "isms" than
those in other sections, and there Is
general demand that those who teach
anarchy should be treated as we treat
mad dogs or the most venomous rep
tiles. The southern people liked the
personality of Mr.. Mckinley, bis SIM
nle. transformations manners and his
ernest religious faith. Mr.. Mckinley
also won their gratitude by refrsining
from interfering and intermeddling with
their State affairs. The southern States
while they have had nothing to do'with
the elevation OF Mr.. Roosevelt to the
Presidency are claiming him already as
one.haf a southerner. He comes near
TO being a southernor than any other
President since the war. His mother
was a Georgia woman-Martha Bull
lock, born at Roosevelt. Ca, 20 miles
from Atlanta. She was a direct de-
scendant of the first Governor of that
State, and it was at the old Bullock
homestead that Martha Bullock was
married to Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York, the father OF the President.
Southern newspapers are just now pub
fishing the following tribute to Robert
Z Lee and the Confederate soldiers
from Theodore Roosevelt's Life Of
Thomas H. BentoD:"
"1he decline of the militant spirit In
the Northeast during the first half Of
this century was much to be regretted
To it is due more than to any Other
cause the undOubted average individual
ipferiority of the northern compared
to the Southern troops; at any rate, a.
the beginning of the war OF the Rebel
lion, The southerners, by their whole
mode OF living, their habits and thel
love of outdoor sports, kept up thell
warlike spirit, while in the North the
so-called upper classes developed along
the lives of wealthy and timid bour'
Qeoise type, measuring everything by a
mercantile standard "a peculiarly de-
basing one by itsel0, and submitting to
be ruled 10 local affairs by low foreign
mobs and in national matters by their
arrogant southern kinsmeu. The mill
tant spirit Of these last certainly stood
them iu good stead in the Civil War.
The world has never seen better soldiers
than those who followed Lee; and their
leader will undoubtedly rank as with.
out an exception the very greatest OF
all the great captains that the Eoglish
speaking people have brought forth
and this, although the last and chief oil
his antagonists may himself claim to
stand as the full equal of Marlborough
and Wellington"

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, ss stated 10

no longer needed for revenue, ii such

step 10 the direction OF lowering the
