CANTON IN
Sorrowful Scenes at Home City of
Martyred President.

Canton, O., Sept. 1S.-Tenderly and
reverently those who had known VIM.
Mckinley best today received his mar
tyred body into their arms. They had
forgotten the illustrious career of the
statesman in the loss of a great per
sonal friend, who had grown dearer
to them with the passing of the years.
They hardly noticed the president Of
the United States or his cabinet, or
the generals and admirals in their re-
splendent uniforms. The beautiful
f%iag-draped casket containing the body
of their friend and fellow townsman
had all. their thoughts. He had left
them two weeks ago this very day in
the full tide of the strength of a
glorious manhood and they had
brought him back dead. Anguish was
in the heart of every man, woman and
child. The. entire population Of the
little city andSthousands from all over

but in the opinion Of her physician it
would not be advisable for her to at
tempt to attend the services at the
church tomorrow. She will, there
fore, remain quietly at her home with
DR.. Rixey.
The other cabinet officers and the
generals and admirals composing the
guard of honor are also at private
residences.
President Roosevelt and the official
party will start back to Washington
at 7 tomorrow night.

same purpose.
At 1890 the crowds began to pass
through the rotunda and during the
six hours in which the body was ly-
ing in state, it is estimated that 55,-
900 people viewed the remains.
Just at 1 O'Clock a frightful calam-
ity was narrowly averted at the east
front of the capitol. For hours a
throng of people had been massed in
front of the capitol awaiting an OPP
! portunity to enter the rotunda. When
the doors were opened, tens of thou
sands Of people rushed almost franti-
cally to the main staircase. The po-
lice and military guards we're swept
aside and almost in a twinkling there
was a tremendous crush at the foot
of the great stairway. The immense
throng swept backward and forward
like the surging of a mighty sea.
women and children, few of the latter
babes in arms, were caught in the
crowd and many were badly hurt.
Strong men held children and even
women high above the heads of the
surging crowd to protect them from
bodily injury. Despite the efforts OF
the police and military and cooler
heads in the throng Approximately a
hundred people were injured. Some
ried into the rotunda and into various
adjoining apartments of the capitol
where first aid treatment was given
them. A number were hurried to hos
pitfalls in ambulances but many others
were taken to or subsequently went
unasisted to their homes. After the
crush had been abated upon the stall

venerates Wagner is also plain but shows itself
more in his of the German masters harmonic
progressions than in the adoption of his methods.
He adopts the device of reiterated phrases but his
purpose in doing seems to beyond discovery.
Two short melodies, which make up the subject
matter of his brief instrumental introduction are
brought forward again and again. but without dis
closing their relationship the agencies or
elements in the story, and without a sign of that
organic development which is the distinguishing
characteristic of Wagners method and creative
style. Reyer's orchestration is discreet and free
from all taint of that instrumental volapGk which Is
marked in the young Italian school His subject
invites the use of Oriental intervals, employs
them with the discretion which is noticea BILE in

drawback to the work is its want of spontaneous

OBRIEN'S SUGGESTION INDORSED.
BUT NOT WITHOUT OPPOSITION IN THE
MANHATTAN SCHOOL, BOARD

AT the meeting last night of the School Board
or the Borough of Manhattan and The Bronx the
proposal to indorse the letter of President OBrien
TO the Mayor suggesting the of certain school
sites for branch libraries under Carnegie gift
met some opposition.
NJ. F. Sterne spoke against the resolution Of ap-
proval. He said that he had objection to the
use of rooms the ground floors of buildings in
use schools but he thought that the vacant lots
which had been acquired for the purpose of giving
the children light and air for Fairgrounds should
not be used for library purposes
President O'Brien took the floor explain that
he had written the letter only after he had con-
ferred with Superintendent Jasper and with Charles
r. j. Snyder superintendent of buildings for the
Board of Education, and had secured from these
men list of the sites which could be used without
shutting off light and air, which he admitted to be
paramount to all other considerations. The list
moreover, subject TO amendment, and the
board was not pledging itself anything.
Mr.. Sterne replied that If there to
erect library buildings the sites mentioned
without cutting OFF the light and air from the
pupils, 1t ought to be possihe to erect small an.
neXes to the schools and provide for number of
the children who at present did not have class
room advantages.
The board passed the resolution.

feels encouraged in this plan by the of the
NewYork Theatre and the Victoria with low prices,

TREASURY OFFICIALS AsTONISHED BY DIS
CLOSURES OF SMUGGLING.

Washington March 2o.-Collector Bidwel Of
New-York in the city to-day comforting
with Assistant Secretary Spaulding regarding
the reorganized conditions at the New-York
Custom House He brought figures to show that
the duties collected from passengers on four
steamers arriving last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday were $4,000 greater than from pas
sengers aboard steamers of the same lines on
corresponding days last year.
The extent of the smuggling disclosed by the
new system in New-York has astonished the
Treasury officials. and steps being taken to
apply the New-York system so far prac-
ticable. to other ports of entry Investigation
resulting from these disclosures has revealed
the fact that large number of transatlantic
passengers. supposedly women of wealth and
fashion, in fact milliners and dressmakers
regularly smuggling goods from Paris and other
European capitals. 1t is asserted that the dis
